Chapter 5: Return home and Naruto's ninja boot camp.
The rest of the mission went pretty well after everyone cleaned up what was left of Gato was cleaned up. After the bandit lord had died the bridge work continued unopposed and was done much faster since some of the workers who quit while Gato was in charge came back.
Hwile this was going on Sasuke had started showing his more arrogant side again. He started telling Naruot to make him more jutsu. He also started demanding Zabuza to teach him his jutsu and sword techniques as well as ordering him to hand over Kubikiribocho. He even started demanding the same from Haku.
Just when they were at their wits end Naruto saved the Uchiha from a slow and brutal demise by slamming a very powerful piece of duct tape over his mouth.
Naruto also presented Gato's bank information to Tazuna giving back all the money that Gato had taken from them.
When it came time to leave Naruto was almost attacked by his fan club that had built up around the village. Luckily Kakashi took things seriously enough for them to leave before Naruto wound up losing his pants.
Without the civilian with them they were able to get to Konoha much faster.
When they arrived the gates Izumo and Kotetsu immediately drew their weapons.
"Calm down guys," Naruto said, "They're with us. They are coming with us as prisoners on our last mission with the hopes that they can join us."
The two Chuunin looked at each other before relenting.
"Zabuza Momochi and girl I can't identify," Izumo said, "I would ask that you hand over your weapons."
Zabuza raised a nonexistent eyebrow and asked, "Why?"Kotetsu answered, "Sorry it's just a necessary precaution. I don't think a lot of the Shinobi would like a missing nin walking through the village with a large sword on his shoulder."
Zabuza sighed and handed over his sword. Hkau took out her Senbon pack and handed them to the Chuunin.
With that the six ninja headed into the village.
When they arrived at the Hokage's office the old man sent them a stern glare.
"Okay," the old kage said, "Can somebody tell me why we have two non Konoha ninja in the room one of which being a missing nin?"
Naruto cleared his throat and said, "Zabuza Momochi and his daughter Haku Momochi helped us fulfill our mission to help the bridge builder Tazuna by telling us where their boss was hiding out. In return they wished for protection and are wiling to join the ranks of Konoha."
The old sandaime looked at the two foreign ninja before he sighed and said, "All right. I will let them stay. However they will have their weapons confiscated, their chakra temporarily sealed, and be under ANBU watch for a period of up to three months. Understood?"
Zabuza nodded. He was a little pissed that he wouldn't get his sword back and have his chakra sealed, but he would get over it with time. Haku was just glad that she wasn't going to be sent to jail.
"ANBU," the old man said as the masked agents appeared, "Show these two to some temporary housing. Then spread the news to the other ANBU."
With that the demon of the mist and ice user were escorted away. When they were gone the old kage turned his eyes to the son of Konoha's White Fang.
"Now then Kakashi," the Sandaime said, "Tell me why you went along with the mission when it turned B-rank instead of handing it over to another Jonin or calling ANBU."
Kakashi cleared his throat and said, "Well after the fight with the Demon Brothers each of my genin put in their two cents about continuing on with the missiion. They all agreed to go so we did."
The sandaime looked at Kakashi with an unreadable expression before he yelled, "WHAT WERE YOU THINKIING!"
Everyone winced at the tone.
"You let three behind the ears genin, two of which were fan girls and the other being arrogant and prideful, decide on whether or not to continue with a B-ranked mission? Kakashi that is by far one of the most ridiculous things I have every heard!"
The Sandaime caught his breath and calmed himself down a bit.
"Kakashi," the Sandaime said, "I'm afraid I'm going have to take action. Your choice to take care of the situation could have gotten some or all of your genin killed if I hadn't sent back up in time. For your lack of judgment you are hereby suspended from your jonin instructor position and given the regular jonin rank. For the next three weeks you are to do solely 30 "Capture Tora" missions…with half the pay. You will only resume your teaching duties when I say so. Understood?"
