Naruto sat across the room from his supposed teammates, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha. He had spent ten minutes after his team had been announced cursing the old Hokage for putting him on this team, which had been over two hours ago. They were all that remained of the graduates as the other teams had already been picked up by their sensei. The other two were content to ignore him and for that he was grateful, instead he spent his time thinking over what had happened to him four days ago.

Flashback:

The sun was directly overtop Naruto as he lifted his hand from a scroll before rolling it back up and tossed to a nearby shadow that caught it in its mouth and disappeared in a puff of smoke. "So all I do is put some blood on my hand, use the seals you told me to, and then place my hand against the ground or something else?"

Anko smiled at the blonde. "That's right, and depending on how much chakra you put into it the larger they'll be, but you should be careful, most of the larger ones can shallow you whole."

"I'll keep that in mind. Now let's give it a try shall we?" Biting down on his thumb hard enough to draw blood, he pushed a lot of chakra into a set of five seals before slamming his hand on the ground. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu." Symbols appeared around his hand in a circle with eight lines coming out of it, and then the area they were in was shrouded in smoke. From it came, much to Anko's shock and horror, a large purple head with four spikes, pale blue iris with slit pupils with black sclera. The snake's body was massive with black bands every five yards or so. Standing atop the massive head was a grinning Naruto.

A forked tongue flicked out of its mouth before sliding back in. "Why have you summoned me Anko, there is no danger here. And you know the price for summoning me and what's more for doing so without reason."

Anko trembled at the sight of the snake, which grew worse as it spoke. Naruto could see this even from so high up and intervened. "Anko is not to blame Hebi-san, I was the one to summon you. I'm sorry if I have upset you for doing so, but this was my first attempt and I was unaware of how much chakra I would need to summon one as large as yourself."

Again the tongue flickered out and back in. "You expect me to believe you summoned me, the Hebi Boss Manda, on your first attempt?" There was a hissing noise Naruto expected to be laughter coming from the snake below his feet. "Not even Orochimaru could accomplish that, but I'll humor you child, tell me why I should believe you."

"No matter what I tell you Manda-sama, you will still believe what you want to. That is one thing I have learned from living in this village, no matter how hard you try to convince people, unless you show them undeniable proof, and sometimes even then, they will continue to believe what they want to. But since we're humoring one another, I'm not sure if you can sense my chakra, but there's enough left to summon you another four times and have some to spare. Not to mention if you look at your summoning scroll, you'll find my name, Naruto Uzumaki, newly added, I doubt the blood's even dry yet."

Naruto had to use chakra to hold on as the entire head started to shake while the laughing hiss escaped the snake's mouth. "You are an amusing child, and you are wise for your age. There is however, a test you must take to summon my kind, how well you do will determine the level of hebi summon you will be allowed to use. Summoning one higher than you are allowed will result in either your death, or human sacrifices. Do you understand?"

Without hesitation, the blonde answered. "I do."

"Very well. The test is fairly simple in principle, you must hide yourself from my senses. The longer you can remain hidden the higher-ranking hebi you can summon. To both ensure her safety, as well as to make sure she isn't helping you, Anko will be allowed to sit atop my head for the duration of the test. You shall receive a few minutes to hide yourself." Naruto didn't say a word, but in a puff of smoke he and Anko had switched places and he disappeared from the area without a trace. "How would you rate his hiding ability Anko?"

"Truthfully, I would not know. He doesn't seem the type to hide from his problems but I haven't know him very long either."

"Then why allow him to sign the contract?"

"He saved my life, by risking his own and then risked his career as a shinobi to make sure I was alright in the same night."

"Well then, if he is good enough to defeat someone you could not, I shall see great things from him."

"I'm honored you think so highly of me Manda-sama."

"Orochimaru trained you well, and as I have told him, he was a fool to throw you aside. If not for the fact he is our clan's strongest summoner, I would terminate his contract."

