Kakashi's Saturday off was not as relaxing as he had hoped it would be. In fact, it was quite nerve-wracking for him. He had been summoned to the Council Chamber yet again. When they could have called him down any other time after he was done with work. Once he had arrived, he was given a full update on his ex-student, Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke had been sent to the Land of Fire's National Ninja Rehabilitation Clinic several months ago. It was located on a large island several miles off the south-east coast of the Land of Fire. The facility was massive and held hundreds of people in dire need of isolation and mental/physical care. It wasn't considered an asylum, it was a respected Help-Center for those who are in desperate need of the care they provided.
The workers and therapists regularly brought in drug addicts and ninja with urgent help with personal ordeals. For someone like Sasuke, it was to help him let go of his anger and regain stability in his life. The area he was assigned to had a huge dormitory for girls and boys and he was given an entire room to himself. The Center also had a large training field for shinobi residents such as Sasuke and his dorm-mates. Most of the people in his dormitory were his age and were also ninja. Some of which were from Konoha like him.
Sasuke was regularly seen in this training field during the day, according to the first report Kakashi was given. And he was still training vigorously.
Kakashi had been given another detailed report by the Hokage, and was given information on Sasuke's mental and physical progress. Mentally; he was not yet sound. In fact, was still very violent and had to be restrained more than twice a day whenever he misbehaved. He was given therapy regularly, and had been consoled to vent out his frustration by exercising and training in the open fields of the Rehabilitation Center.
Kakashi knew deep down that Sasuke would never let go of his incorrect feelings toward his ex-teammate. Kakashi knew this kid all too well for him to sum that up. If Sasuke could hold a grudge against Itachi for this long, then surely he will hold a grudge just as fierce for Naruto. After all, Naruto was the person responsible for his failure to obtain greater and more terrifying power from the Snake-Sannin himself.
Kakashi was actually starting to grow more and more uneasy as he read the full report about Sasuke's behavior. He read about his violent outbursts and tendencies. How he would stay isolated and alone for hours on end, writing things his therapist told him to write down if he were angry. And he would write down some of the most provocative things about his brother and Naruto. He even drew violent pictures in black ink, depicting brutal and inhumane tortures being inflicted upon Naruto, Itachi, Sakura, and even Kakashi. Some of the drawings even made Kakashi feel a bit queasy just looking at them. But on a lighter note, his drawings became less violent and his wrathful fits of anger started to subdue in the past few months. But that didn't exactly stop Sasuke from thinking about his teammates being subjected to his disturbing imagination.
"Who needs Sasuke Uchiha on the team, when I could always ask for one of the cenobites." Kakashi thought out loud.
When he reached the end of the report, it was revealed that Sasuke had been pushing himself farther in his self-taught training. He had been gradually increasing his speed and strength. It was also reported that Sasuke was updating and changing his Ferocious Fist taijutsu and somehow improved his lightning techniques. Kakashi immediately face-palmed himself for the umpteenth time for these past four months. He had Sasuke copy and reflect Lee's taijutsu that entire month for the Exam Finals. And given the fact that he had been modifying the stances and practicing in it ritualistically was not a good sign at all.
Sasuke, Kakashi feared, was growing too powerful, too quickly.
Kakashi soon realized that Naruto would be in the greatest danger if he was not aware of this turn of events. He would have to start training him, and soon. If he wanted to protect Naruto from whatever techniques Sasuke had planned up his sleeve for when he would return.
Konoha Barbeque Joint, Downtown 12:59 p.m.
"-And that is how you properly harvest radishes!" Choji ended with a proud smile as the entire group of Genin waited for their plates of barbequed meat to arrive.
Shikamaru, along with everyone else, looked incredibly bored and hungry, "That was riveting, Choji."
Choji smiled more, "I know! Right?"
"Meh." came the unison response out of everyone else.
"…Well, I thought it was cool…" Choji said offhandedly.
The smell of cooking meat filled the entire barbeque restaurant. Hot steam rolled out of the windows of the kitchen and flooded into the rest of the building in the form of a delectable, meaty scent mixed with various spices and sauces. The members of Team 10 were given a huge payments from their last mission. So they decided that they would share their wealth with the rest of their good friends and decided to get a barbeque lunch on their Saturday off. Everyone was now gathered at the largest table in the restaurant, waiting for their meal to finally arrive. The chefs were taking a full thirty minutes to cook up their order and everyone was soon getting hungry and irritable.
The doors of the restaurant rung open and a familiar voice made itself known. Ino looked over from the rest of the group and saw Kiba had finally arrived. He had to stay home and put his families dogs back into the kennel that morning and it took up until now for him to finish.
"Hey, Kiba's finally here." Ino pointed out.
Naruto pounded his fist onto to table with a thud and yelled, "Aw, crap!"
Most of Naruto's friends looked at him strangely.
"What? Are you and Kiba having a fight or something?" Hinata asked.
"No. Kiba learned about reverse-psychology." Naruto moaned.
Shikamaru looked uninterested and yet he asked, "So, what?"
"So, he's annoying now." Naruto answered.
Just then, Kiba rushed to the table and said excitedly, holding his hands out in a fit of excitement, "Hey you guys! Whatever you do, do not give me your food when it comes!"
Naruto moaned and retreated into his jacket to bottle up his frustration. While everyone else looked bemused.
"The indigestion from all that food, would hurt so bad, if you guys just gave me all of your food and your money!"
Naruto started making uninterpretable irritated noises from inside his jacket as he heard all of this.
Lee looked around before he said, "Okay then Kiba-kun, take a seat right here."
Kiba still stood up and said, "First, I have to go to the bathroom. Don't you guys try to put anything extra on my plate when I'm gone!" Kiba said with emphasis in his voice as if he were literally asking them to do it.
He soon turned around and strut to the bathroom with a skip in his step.
Choji looked around and then got excited after he had vanished, "Hey you guys," he whispered for the rest of the group to hear, "We should freaking give him all our food and cash!"
"Choji, SHUT IT!" Naruto yelled through his jacket.
The Next Day…
The following morning was something to look forward to for Naruto. Sakura would be going to her new training program that her parents arranged. Today, she would probably be going to the hospital and start her first attending classes on medical ninjutsu, all being taught by Lady Tsunade herself. The Slug-Sannin was working at the hospital and was teaching ninja and kunoichi of all ages with the capabilities of learning the medicinal arts. Sakura would be learning, among many other people, how to focus her chakra and use the Mystical Palm Technique to heal her comrades on the battlefield.
