Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto! Hello everyone ^^ Okay so originally I was going have something with Hinata in this chapter with her progression and everything. But decided to leave it out for now and focus on everyone in Uzushiogakure for now, at least until Chapter 11. Then it will go to Hinata in the leaf village as well explaining the after math of the Uchiha massacre, figure you know. It deserve it's own chapter and not mix in XD

Any way, I made a slight error in ages XD Apparently both Haku and Kimimaro are 15 years old when Naruto meets up with them, so that will mean in my story these two are actually thirteen years old XD So my mistake on that lol. All the while am going to get into Naruto and Haku's relationship and curiosity building up in this chapter as well in the next one, so yeah a little bit of fanservice in this chapter. So hope you all enjoy and look forward to crazy thing the three will be up too during their weekend break XD Enjoy ^^As to inform everyone as well being curious, Naruto is 11 in this time year XD

Chapter 9: Training in the way of Chuunin Part 2, Information from an ex-Leaf Ninja!

It was another day for the three training session, hoping and praying that today will go a lot better than yesterday. Naruto, Kimimaro and Haku couldn't believe how bad things went yesterday as they tried everything to get their training done right.

They got tossed up, chewed out and spit out like yesterday's left overs. They didn't clear a single training at all, always getting caught by Zabuza when they tried to become stealthy, Haku and Naruto nearly caught a cold from falling into the lake multiple times, as well getting bruised here and there by the Kunai's and senbons.

It had gotten even worse when they went up against Kurra, Kimimaro's mom who continued beating them up to a pulp. Trying to learn Taijutsu even though the mother didn't really help them on that department, all the while coming a bit consume by her Kaguya clan's blood thirst to fight.

Although Kimimaro did mention towards the two, after passing out for a short second that they were able to dodge most if not, all of Kurra's attacks meaning that their evasion training on the lake was kicking in a lot better.

But it was still for naught as Haku and Naruto couldn't even lay a finger on the mother, let alone Kimimaro. Who personally did better than those two, but exerted too much energy that will leave him very tired out and exhausted.

Then they were taught on chakra control where Kimimaro did really bad, considering of his time being locked up in the cage as well only being taught how to just fight without using his chakra. Had the boy be a bit frustrated at how he couldn't really conjure up enough chakra to levitate some of the items they were told to balance.

While for Naruto and Haku, the two were either using way too much chakra or way to less of chakra that had some of the Kunai's go flying to no man lands for Naruto while Haku concentrated too much chakra when she was balancing more than one item at a time, that it started burning her fingers badly.

Although through everything they went through as well trying to learn the tree climbing exercise, Naruto, Haku and Kimimaro all forgotten that they still had the chakra weights on them. In which slowly started changing colors indicating that they were progressing well in their training.

We now meet up with said children on day two of their Chuunin level training.

"Argh why is it so difficult to move in these!" whined out Naruto who was still having a bit of trouble, moving in the chakra weights, that he was constantly dragging one foot after another while his arms were barely going past his stomach every time he lifts them up.

Haku was in the same predicament as he was, she too couldn't really move that well with the chakra weights all the while forgetting to ask Kushina if they could take them off yesterday, boy did her ankles and wrists hurt in the morning.

"I know it is supposed to help us, but you think your mom is going a little overboard?" Haku asked, while shifting her brown eyes over towards the blond hair boy, who sighed a depressing sigh and shrugged his shoulders best he could.

"Who knows…I mean let's be honest to ourselves we really, really need this kind of training level if we want to catch up with the other Genins out there right?" He asked while lifting his head up and looking towards Haku, who smiled lightly and nodded.

"So I say we go through the training and show our Kaa-chans and that smug face Zabuza that we are worthy of this training level!" he announced getting Haku to giggle as well getting pumped. "Hell Kimimaro declared that he will clear that obstacle course someday, so we too should stay positive as well for our evasion and Taijutsu training!" He declared getting Haku to nod in approval.

They were walking through the park woods, same path that led them towards where the lake was as well the two wooden poles they used to balance on. Over the course of the night Haku had been racking her brain at what is making those wooden poles float and bob in the water so badly?

She has a good idea that was also part of the reason, for most of their balance being ruin? But it didn't make much sense for one pole to be affecting the other one, without actually disturbing the lake waters motions unless she or Naruto would jump on the poles really hard.

'There must be some sort of trick to it…I mean there has to be a reason for Kushina-san wanting to use those poles for our evasion training?' Haku thought as she looked up towards the snow covered trees and grey barks. Noticing that for once today it wasn't going to be snowing, in which is very rare to happen in the Land of Waters.

The sun beaming down will definitely be welcome as well praying that it will warm up the lake. "Hey Haku I was meaning to ask you something?" Naruto's voice rang out towards the girl's ear as she turned her attention towards the boy. Seeing him looking at her with a questioning look?

"Yeah Naruto-kun?" she replied back as well giggling at how he tried to point towards her backpack, with that thinking pose that he does with his face that will always cause the girl to blush as well thinking how cute he looked when those whiskers marks scrounging up most of his face.

"What's inside the bag if you don't mind me asking?"

