"Speaking"

Thinking

"Naruto talking to Kyubi in his head/or inner Hinata talking to Hinata"

"Demon speaking"

Traning and Toads –chapter 6

Recap:

The toad's eyes narrowed in outrage and he bellowed "Like a brat like you could hang on." "So we have a deal then?" questioned Naruto. Gambunta humped and said "Sure why not." And then proceeded to take flight.

Mikon looked over at Hinata and said "So how about I give you some training Shinkirou style?" Hinata seemed a little surprised at first but then said "That would be much appreciated."

Now:

With a small smirk Mikon walked over to the shy Huyga and said "Now I'm sure Naruto has already begun your chakra shaping training, I shall instead teach you some Kitsune jutsu specialties. First is the Kitsune Illusion, it is a low level genjutsu and is used by our kits for protection. The basic concept is that if a predator can not see, smell, or sense you then you can easily hid in plain sight."

At Hinata's nod of understanding he began going threw the hand seals, half way threw he grabbed Hinata around the waist and leaped into the air just as Gambunta landed were the two had been standing. The two landed on a tree top and as Mikon frowned the giant toad proceeded to take off with a screaming Naruto in tow.

Hinata looked worried at the sight of Naruto hanging on for dear life; Mikon just chucked and said "It is good training for him, now I'll start again." And with that he showed her the hand signs. As he finished he looked over and sighed as he motioned for Hinata to follow him and the two raced toward the town as a shower of lake water fell down on where they had just left as Gambunta submerged himself and Naruto into a pond.

As Hinata and Mikon stopped in an unoccupied training ground he looked at her and said "Know as you finish the jutsu keep your surroundings in mind use them, wrap them around yourself." As he finished Hinata nodded and began to go through the hand seals as she concentrated on her surroundings.

Slowly her form began to waver as she appeared to disappear. As Mikon smiled he said "Very good, you have officially gotten your first Kitsune jutsu down. All you have left with this one is to master it completely." With a nod, Hinata shimmered into view.

…two hours later…

Hinata panted as she worked on her fifth Kitsune jutsu, this one was called Fox Fire and involved gathering her chakra into her hand then using it to create a bluish flame that was thrown at the enemy. Mikon looked up at the sun then looked at Hinata and said "Well that's two hours, come on Hinata-san that is enough for today." Hinata nodded and followed the fox summon back into the forest.

As the two arrived at the original clearing they found Gambunta landing with a badly bruised Naruto still clinging to his back. As the giant toad came to a stand still Naruto said, "Okay that's two hours, you have to listen." Then he jumped off the toad's head to land beside Hinata.

Panting Naruto looked up at the giant toad and said "You have to listen to Mikon-sama now." Gambunta scowled at the fox as Mikon bowed elegantly to the giant toad "It has been a long time Gambunta-sama." He began "I realize that our clan's have not been on the best of terms since Kyuubi-sama's…rash actions."

At his words Kyuubi growled within Naruto's mindscape causing the blonde to smirk. "I'm listening." Gambunta said with a hint of impatience in his voice. Nodding his head Shinkirou continued "Kyuubi-sama had decided that he wanted to choose an heir, and upon hearing that Konaha was the most powerful of the ninja villages decided that it would be a good place to look. Upon his arrival he scented a specific snake demon who has been Kyuubi-sama's long time enemy. I'm afraid that he lost his cool and decided to destroy the village he wrongly assumed had aligned with the snake."

As Mikon finished his speech Gambunta grunted his acknowledgment. "I would like to say that made it okay, but you and I both know that it does not. However I would ask you not to blame others for Kyuubi-sama's actions. Naruto has proven himself to be a valuable ally to the Kitsune, I ask that you allow him to prove himself to the Toads as well." Mikon finished.

Gambunta got a thoughtful look on his face as he contemplated the fox's words before he spoke "I suppose I can allow that, but do not expect earning the trust of my Toads to be easy." At his words Naruto laughed and said "I would never expect it to be easy after that ride."

Gambunta smirked and said "Good, then I'm out of here." As the giant toad poofed away he remembered another blonde that road on his head. Mikon looked over at the two children and said "Why don't we head into town, the two of you look like you could use something to eat."

At his words two loud grumbling sounds were herd. Naruto and Hinata blushed as their stomachs made their opinions loud and clear. Mikon laughed and lead the two into the town, from there he found a local restaurant and made his way into it. Naruto grumbled about not eating ramen causing Hinata to giggle.

As the three sat down to eat they talked about the upcoming chuunin exams. Hinata looked over at Naruto and said "I think you will do good in them Naruto-kun." At her words Naruto smiled at her and said "Heck yeah! I am so going to kick Neji's butt for what he did to you, and then I'm gonna kick everyone else's butt and become a chuunin!" he yelled pumping a fist into the air.