Naruto was glad that he would not have to deal with her for the day. And he was very excited since Kakashi would be training him while Jiraiya was out of the village. Before he left Naruto a few weeks ago, he told him that he was running investigations on the Akatsuki and fulfilling missions for the Sandiame. Therefore, he left his training in Kakashi's capable hands. Sure, Naruto was a little upset that he wasn't spending anytime with his Uncle Jiraiya. But at least he would be spending his time with someone he liked.
He quickly got dressed in his usual outfit of a red t-shirt, olive-colored pants, and navy blue jacket. He then quickly made his way out of his apartment building and Apparated in the middle of his jump off the railing. Scaring several bigoted elderly civilians in the process.
Godric's Hollow Graveyard by Alexandre Desplat
He reappeared and landed on the hard earth of Training Ground Three. Naruto couldn't see Kakashi anywhere until he turned around to see his sensei in front of the Hero's Memorial. Kakashi was just standing there, staring at the names of the people he said he had lost in his life. Naruto then slowly approached him and stood next to him, looking at all of the names that were carved into the beautiful, shining black rock. Naruto saw the two names Hakoda and Kya Umino engraved with the rest of the people dated to have died on the fateful night of October 10th. Naruto inwardly cringed and felt slightly unworthy to gaze upon those two names.
'Don't worry… It wasn't your fault, Little one…' Harry comforted Naruto.
Naruto looked away from Iruka's parents, and gazed upon a recently engraved name. A huge lump welled up in his throat at the sight of this particular name.
Hayate Gekko.
One of the best friends Naruto had ever known. Back in the days when Naruto was a small child, before he had met Harry, Naruto was taken care of by this particular young man. Hayate was one of the few people in Naruto's life that treated him with genuine kindness and unconditional love. When Naruto turned six years old, Hayate was forced to leave and return to his original genin team and the pair didn't see each other again for years. He and the boy eventually reunited after the preliminary matches of the Chunin Exams last year. Hayate had accidentally stumbled upon Naruto's secret (Naruto protecting them both with a Shield Charm) and was filled in on all the details and entrusted with the secret as Iruka was. Hayate had kept true to his word and during Kakashi's forced-abandonment, he began teaching Naruto the ways of the sword. Together, for most of the entire month; Naruto, Hayate, and Iruka spent almost each and every day together. Training, eating, laughing, joking, and occasionally smoke weed together. But all of the fun and happiness came to an abrupt halt when Hayate disappeared. Several days after his disappearance, Naruto found his corpse left behind in an alleyway. Naruto was left devastated by his death, but thanks to some support from Iruka and Iruka's girlfriend Anko, Naruto was able to move on.
Though, that didn't exactly help him when he found out that the person that killed him was Kabuto Yakushi. The traitor was not left unscathed, Hayate had given him a very ugly scar on his face before he was killed. Naruto practically let the fox take control of him when Kabuto revealed this to him and mocked Naruto, telling him that it was because of Naruto's intervention of Orochimaru's plans that led him to his death. The most Naruto was able to do to avenge poor Hayate, was that he too gave Kabuto another hideous facial scar with his own sword and burned Kabuto, combining his first successful Rasengan with the Patronus Charm.
Kabuto's words still digging in deep into his brain, Naruto felt the tears build up in his eyes at the sight of the kanji letters and was close to just sobbing right then and there. But he resisted it to a degree. Naruto wiped his eyes and breathed in through his nose, sucking his runny nose back up.
Naruto continued to lower his gaze and read the names of the ninja that had sacrificed their lives for the people of this village and were declared hero's. Naruto then noticed one particular name, the name that he noticed his sensei was currently staring at.
Obito Uchiha.
Naruto noticed that Kakashi looked at this name before when he first administered the team to the bell-test. It was the name he was exclusively looking at when he told Team 7 that his closest friends name's were engraved into that stone. It was actually some time after he was reading Obito's name the second time, did Naruto finally notice that Kakashi was resting his hand on his shoulder as he continued to look at his name. Naruto felt obliged and allowed his sensei to continue to lean on him lightly. Kakashi was smiling beneath his mask as he read his dear friend's name once more. He finally began to smile as he read Obito's name and he prayed silently.
'Obito, this the student I have told you about… Naruto… He's a lot like you, you know… It's one of the reason I love keeping him around, even if he ever gets on my nerves sometimes… Out of the rest of my students, Naruto is pretty much the only one who is actually sane… You're nephew is an emotionally crippled narcissist with a bloodlust so powerful it would make little children cry upon looking at him. And Sakura is an anal-retentive train wreck that is steadily becoming more deadly to men everywhere. Quite frankly, those two students of mine scare me so much I may as well change my pants when I ever get nearby either of them…'
Naruto knelt don to his knees and slowly withdrew his wand. Naruto waved it over the Hero's Memorial and whispered, "Orchideous!"
Kakashi stared as he saw his student successfully conjure a wreath of white roses. Naruto carefully placed them at the base of the grave and stood up as tears began to pour down his cheeks.
"I'm so sorry, Haya-Hayate..." he whispered.
Kakashi squeezed Naruto's shoulder affectionately, feeling incredibly guilty at doubting Naruto's bond to Hayate during his funeral.
He closed his eyes before he looked back at Obito, 'I'm not going to let this one go, Obito… I may have lost Sasuke before I even had a chance to help him, but I won't lose Naruto that easily… Now if you'll excuse me, I have to train him… Watch me, my dear friend…'
Kakashi concluded his prayer and regained his place in real life.
"Good-morning, Naruto!" he said, backing away from the memorial.
Naruto now stood tall before his sensei, ready to learn what he had in store for him.
"Seeing as we are currently minus one student, I will be training you for the entire day, Naruto. I bet you were looking forward this moment for quite a while, huh?" Kakashi asked.
Naruto tilted his head to the left and gazed up into the sky dramatically.
"Sure. Once. But that, was a long time ago." Naruto said in an overly dramatic voice.
Kakashi chuckled, "Enough of the sarcasm kiddo, let's get started."
He then cleared his throat and prepared to inform Naruto of the Sasuke-Situation.
"Naruto, today we are going to begin your training. But first I must inform you to an important lecture- Don't give me that look!" Kakashi said out loud just as soon as Naruto rolled his eyes at the idea of a lecture.
Kakashi then stared at Naruto seriously, "Naruto, this information is very important. And it involves some news on our old-friend Sasuke."