"OH this?" she stated while thumbing towards the back on her back, all the while smiling with a small blush as well shifting her brown eyes a bit. "Um…well I sort of packed extra clothing for you know…When I fall into the lake and get wet. So besides just wearing my soaked clothes, I brought some extra pairs that will be dry." She explained bashfully.

"Heh you got the same idea as I did! I too brought extra pair of clothing!" He beamed excitedly getting the two of them to laugh out and giggle through the woods as they were approaching the lake side. Both of them were leering deadly at the two poles that were gently floating in the middle of the lake.

Taunting them as well scolding them at how they failed miserably yesterday of their poor job of dodging. But not today they thought, today they will do a lot better than yesterday. Hopefully they will consider that the extra weights were also affecting their ability to dodge said weapons.

"Hmm…you think we are a bit early?" Naruto asked with blinking eyes, setting down his bag near a tree. Seeing no signs what so ever of his mom, or Usari anywhere? "Our mom's should be here right?" Naruto asked after taking a few steps forward with his hand barely scratching the side of his cheek.

He then turned over towards Haku, who too was looking around the surrounding area. Only thing she could hear was the soft gentle splashes of the lake hitting the beach side, all the while rustling of the bushes and tree branches moving about.

"I think so Naruto, which is usually a good thing for students to be here early. Allows us to figure things out and plan ahead." She explained as she wrapped her arms around her stomach, considering she couldn't lift them up towards her chest as she stared towards Naruto.

Seeing how the boy agrees with a firm nod, he started thinking ahead by looking out towards the two poles. Figuring that is their main object of today if Haku were implying anything, his thoughts were on the same level as hers.

Trying to figure out why they were bobbing up and down so much in the water that caused most of their unbalance yesterday? It could have not been them considering the weights were pushing them down into the poles, as well not being able to jump during the onslaught of weapons coming at them.

If anything that Naruto could think of, were the constant ripple effects that the Kunai's were making when they landed in the lake. But…that alone didn't make sense since the Kunai's don't really weigh all that much.

He growled in frustration all the while leaning his down towards his hands as he ruffled up his hair, "Argh this is frustrating! I can't figure out if we were the cause of the poles bobbing, or if it was the weapons!" He screamed out while lifting his head back up, breathing heavily.

Earning a few giggles from Haku as she tried to control it, with her eyes closed and hand up near her lips. She too was thinking the same thing and came up with nothing.

Not even the reason behind the poles bobbing up and down, so without much to do as well wasting time before either parent's gets here. They might as well get undress and prepare for their training to begin, "Come on Naruto I think we should get ready for training. Who knows when our parent's will get here?" she explained with a bashful tone.

On the account this was the second day they will be undressing near each other. Granted her and Naruto were couple distances away from each other, as well being able to see one another get undress when their mother's took them behind some trees and bushes.

Although doesn't fight the fact, she was still able to see Naruto in nothing but his boxers, as well him seeing her in nothing but her sports bra and shorts. She still considered them to be somewhat undergarments but like her mother said, they really weren't treated as such and have been used for training purposes in the summer.

"Yeah your right…I'll be over there if you need me Haku-chan." Naruto started while ready to head on over behind some trees, as Haku bite her lower lip a bit.

They were going to be future teammates right? Then it should be alright for them to at least undress near each other…Of course that thought was thrown away considering she was going to be the only female in the group.

That is what her rational thoughts should say, but another part of her mind is telling that if only Naruto was around, it should be alright right? Besides that they all know each other for three years of living together.

Gulping and trying to get some courage into her body, she approached the boy and quickly before she could blink grabbed two fingers lightly against his coat sleeve, "Wait-wait Naruto-Naruto-kun…" she slightly stuttered out causing the boy to shift his head over towards her with confusion.

All the while seeing the girl blushing a bit with her smiling brightly at him, "It…it's alright to get undress where you're standing. I mean it is just you and I as well we are going to be in a future team together right?" she stated all the while letting go of his arm sleeve, getting the boy to widen his eyes at what Haku was saying.

He then thought about how she said that they were going to be in a future team together, so in a way there might be situations where the group might get undress with each other around, "That…that is true but why do our moms?" he went to asked then chuckled at what Haku said next.

"They're moms Naruto; it's their job to be worried about their children. Especially when training them to be ninja besides…I, I don't mind if you and I were to just well…" She started losing it as the boy quickly moved his hands up in understanding.

Or at least he thinks so considering Haku just explained if it was just her and him. So that means she won't mind, if the two of them undress with each other. But leaves the question of Kimimaro?

"Don't worry about him alright Naruto; I'm sure he will understand." She said hating herself of lying towards the boy, or at this point tricking him into doing this with her. After all she did spend a lot of time with Naruto, as well him with her that the two became nearly inseparable!

Well with nothing else to do and seeing no problem with her logic, they decided to go ahead and get undressed. Besides, whenever Kushina have a break from her work. She will usually take Naruto with her towards the hot springs and join in a mixed bathing with her.

All the while Usari and Haku joining in, just chatting away with each other while Naruto and Haku spend time together all the while their mother's chat with each other. Been like that ever since two years, so it wasn't anything new for either one of them too see each other with nothing but their under garments.

Seeing how Haku started getting her clothes off, Naruto couldn't help but turn away. Causing Haku to lightly turn her head towards him with blinking eyes, she then bit her lower lip. With the weights on her it will be difficult to reach the zipper on the back of her shirt.

