I awoke finding myself unable to move. I looked around I was in a bedroom everything standard a cabinet, a window, a desk, a door. I was lying on a futon it all seemed pretty standard then everything came back zabuza the attack naruto the unbelievable skills, skills even I with my sharingan couldn't copy. I still couldn't believe what I saw
-flash back-
naruto standing back to him two one foot sticks in hand in a not so fighting stance. relaxed but ready. there was no humungous chakra or what not but the sticks held chakra like his whole body did but not only that with closer inspection his clothes also gave off chakra.
-end flashback-
this was not good this was not ordinary he must have had a nightmare no way his student was that powerful/skilled. suddenly a young woman came in she had long black hair and she wore red shirt with an olive green(I think that was the color) skirt that reached below knee. She carried a tray of food.
"hm... I see you are awake sensei", she said a sliver of playfullness in her voice
"How long have I been out?", I asked not looking her way after resting my head again from looking at her entrance.
"three days", she said plainly.
"don't lie", I stated with complete knowledge that that was some bad BS.
"fine you were just brought in four hours ago you should rest you need your strength", she said as she got ready to feed me like I was some baby.
"kakashi sensei!", I heard sakura exclaim as she went to my bedside sasuke trailing behind her. They both sat bedside.
"where's naruto?", I asked them
"he left", was all that was sakura's reply. I cocked my eyebrow at this. "he went out and when we asked where he was going he said he was going sight seeing and he'd be back during meal times.", she finished explaining.
"That boy who took zabuza", I suddenly remembered.
"what about him sensei he's a hunter-nin wasn't he?", sakura asked
"I wish that were so sakura but that boy I feel he's zabuza's ally", I said as the young woman sat me up to let me drink the soup.
"What makes you think that?", sakura asked confusion taking over her mind.
"well for instance the boy could have just cut zabuza's head off or burn the body on the spot instead he used acupuncture needles which can be used to hit pressure points that can make a person stronger, weaker, faint, or even die.", I pointed out as I paused to drink a bit of the soup which the young woman served me due to the fact my arms didn't work yet. realization set in her face as did in sasuke's. "yes", I answered them before they could ask. "zabuza is alive but don't worry with the injurieshe has he'll be in no better shape than me", I reassured them smiling. "but that boy will be a threat so I'll be training you guys to fight on his level", I informed them as I was served soup by the young woman(am I pampering kakashi or what?).
"sensei if what you said is true then we should start training immediately", sasuke told me itching to be trained and grow stronger suddenly rising from his seat
"I am well aware of that but I have to be able to leave this bed in order to do that but it appears 'that' will be tommorrow plus we have to wait for naruto as well", I reasoned out
"but he doesn't need it", sasuke argued
"I know I just want to see how he learned all that", I said
"so would I", sasuke looked away.
"then calm down", I tried to be nice
he looked at me with deadly eyes. wait was that the sharingan! a flash of red erupted from his eyes. "I won't calm down I'll go out there and get the dobe to explain what exactly happened", he ran out the doorway
"sensei...", sakura started looking sadly at me then the door then me again then she left.
"some students you have there", the woman who was serving me soup spoke as she piled the now cleared bowl of soup onto the tray.
"yeah", I said
"especially that blonde one who left he told me to take care of you", she said as she sat down for a conversation.
"really?", I asked her
"yeah he told me quite a bit about you", she said smiling
"really now what did he talk about?", I asked in all curiosity
"well he said you were a very powerful shinobi and would gladly die for your comrades given half the chance if need be", she started and I agreed on every single thing. "he also told me you'd most likely be an enemy spy if you ever came on time he also said your skills are only matched by your pervertedness. he said when on missions you'd stare at many different girls and your drool would seep through your mask he also said that on one mission you were so desperate you just settled for staring at that pink-haired girl's bottom whenever she bent over for the whole mission and he said you carried and read hentai twenty-four-seven", she finished. I was in tears not that my student was insulting me but because evrything was true even the thing with sakura.
"well I'm not that bad", I said laughing nervously
"hmhhmhmhahaha", she giggled. "that's more like the sensei he mentioned. I forgot to add he said you always know when to break the tension at it's thickest", she giggled a bit more I was confused.