Naruto's ears perked up at the mention of his mortal enemy and he paid attention with one-hundred percent of his concentrated effort.
"Interested, now?" Kakashi asked.
"I'm still here, aren't I?" Naruto asked charismatically.
Kakashi sighed as he lifted his two fingers up to his own lips out of habit, "Here is the news; Sasuke is currently residing at the Rehabilitation Center. That much you know, right?"
Naruto nodded.
"Good. Then, you should know that Sasuke and the other shinobi residents are given a wide-spread of recreational land to exercise and train. They are allowed to practice physical recreation and practice ninjutsu as they please." Kakashi explained.
"Oh-no!" Naruto moaned.
Kakashi nodded and continued, "That's right. With the time he spends there and the hours of practice he spends, chances are that Sasuke will be a much greater force to be reckoned with whenever he returns. His last reports indicated that he's already increased in strength and power. He is said to have been able to accomplish four full Chidori thrusts a day. I wasn't even able to perform that many when I was his age."
Naruto hung his head, "I'm pretty much screwed then, aren't I?"
Kakashi shook his head, "Not necessarily Naruto. This is why I have called you here to train. I'm going to help you better defend yourself against Sasuke if he ever gets the chance to repeat his little mistake at the Valley of the End."
Naruto wasn't sure what kind of training Kakashi could possibly provide him that would help overcome Sasuke in a fight. The only reason Naruto even defeated him was by a fluke. Naruto had no idea that the Patronus Charm could even work on a person with the Curse Seal of Heaven. Naruto remembered how the pure energies of his happiest memories burnt off the layers of Sasuke's cursed gray skin like an onion. Naruto should have lost that fight, it was only pure luck that he managed to win.
"Now I know what you must be thinking, Naruto. You think that you might not be able to defeat Sasuke. Seeing as Jiraiya is too busy to help you out, and that Sasuke has had something of a head start with his Sharingan and all… But let me tell you something, having an ability such as the Sharingan will not always guarantee you a victory in every battle…"
"I know that, Kaka-sensei. The Sharingan is unable to copy jutsu's from another Kekkei Genkai. That's the only exception to the Sharingan. And that's one thing I don't have."
Kakashi walked over to Naruto and poked his forehead with his long index finger. Naruto twitched at the strange contacted and rubbed the spot he poked. And then Naruto's eyes widened when he realized that Kakashi was indicating to his lightning-shaped scar.
"Oh, yeah!" Naruto realized.
Kakashi nodded, "Your magic is one thing that Sasuke is unable to ever duplicate. It technically counts as a Kekkei Genkai. But one thing that you don't know, is that there are other things that true Sharingan user have never and will never be able to learn."
Naruto tilted his head in confusion, "Huh?"
Kakashi eye-smiled at Naruto's confused expression, 'I love it when he does that...'
"Regardless of what you may think or know, Naruto, the Uchiha clan have been and still remain limited. No force on this earth is unlimited. All things have strengths and weaknesses. That is the way life works. Nothing can ever be truly unlimited." Kakashi said.
"It is true that they have the capabilities to learn and see through almost every form of taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu. But they are incapable of learning or obtaining techniques from other kekkei genkai and are also incapable of learning a small variety of certain special forms of techniques using their doujutsu."
Naruto looked very enthusiastic. He had always thought that the Uchiha clan could master all jutsu if they desired, "What exactly are you telling me, Kaka-sensei?"
"I'm telling you, Naruto, that I know a certain technique that you can master, and Sasuke can't with his old cheating habits."
Naruto's eyes opened considerably and he quickly became giddy with excitement. So much, in fact, that he was shaking. Clearly eager to get up and learn whatever Kakashi had in store.
"What technique is it?" he asked quickly.
Kakashi smirked underneath his mask, "It's a style of taijutsu that my sensei developed over the years. He taught it to me, once I was one of the remaining members of my old squad, while I was still in the ANBU. It took me months of training for my body to adjust to it and master perfectly, but the results were worth it."
"How come Sasuke can't learn it himself, again?" Naruto asked.
Kakashi pointed his index finger upward as he elaborated, "This taijutsu style is way too complicated for his body to react to it, let alone memorize the patterns and copy it with his Sharingan. Sasuke relies on his doujutsu far too much. He doesn't learn anything through true experience and hard work, like you or I have."
Naruto smiled at Kakashi's compliment.
"He uses his Sharingan to analyze every aspect of his training. He copies something he has observed and then practices it later. Try to think of someone at public school who instead of writing his own material for a report, decides to copy and paste someone else's piece on that subject, only he just re-words certain sentences and key facts, and calls it his own. . . That's what he's done with my Chidori. I taught to him, so he could protect you and Sakura. But instead, he copied it, learned it, and tried to use it for the terrible things he has done and might plan to do!"
Naruto's smile disappeared and didn't say a thing as Kakashi went on his slightly angry rant. He backed away a little as Kakashi's words grew more and more intense. Obviously showing that he was still rightfully pissed off that Sasuke had abused his technique.
Kakashi cooled down and recollected himself.
"Anyway, the taijutsu style I'm going to try and teach you over the next few months requires a lot of circular foot and hand movements, that the Sharingan cannot analyze quick enough to comprehend, let alone copy. That's what makes it so difficult for an Uchiha to try and master. Even Minato-sensei regretfully told my teammate Obito that it was too complex for him to try to learn. The Uchiha clan lack the physical prowess and flexibility to accomplish it, that's one thing you and I share in common when it comes to taijutsu. Natural physical capabilities."
Naruto starred attentively.
"I am able to accomplish it due to the White-Chakra that flows so quickly throughout my body. And you can master it due to your magic-blood and- Um…"
Kakashi really didn't want to talk down to Naruto about the Nine-Tails, so he quickly gestured to his own stomach and made a swirling movement with his finger.
"Oh!" Naruto realized. "So, what's this taijutsu called, sensei?" the blonde asked.
"Ba Gua." Kakashi stated simply.
(A/N: I'm not sure if I'm entirely spot on accurate in this specific type of martial art. I'm just trying to give myself more of a challenge in writing a fight scene. I hope that I'm somewhat accurate when it comes to his style of combat.)
