Authors note: a comment from me about the story.

-- paragraph/scene change

The story is now Naru/Saku/Ino and Tenshi/Rin. Hope everyone will enjoy reading the next chapter.

"Where is Kakashi-sensei?" Ino yelled. She, along with Tenshi, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Shikamaru and Chouji had been waiting for one and a half hours now. Tenshi and Naruto sat under the shade of a tree, meditating, while Shikamaru lay next to them, looking at the sky. Chouji sat next to Shikamaru, eating his chips. Ino and Sakura were standing next to the tree, while Sasuke was brooding a little distance away.

Tenshi sighed.

'I knew he would do this.' he thought grimly. Kyuubi, who heard, snickered a little.

"Sasuke, get over here." Tenshi called. Reluctantly Sasuke walked over. Tenshi got impatient.

"Get over here Uchiha. When your superior gives an order, you execute that order swiftly and efficiently. Now hurry up, or I'll decide to punish you." Tenshi commanded. Sasuke huffed and walked a little faster.

"Okay, next time you do what I say without grumbling. Now, Sasuke, spar with Sakura, Ino spar with Shikamaru and Chouji spar with Naruto." Tenshi commanded. Sasuke rolled his eyes annoyed, Sakura smiled happily, Ino yelled that she would beat the lazy boy, Shikamaru mumbled troublesome; Chouji continued eating while Naruto jumped up and yelled that he would show that he was best. Unknown to team 10, Naruto, Sakura and Ino had been ordered by Tenshi not to show their best moves or real strength.

"On my mark, begin." Tenshi said, still meditating under the tree.

Sakura stared at Sasuke, and wondered what happened to her feelings for the Uchiha.

'What's going on? I'm in love with Sasuke-kun, right? Then why don't I feel as warm inside when I look at him as usual. It feels…' Sakura didn't get a chance to think about it more, since Sasuke decided to attack. He charged her with a kunai drawn, and was surprised when she moved with impressive speed and dodged. He was even more surprised when Sakura, jumped, flipped in the air and tried to kick him in the head, using the spin to create additional force. Sasuke dodged, and kicked Sakura in the stomach. She flew a little but flipped, placed her hands on the ground and did a couple of hand springs. Sakura groaned, the additional weights were really making things difficult, she had to use all her chakra just to move at the speed she was. Sasuke wasn't giving her much of a break either, charging after her and trying to kick and punch her. Sakura was forced to dodge and block. She couldn't see an opening to counter attack. This was starting to frustrate her.

Ino was also staring at Sasuke, and just like Sakura, she didn't get the familiar feelings to the same extent that she always used to get when they were in the academy.

'Huh? What's going on? Why isn't Sasuke-kun so hot anymore?' Ino thought, but couldn't find any answer. She decided to ask her mother when she was done here, and charged at Shikamaru, who tried to catch her in his shadow. She dodged and threw four shuriken towards him. He dodged as well, but that was what Ino had wanted, since she was right behind her shuriken, moving faster than Shikamaru thought she could and hit him right in the face. He stumbled backwards and was rewarded with a kick to the chin, sending him flying into the air. Shikamaru was confused.

'How did she become so good?' Shikamaru asked himself, before feeling Ino's fist in his kidney, and then a lot of pain.

Naruto looked at Chouji, mumbled something about eating and fighting not belonging together and charged.

Chouji looked up and saw Naruto charging, drawing a kunai. Slightly concerned for his food, Chouji formed some seals for his family jutsu.

"Multi size no jutsu" he yelled and turned into a human meatball. Naruto skidded to a halt and looked at the big boy in front of him.

"Just how am I supposed to fight something like that? It's just a lot of fat." Naruto said and fire erupted in Chouji's eyes.

"I'M NOT FAT. I AM BIG BONED. HURRAY FOR BIG BONED PEOPLE!" Chouji yelled and started rolling towards Naruto with impressive speed. Naruto jumped out of the way and did some seals.

"Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu." Naruto yelled and blasted a huge fireball towards Chouji, who didn't see it coming. The ball hit Chouji and blasted him straight into some trees, where he passed out.

"Um, okay. That was…short." Naruto said while grabbing Chouji before walking over to Tenshi and looking at the rest of the fights, while Tenshi checked Chouji for injuries.

Sakura was still fighting Sasuke, and it looked like she would lose. She hadn't got in any good hits at all. Sasuke, to his frustration, hadn't landed many hits either, but he was on the offence, while Sakura was forced to play defensive. Sasuke would try to punch her, and she would block it, he tried to kick her and she jumped out of the way. He threw three shuriken after her, but she used a kunai to deflect them. Sasuke grew tired, jumped back and formed the seals for the Goukakyuu. Sakura tired to make the seals for the Doryuuheki, but Sasuke was to fast for her. He spit his fireball at her from less than twenty feet away. Sakura didn't have time to react, but Tenshi did, using Shunshin he caught her and appeared next to Naruto.

"Alright, Sasuke wins against Sakura." Tenshi said and Sakura looked sad. Sasuke smirked arrogantly.

"Well, seems like you have gained some skills forehead girl, but you are no match for me. Such a pathetic excuse for a ninja, I bet you use all your time trying to look good, instead of training. Don't bother, it isn't working." Sasuke nearly spat out. Sakura looked like she was about to cry. She looked really hearth broken.

'So…th…this is how S…s…sasuke-kun really feels? That I am weak and ugly? Wh…why? Why is he so mean? Why is he such a…' Sakura thought, stammering even in her own thoughts, but she didn't get to finish, since Naruto interrupted her chain of thoughts.

