EDITED: Jan 27th, 2008
Re-doing all these chapters, and reading my really old, pathetic author notes makes me realize… I HAD A CRAZY LOAD OF SNOW DAYS LAST YEAR! xD
They're so convenient too! x) you just get a free day off because guys driving snow ploughs work too slowly.
Not that I mind though ;)
K, enough here. Happy readings!

Not so Weak Anymore
Chapter twelve
It's training time!
-
It was currently 9 in the morning on Saturday, a few days after training started. Ino was not satisfied.
All they had been doing was fitness training. Running, swimming, chakra control, Genjutsu training. Nothing really related to their powers. Akira and Daisuke had been getting a lot of training. In half an hour they were successfully able to climb the tree with chakra. What can you say? They were Uchiha. They already had two swirls in there Sharingan eyes so they were already at a good level. They even did the bell training. They were unsuccessful, but close enough. Akira had pretty good chakra control, while Daisuke was more into using jutsu's and such. he was a Naruto and Sasuke mix. He did a lot of shadow clone/substitution tricks, but was also big when it came to fire style jutsu's.
"UGH!"
Everyone turned around, and there, in the middle of the battle field sat Ino with an annoyed look on her face. Sakura walked up to Ino.
"What's wrong!?"
Ino stood up, and glared at Yugi and the boys, "All we've been doing is fitness training! We've begun training a week ago, but done nothing but fitness testing! I want to begin actually LEARNING my abilities!"
With a pouting look on her face, Sora had a smirk plastered on his, "red, you need to be in shape to use your powers. You can't expect to be able to use them right away. Why do you think Rin passed out so easily to those sound ninja that attacked her and the kids? She could have gone on longer if she didn't use her power. You need the right amount of stamina."
Ino argued back, "Well we were in good enough shape when we came here, and heck, were still in great shape! Please, can we start doing some actual training?"
Yugi sighed, not wanting to argue with the blond–uh, red head, "Alright, alright. Your all going to start one on one with one of the boys. They each possess their own elemental chakra. Mya, you and Ryo will train your water techniques by the water fall."
The two looked at each other and nodded, as they began heading towards the waterfall. Yugi then turned back to the group in front of him,
"Miki, your with Sora."
Ino's mouth dropped, "say what!?"
Sora began heading to a battle ground with his hands behind his head, "You heard him red, lets go!"
Ino began fuming, but kept her composure, "Fine."
Sakura and Tenten watched as those two walk away, with unsure looks on their faces, "Uh, should those two really be working together?"
Yugi smiled an old mans grin, "Of course they will! Plus, Sora wields the Lightning element Miki possesses, so they have to work together."
Shrugging, the two girls waited till they get matched up,
"Now, for you two…You two will have to work together in a few days. Rin, you can possess all elements, Viola, you possess the fire, wind and earth elements. When your ancestor died, she possessed both Earth and Wind elements together with her fire element. Kouji deal's with the Earth and wind elements, while Akito's specialty was fire elements. So for the next few days, Kouji, you will work with Viola, while Akito, you're with Rin. Later on, you'll swap partners to learn your other abilities."
Everyone nodded and was about to head off, when Daisuke spoke up, "What about me and Akira?"
Yugi shrugged, "Daisuke, go with Rin and Akito, while Akira, you go with Kouji and Viola. Go anywhere you wish."
-
The trio of Kouji, Tenten and Akira walked into an open field to train.
Kouji walked across the field while Tenten stood about twenty feet from him. Kouji pulled out a kunai, "before we do some proper training, I need to see what your capable of. We're having a quick sparing match."
Tenten grinned and pulled out a few scrolls from behind her, "sounds good to me!"
Kouji nodded, and got into a defensive position. Akira deciding not to get involved sat down under a tree and watched the match.
"You ready?"
Tenten smirked, "Ready as I'll ever be."
With that being the signal to start, Tenten ran around Kouji, as Kouji stayed clam. Tenten then jumped in the air with her scrolls. Unraveling her scrolls, She then started firing weapons. Kouji smirked and waved his hand. A gust of wind came from his hand, knocking all of the weapons out of the air.
