Sasori couldn't help but smirk as he awoke in his own Puppet Body. He could not believe that someone was so skilled with Seals at such an age, it was truly amazing. Even with their Natural talent, The Uzumaki rarely reached such a level at this age. Of Course that Paralysis Seal Mika used would never have worked if he was using more then twenty percent of his power. Still, the boy was a prodigy if ever there was one and not just due to his sealing skills.

That Cement Jutsu Mika had used on him, it was clearly self created. Otherwise the Leaf would be using it far more often, especially the ANBU. It was rather ingenious, with a variety of applications. Capture was the obvious choice, but was also useful against traps and anything mechanical, which would really hurt most Puppet users. If combined with Mika's mastery of Genjutsu and expert use of sealing, Sasori knew it would be an extremely dangerous Combination. One that most Jonin would have a great deal of Difficulty to get out of.

Then of course there was Mika's Usage of Shadow clones and the Mist, Masterful in every sense of the word. Both Jutsu were created to work not in direct combat, but to assassinate and redirect the attention of the enemy from the caster, throwing them off until the Caster was ready. Mika did just that, setting several traps up with in the Mist. That Mika knew to use the Mist and Shadow clone instead of fighting in Direct Combat was also rather telling of the boy's intelligence as Direct combat against someone like Sasori was suicidal.

Still, Mika had a lot to work toward. His Taijutsu and overall direct combat skills needed a great deal of work, especially if he was to enter the Akatsuki in a Year. From the reports Zetsu had given him, Mika was easily Mid B in terms of his Taijutsu and had great Speed and Strength. However from what Sasori could tell, Mika's Style seemed to focus almost entirely on preserving Mika's Chakra and on evasion, typical for a Medic. The boy's Kenjutsu was very similar and also needed some work, though for his age both skills were quite high. Same for his Reserves of Chakra, that definitely needed a Boost though it was not as low as it should have been for someone of a civilian background.

Overall Sasori would place Mika as a Solid A Rank Shinobi, with immense potential for much higher growth. In fact should Mika increase those skills, Sasori new Mika would reach S Rank Status in Six Months or so, especially if he continued having Missions requiring direct Combat. That would truely help the boy to solidify those abilties...

Smiling, Sasori Stood and Grabbed a Scroll from his Desk. It seemed he needed to have Kabuto update Mika's Bingo Book entry and get a copy to Oonki, that would guarantee that Mika was sought after and given the needed experience. Oonoki would not be able to stand such a powerful Rising Star coming from the Leaf, Not after Minato Namikaze. Oonoki would send a massive amount of Bounty hunters after the boy, if only to prevent another Yellow Flash.


" What are you Looking for Mika?" Mika cringed at Sakura's voice, wanting nothing more then to crush it by any means possible. The Poison Sasori had hit him with gave him a killer headache, even after he expelled it and healed his wounds. It didn't help that he was slightly dehydrated from blood loss...and sore overall from his hard ass fight. Still, he wasn't going to ignore her, she would just scream at him. Plus, it might help her to grow out of her fan girl persona...

" Pain Relievers, My Head hurts as does my entire body... fighting an S Rank Ninja will do that to you."

Sakura looked a little confused. " But... you beat him... does that mean you are S Rank as well?" Mika raised a brow, then shook his head.

" A Rank at most, though with my tactical abilites and Skills with healing I can fight people of a Much higher level without too much Damage. And no I didn't really beat him Sakura, he was testing my overall abilities and was only using a small portion of his overall skills. He is actually stronger then Tsunade and Jiraiya, though together they would crush him. " Sakura looked even more confused.

" Umm... Is there really such a difference... you know between A and S Rank? I mean there is only one rank difference!" Mika smiled, that was actually a really good question.

" Sakura, a single S Rank Ninja is worth at least Fifty A Rank Ninjas. S Rank means a total mastery of your skills, a Massive level of experience and physical Power. Typically not a single skills is below Mid A Rank when you are an S Rank Ninja. S Rank Ninjas also have a single skill or set of skills that are... unique to them, one that allows them immense power, there is literally no exception to that rule."

Sakura looked down at her feet for a moment. " How did you get so powerful Mika, I mean A Rank is still really powerful? And How do you get to S Rank from where you are?"

Mika was totally surprised at that one, it was not a very common question. Especially from a fangirl like Sakura, still he liked it and was more then willing to answer.

" Well... It is all about training and dedication Sakura, though Genetics can help. You See, I divide training into certain levels that help one to increase their rank. Six to be exact, Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, Jonin, Elite Jonin and Kage. For Genin Training, you are in the Academy and thus are learning all of the basic skills required for being a Ninja such as Taijutsu, Chakra control and a few others. You are also building your body so you can handle the strain for being a Ninja and getting a single skill set to a much higher level. In the Clan Kids Case this is whatever their clan's specialize and thus gives the Genin an edge. In My case is was chakra control and Genjutsu.

