Chapter 11
I was resting in the hallway I had used to enter the colosseum. The noise inside was getting lower as the crowd left. Not wanting to be mobbed I waited for everyone to leave. While I waited I used medical chakra to heal myself and turned on my clothes cleaning seals (yes, cleaning seals and they are best thing to have if you don't want to smell like a pig after a fight.). Thanks to the clones I was barely hurt but Guy did get some good hits in. Guy and the others had already been taken to the hospital. I wasn't worried about them since I didn't do anything that they wouldn't heal from. Once I was back to normal and clean I used the small seal I put on all my weapons to summon them back to their scrolls. I didn't want to leave the weapons I used on the colosseum floor. It was after everyone had left that the Hokage appeared at the entrance I had used to enter the battle ground.
"The fight you and the others put on will be remembered for a long time to come. "Hiruzen said as he walked to me.
"As well as shutting up anyone who thinks I am not a Senju. The fact that I used the wood style should be proof enough. Were you able to capture any spies while I was fighting?" I ask.
"My Anbu were able to catch a fair number of them but I fear we were not able to get them all. You're coming here has helped us round up more spies then I thought we had but it also showed that we need to tighten our security" Hiruzen said.
"You said some got away. Is there anyone we should worry about?" I ask.
"Almost all the ones that got away were marked down as a possible spy before you got here but we had no proof that they were so I had them watched by my Anbu in case they made a move. However there was one that did stand out. A Genin by the nameKabuto Yakushi he was the only one we had no idea was a spy. Had he not left the village we might never have known." Hiruzen said.
"Was there any clue as to who he was working for? I asked. I knew who he worked for but I didn't think it was a good idea to say so.
"No, but I will find out soon enough." Hiruzen said.
"Well, I'll leave the spy hunting to you and Aubu. Is there anything you would like for me to do before I head off I have to go to the bank and find the real estate office. "I said.
"There is one favor I would ask of you. From what my medical ninjas said the Jonin you defeated will be in the hospital for about a month. This leaves their teams without a sensei. I ask that you train them for the time being until their teachers come back. " Hiruzen said.
"Unless you had a mission for me I have time on my hands. So training them of a month should be fine. It should give me something to do while I get used to living here. Tell them to meet me somewhere at 3:00pm. That should give me enough time to get my stuff done since it barely one. Just don't tell them it's me I want to surprise them. The look on their faces will be worth it when they find out I am their teacher. " I said with a grin as we walked to the exit. The Hokage handed me a map as we stepped outside.
"This map will help you find your way around. The teams will meet you at training ground seven. I am placing a lot of truth in you since almost all the teams have clan heirs. They will become a big part of our village government in the future so do your best to look after them." Hiruzen said.
"I won't let you down Lord Hokage." I said. The Third gave me a nod and walked off. Once he was gone I read the map and found the places I was looking for. (I already knew where everything was but I put on a show to fool the Anbu watching me.) As I walked to where I was going I got a few bows and hellos from the people I passed. I wasn't paying them much attention because my mind was elsewhere.
I don't think it would be this soon that I would be helping Naruto and his friends. I thought I had a few more days before I had to deal with them. I knew Naruto would come looking because we come from the same clan, Sasuke for power and Hinata for saving her in the past. I was sure the Third would have picked someone else who has lived here longer and not someone who has been here only a day and a half. This was too easy to be luck. Kami most be helping things along.
My head was back in the game by the time I got to the bank. I was hoping to get out fast but because I had so much money it took the bank forever to count it so I had to send a clone to real estate office. When asked why I never counted it before I said I only count my money when I get paid for a mission just to make sure I was not being cheated but once I was sure it was right I just put it way until I needed it. By the time my clone came back with a book on houses for sale the bank told me I had made over 756 million ryo. (Not bad for 13 years of back breaking labor.) After all my money was safely locked away and I threatened the manager that should he lose my money I would cut off his balls and feed it to him I left. Checking my pocket watch I had fifteen minutes left before I had to be at the training ground. I press the button on my watch to see how much time I had before the next event. It said six month left before the exam in the leaf. My best hope for making it through this event was by make all the teams stronger than they would have been before. Closing my watch I used a snow Shunshin to meet the teams on time.
I made it with time to spare and concealed myself in a tree to read the book on houses while I waited for the others to show up. I had just found a good house when Naruto and his team appeared. A few moments later the other teams appeared as well. Wondering what they were going to say to each other I stayed in the tree and listened.
"Hey Sasuke-kun, how it's going, did you miss me?" asked Ino as she threw herself on Sasuke's back.
"Ino-pig gets off Sasuke-kun he's mine." Sakura yelled giving Ino a glare for putting her hands on Sasuke. Sasuke stood there with indifferent look on his face.
