Episode four: Teamwork and training pt1: group training.
Episode pic: Naruto, Alt and Duke are dressed in identical black ninja outfits, they looking up at a sign that reads "women bath", a grappling hook in each of the hands. Unknown two black shadows are about to overwhelm them.
"Hey guys, did you already order?" Naruto asked as he walked into Ichiraku. He saw Hinata, Sakura and Duke already eating. "Thanks for waiting guys." He stated sarcastically as he took a seat next to Hinata.
"You're welcome." Sakura answered sweetly making, Duke smirked at his brother. Naruto chuckled sarcastically, before taking some of Hinata ramen, right from the chopsticks that was held a centimeter from her lips. He took the bowl and was about to continue eating, when the blushing and pouty princess took her ramen back and held it away from him. Naruto reached for it but she resisted.
"Back Simba! Back I say!" Hinata commanded playfully as she fought to keep her food away from the ramen fiend.
"Oh come on, you don't want that! Just give it to me Nata-hime-chan!" Naruto bellowed as he practically was on top of her, reaching for the chopsticks.
"Children, children behave." Duke reprimanded the "couple" by clapping his hands; the two just looked at him before continuing their ramen war. Sakura patted his shoulder and smiled slyly.
"You tried." She said comfortingly before laughing at the two. "I wish I had a camera right now." She said through her laughs.
"If it was a cinnamon bun, I would give it to you. So why can't you share with me?" Naruto inquired, as he now had practically pressed between him in the counter. He tried to charm her with a smile, to lower her guard.
"One, I'm hungry, two you can buy your own and three that not exactly true. Remember last week, when you ate my LAST, specially made cinnamon bun!" The Hyugga princess excuse pointing at Naruto nose. Naruto thought back for a second and smirked.
"You mean the one that was shaped like my head…That was tasty! The best you made. In both taste and appearance" Naruto exclaimed making the girl blush at the praise, she shook it off. "I thought it was for me. I mean it had my face." He explained as he continued to reach for the ramen.
"It also had a warning, which said consequences of an equal or larger matter will fall upon who ever eat my Naruto bun." Hinata exclaimed as her blushed increased at the call of the name.
"Vengeance is not the way Hinata! Now give me the ramen, that's an order!" Naruto commanded as he reached for the ramen. Hinata thought quickly, and threw the ramen up into the air bowl and all. Naruto screamed bloody murder as he saw the 'food of the gods' fly precariously in the air.
Hinata took this time to escape from her very enjoyable position to catch her food, and she did by sliding just in time. She stood and presented her food intact, earning a round of applause from the other three. She bowed, blushing a bit as she placed the bowel on the floor to her left.
"Itadakimasu!" Hinata announced loudly before she going to eat her bowl, only to find it gone. "What the…." She started when she heard a burp coming from the outside. She looked behind the wall and there she saw Alt, patting his stomach. A tick mark actually appeared on her beautiful features, and her fist started to clench, her Byakugan activate and finally…a devious smirk appeared not unlike that of Duke.
"Sugoi." Alt said coolly as he stood up and looked at Hinata. "Yo, Nata-chan, what's good?" Alt said with a smile, a little bit oblivious of what was about to happen. Hinata didn't say anything before she pounced upon the unsuspecting ninja.
"One special please." Naruto ordered to Ayame, the owners' daughter who nodded before working on the order.
"Hinata what are you doing!!!" Alt scream resounded from the restaurant
Those inside just listen to the subtle "pssh" sounds that came from a jyuken strike, followed by a sound of somebody getting slammed to the wall, a kick in the groin, and a high pitch yelled. Ayame who was used to such events occurring with these five, placed Naruto order, down and front of him who started salivate a bit. Sakura who was still in a laughing fit over what was happening outside, handed the blonde a napkin to wipe his mouth, who nodded his thanks.
Hinata came back to the stand with a beaten and limping Alt following behind her. She took her seat back, and watched as Naruto prepare to eat. Just as the tasty noodles were going to reach his mouth, Hinata ate them first, stunning Naruto. While he was stunned, she reached for Naruto ramen bowl and promptly started eating.