"Na…Naruto-kun I will need help with the zipper once I take off my Kimono jacket." She explained with a slight blush causing the boy behind her to turn around as well looking her at the eyes, seeing her smile. "Eheh blame fashion."

This earn her a chuckle from Naruto as he understood what she means, he has seen the girl have slight trouble unzipping that long brown sleeve shirt of hers. So nodding he watched the girl untying the sash too her Kimono jacket and shrugged it off towards the ground with her shoulders, all the while keeping her eyes on the boy.

Who saw the zipper and grin at Haku, as he approached behind her. Now he understood why she has difficult times getting this zipper, it's literately up near her neck and with the weights on her arms. It would be fruitless to try and reach it in her situation.

"Alright Haku, though not sure I'll be able to lift my arms that high?" He explained getting the girl to nod. She couldn't help but giggle as Naruto was struggling very badly to lift his arms, making different faces whenever he tried to lift them up.

She felt his hands lightly grasping onto her shoulders all the while moving towards the zipper. Getting her to shudder a bit when his hands glided across her body and latched onto the zipper and started pulling it down near the middle of her back and pulled away.

"There ya go Haku!" he beamed giving his traditional fox smile towards her as she smiled back with a blush as she got to work on getting her shirt off, in a manor she was unintentionally doing. By moving her shoulders up and down slowly, shifting them gently against the fabric as it was slowly going down her arms.

Revealing ever slowly her smooth white back skin to Naruto, as he watched the girl struggled a bit on getting the shirt off. Now he understood why their parent's help them out with this, though he lightly grabbed his stomach as he felt that funny sensation again.

Like butterflies in his stomach just by watching the girl, managing to get her hands up onto her arms and bending her body forward too fully get the shirt off of her, revealing the rest of her back and the button sports bra of hers as she bend back up with a sigh and shook her head.

Naruto shook his head as well trying to figure out why he was feeling funny, only to then blushed a bit when Haku went to take her pants off by grabbing the waist band and pulling it down her legs, all the while bending down with said pants, giving a good view too Naruto of her shorts that is forming her behind a bit.

She knew what she was doing, more importantly she wanted for some reason show off her body a bit towards the boy. Not quite sure why though, all her mind could think about is too impressing the boy of how her body is forming out as well wanting to see his reaction.

Standing back up as well having the blush on her face, she turned around and tilted her head a bit with a smile. "You-your turn Naruto-kun." She said innocently with closed eyes and a smile. Getting the boy too blink his eyes all the while shaking his head.

Then bashfully smiled and rubbed his head as he went for his jacket first and started unzipping it and taking it off, along with his shirt in which this where his problem comes in with the weights considering he couldn't even lift his arms past his chest.

But did the same fashion as Haku by bending his upper body forward and taking it off that way, all the while standing back up while shaking his head, broadly smiling towards Haku who giggled a bit at the way he acted like a fox would shake out his fur.

She then stood there for a bit with her face becoming red once more as he was taking his pants off and being in nothing but his boxers once more, at the same time scanning out his entire body. All the while staring too long at his face with those blue orbs of his, those whisker marks and that smile.

She could easily get lost in those and felt herself unintentionally moving towards him, only to stop herself when the boy stood up and stretching his body. "There we go though still doesn't help anything with the weights, let alone how we are going to get onto the poles?" he mused out while crossing his arms a bit in a cold shiver.

Haku nodded her head and looked out towards the pole one last time, still trying to figure out how they were constantly bobbing up and down without the two of them jumping all that much?

"I see you two already went ahead and got undressed." Announced a female voice, getting Haku and Naruto to turn around and smile brightly. It was Kimimaro's mother Kurra, bringing a big happy smile towards the two kids as she approached the two of them and lightly petted their head.

"I was informed by Kushina of what you two will be training in and figured I take her place for today", she paused all the while lifting up a finger seeing that one of them were about to asked where she was "She is in a meeting right now and discussing with a very important visitor on certain matters." She explained getting the two too raise their heads in understanding then blushed when she couldn't help but asked.

"So…did you privately undressed or both of you watched each other taking your clothes off?" she mused out seeing collective blushes from the two as well Haku, stammering out how she couldn't really reach her zipper and such.

"Easy you two it's alright I'm not surprised if you asked help or not, considering those chakra weights weigh about ten pounds each." She explained laughing quietly at the way the two hang their mouths open.

"What the hell…? Ten pounds each that's about forty pounds we have on our body!" Naruto shouted getting Kurra to nod as she lifted up Haku and Naruto up onto her shoulders as well started walking out towards the two poles that were in the middle of the lake.

"Yeah I know Kushina did say she wanted everyone to catch up with the other Genins, so she figured that forty pounds should be enough for you, Haku and Kimimaro to catch up with the other Nations. That and it will be good for you three being able to defend yourselves and be at the top of your game." explained Kurra as she got Haku onto her pole and then Naruto onto his.

"Hey wait Kurra-san where are your Kunai's or Senbons?" asked Haku, only to pale and gulped when the mother hop and skipped around onto the beach with a sinister smile.

"Oh Haku-chan did you forget that I am a Kaguya ninja? I don't need Kunai's or senbons to fight." She stated while flexing her fingers getting the two children to understand that she can use her bones as projectiles.

