Naruto sat, cross-legged, in between Rin and Kailua, learning more medical ninjutsu as his team did missions. "Olay Naruto, now, you have to focus on the worst point of the wound, and then work your way down." Kailua sighed. She's not the most patient person in the world, but she was a really good teacher, when she had a good student.

They were healing an injured rabbit. And Naruto complied to what she told him. After a few tries, he finally got it and Rin and Kailua smiled as Naruto punched the air. "Well done, Naruto-kun." Rin congratulated as they packed up for the evening.

"Thanks Rin-Neechan!" He grinned as he sat down in the grass and leaned on his elbows.

The two ANBU joined him and they talked for a while. "You know... You're improving at an extrordinary rate. You've got the skills of at least a low Chunnin level medic and you just started last week..." Kailua nodded, looking up at him. "Have you been training extra?" She intrigued.

"Yep!" He chuckled. "I figured out shadow clones." He chuckled and they just gaped at him.

"So that's how you've improved so quickly through medical ninjutsu and everything else!" Rin smirked. "I always knew you had potentail. Now, all you have to do is use it." She and the other two laughed as they finished packing.

"Come on Hinata!" Kiba groaned as he, Shino, and Akakmaru watched her continue to pound on the post.

"J-Just five m-more minutes!" She said, keeping focus on the post.

"Hinata..." Kiba groaned and Akamaru barked in agreement. "We've got to go Hinata..." He sighed. "I'll see you tomorrow when we meet with the team." And with that, Kiba and Akamaru started to walk off.

"G-Good bye." She nodded and continued her pounding.

"Good bye Hinata." Shino said and walked away.

"G-Good bye." She said and continued. By the end of the day she was sitting in a meditative position, trying to increase her range of sight with Byakugan.

Naruto was sighing the night away as he walked into the sunset and towards training ground 16. He arrived and nearly did a nose dive when he saw Hinata sitting on the ground. He quickly hid behind a bush when she turned to look towards the slight noise he made when he saw her.

"That's odd." She commented softly, turning back to the front. Naruto sighed silently for the thousandth time that day. Then, suddenly, his face felt hot and he knw he was blushing at the sound of her soft, angelic voice with out the stutter. He bit down, hard, on his lip because he knew that if he didn't he'd gasp. In what? He had no idea...

He watched as she jumped to her feet and began practising her Jukken stances. He sighed out loud when he found his resolve to come out. "Hinata-chan?" He asked, walking into the open.

She turned and turned a deep scarlet and fainted after letting out a soft 'eep'. He ran forward at an impossible speed and cought her before she leaned back even an inch backwards. He blinked in surprise as he slowly lifted her to the ground. He was nearly twenty yards away from her and he had her in less than a second?! He shook his head and shook her gently.

"Hinata-chan? Are you okay Hinata-chan?" He shook her lightly and she stired. "Hinata-chan? It's me, Naruto." He said, and she turned an impossible shade of red as her eyes snapped open and her white orbs stared up into his azure ones.

"N-N-Naruto-kun." She said softly, turning even brighter, causing him to blush slightly, only serving to make her faint once more.

"Hinata-chan!" He groaned and shook her gently till her eyes fluttered open once more.

"N-Naruto-kun?" She asked nervously, he nodded. "W-W-What are you d-doing o-out here s-so l-late?" She stuttered, sitting up slowly.

"It's not that late." He countered. "Besides, I was coming here to train when I saw you and..." He blushed slightly. "And I watched you practise your Jukken style for a few minutes and when I called out for you, you passed out. Then I woke you up and then, after saying my name, you passed out again." He turned a brighter shade and she felt faint. He noticed quickly. "Don't faint again!" He said quickly.

Her blush was ten times intense as she nodded. "A-Ano... D-do you w-want t-to tr-train... f-for awhile?" She stammered and blushed again when he turned a slightly darker shade of red.

"S-sure!" He stammered back. What was wrong with him?! This was Hinata, his friend Hinata-chan! Why did he keep getting these stirring feelings and blushing deep shades?! Those were his demands as he hopped to his feet and reached down to help her up.

She hesitantly took his outstretched hand and allowed him to pull her to her feet. "T-Th-Thank you." She stuttered, brushing herself off.

"So..." He started.

"..D-do you w-want..." She bit her lip, thinking for something to say.

"Do you want to... spar?" He offered.

"O-O-Okay." She nodded and he hopped back. "D-D-Don't hold back!" She stammered.

"Okay." He nodded and got into a stance. "Rules?" He asked.

"Um... o-only tainjutsu?" She asked.

"Okay, no jutsu, only taijutsu. Neither of us can use our Kekkie Genkai?" He asked.

