Disclaimer: One two three its easter. While I guess it isnt since it's only around half an hour from midnight.
"Finally were back. I wonder what happened to those five after the anbu took them." said Tenten.
"They were probably taken to be interrogated. If you really want to know I could find out for you." said Gai.
"Sure would be kind of interesting to know why they attacked us." she replied.
"I want to know how they got that weird power boost."
"Power boost?" asked Lee and Tenten.
"Didn't the ones you were fighting do something and get a huge power boost. The one I was fighting did something while he was in his web defense thing. When he did I felt his chakra increase and change into something that seemed kinda evil." said Naruto.
"The one I was fighting did it as well it may be some bloodline the Land of Rice has or some new kind of weapon. I'll mention it to whoever is in charge of their interrogation." said Gai.
"We back to normal training then." asked Tenten as she remembered her promised genjutsu. "Oh yeah that's right. Where is Kurenai?" was all she said before running of into the village.
"There was someone to teach me something to. What was his name Gai-sensei?"
"Asuma. Not sure where you would find him." Gai then pulled out a small map of the area around Konoha. "See right here there should be a large waterfall you can practice on to complete your training in understanding your wind type chakra."
"Okay thanks Gai. Looks like you get to train Lee by yourself today." said Naruto.
"That works out perfectly." said Gai while Lee thought the same thing. After Naruto had left Gai asked Lee. "Want to take of the weights for this spar?"
"Yeah haven't practiced with the faster movement for awhile. I think we both need to get used to it again." said Lee as they rushed of to their favorite sparing location.
"Hey old man you know where I could find someone called Asuma?"
"He is out on a mission Naruto sorry you will have to wait until he returns." 'What would he want with Asuma'
"Damn. When is he coming back?"
"Hey old man back from my mission." said Asuma as he walked into the office. "Oh sorry looks like your busy."
"That's alright he was looking for you anyways."
"Your Asuma? I need you to help me learn about my wind chakra affinity."
"Wind affinity huh. Isn't that a little advanced for a genin?" said Asuma.
"I think Naruto has progressed far enough to learn about it. Just teach him some jutsu at first. If he proves to be good at that maybe teach him the trench knife fighting style in that scroll I gave you."
"Okay that shouldn't be to hard as long as he is a quick learner I may be getting a genin team in a few months."
"I think he will do fine. Right Naruto?"
"Yeah a few months is all I need to learn some jutsu, but what is the trench knife fighting style?"
"It's just something that compliments will compliment your wind type chakra. Now how far are you in learning how to sue your wind type chakra?" said Asuma.
"I completed the leaf cutting thing and I was going to start on the waterfall cutting part." answered Naruto.
"Well let's leave and stop bothering the Hokage." When they walked out of the Hokage's office Asuma continued what he was saying. "Halfway through the basics better then nothing I guess. I know the perfect place to continue your training." then Asuma started walking of in the direction of the waterfall Gai had pointed out.
"Okay now that were here start the exercise."
"Mind if I use my normal way to train?"
"Normal way?"
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. I use bunshin to speed up the learning process."
"Good then you should learn even faster then I had hoped." 'If he can make that many Kage Bunshin and still have enough chakra to train for a long time he might become an extremely valuable ninja later on.' thought Asuma.
"Hey Kurenai-sensei I'm back."
"Okay good show me the genjutsu. Then I'll start teaching you the new one."
"Not even going to ask how my mission went?"
"Wasn't it just a patrol mission?"
"Yeah but we were attacked. I wasn't in the fight to much but that's when I first used the genjutsu from the scroll."
"Dangerous to test it out in a fight."
"Yeah but Naruto was there so if it messed up he could have covered for it."
"Okay show it to me and we will start training."
The next day Naruto seen Tenten on his way to meet Asuma. "Hey Tenten want to get some ramen?"
"I have to meet up with Kurenai-sensei soon but I have a bit of time."
When they got to Ichiraku Ramen Tenten noticed that a few of the girls around their age stared at Naruto and giggled while some blushed. She heard a few of them whisper things like, "It's the one that got higher scores then the Hyuuga in the academy," or, "He's kinda cute isn't he." She never knew why it bothered here but for some reason she hated it when they talked about him like that. She wasn't sure what it was until the realization hit her as they walked into the small ramen stand. 'Am I jealous? No way! I mean it's Naruto. Do I actually like him like that?' The rest of the time they were eating Tenten remained silent glancing at Naruto and just barely hiding her blush each time.
"Hey is something wrong Tenten? You have been pretty quiet."
