WARNING: FLUFF ALERT! NEAR THE END ANYWHO... Sasuke is out of character..but hey..he's seven in this chapter...
At Orochimaru's hideout
Orochimaru and Sasuke sat in front of each other. Both having their secret staring contest. Niether knew who started it. They just sat down and started to star at each other one day. Having enough of the torture, Orochimaru leaned over, without blinking, and blew into Sasuke's face. The seven year old blinked in surprise and wiped with face.
"You cheated!" Sasuke yelled.
"No, I just found a weakness and went for it. You can't always be patient," Orochimaru said flatly. Sighing, he got up. "Come, Sasuke. You have more lunch hour is over."
Sasuke got up and followed his master. "Sensei! If I practice hard enough, will I be able to have a long tounge...JUST LIKE YOU????"
Orochimaru pictured a little mini version of him following him around. Frankly, it was just creepy. Only he, Orochimaru of the great three sennins, could be creepy. "No."
"AAAWWWWWWWW," Sasuke said.
Orochimaru sighed. "We are going to learn how to control our emotions, today."
"Why?"
"So that the enemy does not know what you are about to do," Orochimaru replied.
"But Sensei...I have no enemies!!!" Sasuke said.
'Not yet...' Orochimaru thought as he watched Sasuke jump around the trees.
"Okay, I want you to show me some fire jutsus!" Orochimaru yelled.
"Hai!" Sasuke smiled.
"See that! Don't let the oppenent see your emotions. I don't want to see sadness, anger, okay maybe a little anger, happiness, or anything." Orochimaru demanded.
Sasuke nodded and did his best to not laugh or anything. Quickly doing the seals, Sasuke took a breath and blew out fire, burning a branch off a tree.
"What was that?! You blew down a branch! Do it again!" Orochimaru yelled. Sasuke nodded and blew out fire again. This time, hitting the bark but not completely burning it.
Sasuke quickly showed heisitation. Orochimaru yelled again. This time about no emotions. The poor five year old finally reached his limit about the tenth fireball. Exhausted, Sasuke was about to sit, but Orochimaru stopped him.
"If you sit now, all your muscles will rest and it will only hurt more when you get back up. Now, 100 push ups!" Sasuke groaned. "Don't whine! 100 is nothing compared to what you will be doing when you turn ten..." Orochimaru grinned. Sasuke, scared, got on the ground and did the pushups. "I don't care how long it takes you, just do them!
"Hai, sensei," Sasuek said. This was when Orochimaru liked his student. Sasuke was a darken soul at heart but never showed it until he was pushed to his limits. Orochimaru guessed that because of his home and his older brother, Sasuke was pushed to his limits. So when that came, Sasuke would become this icy cold hearted kid. Orochimaru planned to let that part of Sasuke stay for good.
"After that, ten laps around the forest. Year by year, I'll increase it ten more. Then, I'll teach you how to channel chakura with your feet. And damn it! What kind of Uchiha are you!? You can't even channel chakura right!!!! Damn it, I should have chosen a student who knew to channel chakura..."
At some random mountain
"HAAA CHOOO!" Little Sakura sneezed, wiping her little nose with a napkin.
"Something wrong? You got a cold?" Tsunade asked. Sakura shook her head. "That's good. Coming to think, we should get going. I'm going to teach you how to climb trees today without using your hands. It's pretty basic. First, you channel chakura to your feet, only enough to keep you steady, then, walk on the tree, extending chakura each time. I know your're only seven, so don't you worry, you can fail and try again next..." Tsunade wandered off with her sentence as she saw Sakura sitting on a branch danglign her legs. Of course Sakura didn't have much chakura so she could only climb so high.
"Did I do it right, Tsunade sama?" Sakura asked. Her voice was bored as always.
"Damn her for having this good chakura control..making me look bad..." Tsunade mumbled to herself.
"Tsunade sama! I'm bored!" Sakura yelled.
"Hey! Just cause you climbed it, does not mean you mastered it! Your great at channeling yor chakura, but average at everything else! Well, taijutsu your're kinda below average...I guess we should work on that, and shuriken throwing..." Tsunade mumbled again.
"This chakura stuff is easy. I don't see why people have a hard time on it," Sakura said dully.