In which still sent shivers down their spines, but unlike Kushina and Usari. She actually gave the two enough time to take their time and adjust with the poles constant bobbing as well getting them to balance "Ready?" she asked.

Seeing that the two weren't flailing around as much as well softly placing their arms down to their side, the two children nodded and got ready for the bone like fingers to start firing "Okay count of three."

Haku and Naruto harden their glares and focus heavily on the mother, seeing which target she will be going after first "One." She counted as she took a couple steps back a bit, judging the distance between her and the children as well hoping that they will do better today.

"Two", the second number came as Naruto saw that her attention was turning towards him, becoming her target for a bit and knew deep down he will have to dodge much as possible. Plus make sure he doesn't get cut badly from her bone projectiles.

The third number was shouted as she fired all five finger bone projectiles towards Naruto, as the boy gritted his teeth in fright and started best he could to throw his weight around, by lifting one leg up into the air while his arms were flailing, hissing in pain when three bone cut across his shoulders and arm.

Though when he placed his foot back onto the pole, Haku started flailing about as she felt her own pole bobbing, causing her to bend her upper body back with wide eyes as two finger bones went past her. She then quickly turned her body sideways a bit with one arm behind her back and the other above her.

Only to hiss in pain when two finger bones cut across her waist causing her to stand back up with her arms crossing her stomach a bit, all the while noticing that Naruto started flailing about when she up righted herself and started losing all balance as she closed her eyes with her hands, shifting two fingers apart to watch how he will handle this.

"SHIIIIT!" he shouted as his entire body started falling backwards with his arms going in pinwheel fashion, as well one leg lifted up in the air trying to grasp onto the pole much as possible only to see the cold freezing lake waters was coming towards him very fast.

Out of instincts as well panic, he formed the hand signs for Chakra concentration by accident and heard a small plop noise. His eyes were closed and he dared not open them, though something wasn't right? He didn't feel like he got soaked, or fell into the water?

So being brave he slowly opened one eye just a tiny bit. Hearing muffling voice calling out too him, trying to figure out what they were saying to him as he fully open his eyes and saw the world was turned upside down!?

"Naruto-kun…you, you're doing it! You are hanging onto the pole!" shouted an excited Haku who had her mouth wide open with a huge smile, as well pointing at his feet. In which the boy eyes were blinking a bit as he then looked up or down, whatever the direction is and saw that she was right!

There was a blue glow under his feet, indicating that he was focusing Chakra onto his feet as well staying onto the pole despite being about two inches away from the water. Hell, even Kurra was astounded at how the boy managed to pull it off.

"Either that is a fluke, or he really did mean to use the chakra concentration?" She pondered out loud seeing the boy shouting and rooting, only to start sliding down the pole and submerging into the lake waters with bubbles rippling onto the surface as Haku couldn't help but hold her stomach and laughed wildly at how the boy just slide right into the cold waters.

This went on for another two hours as Haku and Naruto were panting and breathing heavily from all the training they did onto their reflexes. In which Kurra announced that they did a great job, although haven't been able to dodge all of them as well keeping themselves on the pole.

But they did a lot better than their first try; saying how they were also using their Chakra concentration into the mix was an awesome idea to do. Telling and explaining to them that ninja's will always need to think ahead as well stay on their toes in situation like that.

Using the Chakra concentration like that to recover back on top of the pole was genius. They couldn't help but feel great today; sure they have cuts littered all over their bodies' as well slight torn parts in their clothing, but they didn't care!

They manage to work both reflexes and chakra concentration into this training and no doubt in their mind if they both want to master both. They might as well use everything they have into their training, especially if that's how ninja's train then no doubt in mind, if they were to keep that though in hand.

They will be able to succeed in this training. Kurra after discussing that she need to go and check up on Kimimaro, told the two too stay for a bit and dry off. Since the sun is beaming brightly today with no clouds in the way.

Haku and Naruto can get themselves all warm up, before getting into the Taijutsu practice. Before she left though, the two asked how Kimimaro was doing in his obstacle course and smiled when she replied back "Let's say he only gotten blown up three times today and crashed into some swinging logs twice."

Meaning that the boy is doing a lot better than last time, from what they remember he kept on screaming out in agony and pain when he ran through the obstacle course, hell they did horrible when they were tested on it.

So leaving the children there for now, Haku and Naruto just rested up against a tree both of them sliding down it gently as they rested on the ground and stared out at the two poles.

"You've notice it too right Haku?" started Naruto as the girl nodded to his statement, "That the poles were definitely bobbing from us right?"

"Yup no doubt that those two poles are connected to one another, which is causing us to become unbalance a lot over the training course." She replied back while humming to herself. She then leered very lightly at the lake waters as well noticing how very clear it was today.

She wasn't sure of what she is looking for, but she was hoping to see if there was any indication of a rope being tied between the two of the poles? Upon investigating a bit longer on the water, she noticed a dark brown thick rope across the lake surface that had her thrusting her arm forward.

"Naruto-kun look!" she shouted getting the boy to blink his eyes and stared over towards the spot she was pointing, getting him too leer his blues eyes as well widening them. "They were connected to each other, more of tied together! That explains why we were having so much trouble balancing!"

