Naruto – Chapter 4
Journey to the Land of Waves! The Assassin of the Mist!
Part 1
After passing Kakashi's test, Squad 7 had begun receiving many missions although many of them were not the most ninja-like missions one would expect…
Many of the missions they had gone on were what one would call simple chores to an average citizen; weed picking, dog walking and picking up trash from the river.
Toshirama POV
As the morning sun rose Toshirama brought himself out of bed and yawned as he opened his window to greet the sunrise in the distance.
"Well another day, another D-rank. Guess that's a beginner's life, no use fretting over it." Toshirama said to himself as he prepared himself for the day.
After having breakfast, he decided on what to wear that day as he scoured his closet, he found a blue colored jacket he bought early that year, it was simple, but something told him to wear it today so after getting dressed and putting on his headband he headed out to meet with his team.
Meeting near the central bridge he found Sasuke and Sakura already there waiting for Kakashi, the three greeted each other as Naruto was the last to arrive.
"No Kakashi I presume?" Toshirama asked as the others nodded 'no'.
With that Toshirama decided to lay back on the bannister of the bridge as the four knew it would be a while before Kakashi arrived. About an hour and thirty minutes later, Kakashi arrived.
"Good morning, everyone." Said Kakashi standing on a pole above the bridge.
"KAKASHI-SENSEI! YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura and Naruto yelled.
"Sorry, I got lost on the path of life." Kakashi explained.
"LIAR!" Sakura and Naruto exclaimed again
"Well, now that were all here, let's get started on our next mission." Kakashi told them.
A Few Hours Later…
General POV
Deep in the forest, Squad 7 were in pursuit of their target, their mission was a recovery one to find something for a client. Suddenly the target took off, everyone continued pursuit until the target stopped feeling safe.
"Sakura. I'm at Point A." She replied over her receiver.
"Toshirama. At point B." I said into mine
"Sasuke, Point C." He replied.
"… Naruto, I'm at Point D, believe it!" Naruto finally replied after a short delay.
"Your late, Naruto keep up." Kakashi said over his transceiver. "How far is the target?"
"Target is 6 meters away. Were in range to catch when ordered." I said.
"Wait… now!" Kakashi ordered.
All four of us jumped from our spots as Naruto lunged straight for the target catching it in his grip. But just as soon as he had a grip on the target it began to claw at him ferociously. The cat, Tora, our target was caught and now we had to report in.
"Can you identify red ribbon on right ear?" Kakashi inquired
"Affirmative." Sasuke replied. "Target matches the description as detailed."
"Then lost pet Tora has been captured." Kakashi informed. "Mission accomplished."
"CAN WE PLEASE GET ANOTHER MISSION WITHOUT CATS?!" Naruto screamed into the earpiece. "I HATE CATS!"
Mission Office
After dropping off Tora to its owner, the Land of Fire daimyo's wife, Lady Shijimi. Tora was now in agony as he was now being crushed by his owner. I felt sad for the feline, but nothing we could do.
"That cat deserves to be squashed, serves him right." Naruto said.
"Now that that mission is over, we have quite a few more so lets see; babysitting the Chief Councilor's three-year-old, helping the Councilor's wife with shopping, picking the potatoes of…" Lord Third tried to list off until Naruto interrupted him.
"NO! I want to go on a real mission, something that's a challenge and exciting not this kiddie stuff. Come on old man!" Naruto complained.
"He's got a point." Sasuke thought to himself agreeing with Naruto
"But does he have to be such a pain about it?" Sakura complained in her head
"I should've known this was coming soon." Kakashi thought to himself with a frown beneath his mask.
Iruka and Naruto then went back and forth arguing until Toshirama and Kakashi punched Naruto in the head silencing him.
"Enough, Naruto complaining won't get you anything." Toshirama scolded Naruto. "But Lord Third, in all respect perhaps a rather simple escort mission could provide us more experience?"
The Third Hokage sat back in his chair and thought to himself, "The young man has a point, if Naruto wants to prove he's not a brat, but a former one he wants a real mission. Fine, I'll give you a simple C-rank escort."
Naruto perked up at the mention of a C-Rank mission, "Oh yeah, who are we escorting some sort of princess, some big wig, who, who, who?"
"Don't be so impatient, bring in the client now." The Third said as a door opened to reveal a man with a bottle of alcohol in his hand.
"What a bunch of snot-nosed kids?" The old gray-haired man complained as he took a large chug of his bottle.
