Chapter Six:
Chakra Training:
Back to Darcy's POV (it'll be like this unless specified by me)
Friday, 2:30 pm
"So, why are we coming over to your house, again?" I asked Temari as we left fourth hour.
"Sakura and I wanted to clean the house, and do the laundry, and other house hold chores," Temari explained.
"Yeah," Sakura agreed. "And we can't put our faith in Naruto, Kankuro, Gaara, or Kakashi Sensei."
"That's how it works with guys," Temari added.
"I see," I said. "Well, Kelsey, looks like we're going over to Kakashi's house. We'll meet you there, but first let us drop our stuff off at our houses."
"Got it," Sakura said. "See you later."
"Come one, Kels," I said, and we got into our car and headed home. "I wonder if Sakura ever asked Kakashi if he can train us. I hope she did."
"Yeah, me too," Kelsey agreed.
We rode in silence and listened to the radio. The song "Break Your Heart" By Taio Cruis (A/N: Did I spell that right?). Ten minutes later, I pulled into my drive way. My parents were out of town again, so Kelsey was staying with me for the weekend again. We ran up to the door, tossed our backpacks into the house, and walked over to the ninja household. I knocked on the door, and Temari opened it.
"Oh, good, you're here," Temari said. "Come on in."
On the outside, the house looked like an average American house. On the inside, there were some American applications (a T.V. and what not), but there was a lot of traditional Japanese decorations and furniture. I could tell the house had been re-designed. When we walked in, every ones shoes were placed neatly by the wall, and the floor in front of the door was elevated (just like you would see in the show).
"Come on to the back yard, we're going to start with yard work. Sakura's already back there," Temari said, leading us through the house. We weren't wearing our shoes, but rather carrying them through the house. As we walked past the kitchen, I could see empty instant ramen in a cup. That was so like Naruto. When we reached the back door we put our shoes on and went out the door. When we exited, I was surprised to see not only Sakura, but also Naruto, Gaara, and Kankuro. I wondered where Kakashi was, but I didn't ask. Everyone started to walked into the forest, and Kelsey and I followed.
"So, where are we going?" Kelsey asked.
"We found this great place, a clearing with a like in it, but there's a bunch of trash there, so we want help cleaning it up," Temari explained.
"This was the only chore we could get the guys to help us with," Sakura explained the reason for the boys presence.
"Oh, okay," Kelsey said. When we finally reached the clearing, the first thing I noticed was that there wasn't any trash anywhere.
"Okay, I've got two questions," I said. "One, where is all the trash? Two, where is Kakashi? I mean, shouldn't he be helping us, too?"
"That's no to address your new master," a voice from behind us said. I whirled around to see Kakashi standing on the path we had come from. "I think the proper way to address me now is 'Kakashi Sensei', or, if you would like, 'the Great One', or 'Oh Supreme Lord', or-" but he was cut off.
"We get it, kakashi Sensei!" Sakura exclaimed.
"But that was funny," Kelsey remarked.
"Wait, you want us to call you Kakashi Sensei? So does this mean you're training us?" I asked, trying, and failing, to maintain my cool.
"Yes, it does," he replied. "But it's not going to be fun. And it sure as hell won't be easy. If you don't feel up to the challenge, by all means, back out, no one will judge you. After all you two are not ninja, so it really isn't in your blood to work your ass off and kill people and stuff. So, what do you say? Are you in or are you out?"
"In, defiantly in!" I exclaimed.
"Ditto!" Kelsey said with equal, if not more, enthusiasm as me.
"Okay, today will be your first day of training then," Kakashi said. "Naruto, Sakura, Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, I am going to ask you five to stay here to watch my training methods, so that you may copy, improve, or alter them when you train these two girls. Oh, and by the way, you two, this day will be a taste of what you have coming, so if you do want to back out, you may."
"Wait, Sensei, what do you mean by 'when you train these tow girls'?" Sakura asked.
"Well, I'm going to have you guys in groups," Kakashi said. "Naruto and Sakura, you will train Darcy and Kelsey every Friday, minus today, Temari and Kankuro, you will train them every Saturday, and Gaara, you and I will train them every Sunday."
"Yes, sir!" The five ninja said.
"Okay, good, now let's get started," Kakashi said. When he said this the others went to sit down by a tree near the edge of the clearing to watch. "First, I'm going to test your taijutsu skills. I won't be testing your ninjutsu or genjutsu because you don't know any, but taijutsu is something you guys should both know. Basic kicking and punching." Without any warning, he disappeared.
"Be on your guard Kelsey," I said. I really should have listened to my own advice, though, because the second I said that, Kakashi Sensei kicked me in the side and I went flying off to the right. Kelsey was laughing at me until she got kicked in the side, too, and went flying to the left.
"You have to keep up your guard!" Kakashi Sensei instructed us.
"Yeah, yaah, easy for you to say Mr. Ninja," I muttered under my breath as I stood up. Either he heard me, or he just wanted to hit me again because as soon as I said that in just one second he was in front of me throwing a punch, but this time, I was ready. I shot my hand up to grab his hand and stop his punch, and when he threw a second punch at me, I did the same thing. We were in a clench and, with my experience from Taekwondo, I knew just what to do. I brought my leg up and slammed it into his head, using a crescent kick, and, releasing his hands the exact right time, I kicked him right to the ground. But it turned out he was using substitution jutsu, and when I looked around for him, I saw him battling Kelsey. She was doing a pretty good job fighting him considering she doesn't do Taekwondo and that Kakashi's a Jounin, an elite ninja of the leaf village. She was effectively blocking his punches and kicks, and got pretty close to hitting him. When she finally did lay a round house kick, and a powerful one at that, he disappeared in a puff of smoke and was replaced by the log.