He gestured Naruto to get up off the ground from his seat on the ground. Naruto now stood ready to take a hit as Kakashi began to demonstrate the smooth movements of the mysterious martial art. Kakashi had quickly summoned a clone of himself only he guised in all black clothes. Kakashi held his left arm out in front of him, while his right arm hung under his outstretched left arm. He had his clone pose a regular fighting stance as Kakashi slowly encircled his clone. His footsteps, Naruto noticed constantly switched positions as his teacher gracefully moved across the ground.
"This is also known as Circle-Walking Taijutsu. I'm going to warn you now, this style of taijutsu is not like any other form of taijutsu that is taught regularly in the village. It is very difficult to learn. It is a martial art that will, in time, enable you to exhaust and overwhelm many of your opponents."
"Exhaust and overwhelm?" Naruto asked.
"I got the idea to teach you this while I watched your fight with Kiba a while ago. I noticed how you were dodging him and waiting for him to get tired. After he was tired, you knocked him down and defeated him." Kakashi inquired.
"…Oh, yeah… I was just using common sense at the time, sensei…" Naruto said modestly while he blushed lightly and rubbed the back of his head.
"That's actually the reason I thought this up for you. The key to Ba Gua is to not let your opponent get a solid hold of you. You must work around and encircle your enemy, rather than strike out and hit them as hard as you can. It doesn't work that way. You must work around your opponent and simply out-maneuver them, until they grow tired. After you've accomplished that, you strike them down with full-force. And then-"
Kakashi's clone made many moves of basic taijutsu to knock him out, but Kakashi dodged with graceful flexibility practically like it was some sort of choreographed dance in an aggressive ballet. The original Kakashi flexed around and slammed his clone to the ground when it didn't expect it. The blow caused the dark copy to be slammed onto the ground and burst into white smoke.
"-Just like that. Your opponent is defeated." Kakashi said very coolly as he looked to Naruto in a glance to the side.
"Whoa…" Naruto awed quietly.
Kakashi then looked towards Naruto and offered him to approach him.
"To start you off, I will test you on how long you can hold out in a normal fight. To see if you are agile enough to learn this style... Get ready to attack me, Naruto. Approach me with the intent to kill if you must."
Naruto soon looked determined at the opportunity to spar with his sensei.
"Alright! Here I come!" he shout as he sprint forward.
Kakashi made no attempt to move out of the way, but instead stood a defensive stance and waited a few brief seconds for Naruto to rapidly approach him at speeds a little advanced for his age. Naruto threw the first blow with a right hook to Kakashi's side. Kakashi blocked it as Naruto made a smart move and grasped onto his wrist, grasping the cloth of his glove so he would not lose his grasp. Naruto tried to lunge his body weight and threw himself at Kakashi in the hopes that he would lose his balance and collapse on top of him. Kakashi managed to swiftly slip out of Naruto's tight grip and back himself away for more defense. Naruto landed his feet upon the sturdy ground and focused some chakra into the soles of his shoes and disappeared in a blur of color. Kakashi was shocked at his sudden disappearance but his advanced senses allowed him to sense where he would reappear and blocked the blonde's right fist from coming into contact with his face in a haymaker. The punch didn't actually feel like Naruto was putting that much effort into hitting him. Kakashi made a quick move to swiftly push him back to instruct him, but also to show him an example of the swift power of the taijutsu he was hoping to teach him.
"Naruto. You're not putting enough effort into hitting me, are you?" he called out.
Naruto shrugged and called back, "Well, I'm not exactly in the mood to kill you like I was a few months ago! If you asked me to have spared you then, I would have been more than happy to try and pummel ya!" Naruto answered honestly.
'That's so nice of you to say, Naruto…' Harry commented with a smile.
Kakashi sweat-dropped and thought for a second before he came up with an idea.
"Pretend that I betrayed you all over again!" he suggested.
"What do you think I've been trying to do, sensei? That doesn't work!" he yelled back.
Kakashi rubbed his temples and tried to think of something quick. He then got an idea he was absolutely sure that he would probably regret, but what else would royally piss Naruto off?
Kakashi yelled out with such reluctance, "Pretend I destroyed Ichiraku Ramen and threw away all of the world's supply of ramen noodles and English tea into the ocean to be eaten by parasites that look like Sasuke!"
Naruto's face suddenly turned livid and he roared out in a battle cry that almost sounded like a lion. Naruto suddenly forgot all logic or deceptive strategies that would have become useful to him and focused both his chakra and his magic into his shoes and sprint to Kakashi at speeds way too fast for even the jounin to comprehend. Naruto reappeared in front of him and drove his foot deep into his crotch.
Kakashi's eyes almost popped out of his sockets and he let out a high-pitched scream that echoed across a majority of the forest around them both. Causing birds to be frightened from the tress and fly away in a swarm.
"How dare you threaten the two most precious items in my consumer life!" Naruto roared.
Naruto did not hold back and started kicking him in the chest as his teacher screamed like a girl and clenched his privates. Harry soon started yelling for Naruto to stop.
'NARUTO! For the love of God, you're killing him! STOP!'
It took a split second for the blonde to get the picture and stop hurting his now fetal sensei.
Naruto quickly calmed down and horrifically realized what he had done to him.
"Oh my God, sensei! I am so effing sorry! I didn't mean to do that! I am so sorry!"
Kakashi's eyes rolled up as squeaked out, "It's okay…I deserved that… for being an idiot… At least I can tell how powerful you are…"
'Oh! My cash and prizes!' he sobbed mentally.
Naruto helped carry Kakashi's heavy body from the ground and carefully had him sit down with his legs spread out on a soft patch of grass underneath one of the trees. Kakashi cupped his private area with both of his hands and tried his best to breath slowly and let the feeling in his testicular area to return. Although to him, it felt as if it would take an eternity for that to even happen.
Naruto moved quickly and summoned some water with his wand and turned it into ice for Kakashi to rest on his burning privates. All the while Kakashi moaned in pain as Naruto tried to apologize another three times. Kakashi held his finger to him lips to indicate for Naruto to be quiet. Naruto humbly sat down quietly and waited for Kakashi to recollect himself. Kakashi soon started breathing normally, and the pain in his groin lessened enough for him to start talking.
Kakashi coughed, and could have sworn that he tasted some of his own blood. He tried leaning upon the tree and then spoke with difficulty, "Well Naruto, if you can't beat Sasuke in a regular spar, you can always give him a nutcracker surprise…"
Kakashi and Naruto both chuckled. But Kakashi's laugh had to be cut short due to another pain wave that was making it's way to his private area.