"O-Okay, Naruto-kun." She nodded, feeling more confident at the minute. Naruto, her Naruto-kun, was consulting her for the rules, he was training with her! She blushed slightly and got into a Jukken stance.

"We can start in two seconds." They stood in the stances for several seconds before they circled each other. Unknown to them, they were being watched by his distant cousins, the Otonami family. They were curious of their cousin, he saved them and they heard of his prank, they wanted to know just how strong their family outside of Kiri was.

Naruto jumped forward and they began their taijutsu match. He kicked at her mid-section and she ducked under it, reaching out to kick him back. She managed to brush against his arm before he dodged and they began to go head-to-head.

She went for his shoulder with her fist and he went back onto his hands, using his momentum to pull his feet up and he fought on his hands and she swipped his left hand out from under him, he landed on the ground and had to roll out of the way to keep from getting an axe kick to the gut. He rolled to his feet and began a flurry of punches and kicks and she began to fight with more resolve. She was with Naruto, and he was taking her seriously! Her heart sped up and adrenaline rushed through her vains and she increased her force.

Naruto grinned at her as he began to notice this sudden change. He began to evaluate the situation as he blocked attacks and went on the deffensive. He switched to offense when he noticed it, her movements were too timed, too stiff for someone so flexable. He decided to use this to his advatage.

He did a flip over her next strike and began flowing around her. He ducked and jumped around her next few strikes, wanting her to realize it before she suddenly punched him in the face. He grinned as he stumbled back and then ran forward, he punched at her gut and she pushed his hand out of the way, this continued until he finally cought her arm and flipped her to the ground, both of them were panting heavily. He held his hand to her throat and grinned.

"Do you yeild?" He asked, touching her neck with his hand. He blinked, it was so wierd not having his sunglasses on when he was awake. They'd fallen off in their fight and he went and stepped on them.

"I-I yeild." She panted with a blush. He reached down to help her up and she took his hand with a deep blush that caused him to blush lightly as he pulled her up.

"You were great Hinata-chan." He grinned and she blushed at the compliment. "We should train together more often, how about tomorrow? Training ground thirty-two?" He asked.

Her face was so red you could spot it from space. "O-O-Okay N-Naruto-k-kun." She stammered.

"Oh, I think I have a way to help you in your Jukken style. You're great at Jukken, but you move more flexable, like water, but Jukken is like stone. Do you want to try it?" He asked, causing her to blush.

"O-Okay Naruto-kun." She stuttered, looking at her feet.

"Okay! We can work together to become stronger!" He grinned and then blushed slightly when he saw her smile, it was the prettiest he'd ever seen.

Hinata, seeing his blush, blushed ten times harder, only serving to make his mirror hers, thus succeeding to make her sway, feeling faint. "Don't faint Hinata-chan!" He said quickly.

"O-Okay!" She said, shaking her head to clear it.

After awhile they were walking to Ichiraku, Naruto had subconciously grabbed her hand, and she hardly even realized it, he was telling her about his Kekkie Genkai and new family members. The Otonami family and half of the Mitorashi clan offered to let him stay with them, but he told them that he could take care of himself for now.

"I-I'm happy for you Naruto-kun." She said softly.

"Thanks Hinata-chan!" He grinned at her, making her blush some more. He noticed the odd looks they were getting, some in confusion, some disgust, and others of shock. "Hmmm.... I wonder why they're looking at us, we've walked through the village together before." He commented.

She shrugged and they both notice something and turned bright red in the face. Naruto immediately pulled his hand away and Hinata let out a small 'eep' and looked down. They walked in silence for a while until they entered the ramen stand.

"Why are you two red in the face?" Ayame smirked and Naruto glared a her. "What happened to your glassed?" She asked him.

"They broke." He shrugged and he and Hinata sat down. "Order anything you want Hinata-chan, my treat." He said.

After they had both ordered, Ayame was chuckling as they got brighter and brighter with each comment. "Honestly guys, if you keep blushing like that every time you look at each other, I'd say you both like each other." To her enjoyment they glanced at each other and blushed tentimes harder, mirroring each other in color.

After a while Naruto put the money on the table and he and Hinata went their seperate ways. "See ya tomorrow at four, training ground thirty-two!" He told her and she nodded before the two teens walked in oposite directions.

When Naruto got to his cabin Kimi asked what he'd done that day and he sighed with a blush before telling her everything as he went through his new elemental control scrolls that the Hokage had given him on his request, the old man even gave him some of those paper from the trees that tell you your chakra nature.

He made a new storage scroll that he put the elemental stuff into the scroll for when he was ready to use it. He sighed and then put it with his stuff for tomorrow when he remembered what he said to Hinata about the way to improve her Jukken to her liking and ability. Maybe he'll use it during training with his 'team' and learn his elemental nature. He grinned and went to his sword, he'd start to learn it tomorrow, he traced his finger down it in admiration with a smile before going to his clothes chest and telling Kimi, who was lost inthought, to leave so he could get into his pajamas.