"come on don't be like that", I said trying to get a grasp of the situation.
"you just look so cute like a lost little puppy is all", she continued giggling
"you're cruel", I said sitting up
"wow you sat up that kid naruto sure means it when he says your amazing", she commented
"huh?", I looked at myself. "wow I'm miraculously cured", I examined myself. looks like sasuke will get to training sooner.
"so when do you think your students will be back?", she asked looking for a topic to talk about.
"I think by dinner time", I said looking at her. damn she was beautiful not like anko or kurenai but simplicity in itself was beautiful and boy did she look simple not minded mind you.
"hm my son inari will be here by that time as well", she smiled. 'she's married god I thought I could score a big one today tears streamed down my face.
"hm I doubt he's gotten over his father's death", the woman curled up and sadness overtook her features.
"what happened?", I placed my hand on her shoulder to comfort her. she looked at me with tears begging to fall and then she cried on my shoulder. I never knew what to say in these type of things. I patted her on the back trying to soothe her. two words came into my mind but I said them before I could stop myself, "I'll listen". she took one look at me and she wiped her tears and told me what happened to her town and family and everything. as I heqard more I grew more angry at that gatou guy.
"oh look at the time", she said as she finished her story and looked at the clock. "I have to get dinner ready soon"
"okay", I said suddenly something popped into my mind as she stood and took the tray. "I forgot to ask what's your name miss"
, I asked her. she smiled back at me.
"my name is tsunami daughter of the bridgebuilder tazuna", she grinned and left. she is an interesting one I thought.

"DAMN THAT KID!", zabuza shouted as struggled out of bed with bandages all over his body like a mummy
"calm down zabuza your wounds will open again", a young man tried to calm zabuza.
"no haku my pride is at stake", zabuza protested
"no zabuza if you don't calm down your life will be at stake", haku reasoned.
"fine", zabuza finally gave in and lied down
"so I heard your little attack was unsuccessful", a young man said as he moved into the light but the darkness still shrouding his face.
"we'll get him so scram", zabuza dismissed the young man but he wasn't listening.
"listening to the weak is usually foolish", the young man said rather smoothly and smugly zabuza swore he was grinning.
"pls. don't anger us if you don't want to get hurt", haku said rising from his seat beside zabuza's bed.
"the same should be said to you remember you are both as expendable to me as that fool gatou was when he tried to take away something from me tread lightly cause right now you're on the edge of a breaking cliff", and the young man vanished.
"he scares me haku", zabuza admitted
"why zabuza you don't even seem to flinch after all his threats", haku inquired
"that's what scares me most",zabuza looked grim and haku clenched and unclenched his fists.
"I'll go get you a new sword and some medicine", haku went for the door but zabuza told haku to stop.
"no I'll use my old sword that kid has got power beyond understanding like that sword", zabuza then closed his eyes and meditated as he drifted off to sleep.
"I understand", haku walked out the door wondering if zabuza's decision to use 'that' was even sane.

This was great the whole place was a forest and I could do jutsus and nobody would notice not even that large tunnel that was composed of obliterated trees. Suddenly I felt someone was coming to the spot I was at best I rewrap my right arm again before somebody else sees it.
"dobe where have you been?", a frozen fury was radiating from sasuke as he reached my training area. then his eyes widened in shock a spot where there should have been trees were only stumps some smoking for reasons to him unknown. "what the hell have you been doing?", sasuke asked still shocked.
"which do you want me to answer first?", I walked past him. "come on it's time for dinner", I called after him. He just looked at me with confused eyes and followed me. back at the house of tazuna dinner was just about to start and sakura was helping tsunami set up the table.
"ittadakimasu", We all chorused as we began chowing down. after eating we all gathered in kakashi's room. the room was tense cept for me.
"naruto did you have a sensei before you finished the academy?", kakashi asked me. no beating around the bush here just straight to the point.
"sorta", I answered simply. sasuke quivered with an emotion I identified as anger. sakura watched as sasuke kept shaking. tazuna only watched us with interest while his daughter tsunami was in the kitchen dealing with the dishes.
