"We'll see about that, Tou-san," I said.
"Hmm," he only replied.
He took out a shuriken from his back pouch and threw it at me. The lightning protected it from me.
"I told ya," I smirked.
"Well, then...," he smirked,too. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
He made one clone.
'What are you up to?,' I wondered raising an eyebrow.
His clone made the Rasengan really fast. I stood still, knowing it wasn't going to hit me. his clone disappeared and he ran towards me.
"Rasengan!"
The Rasengan hit the Denkou Shield. It actually penetrated it! Kyuubi Denkou Modō actually failed and returned me to my normal state. A normal shinobi. It hit me in the lower part of my abdomen. I jumped back to cause anymore damage, blood flying in the air.
"Ugh! Nnh!"
"Yeah, I knew your little Kyuubi Denkou Modō was going to end quickly."
"You knew?!"
"Yup. It barely deflected the shuriken."
"And you still hit me with the Rasengan?!"
"Yup. Can you fight anymore."
I was hesitant. I looked down at the ground. I felt like the whole world was turning. I stepped back a little and fell back on my bottom. Tou-san sighed and scratched his head.
"I guess I took it too far," he said. "Should've went easier."
I gasped.
"You went easy on me?!"
"Maybe, maybe not. Do you think the Hokage is this strong or stronger?"
I looked away, not wanting to reply. I fell back on my back.
What was I thinking? Thinking I could beat the Hokage, that's what.
I crossed my arm over my eyes. I sighed in defeat, but smiled at the end. I may not have won, but it was a good match. To me, that is. But I think he did try more hard than a couple of years ago. I got hit with two Rasengans, got my taijutsus deflected, thrown in the water, and got my Kyuubi Denkou Modō to work. I guess I did lose this battle pretty badly. I chuckled to myself. I threw my left arm over my right shoulder to squeeze the wound under it. I brought my right arm around my stomach. I sat up.
"You can take it easy for the next day or two," Tou-san said. "I won't send your team on a mission."
"Alright."
"Well, if you TRULY become a Genin."
"Why are you laughing?! That wouldn't be funny!"
"Yeah, it will be a complete disaster!"
"Tch. Wait, what do ya mean if I TRULY become a Genin?!"
"Oh nothing,you'll find out."
"Stop smirking and tell me!"
"Maybe I should make Akira as your sensei."
"Don't ignore the question!"
"Come on, lets go."
"Stop avoiding it!"
He smiled and ran out towards the beginning of our forest. I followed him. Once we were out, we saw Sakura and Ino right outside the deadly traps.
"WAH!," I looked at their pissed faces.
"Run, Run, RUN!," Tou-san yelled.
I began to take off, when Ino grabbed me by my shirt.
"No, let me go!," I begged.
Sakura put Tou-san in a Full Nelson. Ino slapped me across the face making me spit spit out. I screamed in pain.
"OW, WHY DID YOU SLAP ME LIKE THAT?!," I wailed.
She slapped Tou-san, too and I had to laugh.
"Why is Atsuko injured?!," Sakura asked Tou-san.
"Well, we were fighting," he said.
"FIGHTING?!," Ino and Sakura yelled.
They slapped us again.
"WHY AM I GETTING SLAPPED?!," I screamed.
The girls sighed.
"Naruto, you should get back to work. We'll take Atsuko back to the hospital," Sakura said.
She let him go and he disappeared with a swirl of leaves. I sighed.
"You're staying with us at the hospital," Ino said.
"Kaa-san's home. I can leave," I said.
"NO!," they yelled.
I lowered my head, knowing I wasn't going to win the battle.
Once we got back to the hospital, Ino healed me with her medical ninjutsu.
"I'm back to the village, and this is how I'm treated," I mumbled.
Naruto's POV
I decided to hold a meeting with the Jonins for the new teams.
"Okay, anyone wants to go first?," I asked.
Akira raised his hand.
"Yes, Akira?," I called on him.
"I choose, U...," he started, but I cut him off.
"No, you cannot put your sister on your team," I said closing my eyes.
"Worth a shot. Okay, then. Akarui Koaru, Himuro Koichi, and Ishimaru Hideki," he said.
I nodded.
"Ooh, I'll go next," Fumiko raised her hand.
"Okay then, go ahead, Fumiko," I gave her the okay.
"Well, Jun's been begging me to do it and I believe she's a sweet kid," Fumiko smiled.
"You're talking about Atsuko?," I asked.
She nodded happily.
"So, I choose, Uzumaki Atsuko, Yamada Nao, and Koboyashi Dai," she said.
Tou-san chuckled.
"Atsuko is going to like this," he laughed.
Atsuko's POV
ACHOO!
"Whoa! Where that come from?!," I spoke to my nose and rubbed it.
"You're probably sick," Sakura sighed.
"Or someone is talking about me," I mumbled.
