Author's Note:
This not only my attempt at Rin fighting against Kakashi. Its also an attempt at giving Rin a fighting style that is unique to her as while Sakura might replicate Tsunade's fighting style for the most part. I do feel there are difference between the two of them, so I wanted to attempt conveying that with Rin as well.

Rin took Kakashi to where Sakura was currently training her at the moment. Looking around her old teammate noticed that there were various craters and what not around. Along with both bend and broken trees all around them. Pulling a pair of fingerless gloves out her pocket, Rin put them on and then began flexing her fingers and stretching her arms and legs.

Wondering if she was really ready for something like this as even if this was just a simple sparring match it would be her first attempt at fighting someone other then Sakura with the bit of training she had gotten so far since deciding she want to be a combat medic as well.

"Wait…Did Sakura cause all this while training you?" Kaskashi asked her.

"Yeah, why?" Rin asked off handed after getting distracted from her thoughts and warming up to answer her him.

This was a sparring match and not just a straight out fight so she was taking out time to get ready for it. After all normally you do not really have time to get ready for a fight before it happened. It just happens and if you are not ready then you are either screwed or have to work that into your fighting style. There are people that are slow starters yet managed to work that into how they fight thus turning it from a weakness to either an asset or their advantage.

"What in the world is Sakura thinking doing this to you" Kaskashi said.

Thinking back he once was the one getting asked this question rather then asking himself. Back when Sakura truly started getting her own combat training with Tsunade and would come home beaten and bruise. This causing her parent to question him as he was suppose to be her sensei still no one from class other then Shikamaru was Chunin level yet. The pride they had that their daughter despite first ninja in family she still chosen the second student of Tsunade. Who until that point only had one other student which was Shizune. Kind of wore thin when she was being bought home by Tsunade herself…unconscious and clearing having been beaten (even though Tsunade always healed Sakura right after their combat training session). Knowing this was probably what happening to Rin cause him understand what Sakura's parent went through back then all the more. Thus did not say any more on this issue.

"I can handle it as all part of the training. Better to experience now then in the actual combat where I can not be healed right away if I get hurt for real" Rin told him narrowing her eyes at him.

"Yeah Ryo told me something similar and were not you both students of the Fourth" Hanabi said.

Neither really commented on the younger Hyuga heiress mentioning Ryo again as it was clear from what they knew she was not aware that she had done it.

Anyway the reason Hanabi was even here was because she was going the one to oversee the sparring match between the two of them. Sure she actually ranks underneath Rin and two under Kakashi, yet her eyes were something that only Neji and her older sister were able to surpass her in. That was mostly because their experience and how well they were at using the family bloodline limit. Other then that Hanabi really had the best basic Byakugan in the entire Hyuga clan, something that baffled everyone really.

"So what should be considered off limits in this spar?" Kakashi asked Rin.

"I want to fight you like Obito fought against you back when we were still a team. So everything is fair game but his Sharingan cause you two have never fought when he had it awaken" Rin told him.

"Why are you refer Kakashi's Sharingan like it someone else?" Hanabi asked.

"Cause it is someone else's and that someone is Obito. So why would not I refer to it as such" Rin told her

The younger Hyuga Heiress and young Nohara about to get into a fight of there own yet were countered. Kakashi stopped them both saying there was nothing wrong with what Rin had said really. His Sharingan was Obito and seeing this might be her way of dealing with Obito's death since it was fresher in Rin's mind because of her circumstances. They each had there own way of coping and seeming this was her even if she was not fully aware of it.

"You do know that even without his Sharingan. He still probably one of the strongest ninjas in Konoha right now minus the still loyal Sanin, Ryo, Naruto and Sakura as the two of them are right now" Hanabi told her.

"Again I may not have changed in a lot of way from twenty years ago but there are things different about me from when Kakashi and me last met. So let get this match started already" Rin reply raging to finally do what she had only dreamed of occasionally in the past just never worked up the nerve to ever do.

Kakashi looked over Rin thinking about how he was going to straight this sparring match off as Rin maybe be a Chunin but normally fighting was not her thing. Staying back and mostly offering support as the healer of the group was her role. Then there this new training that she was getting from Sakura as he was well aware of his old student's fighting style too as it was mostly inspired by Tsunade, her current sensei. Other then that both of them really only had the basic taijustu training that taught at the academy.

The real difference would be what had Sakura in her current state of being done to her fighting style as she now had that tail, iron sand, swords. This was not even including whatever else Tsunade might have taught her but she just never revealed to anyone or what Sasori might have added to her that they do not know about yet.