Once you graduate, you move the Chunin Training. In fact this is why there is three Months between the Academy Graduation and the Chunin exams, and why we do D ranks during this time. Basically your Jonin Sensei is supposed to help you bring your other skills up to par with you specialized one, and to help you keep your specialized skill up to par. You are also to learn the more advanced control exercises to build your reserves and to of course learn better control. Depending on your team, you are also taught a ceartin skill set. Your team was supposed to be Direct combat which I have to Say Kakashi utterly failed at with his favoritism. I mean really both you and Naruto had very little growth from your time in the academy...

Any way, D Ranks are supposed to help you learn how to behave around your clients. Even a C Rank requires you to behave yourself around your clients you know.

After you become a Chunin, you start the Jonin or Special Jonin Stage. A Special Jonin is basically a Chunin with one or two skills of an Elite Jonin, this is usually where a Clan Ninja stays as they rarely branch out of their family abilities. I reached this stage due to have a mastery of Genjutsu and a high skill in tactics. You are actually here due to being a Medical Ninja, you are focusing on that skill to an extreme. However this stage has a lure to it, making most people lazy. They forget to train in other areas causing a great deal of atrophy.

The Jonin Stage, is where you build all of your skills to Jonin level, is is just a rounding game. Though at this point you should have at least three skills that are higher then the rest, in my case this in Medical, Sealing, Genjutsu and Kenjutsu.

After this is the Elite Jonin Stage, where I am currently at, where a Jonin works to get at least five of their skills to Expert Level and one of their skills to Mastery. I already have Genjutsu at mastery, as well as Chakra control. My Sealing and Medical skills are at Expert level, and I am trying to get my skills in taijutsu and Kenjutsu here as well as My skills with throwing weapons. My Ninjutsu skills are technically at expert level as well but only in the most supplementary manner, and I don't have very large chakra reserves, low jonin at most. Reaching this level makes on Low S Rank, where Guy and Kakashi are. Asuma is about this level as well though Guy could effortlessly beat him, as could Kakashi I am sure.

Now, to become S Rank... you need at least three Skills at mastery and all the rest at Expert Level Sakura... this is why S Rank is so hard to achieve. Look at Tsunade, she is a master in Chakra control, medical Jutsu, and Taijutsu, as well as an expert in literally all fields though I suspect a mastery in Sealing due to her Uzumaki Blood...

Any way,you also have to have what I call a Supreme Mastery in something. A Skill that is untouchable in a way, for Tsuande it is her Super Strength and that Seal on her forehead...with it she is nearly unstoppable... " Mika couldn't help but drift off here, thoughts filling his head at his own skills. He really needed to work on his Taijutsu.. and overall direct combat. He would really need it, especially if he was to accomplish any of his many goals. " And Sakura, Sasori is a Supreme master with the Puppet Jutsu, an overall Master in Poisons, taijutsu and Kenjutsu... everything else is Expert level."

Sakura scrunched her large forehead in confusion. " That does not really explain your over all abilities Mika."

Mika smirked a little. " Actually is does, you see unlike most people I don't focus on one ability. I make sure that all of my abilities interact with each other, the same with how I train. When I am working on Taijutsu, I am also working on chakra control, my Chakra Reserves, Stamina and Genjutsu. When I am resting, I read up on Sealing, or Poisons, Or the Human Body. You saw that I used the Hidden Mist Jutsu, my reason was that it allowed all of my abilites to work at a much greater level so I could better take advantage of what I can do. That is my secret Sakura, that is how I have become so much more powerful then most people. Even during my time in the academy, I branched out and made sure my skills complimented each other. I didn't rely on what I was given or taught Sakura, I am dedicated.

When I am not on a Mission or working at the Hospital, I work on my abilities. People Like Kakashi rely on bloodlines and get lazy, they don't branch out and only focus on what they already know or were taught. And even then, they don't work to improve what they know, and that is what kills them in the end. Kakashi knows a thousand Jutsu but has master less then fifty of them, despite have more then enough time to work on them. He no longer practices his Kenjutsu, despite it being something he was rather skilled in during the war and his time in ANBU. He keeps to what he knows, and on the Sharingan and Chidori. He will never reach a Full S Rank without increasing his reserves and mastering what he knows.

The Same could be said for the clan kids, they stick to only what their family knows or has taught them. It prevents them from ever really gaining a balance in their over all abilities.

I on the other hand will reach S Rank Sakura, I am working on everything all of the time and that is what makes the difference in the end."

Sakura was stunned, it was so simple but it worked. When she thought of all of the Hokages, all of them were said to be masters in their fields. The First and Third were even called the God of Shinobi due to their intense overall power and mastery of every field. If Mika was right,.. .then this was the reason he was so powerful... though she knew his intense natural intelligence and natural talent helped a lot.

" Do you think it is possible for Me to achieve such a Rank?" She needed to know this, she had to reach such power if she wanted to be worthy of Sasuke.