"Bastard! How dare you speak like that to Sakura-chan. You could never hope to see just how beautiful she is. Sakura-chan will always be too good for a bastard like you. She's smart, funny, pretty and strong. You don't even know how strong she is, you stupid Sasuke-teme." Naruto yelled, shaking a fist at Sasuke. Sakura stared at him in wonder.

'He's standing up for me. Why?' Sakura thought. She then looked at Tenshi, and was slightly scared. His eyes, although still their warm brown, was filled with intense rage. Towards Sasuke. He looked like he would kill Sasuke soon, and Sakura was shocked that she didn't care much about that.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and shook his head.

"Shut up dead last. You are a disgrace to all ninjas. It is a miracle you even graduated, an even greater miracle that you got him, the famous White Wolf, as a sensei." Sasuke said and pointed to Tenshi, who seemed to get an idea and smirked evilly.

"Is that so Sasuke-kun? Well, why don't you and Naruto spar then. In fact, that is an order, and Naruto!" Tenshi said and walked over to Naruto, and whispered something in his ear. When he pulled away, Naruto's eyes were wide and his grin was huge.

"Really?" Naruto asked and Tenshi nodded.

"Of course. Why not?" he asked and Naruto smirked while looking at Sasuke.

"Alright. I'll kick your butt Sasuke-teme." Naruto said confidently, while Sasuke just snorted.

Ino heard Sasuke announced as the winner, and was slightly concerned for Sakura, but she couldn't stop moving or Shikamaru would trap her. But when Sasuke began speaking to Sakura like he did, both Ino and Shikamaru stopped moving, listening to what he said. Ino was fuming. No, she was enraged.

'How dare he? How dare Sasuke-kun…no, not Sasuke-kun. He doesn't deserve that name. How dare Sasuke talk to Sakura like that? Sure she is annoying and has a big forehead, but she is…' Ino thought but broke off when she heard Naruto start yelling at Sasuke. Ino smiled from what she heard.

'Heh, for once Naruto knows what he is talking about.' She thought and snickered at the nickname Naruto made for Sasuke. She turned to Shikamaru.

"I'm sorry Shika, but I want to finish this fast so I can watch Sasuke get his ass kicked by Naruto." She said, and Shikamaru huffed and mumbled troublesome. He then saw Ino making seals and suddenly clear spheres were flying at him. They were about the size of snowballs. Shikamaru dodged, spun and jumped to get away from the spheres. Ino charged but suddenly found herself unable to move.

"Shadow imitation success." Shikamaru said and Ino glared as best as she could. Shikamaru ignored the glare and walked to the right. Ino followed, mirroring his steps. Shikamaru walked and stopped so that Ino was standing in front of a tree. A very hard looking tree.

"Sorry Ino, but as you said, this fight should finish now." Shikamaru said and swiftly bowed. Ino couldn't control herself, mirrored the bow and smacked her head on the tree. She was knocked unconscious. Shikamaru sighed before moving over to pick her up, but Tenshi appeared next to her.

"Nice strategy Shikamaru. I just hope you won't treat Ino like Sasuke treated Sakura." Tenshi said, while picking Ino up. Shikamaru sighed and shook his head.

"It may be troublesome, but I disagree with Sasuke's attitude. Ino isn't weak, and she would have won if she was a little better at making up strategies." He said and Tenshi smiled before walking over to Sakura. Once there, he sat Ino down and used some of his chakra to wake her. she did have the mother of all head aches though, and since Tenshi pretty much was clueless when it came to medical jutsus, he couldn't help her. Ino moaned before looking around and seeing Sakura next to her, still looking depressed. Quickly scooting over to hug her, Ino stroked Sakura's hair. Sakura hugged Ino back, mumbling something like "Why is Sasuke-kun like that?"

Ino grasped Sakura's shoulders and looked into her eyes.

"Sakura, the Sasuke we thought we knew doesn't exist. He showed us just what he is today. He isn't anything other than a bastard and doesn't deserve our love or being called kun." Ino said and Sakura nodded, sadness exchanged with anger and determination.

"I won't be what Sasuke said I was. I will be a strong and beautiful kunoichi." Sakura said. Tenshi, who was standing next to Ino and looking at the spar between Sasuke and Naruto, smiled and looked down at Ino and Sakura.

"You both are that already. All that Naruto said you are, both of you are. Got that Sakura, Ino? Never let anyone tell you different, and don't think you love someone who treats you like that. Instead go for someone who loves you like you are, and sees how you really are." Tenshi said and both Ino and Sakura were a bit comforted by that. Ino then gave him a suspicious glare.

"Someone like Naruto you mean?" she asked and Tenshi chuckled.

"Your words Ino, not mine. But why not? You were both wrong about Sasuke being mister right, perhaps you are wrong about Naruto not being 'datable'" Tenshi said. Ino and Sakura exchanged glances before turning to watch the fight.

'That Sasuke. He managed to get the two girls who liked him the most, to lose their crush and probably hate him. Is revenge all he cares about?' Tenshi thought.

Naruto and Sasuke glared at each other, standing with about three steps worth of distance between them. Sasuke stood with one foot slightly in front of the other, one hand at chest height, and the other over his kunai pouch.

Naruto stood with his feet at shoulder width, his arms slightly bent at his sides. Both Naruto and Sasuke had determined looks on their faces, but one major difference. Sasuke was smirking and was his arrogant self, while Naruto was angry.

'I'll make him pay for what he said to Sakura-chan.' He thought. Kyuubi wouldn't normally care much, but this time he openly agreed to Naruto.

"That's right kit. No one insults the mate of the vessel for the great Kyuubi no Kitsune." Kyuubi growled and Naruto mentally blushed at having Sakura refereed to as his mate.