--- the next day ---

Naruto continued to try stances with his sword. First he'd learn basic kenjutsu, and then he'd combine it with his Uzumaki taijutsu style on his free time. Kimi sighed, wondering how he managed to balance out all his training and things, and groaned when she remembered, he doesn't get the strain from his shadowclones!

You have to go meet your annoying teammates! Kyuubi reminded him when he went into a trance as he tried out stance after stance of basic, everyday, kenjutsu.

He groaned and put his sword in it's sheith before going to get ready. He put his sword back on the wall, quickly wipped the sweat from his body, and got redressed. He grabbed the storage scroll with his elemental taijutsu stuf, and his scroll with his medical and seals book level four. He tied his Hiate around his head before setting out to meet his team.

He arrived twenty minutes late and his 'team' didn't even bother asking why he came late because he's had days where he'd arrived half an hour later than Kakashi. He sighed and sat down before taking out his book on the realm dragons and the realm sage, Sue.

He's read it several times since he got the scroll and he enderstood the whole thing, that was there, anyway. There was at least seventy-two blank pages and it ended on one sentence half way through.

'And she stood there, looking out to the sea, only to make a shocking discovery.'

He groaned, drawing attention of his teammates, but he ignored the looks they gave him. 'I wish I knew what came next!' He nearly chocked when Kyuubi growled at him and sent a lash of heat through him. He winced as she growled once more. 'Kyu-chan! What are you doing?!' He demanded with a groan.

I wish you'd stop reading about that f***ing Sue! She snarled at him. I already have to deal with enough problems as it is, and now you want to know what happens next?! Well... you have to wait for the book to tell you, so stop reading about that fool of a sage! Naruto winced and just wanted to kill something from his headache that she gave him.

"Naruto! What is wrong with you!?" Sakura screached, pulling him out of his internal misery.

"Itai!" He groaned. "Do you always have to screach and shout at me Sakura-baka?!" He demanded, still in a bad mood from his Kyuubi induce headache.

"Yes! Because you never listen to me if I talk nicely! Now why were you groaning and moaning in pain?!" She screached out her demand.

"Because I fell off a cliff!" He muttered sarcastically. "And you just turned the worst headache possible, ten times worse!" He scowled and put his scroll on Sue, the realm sage,back into his storage scroll.

"Don't blame your stupidity on her Naruto!" Sasuke smirked, only to be face to face with Naruto.

"No one asked for your two cents Sasuke-teme!" And he punched Sasuke in the jaw. Naruto walked back to his place at the base of his tree. "And I don't want another word from either of you!" He growled, taking out his book on seals.

"He's on edge today." Sakura whispered.

"I said quiet Sakura!" He barked darkly, causing them to both go quiet and Sakura to nod quickly. He'd never been so harsh before! He was really in a bad mood. They sighed and sat down on either side of him.

They sat in silence for nearly four hours before Kakashi showed up. He looked at them in confusion at the aura the area had. It felt... unusual to his team. "Did I... miss something?" He asked, eyeing eah of them.

"These two got yelled at by me harshlt and I told them I didn't want to hear another word from either of them." Naruto shrugged. "Do you have any Asprin Kakashi?" He asked.

"Here." Kakashi passed him a pill and they began their training. "Today, we'll be learning elemental nature." He heard Naruto sigh and sighed himself. "Let me guess, you've learned this, too?" He asked.

"No, but irony sucks!" He chuckled. "I was going to be learning it tonight, but now I don't have to wait!" He grinned.

"Oh, well that's nice to know... I guess." He took out four pieces of paper. "I want each of you to put chakra into one of these." He said, handing them one each. "Sakura, why don't you go first." Kakashi said.

Sakura nodded and did as she was told. It turned to dust. "Kakahsi-sensei, What's this mean?" She asked in confusion.

"You're earth natured Sakura." Kakashi looked at the boys. "Naruto? Why don't you go next."

"Sasuke can go before me, I already got my revenge." He said, trying to hide a luagh.

"Okay than. Sasuke, go ahead." Kakashi nodded.

Sasuke sent chakra to the paper and it burst into flames. "Fire?" Sasuke asked.

"That's right. Naruto, you next." Kakashi said.

Naruto nodded and sent chakra through the paper. It cut in half. "Okay you have-" The half Naruto still had cut inhalf again and then one turned to flame, the other went damp before part of it crumpled and a small portion of it turned to dust.

"Eh?" Naruto said in confusion. "Was that supposed to happen Kakashi?" He asked.

"No. But I see you've already got more than one nature so far. And it's all of them!" He exclaimed. He sighed in deffeat. 'Not even sensie could use all five of them!' He shouted at himself.

