Chapter VII

Training and the rumble

"Tazuna, you carry the old man. Sasuke take point. I'll take the rear." Ordered Naruto, summoning a horde of shadow clones to keep watch.

"What about me?" Asked Sakura.

"Stay out of the way." Sasuke ordered, he didn't like Naruto due to him not handing over the sword or ordering him about. But he complied because it was a tactical move.

The group made good time and Tazuna pushed the front door open. "TSUNAMI-CHAN, I'M HOME!"

A woman in her late twenties entered the room and hugged Tazuna, the genin heard 'Children? They sent children and one adult?'

'Don't worry, the kids a really good. Especially ducky and the blonde.'

"Excuse me, do you have anywhere we can put our sensei?" Asked Naruto, straining slightly under Kakashi's weight, pack and Samehada.

"Yeah, we have a spare room for him. The three of you will have to find places for yourselves."

"Do you guys have a small patch of ground you don't need?" Asked Naruto curiously.

"Yeah, as you came up the path, near the bushes their. We were going to put some crops in but we can't be sure Gato's spies are watching us." Replied Tsunami before asking "Why?"

"I'd like to dig a living grave...Shinobi terms for an ambush camp bed and a grave should we get killed in the night." Explained Naruto before walking off.

"Surely you don't want a drink?" Asked Tsunami politely.

"Could I have a glass of water, anyone want to see a trick?" Asked Naruto curiously.

Inari by now had stuck his head in nodded. "Please, what is it? Pulling a rabbit out a hat?"

Naruto snorted "I will turn this glass of water into a perfect version of me and then transform itself into a spirit that I've made friends with."

Kakashi had woken up by and managed to drag himself downstairs to see Harry pour the water onto the floor. Closing his eyes and without saying a word and kept his hands straight moulded his chakra and to everyones surprise the water began to thicken and expand before slowly but surely an identical Naruto had appeared. "Ta da! A Mizubunshin or Water Clone of myself."

The clone smirked and picked up Samehada and casually flipped her length ways at Sasuke who tracked it carefully past his face as the clone shifted again becoming taller, paler and thinner. Before long a carbon copy of the girl that had saved them from Zabuza.

"You're the spirit of the sword. The one who one created the blades of the mist and the one who allowed Gato's big ninja henchman his power." Exclaimed Tazuna at Lana.

Lana smiled lopsidely and ran a hand through her hair. "Well technically HE started it. I recklessly finished it without fully studying the juuinjutsu and transformed ourselves into blades. It was said I needed to focus on what I wanted us all to turn into such as statues. However I was an impulse to protect in anyway I could."

Naruto grinned "Nee-chan, wouldn't mind helping me dig a living grave?" Lana grinned at him.

"Go pace out where you want it. I'll use you as a channel for the technqiue."

Naruto scarpered out the house, upto his allocated spot and true to her word, Lana concentrated her considerable power through the blonde and created the afore mentioned pit.

Naruto bunkered down that night completely confident in his camp. Naruto took pride in many things that he did, but the one he would boast about would be the ability to conceal himself from anyone. Including the ANBU black ops.

The next mornimg dawned early and bright, one of the many shadow clones running around acting as security had managed to catch several rabbits for breakfast. Naruto made his way to the front of the house as Sasuke and Sakura left. "What do we do with Kakashi-sensei being injured?" Asked Sakura curiously.

"We train, we may have realised that our chakra control isn't that good." Naruto began, Sasuke and Sakura were listening although they hated the blonde, he made a valid point.

"I started training mine by walking up and down trees. Something about lack of some sort of point or another in the feet."

"Tenketsu points." Sasuke said and Naruto nodded.

"Channel chakra through the feet and walk up a tree. Too little don't stick, to much blown off." Explained Kakashi, who was supported by Tsunami and a crutch.

"You heard him get going." Ordered Kakashi and the genin started running. Naruto, true to his word impressed Kakashi, with a chakra eating sword constantly consuming his chakra and refiltering it into his body, the boy had developed a magnificent adhoc chakra control.

Samehada, or Lana depending on who to correctly refer to the blade as, extracted the yokai and excess chakra before pushing the excess chakra into the system at several junctions.

"Kakashi-sensei, I did it." Kakashi eye smiled at the pinkette, despite being a fangirl, she was capable, he would've preferred any other kunoichi but inheritence is inheritence.

Kakashi, Rin and Obito were a generation of Team Seven underneath Namikaze Minato. Minato had been on a team with both Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi under Jiraiya of the sannin. The sannin had been the most well known generation of team seven as they trained under the current Hokage, who had been taught by the First and the Second Hokages.

"Things, I do for a legacy. All of it accumilates here. The last of three clans and a civilian. I hope I can steer them right Minato-sensei."

"Well done, Sakura. Now keep running up and down until you can reach the top. Naruto get down here, look after Tazuna on the bridge and do the Water Walking exercise and whatever else it is you do."

Naruto nodded and fell off the tree, as he neared the ground he rotated himself into a flip and landed with a bang and a stumble. "See ya sensei, Sasuke, Sakura."

Tazuna had left the house and under the escort of several score of covert Naruto shadow clones and headed towards the bridge. Upon arrival the clones immediately began the Water Walking exercise.