He was about to called her on it, when he looked at Alt and back at her who was now looking at him kindly and cutely slurping the last of 'her' ramen, with her head on the side. He shook his head and chuckled before wiping the both of her lips. Hinata blushed brightly, before facing ayame.
"5 more please!" Hinata exclaimed loudly pumping her fist up, Naruto and Alt was left dumbfounded. Sakura and Duke, who just watched the whole thing played out, broke out into howling laughter, as did Ayame as she got the orders ready.
"Oh man, that was beautiful! You three could be a comedic trio!" Duke said as he wiped a tear from his eyes, Sakura was to busy having respiratory problems to comment, but she did agree by giving them a thumbs up, as she kept her head down.
"Yeah whatever, you say you didn't have a hungry Hyugga taking your food." Naruto complained as he glared at his brother. Hinata patted him on his back and smiled apologetically to her crush.
"Please forgive me, Naruto-kun…but you had it coming…now you'll learn not to ignore my warnings." Hinata reprimanded him kindly as a wife would do her husband. "Besides, I got you good." She added doing a little victory jig, before giggling gently to him.
"And what of me Hinata-Chan. Why did you attack me like that?" Alt asked a bit perturbed.
"You ate the ramen I fought Naruto for so hard. I was hungry and mad Sorry Forgive me." Hinata stated to her friend with an apologetic smile. "Besides I thought you like women beating on you, you masochistic male. Remember what you said Abuse is another from of attraction." Hinata said accusingly pointing a finger at Alt, who stood up facing her.
"Kicks to the groin are not a form of attraction! Jyuken shots are not so bad though…Beside only with A girl I like can pain be considered pleasure." Alt responded pointing at her. The two of them continued staring until, Hinata food arrive.
The smell radiated through out the room. Naruto reached for two of the bowls and began eating, as he watch the two stare each other down. Hinata walked towards the counter and got a bowl, before bringing it to Alts nose.
"Go ahead…take a whiff you know you want to Alt. Take a nice long one, the one when you got to close your eyes." Hinata said persuasively, but alt kept his strength up. He smirked as he knew how to get her to laugh.
"Yesterday morning." Alt said calmly as he watches the smile grew on Hinata face, holding in her laughter. She looked back at Duke, who arched an eyebrow before sighing a knowing sigh.
"Damn it, I don't go after the young ones!" He yelled out loud causing everyone in the vicinity to look at him, oddly. That was it for both of them, as both friends couldn't possibly hold it in after, Duke's outburst. "Yeah laugh it up ya jerks." Duke said growling, Sakura just laughed at his expense, while Naruto was going to reach another bowl, only to get stopped by Hinata who sat down.
"No touchy, you already had two." Hinata reprimanded before chuckling at his puppy eyes. "Newbie." She declared, but on the inside 'so kawaii'.
"Sheesh I must be losing my touch." Naruto chuckled as he messed up the Hinata hair, who blushed and pout before smiling at him. Alt agreed as he ate two of the bowls of ramen.
"I have taught you well, hinata-chan. I have no more to teach you." Sakura announced as if she was a sage. Hinata laughed before bowing towards her sister figure.
"I am eternally grateful for your lessons. Sakura-sensei." Hinata stated with a smile.
The boys felt a bit proud over the display, as they remembered how Hinata used to be some years ago. So shy, closed up, fragile and withdrawn. So different from the still shy yet sassy, gentle yet tough, strong-willed teen of today, and while the boys might feel a bit of pride, it is Sakura who really should be proud, due to the fact that she was the person who helped her become the person she is…and get her close to Naruto.
So Alt, who team are you on?" Duke asked the tanned skinned male. Alt smirked a bit before answering.
"I'm with Kiba, Shino, and Karin-san, our sensei and commander is Kurenai yuhhi." Alt said smirking as he thought about his team. " They're actually aren't too bad. Kiba a bit loud and wild but so are Naruto and Sakura-"
"Cheap shot!" Said people interrupted loudly, causing Duke and Hinata to chuckle.
