Hey guy's Dar1us again. Chapter 6 rewritten in a few spots

Previously: "Woohoo! We are going on a journey!" Naruto shouted excitedly. They all laughed and carried onward leaving the village and a smiling old man behind.

Chapter 6: Day 1 and 2 of Training week.

They had been waking for about an hour; When Seto decided it was time to rest the little children. "Alright guys lets stop off here. I want to learn more about you guys. Tell me your name, your partners name if it applies and something about yourself and something about your partner, you First dog boy."

"Names Kiba and this is my friend Akamaru, I like to have fun outside and Akamaru loves to chase cats." Seto next pointed to Shino.

"My name is Aburame Shino, my Hive is unnamed. I like to study about my bugs, my hive is still too small to do anything but scout."

"My name is Naruto, Her name is…. I haven't actually named her yet" Naruto hung his head, ashamed he had already failed in rearing his pet. "Naruto, don't be ashamed. A name is something very important don't rush into it, and she is only 2 days old. Now carry on I'm sure you know something about her." Seto said, almost as if to echo Seto's point she climbed into naruto's lap and made what could be assumed to be a dragon purr. "Well, she loves forests and Ramen. I like my new friends and never want to let them be hurt." The dragon nodded in confirmation.

Seto smiled at his young charges, "Now I want you guys to spend an hour alone with your partner and when we come back together we will talk about what we learn." Shino walked away from the clearing as did Kiba. Naruto just stayed where he was already talking to his Partner 'hey can we go to my mind place again?' The dragon looked at him and touched her nose to his forehead and the two found themselves in their shared mindscape. The forest was as lush as ever with plants and trees growing all over the place. The forest gave a sense of peace over them. "Um… what do you call yourself?" the dragon looked at him quizzically. "I don't name myself that is for you to decide."

Naruto looked confounded, "What do you like the most?" the dragon paced around and then said, "You or flying, I love the forests and the sky." Naruto sat there for a while he went through a list of names; the dragon nodded or grunted according to here tastes. "Hakumei, which means Twighlight or Sora, for sky. You can't have two names."

The dragon looked at him and started laughing, "You have two names, Uzumaki and Naruto so why cant I?" Naruto happily agreed, "So Hakumei Sora do you like your name, I'll call you Sora unless I'm being polite." They both smiled and carried on conversing for the rest of the given time. "By the way Sora, can you speak telepathically to anyone?"

The dragon nodded, "Yes if I feel like it I can and also if they do not protect themselves."

A tap on naruto's shoulder alerted him to the teams return. "Whoa naruto weren't you supposed to be talking with your partner. Sensei might get angry." Seto merely laughed at there antics, "Kiba, Naruto was in his mindscape. Sarutobi told me of that ability of naruto's and his drag-" Naruto cut off his sensei, "Apologies Seto-sensei but we decided her name is Hakumei Sora." Naruto smiled.

"That is very good Naruto, A fitting name, Twighlight Sky. It's poetic. Now come on guys it's time to carry on with our Journey. I want to find a good campsite before night fall, because that is where we'll be staying for the week."

They carried on walking for the rest of the afternoon until they found a large clearing in the forest that bordered a plain and river. "Alright this is as good a place as any. Tonight we are gonna sleep in shelters that we are gonna make. Find some branches and Vines to make a shelter. You guys will have to make one that fits you and your partner and is warm and dry. While you do that I'll find us some supper.

The boy's all had a look of determination on their faces. Each one had different reasons to do their best. Kiba did it because it was something new and fun to try, Naruto did his best to make his friends and sensei proud and Shino worked hard so he could impress his new friends.

A way away Seto sat and watched his new apprentices work hard, he was happy with the Sandaime's choice in students. They all had gigantic amounts of potential, they just needed someone to help them realize and make use of it. He was gonna be the one to take them to new heights. He turned away to catch their supper.

When Seto arrived each of his students had made a failure of an attempt, Kiba had just tied his sticks together to form a crude Teepee that didn't fit him. Shino had used his bugs to shred and shape branches and tied them so that they formed a lean-to however with a little wind it would have fallen on him. Naruto had done the best by stripping Branches and lashing together a Frame however his Problem came in not having enough things to cover his frame. "Well done guys come now let's take a look at each of your shelters." They went to each shelter where Seto commended them for there good points and helped them fix there weak points and by the end of the hour they all had perfect single night shelters.

