Here I'll hold a vote for pairings. First a few requirements: no yaoi(gay) pairings, and no Naruto/someone a lot older. Sorry Naruto/Tsunade fans, but that would be hell to write.

Okay, the count so far:

Naru/Saku: 15

Naru/Ino: 7

Naru/Saku/Ino: 23

Naru/Tenten: 2

Naru/Temari: 1

Tenshi, Rin, Naruto, Sakura and Ino had arrived at the shop most of the Konoha shinobi got their clothes from. Naruto was slightly uneasy about going into the shop, and Ino noticed.

"Naruto, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Last time I tried to get in here, they threw me out." Naruto replied.

"Don't worry, that won't happen now." Tenshi said and opened the door.

When they entered the shop, the shopkeeper first seemed cheery and welcoming. But then he saw Naruto and his whole temper changed.

"Get out." He said with venom dripping from his words, but before Naruto could turn to leave, Tenshi placed a firm hand on his shoulder. Smiling reassuringly at Naruto, he turned to the shopkeeper.

"I don't know what you think you are doing, but we are here to buy some clothes. It wouldn't be good for your business if you turned away customers." Tenshi said. His face was hidden from Naruto, Sakura and Ino, so they didn't see him turn his eyes blue. That scared the shopkeeper much more than Naruto did, so he just nodded and hurried out of the way. Tenshi then lead Naruto to the men's part of the shop, while Rin took Sakura and Ino.

"Hey, Tenshi. Any specific look we are going for?" Rin asked.

"Try to keep it dark. Fit for stealth, but also a bit of protection." Tenshi replied and Rin nodded.

"Okay Naruto, what is the best choice of clothing for a ninja?" Tenshi asked. Naruto thought for a bit before remembering something Iruka told him once.

"The clothes have to be dark in colour and not reflect light. They have to be strong and durable, but also so that the ninja can move easily and without sound." Naruto said, feeling proud of himself.

"Good. But it isn't too important, since you can use henge to make the clothes as they have to be, and when you get promoted to Chuunin and Jounin or ANBU, you get uniforms that fit all that. But now, let's get you an outfit then? Pick out something you like, and think fit all that you said. If I like it, then I'll approve. If not then you have to try again. Okay?" Tenshi said and Naruto looked at him before turning to the racks of clothes before him.

"This…is going to take a while." Naruto said and both Tenshi and Kyuubi, who had watched the whole thing, nodded.

"Okay girls. Now, we aren't here to buy the prettiest or sexiest outfit, but the best ninja outfit. Ninjas have to be silent, stealthy and fast. Try to find clothes that suit those purposes." Rin commanded.

Sakura and Ino were in heaven, going between the racks of clothes, picking out different outfits. It took about thirty minutes and three attempts from Rin to make the two of them actually focus on finding something that they could work in.

Naruto was done with picking out his outfit after twenty minutes. He chose a black version of his old ninja shoes, three baggy pants with lots of pockets for kunai, shuriken and other ninja utilities, one of them were black with red fire like lines running up and down, one was dark blue with yellow fire and the last was dark green with orange fire. He also choose a fishnet shirt with some armour plating, a black Chinese style jacket, with the Konoha leaf in darker blue on the chest and a golden Kyuubi on the back, its nine tails turning into the Uzumaki clan crest and Kyuubi himself looked like he was trying to bite Naruto's shoulder. Naruto also ordered two more jackets with the same style, only one in deep blue and one in red with a orange Kyuubi. The jackets had to be specially made and would be ready in two days the shopkeeper said. He was rather scared after Tenshi told him that if Naruto didn't get quality, then the shopkeeper would find himself in a world of pain.

"Good work Naruto. When we get you some weapons, you will be more than ready for missions." Tenshi praised. Naruto nodded eagerly and held out three muscle shirts in red, black and purple that he had found. The shirts had images of fire on them. Tenshi slightly shook his head and paid for the clothes. They then went to see how the girls were. They found them, but were commanded to wait outside until Rin came and said they had finished choosing.

They waited and waited and waited.

They waited for three hours.

Or rather, they would have, if Tenshi hadn't gotten the idea to leave a Kage bunshin there and go train a bit. Knowing Naruto's chakra control had increased greatly Tenshi wanted him to summon. Naruto nodded, bit his thumb, did the seals, put as much chakra as he could into the jutsu and was about to slam his fist on the ground when Kyuubi yelled: "STOP! With that much chakra you'll summon me!"

Naruto stumbled and cancelled the jutsu. He looked over at Tenshi, who stared in disbelief with eyes the size of dinner plates.

'How could he summon you so soon?' Tenshi asked Kyuubi, who shrugged.

"Well, to summon me should be easier for Naruto than it is to summon any other boss, since I am much closer to where Naruto is. Less chakra used to bring me out. Also I am his natural summon boss." Kyuubi said and Naruto looked slightly proud.

"Wow, I can summon Kyuubi! That is so cool." Naruto said, puffing his chest out.