Flashback End:

Utilizing his natural ability to hide his chakra, he was able to remain suspended off the ground to avoid making vibrations, and used his wind element to both lower his body temperature as well as keep his scent from reaching Manda. It was almost sunset when the giant snake finally found him due to a massive headache from the dispersal of the large number of Kage Bunshin he used to try and fool the Hebi Boss with, from the lack of chakra needed to sustain them. Needless to say that after nearly six hours, Manda was impressed by his skills, enough so that he allowed the blonde to summon him without cost, an honor not even Orochimaru obtained. Though unlike the Hebi Sannin, Naruto wasn't able to get the summoning tattoo due to Kyuubi's yokai. 'Not that I care, with the seals on my arm I'm probably able to summon just as fast as that bastard.' He looked to the door as he felt a chakra source appear behind it. "Must be our sensei, it's about damn time too, I don't know how much more of these two I can take in a single sitting."

He felt two glares focused on him. 'I said that out loud didn't it?'

'Yep.'

Naruto shrugged. 'Oh well, their glares are nothing compared to mine, and not even worthy to be compared to yours.'

'Oh kit stop, you're making me blushing.'

He smiled as she replied in a monotone, but had barely hidden amusement behind it. The door opened to reveal a man wearing jonin attire with a mask over the lower half of his face, his hitai-ate pulled down over his left eye, gray gravity-defying spikes of hair, and a lazy look in his uncovered eye. "My first impression of you is, you're boring. I was told I had the prankster from hell on my team and not even so much as an eraser wedged in the crack of the door, and here I gave you two hours to come up with something good." The man sighed. "Well, meet me up on the roof."

The man disappeared in a puff of smoke, that the others believed to be Shunshin. Naruto was smirking at what the man had actually done. 'Damn, why didn't I think of that?' Following the others out of the room and up the stairwell, they found the same man leaning against the railing with a small orange book in his hands with a man chasing a woman on the front with hearts between the two on the cover and a 'not allowed' symbol on the back. "You really shouldn't read that book in the open like that sensei, kunoichi seem to be the strongest when they're pissed off, and nothing seems to do that nearly as well as those books."

The man shifted his eye to him. "Hm, did you say something?"

He had expected the blonde to get riled like a certain green spandex wearing jonin would, but the boy kept smiling. "Nothing important, not anymore at least." The jonin was confused by that last statement and turned back to his book only to find it missing and in its place a note. 'Sending a Kage Bunshin to get us two hours late isn't a smart idea, especially when you could have sent one on time and still done whatever you were doing. So in repentance, I've taken your book. Sincerely yours, Prankster from Hell. Have a nice day! P.S. the other one's gone too.'

Kakashi checked to see if it was true and glared at the blonde when he found it was. "Impressive, now give them back."

The blonde had a fox-like smile on his face while Sakura looked between the two with confusion. "What are you talking about sensei, the three of us just got here, what could this baka have done in that short of time?"

The look in the jonin's eye reverted to what it had been, but not before sending a look at the blonde that said he would get Naruto back for this. "Now that we're all here, let get to know each other, tell me your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future, and stuff like that. Who would like to go first?"

Sakura still looked confused. "Um, sensei, would you go first so we know what we're supposed to do?"

He looked up towards the sky for a moment. "I suppose I can. My name is Kakashi Hatake, my likes and dislikes are none of your concern, my dream is… I have lots of hobbies." Naruto's smile dimmed while the others both thought. 'All we learned was his name.' Unlike them, Naruto had an eye for the little things, and learned some things from his body language. Like when he said likes, he glared lightly at Naruto, at dislikes his glare went to the emotionless Uchiha, during the pause after his dream, an overwhelming feeling of sadness and regret appeared in his eye, and disappeared again when he mentioned his hobbies. "So how about you pinky?"

Sakura glared at being called that, but started anyway. "My name is Sakura Haruno, my likes…" She looked at Sasuke and squealed. "My dislikes are Ino-pig and Naruto-baka!"

Naruto rolled his eyes. "Love you too Hime."

The pinkette ignored his comment and continued. "My hobbies are reading and…" Again she looks at Sasuke and squeals. "My dream for the future…" For a third time she looks at Sasuke, this time with a dark blush and gives off several squeals and giggles.

Both Naruto and Kakashi were rubbing their ears for a half a minute afterwards Kakashi think. 'A fangirl, just what I needed.' He sighs. "Alright, Blondie, your turn."

