After they stopped all the bleeding and stabilized him, he started telling them what had happened, by writing it down. After Pein had read it to everyone, "This new foe, the Shiro Akuma, could become a problem if he can take down Deidara and Sasori in less then 30 minutes, and on top of that he didn't receive any injuries. Zetsu I want you to go and see what info you can get in this new enemy. The rest of you stay alert when your on your missions, we don't need anymore dead, or anymore rings lost." Pein spoke in a commanding voice to all the members of Akatsuki.

Zetsu immediately left to try and find information, and the rest of the Akatsuki talked about the possibilities of who this person could be.

"Very good Naruto, here is mission payment." Sarutobi handed Naruto a scroll. "your dismissed. You should get to your team, they should be here just…" Sarutobi started but didn't get to finish when his secretary opened the door, "Sir, team seven is here to see you." she said in a polite tone. "Thank you Kiriko, Send them in." he replied. "Yes sir." she replied then closed the door. "So Naruto how do you plan be with your team?"

"That's easy, I already am." Naruto said smoothly. Sarutobi looked confused for a moment, "You mean you're a shadow…" he didn't finished as 'Naruto' poofed out of existence just as Kakashi opened the door.

"Kakashi I assume your team would like a mission? I thought you would take off longer after that last mission." the sandaime said, genuinely surprised.

"I think we are only doing one D-rank today, then I'm going to up their training." Kakashi spoke.

Naruto whispered, "I love it how he say's 'we' are going to do a mission, when it's us that does it." Sakura brought he hand to her mouth to stifle a laugh, and Sasuke smiled.

Kakashi just acted like he didn't hear them, "So Hokage sama, do you have a mission that wont take to long?" Kakashi asked.

"yes I do, all you have to do is paint a house." Sarutobi said, normally this would be a long mission, but with Naruto and hi shadow clones, it would end up being the fastest.

"Hai Hokage sama." Kakashi said as he took the scroll, although he really didn't need it. Kakashi tossed the scroll to Sasuke, then shunshined out.

Team seven walked out of the office and down into the street. "So where are we supposed to go Sasuke?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke grunted as he opened the scroll, he looked at the address, "This way." Sasuke said as he took off walking towards the house.

Around 15 minutes later

When team seven walked up to the house they saw Kakashi standing there next to a couple buckets of paint. "Ok, all you have to do is paint the house, as long as it looks good, it doesn't matter how you do it." Kakashi said then pulled out his book, leaned up against a tree and started reading.

As they all grabbed a bucket of paint, Naruto made about fifty clones and had them start as well. Kakashi smiled under his mask at how quickly Naruto figured it out, Sasuke and Sakura had even used their ninja abilities to paint the high parts, instead of a ladder. With the clones help, they were finished in under an hour.

The trio walked up to Kakashi, "Hey Kakashi sensei we're done." Naruto said.

Kakashi peaked over his book to look at them, they really weren't that dirty considering they had been painting for the last hour. "Great, meet me at the training grounds and we'll start." Kakashi said the poofed out of existence.

"I guess we should get their as quick as we can." Naruto said as he climbed up onto the rood top and started off. Sasuke and Sakura on his heals.

Since they were on the roof tops the reach training ground seven in a few minutes and found Kakashi leaning against a tree reading.

The walked up to him, "So Kakashi sensei what are we learning today?" Naruto asked. "First go ahead and do your normal workout routine to warm up." Kakashi replied without looking at them.

They grumbled a little bit, but did as they were told. When they finished Kakashi put his book away and walked over to them, "Ok, first thing we're going to do is find out your elemental affinity." he received looks of confusion from Sasuke and Sakura, so he continued, "Elemental affinities is what your chakra is naturally aligned to. Every ones chakra is aligned with one of the base elements, fire earth wind water or lightning. Or in the case of some Kekkei Genkai, special sub elements, but I'm going to go into those right now."

"So how do we find out what our affinity is?" Sasuke asked.

"With this." Kakashi reached into his pouch and pulled out three pieces of paper. "This is chakra paper, its made from a wood that grows only in Suna, during the growing process it has chakra infused into it to make it react to chakra. All you have to do is channel your chakra into it." Kakashi handed them each a piece.

Sasuke channeled chakra into his and it burnt, "Fire Sasuke, not surprising all Uchiha have a fire affinity due to the sharingan." Kakashi stated. Naruto went next his split in half, "Wind Naruto, not many people in Konoha have that affinity, but I hear its quite common in Suna." Sakura went next, hers got damp and small parts of the edges crumbled off. "There are quite a few water users in Konoha, it means there is also a lot you can learn without leaving the village." Kakashi finished

"Since I cant teach you all at once I'm going to make two shadow clones to work with two of you and I will work with the other one." Kakashi then made a handsign and two clones popped into existence. One led Sakura and Naruto in different directions, while the original stayed with Sasuke.

