My Life As A Shinobi Ch 4

The sun was still on the horizon, dawn barely broken. Naruto awoke in an awfully comfortable position, wearing a warm cloak, wrapped in his lovers arms….wait a minute…Naruto doesn't have a lover! Naruto's eyes shot open and observed the surrounding area, "Oh, its just Itachi."

His eyes sagged once again and he snuggled deeper into Itachi's strong embrace. "My Itachi…"

But not to Naruto's knowledge, Itachi was wide awake listening, and now almost choking. 'I could almost swear Naruto was gonna scream. But…he didn't care that I was holding him affectionately...? oh Naruto, do you even realize that I care for you?' Itachi let out a dejected sounding sigh and shook Naruto awake.

"Otouto. Hey…wake up. We got to start moving." Itachi tried in vain to wake up Naruto. A few minutes later, Naruto was up and whining for food. Kyuubi was getting aggravated and decided to do something about it.

"Oi, kit! If you shut up then I'll teach you a couple new jutsu's." Naruto was silent, and like a lapdog, he sat in front of Kyuubi waiting for command.

"Hey!" Kyuubi called the squad's attention, "I think you all will want to know these jutsu's." Everyone gathered near Kyuubi.

"Ok, these jutsu's aren't fighting jutsu's, but there helpful nonetheless. The first one is called Baiko no jutsu, it enables you to summon food. You visualize the food you want, perform the seals, and shout the jutsu. The seals are – ram, boar, tiger. But this is still summoning, so it comes from another place, it doesn't just appear out of no where. The second jutsu I'm going to teach ya is one of my personal favorites, it allows you to change clothes, and your hair style. Think of the color, style, size, etc, and make the half dog seal, followed by this seal, the demon's ally seal. Naruto, you can do this naturally, as I have done it many times. The jutsu will also work to its full capacity only on you, Naruto. So all you need to do is visualize the clothes and they'll appear on you. Its called Youki Nui no jutsu. Also, an easier and faster way to complete this jutsu is to concentrate on one word you want to describe your clothing, I use this way much more often. This jutsu is of my own creation, so don't spread it around!" Kyuubi gave a pointed glare in Sakura's direction.

They all tried out Baiko no jutsu and completed it correctly, with the exception of Naruto imagining ramen but not visualizing the bowl. It landed all over him!

Kyuubi suggested they all try Youki Nui no jutsu one at a time, a fashion show type a thing. It was more or less agreed to.

Sakura was the first to try out Youki Nui no jutsu. Her normal red and green out fit transformed into a red tight fitting top which mimicked Kyuubi's with her family's crest on the front, along with a pair of light pink Capri's, hot pink bandages wound themselves around her lower arms to her wrists. She donned a pair of red nin sandals. Her leaf hitai, hot pink, was atop her head, as per usual. Her hair was longer and braided, red flecks scattered among the rosy locks. We know who's going to be targeted first, can you say "shoot me" any louder?

Sasuke reluctantly went next. He was successful, his white shorts lengthened to slacks. The normally blue shirt was changed to a deep green shirt with matching arm bracers. The Uchiha crest on the back of his shirt. Black sandals and headband, which was on his upper arm. His navy hair was the same except his bangs grew to his chin.

Kakashi performed the handseals next, donning a dark red muscle shirt and black slacks. His ANBU mark showed proudly on his shoulder. The face mask and hitai turned a beautiful brilliant silver/grey, staying in their rightful places. Black nin shoes were in place of the regular blue ones.

Kisame grinned and tried, just for the fun of it. He unzipped the Akatsuki cloak and placed it on to a low hanging branch, which was actually pretty tall for the rest of the group, on the tree he was leaning against. His short sleeved, black, fishnet, shirt turned a vibrant aqua blue, the loose pants stayed the same, a deep sea indigo. His scratched mist hitai, changed to white. Some bandages enveloped his hands from the wrists. His stomach, not seen until now, had a seal similar to Naruto's, the difference was where the kanji for kitsune was in the middle of Naruto's, the kanji for serpent was there instead. And the hilt of Samehada had turned the same blue as his shirt. The cloaks usual red clouds had dark blue lining now.

Kyuubi chose this time to take her turn, she merely winked to trigger the change. The all black sleeping kimono changed to a dress, very short and pleated like a cheerleader's skirt along the bottom. While the dress was an almost mesmerizing black, the bandages from the day before returned, crimson colored. Her nine black tails and ears remained unchanged. Silver bangles lined her arms. A leaf headband, crimson, solidified on her upper thigh. It was seemingly brand new, except for the gash running directly through the leaf symbol that marked her as a missing nin.

Itachi went next, still without his cloak or hair tie, the first priority of his was tying back his hair with a gold pony, his hair lengthened to a little past his waist. His shirt switched to an all white wifebeater with the Uchiha symbol on the front in gold. The pants were the camouflage colors of oak brown, pearlized white, and gold. (think zaku's scarf from the chuunin exams) his sandals were the oak brown, the same color which cloaked his hitai.