"Don't have an ego with me, young lady. You get down here and train with your medical herbs while I get back from the store, I need to get more shurikens for your practice." Tsunade said.
"Awww, I wanna come, medical is so boring!!!" Sakura whined, "I studied everything!!!"
"Studying it, and doing it are two different thing, Sakura. You have the control and minds, I'll say that, but you lack the strength and experience that you need. I'll be going now. Go heal some injured creature or something...like a chipmunk.."
"There are barely any chipmunks on a mountain...IN THE FREZZING SNOW!!!!!" Sakura yelled. It wasn't a blizzard or anything, it was just...really cold.
Hah, you didn't think they would be in the snow, did ya!?!?!
"Think of it as your training!" Tsunade yelled. "Get some wood for the fire too!" With that, Tsunade dissapeared.
Sakura sighed. She tossed her hair back. Sakura still hasn't gotten over the habit of getting the hair out of her face.
at a waterfall
"Oh yeah...look at them...ooooo..." Jiraiya said. His eyes scanning over all the girls. He grinned pervertly and started to laugh to himself.
"Old man...." Naruto began, he had his arms out and was sitting in a space chair position. So it hurt badly. His legs wobbled and Naruto winced as the weigth he held in his arms shifted. "How many more minutes?!?!!?"
"HUh? Oh, you were done hours ago..." Jiraiya said. He shook the "guilt" off and went back to spying.
Naruto dropped the weigths. "WHAT?!!?!!?!!?!?"
"Naruto...you'll scare all the girls away..." Jiraiya pouted. Suddenly, he felt his ears being pulled.
"PERVERTED OLD MAN!!!! YOU MADE ME SIT IN THAT POSITON FOR HOURS!!!! AND YOU LOST TIME STARING AT NAKED GIRLS!!!!" Naruto yelled. Then, Jiraiya and Naruto heard scearming and spalshing on the other side. Jiraiya opened the bushes a little and pouted as there were no more girls.
"Wah...they left me...I was getting inspiration for my upcoming book series too..." Jiraiya said.
"Ew! I don't even want to know that!" Naruto yelled. He covered his innocent ears.
"Oh don't worry, it's gonna be for years eighteen and up," Jiraiya said, patting Naruto's back. "There there."
"Just train me....please..." Naruto cried. He wanted to get the horrible images out of his head. Jiraiya laughed and patted Naruto on the head. "No worries, today we'll be working on your chakura. Hmm, it's getting late though, we'll do chakura training tomorrow. Now, Naruto, yesteray you told me that there was another chakura in you?"
"It felt like it..." Naruto looked at Jiraiya's serious face. "Old man...am I going to die???"
Jiraiya stared and then threw his head back and laughed. "No, your not! Hahahahaha..your such a naive little boy. But since your only seven, we should talk about this when your older."
Naruto grinned really big. "No! I wanna talk about it now! I wanna get strong! Because I heard that when you become strong people will look up to you! And-and they say! That uhm...when you get strong enough, you could be this guy that wears a triangle hat and junk!!! I WANNA TRINGLE HAT, OLD MAN!!!!"
"You never cease to amaze...fine, i'll tell you about this other chakura...you see Naruto. You, have another, say, personality. It's like, you have two things living inside your one body. But your the dominating force you see? But, if there comes a time where you need more power, you just have to summon up all your chakura and call out this other side of you." Jiraiya explained. Naruto looked at Jiraiya with his innocent face.
Suddenly, Naruto grinned even wider. "But I'm stronger, right? After all, I am the dominator."
"No, Naruto. It's well, kinda like a first come, first serve thing," Jiraiya said.
"OOOOOHHHHH, so how do I call out this other side?" Naruto asked.
"You just do," Jiraiya said. Getting up, he walked along the path that would take them to the hotel. "Just try ever once and a while. Getting this other side of you is just calling out chakura, that's all. You just need more effort."
Naruto stood there. His eyes, full of curiosity. "..effort...?"
"Come on, Naruto, I'll treat you to ramen," Jiraiya said.
Naruto smiled. "Hai!"