Kakashi hung his head and nodded sadly knowing that his lack of judgment had in fact endangered his team.
"Team 7 is now excused. You will report to your normal training grounds to meet your temporary sensei," the Sandaime said, "Naruto stay. I need to have a word with you."
Team 7 left the office while Naruto stood there.
"Now then," the old man said, "I would like to know…what is your evaluation of team 7?"Naruto sighed and said, "Well Sasuke has the typical Uchiha pride and arrogance. After the mission was over eh started demanding I teach him more jutsu as well as the stuff that Haku knew. The only fortunate thing that came out of this was that Ami and Sakura have started to break their fan girl tendencies. During training I learned they hadn't gone through the tree walking exercise yet and I got them up to water walking."
The sandaime sighed at one of his to jonin's laziness. He was starring to wonder if the boy had been born of a Nara instead of a Hatake.
"Naruto," the old kage said, "I have a proposition for you."
The next day…
Ami, Sakura and Sasuke were approaching training ground 7. The three had been preparing all night for when they would meet their new sensei.
When the three genin approached their training ground they were surprised to see Naruto sitting n top of the middle stump that had been used during the bell test when they first started became genin.
"Naruto," Sakura said in shock, "you're going to be our temporary sensei?"
The sun kissed blonde nodded and said, "Now then are we all ready to begin training?"
The three genin nodded.
"Okay," Naruto said, "to start things off I want to see how far you all are with the water walking exercise and how far you are coming with the jutsu I gave you."
Sakura stepped up first and said, "I can go on with the water walking exercise for about 10 minutes before I fall through the surface. And I'm able to perform my earth jutsu without feeling as drained as I normally do, but I still eats up a lot."
Ami stepped up and said, "I can go for about 8 minutes on the water before I break through and I can got at least 10 minutes with my new jutsu."
Sasuke said, "I'm able to use my new juts uas well as the Phoenix Flow jutsu before I start to feel the effects of chakra drain."
Naruto was writing this all down on a notepad and said, "I have to say I'm impressed with how far you've come with the right training. However higher level ninja can use jutsu like Ami for about a half hour or longer."
Sakura walked up to Naruto and said, "Naruto-sensei? I was wondering…I noticed that during the mission that you used tonfa against that iwa nin and you used a sword in the exam against that jonin in your exam. Do you use more than one weapon?"
Naruto nodded and said, "Very perceptive Sakura. I have learned to use more than one weapon because it helps me keep my enemies on my toes. They won't know if I'm going to use a sword or another weapon."
Sakura thought for a second and asked, "Can you teach me how to use tonfa?"Naruto cocked his head to the side and asked, "Do you all want to learn how to use a weapon?"
The three nodded.
"Okay," Naruto said, "We'll go get weapons tomorrow. For now we work on chakra reserves and something else to work on."
Naruto took out three pairs of scrolls.
"Sakura," Naruto said, "Do you know what elemental manipulation is?"Sakura nodded and said, "Yeah. Elemental manipulation is the controlling of an element though chakra control."
Naruto nodded and said, "Yes. Now a different chakra has a different effect on the air around it. Fire chakra burns whatever it touches. Lightning chakra is able to pierce though a target. Wind chakra is able to cut through whatever it touches. Earth is able to smash whatever it strikes to pieces. Water chakra is usually able to apply incredible pressure to a target. These scrolls have fire, earth, and lighting chakra training exercises. You are to do these all day until the sun goes down. When your chakra levels are low rest until you feel them return to normal. If you get hungry take a lunch brake, but only for an hour. If I find out any of you have slacked off you are going to be running laps until your ankles break. Understood?"
The tone that the blonde used made absolutely no room for argument. They all nodded in understanding.
"Now get to work," Naruto said, "I have some business to attend to."
With that Naruto left his temporary team to their own devices.
