Blitz: Very sorry, I was busy with stuff, also I changed the story to K+ because I hardly believe getting a burnt leg is community approved. After I write some filler chapter in this story, I might stop or write two more chapters and then I'll need ideas for a mission. That doesn't mean the story is complete, just taking a break from this story is all.
-----------------------------------------------
"Ow!" Naruto shouted covering his nose with his hands.
Sakura sighed and looked at Naruto, "Baka! If it's called training, you should get yourself ready!"
"But you punch so hard..." Naruto whimpered rubbing his nose. "Like a man…" He slipped in when Sakura turn around.
"NANI!" Sakura shouted at Naruto taking out a kunai and chasing him.
Near Sakura and Naruto were Sasuke and Kitai who were focusing their chakra directly at their hands. They stood quietly with their eyes closed and hands in the sign of the tiger. Sasuke opened his eyes along with Kitai. He smirked and disappeared. Kitai jumped back and waited for Sasuke to come out. Sasuke popped out of nowhere and slid at her. Kitai was cut off guard and tripped and stumbled onto the ground painfully. Her focus was completely shattered.
"I-I'm okay…" Kitai said flinching.
Naruto started to laugh while Sakura giggled, Sasuke merely smirked at Kitai. Sigh. They're gonna end up laughing at me the whole day… She thought while rubbing her eyes.
"Kitai-chan, what's wrong? You usually have total focus with your chakra." Sakura questioned.
"N-Nothing… Just a touch sleepy… I can still train…" Kitai yawned.
"You better get ready Kitai!" Naruto shouted raising a fist into the air.
"Yeah, you better, uzuratonkachi." Sasuke smirked showing a hand at Kitai.
She grabbed it and got up and readjusted her hitai-ate on her arm to her head. Naruto took out a kunai and charged at Kitai. Kitai seemed to be yawning and off guard giving Naruto the chance to get her but at the last moment…
Clang!
Naruto was soon faced to Kitai who was wielding a kunai against him. "You... really… Need not underestimate the sleepy and the sleepless." She smiled pressing her kunai harder onto Naruto's.
He jumped back and threw his kunai right at her. She used her own to deflect it. Naruto used the last seconds he earned and shouted, "Kage Bunshin no jutsu!"
Kitai looked around shocked to see about a hundred solid Naruto. They all charged at Kitai while she took out a scroll and whipped it at the Naruto. Sakura and Sasuke watched in awe as the earth shot forward at all the clones and destroyed them completely. Naruto was shocked to see one flick of a scroll destroy almost a third of his army. She flicked it once more at the other charging Naruto and they disappeared leaving behind a cloud of smoke. "Go Kitai-chan!" Sakura cheered.
Naruto and half of his army charged at Kitai while she took out a kunai and put back her scroll. As they charged on Kitai started to lose her focus once more. She stood unsteadily and put her hand to her head. "Uhg…." She moaned.
Kitai dropped her kunai when it was too late. Naruto had gotten closer and was about to strike without realizing Kitai was about to collapse. Sakura stopped her cheering and Sasuke's eyes widened. Sasuke ran at Kitai while Sakura took out a kunai and threw it at the clones, "NARUTO!"
Kitai used her strength to try and keep standing until finally her focus came back. Her eyes widened in shock to see Naruto about to destroy her. Suddenly, a raven-haired Sasuke swooped in and got her in his arms. Sakura was in joy when she managed to destroy half of Naruto's clones and Kitai was retrieved to safety. "What was that about Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted at Sakura. "And what's with Sasuke swooping in to save Kitai-chan! She didn't need to be saved!"
As Naruto bickered on, Sasuke landed on the ground with Kitai in his arms. She's pretty cute… He thought looking at her face. Kitai's eyes were clenched together and had the childish sign of fear written all over her face. "Hey…" Sasuke said as Kitai opened her eyes. "Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah… are you?" Kitai asked back while smiling.
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked in his normal cool, uninterested voice.
"It looks like you're exploding with anger or just holding your breath tightly." Kitai responded. Sasuke looked confused at her while Kitai smiled once more, "You're face is red… Are you blushing?"
Sasuke put her down and covered his face, "No. I just got hit in the face while saving you from Naruto." He lied.
Of course Kitai was clueless and lost in the world of love and amour, she just couldn't understand that Sasuke liked her as Naruto was clueless that Hinata obviously loved him, but not that clueless. "Yo." said a voice out of nowhere.
Sasuke and Kitai slowly turned in great horror to see their sensei standing behind them. "What do we have here?" He asked looking at Kitai and Sasuke.
"Sasuke saved her from my kage bunshin!" Naruto shouted.
Kakashi smiled, "Sasuke, stay here, Naruto come here. Kitai please train with Sakura."