"If that is true than…wouldn't that mean is part of the training somehow?" he questioned at the end, getting the both of them to look over to each with questioning looks and then back towards the lake. "Let's see…" he hummed out crossing his arms in a thinking position.

"We now know they are tied together and doesn't bobs on its own." He muttered getting Haku to nod as well closing her own eyes, as they were picturing the two logs in the lake waters.

"But once we get on top of the two and move in an erratic fashion, it causes the other log pole to bob from the persons movement." She continued for him, picturing both her and Naruto on top of the poles, as the two miniature versions of themselves were flailing about and falling into the lake.

The two of them were going through every situation possible of what could not make the two poles move under their feet, after a few minute Naruto started blinking his eyes all the while standing up as well walking towards the edge of the lake.

"Naruto-kun?" quietly Haku asked, watching the boy approached the lake and picked up a couple of pebbles lightly tossing it up and down in his hands, he then chucked the pebble towards the pole seeing if that will cause any motion or shifting of the poles. Only to see that nothing had happen.

"Okay we definitely know Kunai's and Shruikens have nothing to do with our balance problem." He stated as he turned around and headed towards their bags, knowing full well they would need to change out of their wet clothes.

Haku nodded with a smile as well proud how Naruto figured that out, she then widen her eyes and shot straight up onto her two feet. "Wait Naruto-kun maybe…Maybe it has something to do with us!" She shouted getting the boy to look over towards her as well bringing their bags over.

"What do you mean?" He asked as he handed her brown bag over too her, he then started un-zippering his green bags a she started explaining too him as well probably figuring out how the training method works.

"Well remember after getting into the training, when one of us jumped up into the air and landed back down onto the poll? Causing the other to get lifted up into the air as well messing up with their dodging?" She stated about to get new pairs of under garments, as well Naruto getting a new pair of boxers as he looked up at her with her looking into his eyes.

"Yeah I…WAIT HOLY COW! Of course the motions we do while we are dodging is affecting the other which means…" he hang onto the word a bit with his big grin as Haku nodded with her own answer.

"We are supposed to work as one when avoiding weapons like that, of course probably not solo." She quickly added as she saw Naruto grinning like a fool as well nodding his head.

"It will still help us work as a team! Awesome we figured it out way to go Haku!" He shouted as the girl couldn't help but hugged the boy as well him hugging back, only for the two too widen their eyes and pulled away considering they were hugging each other half naked.

"Ahem right-right we better get out of these wet clothes." Naruto stated as Haku nodded and stood up with the boy, but before they could go behind some bushes the girl blushed fully red and realized that…In order to get her bra on, she needs another set of hands to help her. She started gnawing on her lower lip and slowly turned her gaze over towards Naruto.

Who was about too walked behind some bushes, she looked up towards the sky a bit with closed eyes and squeaked out, "Naruto-Naruto-kun…?" causing the boy to turn around at her with a tilted head. Wondering what was up as well seeing the girl entire face was red, all the while her bangs shadowing her scared eyes.

"I-I-I still need help getting…getting, getting my top on." She stuttered out causing Naruto to close his eyes in confusion, only to widen them with a ridicules look on his face as well full blown blush. On the account she was right, she can barely lift her arms and bending her upper body down won't help with getting them off or on.

"A…Are, are you sure-sure?" He stuttered out with a gulp and saw the girl nodding her head very slowly as well looking over towards him with a very embarrassed expression. Gulping as well approaching her, he decided to help out Haku, considering it wouldn't be fair for him to have no trouble getting his clothes on.

Only for the girl to struggle with her own clothing, once he reached to her Haku turned her back towards Naruto all the while facing down towards the ground. Showing him where her sports bra button was place which was near the top of her back.

He with extreme caution as well enough force to get his arms lifted up, placed his cold hands onto the girls wet back, causing her to shiver a bit and felt the boy trying his best to move them up her back. Getting her to clench her eyes shut, trying to fight back this strange feeling that's wanting to escape from her throat.

As well felt the boy stumbled a bit with her sports bra button and managing to get it off, with her eyes watching the fabric fall to the ground as well doing the best she could not moving or revealing her front side. "There…there ya go!" Naruto stuttered out, thinking that was over with only for his eyes to blink when Haku gulped.

"Umm…" she slowly crossed one arm over her chest and used her free right arm, to point towards her bag, "My...my uh top is still in there Naruto-Naruto-kun." She felt really embarrassed for not grabbing it earlier before asking Naruto to help her with this predicament.

Nodding in understanding the boy went towards the bag that is next to her and went to find a shirt for her. Only to blinked his eyes when she said that looked like her sports top, as he grabbed it and stood up all the while moving his arm behind him.

Haku smiled lightly and grabbed the bra; she wasn't embarrassed about wearing these in front of the boy not after those many visits to the hot springs with their parents. She shivered a bit when a cold breeze blew by and had her looking down at her modest chests that were going into C cups.

Her arms were starting to hurt considering the weights and all, causing her to dropped one arm down too her sides with a harsh sigh as well hoping it didn't cause Naruto too look over towards her, "Haku-chan…you okay?" he asked quietly with a stutter. Getting the girl to smile lightly as well bringing the bra towards her face only to twitch her face in an exaggerated look with her mouth hanging open and purple lines going across her face.

