Chapter Twelve- Training Starts

"Morning Kakashi," Kushina said as Kakashi snapped his eyes opened, he just thought about what happened yesterday and t-

"Hunter nin wasn't a hunter nin, so Zabuza is alive," Naruto told him. They was no point in lying, he was just going to figure it out anyway, or the three genin were going to tell him.

"Morning Sensei! Kushina want to help in the kitchen?" Natsumi asked. The older girl just looked at her before moving down to help Tsunami, she could barely find food for three, let alone another six, so Kushina was going to use what she brought and Tsunami better not protest or Kushina wasn't going to be happy.

"Ha-"

"Yes, I told the other three," Naruto said, cutting Kakashi off, Naruto and Kushina weren't going to call him sensei until he taught them something they didn't know "Also they might need training,"

"Has Natsumi learned the first step?" Kakashi asked. With how much the three trained he wouldn't be surprised if Natsumi did know it.

"Yes, but it wouldn't hurt to go over it," Naruto knew that Natsumi had mastered it, but with her large chakra coils… it never hurt to practice chakra control and after a while, Kushina was planning to show her water walking.

"What?" Sakura asked tilting her head to the side, because she thought it looked 'cute', Naruto had seen both his sister's doing it, but they were cute unlike Sakura, it just looked forced.

"Zabuza is alive and since I won't be moving for a week, Naruto and Kushina will be teaching you," Kakashi told them, this caused both Sasuke and Sakura to look at him. Naruto just looked at the roof and wondered why he had to teach them, he wasn't the sensei.

"Guess we should eat first," Naruto said. He was pretty sure that Kushina would be yelling at them to get their asses down in three, two, one…

"Get your asses down here!"

"Knew it," Naruto and Natsumi whispered before running down to have breakfast, they both liked living after all… Natsumi was sure that Sasuke and Sakura didn't, since they just walked to the dining room.

"Kushina we're training them,"

"It sounds fun," Natsumi said. She loved the old styled Japanese breakfasts and it seemed Kushina wasn't allowing Tsunami to help, she also didn't want to use what they had.

"That doesn't sound like fun," a little boy said. He was wearing a dark blue hat, with matching overalls and sandals.

Kushina just looked at the dark haired boy… he was most likely part of the family "How would you know? Last I checked you didn't do it,"

"Inari, where were you?" Tazuna asked the little boy, this only conformed the fact that this 'Inari' was Tazuna's grandson, so they would have to keep an eye on him, since he could be used against them.

"Welcome back grandpa," he said before walking to his grandfather, the black haired siblings watched him, before going back to their food, if they were going to teach them anything than, they could need all the energy they could get.

"Inari, why don't you say hello to these people," Tsunami told her son, but she didn't have a good feeling about this "They protected your grandfather,"

"Mum they're just going to die," Inari said while pointing to the eating pre-teens and teen. Both Naruto and Kushina looked at each other, before Naruto looked at Natsumi trying to tell her to cool down, since she was shacking with rage.

"That's what some guy said, what know what happened?" Kushina asked the little boy, looking at him as he looked at her, when he nodded she continued "I'd killed him and his team, so don't look at someone and tell them they're going to die,"

"There's no way you can win against Gatou!" Inari yelled. Why was she so calm, when everything was falling apart and they were just eating, when sometimes they couldn't even find enough food.

"Gatou's a midget with a cane," Naruto pointed out. Gatou wasn't a threat, Zabuza and the 'hunter nin' was "I'm pretty sure, I'm more worried about the guy with the sword,"

"Kid, you know nothing about any of us… but I will admit your right about dead weight," Kushina said. She didn't care what happened to the kid when she left, he wasn't part of the mission and she honestly hated the fact, that she thought he deserved pity.

"Idiot," Sakura said. She didn't want to eat once and Kushina gave her a two hour lecture about how they needed to eat as much as the boys and how she was 'stupid, suicidal, weak, useless' because she was on a diet… let's just say, she isn't on a diet anymore, but it seemed Kushina looked pointing out what she did wrong and never what she got right.