"Naruto, that isn't just cool, it is unheard of. You can summon the strongest fox, not even a week after learning to summon. What the hell are you?" Tenshi asked, slightly scared of Naruto's extreme growth.

"Don't worry Wolf. Naruto isn't some all powerful Genin. If he summoned me, then he wouldn't be able to stand afterwards. He would be completely drained of chakra." Kyuubi said. Tenshi relaxed a little, but not much.

"Humph. Shut up fur ball." Naruto grumbled while crossing his arms. Tenshi smiled a little, relieved that Naruto wasn't over powerful like Uchiha Itachi had been.

"Naruto, can you promise me something?" Tenshi asked. Naruto looked at him, turning serious.

"Sure, what is it Tenshi-ossan?" Naruto asked.

"No mater what, never betray your friends and family. Okay? Not for power, respect, acknowledgement or anything." Tenshi said. He sounded almost tired, but serious anyway.

Naruto nodded. "Sure, I promise. I won't betray my friends or family. I won't go back on my words. It is my nindo." He said, determination shining in his eyes. Tenshi smiled and held out his hand. Naruto grasped it and they shook hands.

Then Tenshi turned and walked back to the shop, with Naruto trailing behind him.

"Anosa, anosa. Why did you want me to promise that?" Naruto asked. Tenshi sighed before looking at Naruto.

"Some years ago, there was someone who was about as old as you are now. He was very strong, very strong indeed. He could fight evenly with me. He was Sasuke's older brother and he was called a genius and prodigy, just like Sasuke. Itachi became a ANBU captain at age of thirteen." Tenshi said and Naruto's eyes widened in surprise.

"Wow, he must have been strong." Naruto said and Tenshi nodded.

"Yes, I think he has the record for being the youngest ANBU captain ever. But Uchiha Itachi wasn't happy just being strong. He wanted more and more power. I don't know the details since I was out on that mission of mine when it happened, but Itachi slaughtered the whole Uchiha clan and fled Konoha, becoming a missing nin. The only Uchiha he let live was Sasuke. I don't know why Itachi did that, but I know that he was too strong for his own good. That is why I was scared when Kyuubi said you could summon him. I was worried that you become another Itachi, since the village treats you like it does." Tenshi explained and Naruto stared down on the ground.

"You were worried that I would kill everyone?" Naruto asked and Tenshi smiled slightly.

"No. I was worried that if you became another Itachi, extremely strong and tried to kill the village, I would have to stop you. I don't like most of the village any more than you do, but I still have to protect it. But Naruto, you won't become like that will you?" Tenshi asked and Naruto grinned at him.

"Nope. I won't. I will never let you down, and I would never do anything to hurt Sakura-chan and Ino-chan. Besides, Rin-nee-san wouldn't make anymore of her food for me if I became like that." Naruto said confidently and Tenshi laughed at that.

Tenshi and Naruto arrived at the shop, seeing the clone still waiting. Dismissing it, Tenshi sat down to wait on a nearby bench while Naruto was bored and started walking up and down a nearby tree.

"By the way, what is a missing nin?" Naruto asked and Tenshi stared at him.

"What?" Naruto asked, looking around to see if something was wrong. Tenshi's voice snapped his attention back though.

"Naruto, exactly what were you doing in the academy?" Tenshi asked.

"Huh?" Naruto simply replied and Tenshi sighed.

"A missing nin is a ninja exiled from his or her village. Uchiha Itachi is a missing nin since he left Konoha. Missing nins are hunted by hunter nins, to keep secrets about the village secret. A ninja's body holds a lot of information about what the ninja has been doing, what training he has underwent, what medications has been used. Stuff like that. Hunter nins stop these secrets from being spread. You should have learned that at the academy though." Tenshi said and Naruto blinked a few times, before shrugging and continuing to walk up and down the tree.

After a long while of waiting, and watching Naruto trying to walk up the tree on his hands, Tenshi had enough. Standing up, he waved Naruto over and went into the shop. And ran out again, his face drained of all colour. Naruto looked at him questionably.

"I am never going to have a daughter. Not if I have to endure that. I would be ruined. No, I take that back. Sakura and Ino are going to ruin me." Tenshi mumbled. Naruto, now curious of what Tenshi meant, went into the shop as well. What he saw made his jaw drop to the floor.

Both Sakura and Ino had huge piles of clothes, each pile as huge as they were tall. Naruto wasn't sure, but he thought that each pile must have more clothes in it than Naruto had ever seen before, which was unnerving him.

"W…what…is…that?" Naruto stammered forth, pointing to the piles. Rin, who just now noticed Naruto, chuckled.

"That is Sakura and Ino's piles of clothes that they are going to chose from. They are still trying out too see which they should choose. By the way, where is Tenshi?" Rin asked.

"I think he is mourning the loss of his wallet." Naruto said, staring at the piles. Rin laughed loudly at that.

"Is that so? Then you can get him and tell him he won't be completely ruined. Sakura and Ino are only going to pick three different outfits at the most. I figured I put a upper limit at that." Rin said and chuckled some more. Naruto looked at her before going outside and half dragging Tenshi inside again. Tenshi couldn't keep his eyes from the pile and he wasn't exactly admiring it.

