I smirked at the shocked expression of my twin when she saw the small boy lying in my guest room. Her short, wavy blonde hair swirling in the warm wind as her gentle curved lips fell agape. The boy in question had curved body over the light blue pillow and rested his head on the wooden floor causing his blonde hair to spread out on the light wood like a halo. His mouth slightly open and few grunts and snorts would escape on occasion.

"B-b-but your horrible with people." She shrieked and I glared unhappily at the near copy of myself. She looked so much like me it was astonishing. We both had the same light tan skin darkened from weeks of training and missions with sensuous curved lips that often fell into smirks with willful expressions. We were tall reaching five feet seven inches with toned muscles and slightly curvy figure. While my hair was long and ratty hers was short and silky reaching her shoulders with the same golden strands. The tresses of blonde wear more wavy then my own, but it was the not the hair that was the most different of us both it was the eyes. While my right was a dark and deceiving violet that seemed to brighten in the moonlight and left a milky white hers were smoky purple. They were slanted and hooded by thick lashes coated with makeup to cause the extra volume giving her a cat like slant.

"I am not that bad plus it was the kids choice not mine." I growled and crossed my tan arms over my chest feeling the shirt I had worn to bed rise to reveal my many scars. These were a pale silver that clung to my skin like spider webs causing a disturbance in the near perfect tan.

"Says the girl who flipped out when your own sister asked to move in with you. I remember telling me that you hated it when people get into your life." She snapped angrily as we walked from the room leaving Naruto to awake on his own. We entered my simple kitchen I nearly bite my sister's head off while she continued to glare at me.

"I didn't want you to rely on me that am all and I called you here for a reason not just so you can pick at me." I stormed and reached into refrigerator with a little more vigor than necessary. I loved my sister dearly, but sometimes I wanted nothing more than to kick the medic ninja from my house. "I need you to heal Naruto."

"Oh, what happened?" She gasped slightly and I sighed as I was used to her mood swings. My fist became taut as the bread held in my grasp was slowly mashed together as the memories of his injuries looked like not to mention the lost look in his eyes. My eyes darkened and I knew from the way my sisters breathing slowed down that she was going to try and calm me down. "I am Kiyoshi sorry for snapping earlier. It's just that you always turned me away that I can't figure out what so special about the kid. It makes me extremely jealous and I just want to rip you apart."

"I know that's why I am not that upset. And for your information I didn't take the kid in for no reason. He is the host of the demon that attacked a few years ago and was nearly killed yesterday because of it. Then I got suckered into doing it by the Hokage so doesn't feel left out." I sighed and raked a hand through my knots trying to calm my nerves and not throttle my sister.

"Hmmm." She murmured and danced by me turning back to her usual cheerful self. That's the biggest difference between us: she is cheerful and I am not. She is all about rainbows and ponies, but I am just sarcastic and cruel. The only time are personalities seem even remotely similar is when I manage to anger her. It was something I tried to avoid seeing as she liked the verbally assault me; however I am the only one she ever gets mad at so everyone else just thinks she is kind and happy. "Guess that's okay. What you making."

"Eggs and toast." I answered through a yawn as I threw the ingredients onto the counter tops before pulling a black pan from the wooden cupboards. I set it neatly on the stove and yanked on the gas before reaching my hand out for the butter I knew would be placed there. In seconds the cool stick of fat was placed into my calloused palm as I quickly brought out a knife to cut the yellow stick into server pieces.

"So how was your day yesterday?" Ayama asked before bringing out another pan to get the eggs started. Her slender hands scrambled the eggs with ease by whipping them with a whisk found in one of my draws.

"Well I practically adopted Naruto before the afternoon and got him some new clothes since all his belongings were blasted apart in the explosion." I sighed and dumped half the butter into the warm pain before adding white piece of bread. My sister just flipped her first omelet which seemed to have half a pound of cheese poured into it.

"Oh, I know about that. I had like twenty people come into the hospital yesterday with some severe burns. It took us nearly two hours just to get them to quiet down since none were really that extensive. I have never seen so many people freaked. It was annoying."