"…The good news, is that I know how fast and strong you are in combat… Owie…" Kakashi moaned as Naruto looked more sorry, "…Your speed is perfect enough for you to be fast enough to learn Ba Gua. Your strength alone speaks for itself…Starting tomorrow… your training will begin…"
Naruto smiled at the fact that he was now approved for learning to master this new art of taijutsu.
"Alright! Sorry about your balls, sensei…" he added offhandedly.
Kakashi closed his eyes and simply said with an exasperated sigh, "It's okay, Naruto. I was the one who provoked you in the first place. This will conclude today's practice…Now, can you help me get to the hospital… I'm going to need an IV…"
The next day started bright and early for Naruto when he woke up at dawn. He finished his daily morning ritual and quickly got dress in his usual outfit and magically locked the door to his small home. All before he stopped at a vendor and grabbed a bite to eat for breakfast and then Apparated to the secluded training grounds.
Once Naruto arrived, he waited for Kakashi to show up. After the first thirty minutes of waiting, Naruto ultimately realized that Kakashi would probably be late this morning due to the unrelenting cruelty he unleashed onto his sensei's manhood. He remembered the previous day that he felt obligated and had to carry him all the way to the hospital. Thankfully, Naruto had very good connections with Tsunade and managed to convince her to heal Kakashi as a top priority. Once that was over with, and once the guilt began to fade away, Naruto felt pretty confidant that his sensei would be alright…and late.
Harry called Naruto to enter into his mindscape after the first forty minutes passed by. Naruto sat down with his legs crossed and put his hands together as he slowly closed his eyes. Naruto would usually be able to enter his mind under certain conditions. The first condition was when Naruto was rendered into REM sleep or unconscious. The second condition was when Naruto was forced within by some stressful or extreme emotional condition. And the most recently discovered condition was when Naruto meditated. Wherein he would force himself into entry simply using mental energy he drew out of relaxation and concentration.
Naruto soon materialized into the massive bedroom that belonged to Harry. There he stood ready for Naruto to fully substantiate before him.
Once he was finally there, Harry said, "While you're waiting for Cyclops to show up, how about we practice some new level spells?"
Naruto frowned at how Harry generalized his teacher but then became excited at the mention of learning new spells.
"What are you gonna teach me? Hair-loss spells? Jelly-Legs Jinx? Teach me how to tie up someone's tongue! I'm old enough now!" Naruto jumped up and down hyperactively as if he were six again.
Harry held his hands up and down and said, "Calm down, calm down, Little one! You're thirteen years old, start acting like it. We're going see if you are capable of learning wandless magic. If not that, we will brush you up on your basic combat training."
Naruto's head fell as he sighed. He followed Harry into the separate chamber on Harry's side of the mindscape. The second chamber contained a massive dojo-styled training chamber. This room, like all the others in the mindscape, had no visible ceiling. Except this room reflected the outside sky of the present time. Harry entered a complex circle in the direct center that had multiple circles within it. Each smaller circle representing a separate carving of each basic element of magic all engraved in Ancient Runes.
(A/N: It's the Merlin Circle)
Harry put his hands behind his back and faced his little brother.
"The key to performing wandless magic is similar to Occlumency training. It requires complete control over your emotions. You must first empty your mind of all emotion and focus your magical energy into the palm of your hand."
Harry held out his right hand and kept it open.
"Think of your arm as your wand. Focus the magic from within, up and out into your arm and out of the tiny center of your palm. The incantation can either be verbal or nonverbal. Since you have yet to learn to perform nonverbal spells, you will stick with using your words. No matter how bad you pronounce some of them" Harry teased, baring his teeth in a silly smile.
Naruto growled irritably in response.
"See! That's an example! Naruto, you must empty your mind, you know those steps. Let all hatred, sadness, confusion, anger, and everything else go for one brief second. Do not rely on any of your emotions to force the spell out, let it come to you naturally and let it flow…" Harry calmly advised.
Naruto closed his eyes and momentarily forgotten all of the past hatred he has felt for the ignorant villagers, the arrogant Sasuke, hateful Sakura, and everything else. He let go of his fear of the Akatsuki slip away from him in a moment of peaceful ignorance. He temporarily forgot all of the ties with the people whose hearts he had touched and they all faded away into nothing for one brief second. Naruto then focused his magic starting from the source of it all, his stomach. He concentrated the energies and felt them flow through his arm and come up to his hand. He remembered that Harry told him to focus it all on one set point and deeply focused the energy to start erupting from a single point at the center of his palm. If Naruto had his eyes open, he would have seen a column of greenish-blue smoke course out of Naruto's hand like a solar flare.
Harry then quickly told him to, "Stop!"
Naruto opened his eyes and kept asking, "What? What is it? Did I do it?"
Harry walked over to Naruto and said, "That was incredible, Naruto! That was so much better than I expected out of your first time trying! The only problem was that you were focusing too much magic to come out. I could see it was overflowing out of your hand like crazy."
Naruto looked at his hand and was surprised that he actually managed to perform the exercise.
"I did it?" he gasped.
Harry nodded but then shared his concern, "Yes, you did. But if you had performed a spell, the effects would have most likely have been highly destructive. If you had used a simple Knockback-Jinx it would have sent you soaring back at the force of the spell… You need to focus on accomplishing better, much more stable control…"
Naruto looked back to his palm in amazement. He had no idea he had such raw, destructive power.
"I understand that you'll most likely start practicing this on your own. But don't. This kind of magic is a little bit too big for your britches. You are only permitted to practice in this chamber under my careful supervision. Is that understood, Little one?" Harry asked strictly.
Naruto nodded, fully understanding how dangerous all that power could be. But then again, the kind of explosion he could cause would be more impressive than any of Naruto's Blasting Charms. Not to mention, it would be a ton of fun to see what would happen.
Harry suddenly perked up and yelled at Naruto, "You have your devious face on!"
Naruto quickly tried to hide his smile with difficulty.
"I don't know what your talking about!" he tried his best to hide.
"You're planning on doing something stupid! I know it!" Harry accusingly pointed.
"I am not!"Naruto teasingly retorted.
"Don't make me use Legilimens on you, kiddo!" he threatened playfully.
"Nah!"Naruto rebuked immaturely, while he stuck his tongue out.
"You're gonna get it!" Harry shouted, running out of the Merlin Circle and toward his little brother.
Naruto tried to run out of the room and out of the mindscape, but Harry tackled him to the ground and gave him a noogie before he could even escape.
