A/N Ok people this might be my last post until the 5th of January 2015, I will be going on leave and I am moving so let's juggle kids, xmas season, moving and writing as I will be trying to write a few chapters when I have a chance to.

There are pictures of what I could find of the training destination and I hope you all enjoy it.

I am considering a 6 month time skip just to keep some things a surprise, so please let me know if you do what that ~shudders~ time skip. I will deal with my aversion by murdering a few more smokes…

Disclaimer: Once again I do not own Naruto but I do own Amai-san and a pair of fluffy show white slippers!

Here is the rewrite

Chapter 5 – Oh Kami!

Anko had finally made up her hay wired brain as to where she was taking the Hime. The land that has forgotten Wars or as everyone else knows it Yugakure. Hidan's country of birth, an involuntary shiver ran through Anko's spine as she thought of the Jashinist. They finally arrived at the tourist – like town that once was a prestigious shinobi village.

The reason Anko had brought Hinata here was because of a taijutsu specialist, much like Maito-Gai, resided here. The difference between the two was remarkable as Amai-san was a woman and she was not as exuberant as the green beast of Konoha but she was a lot more intense in her training. To the outer eye the woman was a reserved woman who seemed to demand respect wherever she went, but to those such as Anko who she considered family, Amai was a hilarious and comforting woman who reminded her of a mother she would have once known.

As Hinata and Anko entered the gate they were immediately asked for identification and for their reasons for visiting. They handed the documents over and Anko stated that she was here to visit a family member and Hinata was there for a vacation.

They were immediately welcomed in and Anko dragged Hinata to the back of the bustling tourist town, they entered what seemed to resemble the clan areas of Konoha but smaller. Anko walked as if she owned the town, which to Hinata was nothing new, they finally reached a compound that resemblance that of the Inuzuka compound. Large houses and a lot of open fields, though there were no yipping ninken around.

Anko walked to the gates and pushed them open, she then strode towards what appeared to be the main house, Hinata followed meekly, her head bowed and her hands inter-locked in front of her. "Oi Okaasan!" Anko yelled out and Hinata almost ground her teeth as she knew that such behaviour was disrespectful by most clans across the Shinobi Nations.

Much to Hinata's surprise, a yell reverberated from the house. "Yeah Yeah Snake I'll be there now, I'm getting old here be patient." The voice was filled with a fake sarcasm. The doors opened and a tall, well-built woman appeared, her hair was a snow like colour and her eyes were crimson, she was wearing a white battle kimono and a vibrant red flower was in her hair. Hinata would have guessed this woman was not a day older than Anko.

"I see you finally got your butt in gear and came to visit your old Okaasan." Anko exploded out laughing and Amai reached behind her and pulled out a red fan and literally bonked Anko on the head. Anko merely rubbed the sore spot. "Okaasan I'd like you to meet Hinata-Hime, my apprentice. Hime, this is the woman that literally brought me back to life from the shell that Orochimaru created, this is my Okaasan, Amai-san."

Hinata bowed respectfully but received a hit from the same fan that Anko had. "Ow!." Hinata cringed at her loud outburst. "Hime 'ey. I take it from your eyes Hyuuga right?" Hinata merely nodded as she nursed the bump on her head. "Well then why did Anko drag you all the way out here? I doubt it was for actual vacation time." Hinata blushed crimson at the fact that their lie was so easily detected. "Well I am u-under the tutelage of Anko-san." Amai immediately started rubbing her temples. "Hebi and Byakugan combination, is that what you were thinking Anko?" Anko merely nodded sheepishly. "Fine get inside, wash up and then we will eat." Amai gave Anko a look through her long lashes that said that she would have appreciated a heads-up.

Anko lead Hinata into the main house and up a lavish stair case. They finally stopped in front of two closed doors. "The door with the white snake emblem on it is my room." She pointed out the door on the right. "This one is yours." She then pushed open the door to the left. The place was decorated in a dark blue and a turquoise colour; it reminded Hinata of the sea and somewhat of Naruto's eyes. Hinata sighed softly. "Be ready in an hour, Amai can get pretty fussy about timing."

