Authors Note: Hi guys! I'm back with a new chapter. School starts in five days and I'm scared to go back. I'll also have less time to update. This month also ends on the 31st so guess what? That's when I'll have to move onto Fullmetal Alchemist month. It'll be a while until I come back to Naruto month, so I'm sorry about that. But let's be happy while it lasts okay? Onto the story!

Chapter 11: Tree Climbing
Kakashi opened his eyes to see that he was in a room that he didn't recognize. He then heard the door open.
"It looks like your friend is awake," a woman said with a soft smile.
"Took you long enough." Naruto muttered as he rolled his eyes at Kakashi. "Probably getting his beauty sleep in."
"How long have I been out?" Kakashi asked with confusion.
"A little over three hours," the woman replied.
"And who is this nice young lady?" Kakashi asked as he looked up at the woman from where he lay on the futon.
"This is my daughter, Tsunami." Tazuna said with a smile on his face.
"Good to meet you Tsunami, my name is Kakashi Hatake." Kakashi said.
"Nice to meet you to Kakashi," Tsunami said with a warm smile.
"Alright, now that the introductions are out of the way, I think Kakashi has something to say." Naruto said as he crossed his arms and looked over at Kakashi while Kurama sat next to Naruto and rolled his eyes.
"What is he talking about Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked with annoyance and Kakashi let out a sigh.
"Well, for starters, Zabuza isn't dead." The whole room went silent.
"What do you mean he's not dead!?" Tazuna asked with a startled voice. "You were suppose to take care of him right? That's your job!"
"Well, I thought that stranger would take care of him but apparently not. Zabuza was in a death-like state and I'm pretty sure that the stranger was working with him." Kakashi explained.
"This is definitely a problem." Naruto said with a frown. "If Zabuza is still alive, then he will probably still try to come after Tazuna."
There were suddenly footsteps and a kid ran into the room and over to Tazuna.
"Grandpa! You're back!" The kid said with delight as he hugged his grandfather.
"Who is that?" Naruto asked with confusion as everyone was silently thinking the question.
"This is my grandson, Inari." Tazuna replied with a smile.
"Anyways, I'm going to be training you two starting tomorrow." Kakashi said as he looked over at Sasuke and Sakura. "I need to prepare you for the fight with Zabuza.
"What about the loser? Don't you have to train him to?" Sasuke asked with annoyance while Sasuke was drooling over training with Sasuke.
"I have better things to do then train with a stuck up bastard like you." Naruto said casually with a smirk which only angered Sasuke.
"Now, all of you go get some rest." Kakashi said and the three nodded and headed out of the room.
Naruto opened his eyes and saw sunlight filtering in through the window to the room that he had to share with Sasuke. Naruto sat up which woke Kurama up.
"Are you ready for some training today?" Kurama asked and Naruto nodded with a smirk on his face. He stood up and walked over towards the door but stopped and looked over his shoulder at Sasuke who was still sleeping.
"You better wake up bastard before I eat all the food." Naruto said causing Sasuke's eyes to snap open and Naruto just rolled his eyes and left the room.
After breakfast Kakashi took the three into the forest not too far away from Tazuna's house so they could start training.
"You all know what chakra is, right?" Kakashi asked and they all nodded.
"Yeah, Iruka-sensei taught it to us." Sakura replied smartly.
"Well, you will learn chakra control today." Kakashi said and Sakura and Sasuke gave him a blank look while Naruto rolled his eyes and Kurama snickered remembering how hard it was for Naruto to control his chakra.
"What does this have to do with anything?" Sasuke asked with annoyance since he clearly had no patience for these things.
"It's to make the jutsu you cast stronger and to make sure it doesn't backfire on you." Kakashi explained and Sasuke just rolled his eyes.
"Like that's ever going to happen to me…" Sasuke muttered but Kakashi ignored the complaint.
"How are we going to learn chakra control sensei?" Sakura asked with curiosity. She wanted to be stronger so she could impress Sasuke.
"By climbing a tree."
"What?" Sasuke and Sakura asked in unison with confusion.
"What does climbing a tree have to do with anything?" Sasuke asked and Naruto rolled his eyes again.
"You can't use your hands though." Kakashi said which confused the two even more. Kakashi made a hand sign and gathered chakra at the bottom of his feet. He then climbed up the tree using just his feet.
"What about the loser? Shouldn't he do this to?" Sasuke asked then smirked. "I bet he isn't doing this because he can't."
"Whatever bastard. I can do this easily." Naruto replied as he rolled his eyes for the third time.
"Then prove it." Sasuke hissed and Naruto just shrugged. He gathered chakra at the bottom of his feet without using a sign and easily walked up the tree. He jumped off the tree and then landed on the ground and snickered when he saw the hate in Sasuke's eyes.
"Now, get to training you two." Kakashi said and threw a kunai at their feet. "Use this to mark how high you get and keep doing it."
Naruto and Kurama headed away while Kakashi watched with a narrowed eye.