Sakura's training exercises were basically just focusing chakra into her body parts and unleashing them at the right moments to shatter a target. This was pretty difficult even with her chakra control. She wound up with a lot of bloody knuckles. By lunch, however, she was able to put a crack in the wooden post that was her target. By the time she was ready to leave she could form at least three cracks in the wood.
Ami's training exercises were focusing her chakra into her fingers and piercing a target. It started off rough since she couldn't focus it right. By lunch she could at least form some small finger shaped dents in the wood. It wasn't enough to pierce through the skin deep enough to puncture an organ however. She also had to focus chakra into her hands to keep the lighting chakra from cooking her skin.
Sasuke's training exercises included focusing chakra into his hands and feet and turning an object he was touching into ash. It started with grass and leaves and I would eventually go into melting metals. He also had to focus protective chakra into his hands and feet to keep them from burning. Luckily for him he was only focusing enough chakra to give him a first degree burn.
After a lot of failed attempts, some chakra regaining breaks, and some injured hands the three left the training ground for lunch.
The three found themselves sharing a meal at the Akamichi barbeque joint becaue it had good food and it was all you can eath. Which was a good thing because they were starving.
The three were in the middle of eating Ino, Chouji, Shikimaru, and Asuma.
"Hey forehead," Ino Yamanaka said, "Bird woman, Sasuke-kun. What are you doing here?"Sakura gulped down some of her food before saying, "Lunch break from training. Our sensei if a slave driver of a man."Asuma, team 10's sensei, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Kakashi? The man if a minimalist? I don't see him as a slave driver."
Ami gulped down her bite of steak before she clarified, "Not Kakashi. Naruto Uzumaki. He's our sensei now."
Asuma cocked his head to the side and asked, "What happened to Kakashi?"Sasuke answered, "He made some poor decisions that put is in danger on our last mission. He was suspended from his teaching duties. Naruto is our temporary sensei. We've only had him for a few weeks and he's already taught us more than Kakashi has in the month he had us."
Ino looked surprised as he saw Sakura and Ami eating so much food.
"Why are you eating like that Forehead girl?" Ino said, "Sasuke-kun isn't going to want you anymore if you lose your figure."Sakura swallowed down a mouthful of rice and said, "Eating isn't really a training issue Ino-pig. If you train hard the extra calories and the extra fat turns into muscle fat. In other words starving yourself is only going to kill you."
Ino looked shocked before turning to Asuma for confirmation. The bearded Sarutobi nodded.
The three finished and paid for their meal
After that the three went back to their training grounds.
As soon as the three got back they split up and started training again.
As the sun started to set they got up and started to head home to rest for tomorrow.
As soon as they left the two rocks and a tree burst into smoke revealing three Narutos. The three blondes then burst into smoke.
Meanwhile at the Sarutobi complex Naruto's eyes went blank for a minute before he came back to the real world with a smirk.
"Naruto-sensei," Konohamaru said seeing hi sensei smirk, "are you okay?"Naruto answered, "Yeah. Just had a very happy thought."
The next day…
Team 7 approached their training ground. As soon as they did they saw Naruto waiting for them. They were actually happy to see that their sensei was on time.
"Okay," Naruto said, "Like I said yesterday we will be looking for weapons. While we are there we are going to search I don't want you to pick what looks like it would be effective. I want you to pick what feels right. Am I understood?"
The three nodded.
"Good."
The four then went off. Naruto lead the three genin to a shop with the name Higurashi Weapons on it. When the three genin entered the shop their eyes widened. There were weapons all over the place. Swords, staff, axes, bows, knives, maces, tonfa, and a whole lot of other weapons.
"Now," Naruto said, "you three can browse, but only pick what feels right. If the weapon doesn't fit don't buy it. Now go find your new toys."
The three genin then browsed through the entire store. It was hard for them to decide what to choose since there were so many. Sasuke eventually picked a black and silver Naginata. Sakura picked up a pair of black painted Nunchaku. Ami picked a bow a quiver of arrows. While there they also stocked up on kunai, shuriken, explosive tags, flash bombs, and ninja wire.
