Straight up and off the bat oh yeah!
It's the last day of holidays so I won't be able to update that much. Ugh...
Anyways let's get a going!
Disclaimer: God dammit no!
Warning: Language and Anko when angry. Fuck.
Jasmine P.O.V.
I am dying.
Such pain.
I is hurting so bad.
My legs are broken.
My ribs are cracked.
And I'm having trouble breathing.
"Having fun gaki?"
I couldn't even be bothered to actually say anything to the bitchy tokubetsu jounin that was currently sitting on my back.
"You've barely done ten push ups in the past thirty minutes, it's really not that hard!" Mocked Anko as she sat on my back as she had been doing for the past thirty minutes, doing absolutely nothing.
Anko decided since I was 'late' for training (she totally ditched me), that I would have to do a hard session of training. Meaning stuff that was hard for ninjas, impossible for people like me. Even though I was considered fairly fit back...home, I was nothing compared to these super humans. Anko expected me to be able to do at least fifty of these push ups, she doesn't realise that I DON'T HAVE FUCKING CHAKRA TO USE! Well I had chakra, I just didn't know what the hell to do with it. Ninjas naturally added chakra to their muscles to help them do exercises that normally would be impossible. I couldn't push chakra to my muscles because I was actually scared I would like, set myself on fire with chakra again. Or even chakra poison them, or damage the chakra coils there. Chakra was a troublesome thing.
"Oi are you listening there?" Knuckles rapped against my extremely sweaty skull, damn long hair sometimes. I tried my best to grunt in response, but it came out more like a wheeze. An extremely pitiful wheeze.
"I'm sorry?" Anko chuckled, "loserninjasaywhat?!"
I rolled my eyes. Honesty does she realise I can't even answer her. I slowly lowered myself to the ground, my arms screaming in pain and wobbling precariously. I reached the bottom and tried to breathe properly, my lungs were definitely working overtime. Heaving one last sort-of-breath, I pushed myself slowly back up.
I was expecting a pause to breathe before going back down, I definitely wasn't expecting Anko to slap my butt and get off. I collapsed forward from the slap and buried my head into the ground. The grass was nice and cool today, so nice...
"Don't you dare fall asleep on me gaki," chirped Anko as she drag my limp form to the shade of a nearby tree. I sighed in bliss and rolled onto my back, revelling in the cool shade of the tree. Konoha really did live up to its position in the Elemental Nations, Land of Fire indeed.
I stretched my body out in hope of cooling it down. My school uniform was fairly dirty and slightly wet from morning dew. The light blue top and dark blue skirt was now a bit off the original colours. My holey, white socks were fine, as well as my black, leather shoes. Lily did a good job of my hair this morning, the ponytail wasn't falling out. Did Ino have some sort of ninja hair ties? My fringe was just a bit above my eyes so it wasn't a hassle thank Kami.
I could sense Ankos' sweet chakra signature right next to me, even if I couldn't see her or feel her body heat. Ninjas were really good at disguising their presence, but since they weren't on missions their chakra leaked out slightly. I could taste the chakra in the air, even if I couldn't distinguish where they all came from. If I tried to 'taste' them better my brain would be overwhelmed. It wasn't pleasant.
I felt a finger poking me, "Anko-sensei what now?" I groaned and swatted the hand away. "Nothing really," she replied, "just wanted to see if you were alive." I slowly sat up and turned to my sensei, she looked perfectly relaxed against the tree with her customary smirk/grin. Smrin.
"What are you doing Anko-sensei?" I asked warily, I didn't trust the fact she was letting me relax just like that.
"Nothing why?"
"Because you wouldn't just let me stop my exercises would you?"
"It's called training, but I know you're practically a civilian." She leaned forward actually looking serious, 'I know that you wouldn't be able to keep up with that kind of training with no chakra to help. Besides..." She smrinned even wider than before, "that was at least mid-chunin level training."
I felt anger bubble up me, "YOU BITCH WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" I leapt at her and started pounding her stomach with my weak punches. It did absolutely nothing and I could feel Anko shake with laugher, "we can make a kunoichi out of you yet! With that fiery attitude we'll make you a major badass!" She suddenly stood up and posed, "the sexy Anko will train her students into the most badass kunoichis the Nations has ever seen!"
