Chapter 11: Missions and Training.
Ukito watched the sun rise through half opened eyes and smiled. He looked over at Shinjin and Kairi, both asleep and resting against the safe area that Shinjin had sat up in a by the mouth of a waterfall. He stepped outside of the cave and stretched.
"God that was a drag!" Ukito yawned. "Good thing it's all over now."
"Did we pass?" Kairi held onto the wall as she stepped out of the cave and looked out over the waterfall. "It looks so beautiful."
"I never knew there was a waterfall out here." Ukito said sitting down by the edge of the small pound that the waterfall fell into. "It's amazing. I think I may have found a new napping place."
Kairi laughed as she sat down by her squad mate then looked back over her shoulder at the cave where Shinjin rested. "She really did a number on him. He's covered in blood."
"He fought hard and pushed her to her limit though." Ukito said reassuring. "He'll be fine Kairi, he's stronger then everyone I know."
Ukito and Kairi both sat and admired the waterfall for what seemed like hours until Felicia came from the woods. She didn't look like she was hurt at all; in fact she looked as though she had been resting all night. She adjusted her mesh top, causing Ukito to bleed from his nose slightly as the material revealed intimate areas of her breast that stuck out. Felicia finally readjusted her top and Jounin jacket and stepped forward pulling her dark red sunglasses over her eyes.
"Well done you fucking idiots." She said clapping and sitting down next to the confused Genin. "Not the way I was hoping you'd pass, but hey I'm not going to complain about results."
"We passed?" Kairi asked, her face lighting up. "DAMN STRAIGHT! BELIEVE IT! BEST SQUAD EVER!"
"You barely passed." Felicia said causing Kairi to fall backwards with pale eyes. "But a pass is a pass."
"What about Shinjin?" Ukito asked. "Have you sent help for him?"
"No need." Came Shinjin's voice from the cave. Ukito ran to the mouth of the cave with Kairi, to see Shinjin stretching and standing up. "I'm fine Ukito, but thanks for the concern."
"How in the world are you able to stand?" Kairi yelled punching Shinjin hard in the arm. "You're covered in blood for god's sake!"
"I'm a fast healer." Shinjin laughed removing his dark grey mesh shirt, placing it by his blood covered battle jacket. He then removed his black ninja pants and stood in only his dark boxers before Ukito and Kairi.
Kairi's face turned a dark red as she took in her squad mate. Shinjin was covered in chiseled muscles and small scars. The only articles of clothing he wore were his boxers and gauntlet over his right hand and forearm.
"What are you doing?" Ukito said as Shinjin stepped past his squad and towards his sensei.
Shinjin gave Felicia a small salute and stopped at the edge of the pond. "Celebrating," Shinjin admitted, "We deserve it. Who wants to join me?" Shinjin asked then back flipped into the pond crashing into the water feet first.
"Hell yeah we do!" Kairi yelled pulling her skirt off revealing pink and blue panties then removed her 'kill me' orange jacket and her under black shirt to reveal a matching sports bra that covered her still developing breast. She hobbled towards the pond then canon balled into the water landing next to Shinjin.
Ukito laughed. "You're both crazy you know that?" He stepped up to the edge of the pond and looked down at his team mates. "You don't even know what's in that water. No way am I jumping in there."
"Don't be a sour puss there Ukito." Felicia said taking her jacket off. "This is good exercise actually." She undid her belt buckle and removed her battle skirt to reveal mesh leggings that went all the way to her black panties. Felicia then removed her mesh armor top to reveal a matching bra that just barely hid her more than generous bust. She dived into the water and began to swim on her back causing her breast to float over the water.
Kairi watched their sensei then began to match her swimming pattern as Ukito quickly undressed down to his boxers and leapt into the water. "Hey sensei?" Kairi asked as she caught up to Felicia. "You did that on purpose didn't you?"
Felicia winked at Kairi. "A kunouchi has more than just her ninja skills at her disposal Kairi, trust me on that."