"Naruto Uzumaki. My likes are foxes, snakes to an extent, ramen, and the small group of people close to me, which as of yet none of you are apart of. My dislikes are traitors, perverts that peek at hot springs and the like, closet perverts and those that only read the Icha Icha series are okay for the most part, and there's one person in particular that could possibly be on this list, though until I know for certain I'll reserve judgment. My hobbies are training, gardening…" He got funny looks from the other three on the roof. "What, it's relaxing. Anyway, my hobbies also include writing. As for my dreams for the future, I don't really have any. I live for today because only Kami-sama knows what's beyond that, but if I had to say something, I guess it be that I'd like to have a family someday."

Kakashi smiled sadly under his mask. 'He may not have turned out the way Minato-sensei wished for, but it's better than most would expect. Though I wonder if he was talking about sensei during his dislikes.' "And last Mr. Dark and Gloomy."

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I don't particularly like anything, I dislike a lot of things, and I have no hobbies. My dream, no, my ambition is to kill a certain man and restore my clan."

Naruto rolled his eyes. 'Good luck with that, the bastard was an Anbu and will only have gotten stronger since.' "It's kind of hard to restore a clan when you're as straight as a circle."

Again he felt the glares of his peers, and saw amusement in Kakashi's eye. "Sasuke-kun is not gay!"

"He would have to be to not pay attention to all the ass you fangirls put in front of him on a sliver platter. Any straight guy would be taking advantage of that kind of situation. Well except for me, you'll all a bunch of weak banshees to me."

"I'll show you weak!" She nailed Naruto in the temple with her right fist, but he went up in smoke and a note floated to the ground where he had been. 'Next time Pinky, consult the Brain before you act, it may save your life.'

She crumpled up the note as Kakashi brought the attention back to himself. "Meet tomorrow at seven o'clock at training ground seven and bring your gear, this will be your final test to see if you become genin or not."

Sakura mouth hung open. "But we're already genin."

Naruto hopped down from a nearby tree. "Apparently not, the test a week ago was probably to just weed out those not even close to capable of becoming genin, like this one will get rid of those who aren't ready yet."

Sasuke smirked. "That would be you dope."

Kakashi smiled under his mask. 'If only you knew Sasuke, what with taking down the Juin Jutsu empowered Mizuki on top of how well he did during the genin test, Anko, Asuma, and Kurenai were all practically begging Hokage-sama to take him on as their apprentice, and should this team not pass one of them may just get their wish, after all he has already completed an A-rank mission, more than enough proof he has what it takes, not to mention his actions afterwards that proves it to me.' His face became dead serious. "Naruto is correct on both accounts, however this test has a sixty-six point six percent fail rate, as only nine to the graduates will become actual genin." His eye turned into an upside-down U showing them he was smile. "So, I'll see you tomorrow. A bit of advice though, don't eat breakfast, you'll just throw it back up. Bye." This time he really did use Shunshin, and the three genin left the roof, but not before Sakura asked Sasuke out one more time, to both boys annoyance.

-------------------------

The next morning, Naruto found the two other genin standing about the training ground at eight thirty looking frustrated. When Sakura saw him, she started screeching. "You're late dope, what if sensei had come when you weren't here, Sasuke-kun and I may have gotten in trouble because of you!"

"Calm down, I have a perfectly reasonable excuse for being late." Sakura gave him a questionable look. "I was having breakfast."

"You baka, sensei told us not to eat breakfast!"

"No, he recommended we don't eat. Besides that if you were truly as smart as you say you are, you would know that you should eat a low protein meal before a strenuous workout so you have the have energy you need. And if you think about it logically, he was two hours late yesterday, what makes you think he'll be on time today?" Naruto left her standing there with her mouth hanging open and moved towards the small creek nearby, but stopped and addressed the person following him without looking back at them. "What do you want Uchiha?"

"Fight me."

"No."

Sasuke smirked. "Are you afraid I'll kick your ass like I did a month ago?"

"As I recall, you could barely lay a hand on me, and the only reason you won was because I took the hit so you didn't kill over half the class."

"Then fight me."

"No, I see no point in wasting my energy on someone like you." Three seals on Naruto's arms glowed in the series of Tori, Nezumi, Saru, Tori, as he walked away from the fuming Uchiha, just incase.

