Chapter 6-Pervy Sage

I was disoriented to say the least. Being thrown into a wall head first hurt like a bitch. I somehow managed to stay conscious and stood up only to be thrown in the air by the sand the red head was controlling. I felt the fear rush through me and I acted through instincts, instincts I had no idea I possessed.

I had defied Kakashi and the Hokage in that moment. Summoning the wood to do my bidding, with everyone watching, I know that it was stupid but I had felt that cowardly fear of death creeping upon my mind.

The wood somehow managed to work for me without the horrid fatigue I always felt and raced towards the next incoming wave of sand that was most likely going to rip me limb from limb.

I had smacked Gaara with the wall of wood, it had sent him tumbling to the other end of the arena and he laid still. I thought he was unconscious but he had started screaming and his sand rose up to form a cocoon around him.

I knew I had screwed up as I heard the gasps around the room as the wood I now controlled once again shot towards Gaara in the form of pellets, just like the earth pellets jutsu I had a feeling these would cause the same damage.

I didn't really know what I was doing in that moment, thinking back that my instincts had taken over completely and my thought was to survive and kill the target. I moved without actually being there, feeling like I had been watching a show. I vaguely remember Kakashi and his rival Guy standing in front of me stopping the attack and our fight had been stopped with the proctor Hayate stating it a draw, we would both be advancing.

I remember almost attacking Kakashi thinking he was my new target and being knocked out by Guy who had stepped up behind me. And then the world turned black and I was unconscious.

I had woken to a white ceiling, a familiar one at that. The hospital I had woken up in the hospital once again, the only difference was the blond hair sticking out of the blanket in a small chair next to my bed, and the white haired man wearing a mask snoozing with a porn book on his face.

I recall it taking a few minutes to remember their names. I mean I had been thrown into a wall and the floor. But at that moment I couldn't exactly remember what had happened after that.

But my thoughts had been interrupted when Kakashi shifted and his book fell to the floor and the noise woke him with a start. But Naruto kept snoozing under the blanket, oblivious to the world around him.

Kakashi turned his sleepy gaze to me and widened his visible eye slightly when I rose from the hospital bed and stumbled over to him and lobbed myself into his arms crying saying I couldn't remember what I had done but I knew it was bad.

I remember the warmth of his arms and they had made me feel better. I was terrified of what I had done, something I didn't remember, but the comfort he provided without speech helped me more than I could ever imagine. I pulled away from his huge and smiled through my tears thinking "Woah he's warm" I watched his eye watching me as I stood up and walked over to Naruto ruffling his hair watching him stand up in hurry and then collapse to the ground with a dizzy spell.

Ah those two definitely made me feel better, Naruto with his quirkiness and Kakashi who made me feel cared for. I was pretty glad I had friends who cared for me. I had sat back down on the bed and listened to Naruto recount the details of my fight and who I would be fighting in the finals in exactly one month time. Shino Aburame, a student I had graduated the academy with, he was nice enough and I felt fear race through me once again. What if I went berserk again, exactly like what Naruto told me, I didn't want to maim a nice person I knew on a slightly personal note?

Awkwardly I had felt a strong need to throw myself in Kakashi's arms once more, and oh I threw myself in his arms watching Naruto gap like a fish as I started spouting on about how scared I was that I would go crazy again, and I held onto Kakashi like a cat with claws hanging onto a pole. Now let me tell you I must have looked real dumb as I was almost Kakashi's height, 16, and I was acting like a scared baby. But Kakashi and Naruto said nothing as I blubbered on, well Naruto said that I was acting dumb and that I wasn't crazy just fighting for my life. I wish that at that point in time I knew about Naruto's demons the literal one and the not so literal ones, just so I could comfort him when the time came.

I had been released from the hospital in hours, apparently I only had slight bruised ribs so I was free to start training for the final exam. Kakashi had skittered away after I attacked him with my sloppy tears and hug stating Ebisu would be Naruto's sensei for the exam and that I was alone to find my own sensei as he was to be training Sasuke for the month in some secret technique, aka the chidori, that ass totally favored Sasuke over the rest of us I just knew it.

I had ditched Naruto behind after he started complaining about his sensei and found Sakura and Ino enjoying lunch so I decided to join them, team bonding and creating friends had been on my mind. I enjoyed a brisk lunch choosing to just listen as whenever I tried to talk Ino seemed to freeze up thus Sakura froze as well.