"How can two people possibly choose so much clothes." He said weakly, his left eye twitching slightly.

"They are only going to pick out three outfits, so don't worry." Rin said and Tenshi relaxed a bit, but still his eye twitched slightly.

Sakura and Ino were having the time of their lives. They were a bit disappointed about not being able to choose more than three outfits, but they were happy anyway. Trying on different shoes, sweatpants, skirts, pants, shirts, jackets and all kinds of clothing, they couldn't feel better. After practically going trough every rack the shop had, the two of them turned to their piles.

"Now, on to stage two." they said, grabbed some clothes of their pile and rushed to the changing rooms.

After a while, they heard someone come into the shop, gasp and exit the shop again.

Sakura and Ino didn't pay much attention and continued to try out clothes. When they had finished with the ones they had grabbed, they would exit the changing rooms, pick up new outfits to try and repeat the process.

"I am starting to regret this." Tenshi said as he looked at the clock. This reward had taken much longer than he had originally planned, but at least he had plenty of time to plan what to teach his students after this shopping adventure. Two and a half hours after Tenshi had seen the huge piles the girls had, they were finally done. Naruto was actually asleep, and Tenshi wasn't far from falling asleep himself. Rin didn't seem too bothered though, but even she seemed relieved when Sakura and Ino walked over with their chooses.

Sakura had picked out what looked very much like her original dress. Three pairs, all in different colours. One was a deep green, very much resembling her eyes with yellow circles. The second was black, obviously intended for sneaking, while the last one was sky blue, all three of them had no sleeves, high split up the thighs and black sweatpants under. Tenshi thought the colour of the last one looked slightly like Naruto's eye colour, but didn't say anything.

Ino had also chosen to stick with her old style, buying three two piece outfits in yellow, dark blue and white.

'All that time, and they didn't even choose some different style?' Tenshi thought in disbelief.

Naruto looked dazed at his two team mates, thinking about how good they would look in those clothes, then bating himself mentally for thinking that.

'It must be that stupid fox that turns my thoughts perverted.' Naruto thought to himself. Kyuubi of course heard and began ranting.

"Of course? What do you mean of course? You thought those things yourself. Don't blame me kit, that was all you. But I don't disagree though, those two do look good, regardless of clothing." The age old fox said. Naruto and Tenshi, who had been listening, could hardly believe what had just been said.

"Okay, now that all three of you have picked out what you want, I think we should get back to training. After I pay for this that is." Tenshi said sadly and pulled out his wallet. The shopkeeper looked both happy and frustrated. Happy that he would have some sales today, but frustrated that he now had a lot of clothes to put back in place.

After paying Tenshi sent the Genin and Rin home with their clothes, and told them to meet him at the Konoha gates. He also told them to bring food and sleeping bags, and their equipment.

Naruto, Sakura, Ino and Rin nodded and went in their respective directions, while Tenshi vanished to his favourite weapon shop. "Tenshu's weapons and equipment."

As he entered, he looked around and saw a girl who looked about a year older than his Genin team. She had her brown hair in two tight buns on her head, her brown eyes focused on sharpening a kunai, she wore a pink Chinese style shirt. Tenshi couldn't see her pants, since she was sitting behind the counter. Walking up to her, Tenshi smiled.

"Hello Tenten. How are you?" he asked. Tenten looked up and looked at him in a confused manner.

"Who are you, and how do you know me?" she asked. Tenshi wasn't surprised, and still smiled at her.

"My name is Tengoku Tenshi. I am a friend of your fathers." He said. Tenten thought for a while.

"Your name seems familiar, but I can't place you." she said thoughtfully.

"No wonder, I have been away for a long time on a mission. But I am here to buy some weapons for my students." Tenshi said. Tenten jumped off her stool and walked around the counter.

"What weapons are you going to buy then?" she asked eagerly. Tenshi thought for a bit.

"Three sets of kunai, shuriken and explosive tags. Four wakizashis (small swords) would be nice, and one slightly shortened katana. I think that would be it, for now at least." Tenshi said and Tenten nodded. She went and picked up the kunai, shuriken, tags and the wakizashis.

"The katana will take some time to shorten. How tall is the one who is going to use it?" Tenten asked, taking out a notebook to write down the measurements.

"I would say a little shorter than you. I think that if the katana was fitted for someone your size, it would suit him just fine." Tenshi said and Tenten nodded, silently wondering who it was that was going to use the sword.

"Also I want all three of the swords to be engraved. I want 'deep in the mountain a spiral spring field lies' on the blades." Tenshi said. Tenten looked at him curiously before writing it down on her note and taking the wakizashi blades.

"They will be finished in two days. Is that okay?" Tenten asked and Tenshi nodded happily.

"Yes, thank you." He replied and Tenten smiled before adding together the price.

'Oh great, even more money gone.' Tenshi groaned in his mind.