Sasuke saw a slight drop in Naruto's defences and quickly threw four shuriken and two kunai at the blonde boy. Naruto noticed and dodged, but Sasuke was already on him, punching and kicking. Naruto did a great job of dodging and blocking. Not once did Sasuke land a punch or kick on Naruto. Sasuke suddenly jumped back and formed seals.

"Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu." Sasuke called out and blasted a fireball towards Naruto. Sakura and Ino gasped as they saw the fireball hit Naruto, but then they saw the puff of smoke, indicating that Naruto used a kage bunshin. Sasuke saw the smoke and looked around, but couldn't see Naruto. Tenshi smiled when he saw Naruto's tactic. Sasuke felt someone behind him and spun around with a kunai and stabbed Naruto in the chest, but Naruto burst into smoke and Sasuke felt a kunai pressed against his neck.

"Well, it seems the great Uchiha got bested by the dead last." Naruto said and Sasuke growled. He moved his hand slightly, but Naruto grabbed it and held it firmly against Sasuke's back, nearly breaking it.

"Idiot, I am holding you hostage. Give up or else." Naruto growled.

"Or else what dead last? You're going to kill me?" Sasuke asked.

"In real combat I would already have." Naruto said, while grinning humourlessly.

"Alright, that is enough. Naruto, release Sasuke. Kakashi get down here." Tenshi said and Naruto did as he said, but the moment he did, Sasuke spun around and tried to punch Naruto's throat. Naruto managed to block, but when Sasuke pulled back his fist for another strike, he felt his hand being grabbed by two hands. Turning his head, he saw Kakashi standing behind him on his right, one hand holding Sasuke's arm, while the other held an orange book called Icha Icha paradise. Tenshi was on Sasuke's left, one hand holding Sasuke's arm, the other in Tenshi's pocket. But unlike Kakashi, who was reading the orange book, Tenshi was staring at Sasuke coldly.

"Yo! Sorry I am late." Kakashi said cheerfully. Sakura, Ino and Naruto recovered from the shock and yelled at the grey haired Jounin: "YOU'RE LATE!"

Tenshi turned to look at Kakashi.

"They are right. I thought I asked you not to be late. I had to start a spar just so the kids could have something to do." Tenshi said and Kakashi smiled, or Tenshi thought he did, from the way his visible eyes formed a shape. The rest of Kakashi's face was, as always, covered with either his facemask, or his forehead protector that he had tilted over his left eye.

"Apparently that got a little out of hand." Kakashi said cheerfully.

"Don't give me that crap. You know what happened, since you have been sitting in that tree for fifteen minutes already. Haven't you taught Sasuke anything? He attacked when the fight was over. That isn't something that should be done in training." Tenshi scolded and Kakashi released Sasuke and scratched his head sheepishly.

"Ah, well. You see, we haven't had much time for training yet and…" Kakashi began but was stopped by a glare from Tenshi.

"I don't care. Do something about this arrogant Uchiha, or else I will." Tenshi said, raising his hand (that still was holding onto Sasuke's arm) a little more into the air, lifting Sasuke a little of the ground. Kakashi looked uncomfortable. Tenshi was still looking angry and half threw, half released Sasuke, who promptly fell to the ground.

"Kids, come here." Tenshi commanded, and Naruto, Sakura and Ino hurried over to him. Shikamaru and Chouji also followed orders relatively quickly. Tenshi looked annoyed for a bit before turning to Kakashi.

"This was your splendid idea. What now?" Tenshi asked and Kakashi put away his book.

"How about testing to see which elemental jutsu suits the kids best." Kakashi suggested but Tenshi shook his head.

"Already done." he simple said and Kakashi's eye widened slightly.

"Um, then how about tree walk?"

"Nope, Naruto, Sakura and Ino have mastered that." Tenshi said and team 7 beamed with pride. Sasuke, Shikamaru and Chouji didn't know what tree walk was, so they didn't know what was so great about mastering that. Kakashi was surprised but didn't show it.

"Um, well then mister super sensei. You think of something." Kakashi said and Tenshi glared a little before turning to the six Genin.

"Alright, this is how we do it. Naruto, you and Shikamaru are going to spar. Sakura and Chouji will also spar. Ino will try and spot faults with how you four are fighting." Tenshi said. Naruto looked at Shikamaru and grinned, while Shikamaru sighed and mumbled "troublesome".

"Oh and Shikamaru. Next time you say troublesome in training or on missions with me, you are going to take some punishment. To be nice, I will let it go this time, but next time I won't be nice." Tenshi said and Shikamaru stared at him while Ino snickered. She stopped when Tenshi glared at her though.

Sakura looked at Chouji and sighed.

'I am fighting a fat ass? Naruto beat him in lest than two minutes.' She thought. Chouji didn't think much, other than of eating.

Ino was thinking about her task, wondering why she had been assigned that. She sat down against a tree overlooking the two pairs of Genin, a note book in her hands.

"Okay, Ino is the leader of the spar. When she sees someone doing something wrong, she will write it down, and after a while she will stop the match." Tenshi said and the group nodded. Kakashi looked over at Sasuke, who was standing a little behind Tenshi, brooding again.

"What about him?" Kakashi asked and Tenshi's grin became really sadistic.

"Either I or you get to teach him to follow orders and not attack fellow Konoha nins when not in a sparring match." Tenshi said and Kakashi's eye twinkled in amusement.

"Well then, just because of his comment about Sakura, I think you should have the honour." Kakashi said and Tenshi nodded before turning to Sasuke.

"Alright Sasuke-kun. We will hold our spar after they have finished theirs. Until then you either sit still and watch, or you prepare for our spar." He said. Without a word, Sasuke turned around and walked over to the backpack he had brought with him.

