Chapter 11

Disclaimer- I don't own a thing!

Sasuke POV

I woke up early and looked around. I wanted to find Jinrou and see if she had already woken up. I looked around and started jumping from tree to tree. It didn't take me long to find her. She was wrapped in Naruto's arms, her sleeping bag lay to the side forgotten. They managed to somehow squeeze into one sleeping bag together. I grit my teeth and looked away.

"Sasuke?" She mumbled sleepily. She started to flutter her eyes open and focused on me with some difficulty. She yawned and sat up. "Good morning." Yawn. "Why are you up so early?" She asked rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

"Couldn't sleep." I say making up a quick excuse. She shook her head and stumbled to her feet.

"You should sleep more." She said with half-lidded eyes. It was kind of amusing to see her talk when she was half-conscious. She pushed me down on her sleeping bag. I tried to protest, but she put a finger to my lips.

"Shh. Now sleep." She ordered. She curled up beside me and was fully unconscious once again. I yawned and decided maybe it WAS too early to be up.

Naruto POV

I woke and felt my arms empty. I opened an eye and saw I was in my sleeping bag alone. I could've sworn I fell asleep with Jinrou. I scratched my head and sat up yawning. I looked around and stopped. I saw Jinrou in her sleeping bag with Sasuke. Damn!

"Hey, get up." Kakashi-sensei said appearing beside us. They slowly got up and yawned. We all went down to where the bridge builder and Sakura were. We walked and headed to the shore. "We'll be taking a boat to the Land Hidden in the Mist." We all got in a boat and were on our way. Jinrou was sitting next to Sakura and Sakura was talking to her in a hushed voice. Jinrou only nodded and hummed in agreement once in a while. I could tell she was bored out of her skull.

Jinrou POV

Sakura kept talking to me about how she keeps her hair healthy and about how she hates her big forehead. I just sat there, nodding and humming in agreement once in a while. To put it simply... I was bored out of my skull. I out my legs up and leaned against the side of the boat. I closed my eyes and was thrown into unconsciousness.

A few hours later, I was shaken awake. I opened my eyes and saw fog. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. We were in the Land Hidden in the Mist. We thanked the rower and got off. We walked for a bit before we were interrupted. There was a guy who was wearing pajama pants. He had his face wrapped up and he had a big sword on his back.

"Zabuza." Kakashi sensei hissed. We all got in our battle stances around the bridge builder.

"Sakura, protect the bridge builder." I hissed. She nodded and moved a bit closer to him. (You know what happens) Oh crap, Zabuza trapped sensei in a ball of water! Sasuke threw a ginormous ninja star (forgot what its called) at Zabuza. In it's shadow, was one of Naruto's clones. Oh no! I could tell Zabuza would see through it! I silently made clones of myself and hid them in the surrounding trees. As I predicted, Zabuza blocked Naruto's clone. My clones came out of the trees and tackled him to the floor. He fell and Kakashi sensei was freed. (Kakashi and Zabuza epic fighting) Some dude appeared and took Zabuza away. "Sensei? Are you okay?" I asked as I walked to him." He collapsed. "I guess not." I muttered.

"Come on, lets take him to my daughter's house." The Tazuna said. We nodded. Naruto and Sasuke each grabbed one of Kakashi's arms and began taking him to the house of Tazuna's daughter.

When we got there, we laid Kakashi-sensei down on a futon. Sakura and I stayed with him while everyone else went to talk. It didn't seem like he would be waking up soon. I got an idea.

"Hey Sakura?"

"Yeah, Jinrou?"

"Have you ever seen what Kakashi-sensei's face looks like?" She stared at me wide eyed.

"No."

"How about we find out?" I said grinning mischievously. She stood up and walked to the door.