"Shino's cool, once you get by the bug thing, he only speaks when he have to, or make a snide comment. Kind of like Duke-
" Do I make snide comments?" Duke asked, truly perplexed.
"Yes, Yes you do." All four of his friends stated simultaneously in a monotone voice. Duke had the right mind to be sheepish and scratch his cheek.
"Kurenai-sensei seems like a capable leader. She seem like she might be a slave driver though. She said she's going to stop me from being so lazy." Alt stated as he chuckled.
"You shouldn't underestimate Kurenai-neesan, Alt-kun" Hinata warned Him. She has known Kurenai, just as long she knew Sakura, and she thought of her as somewhat of an idol. Sakura nodded in agreement, before putting her two cents in.
"Kurenai-itkoto, could be very persuasive, and determine. Especially when she's put her mind to it. She's been trying to get Asuma to quit smoking, for three years now I think. He cut down at least, but he still smokes." Sakura told them as she thought about her last meeting with the two.
"Well whatever, I'd like to see her try." he challenged out loud.
"I'll be sure to inform Kurenai-sensei of your challenge Alt-bozo." A smug feminine voice said from the door, causing Alt to cringe and blush at the same time. Sakura look at the blonde girl who just walked in, he lips twisted to a sly smile as the girl stood facing the five. She nodded towards the five , returned the jester.
"Karin-san, what are you doing here?" Alt asked the wealthy blonde beauty. The other four were amused about how nervous he was, when he was speaking to her.
"Nothing actually, just taking an evening stroll. I heard Kasugano-san voice, and was wondering if she'd be up for a little match." Karin stated as she looked at her rival with a grin, knowing Sakura will most definitely fight her. Sakura matched her grin, before stretching her arms out forward.
"You know I am always up for a fight with Karin, but how you talk with us a bit." Sakura insisted as she pointed to the chair next to Alt. Karin shrugged before complying.
"So whose you're team leader Kasugano? I figured it would be someone appropriate. A Sanin perhaps?" Karin teased arban headed girl. She, as well as everyone knew Sakura hated when people teased her about her relation with the Hokage, and hated special treatment. Her strength, skills, knowledge and everything had been earned, not given.
"Ha, funny, If you want to know I'm on a team lead by Duke and Naruto. It's kind of an experimental team, no jounin leader to speak off, but we will be receiving instruction from Kakashi Hatake." Sakura stated proudly, enjoying the slight twitch of her rival eyebrow. Karin was shocked at the news and felt a bit of envy, but the main thing she was feeling was anticipating. Anticipating for a fight with Sakura after she been with her team for a while. She also was impressed in curious as why the Hokage would let genin has free-will without any instruction.
"Speaking of which Alt, I'm mad at you for saying refusing Kamina offer. Trying to take the easy way out so you won't have to work hard. It's because of you I couldn't refuse. I should kick you." Duke accused as he pointed his chopsticks at said boy. Alt just laughed while scratching his head.
"If I said yes, I wouldn't be on a team with Karin-san. Besides I'm not the leader type, that's you and Naruto stage. I'm just background work." Alt stated as Duke sighed…He had a point, Alt was never truly an active person only during pranks, battle and shogi would this person ever show interest, either than that he was a lazy lump of life.
"Hmm I still don't get why you didn't get placed on the team any who?" Naruto stated. "I mean from what I gathered Kamina didn't put this together based on academy records or status, but more on individual ability. It more like he observed all those who make up the team personally." Naruto explained with a fox grin, before his face took on a more serious tone. "Actually, the true purpose of this team still bothers me. What kind of missions will we be head out to do. I think there might be something hidden that the old man do not want to tell us." Naruto spoke in an uncertain tone, the concerned thick in his voice.
His four friends all took on a similar face as they began to ponder such things. Karin was a bit disturbed about how serious the five of them became instantly
"Excuse me…what are you talking about? I don't know anything about your team, but I'm sure the Hokage wouldn't give you missions without good reasons. As you said he placed the team based on ability." Karin reinsured them, before looking at Alt. "Ability it seems, you did not show during your career in the academy. Ability that you're hiding from your team." She said with a piercing tongue. Alt felt a bit guilty when he heard her voice, and was about to speak when Dukes' voice rang out.