"Huh? No nothings wrong. You just seemed intent on telling me what Asuma was teaching you. I have to go meet Kurenai-sensei now see ya later." said Tenten before running out of the ramen stand.
'Something is definitely wrong. Hope she tells me what it is soon because now I'm curious.' thought Naruto before walking of to meet with Asuma. He had almost completed the second step in understanding wind type chakra but after reforming his bunshin hundreds of times gave him a horrid headache and he couldn't continue.
"Hey you five I'll let you out of here on one condition. You steal the scroll of sealingfor me."
"Why the hell would we to that for you?"
"Because I help you. You help me. Simple really I let you out and you steal the scroll for me."
"Okay we will take the scroll for ya so let us out now."
"You'll have to wait until nighttime I wont be able to get you out of here before then."
"Well you better hurry up being stuck in this damn cell sucks."
When the Konoha ninja walked away to form a plan to get them out the five then began to talk about.
"Tayuya you sure you should have volunteered us like that?"
"It's a chance to get out of here and back to Orichimaru-sama."
"This time we listen to Kimmimaru. Especially since Tayuya was the first to go down in that fight."
"Shut up spider boy."
"Quiet it looks like that person is coming back to continue the interrogations. None of you reveal anything."
"Duh."
Later that night the person that gave them the offer at freedom returned. "Okay we don't have much time until someone notices your equipment is missing. Here you go now let's hurry up get that scroll and get out of here."
After releasing the seal on the cell that held the five sound ninja he found a kunai sticking into his neck. "Sorry we don't have time to get some scroll for you." said Tayuya as Mizuki fell over dead leaving a large and growing puddle of blood.
"That wasn't very nice Tayuya." Ukon said.
"Shut up let's get out of here."
They managed to make it to the wall before they were caught by two jounin that seemed to be having a competition on who could run up the wall backwards higher without using chakra.
"Hey Kakashi remember the group I told you about? The one that attacked my team."
"Oh yeah I remember looks like they escaped somehow."
They sat there facing each other of for a few seconds before Kimmimaru fell down on his knees and started coughing up blood. 'Damnit it's getting worse if this is what I think it is I am of no more use to Orichmaru-sama. They however are I must get them back to him.'
As he stood back up he said. "Tayuya, Jiroubi, Kidoumaru, Sakon Ukon get out of here now I'll hold them of until you can get far enough away. 'Orichimaru please forgive me. I must use the second level of the curse seal.'
As the four went to run away Kakashi threw a Kunai at them and said, "I won't let you leave."
Then a huge burst of chakra redirected his attention to Kimmimaru who had just activated his curse seal at its maximum level. "I said leave, now go. I'll take care of these two."
Deciding they didn't have a choice the two jounin turned towards Kimmimaru as the other four ran away towards the Land of Rice. Kimmimaru made the first move by reaching behind his back and pulling out his spine, "Tessenka no Mai." he said before charging.
Followed by, "Tendril." then the spine that slightly resembled a sword lengthened and shot out towards Gai as if it was trying to wrap around him. Gai jumping back quickly managed to avoid it.
"Kakashi hold him of while I take of my weights he's a lot faster and stronger then before."
Then Kimmimaru said, "Flower." as a large bone formed around his arm that resembled a spear. Directing his attention towards Kakashi who had pulled up his hitai-ate to reveal his Sharingan. Kimmimaru attacked by swinging his spinal cord. Following up by charging at Kakashi hoping he had lost he was at least slightly of balance from the first attack he thrust his spear towards him. Kakashi predicted the attack and easily dodged seeing the opening after a duel attack he jabbed at the sound ninja with a kunai.
Taking the hit Kimmimaru jumped back and noticed the other one was back in the fight. He charged Kakashi this time only to see him performing hand seals. 'Good he's wide open.' Gai intercepted him with blinding speed and a powerful spinning kick to the head. Dazed Kimmimaru tried to focus on the battle only to fall to his knees having another coughing fit. When he stood up again he heard. "Raikiri," and seen Kakashi charging him with some kind of lighting jutsu in his hand. 'He's moving to fast I can't dodge it.' thought Kimmimaru.
As Kakashi drew closer Kimmimaru focused all his bone strength to where he thought it was going to hit directly in his chest. Then it Raikiri connected with his chest and he could barely think to retaliate with his spinal cord because of the pain searing through the newly formed hole in his chest. He only had the strength to enclose the his ribs around Kakashi's hand cutting him before he could draw it out and give him some severe cuts around his abdomen from the swing with his spinal cord.
