This chapter will be the training portion and I might add the first part of the Chunin exams I don't know so let's start with the show
The next morning the village of Waves woke up to bandits leaving the village and to the boats. "What's going on?" Naruko asked rubbing her eyes, "We're about to find out," Kushina answered. Walking out they went to the beach followed by Inari and his family. "You'll pay for killing our meal ticket," a bandit yelled and when the mist clear the people of Wave cheered when they saw Gato hanging from a cross.
"If you want us come and get us," Natsumi voiced from the deck of her ship, "Charge," a bandit yelled and as the bandit ships the barrels turned to the bandit ships and with a snap of Natsumi's fingers, they all heard a boom as missiles burst from the barrels and the back of the ships as well as from the water as they all stormed to the boats. "This is why you don't mess with Twilight," Rinoa voiced from the beach as they all saw the ships containing the bandits blew up as the screams were heard over the explosions.
"And that's a wrap," Mira said as the genin of Team 20 appeared on the beach. "Man thank god we're on the same side," Zabuza commented as he and a black haired female walked over, "Zabuza here's the one-third of the total amount," Zhalia told him handing over the briefcase, "It should be enough for the recovery." Opening the case, Zabuza and the companion were shocked, "And this is one-third of the total amount?" he asked receiving a nod, "See you later and thanks," the swordsman waved as the pair disappeared.
"So I take it that the mission was a success?" Asuma asked, "Yup the island was surprisingly well guarded but it was nothing for us," Mira smirked. "Yeah but you still have blood on you," Inari pointed out, "Yeah we're going to take a shower later," Gourai answered, "But we need to wait for the supplies and medicine to arrive," Natsumi said confusing them. "Supplies and medicine?" Tsunami asked, "Yeah we sent word to Twilight to come to Wave with food and medicine for the people of Wave as well as builders to help complete the bridge or help rebuild your homes," Rinoa said as the people smiled. "Thank you," Tazuna bowed, "And here come the supply ships now," Gourai announced and when the ships docked on the shore of the beach multiple ninjas of both male and female rushed.
"Tazuna-sama how do you wish to proceed with the completion of the bridge?" a worker asked. "If you're ready we can start now," Tazuna said receiving nods, "Then let's get to work." Standing there was the teams from the Leaf, "Wow these Twilight guys work quick," Shikamaru whistled, "Yeah we would have just left them to recover themselves," Ino commented. "So what now these Twilight guys got it covered?" Choji questioned, "Hey Inari," Natsumi shouted out catching his attention, "You still want to see what's underneath the waves?" she asked. "Yeah can we go now?" he asked, "Common aboard and we can start our tour," Zhalia told him making him run up the stairs, "Here's the command center," Mira told him finishing the tour.
"If you can take your places we can begin the dive," Takao voiced appearing in the middle of the room. "Common Inari you get to sit with me in the captain's seat," Natsumi told him settling Inari in her lap, "All systems are good," Gourai announced, "Then dive," Natsumi instructed as Inari smiled when he saw the sub go under water, "Wow this is great," he cheered as fishes of all kind swam past the monitor. "And there are the remains of the bandit ships," Zhalia observed, "Zhalia don't scare Inari like that," Mira told her.
After another hour under the sea, it was time for them to return to shore. "So Inari how was the trip?" Tsunami questioned, "It was a blast," Inari cheered, "Oh sensei have you given Tazuna the contract?" Mira asked. "Contract?" the man in question asked, "Yeah we got Gato to sign a contract giving all of his company to Wave," Rinoa told him, "And here's said contract," she added handing him the contract. "This will quicken the recovery of Wave even further," he cheered, "How much longer till the completion of the bridge?" Gourai asked, "With the help, you got from Twilight it should be done in a week," the bridge builder responded, "And when it's done we'll work out a contract for the alliance between Wave and Twilight," he added.
"We'll leave a patrol fleet to guard Wave," Rinoa clarified.
After the week passed Team 20 of Twilight stood on the beach with Natsumi's fleet behind her. "Thank you once more for helping this village," Tazuna bowed along with his family, "Nah no need to worry we did it because we wanted to," Rinoa waved. "Are you ever going to return Natsumi-nee?" Inari asked hugging her and from the distance, Naruko and Hinoka frowned wishing that they were in Inar's place. "Don't worry if we're in the area we'll stop by for a visit," Natsumi said bending a knee to be eye level with her little brother, "Promise?" he asked, "Promise," Natsumi said in return.
