Chapter 9: Training Father and Daughter

"So Elis what do you wanna work on your training," Sasuke asked following Elis to where she trains.

"Well I wanted to work on my speed and some of my melee tequices," said Elis thinking of what she had to practice on.

"How old are you?" Sasuke asked.

"I am eight years old. And at the top of my class," Elis said turning around to Sasuke to show how proud of herself she was.

"Wow."

"Yep. I had to study really hard to get the top of my class. Me and mom rarely talked because I was studying so hard. But know I am acing my class like I am the book," Elis said so proudly.

Sasuke smiled to know that.

He was surprised at how much stories she had to tell him about Hinata. Like the one time that she didn't know how to change her dipper when she was small and there would be a big mess in the end. She never mention Naruto much so he guessed that he wasn't helping at all which made him mad. Though he was filled with joy that he wasn't mad that much at Naruto.

They came to a place that had a big field and no tree was around the field except for the forest that was twenty feet away from the field. Sasuke was shocked that she trained here. Because that was the place that Hinata and him would go to train.

"Are you okay Sasuke?" Elis said about twelve inches away from him.

"Um...Yeah. Sorry I seem to have dose off," Sasuke said guiltily.

"So are you going to train too?" Elis said going into her bag to get the necessary things to train with.

"I can help you if you want to," Sasuke suggested.

"Can you run really face?" Elis said turning to look at Sasuke.

"Hm," Sasuke said with a grin.

Elis felt a shocking wind.

"So do you still need help with that training?" Sasuke said from the other side of the field in the forest.

"Wow," Elis said quietly to herself.

Sasuke started helping her with some exercise so she wouldn't break a muscle during the training. Then he gave her five pound weights to put on her ankle so she could start running with them.

"So why do I need waits to help my speed?" Elis said looking at the waits that matched with her outfit.

"Because with the wait on you can increase your speed by running short distances than running long distances without the weights. It can also help your muscles get stronger in your leg area," Sasuke said in a smart way.

"Oh."

"So start running from this line to the line over there and see how it feels," Sasuke said pointing to the two points to where she had to run.

"Okay."

Elis started running from one point to another that was only a third mile away. When she came back half way she started to get tired but she made herself run to the point.

"Are you okay?"

"I just need to rest," Elis said laying on the grass breathing heavily.

"I guess I should have started with the one pounds first," Sasuke said to himself guiltily.

"Don't worry. Can you give me the next heaveist?" Elis said standing up with her breath slowing down a bit.

"What?" Sasuke shocked.

"I want to be strong so mom doesn't have to worry about me so much. So when I go on missions I can help her with the bills and not have her wake up in the middle of the night worrying if I am safe," Elis said looking through his bags to find the next heaviest thing.

I guess that really is Naruto's kid. She sure has his spirit, Sasuke said to himself smiling.

"Alright," Sasuke said getting the other weights out.

They trained no-stop. Sasuke was getting tired but, Elis didn't want to stop. They started from 8:00 in the morning and know it was 7:00 at night.

"Hey Elis do you always work this hard," Sasuke said watching Elis run on fifty pound weights.

"Only...huh...when...huh...no one is...huh looking," Elis said in between breaths.

She got back from her round and Sasuke got up to take off the weights.

"Are you going to put sum more on," Elis said after catching her breath.

"No. We are going to see how fast you can run," said Sasuke while he was putting away the weights. "Start running."

Elis started running and she was at past the other point in less than a millisecond.

"Wow. I can't believe it. I am almost as fast as you," Elis shouted so proud of herself.

"Do you feel a bit lighter?" Sasuke shouted.

"Yeah. It's great," Elis said coming back to Sasuke's side.

"You learn really quick," Sasuke said putting all of her things in her bag and putting both of there bags on his back.

"Yep. Plus I have a really good teacher," Elis said taking Sasuke's hand

"So let's go eat," Sasuke said holding her hand.

"Great. Let's get some BBQ or something," Elis said drooling thinking about food.

"Okay."

They went to the BBQ and got a table. Sasuke was surprised at how much she at after training. She at almost as much as he did. Soon after Sasuke paid the bill and they went out.

"I am really sorry I ate so much," Elis said apologizing.

"Don't worry. I was like that too you know," Sasuke said.

Sasuke could see that Elis was getting tired. So he put his bag in front of him and Elis's bag on her and put Elis on his back.

"Oh. You don't have to do that. I can still walk," Elis said trying to go down.

"No. All good ninjia's know how to take a break and you need a long one," Sasuke said not looking at her.

Then he heard someone sleeping behind him. When he looked back Elis was fast asleep.

Sasuke smiled. She looked like her mother when she slept.

He stopped at Hinata's apartment and knocked on her door. No one answered. So he opened the door and it was unlock.

He went to Hinata's room to see if she was home and she was. He put Elis next to Hinata trying not to wake either of them. He took a step back and saw how cute they were together.

Hinata I wish I was a part of your life, Sasuke said regretfully.

He quickly ran out of the apartment locking the door and he was crying making no noise.
