A/N: This is mostly a filler chapter and a setup for the start of the wave arc... sorry

A perverse giggle could be heard coming from the Hokages office and anyone who knew him knew that this meant he was reading his little orange book which also meant he was not to be disturbed however this unspoken warning did not do anything to deter a certain blonde genin.

"Old man!" He shouted as he kicked open the door to the office to see his Jiji putting something in his desk draw with a blush on his face.

Letting out a sigh of relief that Naruto didn't come into the office a few minutes earlier he straightened up and looked at his adoptive grandson.

"What can I do for you today Naruto-Kun? And would you mind not kicking my door open from now on?"

"Sure old man, anyhow I came to complain. Kakashi-sensei is an utter idiot when it comes to teaching; I don't care what his reputation says. So far it's been 2 months since our team formed and not once has he taught us anything, now this isn't an issue for me because my knowledge etc makes me able to go against jonin and win but for the emo and banshee it will be their down fall when we go on proper missions. Now I came to tell you about this but I want to know if you know any Genjutsu specialists to help me in my weaker field."

"What has Kakashi taught you or your team?"

"Me and Sakura have learned nothing of value, he preaches teamwork like it was gospel but the emo king I'm sure he has been private tutoring which is to be expected."

"I will have words with him about teaching all of you and as for the Genjutsu specialist I know of only one that will be willing to help; you saved her life after all." He said with a smirk.

"Tenshi-Chan? Oh and as for talking to Kakashi it doesn't bother me too much because he hasn't even noticed that since the second week I have been using a shadow clone to meet and train with the team so I can do what I want."

"Sneaky blondes are sneaky."

"Got that right anyway, I'm going to find a certain Angel, see you later Jiji." And with that he disappeared in his unique Shunshin only to reappear a couple of blocks away.

'Now where would she be? Ah I know she has a team like my baka sensei so she will be training them.'

He started running towards the training ground that her and her team were training at and hid in a tree watching them for about 10 minutes only for Kurenai to finally spot him and call him over. "Naruto, you can come out now."

Appearing in a yellow flash in front of her and her team he mock saluted and said "Yo" in a very Kakashi like manner.

Kurenai just blinked a couple of times and looked at him, "What were you watching us for?"

Naruto just sighed at being caught. "Truth be told Tenshi-Chan, I was waiting for the right moment to make an awesome entrance and then ask a favour of you."

"Awesome entrance? Couldn't you have just walked over here and asked me instead?"

"Maybe but where is the fun it that besides you love it."

Whilst the conversation was going on the genin team just looked on with different reactions, Hinata was blushing at her crush but was slightly annoyed at her sensei being called an Angel by him. Kiba just snorted and ignored him because he thought of himself as Alpha and Shino just raised an eyebrow.

"Fine if you say so now what is the favour you wanted since it was so important to interrupt our training?"

"Straight to the point as normal? Couldn't we just talk for a while you know get to know each other, I'm sure that I would enjoy your company Tenshi-Chan." At this point she blushed slightly at what he was implying and muttered something about 'Ero-blondes' and 'Smart asses'.

"Fine if you must know I was coming here to ask you to help me with my Genjutsu because my freakish Chakra and stamina I can't use Genjutsu but I would like to learn how to dispel them more effectively and before you ask what you would get out of this, it's quite simple. I would train you in your elemental affinity because being a Genjutsu specialist is good but if you come across an enemy that is immune then you're screwed."

She thought about it for a minute and then asked "Why me? Didn't Kakashi teach you?"

"Hmm maybe some of his bad habbits but that's about it. But you and the rest of the Jonin know that I am a Jutsu gold mine not to mention creating new jutsu every now and then."

"It's been two goddamn months and he taught you nothing? I'm going to kill him and I will teach you."

"Thanks Tenshi-Chan and as an extra I will also start your team on their elements; now I'm guessing since their all clan heirs that they aren't allowed to use non clan jutsu right? And you've been told not to teach them any? Well they said nothing about me did they?" He smirked at her.

"Goddamn you're too troublesome sometimes Naruto." Somewhere two lazy Nara's sneased.

"Oh don't be like that now Tenshi-chan." Naruto pulled out 4 pieces of paper and gave them to each and told them to channel chakra into them. He wasn't surprised to find that Kiba and Kurenai both had fire whilst Hinata had water and shino had Lightning.

"Hmm not a bad spread for a team, Tenshi, how much chakra do they have?"

"High genin, close to low chunin why?"

"Just thinking about how to do their training. Shino, you're to get a light bulb and charge it with lightning chakra which will turn it on and when you can do this for 5 minutes then you can add another 5 minutes to the time and continue doing this until you reach 1 hour; this will improve your chakra control on both normal and elemental chakra and shall also increase your capacity." He nodded and left to get a light bulb.

"Hinata, I presume you know how to water walk?" Earning a nod from her "Ok then, go sit on top of a lake and meditate; feel the water flow around you and create whirl pools, I want you to create around 15 before you try any water Jutsu." She nodded and walked off to a lake.

"Now you two, grab a leaf and focus chakra into it; imagine fire burning inside your mind whilst doing this and when you burn the leaf and can do it in under a second I will teach you jutsu."

Getting a smile from Kurenai and a nod from Kiba they both started whilst Naruto just smiled at the sight of his Angel working hard and started to meditate. This went on for about another month, they would meet and train with each other and then get lunch but when Kurenai asked why he hadn't been training with Kakashi he said that he sent a Shadow clone to him for training and he didn't care enough to notice.

A few days after the conversation about Kakashi teaching him and his shadow clone he was walking into the Hokage tower with his so called team for a mission.

"All right, you have a choice of a couple of D ranked missions."

"NO!"

"What?"

"Jiji, I said no. You know damn well I can take on most Jonin and win and Kakashi is an elite Jonin not to mention all the time he spent training the emo over there he should be able to handle a simple C rank mission, if anything we will have to look after the Banshee but it will do her good to get some out of the village experience so maybe she will stop being such a goddamn annoying fan girl."

Sasuke smirked at this and agreed whilst Sakura was visibly annoyed whilst Kakashi looked impassive at this which annoyed Naruto, "Kakashi by the way did I forget to mention that if you don't teach Sakura something soon I will burn every Icha Icha within Konoha? Surely it can only make me more popular with the women if you know what I mean." Kakashi paled at this and nodded.

"Naruto, you have a point so I will give you a simple C rank escort mission but I will send another team along with you because they also need the experience. You know this team anyway from what I heard." With that said in walked Kurenai and her team.

"Why hello Tenshi-Chan, pleasure to see you again."

"Hello Naruto, you're looking well today." She said with a wink and the rest were thinking the same thing: 'Lucky bastard'.

"Not to interrupt you two love birds but the client is about to come here."

"Sorry Jiji, can't help when a pretty lady falls for my charms; I'm just too awesome you see." Kurenai blushed and a knock was heard at the door.

"Enter" and in came a 40 year old drunk named Tazuna.

"Team 7 and 8 your job is to escort Tazuna here to the land of waves and protect him whilst his bridge gets built."

"Team pack for a month and meet me at the gates in 2 hours."

Naruto mock saluted and said "Sir, yes sir." And disappeared in a yellow flash.