"Now, begin!" Ino yelled, and Naruto charged Shikamaru, who yawned and formed the seals for his family jutsu, but Naruto intercepted him by throwing a kunai towards him. Shikamaru dodged, while Naruto did a hand seal and a kage bunshin pooped out next to him. Shikamaru looked lazily at the clone before sending his shadow towards Naruto again. This time, Naruto didn't dodge, but was caught. Shikamaru smiled slightly and began to walk towards the same tree he knocked out Ino with, when suddenly he hear running and felt a kunai against his neck.

"Sorry Shikamaru, but I win." Naruto said, smilingly. Shikamaru looked behind him and saw that the clone Naruto had made was standing behind him.

"Very good Naruto, but now I have you both." Shikamaru said and his shadow captured the clone as well.

"Damn it." Naruto cursed while Shikamaru thought for a bit before pulling out a kunai. Naruto and clone Naruto copied his movements.

"Sorry Naruto." Shikamaru said and threw the kunai. The two Naruto's also threw their kunai mirroring where Shikamaru had thrown his. But unfortunately for Naruto, Shikamaru had aimed the throw so that he was safe, but the kunai graced each other and changed course slightly. That caused Naruto to be hit with a kunai in the chest while the clone poofed away, while Naruto was falling to the ground after being released by the shadow.

Tenshi was instantly at Naruto's side, pulling out the kunai and checking if it was a serious wound. Naruto looked slightly scared, but then Tenshi smiled.

"Don't worry Naruto. You'll be fine. You are already almost healed up. Luckily the kunai didn't go in to deep." Tenshi said and Naruto nodded. Tenshi picked him up and carried him over to a concerned looking Ino.

"Rest here Naruto. Winner Shikamaru." Tenshi said. Shikamaru was about to say "troublesome" but thought better of it.

Sakura looked at Chouji, who was busy stuffing his face.

'How disturbing. It's almost worse than seeing Naruto eat ramen.' Sakura thought, and almost shuddered when a pack of chips vanished disturbingly fast.

"If you aren't attacking, then I am." Sakura yelled and threw some shuriken at Chouji, who blocked them…with his bag of chips. Sakura sweat dropped at that, before she started thinking about how she should do this.

"Ah, I know. Doton: Doryuuheki." Sakura said, jumped, did the seals and spat out the mud. Instead of spreading it around herself, she spread it around Chouji. The wall rose up and Chouji was surrounded by a wall of earth. He looked around, but all he saw was the wall. Sakura was standing on top of the wall. She smiled and let her chakra stop holding the wall up, and it collapsed. On poor Chouji. He couldn't do anything to get away from the avalanche that rushed towards him, and right before he was buried, Kakashi appeared next to him, grabbing Chouji and reappearing next to Ino, and a still recovering Naruto.

"Well Sakura, try not to overdo it like that next time." Kakashi said, and Sakura scratched her head while sticking her tongue out playfully. Tenshi looked at Kakashi.

"You are one to talk. Shikamaru nearly killed Naruto with that kunai." Tenshi said and Sakura looked at Naruto, gasped when she saw the bloody shirt and rushed over to him.

"Naruto, you alright?" she asked and he nodded slightly.

"Naruto heals fast, and the wound wasn't that serious anyway. He'll be fine." Tenshi said and Sakura looked relieved. Ino looked at Naruto, before looking at her notes. They were blank.

"Oh, I forgot to look for faults." Ino said and Tenshi sighed while rubbing his temples.

"I see. It's to late now then. Alright Sasuke-kun. It is your time." Tenshi said and Sasuke grumbled a little. Anyone could hear that 'kun' was spoken in a mocking matter.

Sasuke walked into the middle of the clearing and stood in the same pose he had against Naruto, complete with his look of arrogance. His eyes literally screaming: "I don't care if you are a Jounin. I'll beat you."

Tenshi sighed and got into his own stance. He stood with his right foot towards Sasuke, had his feet at shoulder width, the right foot slightly more bent than the left, leaning him a little forward. His right arm was bent in front of him, his left behind him. (A/N: Think Goku's fighting stance in DBZ.)

Sasuke focused on his opponent and threw two shuriken just to test Tenshi. The shuriken was quickly caught.

"Nice of you to test me Sasuke-kun, but I think you need to work a little harder." Tenshi said and threw the shuriken back. Sasuke blocked and looked at Tenshi. He stood with his arms crossed.

"You are arrogant Sasuke-kun. I intend to teach you that even though you are from the Uchiha clan, you won't get strong just because of your blood line. Strength isn't given, it is earned. A good ninja takes any opponent seriously. Now come." Tenshi said and Sasuke growled before charging.

"Lesson 1: Taijutsu." Tenshi said, his eyes turning blue.

"Um, Tenshi? Aren't that a little overboard?" Kakashi asked, a little concerned for Sasuke's health.

"What do you mean? I don't think Sasuke-kun wants me to hold back." Tenshi said while looking at Kakashi. Sasuke grabbed the chance and kicked Tenshi in the head, but Tenshi caught his kick, grabbed Sasuke's leg and started swinging him around in a circle.

"Nice to see you Sasuke-kun. Enjoying yourself?" Tenshi asked before letting go. The result was a seething Sasuke flying towards a tree. He flipped and landed on the tree vertically, but since he hadn't learned tree walk, he didn't stick to the tree. He dropped to the ground, did a handspring and launched several shuriken towards Tenshi, immediately afterwards he started making seals.

"Katon: Housenka no jutsu." he yelled and shot out a dozen fireballs towards Tenshi.

Tenshi caught the shuriken and jumped out of the way of the fireballs.