Mika stared at her for a moment before nodding. " Yes, but you will have to branch out Sakura and build up your body. If I were you I would stick with Skills that don't require huge amounts of chakra, they will help your status as a Battle Medic Best. Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, Poisons, Seals, Genjutsu... I would also build up your speed which will help a lot with the evasive style Tsunade is teaching you. The Body Flicker and Substitution would be a great thing for you to master, they work well with the Evasive Style you have. A few Elemental Jutsu for supplemental reason would not be a bad idea either..." Mika squinted at her. " You have an earth affinity, so I would stick to those and practice Affinity exercises... I would also focus a lot of time to build your reserves, that is a necessity." Mika tipped his head to the side. " I wouldn't rely on Tsunade's Super Strength as much as she does, she had the reserves and Durability to handle it while you simply don't. Still, learning it would only serve to be a benefit...I would also learn a few Wind Jutsu to protect yourself from Lightning Jutsu, which would disable and destroy your Earth Jutsu."

Sakura's head ached as she tried to process all of what Mika was telling her. That was a lot to train in... she wasn't sure if she could do it all... and apparently Mika saw this on her face.

" Sakura, You don't have to learn it all at once. If I were you I would stick to building your body and Chakra reserves on your own, and mastering everything the Academy taught you. I would also try and learn the Shushin, that is extremely useful if used properly and not all that hard to learn. Reading Sealing during your spare time wouldn't be that hard to do."

Sakura sighed, that sounded better. " I ... I think I can do that..." Straightening her Shoulders, Sakura smiled. Perhaps she would succeed in her dreams and become worthy of Sasuke.

" Sakura" Sakura turned her head to Mika " I have a Propostion for you, care to hear it?" Sakura nodded, genuinely curious." I will give you a scroll containing some Chakra control exercises I made, and in return you will go to District Three and Act the Local Fruit Vendor for Viv... Tell her Mika sent you, and that you need to see that Fate of her normal Clients."

Sakura scrunched her forehead for a moment, then shrugged. " Alright I guess, what does Viv do?" She really was curious to why Mika was sending her to such a seemingly unassuming place.

Mika gave her a soft, out of character smile. " She is what is known as a Community Angel...and I can't tell you what she does just yet, just go there. I promise you will not be in any pain or in even the slightest danger."

Sakura believed him, she wasn't sure why she just did.

Mika gave Sakura a soft look before turning back. He head realized something as he looked at her thinking about training... Sakura reminded him of an Abused Wife. Her love and obsession toward Sasuke was not healthy and while he had no love for Sakura, Mika had lived with parents that abused each other. He wouldn't want to wish that fate on anyone...or their children... even Sakura.

He knew she wouldn't listen to what she heard immediately, but hopefully it would start to wear her down so she could one day leave Sasuke... and Tsunade who was perhaps just as abusive... especially to Shizune who did more for the village then nearly anyone else. " You can take Shizune with you, I think it would be a good idea for you both to see Viv's work."

Sakura nodded distractedly, Making Mika smile then smirk. This was his revenge against Tsunade... she would lose her two Minions, the ones she abused most. It would be perfect...


In the Village, Naruto couldn't help but smile as his last Shadow clone dispelled, confirming Success in his mission. As Per Mika's Orders, Naruto had been sending his clones out under disguise to get a read on the village and to secretly spread his Heritage. It was a rather brilliant Move on Mika's Part, one that would prevent Tsuande from ever denying him of his heritage when he revealed it.

He was glad Mika made him read those books on Psychology and Tactics... and the dictionary so he could understand what he was reading. It really helped Naruto to understand Mika's actions since he joined him three weeks ago. Of course that was not the only thing he had to do over the least three weeks. Naruto had been ordered to use his Clone to learn taijutsu, Chakra control, tactics, Advanced Trap making, Genjutu detection and dispersal, Bo Jutsu and a Variety of other Ninja Abilities. However the greatest things Mika had taught him was not Ninja skills... no they were far more basic then that.

When Mika learned that Naruto only ate Ramen and loathed Vegetables, Mika took it upon himself to Teach Naruto how to Hunt and Cook. When He learned that no one would sell Him good equipment or clothing, Mika taught Naruto how to suppress his chakra and change his behavior enough so he could use his Henge to sneak into shops. Mika also taught Naruto how to sow, Nit, Perform First Aid and take care of his weapons properly.

When Mika saw the state of his apartment, Mika taught him how to clean, Manage his money and so many other useful skills that Naruto never could manage on his own. It was this that truly got Naruto to stay Loyal to Mika, he had in three weeks done more for Naruto then the entire village had ever done... Mika was heloing him to become a better person, Not just a good Jinchuuriki.

Apparently this was Why Hinata was so attached to Mika as well. Mika had helped her to gain a lot of confidence and self love, she was even comfortable with her body now. It was a common thing for her and Mika to bathe in the Pond near their training grounds, completely nude which had thrown Naruto off. Hinata often cuddled up to Mika when they rested between Spars, as did Udon and Hinabi.

Seeing Mika that Warm was rather weird for Naruto...though not for long as Mika encourage Naruto to join them. Mika never made fun of Naruto, none of them did... it was nice. He really felt like he had friends for the first time, he didn't have to fake it like he did when he was on team Seven... or in the academy. They... they were his family, helping each other and genuinely enjoying each others company...Naruto loved it.

Naruto had decided right then that he would follow Mika anywhere... .and he would never give that up, for that was his ninja way.