They stared at Naruto and he chuckled sheepishly. "What's it mean though?" He asked.

"Well... You're main nature is wind, which isn't very surprising seeing that it runs through both the Uzumaki and Namikaze clan. Your secondary nature is fire, which your mother had. Then, your third nature is water, then there's lightning and your weak point is earth when you use them." Kakashi explained. "But still," He shrugged, "you can still use them all easily since they're all a nature of yours."

"Cool!" Naruto punched the air in excitement.

"Okay, Sakura." The roset looked up. "I want you to take this pebble, and try to turn it to dust. No using your fingers, it must stay in the palm of your hand, and your palm can't close around it." Kakashi said, making a clone. "You two go to the post over there to work on the excersize." The clone and Sakura nodded before walking off.

"Sasuke, take this paper, and try to make it catch fire with out your jutsu." He made another clone and the two just set out. "And Naruto." Naruto looked up at him. "Since your main nature is wind, you'll work with wind for now. Take this leaf, and try to cut it in half." He made another clone and the two set away while Kakashi sat down and read his perverted book.

It only took Naruto a few minutes to realive that he needed it nice and sharp, so he experimented with his chakra. So after about ten minutes Naruto cut the leaf, clean in half. "Yes! I did it!" He shouted, tossing the leaf in the air as Kakashi's clone chuckled nervousl with a shocked expresion on his face. Kakashi walked over.

"Kakashi! I did it, I cut the leaf with the chakra like I was supposed to!" Naruto said cheerfully.

Kakashi examined the leaf and looked at Naruto in shock. "But this excersize even took my sensei, and Asuma weeks to get it! And they are the best wind users in the fire country!" Kakashi exclaimed as Sasuke and Sakura came over in curiousity.

"He already got it?!" Sakura and Sasuke demanded. "But we've only been working on these execises for fifteen minutes! He cheated!" Sakura shreaked.

"what part of 'keep your voice down' is so hard to understand!?" Naruto demanded. "The keep? the your? or the voice down?" He demanded sarcastically, glaring at her as he messaged his ears.

They all went quiet. "He didn't cheat Sakura." Kakashi said softly.

"How can you prove anything to us?" Sasuke demanded.

"I'll do it again!" Naruto scoffed glaring at the Uchiha. He walked up a tree and grabbed a leaf. "I'll just use my chakra to show the Uchiha up, how's that soud Sasuke?" He said in a smart assy voice.

"Hm." Sasuke grunted, Sharingan ablaze. Naruto put the leaf in between his fingers and closed his eyes. Two seconds later, the leaf was falling to the ground, cut clean in half.

"Was that enough proof for ya!?" He asked sarcastically.

"About." Sasuke muttered darkly.

"How about this then." Naruto said, rolling up his sleeve. "You can keep your mouth shut, and I wont have to hit either of you for accusing me of cheating." He muttered, suddenly having Sasuke by the collar of his shirt, much to all their shock. Since when could he move so fast!

Naruto was confused at the looks they were giving him, he was actually shocked that it only took a second to be where he was, but it felt longer to him, like it was natural. He let Sasuke fall to the ground and training went on with out insident.

And Sasuke and Sakura, surprisingly, hardly said a word through the whole thing, much to Naruto's amusement.

"See ya guys tomorrow!" He chuckled and began to walk off.

"I still don't know why you come to our team practises, but don't help with the missions!" Sakura said pointedly.

"I'm not aloud to till the Chunnin exams because I landed several Konoha nin in the hospital." He explained, still walking.

"You're lying." She accused with Sasuke.

"Suit yourselves. Because if you don't want to believe me, don't." He shrugged and disappeared over the horizan. It was almost four so he made his way over to training grounds thirty-two.

He got there with two minutes to spare and found Hinata asleep at the base of a tree. He blushed. She was so cute in her sleep! His eyes widened and he shook his head. No! This was Hinata, his friend Hinata! He can't think like that about Hinata!!! His tennat snickered and he blushed even more.

He moved forward and shook her gently. "Hinata-chan... Are you awake Hinata-chan!" She stirred and opened her eyes to stare into those deep, azure eyes she loved. She blushed.

"A-Ano...I-I'm awake." She said as he nodded and sat down next to her.

"I've got some ideas Hinata-chan, do you trust me?" He asked.

"Y-yes!" She replied, maybe too quickly because he blushed at her.

He grinned and unsealed his scroll that had his elemental stuuf. "Okay then, put some chakra into this paper." She nodded and did as told. It went damp. "You've got water elemental nature. No wonder why you're so flexable and have trouble with your Jukken...

--- to be continued ----

I'm not sure... but I think I'll have the next one up in about two days... Maybe less... then again... maybe more. But I'm betting on two days!!!