"You two, the one with the shaggy white hair and this little one with the stupid look you expect me to believe your ninja?" The old man continued to complain as he pointed out Toshirama and Naruto.
Toshirama's right eye twitched at the man making fun of his hair. Naruto was laughing, "Ha-ha-ha, I wonder who he means by the little one with the idiotic look his…"
Naruto slowly began to realize as his teammates lined next to him, they were all taller than him, so by logic…
Naruto tried to rush the old man but Toshirama did that job, "Let me go big bro, I'll demolish him."
"You can't go demolishing the client, it doesn't work that way." Kakashi scolded the orange knucklehead.
"I am Tazuna, a master bridge builder and I must return to my country, I'm building a bridge there that will change our world and I expect to get me there safely even if it means giving up your life." Tazuna explained.
After that introduction the team was allowed to go home and prepare in the next 2 hours for the journey ahead. Everyone packed for at least a 4-day trip as this mission would entail a simple -escort-return mission.
Toshirama returned to his apartment to pack up his items; everything from ninja tools to basic medical supplies. He took with him some pre-made lunches he'd been saving up from the cafeteria knowing that the journey would take some time.
He also took so spare changes of clothes as well. Before leaving he looked on his bookshelf and saw a particular book that would come in handy, "The Basics of Medical Ninjutsu" by Tsunade.
"Better safe then sorry." Toshirama said to himself as he finished packing and left for the main gate entrance. Before leaving Toshirama made the note to visit the local weapon shop and see if there was anything he could afford as he wanted some new gear.
"Ten-Ten" Weapon Shop
Reaching the local shop, he goes in to be greeted by a girl wearing pink qipao-style with two large buns in her hair manning the register.
"Hello what can I do for you today? Repairs, new weapons, or resupply?" She asked Toshirama.
The two met eyes and to Tenten even she had to admit he looked kind of cute with the white shaggy hair he has.
"Actually, I was looking to see if perhaps this shop sells tantō or other short swords?" Toshirama asked.
Tenten smiled as she replied, "Actually, yes we do we have on a curved tantō on sale here for only 1200 ryo, neatly clean and hasn't been touched by battle." She informed him.
Toshirama thought to himself as he pulled out his wallet and checked his money, he was what one would call frugal with his money. Before being a ninja, Toshirama would take up odd jobs as a child.
Such as cleaning up graffiti (mostly caused by Naruto), and delivering items for people that liked him mostly Aiko and her father would ask him to deliver lunches to customers and would pay him for those deliveries.
With over 8,000 ryo being saved up over the years, he decided that buying the small sword would be a good investment in the future. He had only a little practice with weapons like this but his only training in using a kunai up close should hopefully suffice for now.
"I'll take it." Toshirama answered as he gave her the money. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself, my name's Toshirama, what's yours?"
The girl smiled and replied, "The name's Tenten and know this I'll be the greatest weapons user in all the ninja world, mark my words."
Toshirama was now surprised at how passionate Tenten was in what she loved.
"I'm sure you will, hey I'm just curious how old are you?" Toshirama asked as he now strapped his new weapon to his back.
"Well I'm 13, you?" Tenten replied. "1'm 12, so you must have graduated before my class." Toshirama answered back.
"Yep, I'm apart of… Team Gai." Tenten replied with hesitance. "Not your kind of sensei, I presume?" Toshirama questioned.
"I'll warn you this once you DO NOT want to meet my team or my sensei, you'll want to die afterwards." Tenten warned him.
"I'm sure there not that bad." Toshirama said as he started backing up. "You have no idea." Tenten said ominously as Toshirama finally left the store.
After Toshirama left, Tenten thought to herself, "Ha-ha, he's a cute one, maybe I'll need to watch out for him."
Hidden Leaf Village Main Gate
General POV
Everyone was on their way out as Naruto was excited, "Alright, this is awesome! Ha-ha!"
"What are you so excited about?" Sakura asked Naruto.
"This is my first time out of the village, I'm a traveler now, believe it!" He explained as he looked everywhere around him.
"I'm supposed to trust this shrimp with my life, are you kidding me?" Tazuna pointed at Naruto still baffled as to how he could become a ninja.
"Well, I'm a jonin so your in good hands." Kakashi tried to calm the man's concerns.
With that the group left for the Land of Waves. Along the way Kakashi explained many of the aspects of the ninja world such as the various ninja villages and lands scattered throughout the known world.