The three gathered up their supplies and Naruto rung the bell to summon a worker. An old man that was built like an ox with multiple battle scars and an eye patch came to the desk.
"Naruto," the old man said, "I haven't seen you here since you bought your first weapons."
Naruto nodded and said, "Good you see you too Katsu. Now then I'll be taking these."
The man grinned as he rung up the price.
"Anything else?" the man asked.
Naruto rubbed his chin in thought and said, "Yeah. I'll take a book on making poisons and medical creams from available plants, a book on medical jutsu, a scroll with katas for these weapons, and a book on trap making."
The man grabbed the stuff asked for and handed them to Naruto. The blonde Namikaze paid for the items and then they left for the training ground.
"Okay then," Naruto said as he facing his temporary students, "from now until lunch you will train in chakra control and elemental control. After lunch you will study the katas for the weapons you picked out. Sakura I want you to train in medical jutsu and poisons and medicine. Ami you are to practice in trap making."
Sasuke growled, "Why do they get extra training when I do not?"
Naruto glared at Sasuke and said, "We need to diversify the team. We need a teammate with medical training she can heal her allies if they are injured. For Ami she can help trap and bind an enemy for those capture missions. You Sasuke will be the teams heavy hitter. When Ami has trapped the target you will be the one to wipe him/her out. You can also defend Sakura while she's healing Ami or another ally."
Sasuke nodded in understanding.
It continued like this for the next few weeks. Naruto would train the three into the ground pounding skills into their skulls piece by piece. Their chakra reserves eventually came up to about chuunin level. They also became proficient in their weapons and jutsu.
In the present day Naruto stood in front of the new team 7.
Some time ago the team decided to get some new clothes.
Sakura now wor ea red shirt with a white tiger on the back and a pair of fingerless gloves on her hands. She also wore a pair of black shorts with pockets that held poisons on the left and medical creams on the right. She always made sure to make sure they were in the right pocket too. She also had on a pair of black sandals. On her waist she had a pair of sheaths made for her nunchaku.
Ami had on a black shirt with a fire symbol in red on the back. She also had on a pair of dark gray pants and dark blue also had on a pair of gloves with special points on the nails that helped her focus her lightning chakra. On her back was her bow and a quiver full of arrows.
Sasuke was basically wearing all black with special fire proof gloves and bandages on his hands and legs. He also had the Uchiha symbol moved to his shirt sleeve. Sasuke had his naginata mounted on his back.
"I'm glad to see you all improved so quickly over a few weeks," Naruto said, "I'm proud to have called you my students at the time."
Naruto looked at the proud looks of his students and the slightly smug look on Sasuke's face.
"Now," Naruto said, "Before we start training today. I intend to make a new jutsu for each of you."
Sasuke smirked and said, "What are they?"Naruto looked at the Uchiha and said, "I don't know yet. This time you're going to tell me what you want."
Naruto took out a pad and a pencil.
"You'll be first Sasuke," Naruto said, "Would you prefer a ninjutsu, kenjutsu, taijutsu or genjutsu?"Sasuke thought for a second and said, "Ninjutsu."
Naruto asked, "Would you like it to hit one or multiple targets?"Sasuke answered, "Multiple targets."
Naruto jotted down a few notes.
"What would you like the range to be?"Sasuke actually put thought into this and answered, "Mid to long range."
Naruto then asked, "Do you want it to take an animal form?"Sasuke thought for a second and answered, "No."
Naruto wrote that down and asked, "Do you want to be a single blast like the Grand Fireball Jutsu or multiple like the Phoenix Flower jutsu?
Sasuke immediately answered, "Multiple blasts."Naruto wrote down the notes and motioned for Sakura.
"I'd like ninjutsu that is close to midrange, single blast, single shot, and no animal form, I'd like it to be a follow up technique to my Earth Shatter Dome," Sakura said.