Anko left Hinata, knowing that the poor little genin was pushed had over the last four days. She then went into her room, nothing had changed and no dust collected. Her walls were still a pale apricot colour and her bedding a blood red. The pictures of her and Amai were still in place and the jar that held Sera's first peeling was still next to the frame on the bookshelf.

Hinata immediately moved to the adjoining bathroom and started the shower; she then proceeded to unseal her clothes and her toiletries. After setting everything out she undressed and climbed into the warm fountain. After a couple of seconds of relaxing she proceeded to wash the grime and dust of travelling of her skin.

Her thoughts travelled to her team and to the remaining members of Team Seven. She knew that the betrayal of Sasuke ran deep within the Rookie squads but for Team Seven it was like severing a pulsing artery with a blunt kunai. Brutal.

Naruto and the Pervy Sage had finally reached Mount Myobuku. Naruto was exhausted and mad at the Sage because he refused to "travel by toad" as Naruto so eloquently stated it. He wanted his training to start and fast.

Jiraya sat at the feet of the large Toad Sage's resting place and Naruto grumbled about just trying to wake the big guy up. With a glare at Naruto from the Pervy Sage, Naruto was silenced and he joined Jiraya. It took a whole four hours which included discussions of Sasuke, Ramen and the possible uses for a Rasengan, for the Toad to wake up.

"Jiraya my boy." The big toad's voice bellowed over the hills. Jiraya merely grinned. "Hey Gammamura. I have brought my apprentice here and I request that he would be trained in the Toad-style Sage mode." For once Jiraya's voice was respectful and it left Naruto with a gaping expression that resembled that of a goldfish.

"Remember my prophesy, Jiraya my boy." Jiraya nodded solemnly. "Though I do think that your request is approved." The two elder toads that sat alongside the large toad nodded in agreement.

Naruto had to bite his tongue as he tried to remain respectful but the orange clad shinobi was literally bubbling inside. He was excited and nervous. Finally he will be trained properly, not like in the academy where he was just skimmed over until Iruka-Sensei took him under his tutelage.

To say that he felt that he needed to do his best was an understatement. He knew that this was an opportunity that not many shinobi had.

As they walked to where he and the Pervy Sage would be setting up camp, his thoughts drifted to the other Rookies. Wondering how they all will change in the year to come. He couldn't wait to spar with them.

Hinata was almost purring with delight as she saw the large buffet that was set out in front of them. "Well eat. I am not waiting for you." Amai grabbed her plate and her chopsticks then proceeded to fill her plate with various traditional meals. Anko followed suite. Hinata blushed but the proceeded to dish for herself. "So." Amai mumbled over a mouth full of rice. "Hebi and Byakugan, it is going to be difficult but I do see the potential in this." Hinata merely chewed in silence. "Yeah but I have no idea how to combine it." Anko replied just as she finished chewing a piece of fried fish. "Is she flexible?" Anko nodded rather enthusiastically.

"I see. Well then that is an advantage." Hinata knew not to disturb the woman as she already knew that this training was going to be cruel but in the end worth it. "Once you are done eating and have tidied up. Meet me out back. Oh and dress for training." Hinata almost paled at the thought of training after consuming such a large meal.

"Don't worry Hime; it's going to be ok." Anko grinned sadistically. After they finished eating they proceeded to clean up the dining area. Anko showed Hinata to the kitchen where they would be putting the dishes for the staff to clean up. "Amai-san is a believer in chores. So when we are here you clean your own room and you carry the dishes to the kitchen. The rest the staff does."

Hinata ran up to her room and exchanged her kimono for her training gear and then met Anko downstairs in record time. Anko then led her out a set of doors towards the back of the house, she then pushed the doors open to reveal something similar to a hot spring but there were odd patterns of cobblestones in-between the baths and there were training dummies stationed in the water, in the paths and some hanging from strange mechanisms right above the boiling water.

"Oh Kami." Hinata whispered.