Though while Kakashi was thinking over how to attack there was someone that was put as much thought into what to do.

"Not coming to me then fine I just come to you" Rin told him as dashed forward.

Thinking this would be a full on assault Kakashi prepared counter or dodge whatever she did but then Rin just seem to vanish into thin air. This was not quick movement or anything she literally vanished and then on instinct dodge a blow that came from his right. Knocking Rin who had appeared on that side seemingly out of nowhere.

"How did you?" He asked.

"Told you there were things different about me now" Rin told as she had slight smirk on her face as she did so.

After awhile of attacking Kakashi all she noticed was that he was dodging her every move. She was not sure if it was because she was still technically a novice when it to this level of hand to hand combat as she had only been training to fight like this for only short time. Sure she had learned a number of new tricks but none of the basic she had incorporated into her style seem never really effect Kakashi at all.

"Come on fight back and take this seriously" Rin demand.

"Are you done losing to Kakashi yet? We could be spending this time thinking about how to get Ryo back" Hanabi asked.

"Fight me!" Rin demand after what thought would be a pretty good aerial attack was changed at the last second to leaving her tumbled about ten feet away from him.

"Look Rin I really do not want to do this" Kakashi told her

Sure he agreed at first but then actually being in this fight itself. Well he now starting to have second thought about this as this was not like when he was fighting against those wanting to become real genin after passing the gradation exam in the academy. It was not like when he wanted to see what Sakura and Naruto had learned over the time Naruto had been gone during his training trip.

This was Rin he was up against and she did not look a day older then when he last saw her either. It was really mess with him and he never really knew what happened to her plus their was the guilt he felt. That he should tried harder that day maybe even went along to ensure what happened to Obito did not happen to her. Though this seem really important to her yet there was just something that was not allow him to do what she wanted.

While Kakashi was feeling conflicted as he was blocked Rin's attacks yet not counter with one of his own. Rin was getting angry as she was learning how to do this to prevent what happened in the past from occurring now. By not taking this serious Rin was starting to feel like Kakashi was thinking she was not worth it. That her efforts were being wasted since as much as Kakashi blame himself for what happened to Obito. Rin did as well probably even more so then Kakashi yet she never let it show cause that was not what Obito would have wanted. Also if she broken down then that would just cause Kakashi to feel worse.

Her training which she would have never thought about before yet after two times where being a better fighter could have helped. The Nohara girl did not want to risk a three time as she might actually die the third time as her luck could run out.

"I will make you get serious then" Rin growled.

While Kakashi did not know how exactly she was pulling that vanishing act or increasing her speed like she was. Blocking and dodging was not that hard yet this time he was in for a shock as when he did so there something very different about the power behind the blow. He was not able to throw it off as before it seem that Rin had learned the basic of increasing the strength of her blows in the same manner that Sakura and Tsunade do. Yet the power Rin drew out only seem be a fraction of what the two older users of this style were capable of. However this time it was as he was knock back and even had a little trouble toss Rin after grabbing her arm.

That was revealed when he saw what had happened to her. Looked at her in shock over what he was seeing.

"Wondering what this is?" Rin asked as she stood there in her stone form "Apparently I can turn into this state because I was left as a statue for so long. Its side effect that was just discovered not that long ago around the time we first realized Ryo was missing. Sakura-sensei told me not to use it until he found though, yet I been practicing alone to try and master it"

This invoked some fear in the copycat ninja as she was messing with something she did not understand fully what if it backfire. The only one that could possibly turn her back was missing as Naruto did not seem to know how to do it from the talks they had earlier about what had gone on since he left Konoha.

Not being able to stay like this for very long Rin went on what seemed like reckless charge where she let loose a fury of blows completely ignoring her defense not that it seem to matter. What blows Kakashi did try were not powerful enough to make her even flinch as she was currently.

Catching her fist in his hand as he was pushed back some in process as she clearly had been using this form to make up for the lack of experience she had in enhancing her strength through her charka. Then looked at his old teammate, who he once thought was lost like almost everyone else he held dear, straight in her eyes.

"Now I am serious" he told her as he vanished from her view

Quickly jumping up she avoid getting grabbed by two hand that appeared yet found herself getting struck in the back landing with thud on the ground. Spitting out some dirt she about to counter again she already saw Kakashi staring her in the face only to have him cold cock her with blow to the jaw that knock her off her feet and into the air.