"Here, you dropped these." Tenshi said and launched the shuriken back towards Sasuke. They landed around him and he jumped away, in case Tenshi had added a 'gift'. That was a mistake, since Tenshi had anticipated that and was now right behind Sasuke. Sasuke didn't know this, since Tenshi moved too fast and stealthily. Sasuke looked around for a while but Tenshi kept out of his vision. Then suddenly Sasuke felt a hand clamp on his shoulder.

"Hello Sasuke-kun. Looking for me?" Tenshi asked, released Sasuke and looked curiously at him. Sasuke growled and launched himself towards the Jounin, and tried to punch him with his right hand. Tenshi answered by using his left hand to punch Sasuke's right. Sasuke tried to punch with his left, but it was met by Tenshi's right. Sasuke looked at his hands, they were bruised, and his knuckles hurt. Tenshi decided to kick Sasuke and caught him in the chest, sending Sasuke flying backwards again. He flipped, landed on his feet and tried to move away, but Tenshi was on him. Punching Sasuke in his stomach, almost knocking the breath out of the boy, then sweeping away his feet from under him and slamming his fists into Sasuke's chest. He landed heavily on the ground, panting hard. He looked at Tenshi, who was walking away.

"Lesson 2: Ninjutsu. Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu" Tenshi said, spun around and a ball of fire flew from him towards Sasuke. He managed to jump away, but only barely.

'What's up with this Jounin? He's trying to kill me?" Sasuke thought, dodging another Goukakyuu. He decided to attack back and formed the seals for the same jutsu.

Both Sasuke and Tenshi called out: "Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu" at the same time. The two fireballs met in the middle. At first it looked like they were equal in power, but then Sasuke's got overpowered and he had to dodge.

"Lesson 3: Genjutsu." Tenshi said and looked at Sasuke. Sasuke meet his gaze and suddenly saw himself dying in horrible ways. He collapsed and started shivering.

"You see Sasuke? Being a Uchiha isn't enough. Being a genius isn't enough. Thinking you can do everything alone won't work. Treating your fellow Konoha ninjas like you did earlier, won't make you strong. Lesson finished." Tenshi said, turned around and walked back to the others. Sasuke couldn't stop shivering.

Sakura and Ino looked at the spar, and didn't feel any remorse about Tenshi effectively kicking Sasuke around. They actually smiled when Tenshi hid behind Sasuke.

"Hah, the bastard is finally getting what he deserves. He hasn't been able to do anything to Tenshi-sensei." Naruto said and Ino and Sakura nodded.

"I wonder how Sasuke reacts when he finds out that Tenshi isn't using no where near his true power." Kakashi said curiously.

Then Sasuke collapsed and started shivering.

"Huh? What did sensei do?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know. But he used a Genjutsu, that's for sure. Sasuke doesn't seem too happy." Kakashi replied. Tenshi walked over and smiled slightly.

"If you were wondering, that was a kanashibari without me paralyzing him." Tenshi said and Kakashi looked at Sasuke, who was still shaking.

"I still think you went a little overboard. But at least he should know that he isn't so superior as he thinks now." Kakashi said and Tenshi smiled.

"Yeah, if he is smart, that is."

"Now that Sasuke-kun has stopped shaking, I think we should end today's training. See you three next Saturday, unless we have a mission. Then I'll see you sometime later." Tenshi said cheerfully to team 10, who nodded. They looked slightly afraid of the Jounin though.

"Come on Naruto, Sakura, Ino." Tenshi said and started walking away. The three Genin followed, chatting about how Sasuke had been beaten without much effort.

"Okay, since that was really just sufficient for a warm up, I think that we should train a bit now. Begin with laps." Tenshi ordered. Naruto, Sakura and Ino began to run, while Tenshi observed. After a while, he sensed someone coming, and turned to see Rin walking towards them. A warm feeling suddenly appeared in his chest area.

'Huh? This feeling again? What is that? And why do I get it when I look at Rin?' Tenshi thought. He was really confused, ever since he came back; he had been feeling weird around Rin. Not uncomfortable, just weird. A kind of weird that he didn't mind. He would also catch himself staring at her, sometimes her body, but mostly her face. Ever since he woke up with her on his chest on that camping trip, he would sometimes see her face. Almost like a photo stuck to his eye.

'I have to figure out what's wrong with me.' Tenshi thought and waved when Rin waved to him.

"So, how was it to train with Kakashi's kids?" Rin asked when she reached him. Tenshi gave a short laugh.

"Kakashi was late, as usual, so I decided to have the kids spar. Naruto against Chouji, Ino against Shikamaru and Sakura against Sasuke. Naruto won pretty easily. Ino lost because of Shikamaru's planning, but Sakura…she lost against Sasuke. Not surprisingly, since she held back and he went pretty much all out, but…" Tenshi said but didn't continue. Instead he turned and watched the kids run.

"But what?" Rin questioned curiously.

"After the spar, Sasuke started verbally abusing Sakura. She was crushed. I could practically see how her and Ino's feelings for the bastard just vanished. But it worries me. That boy…he will destroy more than he should. He already has." Tenshi said and sighed. Rin gawked at Tenshi before turning to look at Sakura.

"She seems fine though." Rin said and indeed Sakura didn't look like she had been hearth broken the same day. Quite the opposite actually, she looked happy, and was talking and joking with her two team mates.

"I don't know what to think about it, and to be honest, I have no idea how to handle feelings like that. I don't even know how to know when someone is in love or not. The result of no childhood or normal upbringing I suppose." Tenshi said and shrugged. Rin looked at him before turning back to watch her daughter.

'So, he doesn't know…' Rin thought sadly. She didn't let it show though.

"Sakura is a smart girl, Ino too. They will either figure it out, or ask for help. Let's just hope they don't ask you, right?" Rin said and Tenshi huffed while crossing his arms.