"Before you leave," Tazuna began, "We would like to show you something," he said taking them to the finished bridge and with a nod, the people pulled off the tarp to reveal Team 20 in their battle ready stances. "I was wondering why you wanted a picture of my genin team," Rinoa commented, "Yes and do you wish to name this complete bridge?" he asked. Turning to her students Rinoa asked, "So what do you think?" and after thinking it over Natsumi spoke up, "This bridge shall be forever known as the Road to Dawn."
Thinking it over Tazuna addressed, "Road to Dawn I like it," and turning to the people he cried out, "This bridge shall be known as Road to Dawn for the incredible people who helped us follow the path to a new day and for giving us a new hope." With those words spoken the people cheered as with the Leaf ninjas, Sasuke was being more emoish than normal as Asuma smiled and when it comes to the Uzumaki Namikaze family they each shed a tear. "Common team lets go home," Rinoa declared and one by one each member jumped from the beach to Kirishima.
"Great work on the mission in Wave," Xemnas expressed, "Thank you," Team 20 bowed.
"Now while on your way back considering that you took the long way we were given an invitation to the Chunin exam in the Leaf village that begins in a month," Xemnas told them. "Are we the only ones going to the exams?" Mira questioned, "The rest of Natsumi's group of friends," the leader of Twilight clarified, "So that's three to four other teams," Gourai commented.
"What other village is coming?" Zhalia asked, "All known village are entering the Chunin exams in Konoha," Xemnas answered. "So I don't know about you but I can for a training session," Natsumi voiced, "But do we have enough missions to take the exams?" Mira asked. "Actually you do have enough so train to your heart's content," Xemnas told them then added, "I already told the other teams."
"Kaa-san tou-san I'm home," Natsumi called out, "Natsumi-sama," Yume and Ikki called out. "Hey sorry I couldn't take you along with me on this mission," Natsumi told them," "No need to worry about that," Yume waved. "I heard you're entering the Chunin exams," Cloud told her, "So that means it's time to learn my greatest sword attack," he said shocking Natsumi, "You're willing to tell me that you're willing to teach me the Omnislash?" she asked then smiled when he nodded. "And you'll learn more of my hand to hand style as well," Tifa voiced, "Then what are we waiting for, time for a month training session," their daughter cheered. "You'll also be training with us as well," Larxene commented from the doorway making her pale, "I'm probably going to need my own room in the hospital," Natsumi commented, "Nah we'll be pushing the healing factor to its limit and past it," Iris Heart told her.
"And your training starts now," Karasuba announced as the group of women dragged her out the room.
As the week passed, Natsumi was driven through the grinder multiple times. "Common Natsumi you've gone farther than I ever had when training in the Omnislash," Cloud commented to the panting female. "No I feel like I'm so close to completing this move," Natsumi said as she charged chakra one last time, and when it was at its peak the young Strife jumped forward, "Omnislash," she cried out perfecting the move. "I finally did it," she whispered before fainting but Cloud stopped her before she hit the ground. The next day Natsumi was training in hand to hand combat with her mother, "You're getting better in my fighting style," Tifa told her daughter, "Yeah well I'm just getting started," said daughter grinned charging in making Tifa think she was going for a combo but was a bit surprised when Natsumi jumped over before doing a back kick sending Tifa back quite a bit.
The next week in her month of training is the jutsu section, "Ice Style: Icicle Punch," Natsumi called out encasing her hand in ice then punched the ground causing ice spikes to pop up from the ground. "Light Style: Wings of Light," bursting from her back were wings made of light, "Wind Style: Wind shot," while in the sky she posed her hands in a gun position then released wind bullets. "Water Style: Water Shark Bomb," pulling water from the atmosphere she morphed them into a shark then sent it crashing into the ground, "Dark Style: Fox Hunt," she called out as darkness formed into a pack of foxes as they all charged forth at the dummy. "Dark Water Style: Dark Dragon," combining both her dark and water elements the jutsu has a bit shaky, "Impressive work," Yen Sid complimented as he watched her, "Thank you but my combinations with my other elements are still shaky," Natsumi admitted. "Still is an impressive job," Yen Sid commented.