"So what? Is it so bad to hold back. We decided that the academy shouldn't get to see our ability, so we didn't stand out." Duke stated his eyes glaring at the blonde girl. "What we decide to do with our skills is our business. Those who know how strong we are need to know. We not are going to show what we can do just for an academy grade. We're not conceited as a couple of people we know." He explained as he cracked the back of his neck.
"Why is that? Aren't you proud of your skills. I mean, if you are as strong as you are, you probably would be more popular during the academy, with both the faculty and your peers." Karin countered, now changing her piercing glaze to the young gear.
"I'm sure, but we didn't get these skills for popularity through out a school house. We did it to prepare for what's to come beyond the academy. What ever that might be…and we're still getting stronger by the day. You understand right? As soon as we got the head bands we lost all association to the name "Academy Student". Now we are "Shinobi" thus we need to fight as "Shinobi." Naruto answered just as serious as Duke. "Maybe you should think about that for a bit Karin-san." He added.
Karin looked at the two girls, who faced told that they also believed in what they said fully. "You feel this way to, Alt-bozo." Karin inquired of her teammate.
"Fully, and whole-heartedly. Today is my last day as an academy student. After her test, I will truly be reborn as a Shinobi, in more then name. Then I would no longer feel the need to hold myself back. Are you prepared for that Karin, to let go of your life as an academy student, as a child, and enter the world of shinobi." Alt asked the beautiful blonde, his eyes glued to hers.
Karin was taken back at this person in front of her. Yesterday he was barely on her radar, today in the team meeting he seemed to be just a lazy and uncouth. Now though he had an aura of strength, that was to be noticed and respected. She should know, she believed she had such an aura too, which she did, but it wasn't anything close to what Alt was radiating….What all five of them was radiating. She nodded as her response. He smiled and turned back to the Alt she was used to, but that feeling was still there squeezing her heart. She felt her cheeks getting hot and decided she needed to leave.
"I'm going to head home. It was pleasant, talking to you five. I feel I understand you guys a bit more. Sakura-san we'll postpone our fight for now. I feel that It wouldn't be fair to fight me, with you holding back most likely." Karin stated truthfully, shocking the clique . "and I'm sorry if I angered anyone of you." That blew all of them over, the cool Karin Kanazuki apologizing. They could only wave as she began to leave.
"Wait, Karin-san. Let me walk you home." Alt stated as he got from his seat, and walk to the girl side. The other four was waiting for him to get shot down again, but was shock when a small charming smile appeared.
"Thank you Alt-san." She stated as she looked at the taller boy in his eyes, ignoring the heat in on her cheek. He smiled before following behind her. He waved at the other four as walked.
"Hey Alt, come to the monument after you're done ok! We'll be waiting on the top!" Hinata yelled to the walking duo headed towards the setting sun. He placed a thumb up to let her know he got the message.
"Well, come on guys, it been a while since we had some group training and I want to see if any of you got sloppy." Duke stated as he headed out of the stand. Naruto, Hinata and Sakura followed after him after saying their good byes to Ayame.
The four of them walked side by side, before each of them looked at each other with a challenging look. The all got into position, before sprinting off, toward the Hokage monument, hopping upon roofs, leaping off walls and running though the evening crowd to obstruct each other, in a race to reach the monument top first. I known to them a pair of jade eyes was glaring daggers at the four.
Meanwhile at Hokage tower, Kamina Sarutobi, better known as the third, was looking at the four through his crystal ball, with a satisfied look. He figured that this team would become something unfathomable, probably greater then three sanin he trained. As he continued to watch the race, a bit eager to see how it will turnout, he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." Kamina, Stated, as he tuned away from the crystal ball to prepare him a pipe. In walked Kakshi, with a mischievous look on his face, that perked Kamina interest.
"What brings you by my office Kakashi?" Kamina asked his jounin.
