Author's notes: I forgot to put a disclaimer on my last chapter so I'm putting one here. Also I finished this fanfiction so now I just have to put all the chapters up... I really don't feel like putting them all up at once because I have another Idea for a fanfic that's bouncing around in my head right now, but I'm working on another writing project so I'll have to do it another time

Disclaimer for chapter 10 & 11 I do not own naruto in anyway shape or form. Probably not even in another dimesion. 'Nuff said

Chapter 11 Back again

The next day Zev was ready for training. Leta was glad to have him back again. Utsuha was too, but for a much different reason. "Can we do the speed training? Please?"

Osona knew how much Utsuha was training for this he had increased his speed almost ten fold. "Okay," she said she handed Zev the vest, "You know the drill." Zev prepped up as did Utsuha, "No kekkei genkai." Leta tapped Zev on his back.

"Don't make it too hard for him," She said, looking at her feet.

"I know sensei." Zev said. He looked at Leta, "What, are you saying I should take it easy on him?" he was barely ready when Utsuha rushed him. He ducked and bolted. He moved on all fours. Utsuha was a step behind him the whole time. He still didn't get a chance to tag Zev. Leta sat down next to Osona.
"I know you couldn't have tagged him." Osona said, she looked at Leta's hands she noticed only one hand had the powder. "You tagged him before it began!" She said, "That's using your head." Leta smiled.

They watched Utsuha's struggle to tag Zev, Zev still was having a little fun. Because Utsuha was so intent on tagging him, sometimes he didn't get a chance to stop when Zev turned, a few inches from the wall. Osona cut it short again. Utsuha walked up holding his nose. Zev walked in proud, "I know I wasn't tagged!"

"Check your back."

Zev groaned, he took it off and found the print. "How did…," he looked up at Leta, "Okay I give you a ten on creativity, but a zero on fairness."

"All's fair in love and war," Osona said, "So, Leta, where do you want to eat?"

"Hold on a sec, let's try this again," Zev said pacing out to the center of the area, "this time I won't hold back."

"No kekkei Genkai."

"Alright maybe a little held back."

"Fine, go."

Zev ran up on the wall. Utsuha shouted, "Hey wait a minute, I can't do that."

Zev smiled, "I know."

"Wait, Zev! That's not fair!" Osona said

"All's fair in love and war," Zev said, sounding exactly like Osona.

"Fine. Looks like I'm going to have to take you all out to eat."

Zev spent most of the time watching Utsuha pack the food away, "Are you sure you won't be sick?"

"Hey, this is my first time getting to eat on Osona's tab! I think I should be allowed to eat like this."

Zev shrugged, and looked at the girls across the table. They were also amazed by Utsuha's eating. Maybe we should set up an eating contest, between Niku, and Utsuha… Zev thought.

Leta asked Zev, "Zev, how… how did you… walk up the wall?"

"Chakra control, haven't you tried it?" Leta shook her head, "You can do other things as well when you learn how. Like walk on water."

"Oh, I thought that was just one of your kekkei genkai," Utsuha said

"No anyone can learn it," Zev said, "I've learned some things that are unique to me, or at least the way I do it."

"Like what?" Osona asked.

"Like destruction field," He left out the fact that he was taught by a demon, "Were you there for the match between me and Saskue?" Osona shook her head. "Well maybe some other time I can show you. It takes a lot of chakra, but it's worth it. It's almost a perfect defense. Well, except against anything that can be used from far away."

The next day it was another training day, and Zev made sure to show up extra early. He put on the vest and prepared for the others. He had talked to Osona; he said he had an idea for the speed testing. That would guarantee a good laugh after words. She said it was okay. Osona sat at the base of a tree, and watched. Zev seemed slower today. Several times she thought he was tagged but then elsewhere he'd appear and he wouldn't have a print on him.

Utsuha sat down pretending to act defeated, Zev came in and made a joke. Utsuha grabbed his leg, and made a print on his vest. Zev smiled and ran in a circle when he stopped he didn't have a print, He couldn't have wiped it off, the stuffs hard to get out as is, how did he get it off? Osona thought.

Leta used Byakugan and looked around. She walked over by Osona, and reached behind the tree very carefully as not to draw attention. Zev jumped out, "Not going to be that easy." He said and disappeared.

Shadow Clones! He's using shadow clones! Osona laughed, as she realized the trick, and realized how futile Utsuha's attempts were. She watched Utsuha for a minute when she heard Zev speak again.

"So I'm guessing you figured it out?" She heard Zev say from the tree.

"Are you Zev, or a clone?"

