~Kairi's P.O.V~

~In A Training Field ~

I grinned at her then, took off with the wind a moment later. Leaving Lady Tsuande to just stand there and stare at me.

/Hmm. She's gotten better but, still that's not good enough./ Tsuande thought to herself, as she jumped out of the trees and onto the ground, waiting on me. "You know, your not going to get very far in the Forest of Death if you just run and hide Kairi!" She yelled out to me, her eyes scanned the area, searching for me or any sign of me.

"Summoning Jutsu! Five Fanged Wolf!" I shouted out, as I reappeared a few feet across from her, a wolf appearing by my side a moment later.

Tsuande grinned. /So, like father, like daughter. Kakashi you sly dog. Teaching your daughter to summon him./ She thought to herself, biting her thumb, she made the hand signs for a summoning jutsu as well. "Summoning Justu! The Great Old Slug!" She shouted out as well, as a slug appeared next to her.

"Hi boss long time no see. You only summon me when something's up so-," my cut himself off as he stared at Lady Tsuande and her slug. "Hello you two, long time no see either." He said to Lady Tsuande and her slug.

"Hello Kinata. Nice to see you again." Lady Tsuande said to my wolf, a smile gracing her lips as she gave him a smile.

"Let's skip the introductions for now. Some of us don't have all damn day Lady Tsuande." The slug said to her, bitterness was laced in his voice as he spoke to everyone.

Letting out a sigh, I thought to myself. /Still the same old slug as always Jinn. Still bitter even after all those years. I should've summoned Rin, at least he's not touchy about what happened all those years ago./

"Let's go Kinata!" I shouted out to him.

"K boss." Was all he , as he took his fighting stance and the battle began...

~A Few Hours Later~

Wiping the blood off of her forehead, Tsuande smiled at me. I won the match fair and square. I officially released to start training again. "Good job Kairi." She said to me, as she watched me hug my parents, my sensei and Ibiki, who were watching the match from a short distance away from here.

Coming over to Tsuande, I lifted my hand up and held it out to her. "Good job Lady Tsuande, I didn't think I would win." I said to her, as she grabbed my arm and pulled me down in her lap, smiling.

Giving me a kiss on the cheek, she wrapped her arms around my waist. "Your not escaping me this time, not without kisses your not!" She said to me, grinning afterwards.

Letting out a shriek, I tried to escape her hold on me but, nothing was working. "Lady Tsuande, let me go! Mommy and daddy help me!" I shouted out to them.

Both my parents were laughing along with my sensei and Ibiki. "Sorry Kairi." They said to me in between laughs.

"I told you, you weren't leaving without my kisses." She said to me, fake crackling afterwards.

Looking at her, I pouted at her. "But, I'm hungry! I haven't had anything to eat since breakfast!" I whined out to her, as I squirmed over and over out of her arms but, it wasn't working very well.

Everyone rolled their eyes at my whining. "Sorry Kairi, you should've eaten lunch." She said to me laughing and smiling afterwards.

I let out a groan. I was never going to escape from my godmother's iron grip. "Please let me go! I want dinner now!" I whined out again.

"Your sounding like Choji Kairi." Asuma said to me, as he lit a cigarette.

I sighed out twenty minutes later. "I give up." I finally said out loud to everyone.

"About time. Lady Tsuande has a way of making even the strongest ninja give up." Kakashi said, as he passed around a bag of chips to everyone, mocking me with food.

Staring at everyone, I glared at them. "I hate you guys! Standing there eating oin front of me when I'm friggin' starving!" I shouted out to them.

"Relax Kairi, were going to feed you. We were making bets on who would win the match between you and Lady Tsuande." Asuma said from behind Lady Tsuande and I.

"So who lost the bet?" Tsuande asked everyone, as she let go of me and watched me run away to my parents, who hugged me tightly afterwards.

"I did." Asuma said a few minutes later, adding afterwards. "Guess I lucked out this time. Well, come on let's go eat. My treat." He added to everyone.

We all headed out of the training field. Laughing, without a care in the world.

Tsuande laid a hand on Ibiki's shoulder. /We were begin watched by the enemy./ She said to him telepathically a moment later.

Ibiki didn't even stare at Lady Tsuande. /I'm on it, I'll send out Hayate and Gemma. Tell Kairi I'm sorry I couldn't make it to dinner. I'll make it up to her, later./ Then, Ibiki disappeared into the wind.

Tsuande put on a fake smile and joined the others. /Next time Orochimaru, don't send out a lackey to do your dirty work, especially Kabuto./ She thought to herself.

Kabuto smiled from the shadows of the trees. /Everything's in order for the next phase of the plan Lord Orochimaru./ Kabuto thought to himself, as he disappeared back into the hole that he crawled out of...