Tenten snarled, "Just like during the chunnin exams with Temari…"
Tenten continued firing weapons at Kouji, but continued to use his wind attacks to deflect the weapons away. Annoyed, Tenten pulled out two scrolls and performed hand signs.
"Soushouryo!"
two dragons of smoke appeared and tangled together as they headed to the sky. Tenten then jumped up and kunai appeared as well as many other weapons. Again, she sent all of them flying towards Kouji, but he simply deflected them all, not even breaking a sweat.
"You'll need to do better then that." He mocked her.
She started getting angry. She landed on the ground, and power ran through her veins.
'Time to show this guy what I can really do.'
-
Walking towards their destination, Hinata admired the beauty of the large waterfall. The falls had to be at least a hundred feet high. The river below was only a few feet deep, but had sharp rocks all over
Ryo headed to the waters edge, followed by Hinata, "To start off, you need to be able to use water jutsu's. Without them, you won't be able to use your water techniques to there full potential."
Hinata nodded. Ryo put his hands over the water in the river, "This is a simple technique to start off with. By just putting your hand over the water, you need to make a big ripple."
He put his hand over the water and focused his chakra on one spot in the water. A very wide ripple appeared.
"Okay, now you try. Focus your chakra on one place in the water." Hinata nodded, as she placed her hand over the water. She focused her chakra onto the water.
A few seconds went by.
1..
2..
3..
Nothing happened. Hinata was red in the face. She started doubting herself. She was never going to be able to show Naruto how strong she was. She couldn't do a simple exercise! She was getting mad at herself.
'I can do this! For Naruto!'
Power ran through her veins. She focused the power onto the water.
1..
2..
3..
BOOM!
Instead of causing a ripple, Hinata caused the water to spring up, causing a little shower on them. Ryo stood there totally dumbfounded.
"Wow…That was amazing for your first time."
Hinata began to blush at that compliment. She wasn't too used to hearing compliments.
Ryo smirked, "I say we start doing more advance water techniques…"
-
Glare.
GLAREGLARE.
Glare.
Twitch.
"Alright, enough of this!" Sora yelled sitting up. Ino smirked, "I win!"
"You won nothing! that was the most pointless ten minutes of my life! We're here to train, not to have a staring contest!"
Ino knew he was right. Sighing, she sat up, "Fine! Where do we start!?"
Sora looked at the sun, calculating its placement, he could tell the time, "Well, with your stupid glaring contest, we've wasted more of the training day. We–"
"Oh, so this is my fault then!?"
Sora shrugged lazily, "Yeah, pretty much."
Ino clenched her fists and she could feel electric charges in her hand. Sora was off looking in the distance crossing his arms. Ino took this as an opportunity and ran full speed at Sora.
"You Jerk!"
Ino's hand began emitting an electrical charge, much like the Chidori, but somehow still different. Sora feeling this immense power moved back just in time before Ino could have touched him. Sora smirked,
"Alright, let's get started then."
-
"… and that's what you need to know. Now let's get started."
Sakura and Daisuke nodded as they sat up. Akito had been explaining how the training was going to start training Sakura. Daisuke would also get some training in later.
"Okay, well I don't know where you're at in your training, so let's have a quick sparing match. Then I'll know where to start."
Akito got into a fighting position. Sakura followed his lead and got into a defensive posture. Daisuke sat this out and watched. He counted down,
"Okay, you two ready?"
Akito and Sakura nodded.
"Three, Two, One, GO!"
Sakura ran full speed at Akito and made two shadow clones. They ran at Akito swiftly. Akito was assisting the situation.
Sakura did the same stunt she pulled on Ino during the chunnin exams, but it wasn't all the same.
The 3 Sakura's ran at Akito at top speed. The first two disappeared right in his face. Sakura then went in for the punch, but Akito caught her punch.
"That's not going to work on me." He said with a smirk on his face. Sakura smirked as well.
"phff, I didn't mean for it to." She said. A POOF noise was made and the Sakura that tried to punch him disappeared.
The real Sakura came at lighting speed behind Akito going in for the kick. It was a direct hit.
POOF!
Shadow clone.
Sakura stood there looking around, trying to find Akito. He wasn't anywhere to be seen.
