The most people would say something important in the header of thheir storys but a couldn't come up with some writable. So here's chapter four.

The white storm of Konoha – chapter four

It was five days after the begin of Narutos tort... ahm training. Jiraiya was watching him fight with a few clones and relaxed with a cup of sake. The training of the brat was in fact more boring then exhausting. For him, not for the boy, that goes without saying. Naruto made quite some progress but every time he became adjusted to the training Jiraiya made it harder to push him over his limits. Deep in his thoughts Jiraiya felt nonetheless a well-known chakra-signature behind him.

"Yo!" Greeted the jounin with the gravity braving hair. Slowly he sat down to the ground next to the author of his favorite novel. Normally he would beg for an autograph, but today the great Jiraiya was just the newest sensei of his student Naruto.

"Ah, Kakashi. Long time no see." (OK, it wasn't as unexspectet as I wanted to be with the title of this chapter.)

"True true." Said Kakashi with low voice. A few minutes he watched Narutos fight but then he realized these shining blue eyes and the sun-kissed blond hair. His face reminded him so much of the past. Jiraiya, seeing his mien or at least a quarter of it (face-mask, hitai-ate, you know the stuff), he came to the right conclusion immediately.

"You see him the first time without his Kyuubi-marks right?"

"Yeah."

"It's amazing isn't it?" Jiraiya sipped on his sake anothertime.

"Huh?"

"Everyday I see him he reminds me more of him."

"I know what you mean. It's almost like a mirror of the past, almost like he's reborn." Stated Kakashi sadly.

"Nonetheless he isn't him. But he is his and her son. His attitude reminds me a lot of her."

"Yeah, that sheepish grin and the love for ramen. But I guess these shiny blue eyes of him remind me the most. By the way, how many people know?"

"Five."

"Who is it?"

"Sarutobi, Tsunade, you, myself and the ramen-stand owner. How was his name? Ichuraku Teuchi I guess."

"Ichuraku? How…?" Kakashi was quite surprised.

"She was like a daughter to him and Narutos whole attitude made him curious. He asked me seven years ago and I felt like I owned him an answer."

The Copy-cat ninja was worried. If an ramen-stand-owner gets curious about Narutos heritage it wouldn't be as easy as he thought to leave the secret in this low circle of people.

"How longer did you think we can hide it."

"Best or worst case?" asked the frog-hermit.

"Best."

"Till he's 18 and than we have to tell him nonetheless."

"And the worst case?"

"One or two months."

"Why such a short period of time?"

"Every hidden village is in place for the exams. Iwa is too. Some of the jounins are old enough to remember. Some of them might even met him personally. Not that's so important. He had a flee-on-sight order on his head. Every Iwa-nin in the right age might know his face."

"Shouldn't we hide him in that case. Better let him miss one chounin-exam then provoke a ware with Iwa."

"He would beginn to ask questions. Questions that we're not allowed to answer till he's 18. Furthermore, look at him. He's incredible. Not a genius, a hard worker with the dream to protect his friends and become acknowledged. It will crush him."

Kakashi opened his mouth but Jiraiya cut him of.

"When I began his training I sealed him with a gravity-seal level 10."

"And he can move so fast. It's incredible."

"Yesterday I doubled the seal."

"…" Kakashi was speechless (quite needles to say)

"Hehe"

"How did you train him."

"I taught him the water-walking exercise. The first tree days he used his Shadow-clones only to work on his chakra-control. It was horrid but now we've a base to work on with. I taught him the neko-stile too and began some exercises for stamina, strength and speed. Since yesterday 60 clones of him work constantly on his chakra-control. 60 are training their wind-chakra, yes he has this affinity. 40 learn some Fuuton-jutsus and 20 try to learn some tactics from a friend of mine."

"How do you get him to learn tactics."

"Shadow-clones doesn't protest like the original and I gave him a wigging…"

"And…?"

"I threatened to buy all the ramen in town and burn it in front of his eyes."

"Nice." Kakashi gave him a small eye-smile

"And effective." Another swallow. Yes sake was the best. "By the way Naruto have a lightning-affinity. Bother to teach him how to use it and some jutsus?"

"Maybe it's not a bad idea. I Doesn't want play favorites though the council wished me to concentrate of Sasuke."

"Assholes." Muttered Jiraiya.

Kakashi growled too as he thought of Sasuke.

"Not such an student as you hoped at the beginning?"

Kakashi sighed.

"He's a genius indeed. But the whole avenger-thing is going to be a pain in my neck. Otherwise the whole fangirl-thing annoy me too. But I hope I solved this problem."

FLASHBACK JUTSU

Same time, same place just a few days earlier and a few traininggrounds away a huge boulder melted away from the heat of a great fireball jutsu. The only thing the fireball left was an exhausted Uchiha.

"Well done Sasuke. Quite perfect. Take a rest now and lets call it a day."

The self-proclamated avenger just nodded and headed for his home. After one of the Kakashis students left another one apeared. Kakashi noticed her chakra a few minutes ago so he didn't just poofed away as usual.

"Do you need anything Sakura?"

"Yes.." she replied shy "I… I… just wonder… Are you willing to train me for the chounin exam." She asked weakly. (Oh I love to write stuttering, hope Hinata comes into the picture quickly)

"No."

"W… Why?"

"I don't think tha you're cut to be a ninja. So it's just wasted time." Stated the jounin bluntly.

"D… Don't cut to be a ninja? Why?" Sakura was shocked.

"You fight to impress your crush, you train to impress your crush. A Ninja fight to protect his village and is precious ones. Think about the reason you fight. Come to a proper conclusion and we'll meet the day after tomorrow after sunrise at this training ground."

"Yes Kakashi-sensei."

END OF FLASHBACK

„And what do you think about this Sakura-girl."

"She has some talent. Perfect chakra-control. Calm and intelligent. Just her attitude is the false."

Slowly Kakashi rosed up.

"Yo, Naruto. Come over here."

"Hey Kakashi-sensei. What's up."

"I would like to teach you a handy jutsu called static-punch."

Kakashi eye-smiled about Naruto cutting a caper.

Sorry guys. Took me some time to write it. The whole conversation was in my head whole time but I didn't have the time. You know, school, parents things like that.