When Kakashi got onto the topics of Kage, this is what got Toshirama and Naruto's attention for different reasons. When Kakashi began talking about the Third Hokage, it was then Toshirama asked him something…
"Kakashi-sensei, is it true that Lord Third actually met the First and Second Hokage?" Toshirama asked.
"Yes, and not only that he had none other than the Second Hokage as his sensei and after that its said he also received training from the First Hokage as well." Kakashi answered.
"So, the old man's that old to know two Hokage and have one be his sensei? That's awesome!" Naruto exclaimed excited.
With that bit of information know known, Toshirama was now curious to ask the Third Hokage about his past, but that was for another time.
The group continued their journey to Land of Waves while walking Toshirama spotted a lone puddle on the path but didn't say anything.
Looking to Kakashi, he merely gave him a look that said, 'It's a trap', Kakashi noticed this and simply eye-smiled at the young genin.
The walk continued until suddenly two ninjas wrapped Kakashi in their chains from the shadows and bind him, the others all nearly panicked at the attack when the two ninja then yanked on their chains and it seemed Kakashi was nearly dissected into pieces.
But all that happened was Kakashi simply used a substitution to look like he'd been dealt with.
With there major threat out of the way the two enemy ninja charged at the genin but seemed more interested in Tazuna.
Reacting quickly Sasuke leaped into the air and stopped their chain by pinning them with a shuriken and kunai without wasting any time Toshirama leaped in between the two and delivered a swift kick to the back of one of their heads.
But somehow, they got loose as one of them was now racing for where Sakura and Tazuna stood. Sakura stood her ground, but not wanting to anything to happen Toshirama rushed in front of her as he began drawing his new tantō, but this was stopped when Kakashi caught the other ninja.
"Show off." Sasuke and Toshirama thought as they saw Kakashi perfectly fine with both rogue shinobi in his arms.
After the attack Kakashi forced Tazuna to reveal why he really needed escorts. Despite our initial reluctance to do so we continued on to assist Tazuna. We wanted this mission, so we were going to finish it.
The Land of Waves
The rest of the way we made by boat and we had reached the Land of Waves. We came to find that fog covered most the way through out walk until we entered a tunnel and on the other side it was just clear as day.
As we continued, Toshirama looked to Kakashi, who seemed even more tense than before. He looked as though he was waiting for something, like he knew it was out there and was waiting for it to appear.
Curious Toshirama stopped by a nearby tree and focusing his chakra for a few seconds he felt a cold presence he never felt while they were walking.
"Everyone, down!" Kakashi and Toshirama screamed as everyone cleared the area as a large broadsword was thrown at us and was lodged into a tree, we all looked up to see a tall man standing on the hilt of his sword.
"Well if it isn't Zabuza Momochi. Rogue ninja from the Village Hidden in the Mist." Kakashi stated.
"The Copy Ninja, Kakashi Hatake; did I get that right?" Zabuza said his guttural tone evident. "It's too bad, but you'll have to hand over the old man."
Now quick, Manji Formation, protect the bridge builder. And stay out of this fight." Kakashi stated as all of us formed around Tazuna.
It was then Zabuza disappeared in the mist that now surrounded us, but it was different. Toshirama could feel chakra as if it were everywhere at once. Despite this however Zabuza got through and was right behind all of us.
It was then that Kakashi responded and stopped Zabuza, as the two continued their fight Zabuza was able to kick Kakashi into the nearby river where he was trapped in a prison made of water.
"I'll finish you later Kakashi, first I've got a job to do, so I'll deal with those little brat of yours. Water Clone Jutsu. We simply watched as an exact copy of Zabuza rose from the river,
"This is not good." Toshirama thought to himself.
"You think because you have those headbands that your ninja? The only way you'll ever be a true ninja is to be placed in my Bingo Book, like your sensei here. Right now, you four are just a joke to me." Zabuza stated to the four as his clone disappeared in mist that was surrounding us.
The clone was nowhere to be seen with the chakra mixed mist we couldn't sense him coming until he kicked Naruto out from the mist knocking off his headband.
"Naruto!" Toshirama and Sakura yelled.
"All of you listen to me, get the bridge builder and run! His clone can only pursue you so far since he's using all his power to keep me in this prison, get as far away as you can! Go now!" Kakashi barked from his prison.
"Running isn't an option that disappeared the moment you were captured. The only real choice we have is to fight and get you free, maybe then we have a chance." Toshirama thought to himself as he assessed the situation.
