Missing Moment
Age Seven: Training Course
"Gah, Brat! Get back here and take it like a man!" Kisame yelled as he ran after a very scared Naruto. "No way fish face, I'm not doing that in a million years!" "All you have to do is run over hot coals, jump over my shark pond, swing through the forest with Orochimaru's snakes after you and then finally fight me in another one on one battle. It's not that hard!"
Naruto sweat dropped as he continued running, never noticing that Kisame was trapping him in the obstacle course anyways. Naruto cursed as he stepped instantly on hot coals, his bare feet exposed to the heat. Kisame had stolen his shoes earlier and that is when Naruto started to run for it.
"Damn it, I should've been paying better attention." Naruto growled as he ran as fast as he could across the coals without burning himself. He finally finished that part but then had to take a running leap and jump over the twelve yard pond, missing the end by an inch and falling into the water. Kisame's sharks got a bite of his pants leg.
Kisame stood at the side, timing everything, he smirked, knowing Naruto would have a field day with Orochimaru's snakes in the forest. He couldn't help but laugh at the thought.
Naruto was hesitant to enter the forest, it held his nightmare in a real form. He finally summoned his courage and entered the forest, only to be attacked instantly by snakes of all sizes, colors, and fangs. Naruto dodged as many as he could, moving slowly, avoiding pits and traps and everything.
Naruto had to finally jump as high as he could as a boa shot at him, unfortunately the snakes wrapped around him as he was landing, trapping him. He couldn't really move and his mind was telling him to move. He wouldn't lie, he was scared. But that didn't mean he'd use that jutsu Itachi taught him to escape from Orochimaru's snakes.
Naruto made some hand seals, thank god his hands were close together when he was caught, and then he disappeared in a burst of flames. He appeared on the other side of the course, where he saw Kisame awaiting for him there. "Bout time you got here brat." Kisame smirked as he pulled out Samehada ready to attack.
Naruto gulped as he pulled out a small katana that Kisame had given him to practice with. "Okay brat come at me with everything you got." Naruto smirked at that, even though he knew that Kisame wouldn't let him win this time, not since their first battle. So Naruto made a hand sign and disappeared out of sight.
'Wonder what he's up to this time.' Kisame thought as he put his guard up. He had a pond behind him so he didn't feel like he was going to be out classed, but Naruto had a habit of using the wind as his main attack, but he'd use fire and water into his wind attacks. He'd already made an attack that had blown Kisame into rock country, almost destroying him in the process.
Kisame felt that Naruto's chakra spiked, he was about to use an attack that could actually destroy him. Him, a seven swordsman of the mist! He'd have to stay on guard.
"Wind Style: Typhoon Force!" the force of the wind that hit him sent him into a tree. Then he felt his skin being ripped open little by little, his blood dripping down his face in a red river. "Just great, another wind style jutsu, just what he needs." Kisame grunted as he tried to move around.
Kisame pushed chakra into his feet and began moving to the place where the chakra was coming from , forming hand signs all the way there. "Almost there." Kisame grunted as he moved around the tree to see Naruto surrounded by a storm of wind, a yell of "Wind style: Wind scythes Jutsu!" Made Kisame's eyes go wide as he was almost cut in half by the wind.
He lay on the ground, bleeding as Naruto came out towards him carefully. "Guess you win this time brat." Kisame groaned out as he used Samehada to stand and then limp towards the hideout. "Now do two hundred laps, five thousand push ups, eight thousand sit ups and finally nine thousand tree sit ups. Get to it and then you can go to bed hungry." Naruto groaned as he moved to do the work out from hell and get done before dark.
34
It was two in the morning by the time Naruto finished his workout, he was exhausted and sore, his arms aching and legs throbbing. "Bout time you got back in, you can go to bed now brat." Kisame barked, he was wrapped in bandages, hiding wounds on his body effectively but he didn't wear his cloak, just the tank and pants.
Naruto nodded and padded off to go to bed. He was to exhausted to notice the shadow behind him, not noticing that he was well out of reach from any help or that no one usually came down this corridor at this time.
Naruto yelped as a pair of fangs sank into his neck, leaving him stunned that he hadn't noticed a snake right behind him the entire time.
