"Never give up. If you give up, you lose everything." Chrono muttered.
"Don't worry Chrono, I'll never give up." naruto exclaimed with a smile.
"Hai chrono." hinata said quietly while she blush.
"Well, I'll wait for the good news." Chrono stated as he left the pair.
On the way down, Chrono saw Sarutobi waiting for him with a smile on his face.
"What's the smile for?" Chrono asked.
sarutobi walked over to chrono.
"You helped Naruto and Konoha out. I would like to personally invite you into the village as a clan." sarutobi muttered.
"Why though? Why would you want to do that?" Chrono asked.
"Naruto needs a family and so far since you and your group have been here, you where like a family to him." Sarutobi said.
"But we don't belong here. You know our background. Eventually we will find a way back to Elibe or more of my race will come to capture me. You don't know how to beat them." chrono said.
"But if you become a member of the village, the village can help protect you." Sarutobi muttered as he extended his right hand.
"I need time to think about this." Chrono replied as he passed by the Hokage and left the building.
On the way back to the appartment, Chrono passed by a Tenten's Shop when he saw Emerald, Zabuza, Nino, Kyushina, Haku, and Jaffar exiting the shop.
"chrono. Where were you?" Nino asked.
"I walked with Naruto and Hinata to their Chunnin exam." Chrono replied.
"We got news. A messenger from the Hokage came to the apartment and offered us the chance to stay in the village as a clan." Emerald said.
"So he told you also." Chrono replied.
"What do you mean?" Zabuza asked.
"He asked me the same thing as I was heading out of the Chunnin exam location." Chrono replied.
"He might know something gonna happen." Jaffar muttered.
"But what? We hardly know what is happening the the village. We're outsiders after all." Nino chipped in.
"We know that. So what will you do, Chrono?" Kyushina replied with a slight smirk.
"Right now, if we wanted to we can leave the village and figure out what's happening. But there's a chance the Hokage could send an army after us." Chrono muttered.
"So we wait here?" Haku asked.
"What else do we have? The marquiess has us pinned." Jaffar muttered quietly.
"Yeah. For right now, we'll agree with them." Chrono muttered.
"And if things go bad?" Kyushina asked.
"We'll deal with it then." Jaffar muttered as he and Nino walked away.
Zabuza, haku, and Kyushina followed after the pair leaving only Chrono and Emerald back at Tenten's shop.
"How do you think everyone will do in the exam?" Emerald asked as she walked over to Chrono.
"No idea. But I hope they pass it." Chrono replied as he walked off toward the nearest resturant.
Emerald smiled as she watched Chrono enter the resturant.
"I just hope you know what you are doing." Emerald said with a slight smile as she left to head back to the appartment.
Inside the resturant, Chrono finished ordering his meal when the door opened. The dragon boy looked over at the door to see one grown man and a young girl with him. Both had white pupils and looked around until their eyes landed on Chrono. A waiter walked up to the pair and smiled.
"It's a rare site to see you come here. Hyuuga-sama. Are you eating here today Hyuuga-sama?"
"I am not. I only came here to see that man." the man said as he pointed at Chrono.
"Then if you please allow me to show you to his seat."
The waiter walked over to Chrono as the man and the young lady sat down at the table. Soon after the waiter left, the waitress came in and gave Chrono his order and left.
"Who are you?" Chrono asked as he grabbed his meal, which was a bowl of fried rice.
"Isn't it rude to demand other people's name without introducing yourself Chrono-san?" the man replied.
Chrono placed the bowl back on the table and placed his hand under the table.
"That depends. Someone of your stature doesn't normally come out to have a meal with an outsider." Chrono retorted.
The man ignored the jibe as he looked at Chrono.
"I am Hiashi Hyuuga. This is my daughter Hanabi Hyuuga." Hiashi said.
"Oh? So Hinata has a cute little sister." Chrono muttered as he regrabbed his bowl and started to eat.
"So, what does the father of Hinata want with me?" Chrono asked while eating his food.