So there was one other place left
Punching the ground, everything crumbled and a huge creator was created. Daisuke had to get up from his spot and move somewhere else. The little Uchiha was surprised by her power.
"Holy…"
Daisuke would hate to be the one being punched by Sakura at any point in his life.
Akito jumped out of the ground with a surprised look on his face. She had made that look so easy!
He was in for a good sparing match.
-
After a good day of training and sparing, Sakura, Ino, Tenten and Hinata were lying down on the grass panting heavily. Akito, Sora, Ryo and Kouji were drinking some water, while Akira and Daisuke were practicing their aim, throwing kunai at a target.
Yugi appeared out of the ruff with a smile on his face, "Well I see training went well."
The girls nodded with little energy they had. Yugi clapped his hands together, "At this rate, you girls should be done training in 6 months!"
A chorus of very weak 'yays' came from the three girls mouths.
"Kenji comes in ten months, so you'll have four months to do the mission." He said. Hinata raised an eyebrow.
"What mission?"
Yugi pulled out a map of all 5 countries.
"Like I just said, Kenji comes in ten months. He's joining up with Orochimaru and his sound gang and Konoha doesn't know. They can't know at the time, because they will start panicking. During the 4 months, you girls, along with the Uchiha's and at times, the boys, will go around to each country and convince the leaders to join us in battle. This will be in secret though, so even Konoha won't know of the alliances it has made. Rin, you being the Hokage's apprentice, you should be able to negotiate."
Sakura nodded in agreement.
Yugi then pointed to a new location on the map, "Once you talk to all the leaders of each country, and form alliances, come to this village."
The girls loomed in on the map, looking at the little place Yugi had encircled on the map.
"Where is that?" Tenten asked curiously. Yugi smiled.
"It's the village the Tenshi clan originally resided in: the village of light. It was a village well known because of the Tenshi clan, but also, because of the people. They were some of the nicest and most caring people around. Currently, the village is still living up to the name, but it is not as powerful as it used to be. There are almost no Tenshi clan members anymore, and most people living in the village are just people trying to get a life going. But there are a lot of people in the village that pray that one day, the Tenshi clan will come back and restore the village to its true beauty. It all comes down to you four girls. Do you think you can handle it?"
All the girls looked at each other. It was a tall order. Safe the world from Orochimaru and Kenji, return the light village to its former glory.
"I-I don't t-think I can do it."
Everyone turned to Hinata in surprise.
"Mya…" all three girls said to the Hyuuga in unison.
"I-I was supposed to be an Heiress to the Hyuuga clan. I-I-I-I–" she couldn't finish her sentence. She was a loss for words.
She wanted to cry, but sucked it up. she looked at the ground in shame. Ino, Sakura and Tenten could understand where she was coming from. All three girls hugged Hinata. Tenten spoke up.
"Mya, none of us really want to go through with this, but we need to. No one said we had to do this, but we decided too. I mean, we need to keep everyone important to us safe. I know its hard Mya, but we can do it."
"Yeah Mya, were all in this together!" Ino said punching the air. Hinata smiled.
"Yeah Mya, and we all know you want to keep the baka safe. In ten months time, he'll probably be so happy to see you again. Please Mya, I know you can do it." Sakura said winking at Hinata and the Naruto part. Hinata blushed and smiled.
They were right.
"Arigatou." She said smiling.
"GROUP HUG!" Ino said hugging the day lights out of the three girls. Sakura, Tenten and Ino were turning blue.
"Ahh, Miki!" Sakura said trying to breathe. Ino finally clued in to what she was doing and released them. The three girls started breathing heavily. Ino scratched the back of her head, "hehe.. sorry"
Sora went and ruffled Ino's hair, " Jeez red, you're a monster. You almost killed them."
Ino started fuming, "ARGH! SORA!" she started chasing him. Everyone else sweat dropped. Yugi sighed.
"This is going to be a long 6 months."
-
Mmhmm, not my best work. FILLER! xD
Instead of focusing on the romance in this story, it's more of the girl's relationships with each other. Their friendship with one another, and how it's growing. I took out most of the shameless lovey moments, cause it ruins it. Bah!
Yerh! I swear, this is exam week, and I'm re-writing this whole fic? xD
Ahh, that's just how I roll. ;P
Review, yeah?