It was one to be button in front of her and that means "Naruto hands have too…wait why am I freaking out?" she quickly shook her head. Why was she worried that Naruto hands will be touching her? Like she said earlier they were going to be on the same team, as well they will need to have good trust with each other right?

"Naruto-kun…I, need you to stand behind me again." She explained getting the boy to raise an eyebrow in confusion then mentally bopping his head. It must be another top that requires Haku to button it on her back, so with a shrug he walked behind Haku and notice how she was slouching forward a bit.

Giving him a good idea that the girl will be bringing the strap around, only to blink when she tilted her head and then bit her lower lip, all the while handing him the top "Err?" he question while looking at the top she handed him, all the while noticing the slight smile.

"I…Err need you to wrap it around to my front?" She said with an innocent smile, causing Naruto to blink his eyes. She wanted him to hook it to the front? He just sighed and shook his head while muttering out.

"I'll never understand girls and their fashion sense." Earning a heart filled giggle from Haku as she agrees with him, she doesn't understand why clothes are so different for girls? So standing up straight and breathing in a lot air.

She intently watched the boy bringing the front part of the top over to her chest, while lifting her hands up much she could as well seeing him struggling with his own chakra weights. To touch his own arms while guiding him where they need to rest, only for the girl too blush bright red as well letting out a soft moan.

Causing Naruto to tilt his head a bit, "Haku everything alright?" He asked seeing the girl nodding her head as well looking back down towards his hands, seeing that they were gently pressing against her chest all the while buttoning up her top.

"Why…why do I feel funny as well…feeling good somehow?" she thought to herself and felt the boy stepping away from the girl as well smiling at his progress all the while Haku turning around with her own smile as well blushing face.

"Heh that actually wasn't as bad with the sports bra huh!" He beamed getting her to giggle. She has to agree, they both struggled with the sports bra but with this it went without a hitch. She then lightly pulled Naruto in a hugged causing the boy to chuckle lightly and hugged back.

He wasn't sure why they were hugging but figure she was thanking him once more, for the help and pulled away only for the girl to lightly place a thank you kiss on his cheek. "Thanks Naruto I should ask for your help more often!" she giggled with slight squeal and ran off behind some bushes.

Leaving a stunned Naruto there a bit, as he raised his right hand up to the spot she kissed and grin like a giddy school kid as well going towards his bush too get change.

After they were fully dressed and change, they went ahead and met up with Kimimaro for their Taijutsu practice as well seeing that Kurra was correct, Kimimaro looked like he did a lot better in the obstacle course considering if his smile were anything to go by?

He did great though there were still signs of burnt marks here and there on the boy's body, as well slight bruises here and there near his legs. The boy after meeting up with them was blinking his eyes a bit, feeling something different about the two.

Sure he was proud to hear how they figured out the secret behind the two poles, as well using the Chakra concentration to slightly stopping themselves from falling into the lake, including dodging a lot better with the projectiles.

Only for that their chakra seems more…brighter than usual, definitely Haku who was smiling none stop after the three of them approached Zabuza for today's Taijutsu as he leaned in and whispered into her ear "Hey Haku?"

"Yes Kimimaro?" She replied with a happy smile and tilt of her head, seeing the confusion from the boy as well knowing what he is probably going to ask of her.

He blinked his eyes at the way she was smiling and couldn't help but think something good happen for the girl. "Well I was going to ask if something happen, only to get my answer with your smile. So what happen tell me?" He asked with a little impatience as well wondering what got her in such a great mood.

She wiggled her nose a bit all the while blushing as she bashfully rubbed her foot on the ground, "I can't really explain it really, you know about what me and Naruto have to train in right?" She asked as well seeing the boy nodding, he knows about the whole getting undress part of the training.

Since he too despite already being self-taught, Naruto and Haku's mothers still wanted to keep the boy reflexes up to snuff, knows about being left nothing but in his boxers, so Haku doesn't need to explain about her and Naruto doing the same thing as him.

"Well-well after getting done and bringing extra pairs of clothes too change into." In turn made Kimimaro snapped his fingers as he should've thought of doing that and had Haku giggle, "Don't worry we did the same mistake the first time. Any way…the weights being heavy and all…I, well couldn't really get my top around my chest and asked Naruto to help me." She then let out another happy giggle getting Kimimaro to smile a bit.

"Come on don't leave me hanging what happen next?" He actually haves a good idea of what happen next, although wasn't sure if Kushina and Usari neglect to explain Naruto and Haku about the differences between a female and male?

"Well…his hand sort of touch my chest and it felt…really good for some reason and I can't help but feel really happy about it as well I…" She then lightly tapped her fingers together as Kimimaro tilted his head and then brighten up.

"Oh I get it you gave Naruto a thank you kiss for helping you…did you enjoy it?" He asked with a slight wiggle of his brows, laughing when Haku playfully punched him and nodded her head. Facing down towards the ground as they approached next too Naruto who too was smiling with a blush.

Giving Kimimaro a good idea that he also enjoyed the kiss all the while seeing how trusting Haku was of telling him about their situation? No doubt in his mind that these two should definitely be together "Just like Guren said, Haku could not stop talking about Naruto-kun. All the while Naruto couldn't really stop talking about Haku-chan over the two years." He thought to himself as well planning on how these two should get together?