Kairi smiled as she turned beat red again and watched Shinjin and Ukito race from one side of the pond to the other. 'I have a feeling we're going to be a great team.' She thought as Shinjin stopped and stared over at her, he smiled and dove under the water and began to swim towards the bottom of the pond. Kairi took a deep breath and followed after him and they both stopped when they reached the bottom and swam around one another.
Shinjin swam close and took Kairi's hand in his own and smiled. Kairi smiled back and squeezed Shinjin's hand in her own. Shinjin let go of her hand, placed his feet sternly on the bottom of the pond and kicked off hard, sending him flying up towards the surface. Ukito began to swim up after him and Kairi pushed off also.
The three members of Squad Four leapt from the surface of the pond and all yelled and shoved their fist into the air as their Jounin rested against the fall wall and smiled.
Shinjin fell hard to the ground and looked up at his squad mates running up the trees only to fall themselves. Felicia stood atop of a very tall tree and sighed. She was wearing her dark red sunglasses and rubbing her temples with two fingers.
"For the love of all ninjas!" She shouted. "All you have to do is reach the top of the damn trees!"
"Easy for you to say you've been doing it for years!" Kairi yelled rubbing her back side. She stood up and grasped her Kunai again, she ran towards the tree and pulled her chakra into her feet and began to run up the tree only to reach the same spot she had during her previous run and fell back to the ground.
Ukito took a deep breath and looked up at the tree then at the ground. He took an extra step back and realigned himself with the tree. Ukito placed his kunai away and looked up at Felicia before taking off as fast as he could towards the tree. He placed his feet upon the tree and filled them with chakra and began to run up the side of the tree. He got nearly to the third highest branch before his chakra gave out and he had to use his kunai to slow his fall back down to earth. "Damn it!"
"Very good Ukito." Felicia said holding up her thumb. "At this rate, you'll reach the top of the tree in no time."
"What about the rest of us?" Kairi yelled as Shinjin sat on the ground staring at the tree before him.
"Well I don't think there has ever been a mother child squad before." Felicia said scratching the top of her head.
"EXCUSE ME?" Kairi yelled. "Stupid big breasted pervert." Kairi cursed as she took a deep breath. She backed up some and took off again at the tree. She ran up to the lowest branch and put her mark before jumping off the tree and back flipping to her feet again. "HA! Eat your words old lady!"
Felicia smiled and continued to watch her squad. Ukito was showing amazing skill in controlling his chakra control, no surprise seeing who his parents were. Kairi was showing less control, but amazing amounts, also no surprise seeing her family. The only one who seemed to lack was Shinjin. He had only made two attempts and after each one just stared at the tree. Felicia looked down to see that his marks were much further apart than Kairi's and Ukito's marks however.
'What you doing Shinjin?' Felicia asked herself. 'You got something cooking in that head of yours, but what?'
Shinjin stood up and stretched, his left hand dangled over the black gourd at his side. He looked down and thought about opening the gourd and using the sand to give his chakra an extra boost but quickly pushed the thought from his mind. He was going to get up that tree with his own ability, with no help. He took off towards the tree fast, causing a small dust cloud to kick up in his wake. He approached the tree and focused his chakra in to his feet and ran up almost even with his sensei but his chakra gave way as he made his mark.
"Wow." Kairi said watching Shinjin skid back down the tree.
"Show off." Ukito laughed.
Shinjin smiled and looked back up at the tree then sat back down staring up at the tree again.
"Mind helping the rest of us?" Kairi mocked sticking her tongue out at Shinjin.
"Wait to use your chakra until you're already running up the tree." Shinjin said looking towards Kairi, "And rest some between each run, it will eat up your chakra like no other just rushing the way you are."
"I've got chakra to last for days!" Kairi said defensively. "Believe it!"
"Believe what exactly?" Ukito asked from the top of his tree. Shinjin and Kairi both fell over after looking up at the tree.
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET UP THERE?!" Kairi yelled.