"I just came to give you my analysis off the team you placed together. I can honestly say that they are more then likely to get killed on their first time out." Kakashi replied, as he took on a more serious look. "I truly think that letting a few genin out with out a jounin leader could have dire repercussions." He added a bit concerned.
"You underestimate them to much. Believe me when I say this, a jounin leader would only hinder their progress, that's why you are only a sensei to them. Naruto and Duke will be fine and they both have excellent capabilities as leaders. They know that the protection of their own comes first." Kamina explained to the cycloptic jounin. Kakashi didn't look convinced at all.
Kamina, seeing Kakashi's worry sighed as he bent down under the desk. He pulled out a folder and handed it contents to Kakashi.
"Those are a list of bounties, hunted down and successfully completed. Look through them and tell me what you see." Kamina insisted to the ninja. Kakashi looked through the pile of papers. Most of them was fairly high, and was known for their dangerous tactics. Peculiar thing is they were all deceased.
"These are three maybe four years worth of bounties, they all was defeated and lost their life in their battles. Why are you showing me this?" Kakashi asked perplexed at Kaminas' actions. The hokage simply turned the folder to Kakashi, and there on the front was a picture of a younger looking Naruto, Alt and Duke.
"It's their folder. You see Kakashi, those boys have already learned the battlefield, and came accustomed to it. They know what it means to battle with a murderer. They know the malevolent side of life; they no longer have that innocence. Their hands has been dirtied…even before the files you have their, and it was by choice. They chose to hunt to gain experience, to grow in strength, to learn early the truth about what they will have to do as ninjas, and you want to know what they did, with their new found strength, and knowledge." Kamina asked, waiting for kakashi to interrupt. The jounin showed no signs of doing so.
"They passed it on, to those closes to them. They let them know that as a ninja their life would be on the line every time they go out on missions. Thus they began to train them as they were train, while they were train. Through battle, through meditation, through conversation, through anything they could recall going through during their training, they passed down. It got so bad or good depending on your view, that they researched different styles of martial arts and try to create a makeshift style out of those that intrigue them." Kamina stated proudly as he remembered, His niece actually instructing his grandson one night in the basics of the style her and her friends created.
He brought over the crystal ball of the window sill in on to the desk, and motioned kakashi to watch with him.
"They are going to practice the style they created right now. I believe my niece stated it was a hybrid of lethwei, capoeira, judo, and chen style tai chi cuan." Kamina explained to the jounin, who was surprised to say the least. He nodded as he watch the crystal ball, as it showed the four finishing their run, in which Sakura and Hinata tied in first and the boys were a few seconds behind.
At the monument Sakura and Hinata were celebrating over their 'amazing' victor over the boys, who had the decency to be sporty about their lost.
"Weighted clothing! That's the only reason you won!" Both boys exclaimed as the girls continued to celebrate.
"A lost is a lost in a race, but you two put up a good run. We commend you on your valiant effort." Hinata teased the two boys, with an accent that could be considered old English.
"Even though we dusted you two sucka's!" Sakura exclaimed loudly as she did a little jig, while giggling. Duke sucked his teeth as he watched her dance, his eyes following the movement of her waist and hips. He quickly shook his head and put on a serious face.
"Okay you three we're here. Time to get to training. Since Sakura and Hinata came in first, they spar first. Let's see if you got an better at our H.A.N.D.S style." Duke stated as the two girls took a stance
Sakura took one similar to those who are disciplined in Muy Thai. Her arms face level with her left slightly closed fist closer to her face, her right leg straight as her left was a bit bent at the knee, bouncing on her toes a bit. Her partner Hinata took a stance of tai-chi-quan. She hand her left leg farther out then her right, which was aligned with her back. Her hands were chest height, and open, her left being farther out then her right.
Naruto walked in between the girls looked at both, who nodded to him.
"Hajime!" Naruto exclaimed out loud with a punch to the air. Like a cue for a scene to start, the girls began to battle...I mean spar, at an impressive rate. Sakura struck first by charging to get in close, before launching a left elbow towards the top of her head. Hinata parried the elbow and gave her a low stomp to the left shin, but it was dodged by Sakura lifting her leg up towards chest, before kicking straight towards Hinata mid section. Hinata took the hit but grabbed her ankle just before she could have the full force of the hit.