"Alright, we are going camping. While on this camping trip, I am going to start teach you jutsus. I am going to show you jutsus of different elements, and you can choose which you like the most." Tenshi said, and Sakura, Naruto and Ino nodded.

"Anosa, anosa which element is the best?" Naruto asked, practically tripping from one foot to another.

"That depends on the situation, but generally no one element is better than another. It all comes down to how you use the element." Tenshi explained.

"Tenshi is more profound with fire, and water, while I know mostly wind and earth jutsus." Rin said and Tenshi nodded.

"I know one lightning jutsu also, so I can at least show you." Tenshi said and the Genin nodded in excitement.

"But first, we have to find someplace to set up camp." Tenshi said, and headed into the forest surrounding Konoha.

Tenshi was standing on a slow moving river, Rin beside him, Naruto, Sakura and Ino in front of him.

"Now that you three have mastered tree walk, and almost mastered water walk, it is time for jutsu training. I'm going to teach you one jutsu of each element. Then you can choose which element to focus on. Oh also, in your backpacks you will find a little something from me and Rin. Don't look there until after practice is over though." Tenshi instructed and the three Genin nodded.

"Hey Tenshi-ossan. What are you going to show us first?" Naruto yelled. Sakura and Ino cringed a little from the loud sound.

"Okay, please try to tone down your voice. A ninja is supposed to be stealthy." Rin said a little annoyed and Naruto pouted a little.

"First I'll teach you a Katon jutsu. Here is how it is done." Tenshi said while turning to the side, formed some seals, ended with the tiger seal, drew in a deep breath, and blew out fire from his mouth. The fire formed into a huge fireball and flew towards a target Tenshi had sat up earlier. The target was severely scorched.

After a little, Tenshi stopped breathing fire and turned back to the now wide eyed Genin.

"That was the Katon. Goukakyuu no jutsu. Here are the seals." Tenshi said and did the seals slowly. Naruto, Sakura and Ino copied him as good as they can, and after a couple of tries, they had the seals down.

"Good, you have the seals. Okay, when you do the seals, bring your chakra to your lungs and breathe out. If you did everything right, the jutsu shouldn't be too much trouble." Tenshi said. the Genin nodded and turned to their own targets. Forming the seals, drawing the breath and shooting out small blasts of fire.

Sakura and Ino stopped soon, feeling a burning sensation in their throats. Sakura didn't feel it too much, but Ino felt it much harder, almost like she had swallowed a lot of really hot sauce. Naruto also felt it, but kept blasting his target.

After Naruto stopped breathing fire, Tenshi nodded approvingly.

"Good, you got the fire at least. Sakura and Ino stopped a bit early, but I guess that was because it burned?" he asked and the two girls looked down at their feet before nodding. Naruto looked ready to gloat.

"Hah, afraid of a little burning?" he asked. That made Sakura and Ino look up at him, eyes burning with anger.

"We'll show you burning." They yelled, performed the seals and blasted Naruto with their jutsu, which they performed very well, almost flawlessly.

When the smoke blew away, Tenshi was seen standing in front of Naruto, his hands in the bird seal.

"Okay, I am not going to punish anyone this time, since Naruto was asking for it, but next time one of you attacks someone else on this team without approval first, or as part of training, I am going to be very angry." Tenshi growled and the girls shuddered a bit.

"On the other hand, Sakura and Ino did the jutsu very good. If you can do that again, without being mad or enraged, then I am willing to say you have learned the jutsu. Come on, give it another go, okay?" Tenshi said smilingly and the girls nodded before turning to their targets. Naruto followed their example and they performed the seals. Three Goukakyuu flew towards the targets, burning them to crisp.

Naruto, Sakura and Ino turned to look at Tenshi and Rin with expectant looks on their faces. Tenshi, seeing their expressions, smiled a huge smile and shook his head.

"I should stop being amazed at the speed you three are learning at. Very good, you have learned a Katon jutsu." he said and Rin beamed at the Genin, who beamed back.

"So, what's next sensei?" Ino asked and cracking her knuckles, ready for anything.

"Ah, that reminds me. Naruto, Sakura. When we are on missions, or training with other people, don't call me anything else than sensei." Tenshi said. Both Sakura and Naruto looked puzzled at that.

"Why?" they asked, amazingly equally loudly.

"Because if you call me uncle or ossan, it shows that we have a personal relationship as well. We know about that, but a potential enemy might use that against us, like taking a hostage or something. That is why ANBU never call each other anything else but their code names, to minimize the risk." Tenshi said. Sakura and Naruto nodded slowly, looking thoughtfully.

"Okay sensei, so what are we going to do now?" Sakura asked, saying sensei playfully.

Tenshi responded by looking at Rin, who walked over to dry land, formed some seals and said: "Doton: Doryuuheki" and spat out some brown substance around her. A huge wall of earth rose in front of her, blocking her from the others.

"That jutsu is used to block an enemy's attacks, created distractions or obstacles. Very useful." Tenshi said and the wall crumbled with Rin looking smugly towards her public.

