2 years later...
Natsume sighed as she walked down the streets of Konoha.Nobody was around.Iruka was on a mission.And Shikamaru and Chouji had been forced to train.Shikamaru and Chouji had been her friends for a whole two years which really suprised her.When she meet their parents she had been afraid of being yelled at.But she was shocked when they pulled her aside and told her,"We could never hate you.An inoccent child.We were there to see your father put a heavy burden on you.I'm sure you know.We are gratefull you do not hate us."From that day on she felt a bond made with Chouji and Choza Akimichi.As well as Shikamaru and Shikaku Nara.She didn't know why but everytime they hurt she was there to help.Everythime they were in trouble she was there to help.They often called her an angel.She smiled,'And I won't let them down!I'll be there for them!All of them!'She though with determination in her eyes.
Meanwhile...
A man wearing a green jumpsuit and sporting abnormally huge eyebrown and a bowl like hair cut was running around Konoha.He chanted to himself loudly,"IF I CANNOT DO 100 LAPS AROUND KONOHA IT IS 200 LAPS INSTEAD!IF I CANNOT DO 200 LAPS IT IS 300 PUSH UPS!IF I CANNOT..."And so he continued on his rant.A while later he finished his laps and was now jogging around aimlessly.That is until he saw a small blond girl.Her blue eyes filled with determination.He suddenly fell to his knees and started crying waterfalls,"I AM SO PROUD TO WITNESS THE FLAME OF YOUTH AWAKEN IN SOMEONE SO YOUNG!"He shouted on the top of his lungs.
Natsume jumped and looked around frantically.Everyone was walking calmly.With the usual glares directed her way.She didn't pay attention to them but still looked at the other villagers confused,'Is it normal for a grown man to cry openly like he just did?'She wondered.She would have to ask Iruka!For now she settled her gaze on the crying man.She walked over carefully wondering if the man was insane.When she was close enough she put a small hand on his shoulder,"Excuse me but,why are you crying?"She asked blinking her sapphire eyes.The man stopped his tears and looked at her.Then he started crying again,"THE FLAME OF YOUTH BURNS SO BRIGHTLY WITHIN YOU!"He shouted once again.Then he went on a rant about 'The Flame of Youth.'She didn't really listen.She tried to recognize him,'I think he was the one who Asuma-senpai was talking with.'
As Gai finished his speech about 'The Flame of Youth' he took in the girls appearence.Then it hit him like a brick,''YOU ARE THE ONE ASUMA HAD TOLD ME ABOUT!YOU ARE TO BE MY STUDENT!"He,once again,shouted.Natsume cringed,'Now I remember.Iruka-sensei had told me that I could train with Asuma-senpai.But I needed Taijutsu training so Asuma-senpai went to look for Gai-senpai.I fell asleep before I could meet him.'She thought.Gai then flashed her a thumbs-up with a huge grin which nearly blinded her.Gai then pulled himself up,"IT IS TIME TO BEGIN YOUR TRAINING!FOLLOW ME!"He shouted before running off.Natsume at first was hesitant.After thinking things through clearly she shrugged and ran after him.
As she started to catch up she noticed they were heading to a training field.There were practice dummies spread out everwhere and a forest area.There was a wide space,which she quessed,were for sparring.As she caught up Gai turned to her,"Now I would like you to tell me about yourself and why you wish to learn Taijutsu."He was serious this time so Nastume responded quickly,"Well my name is Umino Natsume.I'm 6 years old.I'm going to be 7 in three weeks.I like my friends and my family.I dislike others who put someone down and those who seek revenge.My hobby...training.My dream is to become Hokage!And the reason I want to learn Taijutsu...to protect the ones I care for!"Her eyes were now full of determination.
Gai admired the girls determination,'Even when she was shunned.Even when she was chased and called a demon.She still has the determination to become Hokage.To fulfill her dream.She is truly the daughter of the Fourth.'Gai nodded and turned to the wide area,"The first thing I need you to do is prove to me you are worthy.I will give you a number of tasks to fulfill and you will have to complete them all before time runs out.If you fail I will not teach you any Taijutsu.But if you are to pass you will have proved to me that you are ready.So do you accept?"Gai asked.Natsume bowed her head and though for a moment then she looked up with more determination and nodded.Gai smiled,"Your first task is to doo 100 push ups.Then 100 sit ups.Then run 100 laps around Konoha.After that kick that training post 100 times.Then punch it 100 times.You have three hours to complete all thses tasks.I shall return to you in three hours.Don't try to cheat.I will know."And with that said Gai left the girl to finish her tasks.
At the Hokage tower...
Gai sat in front of Sarutobi.They were both looking into an orb where it showed Natsume doing her tasks.She was already on 89 push ups which impressed Gai.Sarutobi then looked straight at Gai,"Your planning to pass her even if she dosen't finish?"Gai nodded,"Even now she is showing me that she really wants to learn Taijutsu.I won't stop her from learning.She has potential to be even stronger then me!"Sarutobi nodded and they both gazed at the orb.40 sit ups.And so they watched.They were impressed everytime she finished a task.Gai had to wonder,'Will she actually finish all the tasks before the three hours?'He was about to find out.Gai had secretly set a timer on a nearby stump so he would find out how long it would take her.He gazed back at the orb 90 punches.He then left.
At the training field...
Gai arived just as Natsume was on 98.He walked over to the timer and waited."1...1..100."He heard Natsume say.He quickly stopped the timer.Natsume then fell down.Gai ran over to her and noticed she was uncouncious."It's no surprise.Nobody can stay awake after that training."He picked her up and walked over to the stump.He crouched down and looked at the time.He smiles and got up turning he set off to Iruka's home...
"2 hours 5 minutes 3 seconds...not bad."