"Okay you three. I think we should call it a day. Take the rest of the day of, and I'll see you on Monday." Tenshi said. Naruto, Sakura and Ino whooped in joy at getting a day off and ran towards Konoha. Rin turned to Tenshi and looked like she was about to say something.

Tenshi noticed and looked at her, and found himself staring again.

'So beautiful…what the? Why am I thinking like that?" Tenshi thought and tried to stop staring. He wasn't successful. Soon he was staring again, the weird feeling back with a vengeance. Rin noticed him staring and blushed a deep crimson.

"What? Is there something on my face?" she asked. Tenshi shook his head.

"No, your face is pretty as usual." He said. They both blushed when they heard what he said.

"Um, I have to go now. Sakura probably wants dinner soon. See you later." Rin said and hurried away. Tenshi stared after her, admiring how her body moved as she ran. He shook himself and headed home.

Tenshi lay in his bed, thinking about his feelings for Rin. They confused him to no end, he just couldn't figure them out. Why was he feeling like that for her? It couldn't be love, could it? Did he really start to feel like that for Rin? Wasn't that wrong? After all she was eleven years older than him, although he knew several other couples that had just as much of an age difference, and that didn't seem to get in the way of their love.

But his sister. Adoptive and unofficial sister, but still. Tenshi had never been so confused before, so he did the only thing he could think of; go and seek help. From who else but the wisest man he knew; Sandaime Hokage.

"So, you wanted my advice about something?" Sandaime said and Tenshi nodded. They were in the Hokage mansion, sitting in the living room, Tenshi, Sandaime and Sandaime's wife; Kujaki. Kujaki was a nice lady, slightly wrinkled, greying hair and sparkling eyes, filled with humour.

"Hai, actually advice from the both of you." Tenshi said and looked between Sandaime and Kujaki, both of them raised an eyebrow each.

"Oh, and what kind of problem do you have my young friend." Kujaki asked curiously.

"I have been getting weird feelings for Rin. I don't know what it is, but it's confusing." Tenshi said and Kujaki and Sandaime looked at each other before turning to Tenshi.

"Isn't Rin your sister?" Kujaki asked. Tenshi shook his head.

"No, not really. When we were younger, Rin and I were really close, we spent a lot of time together. I spent more time with her than I did with Kakashi, Obito, or even Yondaime-sama. I and Rin used to take care of each other, and Obito once said we were like brother and sister, so I started calling her that. She didn't like it at first, but eventually started calling me brother. It just kind of stuck past childish nicknames." Tenshi explained and Sandaime and Kujaki nodded thoughtfully.

"So, you are just good friends that call each other siblings." Sandaime said, more a statement than question, but Tenshi nodded anyway.

"What kind of feelings are you having then? How do they feel like?" Kujaki asked. Tenshi thought for a bit before responding. He pictured Rin in his mind, feeling the strange feeling again.

"It feels like…when I look at her, all other things are unimportant and small. Sometimes it is like nothing else but me and her exist. I have to force myself to look away and focus on other things. When we were training Naruto, Sakura and Ino, half the time I wasn't able to focus and would stare at Rin, almost lost in her beauty. I feel warm, uneasy, jumpy, slightly uncomfortable but also strangely comfortable and at peace when I am with her. Another thing I cannot understand is that I remember having similar feelings for her when we were younger, although on a much smaller scale. Back then I thought that was how a brother felt for his sister, but brothers don't feel like their life isn't complete without their sister, right? That is how I feel when Rin leaves. It feels like something is twisting in my chest, and I want to call out to her and tell her to stay." Tenshi said, and looked down on the floor, unsure what all that meant. What he didn't see was the amused and thoughtful expressions on Sandaime and Kujaki's faces.

"Tenshi, I think you should stop calling Rin your sister." Sandaime said calmly after a little moment of thoughtful silence went by. That confused Tenshi though.

"Um, why?" was the simple question that came from him.

"Because you are in love with her." Kujaki said and Sandaime nodded, a smile on his face.

Tenshi stared between them, not sure if he heard them right. Then he became confused again.

"How…is that possible?" Tenshi asked and Sandaime smiled even wider at him.

"From what you told us, you have loved her for a long time. Ever since before Obito died." Sandaime explained and Kujaki nodded in agreement.

"Tenshi, I can see that you have never learned about things like this. What you should know is that true love does not know time or age. True love doesn't wait until people is ready. True love, although difficult to identify until you see it for yourself, lasts a life time. Tenshi, I can tell that you love Rin, that you have true love for her. You are still like a child when it comes to things like this, and a child that has true love for someone, can't hide it. I can see it when you speak of Rin, when you think about her. It is a sparkle in your eyes. That alone speaks volumes." Kujaki said and Tenshi looked at her before sighing and putting his face in his hands.

"But what am I supposed to do? Okay, I love her, but am I supposed to just tell her that?" Tenshi asked, annoyed that he knew so little about this.

"Something like that. Try to find out if she loves you back. If she does, then tell." Sandaime said and Tenshi nodded slowly.

"Alright." He said. Sandaime seemed to get an idea, and turned to his wife.

"Why don't you use your questioning skills to see if Rin loves Tenshi?" Sandaime asked.

"Questioning skills?" Tenshi asked and Kujaki smiled proudly.

"I was once a very good interrogator for ANBU. If Rin loves you, then I can find out." She said and Tenshi looked at her.

"I don't want Rin to interrogated. I am sorry, but I think I have to find out myself. But thank you for your advice and help." He said, stood up and bowed. Sandaime and Kujaki stood up as well.

"No problem, anything for a friend." Sandaime and Kujaki replied.

Naruto, Sakura and Ino were sitting at the dinner table in the Haruno residence. Rin was on the kitchen, making dinner. The three Genin were chatting about how this week had been.