"Okay, walk over to Rin and have her show you the jutsu. Rin, call me when they have mastered the jutsu." Tenshi said and vanished in a mirage.

"Okay kids, here is the seals." Rin said, gaining the attention of the Genin.

Sakura showed much talent with the Doton jutsu, and quickly learned to do it. Naruto and Ino had a bit harder time; Sakura had to give several tips and hints to her team mates. Tenshi had been hunting for food, and was watching Ino make a half crumbling wall, while Naruto managed to encase himself in the jutsu. Tenshi sighed and started to skin and gut the wild boar he had caught.

After making a fire with a quick miniature Katon, Tenshi began roasting the boar. Half an hour later, Tenshi looked over and saw Ino standing on top of a wall of earth, grinning like a maniac. She looked tired as hell though.

'Hmm, doesn't look like Doton suits Ino. How about Naruto?' Tenshi thought and looked at Naruto, who lay on a wall of his own. He looked tired as well, and Tenshi chuckled at the sight.

'So, only Sakura shows that she has talent with Doton. All three showed good Katon control, although I noticed Ino was struggling with the fire. I think she was burned by it. Perhaps it's not smart to teach her more Katon. I wonder what she has talent in though.' Tenshi thought and headed over to Rin and a happy looking Sakura.

"So, they have learned the jutsu." Tenshi stated and Rin nodded.

"But I don't think Naruto and Ino has any use of any more Doton jutsus. They have to focus too much, and use twice the amount of chakra needed." Rin said and Tenshi nodded.

"So far I have seen that Naruto and Sakura has talent for Katon, Sakura has for Doton as well. I don't want to teach them more today, so tomorrow we will see which of the other elements suit Naruto and Ino best." Tenshi said.

"Hey, what about me?" Sakura asked.

"What about you?" Tenshi replied.

"Won't I get to see if I can learn the other elements?" Sakura asked and Tenshi nodded.

"Of course. I didn't mean anything else either." Tenshi said, before he vanished and reappeared with Naruto over his shoulder and Ino in his arms. Setting Ino down, he started walking over to the fire.

"Come on, the food is almost done." Tenshi called and Sakura, Ino and Rin hurried after him.

The five of them; Tenshi, Rin, Sakura, Naruto and Ino, sat around the fire and ate the boar Tenshi had caught. After the meal, Tenshi gained their attention by standing up. He looked them in their eyes and suddenly they saw themselves dying. Naruto, Sakura and Ino were frozen in fear. They couldn't move at all. Then it was all over. Tenshi smiled before crouching down in front of the Genin.

"That was the kanashibari no jutsu. I won't teach it to you yet, but I will teach you how to escape it. When you get caught in the jutsu, you either have to use all your willpower to move your body, face and beat down the fear, or inflict physical pain on yourself, like biting your lip. It isn't recommended to do all the time though." Tenshi explained.

"Why didn't you tell us before using that?" Naruto yelled.

"You would be ready. This time you weren't ready, and had no way of getting away. I wanted you to know how if felt. Now, I am going to do it again, and you three have to beat it." Tenshi said and used the jutsu. Naruto didn't have too much problem with handling it, since he had been trough so much anyway. Sakura and Ino had more trouble, but with their willpower they managed to escape three of four tries. Tenshi and Rin then decided it was enough mental torture and decided to comfort the slightly shivering Genin by sitting next to each other and letting the Genin lean against them; Naruto against Rin, Ino against Tenshi and Sakura in the middle. They sat like that for a while, until Tenshi said it was late. He then sent the Genin to bed.

As Sakura lay there, looking at the stars, she thought about the short time she had been studying under Tenshi.

'Only a few days, but already I am much stronger. I can't wait to show everyone how strong I am.' She thought and drifted off to sleep, not noticing that no thought of Sasuke had crossed her mind in a long time.

Ino was also thinking. 'Why did it hurt so much to do that Katon jutsu, and why couldn't I get the Doton right? Am I that bad? No, sensei said that my control was good, so that can't be it. I have to ask him tomorrow.' Ino thought before closing her eyes, and falling asleep.

Naruto didn't think of anything, instead he dropped asleep right away and dreamed of ramen, training and his two female team mates in their bathing suits. He suffered a severe nose bleed while sleeping.

Tenshi and Rin didn't say anything that night, laying in their sleeping bags in total silence.

When Tenshi woke the next morning, it wasn't because he wanted to, or because the sun was shining on him. It was because Rin, who had been sleeping next to him, had rolled over and rolled onto him. Thus Tenshi woke up and when he opened his eyes he saw what he thought was the cutest sight ever. Rin laying on his stomach, her head resting on his chest, snoring gently, her hand grasping his sleeping bag gently, her hair partly covering her face, a strand of hair ticking her nose when she breathed in. Tenshi looked at her, noting the natural redness of her lips, the adorable shape of her cheek. In short, Tenshi lay there admiring the sleeping woman. Then what he was doing sunk in, and he quickly closed his eyes.

'What the…? Why did I look at Rin that way?' Tenshi thought, and tried to chase away the image of Rin sleeping so peacefully.

