1zara-uchiha1 and I don't own the Naruto cast or anything else you might recognize. 1zara-uchiha1 owns Laura and I own Kahlan. Together we own the plot.

Chapter 86

Note: Do not question the methods of training from ninjas… they know stuff.

~Laura's POV

I cheer happily to myself as Pein calls for the break… oh thank you lord oh lord. My side is hurting like… I cannot describe this feeling… like it's burning.

"Hip-hip-hooray," I say lightly while slowly picking myself off of the ground, my sides hurt a lot… so mean this chakra.

I slowly and somewhat painfully walk into the house to see my parents, Mr. and Dr. Ward as well as my brother by the door, all ready to go.

Ignoring the pain in my sides, I skip over to my family before giving my parents a hug, automatically getting one back from the two.

"Have fun in England, don't forget to give Kim and Cali a hug for me okay," I say to the two while hugging them, Kim and Cali are our two female, sisters Pomeranians. Kim is black Pomeranian and Cali is a white with black spots Pomeranian.

"I will, they miss you," my mum says as I pout a little, I miss my babies, they are about four years old now. I force a smile on as my dad gives me a hug, chuckling at my smile before I look to my brother, giving him a blank look.

"Well… it was… fine… seeing ya sister," he says while giving me a smirk which I blink at… he is trying to be nice? That is new.

"Yeah… you too," I say while blinking before giving him a childish grin, he returns the childish grin with an even bigger smirk. I watch as Kahlan walks to her parents as I notice her lips are a little red as well as her hands, must be tough fire training.

I watch as they calmly exchange their goodbyes and share quick hugs. My mum grins to Kahlan before hugging a huge hug.

"You're welcome to visit us in England anytime," my mum says as I pale a little, no, no, NO not the dreaded plane of doom!

"Yeah, drag Little Legs if you have to," my dad joins while giving Kahlan a grin and a thumbs up as I stick my tongue out at him, I'm not little I am fun sized! My dad seems to see me sticking my tongue out at him which he returns, causing me to use the nearest person as a shield from him, that lucky person is Kakuzu~!

Kakuzu only glances down to me as my parents look to everyone with their grin and my brother is already making his way outside… lovely.

"Look after Little Legs well, she's too innocent for her own good," and whose fault is that? I question mentally as my dad shakes Pein's hand who nods his reply to my dad. I just notice my dad is taller than Pein! AWESOME!

"Also, please look after my daughter," Mr. Ward says as well as shaking Pein's hand, they know he is the leader, he does act like one.

"Hai," Pein only says while looking to the two fathers before my dad leads the way out, everyone seems to say their goodbyes as I follow to the outside and wave to the two families as they get into their cars and drive off.

I continue to wave till the two cars can no longer be seen then I slowly lower my hand. What time is it~?

"Hey Kahlan, is it lunch time?" I ask while skipping over to her with a grin, if it is I am asking for ramen.

"Let me check," she says before slowly walking into the kitchen where the big clock is, "its half passed twelve, so yes it is lunch time," she says with a smile before getting some bits out to make lunch. I grin happily at the thought of food before skipping over to her.

"Can I have ramen?" I ask with glee as she looks to me before nodding, Yay! I grin even more before jogging over to the cupboard and pull some ramen cups out, I'll have chicken today. I put the other cups back before jogging over to Kahlan with my cup; she opens the lid before filling it with already boiled water as I plop down at the table, ready for my ramen.

I watch with glee as Kahlan puts my cup down at the table, chopsticks on top of it with a smile, "Thank you millions," I say with my grin before quickly hugging her before taking my seat again.

"You're welcome," she says with a smile as I pick up my chopsticks and try a little of my ramen, it's been for-ev-er since I've had ramen.

"That stuff isn't healthy," I hear someone say from behind me as I look up and behind me to see Sasuke standing there before sitting down to my left.

"I don't have it that often, plus its lovely," I say with my grin before eating a small mouthful, humming with happiness at the taste, I love this stuff!

"Hn," I am greeted with as I continue to eat my loving noodles but stop eating before looking to him.

