Usagi let out a groan; they had been training for five hours straight! She didn't even think she could bend her fingers anymore much less make hand seals! It was then Naruto remembered his other favorite jutsu, one that did involve smoke and clothes, the kage bunshin. As such the training increased, as Naruto had informed her about the kage bunshin's nifty trick. Usagi couldn't care less if they were successful ballet instructors, she just wanted a break. Since they found out she had a rather large chakra storage they wanted to bring her to her limits. Now, if you lived a couple thousand years, dabbling both in magic and physical fighting and then combine the two, you would have large chakra storage too.

Kakashi looked over from teaching Naruto something when he heard her groan. She was still not tired from the excessive chakra usage, all though her fingers were getting tangled now. Kakashi absently wondered how she would fair against the Kyuubi just for the heck of it. However, since Naruto had just taught her the kage bunshin, she, the original could probably take a break. Before he could say anything, Naruto piped up.

"Nee-chan, we're hungry." He rumbled, causing Usagi to almost fall on her face.

"We're, who's we?" Usagi asked, wondering if her brother had a mental disorder.

"Me, my stomach, and Gamakichi." Naruto responded, Usagi absently wondered if his stomach was actually a convert way of referring to the fox.

"Gamakichi?" She inquired, and Naruto did quick hand seals, and slammed his hands down. A large cloud of smoke appeared followed then by a fairly large toad.

"Hey boss, we eating?" The toad inquired. Naruto watched his sister nervously, wondering if she was going to freak out about the toad.

"Uh, can he even fit into the house?" Usagi inquired causing everyone to laugh.

"I suppose I could shrink him a bit." Naruto responded. "Yeah, we're eating." He told the toad. Usagi looked at her brother as he stared smugly at her.

"I suppose you summon something too?" Usagi asked. Sasuke smirked, imitated Naruto and once again there was a burst of smoke and a large shadow. The smoke cleared, and Usagi sighed, it had to be a snake.

"Ro-daichi, say hello." Sasuke ordered. "Yes, I can shrink him." He added. Usagi sighed, and waved to the two new members.

"You guys picked the weirdest pets." Usagi offered, and then walked in to cook. She came back out twenty minutes later carrying two trays and about six floating behind her. "Dig in." She ordered, and Team Kakashi did except for Sai, she turned to the silent boy. "Go ahead; the invitation was to you as well." Usagi explained hoping the boy didn't feel left out. Sai nodded, snapped his chopsticks and proceeded to eat. "So, tell me something random about yourselves." Usagi chimed.

"You first Onee-sama." Sasuke challenged.

"Okay, I absolutely dislike carrots." Usagi said. Naruto and Sasuke blinked at her, thinking she might have been a bit of a health nut.

"I have four thousand, six hundred, and eighty-two fan girls in Konoha." Sasuke spoke up.

"You counted?!" Usagi exclaimed Sasuke just shrugged not willing to impart how he knew that information.

"I hated my long hair." Sakura spoke up, flipping a bang back to show her face.

"Hn." Sasuke responded glancing at the girl.

"I've actually had an apprentice." Naruto stated, smiling a little in remembrance.

"Impressive." Usagi chimed, their lunch was interrupted by two smokes as the summons had finished and decided to go back to their home.

"I like to draw." Sai said, and Usagi turned her head to him.

"Really, I had a friend who loved to paint." Usagi explained giving the quiet boy a smile. Kakashi currently had his nose in his book when everyone's attention focused on him, he glanced up. "I've seen you pull that book out a lot, what is it about?" Usagi inquired missing the looks of dread on her brothers faces. Amazingly though Kakashi shut his book, and gave everyone his patent eye-smile.

"Maybe I tell you some other time." Kakashi answered mysteriously. Usagi merely shrugged and continued staring at him. "I enjoy star gazing." Kakashi added, and that finished their little Q and A.

"Really?" Usagi smiled when she asked. "So do I, it's peaceful isn't it, though I tend to stare at the moon." She returned and then waved a hand sending the stuff back to the kitchen.

There peaceful afternoon was interrupted by a messenger appearing in a puff of smoke. He bowed offered a scroll, and then left just as fast. Usagi cracked the scroll open read over the contents and then dropped it with an angry sneer. "Those bastards!" Usagi growled, stood up and walked off. Sasuke picked up the scroll to read the contents out loud to the rest of the team.

"We the council have decided you will face three opponents, as there are three of us." He began and the group stiffened. "Your opponents are as follows, Shizune ; Jonin, Ibiki Morino ; Tokubetsu Jonin, and Danzo ; ANBU Root, Council." He read, and everyone growled at that. "You are to meet them at the arena, south side, Friday, and you are to beat them in a time limit and to a condition of unable to continue battle." Sasuke continued. "If you are unable to meet any of these conditions, you lose." He finished while incinerating the scroll afterwards.

"They are forcing her to fight Shizune!" Sakura growled out and Naruto looked down sadly.

"That's not the worst part, she is going to be forced to fight continuously and against greater opponents each time." Kakashi muttered.

"Onee-sama will be just fine." Sasuke's voice cut into the atmosphere. Naruto glanced up at his brother when he heard that and smiled brightly.

"She'll do it!" Naruto yelled, and then quieted. "Though I worry about her battle with Shizune." He added.

"Usagi-san will find away without hurting her." Sakura whispered.

"Lady, will be the one who conquers." Sai finally spoke up, at least his nickname was kind. Everyone turned to see what Kakashi had to say for wisdom when they found him gone…again.
