Ahri woke up to the smell of bacon and pancakes and managed to navigate her way through the unfamiliar house to the smell. There she found Naruto cooking. She seemed to not know what she was doing as she read from a book.
"Ohayo Gozaimasu Ahri-chan." Naruto said with a smile as she looked over.
"This is a big house." Ahri said.
"Mhm, Some of my friends and family are going to be living with us soon, you know some of them. Now, come over here and have some breakfast. I've spent the last hour trying to get it edible." Naruto said. Ahri giggled and sat at the table. Once she tasted the pancakes and bacon she dug in.
"I'd hate to bring it up and ruin a good mood, but how are you feeling after yesterday?" Naruto asked.
"I know she's still alive in the demon realm and she promised we'd see each other again and she never breaks a promise." Ahri said softly.
"I think I would have liked her had she lived in Konoha. I have training to go to today, if you want I can bring you and maybe teach you some things." Naruto said as she started eating as well.
"Naruto-chan, are you adopting me?" Ahri suddenly asked. Naruto smiled.
"I'm only thirteen Ahri-chan, so I can't legally be your mom. My mom though, Anko, she's going to adopt you so we'll be sisters." Naruto replied.
"Well you remind me of my mom so to me that's what you'll be." Ahri said with a smile.
"Oh man, the looks we'd get in public. People would believe that too. It's a good thing I don't care what they think of me. So do you want to come with me to train or am I going to have to find somebody to take care of you for today?" Naruto asked.
"I'll come with you." Ahri started. "I wanna learn how to do that foxfire." She continued.
"You have your first tail so that shouldn't be too hard." Naruto said, looking at the clock.
"Um, by the way... Those doctors are wrong. I'm not really seven. I'm Thirteen. Mom always said I look younger than I am." Ahri said.
"... That was totally unexpected. Actually that might be good, I could talk to Ojisan and get him to make you a ninja. Did your mom teach you anything?" naruto asked.
"She taught me something she called Genin Level jutsu, I can use Henge and make clones." Ahri listed off.
"Well that's perfect! Did she ever teach you how to use a sword?" Naruto asked.
"A little bit but I'm not very good at it. She taught me how to make things out of fire, but I could never make it. That's why I want you to teach me." Ahri answered.
"You got yourself a deal." Naruto said.
"Who's this?" Kurenai when Naruto met the others for training.
"The newest member of the Mitarashi family, I had a feeling you'd bring her here." Anko said.
"I need to help her out with some Foxfire training so why don't you tell the story." Naruto started. "Oh, and also she's only a few weeks younger than we are, she just looks like she's seven." She continued.
"... Alright i guess? Anyways, we had this mission yesterday..." Anko started.
"Alright Ahri-chan, let's see what you can do." Naruto said. The girl nodded and concentrated. After a few moments her hands started glowing with blue foxfire. She kept it going for a few seconds before it sputtered out.
"I see what you're doing wrong. You're a Hanyou, aren't you?" Naruto asked. Ahri nodded. "I thought so, you're using normal Chakra that humans use. We have this too, but foxfire comes from our demon chakra. Have you used your demon chakra before?" Naruto asked.
"Oh, I always thought since it's blue it uses the blue Chakra, not the other one." Ahri said.
"Try again, if you use your demon chakra it should be much easier. I'm impressed though, you sustained it for five seconds with normal chakra. You have very high reserves." Naruto said. Ahri smiled and concentrated again. She yelped as a much larger ball sprung to her hands instantly.
"Wow! That's so much easier." Ahri said. She grinned as the ball lengthened and became a longbow.
"Normally I can only sustain the foxfire long enough to shoot one arrow, but I feel like I could do this all day." Ahri said as she looked towards the training post and let loose a foxfire arrow.
"Whoa, that's really cool!" Kiba exclaimed, Anko having just finished the tale.
"That is a lot cooler than what I'm going to be teaching you all how to do." Anko said.
"And what exactly is that?" Naruto asked.
"Kenjutsu, the art of using jutsu through a blade, or in our case any weapon." Anko said.
