Answers and Team Training
Kakashi exited the Hokage tower with almost the same amount of information that he already knew. After explaining in detail his test to his genin team, the Hokage just told him that if he wanted answers, then he'd have to talk to Naruto directly.
With that in mind, he headed to the training ground that the Sandaime told him Naruto Usually trained at, Training ground 37.
When he arrived there he stood looking at the training that Naruto was doing for some time before calling out to Naruto.
Hearing his name, he turned around to greet his sensei then asked.
"Ne Kakashi-Sensei, what are you doing here?"
Kakashi looked at him and said
"I'm here because of some things that you brought to my attention."
Naruto raised his eyebrows as if in surprise and asked
"And what would that be?"
"For one, how you acquired one of my sensei's special kunai."
Naruto nodded and before he responded Kakashi asked,
"Would you mind continuing this conversation elsewhere?" while sparing a glance at a seemingly random tree.
"Sure Sensei."
That said, he grabbed Naruto's shoulder and they Shunshined to Naruto's apartment.
They arrived shortly, and a short series of seals later by Kakashi, a blue glow could be seen emanating all around the apartment before it faded away.
"The room's now secure so we can talk privately" said Kakashi
"OK"
Kakashi the motioned for him to continue.
"Well the deal with the kunai, it belongs to me. Someone precious to me left it in hopes that I would someday find it."
Kakashi was at a loss for words. The only thing he could think of was 'could this be sensei's son? After all, the Sandaime did say that he died minutes after child birth. But they look so much alike and now the deal with the kunai…'
"Really now? Who was that if I may ask?"
"A great man, loving husband and caring father" replied Naruto while saying the last part in a whisper.
"So you really are sensei's son." Said Kakashi
Naruto only nodded.
"To think that I was supposed to take care of you while you were growing up, only to be told that you died shortly after being born. I feel like strangling the Sandaime for this." Said Kakashi, visibly angered
Naruto looked at him and could see the anger in his eyes, but beneath that he also saw the sorrow and regret that plagued him. He spoke up.
"It's alright Sensei. Dad didn't want anyone to know of my real parents. He did it for my protection, and I respect him for it. Not even the council knows."
Kakashi sighed and said "But still, if I had known, I would have been able to do more. No one should have to suffer what you went through Naruto, no one." When he was done, he closed his eyes as if to suppress everything that he felt.
To Naruto, it was heart warming. On of the few people whom his Dad had trusted and taught was his sensei, and he didn't hate him for having Hikari sealed inside of him. He felt the tears but bit them back. He knew that somewhere along the line he would find people who cared about him, but he never thought it would be this quick. To him, it felt great.
In Kakashi's case, he was having a serious wake up call. For years after his teammate Obito Uchiha and his Sensei died, he would dwell in the past. He used to think that moving on with his life would dishonor their memory. Even when Rin had disappeared, he still acted the same. He would visit the Heroes Memorial for hours every day in memory of his comrades and friends and would be late like Obito used to be. He had even taken the same excuses that his friend did and used them. Despite all of this, he still performed effectively as a ninja. Maybe it was time to stop living in the past.
He had long thought his sensei's son to be dead. Meeting him and speaking with him had cleared the veil that was over his eyes. It was time to do what his sensei had done for him, be there for his team and train them to be the best. He made a silent oath on his grave, that no matter what, he would ensure his team was treated well. He had been thinking of putting most of his attention on Sasuke, and the council probing him to ditch his other students didn't help any. Now, he knew what he would do. It was time to get serious and once again show the Shinobi world whom he was.
His thoughts were then interrupted by Naruto.
"You know sensei, in the letter that Dad wrote to me, he specifically told me that if I had any trouble, I should seek you out. The stunt I pulled on you during our test was my own little test for you. A test of trust you could say."
"Well Naruto, what can I say. In the mean time, mind if I ask you some more questions?"
He nodded his head.
"Ok. I'd like to know what kind of training you've been undergoing for the last two weeks, because if your performance during the bell test was any indication, you've improved drastically from your days at the academy."
And so, Naruto went into the details of his training with his sensei, from his stamina and endurance training to his practicing chakra control and different areas of study. He also informed him of his connection with Kyuubi, or Hikari as he called her.
At first Kakashi looked afraid and thought that somehow the fox might have influenced him, but then calmed down after being that the Sandaime knew and would have taken corrective measures if something was wrong.
