This is a non-beta version.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
Chapter 7: Choice of PowerThe second week of training felt like the first all over again for the girls. They did the same thing as the first week but with the weights and their goals increased by 50 percent. It was hell for them and at the end of the week they were dreading the thought of the next two.
At the start of the third week Naruto came to the training ground with a woman. The two walked up the three girls and he said "Hinata, this is Anko and she will be training you 1-on-1 for the next 2 weeks. You two will be going to training ground #44 and you will be staying there until the end of this month. After that you will come back here and we will start on control."
Hinata didn't know what to think. She didn't know this woman and she had to spend 2 weeks alone with her. After a few seconds she decided it didn't matter, she only had to what she was told. 'After all I'm useless anyway.' She then followed Anko who was walking away. Little did she know that's she was about to be hunted with little room for rest for the next 10 days.
Two Weeks Later
Ino and Sakura were waiting in there training ground leaning on a tree like always. Today the third member of their team should be returning. At least they hopped. Ino had asked her father about training ground #44 and Anko and what she learned were not pretty. Naturally Ino told all she knew to Sakura and now they were both waiting for the shy girl.
Five minutes later Naruto arrived and told the girls to follow him to a clearing. "But sensei, shouldn't we wait for Hinata? She should be back today." Said Sakura.
"What are you talking about. Hinata is sitting in the tree branch above you." Said the Jounin. Both girls quickly looked up to see the person who they were waiting for. Hinata then jumped out of the tree and landed on the ground without making a sound. That fact went unnoticed to the 2 girls who noticed that she was not wearing her jacket revealing that the shy girls chest was larger than both of theirs, combined.
When they reached the clearing Naruto decided to get the point. "Ino, I'm going to show you ultimate version of the Konoha Shuriken no Jutsu. You don't have nearly enough chakra or control to do this yet so just watch."
Naruto then tapped the back of his hand where a seal appeared and a leaf popped out. Before the leaf could fall he did two hand seals and the results shocked the girls. The one lone leaf multiplied into a thousand. He then pointed his hand towards some trees that were about 150 feet away and then the leaves shot off at the rate of about 25 per second. After about 40 seconds the girls noticed that it seems as if the amount of gathered leaves were not shrinking one bit.
"When combining Konoha Shuriken, a storage seal, and Kage Konoha, you can make Jutsu like this. As I said before, you don't have enough chakra or control for a jutsu of that scale. Control will be learned soon and chakra, if you let me I will give you a way store a large amount of it for latter use." Said Naruto.
Sakura, being the smartest of the group decided a question. "What do you mean IF we let you? Why would we not want to be able to store chakra?"
"Good question Sakura. I've put this seal 2 males but only 1 female has allowed me to." said Naruto 'Though Anko said "If you want to see me naked you'll have to take me to dinner first."' He thought. "The reason is simple, you need to be completely topless while I put the seals on you."
"WHAT!?" Ino and Sakura screamed, with plenty of red in their faces. Hinata had already decided to do it, if being topless is all it took to be strong then it was well worth it. 'Training' with Anko had yielded great results, while her shyness was still there she lost her hesitation. She refused to be weak and useless any longer.
"I said you would have to be completely topless for me to create the seals. What they will do is give you the ability to store a large percentage of unused chakra before you go to sleep. The maximum amount you can store is 10 times that of your normal amount. If you two are worried about me seeing you chest" he look to their chest area then said "I think you should worry about that in a few more years."
"If you want this ability I can do it now as it would take me a whole day to make them for all 3 of you. If not you can go home for the day, but remember you did say you want to become great shinobi." Stated the boy.
That was all it took to convince Ino. Her father told her that she would more than likely have about 10 times as much chakra as she does now by the time she was a Chuunin and if she could store 10 times that amount then it was well worth giving him a 'free show'. Sakura decided that she wasn't going to be left out.
Next Day
Now that the girls all had the seals and the reserves were filling up it was time to start an entire month of chakra control. First on the list of things to do? Tree Climbing!