Kitai ran off to meet with Sakura, "Hey Sakura! Wanna learn some earth jutsus with me?"
Sakura smiled, "Of course!" She paused. "But what's happening with Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke-kun?" She asked in wonderment.
"I'm not so sure myself." Kitai responded taking out an earth scroll and handing it to Sakura.
"Keep it! It's reusable!" Kitai smiled.
Oh How Boys Can Give Such Surprises
"So here's the question... Ahem…" Kakashi said clearing his throat.
Naruto put his arms crossed and asked without hesitation, "Do you like Kitai-chan?"
Sasuke looked at his sensei and his best friend dully, "Why are you asking me this."
"Because the team mate and sensei must know their team mates well! Curiosity is the answer, Sasuke." Kakashi lectured.
"Well, curiosity killed the cat." Sasuke stated brushing off some dirt on his pants.
Naruto snickered, "I bet you do." Sasuke stopped and glared at Naruto angrily. "Just admit it Sasuke!"
"Pff. You can't make me admit anything…" Sasuke grumbled.
"Oh really now…." Kakashi said with a flash in his eyes.
Sakura and Kitai
"First of all, it's called Proof of Earth no jutsu. The name is related to the jutsu." Kitai pointed out.
Sakura opened the scroll and saw that it was mark with the symbol of earth and ancient inscription. "So, you have to prove that there is earth with the scroll?"
"Exactly! Whenever you're about to raise the earth at the enemy, you have to drag it around the ground a little. It sounds weird, I know, but it works!" Kitai explained.
Kitai motioned Sakura to try the jutsu out. Sakura brushed the scroll across the ground and whipped it across the air. "Proof of Earth no jutsu!" She shouted.
Sakura had her eyes closed, afraid to see what had happened. She blinked and saw the earth in front of her arose from the ground, able to tear apart the enemy. "Nice!" Kitai commented. "It's better than mine!"
"But you used yours so swiftly and like you know what you're doing! How could mine be better?" Sakura said.
Kitai smiled, "This jutsu is one of the hardest I learned, just think of the practice you have to do to make it look terrifying and killing. You're a professional."
Before Sakura could respond with a thank you, a scream was heard through out the field. "That was Sasuke-kun's scream!" Sakura gasped.
She ran and pulled Kitai along with her. Kitai was surprised at Sakura's ambition to save Sasuke. They both got to where the boys were, "SASUKE-KU-… eh?" Sakura screamed and stopped.
Kitai stood still speechless and turned around to have her back face the boys and started shake. Sakura had her mouth agape in shock and surprise to see Sasuke tied up and Kakashi and Naruto torture him. "T-this isn't what it looks like!" Naruto tried to explain.
Sakura fainted while Kitai was still shaking. "Are you okay Kitai?" Kakashi asked in worry.
Kitai fell to the ground backwards and to the boys' surprise, she was laughing. "Ahahaha! When I thought Sasuke would someday have fan boys, this is ridiculous!" Kitai choked out while laughing.
Tears started to stream down her face and she started to calm down. She fixed her position into a sitting position. "What were you guys talking about here?" Kitai said wiping a tear away.
"About what we're going to do today!" Naruto responded.
"We're already training, is there more to do?" Kitai asked tilting her head.
"Well…" Kakashi said jumping into the conversation. "We were talking about…"
Oh no you're not. You're not getting an answer from him Kitai! Sasuke thought.
Kakashi slapped his hand onto Sasuke's mouth and continued, "Curiosity."
Sasuke's eyes widened and Kitai tilted her head to Kakashi, "C-Curiosity?"
Kakashi took his hand off of Sasuke's mouth and rushed to where Kitai was. "Yes! Curiosity! Now let's go wake up Sakura, over there! No further questions!" He smiled and said in a hurry dragging Kitai along with him.
Sasuke snapped the ropes around his body and got up, "I have a score to deal with her, but it doesn't mean I like her."
Naruto stared at Sasuke calmly, half of his body was shocked, You're going to kill her Sasuke, the last score, will be the last time… Naruto thought closing his eyes.
Naruto got up and started to walk with Sasuke towards Kakashi and Kitai were. "Sakura. Wake up." Kakashi said nudging Sakura.
"Kakashi-sensei, I don't think you're supposed to treat an unconscious team mate like that…" Kitai said.
Sakura opened an eyelid and saw Sasuke, I'll just wait until Sasuke gives me mouth to mouth… She thought.
Sakura opened one eyelid again and saw Naruto giving kissy lips to Sakura. "UGYAAAAAAAAAH!" Sakura screamed.
"BAKA!"
"BAKA!"
"BAKA!"
Three fists were made to Naruto's head, with an impatient Sasuke, freaked out Sakura and an I-did-it-just-for-fun Kakashi. Kitai looked confused, Who knew these people were so violent? Next thing you know, Sasuke's gonna give me a noogie… Kitai thought dully and twitched at her imagination.