"We have heard recently that you have started teaching Hinata in your unusual style." Hiashi stated.
"She lacked confidence. All I did was give her a little of my style to place confidence in." chrono replied.
"Which interferes with her daily training of the Hyuuga style. One does not combine jutsus and expect fluid transition." Hiashi stated.
"You are right. But yet again, one does not tell a kid to walk when they can only crawl." Chrono replied as he continued eatting his meal.
"I want you to stop teaching my daughter." Hiashi muttered quietly lacing his voice with killer intent while activating his Byakugan.
Hanabi stiffen slightly as her father unleashed his killer intent while watching Chrono.
Chrono looked unfazed as he finished his meal.
"If this is what the talk will resort to, I can fully understand why she has confidence issues. We have nothing more to say." Chrono said as he placed the bowl on the table and placed money inside of the bowl.
"We're not done talking!" Hiashi stated as he placed a hand on Chrono.
"There's nothing more that can be said." Chrono replied as he shrugged Hiashi's hand off of his shoulder and left the resturant.
Just as he exited the resturant, Naruto and Hinata spotted Chrono and walked over to him.
"We passed the first part." Naruto exclaimed.
"First part?" Chrono asked.
"Yeah. We gotta meet our testers at some forbidden gate area." Naruto said with a smile.
"Really now?" Chrono asked as the door opened behind him as Hiashi and Hanabi exited the resturant.
"Hinata! What are you doing with him?" Hiashi demanded as he looked from the said girl to Naruto, and finally on to Chrono.
"I was just talking to Chrono-san, Tou-san." Hinata whispered.
"Come. We are heading home." Hiashi muttered.
"I'm afraid that she can't at the moment. She has some training to do with Naruto here. So I'll be taking them to a training ground." Chrono muttered as he grabbed the pair by their hands and started walking.
"Why you! Hakke Rokujuyon Sho!" Hiashi muttered as he lashed out at Chrono.
A pillar of earth rose behind Chrono as the first two strikes slammed into the pillar.
"It's not very becoming of the clan head to attack someone like me." Chrono said as he manipulated the air so it would raise himself, Naruto and Hinata as they flew over to Training ground 8 leaving Hiashi and Hanabi there looking toward the sky.
"Tou-san? What is Hinata learning?" Hanabi asked.
"Something that should not be in our style." Hiashi replied.
It was around night time when Naruto and Hinata decided to head back to Naruto's appartment. Just as they left the area, two green blur rushed in and stopped infront of Chrono.
"Gai-sensei!" Lee exclaimed.
"I just came to see Chrono's overflowing fountain of youth in action as he teaches you." Gai said looking at Chrono wtih a smile.
"No worries. It won't hurt for you to know what Lee is going into." Chrono replied.
"Thank you Chrono-kun." Lee muttered.
"Now. My style of fighting refers to the workings of nature. I can only assume that you use part of nature in your attacks. My style is not so different. But first, you need to sense the energy that is needed." Chrono stated.
"How you you teach me to sense it?" Lee asked as he raised his hand.
"That's simple. Since you can't use chakra, you are more receptive to energy flows. With that being said, I will encase us all in a dome and your job, Lee, is to sense the distortions in the common world." Chrono replied.
"What distortions?" Gai asked.
Chrono's answer was felt as he poured out the magical energy into the atmosphere. Gai and Lee looked confused as they tried to determine the location of the energy.
"Look up." Chrono said.
The two green claded men looked up just to be doused with water.
"Wow!" Lee exclaimed as he looked at Chrono with something akin to fire in his eyes.
"I'm rather suprised though. You picked it up faster then I expected." Chrono commented as Lee smiled.
"so that was the energy that is needed." Gai said.
"Yes. Normally, that energy can't be found in mass quantities. But the way I'm training you, Lee, you will be able to make use of that energy in various quantities." Chrono replied.
"Let's continue!" Lee exclaimed.
Chrono and Gai nodded as the lessons in magic brought the night in.