"You know training isn't going to be for another half an hour right?" I ask while nibbling on the end of my chopstick a little. He nods a little while watching me nibble on this wooden stick, "why you waiting here, there are other things to do ya know," I say while picking up a long string of noodle as he shrugs his shoulders, probably couldn't find anything else to do~

I continue to hum with happiness as I finish off my ramen with happiness. Best. Ramen. Ever. I smile a little to Sasuke before jumping off of my seat and quickly go to get changed, if my chakra is water I better put a swimsuit under my clothes in case I get soaked.

I quickly close my door and pick up my only swimsuit that fits, the swimsuit from the beach. Its light blue with the white flower and ribbons, the front of it ends just above my bellybutton and the bottom part of it is a normal bikini bottoms, light blue like the top. I place a baggy light blue tee shirt on top of it before pulling on some white shorts.

With a nod, I head into the living room where everyone seems to be, I smile to everyone before adventuring outside to continue my training, and I cannot wait to continue my training so I'll train alone for now.

I walk over to the training spot where the pond is along with the long row of trees.

I slowly walk over to the trees and try to remember the tips that Sakura gave Naruto when he asked for help with climbing trees… umm… let me think… well you walk up the trees with the palm of your feet… so chakra is at the sole of your feet… what else… well chakra moulding is mental and physical… they have to be balanced… so I gotta stay calm when first learning it… so I cannot stress out like Naruto did… okay! That makes sense!

With a nod, I slowly flow the chakra to my feet and slowly put my foot on the bark of the tree. It's a little loose still. I smile a little while staying calm, I flow more chakra into my feet but soon after I do that the bark starts to break, creaking slightly under my foot.

I quickly put my foot down and sigh. Well, first times mostly fail.

I try again and again for almost half an hour till I am finally able to walk up the tree for about five steps till I fall, back first into the ground.

"Owwwieeeee," I whine while lying on the floor, I stare at the tree as my back slowly stops stinging, there are marks in the tree from where my chakra has broken the bark and there are also weird wet marks on the bark for some reason, it might be my chakra or something.

I slowly stand up and stretch my back out, feeling a little sore from all the falling onto the floor but that is nothing to all the beatings I have gotten from fighting with Deidara, Pein, Itachi and Hidan. They are kinder evil like that, Hidan even gave me a scar on my side before but thankfully he didn't use his Jutsu on me, if he did I would be died.

"What are you doing," I hear someone ask as I spin on my heels to see Kahlan walking over with bottles of water. I pant a little before smiling, oh water~ I could use some water right now~

"I am trying to climb this tree," I say while pointing upwards to the tree and to the broken bark marks. Kahlan nods her head a little before handing me a bottle of the water which I happily take a huge gulp of, oh thank you lord for water~! "Thanks," I say while wiping my mouth a little as Kahlan smiles before looking at the broken bark marks on the tree.

"Did you do these?" she asks as I nod with a proud grin, these prove I have been improving! I slowly put my bottle down before closing my eyes and flowing my chakra to my feet with ease, I open my eyes and sprint towards the tree before running up it, I get about six steps up the tree before falling backwards and to the ground again.

"Damn it," I growl slightly while looking to the sixth mark on the tree, only six steps, how the heck am I going to get to the top at this speed.

"Are you okay?" Kahlan asks while helping me off of the ground, the ground is a hard thing to land on, I will never sleep on it again. I nod my head a little before stretching myself out a little. "That was pretty cool, did Leader teach you that?" Kahlan asks as I freeze a little… opps… he didn't so it's a little suspicious that I knew how to… think Laura think…

"I didn't, he said he'd teach me later but I got too excited so I taught myself, I know it involves chakra so I guessed that you used chakra to grip onto the bark and I was right~ I can grip onto the wood no problem it's just walking up it is hard," I explain with a pout as I cross my arms over each other, its waaay harder than it looks, it's like trying to ice-skate. You have no idea how to do it, you have to learn first-hand because watching it then doing it isn't possible.

"Excellent," Kahlan says while giving me a small hug as I hug back quickly. My back hurts a little bit from all the falling, I'm sure I fell over fifth times, I wouldn't stay on the ground long before running straight up the tree again.