"I can't wait to do missions. I'm sure we will be awesome." Naruto said loudly and the two girls nodded.

"Yeah, with all the training we have done, we should be ready for missions now." Ino said.

"Don't say that Ino-chan. It all depends on the mission." Rin said while carrying the food in.

"What do you mean mom?" Sakura asked and Rin sighed.

"Missions when you start as a ninja are easy, but after a while you will start risking your lives on every mission. Even someone as strong as Tenshi risks his life on missions. You can never be prepared enough for that." Rin said and the three Genin looked at her. She had gotten a depressed, almost fearful expression when she mentioned Tenshi.

They ate in silence after that, until Naruto got tired of it. The silence, not eating, since he loved Rin's cooking.

"That bastard." Naruto suddenly blurted out. Sakura, Ino and Rin wondered what he was talking about.

"Who?" they asked.

"Sasuke. That bastard dares talk about Sakura-chan and Ino-chan that way. I am glad Tenshi-ossan kicked his ass, I only wish he would have beat Sasuke a bit more." Naruto growled, and glared at his plate. That made him miss the blush that spread over Sakura and Ino's face.

'Thank you Naruto…' they both thought, amazingly at the same time. Rin noticed the blushing girls though, and suddenly had an idea.

"So, Naruto. What kind of girls do you like?" Rin asked and chuckled when Sakura and Ino glared at her a bit before looking curiously at Naruto.

Naruto stared at Rin and when he saw that all eyes were on him, he blushed and looked down on his plate and mumbled something.

"What? I can't hear you!" Rin teased and Naruto blushed even deeper.

"I like…girls that are smart, funny, pretty and strong. I like girls that can take care of themselves, but most of all; I like girls that like and acknowledge me for who I am, and don't see me as the Kyuubi." Naruto said and Rin, Sakura and Ino looked at him, a little surprised. He had only mentioned looks once.

'Interesting.' Rin thought

'Maybe he likes me. That wouldn't be so bad, he isn't as good looking as Sasuke, but he is a much better person.' Sakura and Ino thought and smiled slightly, imagining themselves with Naruto.

'As long as he dumps that old suit.' They both thought and looked at the orange clothes Naruto wore. They were several years old. (he hasn't picked up the new ones yet.)

"So, what about you two?" Rin asked and turned to Sakura and Ino. Both of them blushed and looked down.

"Hey, I told you what I liked. Now its your turn." Naruto said, crossing his arms.

"Sakura, why don't you go first?" Rin said and Sakura glared at her mother, thinking: 'I'll get you for this.'

"Um…I used to like Sasuke, but now I realise he isn't what I thought he was. I was in love with what I thought Sasuke was." Sakura said and Rin looked at her.

"What did you think he was then." Rin asked.

"Strong, funny, cute and handsome." Sakura said and Ino nodded before continuing:

"A good ninja, kind, thoughtful and loving. Lots of humour and brightness." She said and Sakura nodded.

'They like the same things then. Hmm, if I didn't know better, they just described Naruto. At least how he will be when he get his new clothes and stops eating ramen all the time.' Rin thought and smiled at the three Genin.

"Can you tell me who you like?" she asked innocently. Naruto, Sakura and Ino stared at her, opening and closing their mouths without any sound coming.

"Oh, come on. They way you spoke, you have someone in mind already. Here, write the names down on a piece of paper." Rin said and handed out a magically appearing peace of paper to each of the Genin. They were hesitant, but then began to write. After they were finished, Rin looked at the names.

Ino:

Likes: Naruto

Sakura:

Likes: Naruto.

Naruto:

Likes: Sakura-chan and Ino-chan.

'Oh, this is interesting. Very interesting.' Rin thought and grinned a bit.

"Okay, so Ino and Sakura. Why him?" Rin said and pointed to the notes. Sakura and Ino blushed and looked at each other.

"I don't know really. I guess…" Sakura began

"I saw how great he is, and how much he fits what I want in a boyfriend." Ino finished.

"And what about your choice Naruto?" Rin asked.

"Um, I…they…they are both so pret…no, beautiful, they are kind, real funny to be around. They are smarter than me, and really strong as well. It hurts like hell when they hit me. And they don't hate me." Naruto said and blushed. Rin looked at Sakura and Ino, and could have swore that their jaws was very close to hitting the table.

'He likes…us?' Ino and Sakura thought and looked at each other.

"I see. Well then, it seems we have a little drama here." Rin said and grinned widely. Naruto looked at her, confused, while Sakura and Ino had a look of understanding, and slight horror on their faces.

'She isn't…' they thought, but Rin interrupted.

"I mean, here we have a boy in love with his two team mates, and his two team mates both are in love with him." Rin said and smiled widely. Naruto's eyes were about to pop out of his scull.

"Wh…wh…what? You…you two…like…me?" Naruto stammered, looking at Sakura and Ino, both of them blushed and nodded, before blushing even deeper.

thud

Naruto had fainted.

"Naruto-kun!" both Sakura and Ino yelled and rushed to help him of the floor.

"This would be funny to watch, but I have someone to meet. See you three love birds later." Rin said and walked out, laughing at the two blushing faces.

Unknown to the three females, Naruto and Kyuubi was having a conversation. Naruto was sitting in front of Kyuubi's cage, while Kyuubi lay inside.

"Damn kit. You are a babe magnet. Two hot females are in lusting after you. Here is my advice: take them both!" Kyuubi said and laughed loudly.

"Okay, stupid fox, first of all, they aren't 'lusting' after me, they are in love with me. That is much better. Secondly, I'm not going to 'take' them." Naruto said and Kyuubi growled slightly.

