Hey Guys. I'm finally back. Sorry for the long wait. Exams got to me and once they finished got caught up on new games. The good that came out of my work for exams was a B average for the year. I'm back with a new chapter that I hope you Guys like.

Naruto slept quietly, the natural forest sounds giving a sense of peace. The warmth of Sora against his belly, the annoying stick poking his back. The itchy areas from bug bites, the breeze that chilled his legs the spider that slowly lowered towards his forehead, Suspended on a tiny thread of silk. As it was about to touch his forehead naruto had a giant yawn and engulfed the spider.

"AAAAARGH, What the hell! Damn it why would a spider climb into my mouth." Needless to say the campsite was now awake. Seto smiled at the antics of the boy, who was currently retching a spitting out bits of a large spider. "Well now, since naruto woke us up I guess it's time to go find some breakfast. Let's go to the river and catch some fish for breakfast."

The group trooped down to the river and the boys stripped to their underwear and began to swim and attempt to catch fish. Seto followed but he merely took off his coat and top so he was just in his pants. Naruto looked to his sensei and noticed that he had bandages covering his whole chest and up to his chin. The group carried on cleaning swimming and catching fish until they were ready to make breakfast.

Seto Quickly cooked up breakfast and filled his hungry charges bellies. After breakfast the boy's did their physical activities and proceeded to their chakra training, Seto returned to the campsite. The boy's were not quite getting it except for naruto who quickly grew bored and decided to find his sensei to ask how to make his training more fun.

Naruto entered the campsite and spotted his sensei and stopped dead. Seto was busy replacing his bandages and naruto saw what they hid. Seto had major burns all over his chest and neck and his stomach had a few punctures that were also burnt. The wounds looked fresh. Naruto gasped.

Seto looked up to see his shocked student. "Ah now you see the physical representation of my sin. You know I've had these wounds for 11 years and they have never once healed. Someday I will tell you my story, but for now can you not speak of this. He finished bandaging himself. They returned to where the other boys worked with naruto trailing behind him somewhat confused and severely shocked.

When Shino noticed them he stopped, he had almost got it and Kiba was nowhere. "Ok guys don't stop practicing." Kiba shot up at this, "Chakra control is pointless what is the point of it. I don't need chakra control."

Seto was shocked at Kiba's outburst but could understand it because Kiba was not succeeding and probably felt useless. 'I guess I can show them what you can do with chakra control. It will also help naruto get over what he saw and hopefully pique his interest.'

"Okay Kiba you don't have to do this training but if you don't, you'll never get to do this." Seto stepped foreword and placed his foot on the tree and started walking up it with just his feet. The boys looked on in shock.

Once Seto got to the top he manipulated his chakra into his leg muscles and jumped further then normally humanly possible he flew up high into the air and as he reached the top of his jump his hands moved through a set of handseals in a blur and he whispered Wind style: Cyclone shield. Wind picked up around him and surrounded him in the form of a cyclone that floated down to the boys and dissipated leaving behind a slightly ruffled Seto.

"COOL!" was the cry that greeted Seto's landing. He smiled and said, "If you don't have control you can't do that. Now get back to work." The boy's wasted no time in getting back to work trying to stick leaves to themselves. Naruto had forgotten what he had seen and was attempting to stick another leaf on his forehead but noticed it to be much harder to spit his chakra between two points so he started with the leaves close together.

Lunch came and went with them Being taught what berries and plants were edible and then forced to eat them. After lunch Seto took them to the grassy plain and said, "Hey guys it's time to do teamwork training and we are going to do that by playing Fort with a twist. You guys and your partners are on a team against me. I am going to make the fort and then when I set off the green flare you guys are going to have to try and take this bag from my Fort, He held up a rucksack. Inside is a gift. You guys can use anything you want to try beat me. Ok You guys start from here I'll go find a good place for the fort and make it. You guys stay here and plan or something.

Seto then shot off into the forest. He was feeling good about this, not only was this test of their teamwork but also of their physical capabilities. He had placed a sentry to watch and listen to his charges. After running for a few minutes he found a good tree. And set up his fort.