"Confess! Confess!" Harry roared jokingly while he rubbed at Naruto's scalp.
"Ahhhh! Okay! I won't try it! I won't use it to set the Uchiha complex on fire!" he screamed back and laughed.
Harry finally let him go and smiled, "I knew you were going to try that! I knew it!"
Before Naruto could even calm down enough to brush up on his new spells, Kakashi must have arrived. Since Naruto currently felt as if someone invisible were poking his head. Naruto tried to ignore it, but soon he felt as if the invisible person were shaking him. Soon, Naruto began to disappear in front of Harry and fade back into reality.
Naruto soon gasped as he felt himself reawaken in the presence of his sensei.
"Wow! Now that was some serious commitment to concentration, Naruto…" he said, surprised that Naruto managed to meditate with such determination.
Becoming One of "The People" by James Horner
Naruto and Kakashi stood across from each other. They went through a very long session of the first and most basic movements to accomplish Ba Gua. Kakashi had Naruto memorize the multiple foot movements that enabled him to move around his opponent so smoothly. It took awhile for Naruto to get them right, but he managed to get the footwork down within the first half-hour.
Next, Kakashi had Naruto go through several waving motions and movements with his arms while he continuously rehearsed his foot movements. Naruto had to visualize him himself escaping the grasp and move around his non-existent opponent. He typically held his left arm close to his chest while he commonly thrusted his right arm for offensive strikes and for pulling out of his opponents hold. It took another thirty minutes just to get two of the first movements down. Naruto soon went through the swings and swipes once more, occasionally switching his offensive and defensive arms everytime he faced his invisible target differently.
Kakashi then taught Naruto to focus chakra into his feet. And instead of using it only to increase his speed, Naruto had him basically keep his feet planted to the ground, like he did with the Tree-Climbing Practice in the Land of Waves. With his feet focused to the ground like that, his feet were basically like the heavy treads of a huge truck. This was important for Naruto in case he was in an environment that had terrains that could cause him to fall over. With enough focus on his feet, anything that is caught in his foot-path would be thrashed out of his way without natural interference.
Naruto still had yet to memorize his foot patterns until he didn't have to think about them while he used his arms to fight. Kakashi would occasionally stop him and have him repeat certain movements until he got them right. He carefully made sure that Naruto would not advance until he fully took in every aspect of the movements he taught him.
The taijutsu training took up the rest of the entire day. Kakashi didn't stop sparing and carefully instructing Naruto until the sky turned deep orange in color. It was only then, and when both ninja, both student and teacher were dirty and dripping wet with sweat. Kakashi looked over to Naruto and asked him, "Naruto! What time is it?"
Naruto wiped away some dirt from his wristwatch and read, "Ten minutes 'til eight!" he called back to his sensei.
Kakashi sighed tiredly, "Then I guess that's enough for today…"
Naruto soon found his jacket and wrapped the sleeves around his waist. Kakashi grabbed his Jounin flak jacket and threw it back on without zipping it back up. Naruto and Kakashi then started walking out of the training ground and closed the high fenced area and locked it for the night. They both turned around and lazily walked up the path back to the village.
While they walked through the village, several villagers and fellow ninja took second glances at the pair. Noticing that they were both absolutely filthy with dirt and grass stains. Several villagers whispered to their companions and one or two of them rushed away. Other normal civilians tried to snap a picture of Naruto using their camera phones while he walked by. They quickly stopped bothering them when Kakashi gave the gathering paparazzi a nasty death-glare, causing them to run away from the famous Copy-Nin fearfully.
Satisfied, Naruto and his teacher walked off toward the restaurant district of town. Both of them hadn't had a bite to eat since breakfast. Not the best idea to not eat lunch that day.
The pair walked down to Ichiraku Ramen, neither one of them thought to say anything to the other both wanting nothing more than good ramen in their stomach's. Kakashi pulled back the curtain of the restaurant and let the overpowering aroma of cooking noodles fill his sensitive nose and cause his mouth to water. Naruto took in a deep breath and a whiff of the heavenly smell and sighed.
"Well, look who it is, Iruka!" called out the voice of Teuchi Ichiraku.
Naruto and Kakashi both looked up to see Iruka also clearly dirty from a mission he was on that day. He was already sitting down at a stool, about to order a bowl of ramen for himself. He smiled when he saw the two come in and asked with a laugh, "What the hell happened to you two?"
Naruto quickened his pace as he sat down in the stool next to him and spun around upon sitting, "Kakashi-sensei is teaching me advanced taijutsu!" he said, somehow summoning up more energy into talking.
Iruka looked at Kakashi and said while he gave him a look of approval, "Are you now?"
Kakashi eye-smiled and sat down next to Naruto, "He's a slow learner, but he's got the basics down… Actually, I'll give you more credit than that, you're actually a little bit further than I was when I got the basics down. It took me three days to get to where you are now…"
'Hell yes, bitch.' Harry said to himself.
Iruka raised one of his eyebrows, "Really? You're kidding…"
Kakashi shrugged, "It's the truth."
Iruka grabbed one of Naruto's shoulder's lightly in a gesture of proud accomplishment.
"There you go, buddy! You're on a roll!" he said proudly.
Naruto smiled, "Who knew that thirteen is the new twenty?"
Kakashi's stomach growled loudly, and grabbed a menu that lay nearby, "Alright! I'll get a medium-sized bowl of…how about Saury-flavored ramen? That sounds good…!" he said with some excitement in his voice.
Naruto and Iruka didn't look at the menu, they both knew exactly what they wanted.
"Miso-Chicken with a pinch of spice, please!" Naruto and Iruka said in unison together.
Ayame wrote down their orders and asked, "Large or medium?"
"Large!" they both answered.
Ayame smiled and said, "Comin' right up! Dad! Two usual Umino-Uzumaki bowls and one medium Saury-flavor for the handsome gentleman."
Kakashi blushed and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment while Iruka and Naruto laughed.
"Looks like Kakashi's got a secret admirer! Huh, Naruto?" Iruka laughed.
"How many does that make for a man with probably one testicle?" Naruto joked back.
Kakashi gave both of them death-glares.
"Naruto, if you weren't my student, you would be dead. Iruka, if you weren't a friend, you would be clenching your crotch and rolling on the ground in pain." he said with a low growl.
Iruka looked shocked, "Wow…I'm a friend of Kakashi Hatake… I feel so honored…"
Naruto laughed, "We're just having a laugh, Kaka-sensei!"
