Chapter 6: Team 7's training

Both Naruto and Sasuke were astonished with Yagami's swift agility and creation of his own combo considering that they had their 'Naruto Rendan' (Naruto Combo) and 'Shishi Rendan' (Lion Combo) respectively. Naruto than began to boast, " Hokage-sensei's Ryu Rendan is the most powerful combo, than that makes my the second!" Sasuke, hearing what Naruto said, sarcastically answered back, "Yeah, second most powerful…from the bottom that is."

"What's that you say Sasuke? You wanna go at it to prove who's stronger?" Sasuke smirked, "I will, but I rather waste my time on stronger opponents." With the two bickering about their strengths, Yagami took his time to know more about Sakura. The teenage girl blushed when every question was asked. Being the weakest of the three in martial arts, she took up skills of medical and healing abilities for she was told that she has good control of her chakra. Yagami smiled and cheered her up, "Well, never look down on yourself. Everyone is special in their own unique abilities." Little that they know they were being spied on. Back at the motel, Yagami, being the only one awake in the wee hours of the night worked on the profiles of the group of rebels. Upon further researching he narrowed down to a group called 'Shinsengumi', a group of swordsmen who served the Shogun and guarded him heavily. Yagami had a brief encounter with them during his days of disappearance. He even trained with them and picked up a few swordplay skills, which might prove to be of some aid as he learnt they have turned to apathy and jealously under the new and corrupted Shogun.

"Come on, wake up younglings. Time for your daily training." It was going to be a tough morning as Yagami was going to train the three Chuunins on improving their specific jutsus. He began with Sakura. "Okay, I'll teach you 'Ninpo: Sozo Saize' (Genesis Of Rebirth). It is a very powerful healing skill when you're wounded or substain any injury as this skill can save your life. Yagami demonstrated by cutting a small wound on his palm and then focused his chakra to heal the wound. Next it was time for Sasuke to improve on his 'Chidori' (Thousand Birds).

"Sasuke, now that you've achieved the Makekyo Sharingan, the accuracy of hitting a direct strike is higher. I want you to focus on hitting that tree, only hitting the center and not the rest of the tree to make the leaves fall, I show you." Yagami charged up his 'Raikiri' (Lightning Edge)and ran towards a tree, hitting the center of the trunk as leaves came falling down from the branches. Finally it came down to Naruto. Seeing Yagami teaching them to improve on their strongest jutsus, he was presuming that the Hokage would train him on strengthening his 'Rasengan'. Yagami than approached the Chuunin. " Ah yes, Uzumaki Naruto. Having a fair share of battle in our past encounters I'll teach you on your taijutsus. When you perform your 'Naruto Nisen Rendan' (Naruto 2000 Combo), you tend to lose more chakra. I'll teach you a more effective way. Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" A pair of clones appeared and Naruto was instructed to defeat them. Naruto handled with ease as he defeated the first clone but as he turned around to face the next, two more appeared and grabbed hold of him, catching him completely unaware of Yagami's quick one hand seals.

"Bushin Daibakuha! (Clone Explosion)" All three clones exploded in splashes of water followed by another jutsu executed by the Hokage, "Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu! (Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique)" the clones that were exploded into water fused together into one large water pillar, engulfing Naruto in it before exploding again, assuring that the opponent was knocked down. Naruto couldn't believe what he had just witness; two moderate jutsus combined to become a massive chain combo, and the 6th Hokage didn't even break a single drop of sweat.