And it was a good thing he did, for as soon as he started walking again, the dark haired boy started forming hand signs. Bringing his hand to his mouth, he launched out a large fireball. "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!" (I know I used it before but at this point it's the strongest jutsu he knows)

As the ball grew closer, Naruto turned so his right side was towards the ball and held his hand at full length with his palm out in front. "Futon: Hirate no Shinkuu Fuchi." (Wind Release: Vacuum Abyss of the Palm) A hole that covered most of his palm formed in the center of it and created a massive wind that pulled the fireball to the blonde faster. As it neared his hand, the ball of flames was turned into a stream of fire and it entered the hole in his hand. (It's Miroku's Wind Tunnel except for a few minor details, which I don't own either.) Once the last of the fire had been pulled in, the hole grew gradually smaller till it vanished leaving no sign if its or the fireball's existence. "Get your head out of your ass so you can hear properly Uchiha, I'm not going to fight you!"

Despite what he had just seen, the Uchiha launched off several smaller fireballs. "Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu!" (Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique)

Jumping back, Naruto landed on top of the water, much to the other two genin's surprise and channeled chakra into the seals Ryuu, Oushi, Ohitsuji, and then Ryuu again. "Suiton: Tsunami Kabe." (Water Release: Tidal Wave Wall) Slamming his foot down on the surface of the water, a wall formed in front of him stopping the fireballs from reaching him and when he dropped the wall it crashed against the shore like a tide wave. By the time the wall had sank low enough for the two boys to see each other, Naruto's eyes had taken on a icy blue glow as he glared at the Uchiha. In the wake of his jutsu, the blonde was able to sense another chakra source nearby aside from Sakura's. 'I swear if that's sensei, I'm going to rip him a new one for letting this go as far as it has.' Putting his full focus back on the Uchiha, he slowly raised his right hand towards the sky with his index and middle fingers extended as he spoke. "You should be careful what you ask for Uchiha…" Chakra was channeled through the Inu, Uma, Usagi, and then Inu again. "You just might get it! Raiton: Hiraishin." (Lightning Release: Lightning Rod. (A/N: This is what the Online translator I've been using said Hiraishin came out to, so please don't send me reviews saying that's not what it means.) A bolt of lightning came down from a nearly clear sky and struck the blonde's fingers, but instead of dissipating, the bolt remained connected to his fingertips and swung his arm as the other end fell towards the ground. "Reikou no Kei." (Whip of Lightning)

Sasuke was able to dodge Naruto's continuous swings, but as time went on, doing so by a smaller margin every time. Fortunately for the Uchiha, just as the whip was just about to connect, Kakashi appeared and grabbed hold of it with his gloved hand. "Alright Naruto, that's enough."

Withdrawing his chakra, the lightning fizzled out and Naruto started walking towards them. "And you shouldn't have let it escalate that far sensei, I know you were watching and could have stepped in at anytime."

"You're right, I should have stopped it, but I was curious how you would handle it. Your last jutsu was quite interesting, though I believe I've heard the name before."

Naruto shrugged as he walked by. "Mine's more appropriately named than his considering it's an actual Raiton instead of a Ninpo."

Naruto started over towards the training posts where Sakura was standing with Sasuke and Kakashi following behind him, the former sending a glare that the blonde's back. Once there, the blonde leaned back against the far left post, ignoring the glares of his teammates and focusing on the silver hair jonin. "Alright, so here's the deal, I have two bells." He pulled them out to prove his point along with a timer. "You have until this timer goes off, which will be at noon, to get one of these bells from me, if you don't you'll be tied to one of those post and have to watch as myself and anyone who did get a bell eat lunch." Naruto smirked when the other two's stomachs growled loudly. "In addition, anyone who doesn't get a bell will be sent back to the academy."

Naruto smirk was replaced by a contemplating look while Sakura stated the obvious. "But there are only two bells and three of us."

"Which means at least one of you will fail, which is why each of you has a sixty-six percent chance of failure, like I told you yesterday. I believe we should start for your benefit, since the longer we stay here the less time you have to get the bells. But before that, I want to tell you that you can use anything at your disposal, because if you want a bell you'll have to come at me with the intent to kill."

Sakura looked worried. "But sensei, we could really hurt you if we use kunai and shuriken." The three males looked at her. "What?"

Naruto was the one who answered. "Just wondering if it was good."

"If what was good?"