From there it kind of turned into one sided beating as Kakashi had apparently gotten too serious in his worry for Rin's safety. Doing the best she could with what she had but in the end she was still just chunin that had only recently started to get combat medic training against someone that had been a jonin for over twenty years taking her pretty seriously.

Collapsing to the ground Rin made a small impact that managed to kick up some dirt in the process. A little batter and bruise as her stone form was deactivated right after she flung into the air, yet Rin struggled to get back up again. This is what she wanted a sparring match just like this as she seen them before. Matches that Kakashi and Obito had went Minato was not around to stop them yet she always was watching to ensure things did not get too serious which luckily they never did.

'I….have…to…keep…go…..' Rin thought getting back into a loose fighting stance

Though Kakashi did not engage her anymore merely shocked over what he did as he only did for her own good.

"She really been pushing it as this must be very important to her" Naruto said arriving on the scene.

"Well she did ask for this" Hanabi said waving a hand in front of Rin's face fostered no respond as she apparently pass out while standing.

While Kakashi just seem to be in shock that he got that serious in what was suppose to be a simple sparing match. Like the thought of possibly losing Rin a second time just cause something to snap and he did what he could to prevent that from happening.

Lifting Rin and place her over on his shoulder, Naruto was about try tell Kakashi something yet Hanabi beat him to the punch…literally. The younger of the two Hyuga heiress delivered a jab right into Kakashi's gut.

"While Rin might have deserved what she got for challenge you. That what you get from agreeing to this match then not taking it seriously enough once it had started. Did you think you were doing her a favor…then look around us at the moment do you think Sakura was giving her the same treatment. Cause this area sure does not seeming to convey that idea" Hanabi told him.

After lying Rin down in her bed, Kakashi who still did not undo the genjustu that was making him look the same age as Rin was talking with Naruto (the reason he gave was that he did not want risk the shock to Rin's system thinking it would be better to have gradually rather then just all at once).

"Probably want about Rin's new moves other then that stone form which all I really know about at least is that seemingly type of stone that becomes harder through her own will. Mostly since it clearly far stronger then normal stone even at its default state" Naruto told him.

Adding what Kakashi told about how she used during the match added that she probably using that form to immediately make up the difference in power from Sakura's training. Rin might have charka control almost equal to Sakura's. What she lacking however is not only the charka but ability to make the most of that charka that come only come from training for more then just the short time she had.

So rather then focus on strength, Rin instead decided to focus on speed apply that basics of Tsunade's way of increasing one's strength to increase her own speed. Naruto did not get in the details just explaining that combine it with so other high speed movement techniques she was aware of and trying out. The faster she could the better she could support her team or flee the frontlines if needed to ensure they could fight without having to worry about her. Yet could get them right until Ryo and Naruto helped her out with tips and 'shortcuts'.

Which lead to the one thing that Kakashi was most interested in knowing about after that stone form of hers. How she seemingly vanished into thin air at the start of the match.

A feat Naruto explained that was mostly Ryo's doing though he did help (using Kurama's knowledge on the subject). It all came down to just how skilled Rin was with her hand seals as other then her intelligence it was the thing she was the best. At least occurring to what Rin read in the last official profile that she had been given. With this Ryo thought if she could just forgo hand seal all together with some justus. With Rin's intelligence, her level for hand seal, and most of all her charka control. All she really need was just to be told the 'shortcut' to getting right to the justu without hand seal at all.

While it seemed like it was impossible but really it was not at all if you thought about. People like Tobirama Senju could be powerful justu by merely moving his fingers as he did not have to make a hand seal just move one finger. However Rin was clearly no near that level but in actuality she did not even need to be because that was not what Ryo was aiming for with her.

Rather then going big, instead he explain how to go small as by combining Rin's three strongest trait he was able to help merely visualize hand seal quickly in her mind so that merely thinking about them allow her to do them. At the moment it only works for the basic justu and they do not always last as long nor are they always as good but given time that should get better over time. Rin also connected this to method of using charka to enhance her strength and speed.

The amount of charka control, charka, thought, and follow through need to produce strikes and blow that Sakura and Tsunade are capable of is massive yet to them its second nature almost no different then just throwing a normal punch. So the more Rin trains with Sakura the more justu she be able to do without hand seals.

"Should not Sakura be capable of doing this at level Rin currently at too?" Kakashi asked.

"Funny thing is she can not as Sakura has tried…a lot. She feels that she can and should be able to do but can not explain why she is unable to do it as even Rin's level" Naruto told his original sensei.

The tone and way he was told gave Kakashi the impression that there something Naruto is not telling him about Sakura nor have he even shared with Sakura herself for that matter.