"Sensei, what are you going to sleep in it is almost too late to start making a shelter?" Seto smiled at Shino's question and said, "Good point Shino. I will be teaching you the best place to sleep when you can't make a shelter. Look for a hollow in tree roots or up in the branches for a suitable hollow. Line it with leaves and soft branches to conserve heat and to protect from water." He walked over to a tree and found a good hollow; he lined it and made it comfortable. "Now as a show of belief you three must sleep in someone else's shelter." For supper Seto cooked the children some rabbit stew and they sat around the fire as they ate content in nature all of them in tune with the surroundings.

They had an early night as the boy's were tired from the walking. Naruto slept in Shino's shelter, Shino in Kiba's, Kiba in Naruto's and Seto watching over them from his Hollow. He had provided them with blankets and pillows so that they got a good night sleep

The boy's were awoken in the morning to the smell of fish as Seto-sensei cooked a good breakfast for them. They ate in a groggy silence and after cleaning up the campsite they went to the river to get cleaned up and have some fun swimming. They returned to camp once they were all clean, Everyone but sensei had swam as Seto had said that he had swam when he caught the fish.

"Okay kids, we are going to do some physical training. I want you to each do 10 sit ups, 10 push ups, 10 jumping jacks and jog to the river and back. Don't overwork yourselves, if you get tired you can rest but it is better to do it all at once and rest afterwards. I'll be doing triple what you are doing so we are working together." The boy's faces were set once again in determination. Once again, trying to gain the approval of their sensei. They all did well with Kiba being the most physically adept of the 3 kids. After their exercises Seto called them together, "Okay guys, well done. I want you to do that everyday from now on, even when we are apart and once it gets easy increase it by another 10. Now is the time to try figure out the scrolls. I want you to just open them. Split up and try and figure it out. They all went there separate ways and Seto merely climbed into the trees to watch their progress.

Shino looked at the scroll and contemplated it. He had already eliminated the idea of prying it open and now looked at the seal. It was written in Kanji and Shino was not good at reading it. After a while he saw the Kanji for blood and putting caution to the wind bit his finger a little and put blood on the seal, the scroll opened up. 'Yes I did it; I must show Naruto and Kiba how to open it. I want to help my allies' He ran off towards his friend. Seto saw this and quickly intercepted Shino. "Shino I see you got it, well done. Are you going to tell Kiba and Naruto, you can always boast until they figure it out. They will think you are so smart." Seto was testing Shino to see if he would put his allies before him. Shino decided helping his friends was more important then gloating and so he called them over and told them how the scrolls worked. Once they had all opened their scrolls Seto made an appearance, "Well done, it seems Shino is the brains of the group and he also showed you guys the quality that will make this team amazing and that is caring for your comrades. Shino could have gloated about being the first one to open his scroll, but he didn't. He chose to help his friends." Seto took in the scrolls and turned to the group.

"Let's eat some leftovers for lunch" Seto stated as he prepared a quick lunch for the team. After the meal he turned to Naruto.

"Naruto, Teach Kiba and Shino the leaf training method. I'll be their to give pointers as well." Naruto took them to the field and explained the basics of chakra and how to do the training. They all sat down to do it. Naruto put the leaf to his forehead and concentrated on the chakra on his head, Naruto imagined the chakra forming a suction thing on his head and it worked. Naruto was amazed at how easy it was. "Sensei, sensei look I got it. It so easy now, How come?" Seto thought for a while before coming to the obvious conclusion.

"Naruto it is easier because you don't have to fight with the Kyuubi's chakra anymore. That means you'll have much more control but you won't have unlimited chakra anymore. You do however have a very high capacity and stamina, With training you can be an amazing ninjutsu specialist. My idea is that Shino is the brains and stealth in the group, Kiba will be the Taijutsu specialist and you will be the ninjutsu specialist, now try doing it with more then one leaf."

The boy's carried on with this training for the rest of the afternoon and when dusk came Seto took the boys hunting. With the help of their partners they caught a small dear for supper. Seto taught the boys how to skin and gut the deer and tried to teach the boys how to cook it. Eventually a few burnt and raw pieces later the boy's got it right and ate their own cooked meal. As they sat around the fire Seto explained the plans for the next day. "Okay guys, tomorrow I'll wake you up and you'll have to sort out breakfast. After breakfast and cleaning we'll do chakra training, then physical training. After that we will eat lunch and then do teamwork training and some partner time, during which you'll learn more about your partners and then report back so we can all learn together. I'll sort out supper and you guys can spend more time checking your scrolls in the evening." The boy's nodded not really taking in their sensei's itinerary as they were falling asleep. He chased them to their own shelters and bid them goodnight.