They then continued to talk about different things, and Naruto probed Kakashi for as much information as he could about his father. They also went through the training schedule that Naruto had been using and agreed to adjust it to fit the needs of their team as they would be using it from Tomorrow. When they finally stopped conversing it was almost 10 in the evening. Kakashi was about to leave but turned around and said
"Naruto, tomorrow I'm going to be training Team 7 like a real team, so I suggest you rest up tonight, cause tomorrows gonna be hell."
With that, he dispelled the privacy jutsu that he had set up and waved good bye before poofing out of the room.
Naruto, being a bit tired from the day's activities ate a light dinner and plopped down on his bed with a smile on his face.
Getting up at 5 am like he usually did, Naruto ran through his morning ritual and stepped outside for his morning warm up. After completing it, he had breakfast and made his way to training ground 7, arriving 2 minutes early. On arrival, he saw Sakura and Sasuke already there and said a quick good morning to both. One only grunted a reply while the other replied
"Ohayou Naruto."
Naruto quickly settled down against a tree and waited for their sensei.
As soon as it was 7 am, a puff of smoke alerted them to someone entering their training area. The person looked like their sensei, but Sasuke and Sakura were blinking their eyes repeatedly as if asking the silent question 'is he really here?' He was dressed the same but was missing his orange 'literature' and had a 24" Ninjato strapped to his back with a black and silver sheathe. He no longer held the lazy stance that was usually seen at a first glance but now looked ready for action at a moments notice.
Both were justified in their actions as he was late for their last two meetings by at least two hours. Even Naruto was surprised by the transformation though the only indication was his raised eyebrows. Kakashi, seeing the effect that he had on the genin quickly waved whatever doubt that they had and spoke up.
"Ok team, as of yesterday we are officially team seven. Usually, teams would go out to do D rank Missions for the first few months as genin. Our team however, will not be doing this. For the first two months as a team, we will be training in the Ninja arts to get your skill level up to at least high genin in all areas and higher if possible. That includes you too Sakura." He said as he saw her wide eyed.
"As a result, we will be leaving the main part of the village and going to my estate where we will live for that time. We will be leaving for our training tomorrow at 8 am so you will have sufficient time to inform your parents and friends of your absence. Any questions?"
"Yes Sensei." Said Sakura "What do we have to bring along with us?"
"Only clothing and any other training material that you posses." He replied "Any thing else? No? If that's the case then we will begin our training for today."
All three of them stared at him. And blinked, and blinked again. Was their sensei crazy? After telling them that they would basically be secluded for the first two months of active duty he wanted to train them? Even Naruto was surprised. In the end, they all stood up and Kakashi began instructing them on their exercises for the day, running laps around the training area.
Three hours later, a tired Sakura plopped down on the ground with no more strength while Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi kept up the exercise.
An hour later Kakashi called it to a stop and had all of them rest for half an hour. After their short break, they continued the exercise, but this time they practiced all of the hand seals in random order while running. Two hours later, they all stopped and were treated to lunch by Kakashi. After their lunch break, he called them together and said,
"Training for today is over." A sigh of relief was heard from Sakura.
"However, in the weeks to come, you will be training harder than you ever thought possible and I'll be pushing you past your limits."
At this Sakura deflated, however both Naruto and Sasuke had a determined on their faces and when she looked at them she gained a small bit of confidence. Even if it wasn't much, at least it was there.
Kakashi looked at them once more then said
"That's all for today. Meet me tomorrow at the West gate at 8 am with all of your supplies for a two month training trip. Bring along any technique scrolls that you have as well as anything else that will help your training. That's all for now. Dismissed."
"Hai" they chorused
With that all four of them separated, each going their own way.
Naruto had finished packing by mid afternoon and was heading to the Ichiraku Ramen stand to inform Ayame and Old man Teuchi that he would be gone for two months with his team. While packing his scrolls and clothing for training, he had come across the scroll with the Kanji for two. He had decided to read it later that day since he had long since mastered the chakra control exercises as well as the a few other exercises.
As he made his way to the Ramen stand, he remembered the conversation he had with Hikari about their training trip, and he had received the shock of his life when he entered his mindscape. Standing behind the bars was not the Nine Tailed Kitsune that he was accustomed to, but a beautiful red haired beauty with a dark green kimono and sandals that showed of her perfect feet. She also had a collar around her neck marked 'Seal'. He remembered the moment vividly.