"who was he?", kakashi asked eagerly somewhat(does he know how to hide his emotions or what?).
"forgot never actually asked his name but he was old", well I wasn't lying I knew his name so I never asked and he was old so technically I'm not lying. kakashi bought the story and thought of something else to ask.
"what did he look like?", kakashi now asked
"how do all old men look?", they all turned their attention to tazuna.
"WHAT!", tazuna exclaimed. "dammit! I'm not old!", shouted tazuna as the gears in his mind clicked.
"Anyway-", sasuke cut kakashi off.
"we want to know how the hell you got so strong!", sasuke was already standing when I looked in his direction.
"I trained duh", I answered him like he was retarded or something.
"don't say you just trained", sasuke snapped.
"sasuke just cause you can't grow stronger at a rate faster than everyone else doesn't mean you should be pissed off", I finished.
"you don't understand I need to grow stronger to get back at him to kill him for what he put me through", sasuke shouted loudly.
"DON'T BE SUCH A BABY!", everyone grew quiet the everyone's eyes were on me and sasuke. "don't be such a baby don't let everything be handed over to you cause when you actually strive for something you start to fail. you start to annoy people into taking you as their student to learn all you can and you just discard them. those same people whom you begged and pleaded with denied you cause they saw what you were like. you wouldn't even be capable of mastering anything they taught", I paused to breathe.
"that's not true!", sasuke retorted
"OH YEAH?", I started again. "PEOPLE WHO HAVE BLOODLINES LIKE US ARE ALL THE SAME WE RELY TO MUCH UPON THEM AND WE BECOME CLOSE MINDED BELIEVING THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BEAT US ESPECIALLY THE UCHIHA CLAN WHO USE THE SHARINGAN AND JUST COPY EVERYTHING THEY SEE MAKING ME BELIEVE THEM TO BE THE WEAKEST CAUSE ALL THEY CAN DO IS IMITATE THE ENEMY!", I said all that shouting at the top of my voice and I left without another word. everyone was frozen to the spot kakashi decided to break the heavy silence saturated with sasuke's stirring emotions.
"did he just say he had a bloodline limit?", everyone looked at kakashi.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day was quite nice I did my daily morning warm-ups while everyone else slept it was quite early around 4:00. I was starting out my day regularly. I left at five leaving them a note stating I'd be out training on my own. I walked all over town trying to find a suitable training spot.
"well this should be high enough", I looked down a ravine about a mile or two deep. I took a deep breath taking in the forests fresh air. "It's time", I ran towards the ravine. I jumped at the edge and fell down. everything was zooming past me at an incredibly fast pace rocks and the ravine wall were all in a blur. I looked down and felt a rush of excitement. everything suddenly became slow I saw everything clearly. I saw a rock and reached out to grab it. I hung on and I swung towards the wall. I kicked off of it and then I dodged a huge rock jutting out. I dove headfirst and stretched out my right hand in front of me and pushed off of an outcropping rock. I kicked off of another rock and proceeded to nail a perfect landing on my feet without breaking my legs.
"that was invigorating", I said stretching out a bit as the adrenaline continued to course through my veins. I looked up. "damn that was a long fall",I said as I looked at the height from which I fell. I closed my eyes and began to concentrate now where were they were my team mates that is. hmm they seemed to be in the forest. I teleported there with my shadow teleportation techninque. ya know where I meld into the shadows and meld out the shadow of an obect close to my destination.
I looked upon them training. they were practicing tree climbing sakura seemed to have accomplished it already. I already knew her chakra control was special/near perfect I just wanted her to realize the multiple uses and applications of it including the potentials yet unknown. sasuke was not at all a bundle of power like I am nor is he a control freak like sakura but his skill and technique can catch anybody's eye but the problem is he's too eager to grow he doesn't know how hard it is to learn techniques without the sharingan or a guide he doesn't have a proper principle that can stand the harsh realities of this world to lean on and support him all in all he has limited potential. If he continues at this rate all of his talent would be a waste. I nodded to myself. "yes there is much work to do."
sorry for the short chapter but I promise to try harder for next time. ja ne >0