"Alright you three pay attention because I am not going to tolerate anyone who isn't focusing." Shouted Zabuza causing all three students to stand rigid as well looking at the man, who was going to be training, them in close range combat.

"Now you all know what to do today right?" He asked as he leered at the three ninja to be, who nodded their heads as they understood what they were going to be learning today. In which is learning how to defend and counter against Zabuza attacks, "Okay today lesson for you three is learning how to counter a Jonin class ninja's attacks." He started while charging towards Kimimaro without hesitation.

Causing the boy to constantly started hopping away from the first punch being delivered, while ducking underneath an leg sweep towards the head, as he then tried to counter by palm thrusting forward only to scream out in pain as well bulging his eyes when Zabuza right leg slammed right into his stomach.

Sending the boy flying backwards as well as tumbling and rolling on the ground, he was trying to recover from the heavy blow that he received from the kick that Zabuza delivered.

Zabuza then quickly grabbed onto Haku and Naruto's fists, as they were hoping to catch him off guard while he was attacking Kimimaro, only to then get slammed up against each other by colliding with their heads all the while screaming out when he proceeded to slam both their bodies onto the ground.

He then followed up by kicking Haku and Naruto in the stomach's, sending them flying towards where Kimimaro was as the boy was getting up, only to fall back to the ground after Haku and Naruto fell on top of the boy.

"Remember brats that in battle you can also use Subsatution to get away from deadly blows, but it costs chakra when doing so." He reprimanded them about how they weren't using that jutsu to get away from his attacks, than again he never actually told them they could use Subsatute.

"Water Style: Twin Water Dragon Jutsu!"

"HEY WAIT THAT'S OVER KILL!" Naruto shouted as all the three of them thrashing about from each other, trying to untangle themselves in time to escape from the water jutsu only to fail and turn their bodies around at the same time scream.

Inside the Uzukage office Kushina had both hands under her chin, looking over towards their little visitor that arrived earlier this morning, saying and reporting to the guards that he haves very important information he wanted to share with their leader.

Ao who was scouting around the time, felt suspicious of the new comers arrival as well the timing of coming to their village right after they finally gotten peace back into the village let alone got the repairs done and over with.

The red hair mother was about to speak only to blink her violet eyes and turn towards her window, seeing a big water geyser shooting up from the location of the park as well a collective shrilling screams as well.

"Ah come on Zabuza, I wanted you to use Great Waterfall jutsu not Water dragon. They won't be able to learn much if they don't have something chasing them." She muttered out causing the man to gulp in fear all the while chuckling lightly feeling sorry about whoever Genins that were training under one of the seven swordsmen.

"Now…It's been awhile and had gotten recent reports from the old bastard from the leaf village, of what happen three years ago. About the Uchiha massacre happening as well how Itachi went rogue and became a missing ninja. But I have a question?" She started while leaning against her chair, worrying about Mikoto and Sasuke's safety, considering the old fool didn't explain anything about their status.

Mei, Ao and Usari were all on edge as this new comer had proven he was the leaf village, as well possessing the Sharingan, than same Doujutsu eyes that casted a powerful Genjutsu on the Mizukage seven years ago for a long time and issuing out the destruction on all blood line ninja's and civilians.

The young teen felt very uncomfortable, he has a good feeling that he was not welcomed here at all. Let alone trusted considering he had heard reports from Itachi himself, that Madara started attacking Kirigakure or…Should he say Uzushiogakure now, three years ago.

Wanting to kill Kushina and capture the Three tails as well the nine tails. Knowing the woman in front of him is in fact the wife of the fourth Hokage, alive and kicking was still going through his thought process as well went toe to toe with Madara. Probably knows about the Sharingan being very powerful and dangerous.

"Why…why did Itachi attack and killed all of the Uchiha's?" She asked with slight worriment in her voice. "I mean it is kind of a shock to see that you alone, are alive", she paused as the boy removed his hat and showed jet black hair with one black eye showing hurt as well pleased that the Uzumaki's were alright as his red eye showed three tomoe in them.

"Shisui." Continued Kushina as the boy nodded his head in understanding, as well shifting his one eye towards the other three present in the room. Giving him very high level kill intent, he then looked back too Kushina and smiled.

"I too agree after meeting up with Itachi and telling him about the coup the Uchiha's were planning as well wanting him to take my eyes. I am as shock as you are that he didn't kill me…" He explained while stopping for a bit, as his eyes looked down at the desk.

"Coup…what coup, what were the Uchiha's going to do?" she asked with a raised eyebrow, hoping in all kami that Mikoto was not involved with anything that will cause a rebellion with the Leaf village. She would so hate to hear how she was involve with it as well losing her trust with her best friend.

"They were planning to overrun the Leaf village and take over as rulers. Fukaku the head clan announced it one night ago before Kirigakure went and fought against the Kaguya clan." He explained while lifting his head up with a stern look.

"It was all planned by a man name Madara Uchiha." He stated causing Kushina and Mei to widen their eyes in shock at this information.

"Madara that is impossible, he was dead after fighting against Hashirama Senju during the first great Ninja war." announced Kushina as she was told about the story, by none other than Mito Uzumaki the wife of Hashirama Senju as well the first jailor of the nine tailed fox.