+Flashback+
"H-Hi-Hikari?" Naruto asked, stunned beyond words that the entity that was inside of him would be beautiful. His jaw dropped to the ground when he heard her speak.
"In the flesh Naruto" she replied. Seeing his surprised face, she chuckled lightly and said "No need to get a heart attack Naruto, this is my human form"
When he was finally able to gather his wits, he said "sougi, to think that the most destructive force on the planet is that beautiful."
At that comment Hikari just laughed then said, "Yeah, I'm amazing I know, but that's not why I called you here. That Cycloptic teacher of yours has finally pulled his act together. He will be training your body during the day, and every night during your sleep we'll be training your mind."
"But I thought we were already doing that with the shougi games" said Naruto.
"That," laughed Hikari, "is just a taste of what you can actually do. When you exercise your mind to the fullest, you won't even believe the things you will be able to accomplish. Now be sure to pack all of the remaining scrolls from your father. You will find some time to deal with them."
"Ok Hikari, anything else?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah, could you change the look of this place? With my Kitsune form its all nice and dandy but right now my Kimono's beginning to get soggy and I hate wet clothing. So could you do it?" asked Hikari
"If I can, besides, I think its about time I got my head out of the gutter, or the gutter out of my head" he said with a light laugh. "I'm guessing I just need to imagine the change right?"
He got a nod for this and after a brief moment of concentration, the mindscape began to change from a sewer to a lovely field with a two story house on the top of a slight incline. There was also a small lake and a few trees and even some birds.
Hikari stood shocked at the scenery and a moment later asked "where did you see this?"
"That was a place that I discovered a long time ago while running from the villagers on the outskirts of the village on my birthday. Till this day, it's one of the most beautiful sights that I've ever seen."
Hikari just stood and listened before a chair materialized behind her which she sat on.
"Arigatou Naruto," she said.
"No Problem Hikari, anytime"
After that statement, he phased out of his mindscape.
+Flashback End+
He smiled at the memory and blushed slightly remembering how she looked. Taking in his surroundings, he noticed that he was near the ramen stand. On entering, he greeted Ayame and Teuchi warmly before ordering a couple bowls of ramen.
After finishing his food, he called out to Ayame and told her about his training trip with his team. She smiled at him while saying that she was proud of him. He felt good to know that these two cared for him as one of their own. There had been many time in the past where the Ichiraku Ramen stand had served as his safe haven from angry people and drunkards who had wanted to beat him up. Boy was he thankful for the day they found him.
He spent some time catching up with her but sadly, she had to help her father so the parted company with her agreeing to tell her father of is departure.
After leaving the Ramen shop he debated whether to head to the Hokage tower or Tenten's Fathers' store. Checking his location, he decided to go to the weapon store where he met Tenten's Father Iroshi. He informed him of his trip and proceeded to ask if he knew where Tenten trained. He was informed that she was currently on a C ranked mission outside of the village so he left a note to her as well as one to Lee that she would take to him.
He then went through the store to stock up on some of his supplies, paid for them, then left with a wave to Iroshi.
With his next destination as the Hokage tower, he took to the roof tops and made good time getting there. On his way he decided to prank the Hokage so he entered through the window while shouting
"DUCK"
The Hokage who was giggling away with an orange book in hand turned around and fell into a ready stance, or what would have looked like one had he not had his Icha Icha Paradise book in one hand and a book marker in the other.
Naruto seeing the old Kage's reaction fell onto the floor laughing his butt off.
"You should have seen your face jiji, that was priceless. Ha ha ha. It's times like now I wish I carried a camera, ha ha ha," Laughed Naruto.
Sarutobi just shook his head while thinking 'I'm getting to old for this'. Before it could escalate any further he proceeded to speak to Naruto.
"So what are you here for Naruto?" 'Apart from ruining my fun' he added mentally.
"Well jiji, I just wanted to drop by to let you know of a training trip that Kakashi-sensei will be taking us on tomorrow, so I won't be around for awhile. But I'm sure you knew that." He said.
"Ah yes, the training trip that I approved for Team 7. I do know of it, but it's nice of you to drop by to let me know."
"Yeah, Kakashi-sensei says that he wants us to be really strong at the end of our training." Said the Blond boy.
"Really?" said the Sandaime with a twinkle in his eye, "If that's the case then I better start packing up my bags so that you can take my place."