The third week of training was with the Sadistic Trio, "Don't lose focus now short stuff," Larxene yelled throwing some electrically charged kunias. Twirling her naginata, Natsumi deflected the knives before jumping over a sword thrust then sidestepped a vertical slash countering with a slash before twirling to the staff portion thrusting it when the blade was reflected. Sensing something behind her she ducked switching her weapons to her tonfa blasters doing an X block then sending a kick making her opponent slide back. "Time," Iris Heart called out making Natsumi fall to the ground exhausted, "I know I asked for this but can't you lighten the training a bit?" she asked in between pants, "Oh are you saying you want triple the hours training with us?" Karasuba asked with an eyebrow raised. "No I'm good," Natsumi waved paling at the thought.
The fourth week was going through the thinks the team got from Gato's mansion, "The hell how did a bastard like him get the Dragon and the Jaguar summoning contract?" Natsumi asked holding them both up. "I thought they were a myth?" Gourai asked, "Well I found the White Tiger contract and the Mountain Lion contract," Mira spoke up, "And here's the Chameleon contract," Zhalia announced. "Oh and here's the Phoenix contract," Gourai said, "Let's just summon one and we'll see about the rest," Rinoa told them receiving nods.
Biting their thumb, the girls went through the hand seals, "Summoning Jutsu," they cried out and in a puff of smoke a pure black dragon, white tiger, green chameleon, and a phoenix appeared. "Who summoned us?' the black dragon roared, "We did," Natsumi answered as each animal looked down to see who summoned them, "Tell us, girl, where did you get our contracts?" the White Tiger questioned, "We found them in a business man's safe after we killed him and freed the village he was draining dry," Mira spoke up, "And the one who summoned the black dragon and I found the Jaguar and Mountain Lion contracts. We were wondering if we can have more than one contract?" she asked.
"Summon them and we'll talk about it," the pure black dragon instructed, "Summoning Jutsu," Mira and Natsumi called out as a pure black jaguar and a brown mountain lion appeared. "I take that you were the ones that summoned us?" the jaguar questioned, "Hai," the girls answered, "And considering that there are other summoning animals you want to form an alliance?" the mountain lion questioned making them confused, "We were going to ask if we can have more than one contract I wasn't aware we could form an alliance," Mira said. "The alliance can be formed between the summoning animals," the chameleon explained.
"I don't know about you but I'm all for this alliance," the jaguar commented, "Yes even I have to agree that this will help us and in turn help our summoners," the dragon added. "And what about you because I agree," the chameleon asked the other summons, "Sure this could be beneficial for all of us," the phoenix answered for herself and the other summons who nodded.
"Alright then now we need you to sign each of our contract starting with the one you first summoned in your blood," the dragon instructed. "Can we have others sign the contracts?" Zhalia asked, "Only if you trust them," the Chameleon answered. The next day was training with the summons and thanks to the shadow clones the girls quickly got the hang of each fighting style of the different summoning animals.
The last week was just relaxing from all the training Natsumi's been through, "Time to visit the fleet," Natsumi voiced. "Hey, captain how the training?" Takao questioned upon seeing her captain, "It's well but I'm here just to relax with my fleet," she smiled, "Good I was wondering if you 've forgotten about us?" Kongou voiced. "I would never do that to any of you," Natsumi firmly told each one of them, "I've just been busy with training and I won't be able to spend time with you on the fact that my next mission will be in land with the Chunin exams are coming and Lord Xemnas wants us to compete," she explained. "That's good," Kirishima said, "Now like you said you're here to relax so let's do it," Sakura said pushing Natsumi into the water.
Standing at the entrance of the village were the citizens cheering, "Show the other villages the power of Twilight," was heard from the crowd.
"Alright I want you all to stay close," Xemnas began, "With Natsumi back on their turf they're going to do everything they can to have Natsumi back," he told them. "Don't worry we're not going to let that happen," Ventas said as the others nodded, "Yeah we won't abandon one of our own no matter what," Asuna voiced. "And if they want a fight we'll give them one," Kirito firmly voiced as well receiving nods, "Good now move out," Xemnas ordered.
