Naruto Misbegotten
Training and Remembrance
"What, where is he!" Sakura shouted"It's tough to smell him in this mist." Kiba said.
"Everyone stay calm." Shino said.
"He couldn't have gone far."
"Good assumption brat." Zabuza said from behind them. The four ninja leapt out of the way as the Jounine swung, Kakashi grabbing Sakura and Tazuna and pulling them out of harms way.
"Good Kakashi." Zabuza said
"But try this." The mist nin said and a water clone formed behind the leaf nin, cleaving him in half.
"Kakashi sensei!" Sakura cried, as Kakashi dissolved into water. A water Kakashi rose up behind Water Zabuza and stabbed it, dissolving the clone. A second water Zabuza rose and cleaved the water Kakashi causing it to disperse. A third water Kakashi rose out of the water and held a kunai to water Zabuzas throat.
"As much fun as this is, I can't spend all day playing with you." Kakashi said
"Heh Heh. You're as good as your reputation Kakashi. To bad I'm better." Zabuza said and the clone dispersed and the real Zabuza rushed out and cleaved the water Kakashi in half before rushing to the now revealed real Kakashi. The demon of the bloody mist swung in a horizontal arch, and as the copy ninja ducked Zabuza used the momentum of the swing to embed his giant sword into the ground to anchor him self and sent a kick at Kakashi that sent him into the river. Kakashi stood on the water and looked around to see that the Demon of the bloody mist had disappeared.
"Water style: water prison jutsu." Zabuza cried and a spherical prison of water encased the copy ninja.
"Now that I've caught you it's time to finish off those brats and the bridge builder." Zabuza said and forming a half seal generated a water clone.
"Kakashi sensei's been trapped, what do we do!?" Sakura cried.
"We defeat the enemy." Shino stated calmly.
"Sakura, guard Tazuna-San. Kiba with me." Shino ordered. Kiba fed Akamaru a soldier pellet and the dog turned red as his namesake.
"Man beast jutsu!" Kiba yelled and his dog became a clone of his master.
"Hah, you think such a silly trick will work on me." Zabuza said and started laughing, utile his strength started to drain.
"Wah..whats happening to me?" Zabuza asked as his continued to drain.
"Planning. You never noticed the insect I put on you when you came near us. It's been with you as long as you have been fighting with Kakashi-sensei and now that you're stationary it allowed the rest of my insects to latch on to you." Shino explained as the mass of insects crawled up his back, eating away at his Chakra.
"Kiba, now!" Shino shouted and the pair attacked.
"Fang over fang!" They shouted and spun at the Jounine. Zabuza was forced to leap out of the way to avoid being eviscerated. Shaking off the insects he leapt across the lake, Kakashi going after him now that he'd been released from the water prison. At the end of the lake they stopped, Zabuza out of breath now that he had been drained of chakra.
"It's over Zabuza." Kakashi said. The ninja grabbed his sword when two needles pierced his throat. The demon of the bloody mist toppled over dead as a small figure jumped out of the trees wearing a mask.
"Kakashi-sensei, are you all right?" Sakura asked. Kakashi was about to answer when his own chakra exhaustion hit and he toppled over
"Thanks for taking care of Zabuza. I have been hunting him for quit some time." The masked ninja said as he hoisted him over his shoulder.
"I must dispose of the body. Goodbye." The Ninja said before teleporting away.
"And that is what happened." Shino finished explaining the story.
"Ah, man. We met that guy to, but he ran away after a few hits." Naruto said.
"Well, who's he gonna face. Some runaways who aren't even ninja, or the real deal." Kiba boasted.
"What you say!" Growled.
"Leave it Naruto." Sasuke said.
"They may be registered ninja, but that means nothing. The only thing that matters is strength, and we have that in abundance." Sasuke said, earning a glared from Kiba.
"Oh Sasuke-kun, you're so cool" Sakura gushed.
"You're right Sasuke-kun, strength is important, to all of you. That's why I'm going to be over seeing all of you while Kakashi's laid out." Minato said, listening in on their conversation.
"Lord Hokage, is Kakashi-sensei going to be alright?" Sakura asked worriedly. "Fortunately he didn't use his Sharingan enough to completely fry him, but he needs at least two days to rest. And I would mind if you didn't call me Hokage. I'm not the Hokage anymore, and I doubt I'll ever be again." Minato said, sneaking a glance at his son arguing with Kiba. The glance did not go unnoticed by Sasuke, who promptly scowled.
Minato looked at the eight children gathered before him in the forest.
"Alright, I have five clan ninja, two demon containers and one normal little girl lets see what they can do."
"Alright, the exercise you're going to do is a tree climbing exercise. By gathering chakra to the soles of you feet, you can climb a tree without touching it." Minato said a showed them by walking up to a high branch and tossing three Kunai down to them.
"But Sensei, why only three?" Sakura asked.
"Naruto?" Minato asked, and the boy strolled up the tree
"These five have already mastered tree climbing and other difficult jutsu. While the three of you are doing this they will be getting special training from me, and from Kakashi when he wakes up." Minato said causing Sakura to ponder, Shino to consider, and Kiba to seethe.
"If that loser can do it, so can I!" Kiba said and ran up the tree, only to come crashing down.
Naruto leapt from the tree and picking up the Kunai handed it to Shino.
"Make a mark at the highest point you can, then another, and another, until you reach the top." Naruto said before walking away.
"Hey Minato, I'm gonna train on my own for a while." Naruto said, causing Sakura to glare and stomp toward him.
"Naruto you dolt, watch your mouth, do you know who your talking to." By this time Naruto was sweating from being under the girls wrathful eye. Sakura raised her fist to thump him when a slender pale hand of iron wrapped a hand around her wrist. Looking at the person who kept her from unleashing her well-deserved wrath, Sakura saw it was that pale girl Hinata, who had a stony expression on her face.
"Naruto-kuns behavior is not your concern. You are neither his teammate nor his friend and the next time you strike him or attempt to strike him you will deal with me." The shy girl said, her soft voice holding iron. For emphasis, she gave a non-chakra-enhanced strike to Sakuras gut, doubling her over on her knees and leaving her gasping for breath.
"Naruto-kun, may I train with you?" Hinata asked with a sweet smile, making Naruto blush.
"Um, sure." Naruto said, confused at the feelings running through him at watching Hinata flatten Sakura with one hit then asking him to train with such a sweet look. She almost looked, pretty. The two walked into the woods, oblivious to the other people around them including a father who was considering certain options that were begining to present themselves.
"I'm gonna train on my own to." Sasuke, said ignoring the girl gasping or breath, too focused on training, revenge, and a certain pale eyed girl who he had chosen to help restore his clan. All he had to do was pull her away from a certain blond nitwit.
All right, new chapter with some action.