"You got that right old man, I'll be sure to send you into retirement by the time I return, believe it!" joked Naruto with a grin that rivaled a foxes on his face.
The Sandaime smiled gently as he thought 'It's good to see that you are in high spirits Naruto-kun, now I know I did the right thing letting you keep that scroll from your father.'
"Of course Naruto. Now if you don't have any thing else to tell me, I've got the worst enemy of all Kage's to beat."
"What's that jiji?" asked Naruto.
"Paperwork" he replied.
Naruto sweat dropped at that and proceeded to say goodbye to the aged Hokage while telling him to inform Konohamaru of his trip.
As soon as Naruto exited the Hokage tower, he made his way towards his previous teachers' home. He had come to look at him as the big brother that he never had and loved spending time with him, especially if it involved Ramen.
When he got there, he was invited in by Iruka and began to recount his activities for the past days to him while Iruka made a few sandwiches. When he finished retelling what happened, Iruka looked at him and thought 'This is definitely not the same Naruto that was at the academy, some things changed but to some extent he's still the same. I think the best title would be the Number one most unpredictable ninja in Konoha.'
"Iruka-sensei, are you listening?" asked Naruto "You looked like you're lost in thought or something."
"I am listening Naruto, Now why don't….."
And so they continued talking for some time before Iruka informed Naruto that he should probably head home now, which he did.
Sakura had been packing her clothes while she thought of what their sensei told them. When she had told her parents who her sensei was after their test, they smiled at her and said that he was one of the best Ninja's in the village. 'Whatever' she had thought. But seeing him earlier today, she began to wonder if she had done him justice. He said that he would teach them the best he could. Did she really want that? After all, the only reason she became a kunoichi was to compete with Ino and to get Sasuke's attention. Did she really want to continue? Would Sasuke always be there to save her, or would he even try to?
These were some of the questions that were running through her mind at the moment. 'What can I do' she thought, 'I'm not even able to keep up with my teammates during simple exercises.'
At this, she hung her head low and her chest felt heavy. 'Am I really cut out to be a kunoichi?' she thought dejectedly. 'Maybe I should just quit'.
She tried to get some rest, but she just couldn't fall asleep. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't. After a few hours she got up and turned on her light then searched for some random book on her bookshelf. 'Might as well try reading' she thought.
The book that she ended up choosing was entitled 'Hokages Past and Present: The Will of Fire'
She became so engrossed in her reading that she hardly noticed the passage of time and by the time she was done, it was already 2 am. Startled, she quickly put it away and made her way to her bed and instantly fell asleep with a gentle smile, her last coherent thought being 'I finally found my reason for being a Kunoichi'.
All three genin members of Team seven were at the designated meeting point with five minutes to spare. At Eight o clock exactly, a 'poof' was heard signifying the arrival of their sensei. He greeted them which they returned and they headed out of the gates on to the outskirts of the village.
A 10 minute walk later, they reached a clearing in the forest that looked oddly placed. Kakashi quickly went through a set of seals and place his hands on the ground. Immediately, the clearing blurred out of existence and in its place stood a large three story house with a big training area to the right and left. The rest was obscured from view but they were sure it was as magnificent as the rest.
"Welcome to the Hatake Residence." said Kakashi with his most cordial tone, though there was a hint of playfulness in his voice.
"Ah the pleasure is all ours Kakashi-sensei" replied Naruto catching on.
All four of them shared a quick laugh before heading through the gate and to the front door. When they reached, Kakashi pulled out a key from his pocket and opened the door revealing the inside to his students. After telling them to choose any of the rooms on the second floor, they settled in and began unpacking their belongings. Kakashi decided to give them some free time so he informed them that they would be going over their schedule at lunch so they should get themselves familiar with the training ground around the house.
Lunch was ready at 1 pm, so all the members of team seven sat together around the table to eat but not before saying thanks.
While eating, Kakashi began to outline what their training schedule would be like for the first month.
5 am. Wake up
5:30 Morning exercises
7am Breakfast
7:30 Taijutsu, Speed, Stamina, Strength, weapon training
12pm Lunch
1pm Chakra Control
3pm Ninjutsu/ Genjutsu theory, practice and application
5pm rest
6pm Strategy
8pm Dinner
10pm Bed Time
"OK everyone" said Kakashi "How does that sound to you? As we move along we will be adjusting it to meet your needs."
"That's a lot of training sensei," said Sakura "but I'm sure we'll make it." She finished with a smile.