"Ninja Art: Shadow Clone Jutsu." With his three other clones Toshirama charged at the rogue ninja with his tantō drawn however Zabuza easily did away with the clones, coming down on the swordsman Zabuza easily blocked it and kicked Toshirama away like Naruto.
"No, big bro!" Naruto yelled.
"Toshirama!" Sakura and Sasuke exclaimed.
"I'm fine." Toshirama replied now on one knee. "He's strong obviously, the only chance we've got is to work together."
"You're right big bro." Naruto replied as he took off at Zabuza's clone, he was kicked back once more sliding back toward us with is headband in his hand.
"You alright, Naruto?" Toshirama asked him to see him tie his headband back on. "Yeah, I'm good, like you said we'll have to work together to save Kakashi-sensei."
"Well… Sasuke, you in or are you out?" Toshirama asked the Uchiha. To answer he simply walked forward and replied, "Yeah."
"Well, I think I have an idea. You both willing to listen?" Toshirama asked.
Both nodded as me and Naruto started, "Ninja Art: Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Toshirama created 5 while Naruto had a small army. Zabuza now directed his attention at us as Naruto and his clones charged the Mist ninja.
Naruto's clones dogpiled Zabuza for awhile until the Jonin knocked them all away, with That Toshirama charged the ninja swordsmen and engaged the clone in swordplay taking his attention away from Sasuke who now had a Fuma shuriken he got from Naruto.
Toshirama's clones were struck back along with himself but was able to dodge just in time and recover as Sasuke was about to throw the shuriken.
"Demon Wind Shuriken! Windmill of Shadows!" Sasuke yelled as he threw the giant shuriken at Zabuza. At first, he simply caught the shuriken but then another shuriken appeared, and he was forced to jump this time to maintain the prison he held on Kakashi, but then the shuriken poofed to reveal Naruto.
"Eat this!" Naruto yelled as he threw a kunai at Zabuza forcing him to let go of Kakashi. Zabuza tried to use the shuriken himself but was stopped by Kakashi's wrist guards.
The two continued with their duel as they both showed their capabilities Zabuza as one of the famed Swordsmen of the Mist and Kakashi of the Sharingan Eye.
Before Kakashi even had a chance to finish Zabuza himself, two senbon needles found their mark and flew into Zabuza's neck.
We all were shocked and looked to the tree to see a rather young ninja with a mask on wit the emblem of the Village Hidden in the Mist on it.
"I see… so you're a tracker ninja from the Mist village?" Kakashi inquired.
"Yes, I have been on Zabuza's trail for quite some time and now he's finally mine." The tracker ninja answered.
"So, you're an ANBU from the Hidden Mist is that right?" Toshirama inquired.
"Yes, that's right, I was assigned to hunt down and eliminate Zabuza when I found him." The ninja answered.
"From the way he sounds and his figure, he seems to be around the same as Naruto maybe even a little older, yet he's an ANBU operative." Kakashi thought as he stared down the Mist ninja.
Naruto upset that Zabuza who seemed unstoppable was quite angry at this turn of events, "What is this, what's the big idea!?"
The Mist ANBU said nothing as he seemed to be just staring at Naruto, "Easy Naruto, he's not our enemy, calm down." Toshirama said to calm Naruto's anger.
"That's not the point, I mean did you see that he just took down Zabuza with one shot and you struggled to even beat him, how… how?" Naruto complained as he pointed at the Mist ninja.
"Naruto, in this world there are ninja who just as old as you and your teammates that are way past your level, that's simply how the world works, there are some who grow to be strong and some that are just that strong. And besides, it did happen. Believe it or not, I was a jonin at your ages." Kakashi explained. The four were stunned to hear such an admission.
With that explanation the Mist ninja came and picked up Zabuza's body, "Your struggle is over, I will dispose of the remains. Although he is not like you Kakashi Hatake, there still are many secrets in this body, they must not be allowed into the wrong hands. Farewell." With that the tracker left with Zabuza's body in a sea of mist and leaves.
After Naruto continued his tantrum on how he felt useless before someone like Zabuza, Kakashi stopped him and calmed him down.
We were planning on continuing until suddenly Kakashi-sensei began to fall over, rushing over Toshirama caught him and tried to keep him up with Tazuna helping they carried Kakashi to Tazuna's home as fast as they could.
A Few Hours Later – Tazuna's Home
General POV
The four of us had been waiting for hours as Kakashi-sensei was out cold from exhausting himself using his Sharingan eye.