"Ok Sasuke, here is a scroll with the jutsu on it we will be learning, there is two on it, you will eventually learn both, so just pick one that we will work on for today." Kakashi said to Sasuke, who opened up the scroll and saw two jutsu on it. The first.

Crow clone

A technique that produces a clone by projecting one's own chakra towards dozens of "crows". Because it uses crows as a medium, it requires less chakra than a shadow clone, while still being able to perform techniques. The dozens of crows come together to form the body of a clone. When the chakra projected by the user is severed, the crows disperse, though the user is still able to continue to speak through it.

Firestyle phoenix fire

his technique creates a volley of small fireballs, which are sent flying in an unpredictable manner assaulting the enemy. In addition, the flames are controlled one by one with chakra, so avoiding them all is extremely difficult. Shuriken can also be concealed within the flames, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. Like the flames, the shuriken can be controlled with chakra.

After reading them both Sasuke decided on the crow clone, knowing it would be helpful in battle. So he then began work on it under Kakashi's instruction.

With Sakura

"Ok Sakura, there is two jutsu on that scroll, you will learn both eventually so for now just pick one." the clones said as he tossed her a scroll.

Sakura opened up and read to herself.

Water clone

The water clone is similar to the shadow clone except it creates clones out of water that have one-tenth of the original person's power. Like other solid clone techniques, the clones can be used to perform tasks the user is unable or unwilling to do for themselves. The range of the clone is limited however, as it can not travel very far from the original body without losing control. Like other clone techniques, if the water clones are injured enough they will revert back to normal water. C-rank

False surroundings

This technique changes the appearance of a nearby object or area in order to disorient the opponent. When mastered it can change the area to look like something the target is scared of, or hates.

"I want to learn the genjutsu Kakashi sensei." Sakura said after thinking it over. Kakashi nodded and began to teach her the jutsu.

With Naruto.

"Ok Naruto, in this scroll is two jutsu, one you will be learning today, the other you will learn at a later time, so pick one for today." kakashi said then tossed him a scroll.

Great breakthrough

A technique which creates a large gust of wind that does cutting damage. C-rank.

Crow clone

A technique that produces a clone by projecting one's own chakra towards dozens of "crows". Because it uses crows as a medium, it requires less chakra than a shadow clone, while still being able to perform techniques. The dozens of crows come together to form the body of a clone. When the chakra projected by the user is severed, the crows disperse, though the user is still able to continue to speak through it.

Naruto thought about it for a second, he already knew the great breakthrough, but he had never actually learned the crow clone, "The crow clone." Naruto said. Kakashi was slightly shocked that Naruto would want to learn another clone jutsu, but nodded. He then began to teach Naruto how to do it.

By the end of the day all three members of team seven had at least gotten to the point where they could use the jutsu they had chosen to learn fairly easily. But by no means had they mastered it.

"Good job today, you all got your jutsu down fairly well, so for the next few days we will work on mastering it." kakashi said with a little pride in his voice, he had expected for it to take them at least three days to get this far.

"Umm, Kakashi sensei, whats the difference between learning a jutsu, and mastering one?" Sakura asked. Getting a nod from Sasuke who had also been wondering.

"That's a good question Sakura, you see when you learn a jutsu you must go through all of the handsigns to be able to mold your chakra correctly, but when you master a jutsu you can do it with as little as one handsign, sometimes a jutsu that is mastered requires no handsigns. It also uses much less chakra. You see, even though I know over a thousand jutsu, I don't use but maybe ten percent probably less, because all of the others use to much chakra to be of practical use." Kakashi said lazily.

"Oh ok, thanks Kakashi sensei." she replied.

"Sure no problem. Well that's all for today, meet here tomorrow we'll do a mission or two, then come back here to work on perfecting the jutsu you learned."

He received a 'hai' from all of them as they left.


well i know its not long, actually its rather short, and im sorry to say i dont have writers block or anything like that to blame, nope it was just me being lazy.

aside from being so short i felt this chapter was fairly good.

centrite, i do know what you mean, and i will try in futur chapters.

josh, i caught that to and fixed it.

sadly rixxel stryfe did not review the last chapter, and narjiro has not reviewed in the last several chapters. im not sure if my writing has deteriorated, or they have been busy or just not had access to the internet. but whatever the reason, i miss their critiques and advice.

well review and tell me what you think. good, bad, or just to say something.