"Actually Shinjin's advice." Ukito said as he laid down on the limb and yawned loudly. "I'm going to take a nap now."
"You earned a rest for sure," Felicia teased Ukito causing his face to turn beat red and his nose to bleed slightly, "But not right now." She appeared on the edge of the limb he was resting and on and began to violently shake it causing Ukito to fall to the ground. "You can rest after the whole squad makes it to the top of the tree."
"We've been at for two days." Shinjin said defensively. "Ukito made it up so he should be able to rest!"
"Who's the sensei here?" Felicia asked causing Shinjin to look away. "What I thought. Now get back to work. All the three of you!"
Squad Four laid exhausted next to each other covered in sweat and dirt. Felicia stood over them yawning as she cracked her knuckles. They had spent the last two days doing nothing but small D rank missions back to back. This was their first time to actually rest as the busty brunette looked over their newest mission.
"Well looks like we're be leaving the village for this one." Felicia said as she scanned the scroll.
"Seriously?" Kairi's eyes widened and she shoved her fist into the air. "Alright it has to be a C or B rank mission!"
"It seems a group of wild dogs have been bothering some of the farmers on the out skirts of the village."
All members of the squad fell over and let out a loud moan.
"OUCH!" Shinjin said as he pulled a tooth from his arm. He tossed the tooth into his waist basket and laid out on his bed. His muscles were aching and burning from the non-stop back to back missions that he had been on with Squad Four.
He reached over to his discarded mail and found a letter written in deep red ink. Shinjin bolted up and tore the envelope open.
"Dear Son,
Yes it's me. You're uncle has told me how well you have been
doing there in the Hidden Leaf Village. I am so proud of you Shinjin.
I won't be up to make the trip for at least a few months, but know that
I'll think of you every day.
While I'm here though I'm going to help the Hidden Sand's ANBU
Black Ops to find the person, or persons, responsible for the decimation
of our clan! I assure you son we will have vengeance for has befallen our
family.
I hope to see you soon Shinjin. I can only imagine who you look
after all these years.
Love dearly,
Temari, Your mother."
Shinjin's eyes watered slightly as his face began to hurt from the smile on his face. His mother had awoke from the genjutsu. He fell back onto his bed and reread the letter over and over again.
"Uncle Gaara has been keeping his eye on me I see." Shinjin smiled and looked out his window over the large village. He ran his finger over the tattoo emblazed upon his skull and looked to the window to see that his hair had begun to grow back over the tattoo.
He walked to his bathroom and shaved the sides of his head and looked at his reflection. The red hair of his mohawk made his tattoo pop out even more from his skull and his dark eyes seem darker. Shinjin looked down at the scared flesh of his right hand then back at the mirror.
'You're the last one.' Shinjin told himself in his head. 'You are the only Yamamoto left. Make your life stand for something.'
Felicia looked through the window as Shinjin stared down at his right hand. She opened it and stepped inside the apartment causing Shinjin to look out in his bedroom.
"Sensei?" He asked stepping from the bathroom covering his hand with a small black glove.
"No need to hide that." Felicia stated looking over the apartment. "I've decided for now that during early mornings I'll be training Kairi one on one, Ukito in the afternoons after our afternoon missions, then you at night."
"There a reason for the one on one training?" Shinjin asked as he gathered up his gear for training.
"You all suck."
Shinjin froze at that statement and water dropped. He turned and looked at his sensei who was admiring the black sand that he kept in his bed room. He focused on the sand and caused it to reach up and lower the lid of the chest he kept it in.
"Showing off for beautiful woman are we?" Felicia mocked looking over her shoulder seductively. "Ninjutsus will get all the girls," Felicia closed her eyes and stretched her back, "Excited."
"Pervert."
"You're the one showing off." Felicia mocked.
"That is my person belonging," Shinjin said defending himself as he strapped his gauntlet to his right hand and forearm, "I like my privacy."
"I see that." Felicia said motioning to the multi locked door. "Eight different locks for one door."
"Safety first."