Rin on the other hand, was happy and content. She felt warm, and had found a comfortable pillow, so she didn't move away, or let go, opting to snuggle closer up to the pillow.

Sakura woke up and looked over at Tenshi and Rin. And had to clamp a hand over her mouth to stop from giggling. They looked so cute, Rin lying on top of Tenshi.

"Aww." Sakura said silently. 'Maybe they'll hook up and start dating. That would be soo awesome.' She thought before trying to sleep again.

Sakura then remembered something Rin had told her once. Rin had been standing in their hallway, clutching a letter.

Flashback three years before Tenshi's return:

"Who's the letter from mom?" the younger Sakura asked. Rin turned, an angry expression on her face.

"It's from Tenshi." she just said.

"Oh, is uncle Tenshi coming back soon?" Sakura asked innocently.

"Tenshi isn't your uncle anymore." Rin said and walked away, leaving a very confused Sakura.

Scene change: about a year before Tenshi's return:

"Mom, do you remember when you got a letter from Tenshi?" Sakura asked and Rin nodded. They were sitting in their garden, looking at the flowers. Sakura looked at her mother and saw she was sad, eyes downcast.

"Why did you tell me that Tenshi's not my uncle anymore?" Sakura asked and Rin stiffened a bit before laughing.

"Oh, that. I was just mad at him. You see, we only call each other brother and sister. He isn't really related to us, but if you see him as your uncle, then you should call him that." Rin said and looked affectionately at her daughter, who nodded happily.

"Okay, so when is Uncle Tenshi coming home?" Sakura asked and Rin stiffened.

"I don't know." She said sounding depressed.

End Flashback:

'That means they can be together.' Sakura thought happily.

Naruto woke up and sat up while wiping dried blood from his nose. He looked around and saw Tenshi trying to sleep with Rin on his chest. Naruto rubbed his eyes a little at that. When he saw he wasn't hallucinating, he started to snicker.

"So, those two huh?" he said, mostly to himself but he woke up the sleeping fox in his belly, who looked trough his vessels eyes and saw the scene as well.

"Baka. Just because she is sleeping on top of him doesn't mean they are together. Don't jump to conclusions; it's not something a ninja should do." Kyuubi scolded. Naruto mumbled: "Blah blah blah." Before standing up and stretching.

"Hey sensei, how are you under there?" Naruto asked, and Tenshi's eyes flew open. Naruto was surprised to see confusion in Tenshi's eyes. Then it looked like Tenshi got an idea. He closed his eyes, focused and suddenly a kage bunshin pooped out next to him and Tenshi replaced himself with the clone. Rin didn't even feel the difference. Tenshi looked down at her and smiled before turning to Naruto, and gesturing for him to follow. They walked to the river and walked onto the surface. Naruto looked curiously at Tenshi, but he seemed to be in deep thought about something.

"Hey sensei, what's up with you and Rin-nee-san?" Naruto asked and Tenshi looked at him over his shoulder.

"I don't know. Is there something with us?" Tenshi replied, but before Naruto could retort, Tenshi turned to him and looked serious.

"We are going to work a little on taijutsu and how to approach an enemy in battle. What would you do to attack me now?" Tenshi asked and Naruto didn't even think before forming a few Kage bunshin and charging at Tenshi. Who blurred out of sight and suddenly the clones were destroyed.

"I didn't mean attack me, but you showed it rather well. So your tactic was to rush at me and overwhelm me?" Tenshi asked and Naruto slowly nodded.

"That would work on most Genin and some inexperienced Chuunin, but not on most Jounin. Try thinking of something different." Tenshi said and Naruto frowned in concentration.

'Something different?' Naruto thought and looked at Tenshi, who stood there, arms crossed and eyes closed.

'I got it.' Naruto thought, and formed some Kage bunshin again. Tenshi opened his eyes and looked impassive as the clones rushed at him. Just like the time before, Tenshi destroyed the clones effortlessly, but this time Naruto was gone. Tenshi looked around but couldn't spot his student.

'Now where did he go?' Tenshi thought, but suddenly he felt something behind him and quickly turned around and caught Naruto by the neck.

"Ah, very good. That would have worked if you were a bit faster or stealthier. That will come with time." Tenshi said and smiled at Naruto, who smiled back before bursting into smoke. Tenshi's eyes widened before he felt a kunai pressed against his neck.

"You were saying, sensei?" Naruto asked pride evident in his voice. Tenshi smiled and blurred away, reappearing a bit away from Naruto.

"Okay, I take that back. You could have killed me there. Good strategy. I totally fell for it." Tenshi said and smiled at his student, who had a huge grin on his face.

Sakura and Ino stood next to each other and looked down at Rin, who was still sleeping on a, by now, very annoyed kage bunshin. Tenshi and Naruto came walking over as well.

"So, she hasn't woken up yet." Tenshi said and Sakura shook her head.