Kimmimaru fell over dead glad that he could be of use to Orichimaru. The only regret he had was that he wasn't good enough to become his vessel.
"Guess we have to report to the hokage that four of the prisoners from the Land of Rice escaped." said Gai.
"So much for are competition."
"Like you actually wanted to do it."
"No I suppose I didn't. Weren't you training that taijutsu specialist of yours? Why did you come bother me in the first place?"
"Well we got a little carried away in are spar today. He got knocked out. Should be up by morning."
"…"
The next day Tenten was still bothered by her realization at the ramen stand.
"Kurenai-sensei can I ask you a question?" asked Tenten.
"What is it?"
"Umm I think I might like someone but I'm not sure. What should I do?"
Kurenai shocked that someone so focused on becoming an elite kunoichi could fall for anyone paused for a bit to think of an answer. "First you should figure out if you actually like them." After saying that she remembered a few months ago when Asuma was trying to ask her out. He fidgeted so much that she knew what he was about to say. Even if she decided to be evil and make him say it.
"H-how would I do that?"
"Talk to him. Maybe ask him out on a date. You should try and get him to ask you out though. They seem to like that better even if he might get nervous."
"Umm okay I'll try that. So are you going to teach me that genjutsu?" she asked slowly getting out of her embarrassment of having to ask about Naruto.
"Nope not yet I decided you need some ninjutsu to help you out, so I'm going to check your chakra affinity. Here channel chakra into this paper."
"Okay like this?"
"Lightning affinity? Didn't think that would be what you got. Kakashi is probably the best ninja out of the lightning type chakra users in Konoha."
"Kakashi? The one Gai-sensei brags about beating?"
"Yeah, but I'm not sure which of them would win in an actual fight."
"Okay so do you want me to go look for him?"
"No I can teach you the basics of it. When it's time to learn jutsu though you'll have to go find him. When you do here is a little warning, he is a pervert."
"Maybe I can call him ero-sensei then."
"That wouldn't be a good idea. Well lets start on your training even though Gai should be doing this."
"Okay Naruto you have that mastered. On to the fun part the jutsu. Unless you want to learn the trench knife fighting style first?"
"How about jutsu in the morning and the trench knife fighting after lunch? Or vice-versa."
"Were going to need to spend more time on the trench knife style. The jutsu will probably come pretty fast with how quickly you learned the basics and your bunshin style training."
After a few months past Tenten had learned genjutsu and jutsu at a faster pace then ever. Naruto absorbed every jutsu Asuma taught him, but was a slow learner on the trench knife style. He understood the chakra enhancing easily but the actually movements were harder to learn. Lee was now using what Tenten and Naruto thought was high level jounin taijutsu. Tenten wasn't sure how to approach Naruto still so she just pretended to act normal around him. It didn't work though she noticed she was liking him more and more the with time passing.
"It's been awhile since Gai called a meeting that wasn't for a mission." said Naruto.
"Yeah he said it was something important that we would all like." said Tenten as she walked up to the other two.
"Wish I could have gotten more time to train with Asuma-sensei before he got his team. Now he has almost no time to teach me anything. We only spar once and awhile now."
"Same with Kurenai-sensei."
"Why is Gai-sensei late?" asked Lee as he walked up to the two.
"I'm not late you three are just early."
"You better not start picking up all of Kakashi's habits. He is even late for his own team." said Tenten.
"Aren't any of you going to ask what this meeting is for?"
"Okay fine I'll ask. What's it for?" asked Naruto.
"I have nominated all three of you for the chunin exams."
"YES!" all three of them jumped into the air celebrating in their own way.
"When do we start?" Tenten asked.
"Tomorrow is when the first part of the exam is held on the third floor of this building." said Gai as he pulled out his little map of Konoha pointing to a large building. "I want all of you to rest. No training for the rest of the day."
"You two ready?" asked Naruto as he stood outside the building waiting for them.
"Of course." replied Tenten and Lee.
Chapter six done little fight scene didn't last to long becuase I didn't think a half dead preteen should last long agaisnt to elite jounin.
I have also realised that I can't write fluff at all I suck at it. If anyone can help me with this please do so.
I think Naruto Tenten and Lee might be a little to strong though. If they get into a fight with someoen who is actually at genin level they might just accidently kill em or something.
And now I can start my evil plan for the story little bit of twist and remember Naruto doesnt know about Kyuubi nobody every told him about it.
I'm going to try to get another chapter out while it's still easter break but don't count on it.