"Over kill, ever hear of it?"
"Are we going to train or what?" Shinjin strapped his black katana to his back and stared over to his sensei who smiled and stepped out from the window.
"Follow me Shinjin." Felicia said, her red eyes burning with intensity.
Shinjin followed Felicia into south grounds where the Squad had been put through their survival exercise. She led him to the small pound and waterfall that Squad Four had rested the day after the exercise and often came to rest after a hard day of missions and training.
"You want to know why you healed so quickly here?" Felicia asked as she walked over the pond gracefully.
Shinjin followed behind her. He was still getting use to the chakra control it took to walk over water but he walked sure footed just the same. "Never put a lot of thought into it actually. I just thought the side effects of the jutsus had worn off."
Felicia laughed loudly, her voice echoed over the water and waterfall. "This place is very famous around these parts actually. This is the same waterfall that the Lord Hokage and Sasuke Uchiha had battled back when they were children." Shinjin looked over at the tall trees that surrounded the peaceful area and then back at his sensei. "The fight was so intense that some of the chakra that the two radiated became a permanent part of the pond and waterfall. They have a small healing like effect on chakra related injuries."
"That explains why I was able to heal so easily then." Shinjin laughed as he leaned down and pooled some of the water into his hand. "It must have been one intense battle."
"It was." Felicia smiled as she looked up the waterfall. "Lord Hokage trained me here when I was little. Both of my parents died after Orichimaru escaped from Sasuke Uchiha."
"The second assault on the village by the Sound Village?" Shinjin asked.
"They were both Chunin and lead a small battalion against some of Orichimaru's failed experiments. The battle would have been worse if Orichimaru wasn't on our side to help fight off his experiments." Felicia turned and stared at Shinjin. "Lord Hokage took me in; similar to how he did you, and trained me personally. Taught me almost all of the skills he knew. He even taught me something I was told to keep secret unless needed otherwise."
"The Black Rasengan." Shinjin stared at his sensei and uncorked his gourd at his side.
"It's called 'Shadow Rasengan'." Felicia corrected, "Lord Hokage came up with it in case of another attack. Its nearly twice as powerful as the regular Rasengan."
"Why did he create it if he already had the Rasengan Shuriken technique?" Shinjin asked confused.
"The Shadow Rasengan cannot be manipulated the way that the Rasengan can." Felicia admitted. "Plus it can only be used alongside the regular Rasengan."
"So unless you know the Rasengan you can't learn the Shadow Rasengan?" Shinjin asked again.
"I didn't say that." Felicia smiled. "I said it has to be used alongside the Rasengan. One person can use the Rasengan and another can use the Shadow Rasengan."
"Why learn the Shadow Rasengan without knowing the Rasengan?" Shinjin had a hard time following what his sensei was telling him. "If you teach me the Shadow Rasengan then I wouldn't be able to use unless I'm in a battle with you, Hinto, or the Hokage."
"You think we're the only ones who know it?" Felicia laughed. "You forget you have the Hokage's daughter in your squad."
"Kairi jokes about knowing it but has never actually used it." Shinjin said laughing. "She's not disciplined enough to know it. Is she?"
"Kairi has been using the Rasengan since she was eight years old." Felicia said.
"WHAT?!" Shinjin yelled and fell down into the water.
Shinjin laid his jacket over a tree branch and shook himself dry as best he could as Felicia continued to laugh. She was hunched over a tree branch and was grabbing her gut laughing at the top of her lungs.
"You're such a dumb ass!" She shouted.
"Shut up." Shinjin said as he wringed out his shirt. "It's your fault; you told me that and expected me to keep from falling in?"
"A ninja should always be prepared for the unprepareable." Felicia stated standing up whipping a tear from her eye.
"That makes no sense."
"It doesn't have to; I'm your sensei so just go with what I say." Felicia smiled and started popping her knuckles. "Are you ready to train now?"
"Are you crazy?" Shinjin asked. "Half of my gear is down at the bottom of the damn pond, and my black sand is matted together from the water."
