Naruto Mis-Begotten
Growth
It had been four months since Minato had become the children's sensei. During that time he had tested them to see what they knew and what they needed to know. After all the testing was done Minato broke down all their abilities into a chart detailing their ability in each of the three Ninja disciplines, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu. This is the chart as follows.
Naruto:
Ninjutsu: Good
Taijutsu: decent
Genjutsu: poor
Sasuke:
Ninjutsu: Excellent
Taijutsu: Excellent
Genjutsu: poor
Hinata:
Ninjutsu: Decent
Taijutsu: Excellent
Genjutsu: Poor
Yakumo:
Ninjutsu: Poor
Taijutsu: Poor
Genjutsu: Excellent
Gaara:
Ninjutsu: Excellent
Taijutsu: Poor
Genjutsu: Poor
Using this chart, Minato mapped out a training schedule for each child. In the morning was basic physical exercises followed by Taijutsu lessons for Gaara and Yakumo while Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke took turns sparing with each other. In the afternoon was ninjutsu training Minato taught basic Ninjutsu to to Yakumo while the others learned more advanced Ninjutsu. In the evening were Genjutsu classes/chakara control classes where Yakumo, Hinata, and Sasuke were taught more refined Genjutsu. Both Naruto and Gaara were deemed unfit for Genjutsu due in large part to their enormous, unwieldy chakaras, and their evident uninterest, most notably Narutos.
"It just doesn't seem right to win a fight by messing with someones brain." Naruto said one day.
After four months of this training every child had made substantial improvement. Sasuke, the born Genius could now add aptitude in Genjutsu to his arsenal Naruto's Taijutsu and Ninjutsu increased substantially to were he added a number of fire jutsu to his arsenal. Minato may not be a Hyuga, but he was genius enough to be able to help Hinata learn her families strongest techniques, so along with increased ninjutsu and genjutsu, she can also use the rotation and eight trigrams techniques. Yakumo and Gaara had the most difficulty. Both children did not even have what Minato called a basic academy education, the basic ninjutsu every child learned at the ninja academy in Konoha. Both children were adept at Ninjutsu, so it didn't take long for them to catch up with the others. The hardest parts for both of them were learning Taijutsu. Yakumo was still relatively frail, and Gaara had no experience fighting physically. Physical training took care of Yakumos remaining frailty, but Taijutsu would never be her specialty. Gaara had another problem. Since his sand protected him from harm completely out of his control, he had trouble fighting his opponent without getting caught up in it. Gaara learned the most basic of moves in case, out of all possibility, someone broke completely trough his defenses. After four months, Minato decided it was time to move on, so he began sending out feelers for missions, and to his surprise, he got one.
"The land of waves?" Naruto asked after Minato finished explaining.
"Yep, I got us a real mission as a guard." He told them.
"And what exactly will we be guarding?" Sasuke asked.
"The bridge their building." Minato said
"Their is a man named Gato, one of the richest men in the world. On the surface he seems a respected businessman, but below the surface he is into the the worst criminal activities. That is the reason I never let him set foot in the village when I was Hokage, but it seems he has the land of waves in his grip. The bridge their building will connect the land of waves to the mainland and break Gatos hold on them, and he can't have that, so he's hired ninja assassins to halt work on the bridge. I won't lie to you, on official records this would be considered an A to B rank mission, but I believe between the five of you, and what you've learned and my own strength, their won't be any problems even if we encounter a Jonin. So what do you say."
"I say we go for it!" Naruto said excitedly
"why not." Sasuke said with a smirk
"Sounds good." Gaara added.
"Hinata, Yakumo?" Minato asked
"Um...well." The girl said Uncertainly
"Lets do it." Yakumo said certainly
"All right, lets go" Hinata said
"Then pack up and get to bed early, We leave at first light tomorrow" Minato ordered.
Sorry the chapters so short an uneventful for so long a wait, but I want to set up their mission to the land of the waves. I messed up the time line, and now it's to late for them to recruit Kimimaro before Orochimaru recruits him. I promise I will make it up to you all by having a killer battle between him an Naruto, and trust me, it will be much better than the one from the anime. Also expect a killer battle between Minato and Orochimaru.