The two others nodded their heads indicating their approval then Sasuke asked
"What type of Taijutsu styles will we be training in?"
He wanted to know because he wanted to master his family Taijutsu style.
"If you have a particular style that you want to practice, you will be free to do so while I will be supervising each of you." He replied. "Now Sakura, I know that you do not have any particular style, so I took the liberty of choosing one for you. The Medic nin style of fighting will be the one you'll be using. Though I'm not very well versed in it, on our return to the village, you will be spending some time at the hospital to perfect it."
She nodded at this then Naruto spoke up.
"Sensei, I will be learning the Hummingbird style, what do you recommend."
While going through the second scroll that his father had left him, he found another scroll inside of it detailing that particular style which was the one his dad used.
Kakashi smiled at that. He had been expecting Naruto to choose that style so it didn't come as a surprise.
"We'll first have to work on increasing your speed by increasing your weights," he said "Then we'll work on your accuracy".
Naruto Smiled and nodded. When they finished eating, Kakashi stood up and said,
"Now's training time!"
Training continued as expected for the first month, doing exercises as well as furthering what they already knew. At the end of the month, Naruto's weights were now up to 700 pounds taking 30 percent of his total Chakra Capacity. Many days, after training, he would be exhausted from all of the training that he put himself through. Even Kakashi thought that he was pushing his limits too far so he asked him to take it easy. At the end of the first month, the end justified the means to him as all of his abilities skyrocketed.
He had been training in the Taijutsu style of his father practicing different katas and had already memorized all of them. Even if he memorized them, he still had a long way to go before mastering that particular style though he was on the right path. He was sure that he could take on all of the genin in his graduating class without a problem in Taijutsu and probably some low Chuunin level ninjas with most of his weights on. I he removed his weights, he could go toe-to-toe with Kakashi at 50 percent of his full power in a Taijutsu spar for some time, but Kakashi's experience gave him the upper hand, although he still had weights on.
In his Ninjutsu training, he progressed at an alarming rate. Everything that Kakashi threw at them, he learned and attempted to master. They had begun with non-elemental Ninjutsu such as the Shunshin for the first month. After playing around with it for a while, Naruto asked Kakashi if elemental versions of the Shunshin could be created. He responded in the positive, so he set to work on creating one in his spare time and ended up with two different versions that he taught his teacher, the Fuuton Shunshin and the Katon Shunshin. He had taught the Katon to his other teammates as well as the Shuriken Kage Bunshin and Kunai Kage Bunshin. He had also managed to learn the Bunshin Bakuha with the help of his Sensei.
Genjutsu was arguable his worst area. At present he lacked the control necessary to perform any Genjutsu over C rank. He could also easily recognize and dispel them. One of the highlights of his Genjutsu training was when his sensei asked him to create a Bunshin. It came out the same as his academy days. He quickly dispelled it and tried again, this time using as little chakra as he could but thinking of over 100 clones. The result was spectacular. Covering the entire clearing were Bunshins of Naruto. He had finally mastered his worst jutsu. He also had the mental training that Hikari had promised him.
Sakura and Sasuke's training had been going on very well. They had each been practicing their respective Taijutsu styles under Kakashi's watchful eye and became very proficient at them. They had also been training in the same Ninjutsu's as Naruto as well as Genjutsu and weapon training. Of the two, Sakura had been the one to improve the most. Sasuke had bee angry at her progress at the beginning because he wasn't improving at such a rate but when Kakashi explained the reason for her growth, he cooled down.
During their training, one would have thought that Kakashi would have been off reading his books but he was actually with them completing the exercises, albeit with more restrictions. He also improved during their time together, getting back in the shape he was during his ANBU years was his goal at the end of the two months.
Overall they had become a much better team. Sakura was their Medic/ Genjutsu/ Support, while Sasuke covered Taijutsu/ Genjutsu/ Ninjutsu. Naruto on the other had was the powerhouse of the team and because of his massive chakra capacity, which according to Kakashi was more than his ran Ninjutsu/ Taijutsu.
Not only were their fighting and teamwork skills better, but their interpersonal and social skills had improved, especially Sasuke's. No longer would he just sit and brood by himself but would actually have conversations with his teammates. To Kakashi however, their greatest achievement was helping Sakura out of her fan girl stage. It had been difficult, but in the end it was worth it. They were on their way to becoming one of the best genin teams in Konoha.