Naruot turned to Ami who said, "I'll take a ninjutsu, multiple blast, no animal form. Question though. Can I have mine be able to switch between one target and multiple targets?"
Naruto scratched his chin in thought thinking about that request.
"I think I can manage that," Naruto said, "You guys train. I'll come by later with your jutsu."
The three genin left and got to training for the day.
After about an hour of training a cry of, "EUREKA!"
The three were shaken from their training by the cry. The three ninja turned to see Naruto running through the training ground and landed in front of them.
"What was that all about Naruto-sensei?" Sakura asked with a slightly annoyed look.
"I had some trouble going through the jutsu that Ami requested and I finally managed to figure it out," Naruto explained.
"Let me show you," Naruto said.
The man quickly went through hand signs.
"Lightning Style: Feathers of the Thunderbird!"
Electricity focused in his hands. He pushed on hand out sending lightning in the shapes of feathers. The projectiles pierced the tree and went right through. He then swung his arm in a horizontal arc sending them outward in an arc piercing and going through the ground an a few trees.
Ami sat back in awe. Naruto handed her a piece of paper that had the mechanics behind the jutsu.
"This is yours Sakura," Naruto said as he went through more hand signs.
"Earth Style: Stone Spears assault!"
Naruto slammed his fist onto the ground and a few large rocks came up from the ground. The rocks sharpened and flew at a tree smashing it to pieces.
"Whoa," Sakura said in shock.
Naruto looked at the pinkette and said, "Consider that a follow up to your Earth Shatter Dome technique. It'll use the already unearthed rocks and save you a bit of chakra while extra chakra is used bring the rocks out."
Naruto handed the notes on the jutsu to her.
Naruto finally turned to Sasuke and said, "Here's your jutsu little Uchiha."
Sasuke scowled at the nickname while Naruto went through one final set of hand signs.
"Fire Style: Burning Archer!"
Naruto fired half a dozen flaming arrows from his mouth. The projectiles pierced the ground and rocks setting fire to the grass and wood and destroying a tree.
Sasuke smirked as he took the paper with jutsu notes from his temporary sensei.
"Now then," Naruto said, "Practice with these. I'll be taking care of my own training."
Sakura looked confused and said, "You're already a jonin. Why do you keep training?"Naruto answered, "Yes, but I don't want my skills to diminish and weaken. I train to keep my skills sharp and to grow stronger myself. So keep at it."
Naruto then left to go train while leaving his temporary students to their own devices.
While Amiand Sakura walked away to start their own training Sasuke discretely followed Naruto.
The young genin hid quietly behind a few bushed as he wateched his temporary sensei practice.
After running through a few katas Naruto stood facing a training post.
Sauske smirked. Unknown to Naruto the intense training had caused Sasuke to activate his Sharingan. He had been waiting to use it and now he had a chance.
Naruto flipped through a few hand signs and growled, "Wind Style: Jet Stream Blast!"
Naruto fired a single powerful blast of air chakra from his mouth that reduced the wooden training post to nothing but splinters.
Sasuke gave a dark smirk as he as he turned off his Sharingan.
He then went to his own spot in the trainign ground and turned to the training post.
The young Uchiha went through hand signs and said, "Wind Style: Jet Stream Blast!"
The beam of air smashed into the training post and turned it to splinters. Sasuke would have smirked if he hadn't suddenly fall to one knee in absolute exhaustion. Even with his enhanced reserves the jutsu was too much for him to bear.
He slowly rose up from his exhausted spot on the ground and thought, 'Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze…how powerful are you?'
Cut! Okay this was mostly a filler chapter. It shows what ht results of the wave mission were and how everyone got what was coming to them. It was also a chance for Team 7 to become stronger. Well Sasuke is still arrogant, but I'm not sure whether I'll have him killed or have him alive. Anyway I'm thinking of having Naruto get his own personal summoning contract and I don't mean the toads or foxes. I'm thinking of something original. Okay see you next time.
