"Hey Masaru wake up." Shinobu said as he poked Masaru's side.
"Go to hell." Masaru groaned and rolled to the other side.
"Please wake up." Shinobu begged. "I want to start the trip to the village hidden in the mist." He added.
"Guess I won't get to sleep in after all." Masaru thought as he sighed. The boys quickly dressed as they heard what was happening in the room next door.
In the room next door Anko was trying to get Kasumi up which was a hassle every morning. "Squirt it is time to get up." Anko said.
"Onee chan its early in the morning." Kasumi complained as she covered her eyes with the blanket.
"Get your ass out of bed." Anko yelled.
"Okay I'm up." Kasumi stated.
"I will meet you down stairs." Anko said as she left the room. Anko stopped in front of the next room and nocked. "Are you maggots up?" Anko asked.
"Yes Anko sensei." Replied Masaru.
"Hey Masaru how would Kasumi survive if she lived with Anko sensei?" Shinobu asked loudly.
"How the hell do I know and I don't care because they do not live together." Masaru replied.
"What did you say?" Anko asked as she had Shinobu in a head lock with a kunai against his throat.
"Nothing Anko sensei." Shinobu responded.
"Good I will meet you down stairs." Anko said and left the room.
"How the hell did she sneak into the room?" Asked Masaru.
"Didn't I tell you during graduation that Anko was psycho." Shinobu stated.
"Like I care." Masaru responded. "Let's go eat." He said as he left the room for the kitchen.
"Wait for me." Shinobu yelled after him.
Everyone ate their meal and discussed what was the agenda for the rest of the mission. "Anko sorry the mission is going to be long, but the money is not due for three days." Yuki began. "The trip will take two days from the house." Yuki added.
"It's okay." Anko replied. This gives me a chance to train my genin before we leave." Anko reassured. "I want to make sure they are ready for anything during the mission." She added.
"Excuse me Anko sensei what are going to learn in one day?" Kasumi asked.
"You maggots are going to learn how to walk on water." Anko replied. "There is a lot of water around us. so it is definite that you will have to battle on water." She stated.
"That is so cool." Shinobu interrupted.
"Shinobu do you have any manners." Masuaru grumbled.
"Right sorry Anko sensei." Shinobu said.
"Once you three are done eating meet me outside." Anko said as she left the room. The three genin finished what they were eating and left the house to go practice.
"So what do we do first?" Shinobu asked while looking at the water.
"First you need to remember the tree climbing practice." Anko replied. "The goal of the exercise was to get you maggots to start concentrating your chakra at a certain point. Now you also need to balance your chakra on a uneven surface." Anko explained. "You have one day to learn this." She finished after explaining how to walk on water.
"Kasumi watch me I defiantly can do this on my first try." Shinobu bragged.
"Watch out." Kasumi called as Shinobu fell into the water.
"Idiot you didn't balance the chakra right." Masaru told Shinobu as he walked on the water on his first try.
"No fair." Shinobu complained. "How come Kasumi and Shinobu can learn it right away and I can't?" Shinobu asked Anko.
"Well maggot since Masaru's chakra release is water it is easier for him." Anko explained.
"Kasumi's is fire so wouldn't it be harder for her." Shinobu asked.
"Not necessarily." Anko replied as she paused. "Shit how do I explain how Kasumi already knows with out saying she has a lot of experience. They know she was taught earlier then them, but not this advanced." Anko thought to herself.
"It was just because I am so gifted with talent." Kasumi lied with a smile.
""Wow you are so lucky." Shinobu said.
"Stop yapping and start practicing." Anko said.
"Okay." Shinobu replied.
"Anko I need to go into town." Yuki called as he came up to Anko.
"Okay, but I would prefer you go with Kasumi, Masaru and myself." Anko replied.
"What about Shinobu?" Yuki asked.
"He's still training and will be for awhile." Anko replied.
"We will be back shortly." Anko called over her shoulder as Shinobu practiced some more.
The group set off into town and were being followed by a ninja who was lurking in the shadows. "I can't believe these brats beat Sakon and Rega." The ninja complained. "Now I have to get the job done right." He sighed as he continued to follow.
Yuki went in and out of stores and homes collecting the money from the villagers to give to the mizukage. This lasted the whole day with out any mishaps and the leaf ninja had a lot of fun. The night started to come and before long the group went back to the house. The return home was quick and simple the group just had to go through a forest.
"Today was not so bad." Kasumi thought.
"Kasumi and Masaru when we get home I will fix dinner with Anko if you two could go get Shinobu." Yuki stated.
"Of course." Kasumi replied.
"I wonder if that idiot learned how to walk on water by now?" Masaru said.
"I hope he is okay." Kasumi said.
"Why he is such a pain?" Masaru asked.
"Even though he can be a pain he is a friend and is part of team Anko." Kasumi replied.
"True." Masaru agreed. "Ha that idiot just got friend zoned." Masaru thought with a triumphant smile.
"He also has a crush on Kasumi." Anko thought. "I wonder who she will chose." She continued to think as she looked around waiting for the ninja to strike. "When ever he engages us I will be ready." Anko thought.