"I'm a clone, the real me is not too far." Leta, Osona, and Zev watched Utsuha try desperately to catch Zev, the clones let him a few times which drove him even madder after one would disappear, and another took its place, "Do you think you should call it off?" Zev asked almost rhetorically.

Osona did so, the Zev clone disappeared and the real Zev took a spot leaning up against a tree. Utsuha walked in panting, "I don't know how, but he had to be cheating…," he said.

"Sorry Zev, you did cheat, he can't make shadow clones like you can."

Utsuha fell over and stared up at the sky, groaning. Zev shrugged, "Well, who gets to go out and eat?"

"Well you cheated; Utsuha didn't use his head and figure the trick out. So that leaves Leta."

Utsuha sat up, "By the way, Osona-sensei? When are we going on another mission?"

She waved back while walking off with Leta, "In a few days…," She said, "We're waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone? Who?" Zev asked rhetorically not expecting an answer.

The next day it was training, again. This time they met in the forest. Zev came a half hour early. Osona was already there. She was reading her book. "What are we going to be training for today?"

"Actually, Zev, I thought you could help me train the others. We're doing Chakra control training."

"So you have those papers?"

"What papers?" she said, turning the page.

"You know those ones that react to chakra?" Zev put up his fingers into a square shape.

Osona, rummaged around in her bag, "You mean these?" She said holding up a piece of paper, the paper suddenly became soaked.

"Yea, my sensei found out what our types were before doing any chakra training."

"I see, as you probably guessed I'm a water type, what are you?" she said tossing a paper to Zev. Zev took it.

"I have a kekkei genkai so," the paper crumpled into two separate pieces, "I have thunder, and wind. The wind being the less dominate of the two."

"Do you know how to train wind chakra?" Zev shook his head, "Really? Why didn't you learn that?"

"It's just a clan thing, everyone in the clan focuses on the thunder part of our kekkei genkai."

Osona grabbed a leaf, and she handed it to Zev, "Here, try to cut this with you chakra," Zev held it in his hand, in a second the leaf burst. Osona said, "That wasn't how you were supposed to do it…."

Zev let the pieces in his hand fall, "I gathered that…. Wait this gave me an idea…," Zev ran off into the woods before Osona could say anything. She picked up her book and continued reading while she waited for the others.

It seemed like a short time until the others got there, but that was because Osona was too focused on her book. In fact she jumped up when Utsuha said hello. "Oh, it's just you don't creep up on me like that," Utsuha was about to say something and decided not to, "Where's Zev he was here about a half-hour ago."

"Right here," Zev said from behind her, "I wanted to try something."

"Well Zev," she said handing him her bag with all her ninja tools, "Why don't you teach them," and then she returned to her reading.

"Teach us what?" Leta asked.

"Chakra control," Zev said, and he dug out the special papers, "here," he said and he handed them each one, "expose your chakra to these, they're special papers that do certain things when exposed to different chakra. Lighting, it crumples. Earth, it turns to dust. Fire, it burns up. Wind, it splits in two. Water, it gets wet," he took out a piece for himself, and showed them, his crumpled, and split in two. "I have an elemental kekkei genkai, which means I have two chakras. You both have kekkei genkai, but they're visual jutsus. That means you don't get the bonus of a second chakra," he watched Utsuha expose his chakra to the paper, it burned, "Fire," Zev said, "I believe that's usual for an Uchiha." Then he watched Leta perform the same thing, it crumpled, "Lightning, like mine," Zev said.

"Wait, you had two though, wind and lightning," Utsuha said, more of question then a statement.

"Although I have two chakras one takes precedence over the other," Zev explained. "Alright, time to explain the exercise." Zev walked over to a tree and began to walk up it. "You need to bring your chakra to the soles of your feet. This is fairly difficult, as you need to be very precise with your chakra."

"Why?" Utsuha asked.

"You'll find out," Zev pulled out two kunais, "make a mark at your highest point," Zev said, as he dropped down to the ground below, he sat next to Osona. "Osona-sensei," he said as he watched Utsuha make the same mistake he did his first try, which was using too much chakra, and the surface's own energy repelling him, "Do you know how to train fire-type chakra?" she shook her head, "I guess I'm going to have to find that out," he watched as Utsuha made a second mistake, not using enough, He fell back and hit his head on the ground. Zev looked at Leta; she was standing there, with her foot on the tree. Zev guessed that she was trying to figure out just how much chakra she needed.

Zev sighed; Leta would never get higher if she never failed. He walked over to her, "Leta, don't be afraid to fail, someone who never failed has never tried anything new," Leta nodded and tried to take her first step. Not enough, she fell backwards. Zev caught her and said, "Try again," she did, she didn't have enough chakra again. Zev caught her and told her to try again. They repeated this process several times till finally she got it.