They were scared of me I knew it, I had killed someone and managed to survive against a ruthless Genin who had ruined Lee's chance of become a ninja just moments before my own match. I was a monster and they all knew it, hell I'm surprised Kakashi had even allowed me within five feet of him.

My thoughts had drifted as I walked towards the hot springs, I needed to get away from the people I had acquainted myself with, seeing their faces had made me upset.

I hadn't even stepped into the water when I heard a voice that sounded suspiciously like Naruto. Listening closely I could hear him shouting at someone saying "Your just a huge pervert, believe it!" and with that I had abandoned the warm water that was calling my name and walked towards Naruto's voice. Peering around the corner I found the knuckleheaded blonde and a tall older man that had long spikey white hair.

I hadn't meant to make myself known but when Naruto shouted "You were looking at my friend in the hot springs." I walked out and said "Excuse me you were looking at who?" Now let me remind you I was dressed in a bathing suit and a towel and Mr. Pervert was staring at me with a nosebleed while Naruto was shouting at him to look away. But Mr. Pervert kept on staring and then it dawned on me that I was half naked and my face turned red and I ran off to the changing rooms to put my clothes on.

I had walked back out to see Naruto still blabbing to the pervert now asking him to be his sensei. I had shaken my head walking towards them once more "Naruto thank you for protecting me, but why do you want such a pervert to be your sensei?" Naruto had stared at me for a moment pointing to the unconscious Ebisu laying on the ground

"This pervert knocked him out and now he has to be my sensei so I can beat Neji!" I had to laugh at the thought of what had happened before I showed up.

The pervert watching women in the bath and Ebisu along with Naruto show up and Mr. Pervert knocking him out. My laugh had caught the attention of Mr. Pervert and he had stated with a pervy grin.

"Well kid I would gladly train you if your pretty friend here helps out."

Naruto was about to agree for me when I yelled "Hell No! No way in hell are you using me to get what you want Naruto find someone else! I have to find a sensei that will show me how to…" I had broken off my speech thinking back to the way Sakura and Ino had stared at me when I tried to speak.

The fear of me, and with that I had frowned at Naruto and stalked off to my apartment thinking 'Shit, what am I gonna do. No one is going to want to train a monster like me' that was when my thoughts had turned pretty dark.

I kind of stayed in my room for a few days, leaving only for food before thinking 'No screw this, I feel like that pervert knows something about what's going on. He just showed up out of nowhere and if he is that big of a perv there is no way he would easily get caught like that. That man is up to something and I will find out what it is. And on the plus side maybe he can help me control that weird state I go into when I am afraid or in danger."

And with that I was walking down the street looking for a sign of the blonde knucklehead and that pervert. It had taken me longer than I had hoped to find them but when I did I was welcomed with a bizarre sight of a shirtless unconscious Naruto and the pervert standing over him. "I knew it" I had yelled before taking off towards the pervert thinking I was saving Naruto from…Something…Ehem.

But Naruto had regained consciousness yelling "wait Fei don't kill Pervy sage, he was helping me believe it!" I had spazzed out yelling "Naruto what the hell he was standing over you really creepily and, and I thought you were hurt!" My eyes had been pretty wide and Naruto was slightly scared as tears had formed in my eyes and Pervy man was scooting away from me. I-I'm sorry Naruto your one of my best friends I-I don't know what I would do without your knuckle headedness on team Kakashi"

Naruto had quickly stumbled over to me pulling me in for a hug as Pervy man sat back and watched waiting for this heartwarming moment to be over. Okay no he didn't actually wait very long 20 seconds at most and he was telling Naruto to stand on the water.

I watched in awe tears drying as Naruto quickly got up and stood on the water for a second before falling in "Hey Pervy Sage I actually did it" he was beaming and 'Pervy Sage' said once you can manage longer you can leave. Man Naruto was deflated in seconds and he stood up to try again.

Meanwhile I had turned to the pervy man. "What's your name?" I had questioned 'Jiraiya the toad sage" My eyes had widened at that "Woah, woah wait Jiraiya as in the Jiraiya the person who write the Make out books?" Jiraiya had obviously not expected me to know him through that means as his nose leaked blood once again as he most likely had thought about me reading them.

When I had realized this I had shook my head yelling "No, no not me not me Naruto and I's sensei reads them! He literally doesn't go anywhere without bringing them along!" He had this look of disappointment when I said that I felt bad so I stated "Okay, they look interesting Pervy sage but I'm really not old enough to read them, and our sensei won't let them out of his sight so, maybe in 2 years when I'm 18 I'll read them!" He had looked happy before he realized I had said 'Pervy Sage' "No, not you too!" he withered to the ground.