Naruto had to go last, always the dramatic one. All he did was grin to ignite the jutsu. His two black, silver tipped tails proliferated from behind him, the also black fox-like ears popped up atop his messy hair, which was not its natural blonde. Instead it was a crimson, with black sprayed on the tips. His hair had lengthened to random lengths, all past his shoulders, his bangs being the longest draping to the floor. No shirt of any kind and black cargo pants which looked like they had been spattered with fresh blood was what consisted of his attire, on the front of his pants there was an Uchiha symbol in its normal colors. His hitai held the same pattern as his pants, worn on one of his tails. A fishnet trench coat, all silver, was thrown atop of this, what looked to be, piece of graffiti. When you included the sword strapped across his back…he was in one word – demonic. The black in his outfit looked like it was absorbing the light surrounding it. His eyes were in hanyou form.

"You look good kit, like the real demon you are." Kyuubi seemed to be the only one able to speak at the moment. Naruto sported a feral grin rival to a fox's.

"Thanks Kyu-Hime. Can we train now?"

"Fine, but remember that these techniques are mine. Most of them are forbidden and only I will teach when and to whom I want. You will not, understand?"

"Crystal clear."

"Ok, come on. Sasuke! I think you'll enjoy this lesson too." Sasuke seemed to be startled and excited simultaneously. He coolly walked after them to the clearing which Naruto trained in with Itachi.

The brothers stood beside each other, Kyuubi began instruction, "I'm going to assume you both know Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu and Katon: Housenka no Jutsu, now, I'm going to teach you Katon: Housenka Kage no Jutsu, and a demon technique – Katon: Kasumi Enbu no Jutsu."

The Katon: Housenka Kage no jutsu consisted of the original balls of fire, but interpreted shuriken and kunai hidden into the flames. It was quite effective to surprise enemy ninjas. Uchiha's have a natural fire affinity, that meant that Naruto and Sasuke were doing quite well in this practice. Both of them had completely mastered Katon: Housenka Kage no Jutsu and compromised Katon: Kasumi Enbu no Jutsu by noon. Both boys were tired and hungry so Kyuubi called a break for lunch.

They strolled back to the camp to find Kisame and Sakura in a very compromising position.

BACK AT CAMP

A few minutes after Kyuubi, Sasuke, and Naruto left…

"Hey, Pinky. Come on, were gonna train." Kisame teased. If you don't know who he's talking to, you're an idiot.

Sakura's face reddened, "Like you can talk, SHARKBOY!" She hesitantly tread in Kisame's direction, fully intending to beat the crap out of him…or at least until she realized he could probably kill her at will.

He motioned for her to follow him, which she did. They entered a small clearing next to a flowing river. First they practiced tree climbing, which Sakura picked up quite quickly. Kisame told her that it was because she had sub-standard chakra levels. The odd colored ninja then proceeded to water walking. Sakura wasn't as adapt to this, but with a couple hours practice she had perfected the skill.

"Pinky, you ready for some jutsus?" Sakura responded with a vigorous shake of her head. "This first one is called Suiton: Suijinheki, it's a shield made of water." He showed her the correct seals and Sakura practiced for nearly 2 hours. By then it was approximately nine-thirty.

"Hey sharky? Ya think I can try some offensive moves now?"

"Oh, you think you can handle it, huh? Well, I can teach ya a few basics…Here is Suiton: Shigure Ras no Jutsu, its like rain shooting outwards from your hands in a wide spiral pattern." Kisame instructed her in correcting the mistakes in her form and afterwards taught her Suiton: Baku Suishouha, a wave technique. It was to drown or stall your opponent.

Kisame demonstrated this technique. Sakura couldn't dodge however, and copped the attack full on. The water dragged her down. She had over exerted her chakra supply, making her weak. The last thing she saw was the sky before being pulled beneath the torrents. Her mind fogged up.

"Sakura!" Kisame dove under the water, grabbed Sakura, and pulled her ashore. She wasn't breathing…

'What the hell am I supposed to do? She needs CPR, she's gonna die!' Kisame bent down over her, closer, closer…their lips connected. He remembered that Sakura needed help and continued with the CPR.

Sakura's vision cleared to unveil Kisame 'kissing' her. Sakura gasped, "Hey sharky…"

Kisame shot up, "Sakura! Thank God! Naruto would have killed me!"

Kisame hugged her fragile body to his, squeezing Sakura tightly. Sakura flushed. "What happened?"

"Eh…I kinda hit you with the jutsu and you fell into the water. You didn't come back up. so I got you out and performed CPR…I thought you died." He loosened his grip on her to stare into beryl eyes. Their faces moved closer on their own accord, leaving only a small gap between. Breaths mingled, noses touched…and Kisame snapped back to reality, drawing away almost guiltily.

"Kisame…" Sakura lunged at Kisame smashing their lips together in a fervent kiss. Kisame grew more bold, licking and nipping at Sakura's bottom lip. She moaned into the kiss, opening her mouth to allow their tongues to intermingle. They pulled back, breathing hard, smiling. Kisame chuckled, tracing Sakura's jaw line.

"Your pretty good, Pinky." Sakura smirked, almost glowing. She gasped when Kisame picked her up and headed back to the camp.

When they reached the site they sat near the fire, Sakura was still weak and soon fell asleep. It happens to be that she fell asleep on Kisame's lap. He dozed off just after.

That was the scene when Kyuubi, Naruto, and Sasuke came back to rest and eat lunch. Itachi and Kakashi were no where to be found.

A/N don't be too angry, there is an explanation to Kisame's and Sakura's instant reaction and extremely fast-paced relationship. It won't be til around the very end of the story though, sorry!