"The sex with Mizuki, how else do you explain you being the 'smartest' kunoichi of our class? We're genin, the chances of one of us actually hurting a jonin like him is like someone trying to lift the Hokage Tower with one hand, highly unlikely if not impossible."

Sasuke smirked due to Sakura being left speechless, while an eye smiling Kakashi turned to Naruto. 'Judging by how he said that, he may have figured out the purpose of the test, but whether these three will pass has yet to be seen.' "What make you so sure it wasn't Iruka?"

The blonde smiled. "If you met his girlfriend, you wouldn't be asking me that."

Kakashi shrugged and put the time on top of the middle post. "Well then, let's begin." In a blur of movement, Sakura and Sasuke disappeared, leave the blonde and Kakashi. The Cyclops eyed the forest before looking at Naruto. 'They seem to have hiding down, though because of their chakra it won't be hard to find them, then we have this one. I can't sense his chakra, but he didn't even try to hide.' "You're a strange one aren't you?"

Naruto smiled. "You have no idea sensei, but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about." He lowered his voice so only they could hear. "I know what you're trying to do, and because of who's on this team it will work. Despite how I personally feel about both of them, I'm at least willing to work with them, but neither will work with me, hell Sasuke won't working with anyone, believing everyone to be hindrances."

"So what will you do now?"

"Well, the way I see it, I have three options." Naruto held up a finger. "First, I just stay here till the timer goes off." Kakashi nodded as a second finger was added. "Second, I attempt to get them to work with me even though I know they won't." A third finger was added. "Or third, I attempt to get a bell on my own and hope that I show enough promise, or get a bell, to be able to remain a genin."

"So what are you going to do?"

Naruto shrugged as he pushed away from the post. "While the first one sounds appealing, knowing how this turns out, I haven't been able to test my limits in some time." Rolling his neck and getting several cracks he pushed a large amount of chakra into the Juuji seal. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." Everything within a five foot radius was shrouded completely in smoke. When it was gone, Kakashi found that both bells were still there and that he was surrounded by thirty blondes in three waves, five made up the first, then ten, and then fifteen. The second and third waves jumped back as the first rushed the jonin, each with a kunai in hand.

Reaching into his supply pouch, Kakashi draw a kunai of his own, and blocked one of the blonde's attacks while kicking at one coming from behind him, making it go up in smoke. Swinging the same leg forward, he destroyed the clone in front of him, which allowed him to stab another with the kunai he had used to block. Planting his foot, he hit another with a backhand to the temple, before the final one landed a right hook to his jaw, causing Kakashi to transform into Naruto before exploding into smoke. A shuriken cut through the smoke and implanted in the clone's head, as Kakashi gave an upper-cut to another before elbowing one that tried to sneak up on him.

Kakashi let three kunai fly and they while they destroyed two clones, a third dodged and implanted his fist in Kakashi's gut, only to be dispelled by a hard double fisted hit to the head. 'This is getting annoying.' His foot connected with the side of another clone's head, before being turned into a heel drop as a clone tried to get past his guard by coming low and behind the newly deceased. The remaining clones repositioned themselves, giving him a chance to catch his breath, but his eye narrowed as he found only twelve clones around him. 'There should be five more, but where…" His eyes widened slightly as he saw two, one on either side of him dispel themselves. 'It seems he knows the trick to shadow clones, he's using them to learn how I fight, which means he's probably not even among the ones here." Bringing his hands together, he ran through a series of seals too fast for any of the genin to follow and jumped up into the air. "Futon: Reppusho." (Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm)

Throwing his hand towards the ground, a extremely strong gust of wind slammed into the clones destroying them all and forming a slight dip around where they stood, but not before a single clone dispel itself. Naruto sat on a thick tree branch, his back against the trunk, one leg hanging off the side, the other bent so that his foot was flat against the branch, his right arm laid across his stomach, and his left hanging by his side. 'I should see if he'll teach me that after the test is over.' He heard twigs breaking as well as leaves russling below him and looked to find Sakura moving through the underbrush. 'Her chakra reserves must be really small, I can barely sense it.' He stood up as one of the two other sources came closer to them. 'Must be Kakashi, Sasuke would have gone straight for him.'