"Brat just eat, I didn't make food for it to go to waste," Kushina said as she pointed to seats away from herself, Tsunami was sitting next to her and she was sure that the women would want the child close to her "If you don't I'll just drag your ass here,"

"So we start," Kushina said as she leaned against one of the trees. She didn't want to train them, or two of them, but if she didn't want to protect them and fight, then she has no choice in the matter "Naruto, you tell them,"

"You know about chakra right?" Naruto asked them, if they didn't know what it was then he was going to have to tell them. Both Sasuke and Sakura nodded while looking at Natsumi… really, she's smarter than she looks "Natsumi knows, so stop looking at her like she doesn't,"

"We're going to teach you chakra control, do you don't waste as much chakra," Kushina told them. She wanted to get this done and over with "You need to be able to control it, not only does it give you a higher chance of living, but it means that you can do jutsu's without worrying about the fact that it might not work, weakened or blow up in your face,"

"So how do we control it?" Sakura asked looking at the trees behind them. Kushina was going to ask the Hokage to look over the scores because she was sure that Sakura was one of the dumbest people she had ever met.

"Tree climbing,"

"What kind of training is that?" Sakura asked. She always thought the two were on something or they were just that weird, they act like they're in a war all the time.

"Shut up and listen, you might learn dead weight," Kushina said "You don't use your hands, only your feet… I'll show you, before dead weight or duck butt can ask,"

With that the dark haired female started to walk up the tree and when she reached the first branch she walked across it, when she stopped moving she was upside down. Natsumi had seen this before, even done it before, but the other two were looking at her, like she pulled a rabbit out of a hat.

"Now do you understand?" Naruto asked the two "Gather your chakra to the base of your feet and walk up the tree. It's one of the easiest things you can do with chakra, but it will help you hugely,"

"Wait! How is climbing trees going to make us stronger?" Sakura asked staring at Kushina with large green eyes and all Kushina wanted to do was fall on her, for fuck sucks, they explained that it was for chakra control and why chakra control was important and she asks a stupid question like that?

"Even though I already told, I'll tell you again," Naruto sighed looking at Kushina who was getting three kunai out of her weapon pouch that was near her forehead protector/ belt "It helps because your feet are one of the hardest places to gather chakra and it has to be exact… so if you master this, then you should be able to do any jutsu within your chakra range,"

"It also helps with stamina needed to fight long battles, each jutsu is different in how much you need to control it, some near perfect control while other's it doesn't matter as much and it's even harder when your moving/fighting, which is why this is the first step and you must master this one before you can go to the next one," Kushina told them. Only Natsumi looked at her, while the two others just looked at Naruto, but she knew they heard and here she thought they learned that you shouldn't take your eyes off her or any shinobi, given the fact the two knows she wants them dead, makes them dumber in her eyes.

"Nothing's going to happen with us talking all day, and this is something you learn by doing," Naruto told them, while Kushina throw the kunai at their feet, since everyone, but Natsumi had taken their eyes off the raven, they were surprised and jumped slightly.

"Use the Kunai to mark how high you make it up the tree," Kushina told them, she hated doing this she was never taking a genin team "Use those mark to get better, you lot won't be good at one your first go, so begin with running up the tree,"

"Of course, can I join you Kushina?" Natsumi asked. She already knew this, took her a while to get it done, but with Kushina helping her, she was able.

"Of course Natsumi," Kushina said, while talking to the top of the branch to sit and watch the other two fail "You already know this, but you'll have to do laps… after five minutes,"

All three ran towards the tree, while Natsumi could do it, she still needed to run up the tree to do so. She would ask her not to, but then the other two would do the same thing. Sasuke was five steps up before he was blasted off the tree.

"This is pretty easy," Sakura said causing everyone to look at her, Natsumi was already next to Kushina, but she didn't feel like showing off.

"Sakura, Natsumi laps. Up and down the tree, to one increase Sakura's toddler sized chakra pool and two so you Natsumi have more control over your chakra… now get to it, before your also dodging kunai,"

Both Naruto and Kushina were reading a book, while Sakura had taken a break, for the fifth time and the raven was about five seconds away from killing her. Natsumi was still running up and down the tree trunk, but Kushina knew that Natsumi could do this for hours. Sasuke still hadn't made it to the top, but he was getting there.

"Sakura get back to it," Kushina told the pinkette while gently tossing a kunai in her hand, just so Sakura knew that her break was over and if she didn't start moving then she could have no trouble making her dodge anything she felt like throwing at her.

"Soon we'll stop for lunch… Kushina might go earlier," Naruto told them, they were doing well and he was sure that once Sasuke got to the top, that boy would remember the amount of chakra he had to use, impressed, but that didn't mean that neither he nor his sister was going to train the brat.

He got what he wanted, he hated spoiled brats and that was the only way Naruto could describe him. If this was the clans wars, all three of them would be died, since they didn't start training early enough, then again they wouldn't be fangirls.