"You sure it was that man, you could have mistaken his identity of being him?" Mei asked while approaching next to the chair that Kushina was sitting in, while the other two were looking at one another in confusion. Not sure who this Madara person is, but sounds of it he shouldn't be even remotely alive.

"Itachi and I confirmed it as he announced his name himself." Shisui confirmed with a firm nod as well breathing out a soft sigh, "He messed with Fukaku and all the other Uchiha's wanting them too break their bonds with the Leaf village and get the respect they deserved for over generations. THAT he broke in the first place many years ago." He explained while looking up towards Kushina.

"I don't know what his goal he had in mind at the time, but I am pretty sure he wanted to recreate the first ninja war again with the people in the leaf village. While all this was in motion, I went to confront Danzou and inform him about this information…only with a big price."

At this Kushina widen her eyes all the while growling, "He stole your left eye didn't he?" She confirmed it when Shisui nodded his head and continued to explaining how after he nearly escape from Danzou, as the man would stop the coup only in return that he gets both Shisui eyes.

After escaping and regrouping back with Itachi in a hidden hide out, he went and told the boy everything that was going to happen later that night as well explaining to him that he has to kill the Uchiha clan, "Of course to my surprise when Itachi told me that he couldn't kill them all and I asked why." He then shook his head with a smile.

Getting everyone there too blinked their eyes, "Only for him too telling me that a certain Hyuuga Heiress, after watching her using a Subsatute against her cousin Neji and stepping out of the arena in graduation year. Gave him the idea that, there are some decisions that you can still make." He then looked up at Kushina with a soft smile. Getting the mother too smile as well feeling slight tears coming to her eyes.

"He said that two certain people, despite one of them knowing and hearing about the coup. Will be left alive as well having somebody guide Sasuke through trouble times…Mikoto-san is still alive." He finished with a big smile, seeing the mother relaxing and letting out a huge breath of relief.

As well .lightly chuckling at how Hinata, gave the incense for Itachi's final decision of who should be left alive in the Uchiha massacre. Knowing that and been confirm that Itachi is now a missing ninja; there was still a problem of where Itachi went?

"Wait…he left you alive also, but for what reason?" She asked as Mei and Ao got tensed a bit, leaving a very confused Usari and Kushina too pondering why the dread level increased really high after the boy said…

"Madara Uchiha is forming a group known and called the Akatsuki, with only one goal in mind. They want all of the nine tailed demons in their possession"

Haku, who finally got home, was in her bedroom standing in front of her mirror. Just like yesterday all three of them were a wreck and had bumps, bruises and cuts littered all over their bodies as well Haku, having a slight black left eye, had it open half way as she was going through everything that occurred today.

Her and Naruto gotten a lot better with their reflex training, after they started putting the Chakra concentration into play, their combat skills slightly improved as well learning the basics of how to counter an attack right after performing the subsatution jutsu, even though it was hard to do.

Considering that Zabuza made it clear that their enemies will not give them light of day, to even move or react in time when subsatute out of harm's way. All the while teaching the three children on how to know when their enemy is about to strike them.

She wince as well started rubbing her right arm; from all the times she tried to block most of her sensei attacks. Regretting from blocking every single one of them, considering the man was much taller and stronger than her.

As well add in the chakra weights being in play, they were all pushing their limits just to react in time. After two hours was done doing combat training, with a very bad rank of D in Zabuza book. Saying he knows academy students who could fight better than them and walked off, yelling at them that they would do two hundred pushups as well the tree climbing exercise.

She will have to agree with Naruto on this statement and that is do their parents want them to die? She sighed out and decided to discard her torn clothes, preparing to go to bed for the night. As well take advantage of the two day weekend break they all got from Kushina announcing it too them after her meeting.

Before she went to get her night clothes, the girl stared at herself in the mirror. Remembering those weird feelings she felt when she had Naruto, help her put on her bra. Moaning from the contact his hands made with her breasts.

She was curious of what made her to do that, curious herself she struggled with every might with the weights on her arms. Raised them up and pressed her hands against her covered breasts, only to tilt her head and pursed her lips to the side a bit.

Not feeling anything abnormal like when Naruto touched them, until she moved her hands down against them that she quickly bit her lower lip and felt that sensation running through her body. 'It's the same feeling I felt when Naruto touched and pressed against them…' she thought to herself as she fully pulled her arms away.

Not sure what to make of it, the girl figure to experiment on this detail tomorrow once she starts hanging out with Naruto tomorrow. So grabbing a pair of pajama's as well getting tucked into bed, the girl went right ahead and started sleeping soundly as well smiling with light blushes.

All the while ignorant of the fact that the seals on her legs went from white too completely purple, while more tinges of that color appeared on her arms indicating that her training was progressing well for her speed, while Naruto's seals on his arms fully turn purple as well.

While for Kimimaro his arms finally turned Yellow while his legs were slowly changing from purple too green. Everyone training is doing great as well they can't wait too finally have that weekend break.

While for Kushina and the others is concern about this group called Akatsuki as well hearing that Madara is alive, is going out of his way to collect all nine tailed demons for what purpose they weren't sure, but one thing they do know. They have to make sure that their village will be ready for anything they will come up with.