His outburst drew several stares which the three easily ignored. As they ate they continued their conversation about various things. As they finished Mikon pulled out his wallet and paid over Naruto and Hinata's protests "You two are just genin, you don't get a whole lot for your missions. I'm a…lord. I have more then enough money so just enjoy."

The two reluctantly agreed and the three left the restaurant as they made their way threw the town Naruto said "Well I have to go and train with Ero-seine, Hinata-chan I trust you and Mikon will be alright without me?" he questioned them. Hinata nodded her head and Naruto raced off.

Mikon looked at Hinata and said "Shall we resume your training?" Hinata nodded her head and said "Yes Mikon-san." And with that the two made their way to the forest. Neither noticed a specific red eyed jounin instructor as the passed "I wonder were Hinata is going, and who that was with her." Kerunai said to herself.

…with Hinata and Mikon…

As the two arrived in the clearing Mikon turned to Hinata and said "Okay so I have called one of the local kitsune to be your training partner, and even though she acts the part of the helpless kunoichi she is actually a fairly powerful kitsune." "Hey I'm not a useless kunoichi. If I recall correctly it was your idea that I not show my true strength so I would be teamed up with Naruto!" Sakura said with a huff as she entered the clearing. Hinata gasped at the other kunoichi. "Now that Sakura has arrived we can restart your training," said Shinkirou getting the two young kunoichi's attention once more. A chorus of "Hie's" meet his remark as they began.

…with Jiraiya…

"Such wonderful research material," he laughed as he watched the girls on the other side of the wooden wall that separated the women's bath from the men's. As he continued giggling he suddenly felt someone behind him. As he continued to watch he said "About time you got here gaki, you're late."

Naruto rolled his eyes and said "Yeah I'm sure you have suffered from my not being here." Jiraiya smirked at the youth's antics and said, "Okay kid let's get started." Nodding his head Naruto followed Jiraiya as they made their way out to a training ground.

…with Neji…

Neji dodged a kunai and aimed low as he avoided Guy-sensei's deadly punch. Guy smirked and said "That is enough training for today, let us go and visit your most youthful team mates." Neji scowled and nodded as he followed his teacher to the hospital.

…with Shikamaru…

Shikamaru grunted as he dodged Choiji's meat tank attack. Asuma looked on as his team trained. As Chioji came to a stop he shrunk back to normal and grunted before saying "I'm starving!" Shikamaru and Asuma sighed as the decided to take a break for lunch.

…with Shino…

Shino dodged a pass of Akamaru as he sent out a group of Kaki bugs at the dog and a second swarm was sent out at Kiba as he tried a sneak attack. Kerunai made her appearance and said "I'm back with lunch. You two should take a small break." Shino nodded as the two made their way over to their sensei as she held up a takeout bag.

…with Sasuke…

Sasuke ran towards Kakashi the weights pulling down on him. Kakashi easily dodged him and said "You will have to do better then that if you hope to beat Gaara." With a grunt Sasuke spun around and charged once more at the copy ninja.

…with Zaku…

Zaku sat in the hotel room looking over his wounded teammates with remorse. We should have been warned about Orochimaru-sama's plans to put the curse seal on that Uchia kid he scowled at the wall as his teammates moaned.

…with Tamari and Kankuro…

Tamari sat polishing her fan wondering about her match. She looked over at Kankuro and sighed as he giggled pervertedly, his head firmly planted in an orange book. She narrowed her eyes and said "What have I told you about reading that trash?" He looked up at her and said "Give it a rest Temari will ya." And with that he went back to his book. Tamari narrowed her eyes and stood up. Soon a painful sounding scream filled the air.

…with Gaara…

He sat in the shadows watching Sasuke and Kakashi train. "Why do they bother? They will just end up as blood for mother." "Yesssss give me blooodddddddd.!"Echoed threw his head as he grabbed his head.

…with the Hokage…

Sarutobi sat in his chair thinking about the rapidly approaching finals, and the treat that approached with it. I'm getting too old for this…its time I started thinking of a replacement. With a sigh he looked down at the paper work lying in front of him and got back to work.

End:

There you go the end of chapter six -, you get a small glimpse of everyone's training, but I didn't want to give away too much ya know -. Don't forget to review, and know that all flames will happily be ignored 'nodds head vigorously' yep yep. And yeah I know Sakura has a family but really what do we know about them? So yeah I'm really shocked that you guy's didn't guess her 'shrugs' oh well -.

From my beta Ataraninja: Hey, way to take the credit away from ur beta jenjen. If you recall, I did guess her. Okay so I did like this chapter but what is it with you people. Every fanfic I've ever read turns Kankuro, serious Suna-born Kankuro, into a pervert. I swear I'm going to write a fic that has him as a non-perverted ninja instead of the perv that everyone else makes him be.

HNN: …I gave you creadit like two chaps back…somewere…and as to why Kankuro must be perverted?...every village has to have at least one…plus its just plain fun to write 'sniker'

From my other beta Blue Bunny2:-she still has the others to go over so it may be a while before she can comint here