Kakashi grasped Naruto's shoulder tightly, and said to Naruto in a terrifyingly sweet voice, "But I thought we both agreed that we would never bring that up in public. Remember?"
Naruto paled slightly, "Right. Sorry."
Kakashi went back to looking back into the kitchen and tried to get his mind off of his previously injured manhood.
When their order's finally came in, the three males were about to dig into their delectable meal slowly. Both Naruto and Iruka waited for Kakashi to eat first. They both were hoping to see what he truly hid behind that mysterious mask of his. Kakashi pulled out some chop-sticks and then slowly reached his fingers to his mask to pull it down to reveal his face and eat his eagerly awaited noodles. Iruka hung his hands on top of Naruto's shoulders, trying to get a look. When he had reached his apartment after his pep-talk with Kakashi about Naruto, he realized that he did actually take a drink with him pulling his mask down in the process. When this finally hit him, and he realized that he missed a golden opportunity to see his face, Iruka roared out the f-word at the top of his lungs.
Naruto stared so intently at his sensei while he gripped Iruka's hands with shared anticipation. So much, in fact, that it felt as if everything around him had decided to move in slow-motion. Naruto tried his very best to be patient.
Naruto and Iruka held their breath together as Kakashi began to pull down his mask. He had pulled the dark cloth almost half-way down his nose, when suddenly Sakura appeared out of nowhere and said loudly towards Kakashi, "Hello, Kakashi-sensei! Medical ninjutsu training is going great!"
"You BEAVER-FACE!" Naruto roared at her angrily for obscuring their view.
'That little bitch!' Iruka yelled in his head as his eyes turned round, white, and livid with anger.
'Mother-f**ker!' Harry yelled in frustration, for he was also watching through Naruto's view.
Sakura hovered over Kakashi long enough for him to finish his meal in a flash. Once finished, Sakura moved out of the way of the two currently seething males and smiled back at them sweetly.
"Just wanted to say hi to sensei! Bye-bye, boys!" she said with her up-beat, high soprano voice.
Sakura then skipped out and away from the restaurant, squealing at the fact that she got to see Kakashi's face before Naruto. Naruto and Iruka both shook with anger when they realized Kakashi had finished eating and pulled his mask back up.
"Ahh~ That was so~ good!"Kakashi sighed in sweet satisfaction. Kakashi took his mind off of his empty bowl and looked at the pair of brothers seething at the retreating Sakura.
Clearly confused, he asked them both, "Was that just Sakura who was hovering over me while I ate?"
Naruto kept starring at the place she vanished and said, "I hate that girl…"
"…Me too, Naruto… Me too…" Iruka growled with him.
Kakashi looked even more confused, "I'm confused…"
Lost Wings by Yuki Kajiura
The trio of boys ultimately decided, once they were all finished with one more bowl of ramen each, that the day was pretty much over for them. And they were all tired and wanted nothing more than a good-night's sleep.
"Now, Naruto. Make sure you get some good sleep and let your muscles fully relax before it's lights out. You have to stay limber for tomorrow's training, got it?" Kakashi checked before he was the first one to leave after he paid for his two bowls.
Naruto nodded tiredly and almost fell off of his stool, he was so exhausted. Iruka didn't even think and instinctively caught Naruto right before he started to lean too far off of the chair. He hunched the blonde wizard on his back and withdrew some money out of his wallet and onto the counter. He was more than willingly pay for the two of them.
Kakashi sighed and reached into his pocket for the spare key he kept with him and offered it to Iruka, "Here. His apartment is probably locked so you'll need this to get in." Kakashi offered.
Iruka shook his head and smiled, "Nah. Naruto can just bunk over at my place for the night. He has a pair of night and day clothes he keeps at my place when he stays with me. I'll be fine with this little bundle of joy."
Kakashi put the key back in his pocket and nodded, "Are you sure it's fine with the little rascal?"
Iruka nudged Naruto's cheek over his shoulder and asked, "Naruto, are you fine with crashing at my place tonight?"
Naruto gave a small, lazy noise of approval and smiled as he buried his face into the clothing on Iruka's back. Absolutely too tired to actually say anything.
Iruka nodded and smiled, "There you have it, Kakashi. We're good!"
Kakashi let the pair exit Ichiraku's first out of respect and watched as Iruka carried his little brother in a piggy-back ride. He smiled as he pulled out his Icha-Icha Paradise and read all the way back to his own humble home.
Iruka carried Naruto all the way back to his apartment with no difficulty. Once inside, he carefully laid him down on his sofa. Iruka looked down at the sleeping blonde and smiled warmly. He chuckled to himself when he remembered the day Naruto first learned to Apparate. He remembered how frightened he was when Naruto suddenly popped up right in front of him, while he was reading on this very same sofa. He was taken by such surprise, he accidentally fell backwards and off of the couch.
He shook his head at the memory and went to his bedroom and rolled out the comfortable reclinable bed for Naruto to sleep in. Iruka still didn't have another bed to put in his guest bedroom, so the reclinable was all he had to settle for when Naruto stayed over.
Iruka soon remembered that he stunk of sweat and grime and so did Naruto. He then moved back into the living room and woke Naruto up enough for him to take a shower first while Iruka would grab his and Naruto clothes for the night.
"Naruto, make sure you don't fall asleep in the shower like last time!" He reminded as he saw Naruto walk into the restroom like a zombie.
"Mmm!" was all he heard from Naruto before he shut the door and the sound of running water was heard.
Iruka only opened the bathroom door to lay Naruto's clothes at the base of the door and made sure he closed his eyes out of respect of privacy. Five minutes later, Naruto was done and fully dressed in his pajamas and collapsed onto his bed next to Iruka's. The older man entered his bathroom with his set of clothes and tended to his nightly cleansing ritual.
Once finished and fully clean of sweat, and what can be accurately described as dirt, Iruka exited his bathroom smelling like strawberries and had his hair down and free of his usual ponytail. He smoothly walked back to his bedroom and turned off every light he had on along the way. He closed his door and walked over to his sleeping little brother and threw a blanket over him for warmth. He tucked him in, just like his mother used to for him and pecked his scarred forehead out of tender affection. Iruka then turned out his bedside lamp and buried himself into his own covers and quickly fell asleep.
Elsewhere, while the village was beginning to slowly shut down and fall sleep for the night. Tsunade was just punching out and leaving the hospital from her twelve-hour shift.