As the second month of their training began, Kakashi called them all together to have a meeting.
"Ok guys, the first month of your training has been completed and I have to say that I am very proud of the progress that you have made. You have far exceeded my expectations. As a result, we will be moving on to more advanced forms of training." Said Kakashi with a smile on his face. He was in fact extremely proud of his students and had been skeptical about isolating them from the village to train but in the end decided to go for it. Now he was seeing the results and was happy for them
Each of the genin standing before him had smiles on their faces. Yes, even the ever smirking Sasuke Uchiha had a real smile. They had worked hard and were reaping the benefits.
"Now, the second month of training will focus on mastering what you already have at your disposal as well as adding some new stuff to what you know. Your schedules will also be changed a bit by reducing the amount of time spent on chakra control and increasing your Nin, Gen and Taijutsu training. We will also be working on chakra sensing and suppression. Any thing else that you would like to include?"
"What about my Fuuinjutsu training Kakashi Sensei?" asked Naruto
"That you will have to work on in your free time Naruto. If you have any difficulties with it, you should seek me out. If that's all, we'll begin our training tomorrow. By the way, you have the day off."
With that, he left them to their own devices for the rest of the day.
The month passed quickly for team seven. They made progress in all of their Shinobi skills. Sakura and Sasuke had taken to wearing weights to improve their speed while Naruto had continued to increase his weights and was now at 1200 pounds total taking 43 percent of his steadily increasing chakra capacity. He had continued to modify the Shunshin no jutsu and finally completed them. He now had one for each element; Fuuton, Katon, Raiton, Doton and Suiton. His teammates couldn't believe how quickly he had taken to modifying the Shunshin no Jutsu. Kakashi thought to himself that there was only one more person who had managed to do what Naruto did, and incidentally it was his Father. It seemed that Naruto really was out to surpass him.
Kakashi had continued to teach his team different Ninjutsu's after finding out their elemental affinity. He vividly remembered giving them the test.
+Flashback+
"Guys," he began, "I have decided to give each of you something because of your performances so far in training. In my hands are a few strips of paper. When chakra is added, it will determine what your elemental affinity is. Each of you will be given one of these."
With that, he handed one to each of them and demonstrated by pouring chakra into the card. It instantly split in two, one side crinkled while the other caught fire. All three of the genin stared wide eyed at what they saw.
"As you can see, I have two chakra affinities; Lightening and Fire. If you have lightening it will crinkle, fire it will burn, water it will get soggy, earth it will crumble and wind it will split. Now you go Sakura."
"Hai" she replied while pushing chakra into the paper. It instantly became soggy indicating that she had an affinity for water.
Sasuke went next. Half of his card crinkled and the other caught fire, the same as Kakashi.
Naruto was next. He pushed Chakra into the card and at the end Kakashi stood wide eyed. He had never seen something like this happen before. It had to be some mistake. In Naruto's hand, the card split in five different pieces, one crinkled, one burned, one got soggy, one crumble and the last shredded into many different pieces.
"Amazing" said Naruto wide eyed at what just happened. Kakashi on the other would have had to pick his jaw off the ground if not for his face mask. To ensure the accuracy, he asked Naruto to do the test again and the same results were seen.
"Hmm, I just I'm just that awesome" said Naruto while striking a pose effectively causing the others to laugh at his antics.
+Flashback End+
They had been flabbergasted at this but had continued to train in new techniques that their sensei taught them. They all had at least three offensive and three defensive Ninjutsu's at their disposal.
All in all, their training had been a huge success; Sasuke had even managed to activate his Sharingan during one of their three way spars. After a talk with Kakashi, he had vowed to never copy one of his comrades' techniques and had been learning his techniques without its aid. They were all very proud of their accomplishments and currently on their way back to the village. Suddenly Naruto spoke up and said
"How about we get there faster?"
"You know Naruto" said Sasuke, "That's not such a bad idea."
With that they nodded to each other and Shunshined out of the area.
Inside of the Hokage Tower, the Sarutobi was doing some paperwork and was cursing his successor turned predecessor for leaving him to do it. Suddenly he felt four chakra signatures approaching and turned from his work.
A moment later, a wall of flame appeared in the room from about seven feet from the ground. When it touched the floor, it reversed directions and went back up extinguishing itself. There stood Team seven armed and ready for combat.
"Team Seven reporting back from Training Hokage-sama."
That's it.
How was the ending?