"I can see it now." I sighed and turned to give her a bright smile before we both sat down to eat. My chopsticks moving like deadly weapons as I speared the scrumptious eggs and gobbled them down with ease. It was then that the kid decided to wake up and move nearly soundlessly through our house. His mop of blonde hair covered one of the worst bruises while his eyes darted from me to my sister.

"Good morning Kid. This is my sister Ayama. She's staying for breakfast and then going to heal you so we can get started on training."

The wind swirled in my hair that been once more tied back to allow freedom of sight while I trained the excited youth practically bouncing at my hip. The sweet smell of fresh flowers and the aroma of old rain wafted through air as we walked into the center of the field. It was large and spacious practically perfect to practice in and meditate with the serene quiet that was so rarely interrupted. It was a wheat field left alone for years so that wild flowers had sprung up in between the golden stalks causing the sunny paradise to be dotted by a constant rainbow. It was enclosed by hundreds of trees on all sides while a small river ran through turning the golden grass into lush green sprouts.

"Tell me what you know about chakra." I demanded and spun around to see a startled Naruto. His bright blue eyes looked up as he only reached my chest while his hands played nervously with the hem of his shirt. I understood that his grades were not the best and that he barley applied himself in school from the depth his eyes shone. If he would try I knew that he would easily be able to become rookie of the year.

"It flows through are body and enables us to use Jutsu." He supplied inadequately as I sighed in defeat. He looked up as if expecting help as I shifted my weight while trying to supply what I wanted to be conveyed. It was so very simple and should have been one of the first things he should have learned, but by the way the he had been treated by the villagers I could only guess that the treatment that his was given at the school wasn't much better.

"Chakra is made up of two energies that flow through your body: psychical and spiritual. The psychical energy flows through every cell in your body while spiritual is gained over long periods of time by enduring exercise and experience. We ninjas combine the two energies to create chakra which flows through are body using the chakra network.

We then manipulate the chakra by using hand signs or seals. There are twelve basic signs which you were taught in the academy. Using these signs we can exploit the use of Jutsu in four base areas: Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and Healing Jutsu. Each requires control and discipline. So today were going to work on the first step of learning to use are chakra: brining out the chakra. Do you understand?" I asked with ease and although the reports I had gotten on Naruto said he was simple minded, I had a feeling that he was actually on par with some of the most brilliant Leaf Village ninja's. From the thoughtful look he was giving me he was contemplating every little word I said and copying it in his memory.

"Yep, it seems simple enough." He said with a bright grin before looking up at me for the next task. I knew with his wild and untamed chakra he would need a lot of practice, but if we could tame it then he would have as much Chakra as a Kage.

"First I want you breathe. Feel the muscles in your body tense and relax with the simple motion and follow the flow of energy as it fills your body. Breathing is one of the simplest techniques to learn control because it is natural and causes a flow in energy. As you breathe I want you to focus the energy you feel into your stomach and release it out into the world. Once you have done that we will move on." I said and he nodded before taking a seat on one of the many boulders hidden by the grass.

I took my seat across from him and crossed my legs with ease so I was sitting once more. My knees were bent on either side with my hands resting gently in my lap. Usually I would rest my blade across the appendages, but today I had left it at home. My breathing began to level out as I felt my heart beat the rhythm of nature. After a few minutes the voices and mutters of the world filled my ear as they spilled from the trees and grass. A grass hopper playing its tune, a sparrow searching for friends, the hum of bee's scavenging for food and the constant breath in tuned to my own of the young boy across from me.

I opened my multi-color eyes and watched with curiosity as the boys breath leveled out and features always filled with false joy and guarded emotions seemed to melt away. The mask removed itself as the true expression of Naruto Uzimake came forth. His mouth didn't grow taut nor fill with a too bright smile instead it shape softened and grew almost placid. His chest rose with every breath as he became one with the energy inside him.

Slowly a bubble of shimmering light spilled around his stomach like the flicker of candle. I watched with amazement as his stomach began to glow with the intense energy he was calling forth. It was the lightest shade of blue as it evolved into darker and more intense shades. It was truly memorizing to watch as his hands seemed to cup the glowing sphere before his eyes flickered open and mouth feel into a small smile as he played with power.

"Amazing." I whispered in near shock, but then again he had so much more raw talent than I had and I had taught myself. He had mastered the first technique in less than an hour which had taken me nearly a day and a half to accomplish. He was truly something else.