"Troublesome, Naruto were you and your team told to meet your replacement sensei here as well?" asked Shikamaru.
"Yeah, the old man told us to meet our new sensei here since Kakashi sensei got his butt kicked and won't get out of the hospital for a month. What's wrong with Hinata?" Naruto asked see Hinata with a far off look on her face.
"She had that look on her face ever since we meet up with her after the battle at the arena. She won't tell us what wrong. Anyway did you guys see the fight at the arena? That was awesome." Kiba shouted.
"That was a cool battle and the sword that Senju had was beautiful I hope he lets me see It." said Tenten with stars in her eyes.
"And you are?" Shino asked pushing up his sunglasses.
"My name is Tenten and I am part of team 9. This is Rock lee and Neji Hyuga. Were here for the same reason as you." said Tenten.
"Speaking of our teachers I wonder where they are. They all can't be late." Neji said.
"Don't tell me we all have teachers like Kakashi sensei." Sasuke said while shrugging Ino off his back. He sounded impatience.
Hearing enough I jump down from the tree. They were all astonished sudden appearances. Seeing the look on their faces I give a small bow. I turned to Sasuke.
"Don't put me in the same league as someone who would be late for his own funeral. Kakashi is famous for both his skill and lateness. I was here the whole time just waiting for all of you to come. My name is Haruki and I will be training all of you until your teachers heal. So take a seat on the grass and tell me all your names and goals.
(Note: most of you know their names and goals already from manga and anime so I'm going to skip a head.)
"Now before I start your training I need to get the feel of your skill set. So each of you will spar with one of my clones for the next 30 minutes, so spread out so you all have room to move around and you are free to go all out so hold nothing back." I said as I made 12 shadow comes. Once all the teams had paired off with a clone I unsealed a clock and set the time.
"Ready?" I shouted. All the teams get into a fighting stance.
"Hajime" I shouted. I leaned on a tree as I watched them fight.
As I watched the battle I could see what they were strong and weak at. All my clones did while being attacked was dodging, blocking and counter attacking. None of my clone used any jutsu. By the time the bell ring all the teams were on the ground breathing hard. After dispelling my clones I got all their memories and how they felt about the person they fought. Once everyone caught their breath I called them over to sit in front of me.
"Alright, after what I have seen I now know how to train each of you. Most of you rely on your clan fighting styles or what you learned at the academy to much so from now on I will teach each of you a different style that works with your body type and mind set. I know most of you believe that your clan style is the best but it never hurts to have something else in case your first style fails. I will also teach you the shadow clone jutsu as the memories of the clones go back to you once they dispel helping you learn faster and before you say only a Jonin can use it I have a special seal that will give you the power to pull it off. The clones will spend their time working on chakra control exercises and some jutsu that I will give to each of you while the rest of you can focus physical training. All of you will wear resistance seals but Lee who has weights on his legs. The seals will help work out your whole body. All of this will start tomorrow 8:00am on this training ground so make sure you eat a full breakfast and no dieting. If I find out you're dieting behind my back I will put you in a genjutsu and make you walk the whole village in your underwear. Am I clear?" I barked.
"Crystal!" everyone yelled with Ino and Sakura sweating.
"Good, now I brought some food to share with you for lunch. While you eat I will tell you what your weaknesses are and how to improve." I said as I unsealed five pizza boxes and passed one to each team.
"What is this?" Choji asked with drool coming out of his mouth.
"I call it pizza. It's a special food I can make. I have a few seals that have different types of precooked food in them. The seals keep them in whatever state they were sealed in. so if I ever have to go on a long distance mission I have all my favorite food with me and not have to cook." I said with a smirk. (I learned how to cook all my favorite foods before coming to this world since I knew they wouldn't be here.)
"You should sell this seal to the village. Most ninja hate the food pills. I know my family will want them and the recipe for this pizza as well." Choji said while eating a slice of pizza.
"I will start selling my seals as soon as I stockpile enough of them and the pizza recipe will stay with me. If I ever open my own pizza restaurant I would make a killing since I lone know how to make it." I said with ryo signs in my eyes. Everyone sweat drops.
"Ok, enough fooling around. Tenten your first." Getting the girl's attention I continue. "By the way you fought I can tell you want to be a weapon mistress. Your close range and mid-range weapon skills are sharp but your long range weapons skills are a problem. You have good aim but should you ever meet a strong wind element user your weapons will be blown off like nothing. To make for this I will teach you how to use chakra strings so you can control the way you weapons move in midair and this." I said as I unseal a bow, quiver full of steel arrows, gloves and a pair of red goggles. I passed them to Tenten.