"First thing you have to do is climb this tree with no hands." He was glad they didn't question him and was waiting for an explanation. "Focus chakra into your feet, then use it to stick to the surface of the tree and walk up. You girls should probably get a running start." Before he could tell them to mark there progress with kunai they had already took off running up their trees. He then found himself smiling at the results, one try and they were already at the top, all three of them. 'I expected Hinata would reach the top, being a Hyuuga, but I did not expect all 3 of them to be this good.'
"Ok, that went better than I expected, so follow me to the river." He said.
Once they were at the river he explained how to walk on water. "Now you have to release a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of your feet or any part of your body that's touching the water." Then he demonstrated it by standing on the water.
Again he was surprised at how fast most of them completed it. Sakura was wobbling at first and he suspected Hinata had done this before. Ino had fell into the water about 4 times before she got it.
After 30 minutes they all had it down perfectly and then Ino smirked and said. "I think this month is going to be a piece of cake!"
She ate those words as the rest of the month was filled with exorcises much more complicated than those two.
After that Ino had to catch falling leaves with her chakra, throw kunai by holding onto it with chakra only and then releasing, walking upside down on a ceiling carrying 80 pounds of weights, and release chakra from different parts of her body as if it was second nature.
Hinata had to learn to give constant large burst to chakra from her feet and hands and something that took her the rest of the month, making two 250 feet chakra string, attach them to a small stone and maintain the connection while sending burst of chakra through them.
First Sakura had to coat her finger with chakra and be able to dip it in the water without it getting wet, then a hand, next was her arm, and so on until she could dive under and come up dry. After that she had to compress the layer as thin as she could get it. After he had her coat the inside of her mouth, throat, and lungs, and breath out large amounts of chakra.
The girls could easily say that without the chakra provided by the seal they would never be able to do these things.
Last month of training
Now at the last month training was about to get interesting. The girls now had a lot of stamina, speed, and power, but little to no skill to make use of it. That will change this month.
While sitting on the ground with the girls across from him he grabbed a scroll from his vest and unrolled it. It contained items for all three of the girls. For Hinata a scroll and a pair of black and gold gloves, they were long enough to reach her elbow and had dull gold running across most of it sort of like a circuit.
For Ino there was a scroll and a ninja-to. The sword was all black except for the edge of the blade, which was white. Its sheath was completely black.
Sakura simply had a stack of 10 scrolls.
Now after they had gotten all of their things it was time to explain them. "Hinata, the nature of you chakra is lightning, meaning you will be able to convert your raw chakra in electricity. That takes a long time and I don't expect you to be able to just yet, but since I'm so great at Fuuin Jutsu, I've added seals to those gloves to do that for you, until you can do it yourself. There is also a small metal ball that will sit under you wrist and you're able to connect chakra string to that for long rang attacks. The gold in the gloves conducted electricity so that anyone touching or too close to your elbow down will get a nasty shock. Those combined with your Byakugan and Juken is a excellent combination." Naruto explain.
"Ino, your elemental affinity is wind, and if you channel you chakra into the sword it will convert it. Wind is the best element for offence because it cuts. The edge of you sword should be able to cut trough almost anything. I will also be teaching you some wind jutsu that I won't put on a scroll."
"Sakura, you didn't get a weapons because anyone who gets close enough for you to use one will probably be burned to death. With your fire element I'm going to have to put more seals on you that will help you output very high heat." He said.
"Skills like these takes years to master, but we don't have that kind of time so.." He then lifted his left hand in the air 3 chakra string shot out and entered a tenketsu of each girl. Once they were in her made several hand seals and performed Mikata Bunshin (ally bunshin, makes clones of other people but can only be controlled by their original.). Now the area they were in was filled with 100 clones for each, Sakura, Ino, and Hinata. 'When I complete this jutsu I will be able to control the clones. That would make interrogations, stealing jutsu, and other information gathering beyond easy. If Kakashi thinks I'm teaching him this he's crazy.' "Well girls, let the training begin."