"Well, it seems your chest is to soft sensei." Ino joked and Sakura and Naruto laughed a little at that. Tenshi huffed, crouched down and shook Rin awake. She slowly opened her eyes and looked first at her pillow, then the identical person to that pillow crouching next to her, then to the three amused Genin behind Tenshi.

"Um…" Rin said, not knowing what to say. Tenshi helped her though.

"Well it was nice to see I was comfortable, but I think you should get up and we can begin teaching the kids again." He said and Rin blushed a little before she pushed herself up and stood up. The clone vanished in a poof of smoke and Rin looked at Tenshi, who shrugged.

"When Naruto woke up, I made a kage bunshin and did a kawarimi with it, so that I could test Naruto on something." Tenshi explained. Rin didn't comment on that, she just looked thoughtful while eating breakfast.

"Okay, now Rin will show you a wind jutsu." Tenshi said and Rin stepped forward. She then did some hand seals, took a deep breath of air and shot out three transparent spheres of wind that hit the target she had aimed at and literally destroyed it.

"Futon: air bullet no jutsu." Rin said and turned back to the Genin, who had admiring looks in their eyes.

"Now it is your turn, here are the seals." Rin said and Naruto, Sakura and Ino started making the seals, but neither of them could see to get it right. They tried again, but neither Sakura nor Naruto could do anything with the jutsu, and Ino wasn't much better.

"Okay, that was a little weird. This jutsu is D-rank, so it shouldn't be any problem for them to at least get a puff of air." Rin said thoughtfully. Tenshi looked at her before sitting down next to the river they were practising next to, closing his eyes and beginning to meditate. He quickly entered his usual state where he could see just about everything around him for about twenty feet or so, and feel chakra much better. He focused more on chakra and saw how it flowed.

"Rin, can you do the attack again?" Tenshi asked and Rin nodded, formed the seals and shot out three air bullets again. Tenshi saw how the chakra moved and nodded.

"Okay, now kids. It's your turn." Tenshi said and they tried to perform the jutsu. Naruto, Sakura didn't even get out a small puff, while Ino seemed to be grasping it, although she did something wrong.

"Okay, Naruto and Sakura can stop. They don't have to try. I don't think they will get this jutsu even if they worked at it for a long time. Ino shows more talent with it though." Tenshi said and Ino looked proud, flashing a victory sign to Sakura.

"Ino, do the jutsu again please." Tenshi asked and she nodded and started doing the seals, while gathering the chakra.

"Wait, Ino. Hold the chakra, but try to mould it more into a tight sphere shape before you release it. There, you have it. Now try." Tenshi directed Ino, who spat out a small ball of wind, which didn't really do much, but at least it was an improvement. Tenshi exited his meditative state and got up.

"You three, listen up. There is something you should know about jutsus." Tenshi said and all three Genin instantly paid complete attention on him. Rin smiled at the sign of respect.

"A ninja can't learn jutsus of all types, or rather, most ninjas can't. If someone doesn't have any talent for a type of jutsu, then it is almost impossible to learn it. From what I have seen yet is that you all can learn fire and earth jutsus, although only Sakura can do earth jutsus well. Ino seems to be the only one who can learn wind jutsus." Tenshi explained and Ino's pride skyrocketed. Sensing this, Tenshi quickly brought her down to earth.

"But that does not mean she is a better ninja, since that would also mean Sakura is a better ninja since she is the only one of you three to do Doton effectively. All ninja have skills in something, so the fact that you can't learn something shouldn't make you sad. Just focus on what you can learn, okay?" Tenshi asked and the three Genin nodded, Ino looking slightly dejected.

"Now, I think Ino should practise the Futon jutsu later, since we have limited time and I want to see which type of jutsu you three should focus on. Next is water." Tenshi said, walked out on the river, formed seals and a wall of water suddenly rose up around him.

"Suiton: Sujinheki" Tenshi said as the wall fell down.

"It is a jutsu that can help stop attacks against the ninja. It is actually quite simple, you simply pump chakra into the water and pull it up, either completely around you like I did, or focus it in front of the attack you want to block. These are the seals." Tenshi explained and did the seals again, slowly. Naruto, Sakura and Ino performed the seals several times to memorize them and then stepped out on the water before doing the jutsu. Naruto and Sakura, produced a ripple on the surface, while Ino drew up a two inch tall wall of water. She looked really happy, while Naruto and Sakura were slightly short on breath and looked really frustrated.

"Why is it so hard to grasp the water?" Sakura asked.

"What do you mean? That was easy, almost like the refreshing technique, only with water. It was hard to pull the water up though." Ino replied, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Naruto and Sakura stare at her, before trying again. They didn't have any more luck that time either, while Ino, who also tried again, managed to double the size of her wall.

Tenshi and Rin were watching the kids try to master the jutsu.

"So, Ino has talent with wind and water, while Sakura has with fire and earth, and Naruto has with fire and…" Rin said and Tenshi thought for a bit.

"I think we should wait with the conclusion until I have showed them the Raiton jutsu, if my guess is right, then Naruto, with his huge chakra capacity, can become really good with lightning." Tenshi said and Rin looked at him.