"Now, it's time for lunch and right after more training, try not to throw up this time Naruto…" Kakashi paushed staring at the irritated Naruto. "Also we have a 'special' mission tomorrow."
He stopped at took a glance at Kitai who was listening contently, "Kitai, you are most important for this mission, please let Ryu pack you bag for you; I have already told him about it." Kakashi stated sternly.
"Hai, sensei." Kitai responded almost nervously.
Kakashi set up a blanket and quickly set his food. Sakura sat across from Sasuke and Naruto on the opposite end of Kakashi. Kitai managed to squeeze herself in between Naruto and Sakura. As usual, Naruto took out a cup of ramen and started to slurp away, while Sasuke quietly munched his tomatoes. Sakura at rice balls with a soy sauce filling in the middle. Kitai hugged her knees and looked bored. Naruto stared over to her and saw that her eye lids were drooping. Kitai moved to her bag and took out a bento box and opened it. Inside were creatively decorated rice balls which Kitai didn't seem to care about. She noticed her sensei and three other team mates staring at the box. She shoved it into the middle, "Take some, you guys need to try some of my auntie's cooking." Kitai suggested and smiled.
The four stared at her and hesitated, "Go ahead! Such good food need not be hogged by me." Kitai smiled.
The four grabbed one and took a bit of it, Sakura and Sasuke took a bite while Kakashi turned around and took off his mask to eat it and Naruto gobbled it full. Sakura's eyes brightened and took another bite; Sasuke looked shocked and started to take another bite. Naruto choked and calmed himself down while Kakashi complimented, "Tell you're auntie that these were delicious."
Sasuke merely nodded and Sakura thanked Kitai for the rice ball. "There really good! But they don't surpass the tastes of my ramen!" Naruto shouted in happiness.
Kakashi smiled and set his students off to training, "It's called WHAT?" Naruto yelled directly at Kakashi's ear.
"Ninja hide and seek. Naruto will seek and Sakura, Sasuke and Kitai will hide. The limits are not to kill each other and not go farther than the field and beyond the trees." Kakashi explained. "Also, as a little bonus, whenever you find somebody Naruto, be prepared to catch them and hold them in a position that they can't attack in."
Sasuke smirked while Naruto was shocked and had his mouth agape. "Now… Ready? Go!" Kakashi signaled.
The three dashed off while Naruto was stuck in the middle of the field puzzled. Sasuke was using camouflage while Sakura hid herself high into a tree. Kitai was perched on a branch that was not very high into the tree. Naruto started to run around looked for a team mate. Little did Kitai know, she was going to be eliminated first. While Naruto was far off in the middle of the field, Kitai heard a snap! She looked around and shrugged. She heard a second snap and looked around more and noticed nothing. SNAP!
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Kitai screamed as she was falling from the broken tree branch and face first onto the ground.
Kakashi turned and Sakura was startled. Naruto ran to where Kitai had fallen and shouted, "I GOT YOU!"
Sasuke looked at where Kitai fell and then at Naruto and whispered while sweat dropping, "Two uzuratonkachi, how wonderful."
Later…
Kitai was still on the ground partially conscious while Naruto found Sasuke and caught him only because he gave in because of Naruto's stupidity (A/N: Really sorry to you Naruto fans, but I love him too!). "Are you getting up anytime soon." Sasuke asked dully to Kitai.
Kitai got up and wiped the dirt off her face. Her face was red and her hair was messed up. She shook her head wildly to set her hair in place, "Sasuke … How'd you get beaten by Naruto?" She asked still shaking her head.
"I went easy on him… Still, he has some marks left on him." Sasuke explained almost proudly.
She stared up to him and his proud expression and he looked down at her and suddenly put his hand on her head. "You're short." Sasuke smirked making Kitai ticked off.
"Well excuse me for not being six feet tall." Kitai spat back.
His took his hand off her head and put it back in his pocket. Kitai walked away and saw Naruto. He started to snigger and this made Kitai ticked off even more. She took out a kunai from her holster and threw it at him. "Oi, Kitai-ch-!" Naruto shouted and suddenly stopped as he saw a whole barrage of kunai being flung at him.
Kitai chased him with an earth scroll gripped tightly in her hand. "Let me show you how to fall face flat a thousand times!" She shouted while running.
"Proof of Earth no jutsu!" Sakura shouted.
Naruto and Kitai stopped as the earth came up willing to kill right at Naruto. He screamed and Kitai just stood there. "Hehe…" Sakura giggled whiling showing a peace sign to Naruto.
Naruto opened his eyes to see a small mound in front of him. "OIII!" Naruto shouted.
The day ended with shouts and yells plus laughter from the team, with the next day to wait for Kitai.
