Chapter 6: Meeting for the best…

In the middle of one of Suna's Training fields…

"So do you think they will be here?" Otto asked as she looked off to the side and sighed.

"Konoha will. Kumo maybe." Gaara replied as he sat on a rock nearby too.

"Hi Gaara." Naruto stated as he walked up to the Kage.

"It is Kazekage, Naruto." Gaara replied before sighing. "Who am I kidding, you will just call me by name anyways."

"Ixy did change you didn't she." Naruto stated as he sat near them.

"She opened my eyes that's all. Matsuri and Otto helped with the rest." Gaara replied as a green haired girl walked up looking around shyly.

"Is this the right place?" She asked as she showed a Waterfall Headband.

"Gaara where is she from?" Otto asked.

"Waterfall…" Gaara stated with narrowed eyes.

"I'm the Jinchurriki of the Seven Tails." She stated with her head down. "I guess I'm at the wrong location."

"No you are in the right place, but I thought only the major villages had one or two." Otto stated as she looked at the girl oddly.

"Is something wrong?" She asked looking at Otto.

"Name." Otto ordered with a snap.

"Fu." The younger girl replied scared.

"Otto, don't scare her." Gaara stated as he sighed.

"She is scary…" Fu quietly stated to herself.

"My mother is even scarier." Otto stated before snickering. "Don't worry, you are here for training to handle people that are after you."

"Why would they want me… I'm not well liked in my village. So I'm not a worthy target for ransom." Fu stated with an odd look.

"Well not you in particular, but you have something that they want." Otto stated getting a look of comprehension on Fu's face with a very pale face.

"Yo, is this the little shinding that my bro told us about?" a tall muscular man asked a blonde woman with looked very irritated.

"It has to be you idiot! The Kazekage is right there!" The Blonde shouted at her companion. "I wanted to get here with little problems, but no, your brother tells, no, ordered me to make sure that no one kills you because of your damn mouth!"

"Cool it little cat, I just want to… OMPH!" The guy started to say but was stunned when he felt something connect with his gut.

"Can it, I can't take bad rap. If you are going to rap, do it when I'm not around otherwise…" Otto started to say as she looked to her side at the large furrow that was made out of glass. "You get what happened there. Understand?"

"Yes." The guy replied.

"Now… there are only five of you remaining. The other four aren't here due to Akatsuki getting them." Otto stated getting confused looks from Fu, the other girl, and the tall guy. "Akatsuki is a group after you five."

"Then they are fools, me and Bee could take on people like that." The female that griped about her companion stated.

"Oh, you think so, one of them fought Gaara to a stand still above Suna, and from what we found out in the meeting he might have been the weakest member." Otto chided.

"Wha… you're kidding?" Naruto stated shocked. "You are immensely strong Gaara to fight evenly against you…"

"If I hadn't blasted him away there might have been more issues." Otto stated as she sighed. "And reports have revealed that he is still alive, how I don't know."

"So why are we here then?" Naruto asked getting annoyed.

"Glad that you asked." Otto replied with a smile. "Today is more of a meet and greet. Tomorrow, we will go to a different village and train there for two weeks."

"That sounds boring." Naruto stated, as Otto smile didn't fade.

"While training you all will be learning how to fight high level opponents without dying. How?" Otto continued as if Naruto didn't interrupted her. "Is with my family's patented Training From Hell. Otherwise known as High and Dirty training."

"That sounds creepy." Bee stated as he sighed. "I'm Kira Bee."

"Yugito." The blonde stated as she looked at Otto.

"Fu." Fu stated quietly.

'Need to break a shell too.' Otto thought with her smirk getting bigger.

'That smirk is scary.' Fu thought as she heard Chomai chuckle. 'I heard that!'

"Naruto." Naruto stated with gusto.

"A little louder next time, I don't think your home village didn't hear you." Otto stated in a deadpan. "Do that again I'll give you this as an Enema." She stated as she held a green orb that was glittering with anger.

"Yes ma'am." Naruto stated in a normal voice.

"Gaara." Gaara stated as he looked at the group.

"Otto, and I'll be your trainer." Otto stated as her smirk fell for a moment. 'Oh god, why did that pop into my head... I'm not Hayate… I'm not like my mom's crazy friend… So why the hell did I come up with a picture of weird cute critters that go into balls pop into my mind.'

"Something wrong?" Gaara asked.

"Nothing…" Otto replied with some nervousness. "Well to put a notice down, there will be no extra training without me present, if you ask first I might allow it, but only if you need the extra effort."

"But how are we going to get stronger if you are going to hold us back like that?" Naruto asked getting Otto to look at her.

"Look shrimp." Otto stated ignoring the outcry from Naruto. "If you want to get stronger than someone that is out to kill you by over training your body to the point it nearly kills you."

"What do you mean by that?" Naruto shouted back at her.

"There is a limit to how much training your body can take at any given time, go over that you have to spend time in a hospital that reverses all that hard gained work that you put in. My mom created a combat jutsu so powerful, so destructive, that she had to recreate it so it wouldn't kill the user." Otto stated, as she looked annoyed. "Why, it pushes the body well beyond its limits and for each and every hit you take or do it slowly kills you, that is what over training does."

"Oh." Naruto stated as he looked down. "No one ever told me about that… well Subaru tried to but I guess I toned her out."

"Subaru has the same habits you do, but she has a good reason for that." Otto stated as she ruffled his hair. "Tomorrow, we head for Konoha."

"My sister isn't going to like this." Gaara stated with a smirk. "But it helps that she needs to stay here for a few weeks."

Later that night…

"Temari, I need you here." Gaara stated as he sat behind his desk.

"I had a mission planned for tomorrow, ask Kankuro." Temari demanded.

"I can't, he is out on a mission and won't be back till next week." Gaara replied as he looked tired.

"Give you're over eager youngster a chance to hold the fort down till Kankuro gets back." Temari offered.

"Matsuri, out of the question." Gaara stated as a shiver went down his spine. "She would abuse the position. You've seen what she did to one of my dissenters."

"I thought that was Otto." Temari paled when she stated that. "Chiyo?"

"NO!" An elder female voice shouted from somewhere in the village.

"She heard me?" Temari asked in a deadpan.

"The elderly have skills that would make us look weak." Gaara muttered. "We both know that Baki is out as he will refuse it for any length and has already left on a mission before Kankuro did. Tough luck."

"No. I need this mission to train my team." Temari stated as she glared at her youngest brother.

"Matsuri can take them." Gaara stated making Temari slump. "Or was there another reason you wanted that mission."

"No…" Temari replied looking away.

"Your boyfriend will still be alive if you don't go." Gaara stated in a very calm voice.

"Shikamaru isn't my boyfriend!" Temari shouted then she paled and than sighed. "He isn't, it was a game of Shoji that he asked me to play… he wants to beat me in front of his parents."

"You are too good for that. You nearly had him in the finals if it wasn't for what I did before hand." Gaara stated with a sad smile. "I still think there is another ploy there… wait for my return."

"Fine, I'll do your desk work while you are gone." Temari muttered as she sighed. "Stupid Kankuro, he knew about my plans and left way before I could."

"So Kankuro knew… he never told me that." Gaara stated with a mischievous grin.

"That grin doesn't belong there." Temari stated as she shivered.

Somewhere else…

'Great I just felt my life just end.' Kankuro thought with a shiver down his back.

A/N: For your information the image that popped into her mind was that of Pokemon... Even at such a distance Hayate can still corrupt the innocent... Will Temari get back at her older-younger brother... What hell will Otto bring to them... Will this training help them in the long run or are they doomed from the first day...