"Summoning Jutsu," Team 20 cried out as four puffs of smoke appeared. "What do you need girls," a deep voice asked as a crimson and white dragon appeared along with a gold and red phoenix. "We need a ride to the Leaf village and what better way than with the greatest summoning animals of all time," Natsumi smirked, "So, in other words, show to the world that the dragon and phoenix summoning clans have returned," Zhalia commented. Hearing these words caused the animals to grin, "Yes it's time for us to show that we are stronger than those pathetic toads," the crimson dragon roared.
"Alright every one-half of us will take a ride on Albion and Ddraig while the others take Moeru kibō (Flaming Hope) and Yoru no honō (Night Flame)," Rinoa instructed. When everyone was on their chosen transportation all four took off, and thanks to their speed the group was at Konoha in two hours, "Time to get their attention," Albion grinned as the dragons roared and the phoenix shrilled upon landing. "The dragon and phoenix summoning clans have returned," Ddraig roared, "And we're allied to the Twilight village," Moeru kibō shrilled hopping off the animals the Axel walked over to the front deck. "Twilight Teams 15 through 20 here for the Chunin exam," the dancing flames reported, "Of course," the man with tape over his nose said, "We just need to get names," he told them and one by one each member gave their names. "Natsumi Strife of Team 20." She said going last making both of them pause, "Natsumi is that you?" the man's partner asked, "We heard from Asuma that your part of a different village," he said, "Yeah it's me," she smiled remembering the two from when she was still part of the place.
Turning to the summoning animals Mira waved them off, "You guys can go back I think you made your point," she told them seeing the crowd of people in awe and fright pointing at them. "Got it we'll see you later," Ddraig told them vanishing, "Now where are we going to sleep?" Zack questioned. "Twilight teams are welcomed to stay in the Sarutobi Clancompound," a familiar voice to Natsumi said from the crowd, "Jiji," Natsumi cried hugging the man when he stopped in front of the group, "I see that you have grown into a beautiful young lady," he smiled hugging her back.
"On behalf of Twilight, we thank you," Rinoa told him, "No need," he motioned, "It gives me time to catch up with my granddaughter," he smiled beckoning for them to follow.
"So how's Konoha ever since I ran?" Natsumi asked as people pointed and whispered. "I can only speak for myself that it was dull without you in the village," Hiruzen answered, "But for the Uzumaki Namikaze family they were devastated when they realized that they drove you away," he told her. And speak of the devil and it shall appear for in front of the group was said family along with two other people, "What do you want?" Mira asked as each member of Twilight drew their weapons, and at the sight of the weapons, people started running. "Natsumi we beg you to come home," Minato told her, "We're sorry for neglecting you," Kushina cried, "We want to make it right so please come back."
"I won't abandon the bonds I made in Twilight," Natsumi said, "While it is true blood is thicker than water there is more to blood than family blood can also be the bond created between people and the bond I have forged in Twilight is one I will never abandon," she told them making them cry. "Sensei can't you say anything to her?" the blonde haired female asked, "No this is something that is between Natsumi and her former family," Hiruzen said. "Former family?" the white haired man inquired, "Yes upon entering Twilight I was blood adopted by Cloud Strife and Tifa Strife," Natsumi told them.
"Come we aren't that far from my clan compound," Hiruzen told the Twilight group. Walking passed the distressed family, Natsumi whispered, "Sorry it had to be this way but remember that it was you who made the first move," hearing the words caused Kushina to cry once more.
"Man I missed the place," the former Uzumaki voiced upon seeing the clan compound, "Your room is still the way we left it," Asuma said stepping out of the house to greet them. "Uncle who are they?" a young boy asked, "They're here for the Chunin Exams and will be staying here for the time being," Asuma told him, "So no funny business around them got it Konohamaru," Hiruzen said to him. "Got it jiji," he waved before leaving.
"When does the exam start?" Sora asked, "It begins in a week," Asuma answered, "This way it gives genin from other villages a chance to come and rest," he added.
"Well with the pervert here the Hot Springs isn't an option," Larxene voiced getting nods of agreement. "Well I'm up for exploring the village," Mira spoke up, "Do you want to go Natsumi?" Sinon asked, "Nah I'm going to stay here already being in the village is already bringing me some bad memories," Natsumi answered. "You guys go on ahead I'm going to keep her company," Sinon told them then sat next to her girlfriend, "Why didn't you go with them?" Natsumi asked, "Do you really think I would leave when my girlfriend is depressed then you have another thing coming," Sinon told her.