"This is so awesome." He yelled happily as his chakra slowly died away before his eyes flickered to my own. I smirked at him and he returned the favor before arching his back causing the muscles to tense and crack to resound through the plain. He sighed at the feeling before hunching into himself.

"You're good Naruto. Time to move onto the next exercise." I nearly laughed my ass off when he looked shock that there was more learn. I shook my head at his childish behavior. "This exercise is will test your concentration and will use your found chakra." I smiled brightly before standing and stretching. Naruto was about to join me, but shook my head no and created the Ram sign with my fingers. A swirl of wind was all that was left as I used the burst of speed to bring my being to the edge of the clearing. I grabbed a couple of leaves from the ground and repeated the action.

"Wow, how did you do that?" Naruto exclaimed in amazement as I once more appeared in front of him. His finger was pointed accusingly at me as his eyes widened with shock.

"It's a type of Jutsu. I'll teach it to you later first we got to keep practicing." I said with another smirk adorning my face before handing Naruto the leaf. He frowned and began to search for what made the green organ to special. It was nothing strange about the leaf and I had a near matching one in my own hands. "The object of this is to use your Chakra to focus on the leaf that will be settled on your forehead. You must make it stay there for as long as possible. After you have succeeded come to the house for water."

"Wait cant you show me how to do it." He called out as I was leaving. I smiled brightly and placed the green plant to my forehead. I sent a steady stream of Chakra to the organ and watched with satisfaction as it stuck easily to my skin. I tossed my head back and forth yet the leaf refused to budge. "Thanks Kiy-senpai."

I sat at the old oak table contemplating how living with Naruto was going to work. I knew we would spend plenty of time training, but he was still a child and needed more than just intense ninja work to fill his days. Perhaps I could take him to the festival in a couple of weeks or to the hospital to help out with my sister. Even just going to park for a few hours would be better than being cooped up with me.

Besides getting him out of the house I had to decide how I'm going to train the kid. Obviously hours of Chakra control and Taijutsu would needed to be started, but I would need to decide on what time and what days or perhaps just a simple training lessons. It was nearly too much for my seventeen year old brain to control.

I was too young to train someone when I barley was out of training myself. Was it selfish to want my own space and own time to train by myself. I would be able to train when he went to school, but he had three months of free time that going to be spent with me and training.

"I'm back," called out the ecstatic voice from the bright grin of Naruto that seemed true. His arms were crossed behind his head and he was walking with a proud aura practically oozing from his pores. A cocky grin covered his face when he produced the leaf from his pocket and it stuck easily to his forehead.

"Good job. Guess we can move one." I said with a shrug knowing better than to boast his attitude. I stood and tossed me hair over my shoulder and walked past the kid, but not before gripping the back of his shirt in a single fist and yanking the child back.

"Were moving on to Taijutsu which we will do every day until you have mastered your technique." I said with a smirk and all, but skipped outside. Naruto stumbled behind me with my unbreakable grip on the back of his collar. I just hoped he was getting enough oxygen. "What do you know about Taijutsu?"

"It's a ninja's version of hand to hand combat. It can use Chakra and there are different styles. "He answered sounding surer of his answer than his on the new subject then chakra. "It takes a long time to build up the muscles and discipline to fight using Taijutsu and most academy students aren't skilled enough to fight using Taijutus."

"True, most academy students can't. It's not because they are incapable, but because their lazy. If you work hard enough you will gain both endurance and experience and will be able to continue when others are exhausted. If you work hard enough that is." He nodded enthusiastically and I chuckled with sadistic humor because I knew that he wouldn't stand a chance averagely.

"Every day we will wake up and do a warm up which involves hundred sit ups, fifty pushups, stretches, warm ups including jumping jacks, and a brisk sprint around the village." I said and he nodded in understanding. "After we will have breakfast and then Chakra training. Only after you have finished your training for the day will we continue on whatever punches and kicks I wish you to. The work will be grueling, but you do get one day off."

Lazily I walked from the house into the yard were a practice log had been set in place by my own hands. It was a simple piece of that sprang from the ground and could be used for anything be that Taijutsu or kunai practice. He followed behind eagerly reminding me of a little lost puppy and I guess that was what he is. My little lost puppy. I grabbed the log and let the boy go before walking toward the clearing.