Upon the bridge, Naruto sat on the edge of a completed section as he kept an eye on the bridge builder. "Suiton: Pressure orb!" Naruto called out forming three handseals.

The small orb of water shot out of his mouth and impacted with the river with such force a gyser erupted from it. Tazuna and the other builders looked around in shock. "Don't worry. Technique I've been practising."

The workers soon enough began to abandon the project due to the every present fear of Gato and execution. "I'll keep building the bridge on my own." Stated Tazuna to Naruto.

"Tazuna-san, I could give you a workforce. Untrained but its a workforce." Said Naruto getting a weird look from the bridge builder.

Naruto concentrated and he dispersed his existing clones, the pressure lightened drastically but the amount increased to the point that a faint blue visible aura began to encase the blonde. Then the blonde raised a fist to his mouth and raised his fourth and middle finger and an army of clones materialised.

"Impressive...Now read these manuals and get busy." Ordered Tazuna, soon enough the clones began the construction of the bridge. Naruto prime stood on the edge of the bridge eyes closed and arms outstretched in a basic taijutsu stance Lana had shown him.

Another clone spawned, this one took on the shape of the girl from earlier. Then on command the two launched themselves at each other, Tazuna was amazed at the sheer athelitcism of the combatants.

Naruto he noticed was severely outclassed but then again he was the one learning the style. The style was based heavily on knee strikes, kicks and stomps and what appeared to be grapples and an occasional arm strike.

Naruto quickly found himself face on the bridge with his arm and legs locked up by a grinning Lana. "You did well kid. Very well but you need to practise." Naruto nodded and gingerly got to his feet.

Back at the trees, Sasuke had just managed to make it to the top. Kakashi was observing casually with his book in one hand as he sat on the tree branch. Sakura was helping Tsunami prepare dinner. Kakashi inwardly thought Sakura had been to pampered as a child. That night Kakashi decided to inform the team of his discovery.

"Zabuza is alive...The hunter nin used senbon needles to 'kill' him."

Naruto looked up "You can't kill with senbons...Or rather unless you're an exceptionally skilled poisoneer then yes...That hunter was skilled but definitely would not poison Zabuza...He should be back in a week because the neeldes got him in the neck." "Thanks Lana for telling me to send clones into the library after hours."

"So what do we do?" Asked Sakura nervously.

"We train." Stated Kakashi.

"But he is a JONIN. We're GENIN." Exclaimed Sakura.

"It doesn't matter. Any training you do could be the difference. Naruto, how's the water walking going?"

Naruto shrugged "Good enough. I can stand on the water confidently enough but not yet able to move much from the shore."

Sasuke snorted "Then you're weak. Once a dobe always a dobe."

Kakashi observed the altercation between his genin. "This reminds me too much of my own team. I'll intervene when chakra begins to flare or someone goes to hit Naruto...Damn he looks like sensei...He couldn't be." Kakashi resolved himself to open up his past, he didn't mind mysteries but he detested imposters and because of this combination he detested an imposter that dared look like his father figure.

"If their was one thing I learnt from Minato-sensei aside from the rasengan and an above the normal Konoha nins study of Fuuinjutsu was the ability to keep secrets. Sensei always kept his cards to his vest or in plain sight...Of course! The memoir crate, he helped me make when I was six. Kami, I was emotionally stunted, I only ever opened up around him and Kushina-san."

"Enough. Sasuke, Sakura the Water Walking exercise is fifty times harder than Tree Walking. The fact Naruto can even stand on the water with his levels of chakra is amazing." Explained Kakashi.

"What do you mean? His levels of chakra? It doesn't matter, he can't even do the simple things." Exclaimed Sakura, before turning red with embarrassment because Naruto was snickering.

"Because I can't. Remember the lecture on chakra levels and density? More chakra you have the denser it is and the more difficult it is to perform simpler skills like genjutsu and medical jutsu." Retorted Naruto.

"Can you name someone? Do you have evidence? Nope. You're wrong. No evidence means it can't happen." Declared Sakura with a victorious smile. This always made her day making Naruto feel worthless.

"Genin Haruno...I'd advise you to tread very carefully when dealing with cell mates. Naruto can't provide evidence but I can. The Uzumaki Clan were known for their chakra reserves and density, none of the late clan could do genjutsu but they made up for it in ninjutsu versions of genjutsu techniques such as the bunshin. They had the kage bunshin and they developed the true transformation which is a ninjutsu version of the transformation." Retorted Kakashi calmly, remembering how his team and team eight consisting of Kurenai, Yugao and Asuma squared off against their sensei's. He remembered Kushina henging herself as a Hiraishin kunai. She henged back and floored him and Asuma with a strike of the hilt of her katana and strike to the gut respectively.

"Tomorrow, the two of you will start Water Walking. Naruto help on the bridge. How is production going Tazuna-san?" Asked Kakashi curiously.

Tazuna grinned from his saucer. "Brilliant. I don't need the other two until a week. If what you say is true about Zabuza. The blonde has a brilliant task force."

Kakashi nodded "Kage bunshin spam?" Tazuna nodded.

Soon enough the week came to an end, Naruto had exhausted himself the previous day and as a result was sleeping in. They reached the bridge and the mist rolled in and a deep booming laugh was heard from within.