I couldn't help but laugh at sensei as she declared that, it was most definitely unlikely that I will ever be an amazing kunoichi. There were simply so many amazing kunoichi legends already. Tsunade was the first and foremost. I knew Lily worshipped her strength and medical ability, Lily wanted to be someone who saved lives, but was also badass. I really didn't see how that would work, but I wouldn't crush her dreams. She also said she felt Tsunades' pain about Dan and Nawaki after...Anyway she adored Tsunade and wanted to be like her.
Me on the other hand...I really didn't know. I love how Anko seems so strong, to have survived those hateful glares. She had absolutely no one except Kurenai-sensei, all alone and it wasn't her fault. Orochimaru will pay for everyone's pain! I hate that hebi-teme so much! He takes Sasuke away from the village after killing Sarutobi-sama and his experiments ruined hundreds of peoples lives! But I'm getting off track here.
I think I mainly admired Kushina and I guess Konan. Kushina I swear was just a more hot-headed version of what I wish I could be. She was one of the most prominent kunoichi of her age, she had survived the third shinobi war. It amazed me every time they showed her chakra chains that she herself had supposedly made. Chakra chains were unknown to be Uzumaki traits so many speculated that Kushina had created the chain jutsu herself! She was everything I could hope to be as a kunoichi and as a person.
Konan was simply amazing. For an orphan to get to that degree of power was unimaginable. Mere months of tutoring under Jiraiya would've given them some skills, but managing to create such unique jutsu styles is awe-inspiring!
Okay so I do have some fangirling issues but that's okay, one of them is dead and the other is a S-rank missing nin. I probably wouldn't be around to see Konan anyway. I don't know how long Lily and I will be able to stay here, I don't even know if this is real, but time will tell.
"Having fun thinking about crap in your head?" Startled out of my thoughts I saw Anko looming over me with a knowing smirk plastered over her face. I smiled weakly at the look on her face, it meant pain.
Anko grabbed my leg and started dragging me to the center of the training ground we were in. Dropping me she clapped her hands together, "right so we were up to ten? Okay push up position maggot and let's begin! Only forty more push ups to do!" I nearly cried of exhaustion, but complied. If this is what it takes to become a ninja, I'll do it without complaining now. Time to get serious, so let's turn up the heat and get this party started!
Lily P.O.V.
Dammit Jasmine where are you?
I was currently walking through a rather thick part of Konohas' surrounding forest. I have been looking for that dope Jasmine for the past hour. She was absolutely lost and when Jasmine gets lost, she finds herself in strange situations.
I wasn't lost though. I never get lost. Never ever!
Well there was that one time on that bush walk...But it was totally Jasmines' cousins fault!
I brushed a hanging branch from my face and nearly shouted with joy. A clearing was up ahead and by the sounds of it there were people there. Normally I would avoid strangers at all cost, but I really needed to find Jasmine.
I crept slowly into the fringes of the clearing and tried to work up my nerve to ask the people if they had seen Jasmine. Just as I was about to peek around the tree a male voice spoke, "there is an intruder ten meters, south-west."
I didn't have enough time to curse when an extremely loud and obnoxious voice screamed in my ear, "WHAT A YOUTHFUL BLOSSOM! NEJI YOU HAVE FOUND A CURIOUS FLOWER WHO WISHES TO DISCOVER THE POWER OF YOUTH!"
My ears were ringing from the assault on my eardrums and I didn't have enough time to get away before another voice joined the first. "GAI-SENSEI THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER OF YOUTH! COME MY FLOWER AND SHOW ME THE BLOSSOM OF YOUTH YOU HOLD!"
A hand began tugging my arm and I couldn't bring myself to respond since I was so disorientated. I was lead past some trees and into the clearing that was really bright. I squinted at the sudden change of light and I couldn't see anything. Let alone the person that was dragging me here.
After adjusting a bit better to the light I opened my eyes...and was met with a pair of big, bug eyes. I couldn't help but let out a girly squeal and I stumbled back from the scary eyes. Just as I was about to fall, I was swept up in a princess hold.
"MY BEAUTIFUL BLOSSOM ARE YOU OKAY!"
I couldn't help but flinch again at the loud voice that hovered above me. It was familiar but I really couldn't hear well through the ringing in my ears.