"You go ahead. If he wakes up, I'm not gonna get in trouble." She walked out and closed the door behind her. I slowly crept to sensei's side. I kneeled beside him and slowly moved my hand over his face. I grabbed the top of his mask and gently started to pull it down. I closed my eyes and didn't open them until I could feel the mask was completely off. My eyes widened and I gasped loudly, I covered my mouth. He's gorgeous! I wonder why he keeps his face covered? Probably to avoid fangirls. I pulled his mask back on and stepped outside. I closed the door and leaned against it with a red hot face.

'Who would've know he's so handsome?' Ookami stated as she was also surprised. I walked where everyone was and sat down next to Sakura.

"Did you see?" She whispered as she cupped her hand in front of my ear so they wouldn't read her lips. I just nodded. She gasped quietly. "How did he look?" She whispered again. I gave her a look and just shook my head. She seemed to understand and let it drop. Suddenly some kid ran in. He looked really young and had a blue and white hat on his head.

"This is my grandson." Tazuna said patting his head.

"Hello." I told him smiling. The kid blushed a bit.

"Hi." He mumbled. I smiled fondly at him. I spaced out a bit. Next thing you know, Naruto is going after the kid. The boy ran away. I glared at Naruto.

"Naruto, he's just a kid." I told him sternly.

"I don't like his attitude." Naruto said.

"That's no excuse, you should know better."

"Whatever." He said looking away. We heard a groan and ran into sensei's room. He had his uncovered eye open. He began to talk to us as we sat around him. He explained to us about how Zabuza wasn't dead and how he was gonna train us. We nodded and got ready.

"You're all welcome to use the baths." Tazuna's daughter told us smiling. We nodded. We all went outside, sensei in crutches.

"Your task is fairly simple. All you have to do is walk up the tree." We looked confused. He walked to a tree and put one foot against the wood. He began to walk up the tree as if he was walking down a sidewalk. "You need chakra balance. Not too much, but not too little." He said. By this point he was standing upside down. We nodded. "Use your kuni to mark the tree so you can see how much you improve each time." We nodded. We all walked up to a different tree. Mine was between Naruto's and Sasuke's. "You might want to get a head start." They walked back a few paces and ran. Sasuke's foot broke through the wood and Naruto didn't go up at all.

"Hi!" Sakura called. We all looked up to see her sitting on a high branch, waving at us. Kakashi sensei made remarks about both Sasuke and Naruto. They looked mad and determined.

"What about you Jinrou? Aren't you going to even attempt it?" Sensei said. All their eyes were immediately on me. I nodded. I placed my hand on the tree bark and closed my eyes, focussing.

'This shouldn't be too hard, right?' I whispered to Ookami.

'Its no sweat.' She said as she pumped the right amount of chakra into me. I opened my eyes, they were blue and my hair was white, I was the same besides that. I put a foot against the bark and could feel it stick. I put the other and began to walk up the tree. I walked up higher and higher. I eventually got to a high branch and tried standing upside down. I stood upside down like Kakashi did.

"Well would you look at that." He said. Suddenly, my grip was lost and I was falling head first. Shit! I was too high! I squeezed my eyes shut but the impact never came. I was in warm arms. When I opened my eyes I saw Sasuke. He was standing on a branch with me carried bridal style in his arms. I unconsciously wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Did you run up the tree?" I asked as I looked into his eyes.

"Um, no. I just jumped from branch to branch."

"Oh." I said. He jumped down with me still in his arms.

'Jinrou and Sasuke sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G...' Ookami sang softly. I blushed.

'Shut up!' I mentally yelled at her. She just giggled. Sasuke put me on my feet gently.

"Thanks." I muttered. He nodded smiling.

"Well Jinrou, that's some impressive chakra control." Kakashi said. I didn't notice Naruto glaring.

"Thanks." I said smiling.

"I bet you could last longer if you keep at it." I nodded.

"I'll try." I said. Kakashi left and took Sakura with him. I was left alone with Naruto and Sasuke. Can you say awkward?

Can anyone please tell me what Tazuna's daughter and grandson's names are? I kinda forgot...