"Hey maybe I could lace my claws with foxfire, or even any normal blade." Naruto said.
"Not going to lie, but I wish I was a Kitsune if that worked... A giant flaming Bureka(Breaker,being the name of Sakura's weapon) would be awesome as hell." Sakura said.
"Fire jutsu would work with that." Sasuke said.
"Oh yeah. Let's get started!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Alright, everyone can lace their weapons with Chakra, right?" Anko asked. They all nodded. "Right, Kurenai is handing out chakra paper. Depending on what happens to them when you run Chakra through them this will tell us your Chakra Affinity. You can do jutsu of any Chakra element, but the ones you are stronger in will obviously be easier." Anko said.
Shino's split in half and crumbled to dust. Kiba's got soggy and crumbled into dust. Sasuke's crumbled up and burst into flames. Sakura's crumbled to dust and burst into flames. Hinata's split in half and got soggy. Ahri's crumbled up and burst into flame. Naruto's split in half, one side crumbled up and turned to dust while the other got soggy before bursting into flame.
"Well, it appears miss badass has a generalized affinity, that might be because of your mother." Anko said.
"Why does this not surprise me? Naruto asked.
"Because the last time you were completely surprised was when Hinata kissed you back when we first started at the academy." Sasuke said.
"Oh yeah, now I remember. If I get surprised by something you'll never let me live it down." Naruto said.
"That's what I'm here for." Sasuke said.
"Alright, Shino, you've got dominant earth affinity with a secondary wind. Kiba, you've got the same dominant but secondary water. Sasuke you've got dominant fire and secondary lightning. Sakura's got the same dominant with secondary earth. Hinata, you've got dominant wind and secondary water. Ahri's got dominant fire and secondary lightning. Naruto's got a clusterfuck." Anko said.
"Just get on with the lesson." Kurenai sighed.
"Right, right. Now, Focus on either of your affinity elements as you mold your Chakra around your weapon. We're going for a form manipulation here, it's normally pretty damn hard but I think you'll get it." Anko instructed. Pretty soon Ahri and Naruto were fencing with foxfire Katana while Sasuke was using what little electricity he could get to go through his blade to zap the two as they fought, turning the blue infernos on him.
Shino was able to get his Kama to slice trees and rocks with ease by coating his blade in wind Chakra, though he couldn't do it for long due to his Chakra levels being low because of his Kikai bugs. Sasuke finally managed to get enough Lightning in his blade to successfully defend against the two girls after him. Sakura managed to achieve her idea of a flaming Bureka that would blast out waves of flame whenever she hit something.
Instead of using wind Chakra to enhance her strikes, Hinata had instead used it to give her Jyuuken a bit of range. She had managed to keep it at maximum effectiveness at three feet away before it's power dropped. She had also unknowingly stumbled upon her family's air palm technique.
Kiba, with the help of an earth enforced Kodachi, was soon able to use his Gatsuuga effectively underground instead of blindly drilling with the tunneling fang.
"Wow, that took a lot less time than I expected." Anko said.
"Well you did make them go through that hell the other day. These guys are the strongest of their class. Now, I've heard Ahri call Naruto mom instead of you. I thought you adopted her." Kurenai said.
"Apparently that's what the kid wants to call Naruto. It makes sense, you should have seen how Naruto was acting with her yesterday. If that wasn't motherly I don't know what is." Anko said.
"If that's the case I'm interested to see how she would fare if she was ever with child." Kurenai said.
"She'd make an amazing mom, and I don't see her willingly be with child. Last time I saw something as close as her and Hinata was with Minato and Kurama." Anko said.
"Oh I know, it's just a thought." Kurenai said as they watched Naruto and Ahri shoot little fireballs at sasuke, singing him in return for the shocks he gave them earlier.
"Our next mission will be a real one, I'm glad they're having fun." Anko said.
"Yeah, I heard that you and a few other people are moving in with Naruto at the Yondaime's Mansion." Kurenai said.
"Oh you overheard Naruto and Sasuke talking about that? Yeah, she promised Ahri a big house." Anko said.