"Lee put the girl down. She doesn't need someone yelling in her ear," an exasperated voice sounded like it was behind the wall of green that was blocking my vision.
"OF COURSE TE-" the wall shuddered suddenly as if it was hit. "Voice Lee!"
I was starting to like the voice behind the wall. She seemed to be able to tame the loud voice that kept yelling.
"Tenten this fair maiden has come onto our youthful training, she must wish to harness her power of youth!" That voice was now most definitely the voice of one Rock Lee. The ringing in my ears had garbled it slightly, but the talk of youth should've been a giveaway. The other voice must be the weapon mistress Tenten. Now she was a true kunoichi!
I wriggled in Lees' arms, "I don't exactly know what the power of youth is, but I don't think I want it!" Okay that was harsh, but I couldn't tolerate loud mouths and hyperactivity like Lee has. Jasmine may be slightly crazy, but she tones it down to a bearable level.
I was lowered to the ground and I calmly brushed off invisible dust. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for the talk of youth. I noticed Lee in his hideous green spandex in front of me and Tenten in her traditional top and long pants just behind him.
"Uhhh I'm SunWolf Lily?" I said rather hesitantly, instantly Lees' eyes lit up, "MY YOUTHFUL FLOWER LILY!" Before he could continue anymore I slapped my hand over his mouth, "please be quiet. I really hate loud things." I got a nod in answer and I removed my hand from his mouth.
Tenten pushed Lee out of the way and smiled apologetically at me, "sorry about my team mate Lee. He's a bit..."
"Missing," I drawled.
Tenten laughed at that and bowed slightly, "the name's Tenten." I bowed back, "you heard it already, I don't see a point in repeating." Okay a bit rude but I was lost and spandex wearing psychos had damaged my eardrums.
Tenten shrugged, "Lily, hm nice name." I smiled at her, "could say the same for you."
She had a very nice laugh, not girly at all.
"Tenten are you going to introduce this blossom to the rest of this team?" The deep voice of Maito Gai sounded from behind me and I turned to find his green chest in my face. I shuddered slightly and stepped back, spandex cooties.
Gai did his nice guy pose and I swear to Jashin his teeth do gleam. I blinked back spots where his shiny teeth had blinded me. I smiled awkwardly and bowed deeply to him. Although he creeps me out, you gotta have respect for the taijutsu master.
Gai clapped his hand on my back and turned me to face the stoic face of Hyuuga Neji. "This is my final youthful student Hyuuga Neji, he alongside the youthful Lee and Tenten make up team nine. Team Gai!" He suddenly burst out in booming laughter and I tried my best to inch away from him, only to find a pissy shinobi in my way.
"What do you think you're doing spying on our training?" Questioned Neji with the Hyuuga glare on his face, cold, I think icicles just grew on my spine.
I raised my hand up in surrender, "I'm los-"
"This blossom is obviously here for my youthful training hohoho," boomed Gai. "Of course Lily-san! You can join us to further your youthful spirit!" He pulled on my arm, "you're lucky lee has upgraded his weights so he does not need his old ones!" He pulled up orange leg warmers and shoved them proudly towards me. I like the colour orange but this is ridiculous!
Lee pulled me to the ground and managed to pull the leg warmers over my school shoes onto my calves before I could say no. I stared at the abomination and looked to Tenten pleadingly. She threw her arms up in a shrug, but I could totally see the smirk on Nejis' face behind her. Asshole.
"Sensei," began Tenten, "I don't think Lily is really ready for this..."
Gai laughed again, "this youthful girl will be fine! I heard my eternal rival say that Lily and her sister are training to be ninjas! Kakashi may be tardy, but he seemed sincere enough about this hohoho!"
I felt my eye twitch, fucking Kakashi.
Gai dragged me up and over to where his team was assembled, "let the flames of youth begin!"
Ten minutes later...
Get me away from here! There are spandex wearing psychos trying to torture me!
Jasmine P.O.V.
Get me away from here! There is a sexy speaking jounin trying to torture me!
I collapsed after finally finishing the push ups. Thank Kami it's finally done!
I gulped in oxygen like it would disappear, my lungs still feel like they're cracked. At least I've done that set, it can't get any worse can it?
Twenty minutes later...
Apparently it can.
Since Anko had no training weights for helping me get faster, she decided on a bastardised version of it.