We entered the room after hearing Kakashi's voice and saw him awake.
"Look sensei's coming too." Naruto said. "Look sensei, your Sharingan's impressive and all, but if it puts that much strain on you maybe it's not worth it." Sakura told Kakashi as he lay in bed.
"Your right. Kakashi said in a low, weak tone. "Still he did manage to defeat one of the deadliest assassins, so I think you deserve some rest." Tazuna replied.
"Yeah." Kakashi said as he lay there.
After a while Kakashi stood up and while we were talking about other things, he had this deep thinking look on his face so Toshirama asked, "Sensei, is something wrong?"
"Oh yes, like I said before about tracker ninja, they normally deal with the body on the spot, but that tracker ninja took Zabuza away from us." He began to explain.
"If I remember he took him, away right?" Sakura answered his concern.
"Yes, but he should've done the work right then and there, but he didn't and that leads me to one conclusion, do you all remember what the tracker used to take out Zabuza?" Kakashi questioned.
"Throwing needles, Senbon." Sasuke answered. "Sensei are you saying that somehow Zabuza's alive?" Toshirama asked with nervousness in his voice.
"Yes, Toshirama that's exactly what I'm getting at." Kakashi answered. Everyone panicked at the news.
"But we saw his body, believe it." Naruto answered unconvinced.
"He's right sensei, you checked him yourself you said he was dead." Sakura reminded everyone.
"Yes, but with all the facts before us it would seem that "tracker" pulled a fast one on us, he stuck Zabuza in his pressure points in order to simulate death on the spot, that's how i believe Zabuza is still alive." Kakashi explained.
Everyone was tense at the news but Kakashi brought everyone back to spirit.
"Well thinking on this won't help us, so for you four I'm going to prepare you for that encounter to come." Kakashi informed his squad.
"Kakashi-sensei what do you mean "prepare us" for another encounter, how can you do that when you can barely move?" Sakura questioned.
Kakashi chuckled as he answered her, "Well, I can still train you."
"Hold on, a little last-minute training won't help us to beat Zabuza, you could barely beat him with your Sharingan, we have to be reasonable here." Sakura warned.
"Sakura, why do you think I could beat Zabuza, because you all helped me, so it is possible." Kakashi answered her concerns.
"He's right Sakura. Believe it Kakashi-sensei we'll get strong and it'll be all better." Naruto replied in an upbeat way until another voice came in.
"No, I don't believe you and it won't be any better." A little boy's voice was heard as everyone looked behind them to see a boy in a white shirt and green overalls wearing gray sandals.
"Inari, how are you?" Tazuna said with a smile as he hugged his grandson.
"Grandpa." Inari cheered as he hugged his grandfather back.
"Inari, that was very rude, these ninja worked hard to protect your grandfather and bring him home." Tsunami answered her son.
"Mom, don't you see these people will die, Gato's men will tear them to pieces." Inari replied.
"Hey, what you say you little brat? Do you know what a super-ninja is? That's me Naruto Uzumaki, believe it!" Naruto replied to the boy's chides at him.
"So, what you might as well leave otherwise you'll be dead." Inari said as he opened the sliding doors.
"Inari, where are you going?" Tazuna asked him. "To look at the ocean, I want to be alone." Inari replied as he walked away.
Naruto tried to chase after him but Toshirama and Sakura held him back. "Naruto, calm down and stop!"
The two let go as Inari had long left, Naruto on the other hand continued after the boy. Toshirama got up and followed him turning around and replying, "I'll go find him he always gets like this, I've had to look out for him, so it's nothing I've never handled."
Everyone watched as Toshirama left to get Naruto and Kakashi was handed some crutches by Tsunami.
"We'll head out fir the forest behind their home, that will be where your next phase of training will start." Kakashi informed the other two.
Toshirama POV
As Toshirama heard Naruto going upstairs he called out to him, "Naruto, stop what do you hope to gain by yelling at the kid?"
"I'm going give him a piece of my mind that's what I'll show what a real ninja is!" Naruto said as he kept walking until he found Inari's room as the two approached, they heard the boy crying.
The two boys peeked inside to see Inari crying over a photo while looking over the ocean. The two stopped as Naruto realized how the boy really felt.
Both boys left Inari to himself as Naruto looked saddened at why Inari was really upset.
Forest Space
Kakashi gathered the four outside in the forest behind Tazuna's house to begin their new training.