Back in the clearing there was some major planning being done with Shino calling most of the shots. "Okay guys I put a bug on him, with it my bugs can tell me where he is. What we are going to do is attack from two points and also from afar. While our partners go for his left, Kiba and I will go for his right. Now Naruto you have the most important job you have to sneak in and steal the flag. You have to be as quiet and hidden as possible and steal the bag and then run like hell. They all nodded and waited for the flare. As they waited they didn't know that they were being watched by a sentry.

The flare went off and Shino lead the way to their sensei. When they got closer to their sensei they split up. Akamaru, Sora and the bugs went for the fort first as Kiba and Shino went around to try and catch their sensei unaware. Naruto slowly sneaked foreword towards the fort.

Seto was sitting in a tree about 2 meters from the fort and waited for his students to make their move he had a lock on all their chakra signals and waited as they attempted to flank him. He waited and turned to face the oncoming boys. As he turned he was slammed into by three small balls. Overbalanced he fell to the floor, looking back he saw A Sora Akamaru and A ball off bugs chasing after his fall. 'Wow I really stuffed up big time, I forgot about their partners.' Thought Seto.

The boys watched their sensei fall and right himself before landing and then jumping away from the animals. Kiba rushed in to tackle his sensei. Seto sensing his approach dodged to the left. And then had to duck, as a rock from Shino came towards him. He then rolled to the side to dodge an attack of bugs. Akamaru was waiting for him and attempted to bite their sensei. Seto quickly dodged and disappeared to escape. He reappeared in the underbrush nearby. As he sat under the bush he realized that he had left the fort unguarded and quickly Shunshined to the top of the fort.

While they fought naruto had made his way to the fort. He had made sure that he was on the opposite side of the tree to the fighting. He had then climbed up to the top and picked up the bag. As he was about to leave Seto appeared and grabbed him. Seto shouted out, "Alright guy's game over you almost won but I caught naruto so too bad for you. Meet me at the campsite." He disappeared forcing Kiba and Shino to follow.

Once they got there they were greeted by a smiling and sheepish looking naruto, "Sorry guys I got caught." They all just laughed. "Okay guys since you did so well you get the prize anyway. The prize is a tent for us all to sleep in." They all cheered especially Naruto, they were sick of the shelters. "Okay guys you did really well but now it's time for your partners. You guys go take an hour to spend with your partners while I cook supper." They all split up to do their task.

With Seto

Seto prepared the food; while he prepared the food a bird came and landed next to him. Seto looked at the bird gave it some bread and said telepathically "Thank you friend, How did they do? Can you send me your memory of their planning" the bird blinked and then flew away. Seto Smiled at the memory he had just received. It looked like Shino was the brains in the group.

With Naruto

Naruto and Sora had once again relocated to their shared mindscape. "That was fun wasn't it Sora?" Sora nodded and replied by showing naruto a set of images from her point of view. "Cool, can I do that to. How do I show you images of my memory." naruto eagerly asked. "Just concentrate on showing me the memory." They then spent most of the time sharing memories of their day. "Sora, Are you gonna grow like really really big?" Sora smiled at naruto's animated gestures as he spread his arms as wide as possible. "Yes, eventually I will. But that will only be much later. My growth is dependant on you and your ability at handling me. I'll start growing really fast once you turn 15 but until then the biggest I'll get is big enough to comfortably carry you." The two carried on talking for the rest of the time.

Once the hour was over they came back together and had supper. After supper Seto handed out the letters and the boys were allowed to read the messages from their families. Kiba and Shino got from their parents and Naruto got from the Sandaime and Ikkaku.

Once the kids had read their letters, Seto said "Okay guys. It's time you learn about sealing scrolls. You see the funny seal at the bottom well put your hand on it and put Chakra into the seal. It only needs a little." All the boy's did as they were told and were rewarded with backpacks that held food and changes of clothes and the basic things they would need for a comfortable week long camp out.

"Time for bed everyone. I've already set up the tent so just find your blankets and go to sleep." Seto smiled as the boys trooped into the tent. He was enjoying being around people. 'Maybe 11 years is enough. I think I can atone for my sins through these boy's. I have been alone for 11 long years and now I'm back.

That's the end of the chapter. I hope you guys liked it.

Question time.

Must I skip rest of camp nothing more is gonna happen unless you want me to spice it up.

Should I also develop the other character partner relationships or just focus on naruto and Sora.

Should the Partners have bigger roles
