Yosh! Now the next chapter in a two-hit combo!! HAHAHA!!
------------------------------------
The young members of team 7 were gathered in a small clearing in the forest. Kakashi had decided that he should use this oppertunity to train the young ninja while he rested up and also to keep an eye out for more trouble. Zabuza may be dead, but that boy...
Naruto was pacing, antsy to begin the next phase of training. Sasuke and Sakura were leaning against trees, the latter with dark circles under her eyes. Neither of them had slept very well, because they had been unknowingly affected by Naruto again during that last fight. The dreams had become more ...vivid. Sasuke only woke up once during the night, but poor Sakura had woken up more than half a dozen times. Every time the dream began to get hot and heavy....
After an eternity, Kakashi finally appeared, still on crutches like the last few days. That fight had drained him of almost all of his chakra, and now he was supposed to be bedridden. But he obviously had better priorities.
"We're going to climb trees." He said with a grin. "Without using our hands." The jounin then explained that it was an excersize in chakra control. If you could concentrate a continuous level of chakra into the soles of your feet --enough to hold you to the trunk, but not so much you burst through it-- then no juutsu should be beyond their reach. He then demonstrated by crutch-walking strait up the trunk of a nearby tree and stopped upside down on a thick branch.
That was enough. All three began climbing. Even tired, Sakura managed to get to a high branch in one try, due to her exceptional chakra control. The other two ...didn't. Naruto got a few feet up, then fell on her head. Sasuke got a few feet higher before he jumped off. Kakashi noticed that as they kept trying, Naruto was gaining height at an incredible rate, leaving Sasuke in the dust. Also, he was able to sense that while Naruto still had a large amount of chakra, it was significantly less than she had when she was still a he. This verified something the silver-haired jounin had been speculating for some time.
Individuals with any skill in the use of chakra develop it pretty much the same. The exception is with the two different genders. Males have a tendancy to posses a large amount of chakra, but have less control over it. The females, however, don't have nearly as much chakra, but they can control it extremely well. There are a few exceptions, but not many.
Kakashi was jolted out of his thoughts by a slight rustle of leaves, followed by a grunt and a thud as the body of Sasuke fell from a high branch with a sickening thud. His eyes were open and blank, as if dead. Glistening from deep in the side of his neck were 3 black senban. Throwing needles.
-------------------------
Kinda short, but oh well. So far, so good, ne? R&R!
And sorry again about taking so long!!
