AH why is it so hard for me to make these chapters longer? No idea. xD I keep trying to increase the length each time, and as you may say, its a very slow incline... ._. I'm trying to upload a chapter every other night. But yesssss ITS HERE :D I really hope you enjoy! This'll lead to the good stuff, promise. :b Thanks for the reviews! :)
Amare dedicated several days straight to nonstop work in the clinic. It kept her busy and gave her the chance to get to know several more people, who all assumed that she was just someone hired to assist them. At first the people she worked with were not so kindly to any outsider, but as the days went on and she proved her exceeding usefulness, she earned their respect. While walking back to her temporary home, a young boy ran up to her with a shy smile. It took a moment for her to register who it was, but once she did, she grinned at him.
"How are you feeling? You look much better!"
The boy blushed. "Good...I-I just wanted to t-thank you..." He kept stammering nervously and looking at the ground.
"Is that so? I'm glad. If you need anything else, don't be afraid to ask."
"Well...there is something." He looked embarrassed and hesitated to ask. "Are you busy later?"
"Not particularly." Sitting around, really.
"Then could we...hangout?" He said the last part quietly and didn't expect her to say yes.
"Sure, why don't we meet here later on?"
The boy grinned, barely able to contain his excitement. "Okay! Thank you!" With that, he took off.
Amare returned to the house, satisfied to at least have plans for the evening. Until then, she passed the time by reading books and drinking tea. There had been no sign of Madara or Izuna, so she assumed that they busied themselves with training. Right before she left to meet with the boy, the two of them returned, looking sweaty and worn.
"Where are you off to?" Izuna inquired.
"The boy from several days ago asked me to meet him."
"He is already fully recovered? Remarkable." He mumbled.
"Do not keep him waiting then." Madara spoke, allowing her to leave.
She nodded and went to the place she told the boy they would meet at. He looked elated to see her show up.
"So what shall you have us do?"
"Can we train?!"
"Whatever you want." He took her by the hand and lead her to a lightly forested area.
"I never heard your name."
"Oh..." he blushed "I'm so sorry! I'm Ryuto. I, uh, heard others say that you are Amare."
"That's right. Well, nice to meet you."
Ryuto grinned "Please show me something cool, like that thing you did earlier! Show me that!"
"If you really think you can handle that" She teased him.
For the next couple of hours, she showed him the basics of healing. Determined not to give up after multiple failures, he kept trying to heal the simplest of wounds Amare inflicted on herself for practice. Tired and beginning to give up, he huffed and sat down.
"How is that so hard!? You made it look easy."
"A lot of practice. You'll master it by the end of the week, I promise. In the mean time, you should practice your chakra control. It needs to be exact for it to work properly."
Ryuto nodded. "Yes sensei!"
Amare hadn't realized that by the end of the week, she would have garnered two more young followers.
Despite how kind hearted she was, Amare knew she had to be hard on the young Uchiha in order to prepare them for whatever came their way. She cursed how they had to be sent to war, but she would at least teach them enough to be able to stand more of a chance against adults. It just wasn't fair. The test was designed to be simple: evade the enemy's attacks for as long as possible, prolonging their own lives. After several weeks, her three students learned to heal minor wounds and basic first aid. Knowing what these kids would be up against, she could not go easy on them. No one else would. Amare knelt down and placed a hand against the forest floor. Suddenly, she knew exactly where they were and tracked them in no time. As a medic, she needed to be able to know where the enemy was at all times. Therefore, her capabilities as a sensor were only rivaled by her two brothers. Concentrating chakra into her arms for power, she violently punched through a tree, completely destroying it and making it fall. She heard the kids shriek and jump from the tree and into another.
"What the hell was that?!" Ryuto yelled as a whisper to his team mates.
Yushin panicked "Let's GO!" The three of them then took off, exchanging worried glances. The only girl of them, Hanako, looked really impressed. "Who knew sensei was that strong!"
They all came to an abrupt stop, nearly knocking each other over when their sensei stood before them. "Jump!" Ryuto led the other two in jumping down from the tree in a feeble attempt to escape. Amare flew down after them, aiming a punch right at them. They screamed and scattered, as debris flew up all around them and clouded their view.
"Whoa!"
"COOL!"
As the dust cleared, they all observed a large crater where Amare's fist had connected.
"I think we're done for the day. That was a decent exercise, you didn't get hit. Nice job" She smiled at them sweetly as they all three gave her a crazy look.
"Can we learn how to do stuff like that?" Hanako looked thrilled to be part of the training.
A flash of sadness swept across Amare's face, but was gone as quickly as it came. "If we have time."
At once, all three of them bowed suddenly leaving Amare confused for a moment until she turned around and saw Madara and Izuna approaching them. The brothers observed the damage done from their training.
"Quite the mess."
"Sorry about that." Really, she wasn't sorry much for it.
"You're stronger than you act. Should we be concerned?" Madara was being sarcastic, mostly.
She shrugged "Not particularly."
"Maybe we should invite her to train with us." Izuna smirked.
"Mocking me isn't going to make me want to be near you." Over the past several weeks, Izuna made obvious attempts at getting to know her and spend time with her. However, she knew that to him, it was merely a means to an end. He wanted her trust, her information perhaps, and she was not fool enough to fall for such a ruse. It honestly frustrated her to no end that the brothers believed that it would even work.
The kids suddenly shrunk back, both fearful and shocked that she had just spoken to the leaders of the clan that way. Was she even aware of who they were?
Izuna faked being insulted. "Come now, that isn't fair. Why don't we have a sparring contest? If you win, i'll leave you alone. If I win, you have to come with me somewhere."
"Heh, fine!"
Madara hadn't expected her to agree to such a ridiculous thing. As amused as he would be to stay and watch, he decided to leave things to Izuna. There was other business to attend to, anyways. After telling the three young Uchiha to go home, he took his leave. This should work.
Several weeks with them had some effect, she was at least more comfortable among them. Amare stood across from Izuna, glaring him down. "I won't lose a bet."
Here we get to see more of Amare's badass side :D She may be sweet but that doesn't mean she can't kick some ass. You'll see some similarities between her and Tsunade :D After all they are related. And much like Tsunade, she cannot refuse a bet or gamble!