"As far as I remember, that jutsu is B-rank. So far all the jutsus, with the exception of the Goukakyuu have been D. You think he can master it?" Rin asked.

"With enough time, yes. But I don't need them to master the jutsus now, only show us if they have any talent with them or not." Tenshi answered and walked towards the Genin.

"Okay, listen. I am going to have you three try one last jutsu. It is the only Raiton jutsu I know. It is a difficult one, but I should be able to see if you have talent for Raiton even if you don't get it. Okay?" Tenshi asked and began making the seals.

"Hey, Tenshi-sensei, how come it was so hard to get the water to rise." Naruto asked loudly, interrupting Tenshi in his seal making.

"Think Naruto. That means we don't have talent for Suiton." Sakura huffed and Naruto scratched his head.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot." Naruto said, grinning slightly.

"Alright, enough chitchat." Tenshi commanded and started making seals again. Then, when he finished he put his hands so that the fingers were facing each other with about an inch between his hands. Blue sparks started to form around his fingers.

"Raiton: shock fingers." Tenshi said and his fingers were completely covered in blue electricity. Tenshi then ran towards a tree, rammed his fingers into it. The effect was that the electricity spread throughout the tree, clearly visible.

"Successful contact with a human body with this will almost guarantee a kill, or at least a disable, depends on where you hit." Tenshi said and walked over to the Genin, who were gawking at the display. The tree would occasionally give of a blue spark.

"Here is the seals." Tenshi said and showed the seals slowly. It was a fairly long sequence, but after a bit of help and a lot of trying, all three of the Genin performed the seals and called the jutsu name. For Sakura and Ino, nothing happened what so ever, but for Naruto, a small blue glow surrounded his fingers. Tenshi looked at Naruto and told him to do it again.

Naruto did, and the blue glow was back. Naruto then ran towards a tree and rammed his fingers into it. Tenshi and Rin smiled when they saw the small blue glow go from Naruto's fingers to the tree.

"Ah, very good Naruto. You do have talent for Raiton. Now come here you three." Tenshi said and Naruto, Sakura and Ino gathered in front of him. He crouched down and smiled at them.

"Okay, based of what I have seen this past two days, I can now safely say what elements suit each of you the best. Naruto, you should focus on Katon and Raiton, since you managed to perform the Goukakyuu and at least a little bit of lightning came on your fingers when you did that. Sakura, you should focus on Katon and Doton, since like Naruto you did the Goukakyuu and you also performed the Doryuuheki. Ino, I want you to focus on Futon and Suiton, since you were the only one to have at least a little affect in those two. And yes, I know you also did the Goukakyuu, but it hurt you, and I don't think you should try it again, at least not until you have to or have gotten a little stronger." Tenshi said, silencing Ino's complaint about not focusing on Katon.

"I agree with Tenshi. I think that if you three did that, then your team would become very strong together." Rin said and the three Genin thought it over for a bit before each sprouting a huge grin.

"Okay." Were the simultaneous responses.

"Good, now I want you three to practise on your two jutsus for a while." Tenshi said. Immediately, Naruto and Sakura started blasting the river with their Goukakyuu, while Ino started on her air bullets. The rest of the day was spent with Tenshi and Rin correcting and helping the three Genin.

Then came Saturday, the first day of the joint training between team 7 and team 10. Tenshi, Sakura, Naruto and Ino had meet up earlier and increased the weights they wore. Now each weight was 30 pounds.

"Sensei, why do we have to train with Sasuke-bastard and his team?" Naruto whined while they were walking to the training area.

Tenshi smirked slightly and waited for the unavoidable bonk from either Sakura or Ino, but surprisingly none came. Tenshi turned and looked at his two female students. They didn't look like they were concerned about what Naruto said. Naruto, who also had been waiting to get hit and had his arms over his head with his eyes closed. When noting happened, he slowly opened one eye, and looked at his team mates.

"Huh?" Naruto just said, while Tenshi smiled and turned to continue walking.

'Interesting, perhaps when they don't see the Uchiha, their crush goes away bit by bit.' Tenshi thought, a bit happy that Sakura and Ino seemed to get over the brooding Uchiha.

Yo, Kin-Ryu Chikara here. This is the forth chapter and the last one with the vote. And the winner is: Naru/Saku/Ino. That's right; I have to write the threesome. Troublesome.

Also I have now decided on how to lower Tenshi's power. I won't tell anyone how, but it will probably happen in the next chapter. A bit soon maybe, but it's my story. So there.

Also, I have to apologise. I suck at grammar and for some reason are unable to see some of the spelling mistakes I make. Sorry.

Also, I have noticed something else. No one has said anything about pairings for Tenshi. I think that is a little strange, since a lot of people didn't want him killed. A couple of days ago, I got an idea from a friend that perhaps Tenshi and Rin should hook up. Before people freak out, they aren't siblings for real, and the next chapter will explain that a little closer. Is that pairing a good idea, or just plain weird? Give me your thoughts about that.

Read&Review please.

Ja ne!