"Alright, training starts now. We'll go over a basic review of chakra." Kakashi said as both Toshirama and Sakura began to explain the use of how chakra was made from both the spirit and the body and when focused can helped to enhance your physical prowess or create jutsu.
"What's with all the complicated explanations we've already learned to use chakra." Naruto complained.
"Naruto's right, we've already been using chakra in our jutsu." Sasuke replied.
"No, you've barely scratched the surface of it." Kakashi answered. Naruto fed up, "What do you mean?"
"Calm down, its just like Sakura and Toshirama explained to you, you have to draw on both physical and spiritual energy and then focus them together, but how do you do that?" Kakashi explained.
"Unless you can balance and maintain a certain level of chakra, no matter how much you use it'll be worthless when you trey to use it because its out of sync; use to much and the jutsu won't be controllable or use to little and the jutsu won't work, get it?" Kakashi began.
The other two looked conflicted with Kakashi's explanation, "What I'm trying to say is you all need to learn to control how much chakra you use and know how to use it efficiently, that's what your training is going to be today."
"What do you mean sensei?" Naruto asked. "Well you'll climb these trees, watch and learn." Kakashi said as he stood in front of a tree.
"Climb a tree?" All four genin yelled.
Focusing his chakra to their surprise he began to walk up the tree without the use of his hands, continuing until he was upside down on a branch.
"Focus your chakra at the soles of your feet and climb the tree without the use of your hands, this one way to properly learn chakra control." Kakashi finished.
"Wait, that's a nice trick but how will it help us fight Zabuza?" Sakura asked.
"It's the only way to fight him Sakura, that's the entire goal of this training is to help you master the use of chakra control, as you run up the tree, you'll mark the place where you last made it and so on." Kakashi finished as he threw down four kunai at his pupils feet.
All four grabbed their respective kunai and faced a tree in front of them.
"Now, balance and focus at the soles of your feet. Focus." Toshirama thought to himself as he began to focus chakra to his feet, all four took off up the tree they were facing as Kakashi watched on.
"That's about what I expected out of Sasuke and Naruto." Kakashi thought to himself. As then heard teo other voices above in the trees.
"Hey, this is fun." Sakura said with a giggle as she was siting on the highest branch of her tree.
"You said it Sakura, this is pretty fun" Toshirama replied as he was standing on his branch looking down at Naruto and Sasuke.
"Sakura, big bro." Naruto looked in amazement.
"Well it seems our female member and the real rookie of the year are the best at chakra control, well done Sakura, Toshirama." Kakashi congratulated the two.
"I knew you could do it big bro and you too Sakura." Naruto said. "But it does tick me off."
"Tch, whatever." Sasuke grumbled.
"I thought Sasuke would be impressed, but now he's mad at me, why's it always like that?" Sakura thought to herself.
Toshirama looked to his female teammate and saw her downtrodden look, "Don't worry Sakura, think about it your coming into your own I know you'll be a great kunoichi someday."
Sakura looked to her white-haired teammate and blushed as she heard his remark. She always wanted to get Sasuke's attention yet here's her teammate acknowledging her skills.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds until both looked away with small tints of red on their cheeks.
"Well it looks like Sakura and Toshirama both understand to maintain and control their chakra, we spoke about someone becoming Hokage one day, seems like these two have a much better chance." Kakashi said. "As for the great Uchiha, maybe their not so great after all."
Sakura replied to her sensei, "That's enough, you talk too much sensei. Sasuke's going to hate me now, but on the other hand…" Sakura thought to herself.
She looked to Toshirama who actually acknowledged her while she remembered her talk with the Sasuke back in the park at the Leaf village and how he called her annoying and simply walked off.
Below Sasuke and Naruto were now motivated to beat the other.
"Good their motivated and with their large amounts of chakra this will bring them one step closer to being stronger." Kakashi thought to himself looking at the three boys of Squad 7.
The four continued this until most of them were out of breath, Toshirama thought to himself, "Sure I've made it up there a few more times, but now I'm starting to lose it, maybe I'm running low now.
Toshirama turned to see Naruto heading for his and Sakura's direction. "Hey big bro, Sakura do you guys have any advice on this your good at it, and don't tell Sasuke about his please." Naruto asked the pair.
Kakashi looked on and thought to himself, "Well now he's catching on, and he'll get stronger too along with Toshirama, how strong after all BOTH Naruto and Toshirama possess more chakra than Sasuke, in fact their amounts of chakra are greater than my own."