"Onto the next part of the training," I hear Pein yell as we pull apart from the hug and see Pein walking over with Itachi and Kisame, Kisame seems to be grinning very happily for some reason while Itachi is walking over like he's taking a pleasant stroll through the woods. "Since Laura's chakra is water, her sensei for now will be Kisame. Kahlan, yours is fire so Itachi will be your sensei," Pein says while looking from me to Kisame then Kahlan to Itachi. "To get into the relationship of student and sensei, prefer to one another as sensei and student, that is an order," Pein orders before looking to everyone before walking back to the house, "training will stop at dinner and continue afterwards," he calls backwards while walking, coolio! My teacher is Kisame! The shark-dude! The blue awesome person!

"Let's start my student," Kisame says with a chuckle and grin as I grin back and jump a little, this should be awesome.

"Follow me," Itachi calls while walking away from the group and heading over to the other side of the huge pond, the pond is huge and looks more like a lake to me. Kahlan nods her head to me with a smile before following after Itachi to the other side of the lake.

"Okay Kisame…-sensei," I pause while saying that which makes him grin, it seems Kisame enjoys being called sensei, "what do we do first?" I ask while jumping a little on my spot, very excited.

"Well my student," Kisame begins while walking closer to the lake, he seems to also enjoy saying 'my student' "we're start with a D-rank Jutsu called 'Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu' which is the simplest water styled Jutsu I know," he says with his grin attached before making the sign where you have your index and middle finger straight while the other fingers are in a first and your thumb in up as well.

"Sounds coolio sensei," I say with a grin before copying the sign he is making, this sign is pretty easy and comfortable to make.

Kisame grins again before taking a deep breath, "this Jutsu is quite simple, you bend your chakra and imagine it as water in your stomach and lung, when its changed into water, expel it from your mouth as a mist so it covers the battle area you are in, this Jutsu is very useful as your opponent cannot see anything in this mist and the Uchiha's Sharingan cannot see through it since the mist is made of chakra so they see it as colour," Kisame says with a grin as I nod my head with everything he says, thank you lord Kisame is my teacher and uses very simple terms for me.

I watch carefully as he takes another breath in before breathing out with the mist, its covers the whole lake area… well not Itachi and Kahlan's side but our side.

I blink my eyes a few times while looking round, okay; I cannot see a single thing in this fog! "Sensei! Where are you?" I call out while looking round; seriously I cannot see anything in this mist.

"And that is how the Jutsu is done," he says from his original spot as the mist starts to lift. I look to him as I see him breathing in the mist as it disappears completely. I clap my hands with a grin as he grins back to me with his shark like grin. "Now it's your turn, my student," he orders as I nod my head, he really loves saying that.

I nod my head while walking over to the lake and making the same sign he did. I try my best to breath in deep while slowly, flowing my chakra into my chest, stomach and lungs before turning it. I feel the wetness in my lungs and stomach so I carefully breathe out the water which soon turns into mist as I open one of my eyes. I watch as it covers quite a bit of the area, probably about five feet less than the area Kisame covered but together I am very proud of myself.

"That's my student," I hear him say with a chuckle as I grin at my result… now how to get the mist to go, "now, breath in your chakra like your breathing in your food's smell," I giggle slightly at the way he explains it before breathing in deeply and calmly, I keep one eye open as I watch the mist slowly disappear and I notice something. I don't feel tired at all.

"What's next then~" I ask with a grin as he walks over then ruffles my hair which causes me to swat his hand away with a glare.

"No glaring at your sensei," he says with sternness before chuckling, this causes me to laugh a little before resisting the urge to swat his hand away a little as he ruffles my hair a little before pulling his hand away. "Since you know the Jutsu well enough to cover a decent battle area, we'll move onto a C rank Jutsu. Let's try the 'Water Clone Jutsu'," he says with a grin as my eyes light up, I'll be able to make a clone of myself! That sounds sooooo epic!

"Hai-Hai sensei~" I sing with a tune while saluting him, this sounds soo epic! I cannot wait!

"Let's start now, we should have it done by dinner," he says with a shark-like grin as I bounce on the spot some more, I really want to get my own clone! Epicness times ten million!

I hope Kahlan gets lots done and I get to show her my clone afterwards~!