She pulled her close by the ankle throwing her a bit of guard, before giving her a hard hit to her stomach. Sakura felt the air flew from her body, but recovered quickly, before giving Hinata a head butt to her fore head, making the light lavender eyed princess stumble back, and let her go. Hinata rubbed her head a bit, before she took her stance again.
Hinata, smiled as she saw her sister ready and waiting for her to strike. Hinata charged at her, and gave her flurry of palm strikes, pushing Sakura on the defense. Sakura parried her last blow throwing Hinata off. She took this chance to give Hinata a right knee to her abdomen, followed by and elbow to the back. Making her bend over, a bit.
Hinata retaliated with a open palm uppercut, which was just dodged, by Sakura bending back a bit. Hinata took this chance give Sakura a sweeping kick making the brown hair fighter fall on her back. She followed this with an arch palm to Sakura's abdomen, only to have her catch it and lock her arm between her legs and wrist between her arms.
"That's enough girls. Sakura let go." Duke called out to the two warriors, who was still locked in battle. Sakura released Hinata and somersaulted up to her feet. Hinata l stood up, before rotating her arms with a satisfied look on her face. Sakura hugged her friends neck, and smiled.
"Hinata-chan got so strong! Those palm hits was way more harder then last time you getting good at tai-chi-quan!" Sakura exclaimed a they watched the two boys took their places.
"Hai, I've been practicing a bit at night, but Saku-chan you gotten more efficient in lethwei, and I think you was holding back." Hinata accused her sister figure who just hit her own head lightly.
"Guilty, but that only because you held back as well." Sakura countered with a point to Hinata, who blushed. The two girls turned to see the boys as preparing to battle.
Naruto took a judo stance. His arms was held out six inches away from his face in open fist and his left foot was six inches in front of his body his right straight. Duke on the other started to rock his body from left to right swinging his arms in a similar fashion as he moved his leg behind the other each time he moved, humming a hip – hop beat as he did. Before the two could start though, Alt appeared in between them, strangely enough with a stereo in his shoulders.
"Hey masochist-kun!" Hinata and Sakura greeted the young ninja. Alt just chuckled a bit, as looked at the two boys.
"looks like I got here in time. I think I'll set this sparring session out." Alt stated as he turned on the stereo, Royce da 5'9 'hip-hop' blearing out of the machine. Causing the three spectators to roc their heads to the beat. Not to mention the Hokage as well.
(battle song
Royce: Hip-hop
Duke started to smirk at this as he started moving to the beat as it began. Naruto was smirking in anticipation of is brother capoeira skills. Naruto attacked first with a downward arch punch to Duke's chest, but do to Duke movements, the fist met air, and he received a kick to the chin as he flipped back into a headstand.
Duke continued by twisting his body while spreading his legs to make a helicopter like move, pushing Naruto on the defense.
Naruto blocked relentlessly as Duke continued his onslaught of kicks, naruto caught o on of his ankles before he had the chance to stop, an in an impressive show a skill threw him back by twisting his ankle, placing Duke on his stomach. Duke flipped back on to his feet and quickly struck with a flurry of roundhouse kicks one after the other, causing Naruto to back up to get out of Duke's range, Duke swung one last kick, and stopped mid way before thrusting his leg out to catch naruto in the chest.
Naruto slid back holding his chest, as he recovered Duke was already upon him, bring an axe kick down. Naruto reacted quickly, went under his brother kick, and grabbed his brother by the collar before tripping him and slamming him down hard to the stone floor. He then lifted Duke up and tossed him a few feet away.
Duke landed on his hand and rolled in to a handstand, before doing a couple of flips towards naruto, when he was close enough he locked his neck between his feet and with great momentum threw Naruto with his feet. Naruto flew a few feet but righted him self to land in a crouch. Just as the two was about to continued, the song ended, signaling the end of their spar. The two bowed to each other, before joining the others.