"What you're holding are weapons I used to take out targets from far away. The bow and arrows are made of chakra metal. You use it by storing chakra in the bow and arrow. Once their charged they will let you shot an arrow that will move at sonic speed that no wind user can block. The goggles have a seal on them that makes them act as a scope (think Deadshot's eye wear from DC comics). They can help your aim when shooting from far away. The gloves are reinforced with seals to help with the recoil when you shot as well as act as a storage seal for your gear and can summon them back to you if lost so be careful not to lose them. Now the fighting style I will teach you is called Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It's a grappling and ground fighting style. Brazilian jiu-jitsu emphasizes getting an opponent to the ground in order to use ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks and chokeholds you will learn this starting tomorrow." I said as she sealed her new weapons into her gloves.
"Thank you sensei, I will take good care of them." Tenten said. I turned to Lee.
"Lee, since your focus is on taijutsu only I will add weights to your arms and waist. To make your training harder as well as Improve you're punching speed. Your Strong Fist style is to cause external damage and to break bones so I will teach you boxing. It a style focused on punching. You already have a lot of leg skills but you're weak when it comes to hand skills. There are three types of boxers: outside fighter, brawler and Inside fighter which type you are we will find out as we go along." I said
"I will use the power of youth and hard work to master this style in no time." Lee said as he gave me thumbs up.
"Neji and Hinata your clan is known for the Gentle Fist. The Gentle Fist is the most reputable and fearsome taijutsu style known in all of Konohagakure but even with it you two were unable to hit me. The reason is because your clan has no kicking skills. I spent the whole spar watching your hands. So for the next month we will focus on how to channel the Gentle fist into your feet. So you both will learn how to make a Gentle Kick." I said.
"It has never been done before. I don't think it's possible." Neji said.
"The elders of our clan will be against this. They already believe our fighting style is the best and has no need for improvement. They are the main reason why the members of my clan never learn a different fighting art." Hinata said.
"Then we won't tell them. If they ask just say I am making you stronger and faster. If it works your clan becomes even more powerful and if we fail no one will ever know. Besides no one has ever seen a Hyuga use their legs before. It would catch most people off guard." I said.
"Kiba, you have speed and power but your reckless and have little to no battle sense. During our fight you rushed in without thinking who you were fighting. You saw me beat five Jonin I would have thought that would have made you pause for a second but you came at me head on without thinking. So I will teach you strategy. Your new fighting art is called Dog Kung Fu it is used for takedowns, joint locking and ground fighting."
"I won't let you down sensei." Kiba said.
"Shino, you are the opposite of Kiba. You have a good head on your shoulders but have little fighting power without your bugs. So I will focus on bring up your physical strength. Your fighting art is called the praying mantis. Praying Mantis is a combination of a set of sophisticated deflections, counters, and grappling movements. The fundamental strategy of Praying Mantis is to wait patiently for an opening then tie the opponent's arms with a grappling technique and strike into soft areas and nerve centers. You're a very patient person so this style will work well with you."
"I see nothing wrong with your logic so I will do as you say." Shino said.
"Shikamaru, you out of your whole age group you are the most likely to be the first promoted to Chunin." I said.
Everyone turns to shikamaru as I say this. Shikamaru has a startled look on his face. I smile and keep going.
"It is because you have the best tactical mind of the group. What the higher ups of most villages look for in a Chunin is not only power but also a ninja who can come up with sound tactics that let them complete their missions with few problems as possible. You made go use of your environment when you used the shadows of the trees to make you shadow attack longer but you ran out of steam before you could catch me. So I will help you increase your body strength and chakra levels so you don't run out of power when you need it. You have the mind you just need the body. Your fighting style is called krav maga or contact combat. It's a style based on extremely efficient and brutal counter-attacks that promotes finishing a fight as quickly as possible."
"What a drag. I'll give this training my best shot sensei." Shikamaru said with a depressed look.
"That all I ask."
"Choji, you have power but little speed. We will spend most of our time building up your speed. Your new style is called Bajiquan. It's a martial art that features explosive, short-range power and is famous for its fist, elbow and shoulder strikes."
"Ino and Sakura, I hate to say this but both of you are the weakest members of your teams." I said.
Ino and Sakura look down in shame. Naruto looks like he is going to say something but I shut him up with a look.
"I'm not saying this to be mean but when we fought most of your punches and kicks had little to no real power behind them and you both tired out before time ran out. So I am going to do my best to help you build the muscles you need for this job and that also means you need to eat more protein. I know as girls you care about you looks but weak Kunoichi end up dead or worse. Ask Sakura about what happened to her at the land of waves Ino when she had to fight by herself. It wasn't a pretty picture."
Sakura tells Ino about the fight at the bridge, how she got her ass handed to her, had to be saved more them once and worse she lost not to a high level assassin that no normal Genin could beat but to a group low life bandits. She also told Ino what the bandits had planned to do to her once her team was dead. Ino looked like she was going to be sick.