"As you wish kit. Anyway, its time to wake up and meet your girlfriends." Kyuubi said and Naruto woke up.

When Naruto woke up, the first thing he saw was the concerned faces of both Sakura and Ino.

"Um, did I die and end up in heaven?" was the first thing Naruto said. When they heard that, Sakura and Ino blushed.

"No Naruto...kun. You passed out." Sakura said, hesitating slightly on the 'kun' suffix.

"Are you alright?" Ino asked and Naruto nodded.

"Never been better." He said and sat up.

"So, what now?" he asked and the girls looked at each other before turning to him.

"Choose." They said. Unknown to Naruto, Sakura and Ino had argued over who he liked the most. They had come to the agreement that he should choose who he liked most.

"Um, choose what?" Naruto asked.

"Which one of us do you like the most?" Sakura and Ino practically yelled, scaring Naruto.

"um…" he said and swallowed before beginning to think.

'Okay, who do I like the most? Sakura is smartest, but Ino is stronger. They are both so cute, pretty and beautiful, and I like being around them both. What to do? I don't like any of them more than the other.' He thought frantically.

"Um…I don't know. I think I like you both just as much." He said. Sakura and Ino looked at him before turning to each other with fire in their eyes.

"I'm not going to lose to you!" they both yelled and before Naruto could react, they had grabbed a hand each and were leaning against him, blinking their eyes seductively up at him.

"Um…" Naruto said and swallowed nervously.

'Help.' He thought but none came.

Meanwhile, Rin had arrived at the bar she was heading for. In there she met two of her best friends, Kurenai and Anko.

"Yo Rin. How are you?" Anko yelled while waving.

"Hello Anko-chan, Kurenai-chan. I'm fine. Just had a interesting discovery." Rin said and sat down next to her two friends.

"Oh, care to fill us in?" Kurenai asked, and Rin nodded. She then told Kurenai and Anko about how she had watched as Naruto, Sakura and Ino grew closer, and finally how they admitted their feelings at the dinner table.

"Wow, a threesome at that age. The boy must have a lot of potential then." Anko said and Kurenai shook her head at her friend's antics.

"So, you think their feelings are real, or just crushes?" Kurenai asked. Rin thought for a bit before smiling.

"I think they are real. The way they look at each other, it reminds me of how I used to look at Kashu, and how I find myself looking at Tenshi." Rin said.

"Have you told him yet?" Anko asked and Rin shook her head.

"I…want to, but I'm afraid of how he will react. I know I don't see him as my brother, but what if he sees me as his sister still. I couldn't bear it if he told me that." Rin said sadly.

"You really love him?" Kurenai asked and Rin nodded.

"Yeah, just as I loved Kashu. Those two, I don't feel any different about them. They both hold such large parts of my hearth." Rin said, a slight smile on her face.

"You don't deserve to be alone Rin. You should tell him, or just take him." Anko said, a perverted grin appearing on her face.

"I can't just 'take' him. I don't want him just for sex, I want him to be with me, love me like a boyfriend or husband should. Not just in bed." Rin said angrily and Anko waved her hands defensibly.

"Well, if you like, I could use a genjutsu to find out how he feels about you." Kurenai said and Rin stared at her.

"Huh? But…" she said but didn't continue.

"But what? That way you would know if he loves you or not. I think it's a great idea. Come on Kurenai!" Anko said loudly and jumped up. Kurenai smiled and got up as well. The two of them started to walk away, but Rin ran up to them.

"You aren't going to try and stop us are you? We'll just do it sometime later." Anko said confidently. Rin shook her head and smiled shyly.

"No, I won't stop you, I want to hear for myself." She said. Anko grinned at her.

"Good girl." She said and the three of them headed towards Tenshi's apartment.

Tenshi was home, working on a scroll when suddenly he go a irresistible urge to talk. About Rin and how he felt about her.

Rin, Anko and Kurenai had snuck into his apartment, and concealed themselves in a genjutsu. Then Kurenai had used a genjutsu on Tenshi, that got him talking. They listened as he spoke of how he felt for Rin. He spoke just as if he was speaking with a good friend of his. The rather one sided conversation was very like the conversation Tenshi had with Sandaime and his wife.

"And when Sandaime-sama told me I love her, I felt relived. Like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. The only thing is that I don't know how to find out if Rin loves me back." Tenshi said and Rin nearly rushed over to him, but Anko held her back.

"No, lets hear some more." Anko hissed. Rin nodded slowly.

"I read something about love when I got back from Sandaime-sama. The book said that two people in love are happy together, that their lives complete each other. I found myself wanting that with Rin. I guess Sandaime-sama and Kujaki-sama was right. I really love Rin." Tenshi said. Kurenai and Anko had huge smiles on their faces, while Rin had a dreamy look. She had just heard the one she loves, confess his love for her. But before she could move towards him, Kurenai and Anko had grabbed her and dragged her out of the apartment.

"Why did you do that?" Rin asked angrily.

"You have to go home and think over if you want to be together with him." Kurenai said and Anko nodded.

"You two love each other, but you should at least think it over until tomorrow. Then you can tell him." Anko said. Rin was about to protest, but her two friends didn't want to hear it.

Back in the apartment, Tenshi snapped out of the genjutsu and looked around.

'Huh? What the? Oh well.' He thought and went back to the scroll. It was titled: "How to master the heaven light."

Yo, Kin-Ryu Chikara here. Fifth chapter done.

Lots of stuff happening to the characters in terms of love here. I hope things aren't progressing to fast, but at least with Tenshi and Rin, keep in mind that they have in a sense loved each other since before Kyuubi attacked, only realising now that Tenshi is back. And Sasuke 'helped' develop Sakura and Ino's feelings for Naruto, in a sense opening their eyes to him.
