1I am very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very sorry that I haven't updated lately. I was in North Carolina for two weeks and had limited computer access and for the next week and a half I will have no computer access at all so I won't be able to have another cahpter up until then. But I swear that I will have one up as soon as I can after I have computer access . . . To repent for this horrible lack of deeds I give you a very short Omake. I had this written out for the beginning of the next chapter but I figured I could put it up. Again sorry and here it is . . .

Omake 1

- - - - - - - -

Kakashi stood in front of his sensei, Yondaime, in the Hokage's office.

"Sensei, if you don't mind me asking. Why exactly did you have Naruto start weight training just before the chuunin exams? You did know that I intended to nominate them, didn't you?"

"I did. You're probably wondering why I did what I did." said Yondaime with a grin on his face.

There was silence for a few seconds.

Kakashi spoke up. "You don't possibly intend to teach him that technique. You don't seriously think he is ready for that do you?"

Arashi continued to grin, "I think he is more than ready for it. I already sent word to Jiraiya. I want him to teach it to Naruto. I would do it personally but I know I won't have enough time with the chuunin exams and all."

"So I guess I won't be able to dissuade you on this. Are you sure you want Jiraiya to teach it to him? I probably could. I am able to do the technique."

"No its fine you should focus on Sasuke. He will need you to teach him how to utilize the sharingan better. A good question is, do you think Sasuke is ready for chidori?" asked Yondaime.

Kakashi was puzzled by how his sensei knew about his intentions to teach Sasuke chidori. Kakashi stepped back and pointed his index finger at Yondaime. "Are you still using that technique?! . . . And everyone calls me a pervert!!"

Arashi almost fell out of his chair at Kakashi's accusations. "Hey, Hey just because I use the Tomegane no Jutsu for information gathering doesn't mean I use it for anything perverted." Arashi was blushing madly by then. "Enough, would you just go do your mission I have a lot of paper work that has to be done!"