He wasn't disappointed as seconds later, the silver haired jonin came out of the trees behind Sakura forimg seals and then tapped her on the shoulder. He didn't know what he had done, but geussed it was genjutsu as she soon started screaming and fainted. Shortly after she fell, Kakashi leapt away from her and Naruto had considered following him, but when he looked over at Sakura prone body, he knew he'd feel guilty if he left her there, so he went and picked her up before leaping after the jonin.

When he reached the area where Kakashi and Sasuke were fighting, he arrived in time to see Kakashi use Kawarimi to escape, surprise, surprise, a giant fireball. Sasuke looked around frantically muttering. "Where is he, behind, above?"

Naruto saw two hands slowly emerge from the ground at Sasuke's feet, which grabbed his ankles as he heard Kakashi's voice. "Below." Sasuke was quickly pulled down to the point that only his head remained above ground. "You're not as different from your teammates as you think." Kakashi leapt away and back towards the posts. When Naruto felt his chakra get far enough away, he walked out to where Sasuke was and laid the still unconscious Sakura down.

Being glared at the whole time, Naruto approached the boy, who opened his moth to speak, but Naruto pulled down the boy's hitai-ate and turned it around so the knot was in the boy's mouth. Hearing movement behind him, Naruto turned and found Sakura waking up. "Good you're up, now I won't have to repeat myself." Sakura finally noticed Sasuke and was about to scream again, but stayed silent due to the icy glare directed at her from the blonde. "Now since I have your attention, I thought you'd like to know that in order to pass this test we have to work as a team."

Sakura seemed to have pushed aside the glare, for she glared back at the blonde. "Like Sasuke-kun would need your help dope."

"Sakura, why would we be separated into teams of three and then be given a test that would automatically fail at least one? The whole point of this test is to see if we can work together, the bells don't even matter."

"If the bells don't matter than why have them, huh?"

Naruto slapped his hand against his face. "They're meant to make us turn on each other, trying to make it so we won't work together."

"Yeah right, you just want to make Sasuke-kun weaken sensei so you can get a bell."

Naruto's icy blue eyes bore into her own dark green ones. "You don't want my help, fine. I'll see you both at the Academy next year." Naruto turned and walked the way Kakashi had gone, leaving Sakura to dig Sasuke out. When he walked into the clearing where Kakashi stood, the jonin got into a fighting stance, but Naruto walked right past him. "I tried." He hopped on top on of a training post as the timer went off. Kakashi sighed as he went over to join Naruto while they waited for the other two to show up.

When they finally did, Kakashi pulled out a rope. "Seeing as how no one got a bell, you should all be tied up, but I only have enough rope for one, so since Sakura didn't even try to get a bell she'll be the one tied to the post." Sakura looked devastated as Kakashi approached with the rope, but the sound of jingling stopped him. He looked over at Naruto, who was holding two familiar bells by their stings in his right hand. He looked at the bells tied to his belt as found a cloud of smoke, from which two Narutos emerged. "But when?"

"In the smoke screen made by my clones, I henged two clones into the bells and used Kawarimi to switch them before it cleared." He tossed the bells to the other two as the clones dispelled, both of who looked surprised by this. "Is it enough or do we still fail sensei?"

"Seeing as none of you actually worked together…" Sakura paled slightly while Sasuke's face remained unemotional. "I should say you failed, but seeing as you not only managed to get both bells, but you willingly gave them up, and at least attempted to get them to work with you, it wouldn't be right to punish you for their mistakes." He turned and looked at Sasuke and Sakura. "I'm going to pass you all, but the only reason you two will become actual genin is because of Naruto." Sakura looked over at the blonde discretely while Sasuke glared at the jonin, which was returned before Kakashi's gaze went to the stone behind them. "On that stone is the names of heroes of our village, and the one thing they all have in common is that they are dead. They died protecting their home and their comrades. In the world of the ninja, those who violate rules and laws are called trash, but those who don't take care of their comrades are worse than trash." He turned back to his new charges. "Tomorrow at seven meet in at the small bridge at the edge of the training field, we'll train until noon and then go to the Hokage Tower for a mission. You're free to go." With that he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Sasuke left glowering with Sakura on his heels while Naruto smiled but stayed put. 'So sensei, you used to be Neko's commander before Kuma took over, interesting.' He jumped off the post and started walking towards the market area of the village. 'Time for training with Anko, never thought torture could be so much fun.'