She had attached chains to cuffs around my calves, forearms and stomach. The chains led back to three, twenty kilo girder blocks. I have no clue where the girder blocks came from, I had a sneaking suspicion about the chains and cuffs...
I shuddered slightly again at the thoughts of where these may have been before, but continue to drag the weights back and forth along the perimeter of the training grounds.
The circumference of a circle is two pie R...and the radius seems about..hundred and twenty five meters...so the circumference is...nope fuck it I don't have a calculator!
"Anko-sensei how far am I walking every lap?" I panted out to Anko who was currently lounging on a tree branch. She flipped a kunai over, "about eight hundred meters every lap." I moaned at that, "and how many laps do I have to do?"
.OhKaminonononono
"About ten! Then you can rest and maybe even get a gulp of water!"
I moaned again, it had taken me around fifteen minutes to complete the first lap. I'm barely halfway through the second. No actually...not even close.
"Keep moving gaki~"
Lily P.O.V.
"That's it Lily-san! Drop all the way until your bum touches your toes!"
Gai just kept yelling at me! I bloody heard you the first time! Although my brain was starting to get fuzzy...Gai had added old arm warmers to my ensemble of orange disgustingness. The weights only weighed about ten kilos each, but while you're doing fifty squats then fifty high leg kicks, left than right, you'd be grumpy too.
"Yosh! You're done the squats Lily-san, onto the high leg kicks!" Gai just kept talking!
I heaved my left leg into a high kick, it was sloppy and weak, but I wasn't used to the resistance on my legs. They first started fairly crisp and snappy, but after three sets I was too tired.
Someone's hand grabbed my left leg and arm, Gai guided them until my arm was more in front of my face and my leg was straight. "This is how your form should be kept, even if you're tired your form must be perfect." Gai seemed serious for once, "if you're tired slow down, but always focus on your form!" I nodded and continued my kicks slowly, focusing on the tips Gai gave me.
The kicks didn't overbalance me as much and I wasn't straining my back so hard. I managed to finish the left and right leg in quick succession. I turned to Gai who was watching me critically, I shuffled my feet under his intense gaze. I knew he didn't have to watch his team since they were working on individual abilities, they would ask him for help if needed.
He beckoned me over to a giant log off to the side of the clearing and I knew what was going to happen next.
But surprisingly he asked me a question, "can you do the splits Lily-san?" I shook my head confused, but showed him how far I could go. I was barely halfway down, I was lucky that Ella and Jordyns' dancing exercises could make us even slightly more flexible.
Gai sat down and motioned me over. Sitting down next to him he began to show me stretches to increase flexibility. I watched him and tried to ignore how disturbing it was to see a full grown man stretching in skin tight spandex. Uggghhh
I followed his guidance and did the stretches as he said, they were painful, but I felt looser than ever!
"Do those after you do any exercise," Gai said, "but not when you aren't warmed up. Torn muscles aren't what a budding kunoichi needs!" He did the nice guy pose and I couldn't help but smile back. Maybe Gai wasn't too bad.
"Now I want two hundred jabs! And if you cannot do that! Three hundred kicks!"
Well fuck.
Jasmine P.O.V.
I gritted my teeth against the pain and kept pulling. Anko had attached the chains to a chair she had somehow found and was making me drag it around Konoha. With her in it.
My muscles were screaming in pain but I kept going. If this was what it took to be a successful kunoichi I would bleed and break before giving up!
I will become a kunoichi!
Lily P.O.V.
I was so tired, my legs were exhausted and my knuckles were bleeding. There were dents from where I had hit the log though, meaning that there was improvement!
It hurt, but I would persevere. Even if it meant my body would crack and crumble, my soul would not tire! I won't give up!
I will become a kunoichi!
How was that?
It was ridiculously hard trying to think of insane training methods that Anko could put Jasmine through. I think I need some suggestions on how to train the twins.
There was some blabbing and a fair bit of youth thrown in.
Did I use youth too much? It's kinda hard to tell.
Lily has respect for Gai-sensei, except she doesn't especially like him. But seriously, who else wouldn't be a little freaked out about the spandex?
The twins will meet up again next chapter and both will probably be "trained" under Anko. I need some suggestions of what to put them through though!
Over and out!