"To make sure what happened at the bridge does not happen again I am going to work you both hard, so get ready. Ino your new style is Capoeira. Is a style is known for quick and complex moves, using mainly power, speed, and leverage for a wide variety of kicks, spins, and highly mobile techniques. Sakura your style is Tae Kwon Do. It is a style that uses an arsenal of devastating kicks. Also both of you will learn how to use medical chakra to heal yourself and your teammates. Use this month to make yourselves stronger."
"Hai sensei, we won't let you down." Ino and Sakura said in union with flames in their eyes.
I turn to Sasuke and sighed.
"Sasuke, you have power and speed but you're too impatient and hot tempered. If something doesn't go your way you lose your cool. You lost your temper during our spar because you thought I wasn't taking you seriously. The moment that happened you started to make mistakes that you weren't making before. All an enemy would have to do is hurt your pride and you would rush in foolishly and get killed. You need to get your emotions under control. I will teach you how to meditate. This art will make it harder for enemies to get under your skin. Your new fighting style is the Leopard style. It relies on great muscular strength. The Leopard style employs many crushing techniques and a lot of internal strikes with the hands. It gets in close to do its damage."
Sasuke gives me an angry look before he sighs and nods.
"Naruto, you are by far the most unpredictable ninja I have ever come a cross and that is saying something." I laughed.
Naruto rubbed his head with a sheepish grin.
"You have no set fighting form but that is a good thing since it makes it harder to tell where you're going to strike next. You made good use of your shadow clones to try to take me down with numbers but you would have had better luck hitting me if you had some of your clones use jutsu while the rest kept me in place while they attacked. You need to better refine how you use your clones. I will show you how. Naruto the style you will learn is called Muay Thai. It uses the fists, elbows, knees, shins, and kicks. It is an up close and personal style. It should work well with you."
"With this training I will be one step closer to be Hokage." Naruto cheered.
"I hope so but I wouldn't wish the soul-sucking bitch known as paper work on anybody." I mutter to myself as I sealed up the empty pizza boxes to throw away later. I checked the sky and saw the sun was way lower than before and I decided to end things for today.
"I'm going to cut things short here for today. I want you all to get a good night sleep and be ready for tomorrow. Dismissed." I said. I watched most of the team pair off and head to wherever it is their going. The only ones still here were Naruto and Hinata.
"I knew you two were going to stick around." I said as I turned to Hinata.
"You changed a lot from the little girl I saved all those years ago." I said as she hugged me with tears in her eyes.
"I never forgot what you did for me or the words you said back then. Whenever I felt down or needed to motivate myself to keep moving forward your words always came back to me." Hinata said as I patted her head. We stayed like that until she calmed down. Once she was better I looked at Naruto.
"I bet you have a lot of questions for me don't you little cousin." I said with a smile.
"So you are related to me sensei?!" shouted Naruto.
"You can call me by my name when I am not training you and were related not by blood but by the fact that we both come from the same clan and if you want I can tell you about what our clan was like as I look around the village and we can have dinner later. Hinata, you can come to if you want." I said. They both nodded and followed me as we left the training ground.
For the next few hours I tell them all about the Uzumaki clan. Naruto takes it hard when I tell him about the fall of our homeland but he perks up when he learn that there are still Uzumaki out there and all he has to done is keep an eye out for any red heads. Since most of us are born with that hair color. When night falls I say good bye to them and that I would see them in the morning before heading back to my hotel room. To be on the save side I have a clone open the door to my room in case if a trap seal is put on it. When nothing happens my clone walks into the room and checks inside. A moment later he comes back out and gives the all clear that it was safe to enter before dispelling. I Close the door after entering then check on the clones I left behind earlier.
"Did I miss anything?" I ask my clones.
"Danzo found out where we were staying and sent his Root to booby trap our room. We sent them packing in a way they won't forget." The clones said with evil smiles.
"What did you do?" I asked amused.
"We didn't do much besides beating the shit out of them, sealing their chakra, stripping them naked, and writing Danzo's bitches on their butt cheeks and throwing them in a dumpster full of week old trash." the clones said in union. We pause for a second then burst out laughing.
"Do you think you guys can last the rest of the night or do I need to make some new clones to stand guard while I sleep?" I ask while I wipe the tears from my eyes.
"I think we're just about out of chakra so you're going to need some new ones to replace us." A clone said before they all dispelled. After making new clones to watch the room I take a shower and got into bed.
"Well today was fun. The hard part starts tomorrow." I yawned as I turned off the light.
(Next time readers. Reviews need)
Note: I looked up the best fight styles online and tried to match them as best as I could to each person. I always felt that they could have been better fights if they were trained better. The next part will focus on the meeting new people and the beginning of the Chunin exam. If you have any ideas how to make this story better let me know as I need all the help I can get.