"So yes then?" Felicia rushed forward and formed the Rasengan in her right hand. She skidded to a stop by Shinjin, who formed a wall using what little black sand he could, and fired the Rasengan into the wall causing it to fall apart.
Shinjin backed away slightly and formed a hand sign. "Wind Style; Great Breakthrough Jutsu!" A large wind pushed up and caused Felicia to get pushed back slightly. "Earth Style; Head Hunter Jutsu!" Another Shinjin popped from the ground and attempted to grab Felicia's feet.
"Ice Barrage Jutsu!" Felicia yelled as ice shot from her hands and froze the sand clone solid.
"Ice style?" Shinjin stepped back and felt his right arm tingle. 'If she knows ice style then she most likely knows some water style to go along with it. I'll have to keep my sand away from that.'
Felicia rushed forward and started slashing and striking with her kunai as Shinjin ducked and dodged each of her strikes. He ducked under her and slid behind his sensei. He placed his palms on the ground and focused his chakra.
"Earth Style; Boulder Shackle Jutsu." Stones erupted from the ground and incased Felicia's arms and legs in stone. Shinjin back flipped until he was staring at his sensei. He did a quick motion of hand signs and the black sand began to swirl around his hands. He held out his left hand and right hand in the typical style, his left hand's ring and middle finger extended and his right hand's index and right finger extended, with his right placed before his left hand. "Yamamoto Secret Technique One; Black Sand Dragon Jutsu!" Shinjin placed his left hand down and fired the black sand from his right palm.
Felicia quickly broke the bonds of the Boulder Shackle Jutsu and formed the Rasengan, then quickly formed the Shadow Rasengan. "I've seen this trick kid! Double Break! Rasengan Shadow Strike!" Felicia leapt forward and rammed both Rasengan and Shadow Rasengan into the face of the black sand dragon. As the dragon imploded Shinjin leapt from the mouth of the dragon, his arms and legs coated in the black sand.
"Yamamoto Secret Technique Two; Black Sand Strike." Shinjin rammed his sand covered fist into his sensei's stomach then swept her feet from under her and flipped, causing his legs to slam up into her back sending her flying into the air. He leapt high up and over Felicia and brought his knees up to his chest. "DRAGON STOMP!" Shinjin yelled as he brought his feet down into Felicia's stomach and crashed her to the ground. Shinjin back flipped and watched as the shadow clone he had been battling disappeared. "You've got to be kidding me!"
"You think I would actually let you get me with that strike?" Felicia asked as she stepped from the cave that was at the mouth of the pond. "You're good Shinjin, and you know it. You're confident, but not over confident. But you let emotions drive you; you need to calm down when in battle. If you want to learn the Shadow Rasengan you will have to stop with the brash fighting style. You focus too much on the black sand, you have other jutsus, the Great Break Through, Head Hunter, hell even the Boulder Shackle are incredible jutsus." Felicia approached Shinjin who stood there listening intently. "You want me to teach you how to control those I will, if you control those, then controlling the Black Sand without suffering from the after effects will be no problem for you."
"You can teach me how to control all this?" Shinjin asked.
"If you'll trust me."
"You'll teach me the Shadow Rasengan?"
"If you learn to control your emotions." Felicia answered. "You have incredible skills Shinjin. Your family is famous around the Wind Country and here in the Fire Country. Mind you they're famous for reputation only, not name."
"If it was by name, I'd have been killed years ago." Shinjin joked holding out his hand to Felicia. "I trust you Felicia Sensei."
"Good." Felicia grasped Shinjin's hand and shook it. "We start your real training tomorrow night, get home and rest."
HOLY CRAP! Yes that just happened! Alright folks you know how it goes. Tell me what you think, keep it respectful. Also, still looking for earth style jutsus for Shinjin, even if you have some you've come up with let me know about them, will only use them if you agree to let me, post in review or pm them to me. Little spoiler coming up, a big mission is on the way, followed up a bigger mission!
