(A/N) Alright, so, it goes like this: Chihre speaking 'ANBU/Jonin hand signs' 'mental speaking for humans'.
Naruto conceded. "Yep, you win."
Chihre had her do the sign to finish the match, then handed the reins back over to Sabanthia. "You did well," Sabanthia praised Naruto.
Naruto blushed slightly, rubbing the back of his head. "I let you win."
Sabanthia nodded. "Okay. You keep saying that."
"Redhead, you and Sakura, Naruto, Bell, rest for a moment. Bell, I want you to spar Sasuke after," Kakashi said, a slight glint in his eyes.
"Should I be worried?" Sabanthia muttered to Naruto.
"Maybe," Naruto replied.
Sabanthia walked up to Exodus, touching his arm to let Chihre transfer. "Kick her butt."
Exodus grinned. "I will. Probably."
Of course, you will. Sabanthia's style was more hit stuff, as she can actually absorb hits with her gravity manipulation. Yours focuses on evasion with occasional hitting. It's meant to give you time to use your powers. Raven's style is very close to yours.
'Oh, thanks. Impulse control?' Exodus wondered mentally, facing Sakura. She assumed the same position Naruto had, but significantly better, even to Exodus's untrained eye. Her stance was more firm, and she was better centered, more able to defend.
Of course.
Exodus handed control to Chihre, and his body assumed the stance for the taijutsu style she'd selected.
Sakura wasn't as bad as Naruto, but her style was the same. Unfortunately for her, while her stances and stuff were better, she just didn't have the speed, agility, or flexibility needed to fight Exodus. He bent and twisted around her attacks, retaliating with quick punches and kicks. He was by no means fast for a ninja, but compared to a girl who almost never trained, he was lightning quick. He took one blow the entire time, and it was both glancing, weak, and wouldn't leave a bruise.
He pinned her in under a minute, and having 'borrowed' a kunai from her pouch, he held that to her throat.
"I yield," Sakura said, slightly fearfully.
Exodus went to stand next to Sabanthia, after handing Sakura her kunai back. He clapped Sabanthia on the shoulder, transferring Chihre back to her. "Have fun. Dunno what he can do, but have fun!"
Sabanthia shook her head at him. "Exodus, something tells me this will be less than fun." She walked up to face Sasuke, letting Chihre have control again.
Sabanthia wasn't fast enough to beat him. Even with Chihre using her powers to the best of her ability, Sasuke outclassed her in both strength and speed. Fortunately, when he landed a blow, her abilities slowed it down before it actually hit, making it so even if he threw a full force punch, it connected, but with a fraction of the power.
He ended up beating her, but only by a little bit. She nearly had him. Chihre informed Sabanthia that while Sasuke was very good, she was not supposed to have any formal training, neither did she actually have any. While Chihre spent a lot of time impulse controlling Sabanthia and her friends in practice, she still hadn't technically grown up with a body like theirs. She was still a little stiff. And their bodies weren't completely adapted and weren't fast enough, or strong enough to do all of the techniques the styles offered.
"Good spar," Sabanthia said, offering her hand to the stoic Uchiha.
"Hn," he snorted, turning away and stalking off to the edge of the clearing.
"Rude," Sabanthia muttered, going to stand next to her two friends.
"Where'd you learn to do that?" Naruto asked in awe.
"Clan teachings," Sabanthia heard herself say, and she was thankful for Chihre's quick thinking.
"The Bell clan is like the Nara and Inuzuka clans. They have their own special Jutsus. Are you familiar with them, Bell?" Kakashi interrupted.
"My name is Sabanthia," Sabanthia replied. "And yeah, I know the clan jutsu."
"Care to demonstrate?" Kakashi asked mildly.
"Um, sure," Sabanthia said, looking at Naruto. "Mind being a test subject? It won't hurt."
Naruto looked wary but nodded.
"Gravity style: Object control," Sabanthia said, Chihre feeding her the name and a few hand signs to match. She used her powers to turn off Naruto's personal gravity, and he lifted off the ground. She stopped him around two feet up, leaving him hovering there.
"Gravity manipulation?" Sasuke asked, his dark eyes narrowing.
Sabanthia lifted her head slightly. "Yes."
"And skilled with it too," Raven commented, rubbing a spot on her right arm where Sabanthia had accidentally nearly broken it in a spar.
"That was an accident, I've told you that multiple times," Sabanthia replied.
"Can you put me down?" Naruto interrupted.
Sabanthia waved a hand, letting him drift to the ground. "The Hokage mentioned you'd recognize my clan."
"And your friends, from the Le Fay and Cantelle clans?" Kakashi said, not really asking.
Raven and Exodus nodded as their family names were said.
"What's that have to do with anything?" Naruto asked, scratching his head.
"Well, the Le Fay clan is known for their ninjutsu abilities, and the Cantelle clan is known for their clan jutsu. The Bell family is a distant relative of the Juryoku clan."
"I've never heard of the Juryoku clan before," Sakura said, frowning slightly.
"I wouldn't expect you to. Their entire clan, except the few that weren't in the Elemental Nations, were wiped out. No one knows exactly why they all died, but it left no survivors," Kakashi continued. "The Bell clan is significantly different, and someone from their clan hasn't been seen here in years."
"How do you know all this, Kakashi?" Sasuke asked suspiciously.
"Sensei of my sensei of my sensei of my sensei kind of thing," Kakashi non-answered, giving a smile only visible by his sole eye showing. "Now, who wants to go get a D-rank for today?"