"Damn, substitution again?" I asked out loud. "I thought this was taijutsu training, not ninjutsu!"
"Where did he go?" Kelsey asked.
"Above? Left? Right? Behind?" I asked these questions as I looked in each direction.
"If he's not in any of those," Kelsey said.
"Then he must be bellow," I finished. "Jump, Kelsey!" We both did, and just in time, too. We both grabbed onto a tree branch that was above us and climbed onto it. As soon as we were on the tree branch, two Kakashi Sensei's popped out of the ground. Two, not one, but two. Fortunately, he missed.
"Earth Style: Head Hunter Jutsu," I said. "Ninjutsu, too."
"Precisely," he said. I crouched down, and then jumped forward to attack Kakashi but he stopped me when I got close enough. "Enough of this, I'm done testing you. Now I'm going to teach you about chakra, and how to mold physical and spiritual energy into chakra."
"Yes, sir," Kelsey and I said in unison.
"Um, Kakashi Sensei," I said.
"Yes?"
"When will we be climbing trees?"
"If all goes well, tomorrow," Kakashi Sensei answered. "Now, sit down on the ground and listen to me." We obeyed and he dove into a lecture. "So, as you know, chakra is a combination of physical and spiritual energy. Physical energy is improved through training, such as push-ups, punching and kicking, running, and other such activities. Spiritual energy is improved through meditation and study. To meld the two energies together, you must learn to focus your mind, and then once you've done that, you must make a hand sign of some sort to utilize your concentrated chakra. It is rare to be able to do one handed hand signs, and the only one who I knew could do it was Haku. And he's dead. So, I'm going to teach the the Clone Jutsu. The hand signs are: ram, snake, tiger." He showed us the hand signs, and showed us the jutsu once. Then, it was our turn.
"Okay, here I go," I said. I held my hands in the traditional chakra concentration form and focused on melding physical ans spiritual energies together. "Okay, so, ram, snake, tiger," I said the the hand signs as I preformed them. "Clone Jutsu!" I stood there waiting, but nothing happened. "Well, that was anti-climatic."
"Haha, you failed!" Kelsey said laughing. I saw her put her hands together in concentration. "Ram, snake, tiger," she said imitating me. "Clone Jutsu!" Just like with me, nothing happened.
"See, don't go putting others down if you can't even back yourself up," I said. "Ram, snake, tiger. Clone jutsu!" Again, nothing.
"Well, you guys get the basic concept, so we'll just sit and watch you," Kakashi Sensei said, and he went to sit on the side lines with the other ninja. Kelsey and I practiced the jutsu over and over again.
"Okay, this time, I really AM going to get it!" I declared.
"You've said that twenty times already," Kelsey said.
"Well, this time I really do mean it," I told her.
"Whatever," she said going back to her practice.
I did the hand signs quickly, with out saying them; I had gotten the hand of them by now. "Clone Jutsu!" I managed to produce one clone this time. "Yes, I did it! I did it!" I looked to see Kelsey huffing on the round. When she saw my clone, she jumped up and kept practicing. After three more tries, she finally got it.
"Okay, I want to do one more thing today," Kakashi Sensei said. "Tomorrow, Temari, Kankuro, work with them on the Transformation Jutsu. Now that you two have the basic idea of how to control your chakra, learning these simple e-ranked techniques should be a breeze.
"Yes, sir!" Temari and Kankuro said togethder.
"Alright, now to finish todays class, I'm going to test you chakra types," kakashi Sensei said pulling out two sheets of paper. "These are-" he started, but I cut him off.
"It's a kind of paper that is really sensitive to chakra," I said, being a know-it-all for once in my life. "The trees it comes from were fred and raised with chakra. You simply need to concentrate you chakra into it, and it'll tell you. If your nature is lightning the paper crumples, if it is wind it is sliced, for fire it burns, for earth it crumbles away, and for water the paper gets wet."
"Um, yes, that sums it up," Kakashi Sensei said, sounding rather annoyed. "Anyways, here, take one, and we will see what your chakra type is." Kelsey and I took ours, and I concentrated my chakra into the paper. Immidatly, my paper got wet. I looked at Kelsey to see her paper had burned. "Okay, well, that's all for today. Temari, Kankuro, make sure you specify when you want to meet these guys tomorrw. Dismised!" Everyone except for Temari, Kankuro, Kelsey, and I left.
"So, tomorrow is Saturday, so we can meet how about at one. Eat lunch before you come, though," Temari said.
"Haha, this is goign to be fun," Kankuro. "I really don't like kids, just so you know."
"That's fine, I just hope you're not calling us kids, I mean, we are the same age as you," I told him.
"Damn, kid, she's right," he said.
"Hey, don't call me a kid!" I shouted.
"That's no way to talk to your sensei," Kankuro shot back.
"Enough!" Temari shouted. "No arguing, or I'm giong to have to kick all or your asses!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Everyone said with fear in their voices, including Kankuro. We all headed home after a long and VERY tiring day. I was so exhausted I couldn't find the strength to go all the way up to my room, instead I just colapsed on the couch.
A/N: Okay, finally done! Please review, I'm not going to update until I get some reviews!