"You two have gotten better, but what about the other styles that makes up our style." Alt asked the brothers.
"I assure you we're both proficient at the other four styles as well, if you don't believe me how you join us in a spar, or one of the girls at that?" Naruto questioned Alt, who looked at the girls. Each had a sweet smile on the face but a glint in their eye which promised a beating if he let his guard down.
"No thanks, I'm cool." He responded with a bit of fear in his throat, causing the other three to laugh.
"Alt, how about you give us an exhibition then, shows us something." Duke suggested to the light-skinned ninja. Alt looked annoyed but decided to do it. He went to his stereo and changed the CD track. He walked to where the others was fighting. He nodded to Hinata to press play on the stereo who complied as soon as he slipped into a muy thai fighting stance
(Battle song: Battle cry)
Alt started with simple elbows, punches and knees as he started to fight his imaginative opponent. He rolled to the side and sweep kick before throwing a flurry of kicks ending it with a rising knee and a low elbow which put a crack on to the ground. He rolled as; the music ended and went to the next track. He went into a capoeira stance.
(battle song: It's going down
linkin park feat X-ecutioner style)
Alt started with a flurry of quick round houses and sweeps, before flipping on to his hands. He twisted his body as duke did performing the same helicopter motion as duke before rolling forward, and thrusting a kick on to the air. He then raised his body up from the floor while keeping his arms planted and slowly swung his legs around, gradually gaining speed as he continued. He as the song played. He lifted his body up into another handstand before flipping back doing a couple of butter fly twist kicks. He finished the exhibition by doing a cartwheel and breaking it by kicking at the top of it, standing on one hand.
"Nice." Hinata congratulated as the others nodded in agreement. Alt leapt back and took a neutral fighting stance before he started throwing combinations of punches, kicks, knees, head butts and rolls. He out of his roll and threw a flying kick followed by a roundhouse and a sweep. From there he threw an uppercut, rolled to the left, threw a side kick with his right foot, and head butted his mental opponent again, before pretending to toss the opponent over his shoulder. He then dropped an arched palm hard unto the floor, followed by a graceful series of sweeping kicks. He thrust an open palm uppercut, before doing a combination of graceful fluid strikes switching between, kicks, palm thrust, and shoulder strikes ending with a axe kick, and the end of his exhibition.
When he turned to his friends, he smirked a smug smirk at their clapping.
"That was a show of power, skill, aggression and grace." Duke stated seriously, as he congratulated his friend.
"That must be the most effort I saw you put into anything…ever." Sakura commented.
"Nice moves you got there Alt, you've gotten better. Make me wanna fight against ya." Naruto stated with a smirk in his eyes.
"That was a beautiful display Alt-san. You should be proud." Hinata stated truthfully. Their comments caused Alt to sighed, He enjoyed them but he hated being the center of attention.
"If you show this side to Karin she might warm up to ya." Sakura stated truthfully, causing Alt to blush, and actually consider it. He quickly shook his head.
"Sorry, I can't. I'm allergic to putting up an effort unless absolutely needed." Alt refused by crossing his arms in a "X". The boys nodded in agreement, while the girls was dumbfounded his response.
"Suit yourself you lazy sloth." Sakura insulted the light skinned ninja, as he chuckled. Hinata looked up at the now night and star filled sky.
"We better head home, tomorrow we gotta training with Kakashi-bozu, and no need to be to late…even though I got the akin feeling that he will be." Hinata stated truthfully. They all agreed and headed off the monument.
Back at the office Kamina and Kakashi was a bit amazed at the training sessions they just had.
"Hokage-sama if I may be so forward, why didn't you put Alt on the team as well. It's obvious that the five of them are close enough to be a family." Kakashi interrogated. Kamina smoked his pipe in gave Kakashi a piercing look.
"He decide not to, and suggested that it would be even more unfair if all five of them was on a team. Besides he said he think it was better if he was away from the four as he wouldn't ever be able to be lazy." Kamina said with a smirk he always thought that Alt was a funny kid, but intelligent, and very intuitive. He most likely knew what kind of team Kamina was making, and decided to be a reserved, just in case something happened to one of those four.