We arrived in the clearing quickly and I got him to work. After we both ran around the field several times we began what I call a simple warm up. Lots of pushups, sit ups, jumping jacks, and stretches were included in the training before I even attempted to move on, but I knew better than to just let him get off easy.

"Let's move on." I said with a bright smirk before stretching both my arms before placing the large log in front of him. He looked between the two in surprise and tried to figure out what I wanted him to do with it. "Before we even consider complicated moves were going to focus on your body and readiness. To do this we are going to work on building both gaining some callous and strength. These are both important because with even the fanciest trick in the book without the back it up you will only hurt yourself. Having some calluses is important so that you can stop and block certain wounds and can even level the pain a punch can cause." I told him in my matter of fact tone and he nodded in some satisfaction. "Also we need to start working on your flexibility and acrobats, but that can wait for tomorrow. Today was going to work on falling."

I watched with sadistic satisfaction as he gulped at my words because of one certain four letter word that had him sweating up a storm: fall. To fall was not something he would enjoy and would not be fun, but would keep him alive. To be able to fall from great heights was the job of a ninja, but it was the idea of being weak that truly terrified the kid. Who wanted to fall to their enemy especially if they were trying to kill you.

We spent the next hour fighting each other which ended with Naruto's ass hitting the ground hard or trying as I told him to hit his palms across the ground and catch your body. By the end we were both sweating and getting a healthy workout much to my enjoyment. I knew for a fact that he would be sore and bruised tomorrow while I would be refreshed and happy. I couldn't wait for how sore he would be and how much fun it would be to tease him.

After much falling and bruising work we moved onto kicks and punches using both the academy style and my own more intense style. We practiced jumping and kicking with fluidity and both laughed when he managed to fall on his ass we a surprised and pained expression on his face.

"You're not so bad, Kid." I gasped out while sweat dripped into my brow and caused rivets of liquid to spill from down my body. It cooled my heated skin from four hours of practicing which even caused me to tire. Even if his skills were unrefined and blunt he was strong and had much more endurance than I expected. When I asked he shrugged and said it came with fighting off all the villagers. He had enough speed to nearly match a Chunnin and strength to match a new Jounin which shocked me enough to let him give me a powerful punch to my jaw.

Unlike Ninjutsu and Chakra he seemed to know what he was doing when came to punching and kicking; however he didn't seem to able to use more acrobats in his fighting or complex moves. I decided that was what we were going to focus on for the next month.

"Alright before dinner let's start with you are with your full body." I said with while tossing my hair free to the wind causing Naruto to get smacked by the newly knotted threads like a whip. I knew it hurt from experience from smacking myself with the tuff strings of blonde.

"Huh what do you mean?" he asked slightly confused as he watched me wearily as I stretched my limbs so I was more limber to do the number of flips I had planned. In my eyes he wasn't nearly good enough to fight with other ninja due to his inexperience and uncertainty.

"Flips." I shrugged at his shocked expression before continuing. "The use of flips and certain jumps can save a Ninja's life and be incorporated into fighting. I personally use my jumps in everything I do so I thought I would teach my style of fighting." He seemed unsure for a second before nodding his head.

We spent the next hour flipping, doing back handsprings and cart wheeling all over the field until we were both panting with exhaustion. Sweat dribbled down are backs and soaked are clothing as we finished up before we both decided on taking a breather and sitting under one of the larger trees scattered among the edges of the clearing.

It was large and old with mangled branches that reached to sky with unexpressed want and need. Its large thick roots sprung from the ground forming a safe haven for the trunk from most. Its dark green leaves shone like emerald in the dying light of the sun as each vain could be seen from the near see through skin.

Naruto and I both sat at the base of ancient plant and rested are tired and worn bodies on its back. The comforting sounds of the wild surrounded us as peace and serenity created a tranquil sense. It wasn't long until I noticed Naruto eyes fluttered down for the last time and his breath became even and low.

"What a strong boy you are." I whispered before standing up and placing the child on my back. His loose arms wrapped slightly around my neck as my hands held the unconscious boy in place. Slowly I walked back to our home to await another long day of training.