The petite boy ran after Jiraiya, his small legs, trying to keep up with him. Jiraiya looked at the sky full of stars, there was no moon tonight. Just the stars.
"It's so pretty! You know, everyone is so scattered around. People barely see their friends. But you know what? When you thik about it...we're all just looking at the same night sky!" Naruto yelled. Jiraiya hoisted Naruto up so that Naruto could sit on his shoulder.
"Aa. I suppose that's true. If you wanna get all mushy on me," Jiraiya said.
"EEEWWWWW.. No!!!"
Tsunade and Sakura
"Look, Tsunade sama!" Sakura yelled. She got out of her tent and ran outside.
"Sakura! Put your damn jacket on!" Tsunade yelled. She followed the pink haired girl and buttoned the bright pink, snow jacket on her. Sakura squirmed, but Tsunade always won in the end.
"Tsunade sama! Tsunade sama! Don't the stars look so clear and beautiful, tonight?" Sakura asked eagerly. "Let's go to the highest peak! I want to see if I can touch the stars!"
Sakura jumped on a hill and reached her hands out, trying to touch the jewels in the sky. Tsunade followed Sakura, evev though she knew it was impossible to touch the stars .She sat down and pulled Sakura's towards her so that they were both facing the sky. Tsunade reached her hands out with Sakura's.
"It's like the Gods have made them for us," Tsunade whispered to Sakura.
Orochimaru and Sasuke
Sasuke stared up at the sky. Little shiny jewel shards scattered around the dark blue canvas. Sasuke watched on the rooftop of his cabin. His eye's scanned a star, which suddenly fell from the sky. Sasuke's eyes widened. "Sensei!!!!" Sasuke yelled. He jumped from the rooftop(aiko: hey, he's been training with orochimaru! he could jump two stories at the age of ten!) to the ground. Running inside the cabin, Sasuke jumped on the bed. Orochimaru instanly woke up and stared murderously at Sasuke.
"What," Orochimaru demanded. Sasuke froze.
"Will..you yell at me? Will you yell at me just like niisan?" Sasuke asked. Orochimaru shook his head. He could not believe this.
Putting his hand on his forehead, Orochimaru replied stoicly, "What do you want?"
Sasuke exhaled his relief. "I saw a star fall down from the sky! Where will it go? Is it going to die?!"
Orohimaru couldn't believe what he was hearing. His student, woke him up for this?! Orochimaru then confirmed to raise up Sasuke's pushups to 200. "It was not a star, Sasuke. It was a comet. Pieces of dust that has entered the atmosphere due to gravity."
"B-but it's a star..." Sasuke said softly.
"No, Sasuke. Do you even know what a star is? It's a bunch of dust and left overs from another star, combined to form a star. Pure scientifical," Orochimaru said. Hearing no response, Orochimaru gloanced over, to see Sasuke looking down on the floor, obviously feeling stupid.
Sighing, Orochimaru could not believe what he was about to do. Taking Sasuke by the wrist, he yanked him outside and made him face the stars. Orochimaru knelt down to Sasuke and said, "Each one of those stars out there, have a universe, Sasuke. In each one of those universe, there are hundreds of galaxies. Every one of them have a chance of having their own life. So when you look at the sky, your not just seeing stars or jewels, whatever you kids call them now. You are looking at so much more than that. So when you look at the sky, think about all the worlds there are out there."
"There are..so many..." Sasuke whispered. He suddenly let the kid inside of him go, as he ran out into the opening. Sasuke took out his arm and started to wave, "Hello!!! Hello out there!!! I'm Sasuke!!! And this, this is my sensei, Oroch..something!!! Hello!!!"
Orochimaru stared into the sky. "This fluff, happy thing, really needs to end now."
AIko: OMFG OMFG OMFG. THIS...WAS TOO FLUFFY(for me)...WAAAAHHH...SASUKE IS TOO OUT OF CHARACTER FOR HIS OWN GOOD!!! bows SORRY YOU SASUKE LOVERS WHO LOVE THE COLD SIDE OF HIM! I SWEAR, HE WILL LEARN TO CONTROL HIS EMOTIONS MORE..THANK TO OROCHIMARU! DAMN..I WOULDN'T WANT OROCHIMARU AS A TECHER...