"That in he said he needed help with Genjutsu, so I placed him with Kurenai yuhhi and team eight." Kamina added as he smoked again. Kakashi just nodded in agreement. He was impressed with these four teens, even more so the Uchiha.
"Who came up with the idea of this H.A.N.D.S. style." Kakashi wondered out loud, causing Kamina to chuckle. Kakashi looked back at the Kage in surprised.
"Think about it…Now is their anything else you need Kakashi?" Kamina asked kindly. Kakashi shook his head, and with a smile quickly vanished from the room.
While that was happening Hinata Hyugga was walking home by herself, each of the H.A.N.D.S style practitioners lived in different directions so this was nothing new, except she felt the anger glare of someone on the back of her neck. Getting a little annoyed at this she called out.
"Hey if you got some business with me, let's get it over with…it's real annoying to feel your gaze." Hinata stated confidently, hiding the bit of nervousness in the gut of her stomach. She was surprised to see Haruno, step from around the corner. She looked at Haruno eyes and realize she was going to attack.
"Don't do it. I don't want to hurt you Haruno-san." Hinata stated calmly as started to walk from the girl. Haruno charged at Hinata regardless of her warning. She threw a punch to the princess head , and a second later found her self on her back with Hinata left foot on her chest. Looking down with a look she never saw on the shy girl face. Her faced look a bit sadistic in the moon light, due to the dark smile and confident glint in her eyes. No Byakugan activated
"How? You didn't have your Bakugan activated?" Haruno asked afraid of Hinata.
"You make to much noise when you run, and a battle cry really don't help to intimidate a ninja. Now I figured you are attacking me because of what Naruto-kun did to Sasuke-bozo." Hinata stated truthfully raising an eyebrow. Haruno fought to keep Hinata off her but every time she lifted her foot Hinata would bring it down with more force.
"I'm going to brake your chest cavity if you keep this up." Hinata stated nonchalantly.
"then let me go, Hinata you used to be so nice what happened to you? I bet it because of the bitch Kasugano." Haruno asked hoping to make Hinata feel guilty. Hinata stomped on her stomach as soon as Haruno was finish.
"Keep on talking, I want to know how much mistakes you're going to make before you realize that I'm still the same Hinata…it just that I don't take any non-sense, defiantly when it's from some one as disrespectful as you." Hinata Stated serious. "Let me tell you something, Naruto and Duke are now our leaders. While in battle they are gong to be protecting us and leading us. The last thing I want is to have them die for some one who doesn't respect them. So I suggest you stop fawning over the Bozo and start becoming a real kunoichi. Kind of like Sakura-nee and me." Hinata stated.
"You both are pretenders. You two aren't any thing compared to..OOFF!" Haruno stopped her rant as Hinata stepped on her chest again. She then gave her a signal to continue. "You bitch! You think you going to get the dobe to like you because you're a bit tough…we all know your still a little pussy afraid and shy. I bet you'll be the first one to die on a mission, or maybe Naruto-dobe would be the first, then the thug and your bitchy best friend. Leaving you all alone!" Haruno said loudly trying to get Hinata mad or burst into tears, but all she saw was a small grin before Hinata raised her foot over her stomach and stomped four more times before giving her a swift kick in the face, causing her to bleed from the lip.
"Go home Haruno. We have training tomorrow. Don't be late" Hinata yelled as she walked towards her home, leaving a teary eyed Haruno to pick her self up. She looked at Hinata and promised some way she'll get revenge on her.
Duke: wow that was an interesting part.
Sakura: What the hell? Why we're stopping?
Duke; it's a 28 minute show, and we just ran out of time. no glossary this time. well there going to be one next time.
Sakura: So we're going to do the training next time, cool. Though I do feel a little uneasy, I wonder what Kakashi has in store for us.
Kakashi: (smirks) You'll see, just don't eat breakfast tomorrow.
Duke and Sakura: (gulps) Next time training and teamwork pt2: Kakashi's "horrifying" teamwork exercise.