She walked down the streets and slowly made her way back home to the Senju Family Estate, where she lived with Shizune. She only stopped when she came across a familiar chakra signature and ran into a gigantically tall man wearing a big, black ANBU cloak on top of his shinobi-issue armour and had very long and spiky white-hair.
"Hey, Jiraiya…" Tsunade greeted her old-time friend.
Jiraiya gave her a half-hearted smile as he lifted his ANBU mask and revealed himself, "Hey."
Tsunade looked down at the ground as she rested her hands into her pockets, "Have you had any luck yet with our favorite nephew?"
Jiraiya frowned and looked up towards the stars, "No… Sarutobi-sensei has been keeping me too busy… I haven't even talked to him for weeks…"
Tsunade hesitated before she finally chose the right words to say to her friend.
"You know that Sarutobi needs you for these missions… And he's also trying to help Naruto as best as he can… That's what we both want for his sake, Jiraiya…"
Jiraiya nodded, before he put his mask back up and started walking back to the Hokage Tower to report back in.
Tsunade sighed and continued on with her walk, looking forward to chugging down a giant bottle of sake whenever she got home.
Hokage Tower, 1:29 a.m.
The Hokage's office was so eerily quiet that night, as Sarutobi patiently awaited the ANBU to report in their late-night mission's. One in particular, he waited for longer than usual. Jiraiya was supposed to report in to him and inform the Hokage of the news he had been gathering on the Akatsuki and Orochimaru. He sighed as he heard the door of his large office slowly swing open and revealed the tall Toad Sannin himself.
"There you are Jiraiya, my old student. What have you to report?" asked the tired Hokage.
Jiraiya walked over and dropped his reports on his desk, sighing heavily, "Thankfully, the Akatsuki have apparently decided that they will have to stay back and hide out in the dark for a while. Since they know that we are on to them."
Sarutobi looked serious, "How much time do you think we have before they decide to quit hiding?"
Jiraiya informed, "I'm not entirely sure. But I think it's safe to assume that we can remain blissful for about two, maybe three years, give or take."
Sarutobi nodded, "How is your progress on our friends Kabuto and Orochimaru?"
Jiraiya turned away to look at the nighttime sky, "Orochimaru has been suspiciously quiet lately… I would have expected a dramatic retaliation from him ever since he lost his chance to obtain the Sharingan… He must be planning something just like our friends from the Akatsuki…"
Sarutobi took a lungful of his pipe smoke and exhaled before saying, "…Keep your spy network running. Find any sight of and obtain any information you can of any of Orochimaru's minions. You know that he never dirties his hands when he is planning something delicate…"
Jiraiya nodded and then turned away towards the door. He stopped and his eyes became shadowed in the dark. He then spoke in a calm but heavy voice, "How is Naruto going along with his training?"
Sarutobi clunked out some of the used tobacco in his pipe and replaced it with new tobacco before relighting it with a tiny flame on the end of his finger.
"…Kakashi says he still has room for a lot of improvement. He is planning on trying to teach him the ways of staff combat, I believe… He will also continue Naruto's formal sword training... Depending on what he feels is right." he informed simply.
Jiraiya did not appear to be happy about this news, as his large hands were soon balled into tight fists and shook angrily.
Jiraiya started, "You know, you can't keep him away from me forever, sensei… He is my child now and-"
"You've had thirteen years to consider that poor boy as your child…to so much as talk to him, meet him if you didn't have the cowardice…" Sarutobi interrupted with a low growl in his aged voice, "We have discussed this before, Jiraiya. This conversation no longer holds any purpose. Please, leave now. You have another reconnaissance mission tomorrow morning."
Jiraiya left the office calmly, but he did manage to slam the door way too hard with his monstrous strength. That caused several of the Sandiame's silver instruments and scrolls to fall out of their shelves and come crashing to the ground in loud shatters and thuds. Sarutobi sighed and noticed that Jiraiya had broken the door off of it's hinges once more.
'What am I going to do?'
To Be Continued
There you go, people! The beginning of the training! I had some action, a little bit of classic ballsy comedy in there, and some Harry/Naruto Kakashi/Naruto, and Iruka/Naruto bonding. I wanted to do something like that, because I am just a fool for Iruka spending time with Naruto and acting silly along with him. Lol! Iruka, believe it or not, reminds me of Sokka from Avatar, so I thought I could make Iruka act more silly and be a goofball like his favorite little blonde brother/son.
Azeroth44: …
Kvsyaoran: …Azeroth44?
Azeroth44: …
Kvsyaoran: Naruto! Where the hell is Azeroth44?
Naruto: I think he left two days ago for his family's summer vacation…
Kvsyaoran: What? You gotta be kidding me!
Naruto: He left behind a note for us. Here.
Kvsyaoran: It says; 'Ha! Ha! Ha! You're not on vacation! You already had yours for this summer!'
Naruto: Prick.
Kvsyaoran: Oh, he is DEAD!
Naruto: How about you get your mind off of it and write an Omake about the dream I'm having in this chapter?
Kvsyaoran: Eh? Why not?
Here you go ladies and gentlemen! A dream induced by Iruka's kind, tenderness towards little Naruto!
That night, Naruto dreamt of pleasant dreams of him and his friends being at Sea World and Iruka was one of the dolphin trainers. Everyone was in the crowd as they watched Iruka have the dolphins and Orcas perform stunning tricks at the tan-man's command. It was so much more amusing than his old history lectures, that was for sure.
Then, Sasuke appeared out of nowhere and foolishly made his way to the top of the edge of the enormous water tank. Naruto watched intently as he and his friends noticed this but then turned to Iruka to have the water mammals perform more stunts.
Iruka called over with an enhanced voice, "I have one more trick with the orcas, ladies and gentlemen!"
Everyone cheered and begged for Iruka to go on and entertain them all.
Iruka then pulled out a walky-talky and said quietly, "Wait for it…Wait for it…"
Sasuke edged closer to the tank to get a better glimpse of the mammals and stared insulting them randomly like some kind of crazy person.
"The lobster is in the pot! Willy! Devour! Devour!" Iruka called into the communication device.
Then, one of the Orcas jumped out of the water and ripped off one of Sasuke's arms, causing him to scream painfully. The rest of the dolphins soon jumped out of the water and dragged Sasuke's body into the watery depths of the giant tank.
"Save us all a limb, guys…" Iruka talked into the walky-talky.
In reality, Naruto smiled so sweetly as he slept.
End.
