Naruto and its characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto

Thanks to Hatochan she is my beta reader

Kakashi POV

I had just handed Iruka the day's training schedule and waited for him to say something about Naruto. Instead, all he did was read it ,smirk and nod. "Iruka-sensei is there something you would like to share with me?" I ask while looking him in the eye.

"No. " Iruka said with a smile.

I felt my eye narrowing when Gai came in and handed Iruka his schedule. I turned and walked over to where the other jounin were standing and started to tell them what had happened today with Naruto. Of course, they looked shocked when I told them that the spar ended in a stalemate. Gai was standing next to me with Iruka, looking at me intently.

"Kakashi, you didn't go all out did you?" Gai asked quietly.

I felt shocked that he would ask me such a thing. After all, Naruto is a genin and me going all out would probably result in his death. " What?! Of course not! "

"Come to my training field tomorrow at 5 p.m. and do NOT be late Kakashi. I mean it, because if you are you will miss out on something very interesting."

I noticed that Gai and Iruka exchanged a knowing look and they both walked away. I heard Asuma ask the question on all of our minds. " What the hell was that about ?"

Next Day

Naruto POV

I wake up to see Lee leaning over me . "Lee, what the hell are you doing?" I demand.

Laughing, he straightend up and said, " Come on, Naruto-kun. We have a full day ahead of us and I have a feeling that Gai- sensei is going to train us 'til we drop!"

I give a small smirk and get up. Walking to the bathroom I can smell the breakfast that Lee has brought over. "Mmmm, sooo... what did you bring over today?"

" My special eggs, sausage, and home made biscuits. "

I feel myself drooling. Lee is as awesome at cooking and baking as he is at taijutsu. I swear he would make some man or woman a damn fine mate. " Lee, you spoil me ...thank you. " I watch as Lee turns a very nice shade of red. Walking past him into my bathroom, I get dressed, brush my teeth and attempt to tame my hair. Leaving the bathroom, I walk to my kitchen to find Lee, Gai-sensei, and Genma-sensei. "Morning all, how you all doing?" I ask as I have a seat at the table.

" Hey kit, hurry before that Genma grabs all the food !!!"

I almost choke on orange juice hearing Kyuubi snarling about Genma-sensei and his gluttony over Lee's cooking. So, I do as Kyuubi commands and load up my plate. I can hear the conversation taking place around me. I really do not feel like participating, so I don't.

Gai-sensei suddenly says, "Naruto, at tonight's training with both Genma-sensei and myself I expect you to go ALL out and I do mean for you to pull out all the stops. Am I understood ? " Gai- sensei is all but glaring at me.

" Yes, Gai-sensei. I will give it my all." I look over and Genma-sensei is looking at me with a strange feral look on his face and I suddenly feel nervous.

After eating breakfast Lee and I get the dishes done in record time and we all leave for training and work.

"Kit, tonight is going to be a demonstration of your abilities."

"Yeah, last time I found Genma-sensei standing there with that damn senbon all but falling out of his mouth."

"So, you think that he may have another teacher lined up or is this to show how far along you are?"

"Hmmm, I don't know. However, we will find out tonight , ne ?"

I reach the training grounds and find that Sakura and Sasuke are there doing their usual morning ritual. Meaning that Sakura is all but becoming one with a very reluctant and pissed off Sasuke. I walk past them, nod, and walk over to a tree. Picking up a leaf, I place it on my forehead, gather my chakra in my feet and start spinning the leaf on my forehead using only my chakra as I start walking up the tree.

I hear Sakura and Sasuke gasp.

"Dob-..I mean, Naruto-kun how are you doing that ?!"

I can hear Kyuubi laughing at the shock in Sasuke's voice. I turn and walk back down . " Alright, listen up. All you do is the same thing that we did in Wave country; only difference is that you are also spinning the leaf with your chakra . I suggest you start spinning the leaf first, then combine the two." Next thing I know, on my second trip down I see both of them working on spinning their leaves. I stop and pick up a second leaf, holding it in my hand as I start my exercise again. It is harder than I thought, but I keep at it.

We hear Kakashi walk up, sounding surprised. "Who taught you all that ?"

"Naruto-kun. " I hear Sasuke and Sakura say as they keep working on their leaves.

I don't say a word as I feel Kakashi stare at me.

" Well, if you wanted to get his attention you have it...completely."

" You think?" Damn fox, I swear sometimes he is the king of the obvious.

I look at Kakashi and he is smiling at me. " Alright, now that you three have worked your chakras you may all run five laps around the village and then you shall spar with each other."

I hop off my tree, dropping my leaves, and take off running.