"It seems fitting, I have no doubts about her becoming Hokage one day, might as well live like one." Kurenai said with a smile.
"You know Yuuhi, you're pretty cool. You don't quite have enough under your belt for me to call you awesome, but you're up there." Anko said.
"Well that's a surprise coming from you. What do I need to do, wrestle a demon with my bare hands?" Kurenai asked.
"... Where did that come from?... Wait, did you...?" Anko started.
"I lost a bet and had to Challenge a three tailed Kitsune to a fight a while ago." Kurenai deadpanned.
"Did you win?" Anko asked.
"Of course not, do you know how hard it is to win a wrestling match against an already tricky fox that has three tails constantly tickling you?" Kurenai said.
"... BAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHA!" Anko burst out, falling to the ground in a fit of laughter.
"... Can we just get back to the original subject?" Kurenai asked after a full five minutes of laughing, in which Naruto came to see if her mother was still breathing.
"Yeah, sure... And while that's pretty awesome it doesn't quite cut it." Anko said, slowly getting back to her feet as she was nearly tossed into another fit.
"Well then 'oh wise one', what would make me 'awesome'?" Kurenai asked.
"Why don't we just start with a drink on me." Anko said, noticing the sun going down. Kurenai froze for a few moments before laughing a little.
"That was unexpected. Now, by a drink I'm going to be safe and guess you don't mean a nice chat over a bottle of light Sake." Kurenai said, crossing her arms.
"Correctamundo. I'm talking about a totally shit faced drunk off your ass to the point where everything comes out as 'Bleh!', drink. I've got a reputation in all of Fire Country, nobody can drink me under the table, not even Tsunade-sama. Last time we went at it we both passed out at the same time." Anko said.
"Contrary to what you might think the Sake flows like wine in my family." Kurenai said.
"Well while you two go get drunk we're going to get dinner and go home, if you're not home by midnight I'm locking all the doors. We don't need two drunks waking the place up." Naruto said.
"Sorry I like to party 'mom'." Anko said.
"You know, with how you two act Anko sensei, Naruto-chan seems like the mom." Sakura giggled.
"Yeah yeah, see you tomorrow for missions." Anko said.
"We're going to be past midnight aren't we?" Kurenai said as they started walking towards the village.
"Oh yeah. Don't worry though, My place is still livable." Anko said.
"Well if we do get totally shitfaced 'bleh' drunk then I don't trust either of us to get home." Kurenai said.
"Winner crashes at loser's place?" Anko offered.
"You're on." Kurenai replied.
"You passed out so fast! I thought you said it was like wine or something!" Anko blurted out at two in the morning as she and Kurenai helped each other into Kurenai's home. It wasn't quite a mansion, but it was rather large.
"I'm just outta practice." Kurenai giggled. as she was dropped onto her couch, followed by Anko falling on top of her in a fit of laughter.
"Don't we have a mission tomorrow?" Kurenai asked after a while.
"We do, but i have a little secret..." Anko started, dropping to a whisper and looking around.
"I have hangover tea in a pocket at all times!" She whispered rather loudly as she pulled a small box from an inside pocket of her jacket.
"That makes sense... why is that a secret?" Kurenai asked, confused.
"Um... I dunno!" Anko replied, starting another bout of laughter between the two.
"You know, there's a bajillion rumors going around about you." Kurenai said when they finally stopped laughing.
"Oh yeah? like what?" Anko asked.
"Everybody always says you're like this cold hearted bitch and that when you get drunk you get silent, violent or you try to fuck anything in sight." Kurenai listed off, putting a finger to her chin in thought.
"Oh being a cold hearted bitch is so fun though. And yeah, that drunk part is pretty true." Anko giggled.
"Well you're not silent, you haven't punched me yet..." Kurenai started.
"Oh Yuuhi, I didn't know you swung that way." Anko said lowly as she remember the fact she was practically in the Jounin's lap.
"I don't... But I'm wasted." Kurenai grinned before turning the situation into something similar to a scene in one of Jiraiya's books.