Utsuha, who had finally got a good grasp on it, looked at Leta, Yea, sure help her but not me, he mentally scolded himself and ran up the tree, Well, she did need the help, he looked at the marks on the tree that he made while running up, I'm already improving, without help, he heard Leta fall, he looked back; she had gotten excited and lost her grip. He laughed, and proceeded to lose his own grip.

"You need to stay focused to be able to do this, once you really get the hang of it. You can let your mind wander, it becomes part of you muscle memory," Zev told them both as they lay there on the ground. He walked back to the spot Osona was reading and sat down. He watched them practice the technique. Utsuha was doing very well, while Leta needed some help. He watched Leta more than Utsuha.

"How do you think they're doing?" Osona asked.

"Utsuha is doing great. Leta still needs a while to practice, but I think she'll get the hang of it eventually," almost as if she tried to prove Zev right, Leta ran up the tree and made it and another two feet above her last attempt. Zev looked at Osona, "Why did you never teach them this before?"

She set down her book, "I actually can't do it that well; you know about the keirakukei, correct?"

Zev nodded, "That's the network inside the body that carries chakra, almost like how veins carry blood."

"Then you also know about the tenketsu?"

"Yea, in theory if you can accurately hit them, you can either halt or increase the target's chakra."

"Well, I half the normal amount," She shrugged, "I don't know why, but a member of the Hyuga clan told me that."

"Can you do it at all?"

"Yes, but my chakra flows differently then theirs," she nodded in the direction of Leta, and Utsuha, "I don't know how to teach it to them."

"I see," Zev said he looked at Leta and Utsuha. They still had a long way to go. Zev looked at Osona, she had already returned to her book. "By the way, you read the book a lot, what's it about?"

"It's a romance novel."

"Oh." Zev said suddenly indifferent. He heard Osona laugh; she figured that he didn't like romance that much. He looked back to the others. Leta had stopped learning in leaps and bounds, while Utsuha was getting cocky. He could keep focused enough to stand. He was doing some dance on the tree. Leta stopped to watch him, she laughed. Zev wasn't amused. Leta stopped laughing when Utsuha lost concentration on his chakra. He fell, and hit his head on the ground. Zev walked over and stood over him.

"I made it half way to the top!" Utsuha said, smiling.

"Great, now get to the top." Zev said and walked away. Utsuha groaned as he looked up to the top of the tree. Leta looked to the top of her tree. She had a long way to go.

She stopped Zev on his way back to the spot he had been sitting, "Um… Zev…. Can you give me a hint?"

Zev smiled and nodded, "It takes mental energy to focus, generate, and manipulate chakra, so if you get all stressed out there's no way you can do it. Take it easy and relax."

"But… if we use this in a fight, wouldn't it be hard to relax?"

Zev shook his head, "If you stress out in a fight, you've probably already lost the fight. So, in fact, it's necessary to relax during fights. Anything else you need answered?" She shook her head, and Zev walked back and sat down. He saw Leta stand for a moment and focus, she ran up the tree and made a full ten feet over her last mark.

When she got back down Utsuha said, "Wow," and he clapped twice.

"Great job, Leta!" Zev said to her. She smiled. She played with a rock at her feet and muttered a thanks, and ran back up the tree. She made it another foot. Zev continued to watch their progress. Leta made another half foot to two feet every time after. Utsuha was slacking off at the base of the tree, At this rate Leta will surpass Utsuha, Zev thought. He asked Osona, "Are you going to take someone out to eat after this?"

"I probably should take you out, since you taught them, and I guess I should take one of them too," she sighed, "You know, things were a lot easier before you came along, I only had to take one person out, and I never heard the others complain about getting left behind. Now, I nearly have to take you and one of the others out, and when I take Leta with, I always hear it from Utsuha about it not being fair with you on the team." she sighed again. "I suppose you should check to see who's farther, I take the one farthest up out to eat. It's going to be dark soon."

Zev ran up a tree in between Leta's and Utsuha's. Leta had surpassed Utsuha by a half foot. Zev jumped down. He landed next to Utsuha, who jumped when Zev landed. "Leta surpassed Utsuha, while Utsuha was slacking off."

Osona clapped her book shut, "Well, I guess Zev and Leta get to go out tonight." Utsuha walked off with his head hanging. Osona walked next to Zev, who had his hands behind his head, Leta walked behind them. She was looking at her hands. Zev looked back and stopped waiting for Leta to catch up.

"You did great today Leta," Zev said when she caught up, "Think you can do just as well tomorrow?"

Leta said looking at her hands, "I hope so."

"I know you will," he said.