I had laughed before becoming serious once more "Jiraiya, do you think you could train me too, I'm as bad as Naruto is most of them time but I do have a bit of a weird power." I knew I had peaked his interest as he jestured for me to go on.

I felt like I could trust him with this information as I saw he didn't have the hatred in his heart many shinobi had so they could use everything they learned for their advantage. I could tell he honestly wanted to help with Naruto so I told him all about the Wood Jutsu I could use and what happened when I was afraid and in danger. I could tell by the look on his face that he knew what I was talking about but was shocked to hear it. I had asked him but he refused to say anything except "Focus your chakra into your feet but make sure its fluctuating the water moves so move with it"

I knew I would get no answers so I went and stood next to the shaky Naruto who was cold but held the determination to keep trying. We trained for hours and by the end of the day me and Naruto held the ability to walk on water.

Naruto had passed out the night before due to chakra exhaustion and I had been feeling pretty woozy so I stumbled to my apartment finding Kakashi sitting in front of my door.

Okay no that isn't true I didn't actually see him and I tripped right over him and within seconds my fuzzy mind shut down and I was sleeping on Kakashi. No I do not actually remember all of this just the tripping over Kakashi but oh he made it known that I fell asleep on him and he had to carry me into my room and put me to sleep.

What happened next was due to my sleepy mind. Kakashi had told me that I had refused to let go of his arm and thus the gray haired porn reader was laying in my bed with me cuddling him seeking his warmth in the cold room. I mean really Kakashi you are a grown man who was ten times stronger then me back then you could have easily slipped out and left but noooo, you decide to sleep in a 16 year olds bed.

So yes when I woke up to see his masked face inches away I freaked kicked him in the back and listened to the rough snort of pain as his ass met the hardwood floor.

"Fuck Kakashi what the hell" I had mumbled before falling back to sleep. I didn't get far into my attempt at sleep before I had realized Kakashi had been in my bed and I flew up peeking over the edge to see the white haired man sleeping on the floor.

"Kakashi! WHAT THE HELL MAN" I had screamed and he jolted up smiling "Morning Fei, I came over last night to see if you found a sensei but you tripped and passed out" I snarled at him then "SO YOU THOUGHT IT BEST TO STAY IN MY BED" that was when the smile disappeared and he stated

"You wouldn't let me leave, Sasuke is probably waiting for me so I should go" and he was gone and I was left raging.

When I met up with Naruto and Jiraiya I was a little less steamed. Today was summoning jutsu practice. Yea this was one of the easiest jutsu's I had performed. I don't really know why it was so easy but as soon as I had sealed the jutsu marking with my blood yelling "Summoning jutsu" in sync with Naruto a little puff ball of a puppy stood in front of me while Naruto summoned a tiny tadpole.

My summon had spoken to me "Hello mistress I am Kuroki what can I do to help thee." I had almost passed out from the utter cuteness this little puppy provided before he growled at me "Mistress please refrain from thinking I am cute I assure you I am in training to be a top guard dog!" My eyes had widened at that 'this dog read my thoughts what the hell' "I'm sorry Kuroki" and with that my summon poofed away at my will.

Naruto had stared in shock before yelling "Ah Fei you, I will summon something huge before you believe it! Whoever summons the largest toad or dog buys dinner!" and thus began our race. Jiraiya watched with a laugh as I summoned larger and larger dogs and Naruto couldn't go past the tiny tadpole.

The sun had begun to set and me and Naruto were tied a dog the size of a small building named Sina stood in front of me with a slight grin. I had thought with my own grin 'my summons are the best I seem to get along great with them, Naruto is trapped with stuck up toads'

I guess Jiraiya was pretty tired with our shenanigans so he decided to try something else. Pushing us off a cliff. Yep you read that right, he shoved me and Naruto over a cliff shouting "Summon or else you die" I have to say I froze I froze like a popsicle in ice and Naruto just got better and by the time I was half way from the bottom I knew I had to save us. That must have been Naruto's thoughts as well because we had both yelled "Summoning Jutsu!" and we were met with a giant orange toad and a giant black dog.

It was rather funny with the way they seemed to know each other. My summon. Hotara the king of hounds and Naruto's, Gammabunta king of toads. We had shouted in excitement as we leaped down from their head and they proofed away with a yell that they needed to find Jiraiya.

Naruto and I had immediately passed out after they left and my last thought was 'Chunin finals tomorrow'
