Chapter 4 [Explanations]

'Yes… for the hundreds thousand times yes. I can control the five main elements without any chakra at all! NON!' Rin shouted and Sakura sighed, both actions purely out of annoyance. Naruto was asking the same questions all over again, and Rin figured it was pretty hard for him to figure out.

Rin was then instantly transported back to the explanations she gave Kakashi.

'So, you're saying that you are able to control the elements easily without forming hand seals and can control anything that is still related to that?' Kakashi asked still trying to digest my explanation.

'Yes, and by relation… ok, what about water! So for example, blood, blood has a hint of water in it right? It is liquid just like juice and everything yeah?' Rin said trying to make this easier to understand. She had never had the talent for doing so though.

Kakashi nodded signaling Rin could continue.

'So instead of controlling only pure water I can control water that are contained everywhere. Even the water in the trees and grass.' Rin explained again.

Kakashi's face still looked disturb, he's still trying to figure out how she does that and why other ninja's can't.

'Ok, never mind just … can I borrow your body a while?' Rin asked.

'Borrow my what?' Kakashi snapped.

'Just… observe.' Rin said and focused on Kakashi's blood veins in his foot and lifting it.

'See that?' Rin asked, waiting for Kakashi to say something.

Kakashi now was beginning to finally understand her theory because Rin did a double check in his head to make sure he understood.

'They move according to my command… and it is also important to have the perfect control because I am controlling a blood vessel, if not I might break it.'

'So, it's like chakra control but in a whole different way.' Kakashi said finally looking into Rin's eyes with his one.

'Yes! Finally you understood!' Rin said as she fell back on his couch.

'Very impressive indeed… but… can other shinobi do this? Controlling the elements….' Kakashi asked.

'Some can, but it's very rare too meet one… but I bet I'm the only one left unless I teach you guys, and most people would want to keep it a secret because … well they would be used for tools.' Rin explained while Kakashi nodded, ' You must have a very strong link to the element itself to actually get hold of it and control and command it freely.' Rin said as she continued, she placed her hands behind her head then laid down on the couch and look up at the ceiling of Kakashi's apartment. She had already let go of his foot's blood vessels.

'And if you are thinking about your element then yes. You can control yours freely but not like me, you can shape your lightning if you learn the proper technique and way. I can teach you…' Rin said.

Kakashi remained silent for a while and nodded.

'Ok… but I'm sure Sakura and Naruto would want to hear about your explanation… I don't think leaving them out is a good thing.' Kakashi said.

'Roger that.'

As Rin recalled last night's explanation a smile appeared across her lips, she's teaching the best Jounin in the Hidden Leaf and that alone gave her enough confidence that she will serve well to Konoha.

'Hey Rin…'

'Yes Sakura sempai?'

'Do you learn medical jutsu?' Sakura asked.

'I do…' Rin replied.

'That explains the really good control on chakra… how did you manage then?' Sakura asked as she sat beside me.

'My mother insisted I learned a tinsy bit of medical jutsu…and I mostly did it anyway… I'm just an average healer… no better than you or your master…' Rin said as she looked up at the blue cloudy sky. Rin could hear Naruto in a distance still talking to himself on how impossible it was to cast almost every elemental jutsu without hand seals. But Rin remembered telling him they were not jutsus.

'I can teach you! I have plenty of free time now that my training lessons are lessen anyways.' Sakura said, 'and besides, you'll be my first student!'

'Really?' Rin asked, eyes begging her to do so.

'Of course! And it will be fun!' Sakura said as Rin looked at her sparkling emerald green eyes.

'Thank you!' Rin said and couldn't stop herself from giving Sakura a hug.

'Whoa, hey there, it's not much…' Sakura said returning her hug.

'But I just want to thank you anyway. But I'll have to find some other way to thank you…' Rin said as she pulled away and placed her finger on her chin.

'Rin…' Kakashi called out to her and looked her in the eye trying to communicate with her. Then it hit. She whipped her head around to look at Sakura and said: 'I have the best repayment.'

'Like this?' Kakashi asked as he held out his hand to show Rin his Chidori being shaped into a sharper object.

'Perfect!' Rin said.

'Impressive…. And it didn't use much chakra at all.' Kakashi mumbled to himself.

'Rin! Rin! Look! I made a tiny bird with this…this fire!' Sakura screamed in delight as she held up her firebird. It must be because of her perfect chakra control, she was able to manage this in 2 hours! It took Rin her first try but still Sakura was a natural at this.

'I still… can't…make it…' Naruto whined as he tried to form something out of the wind.

Rin smacked her hand on her forehead and walked over to Naruto.

'Naruto…' Rin said calmly, 'it's wind, you can't created a dragon or bird you can only shape it and make it sharper.' Rin said.

'Oh…' Naruto sighed.

'Hey! Wind is not useless….' Rin shouted, detecting the thoughts from Naruto, ' Anyways let's start by swinging your hands like this, ' Rin explained as she lifted her right hand, ' and you throw your kunai like this yeah? But try to shape it in the wind and…' Rin swung her arm forward and sliced the tree in half. 'And that, is how you do it.' Rin said as she proudly crossed her arms above her chest and looked at Naruto's stunned face.

'Wow….'

'Come on try it, I know you can do it.' I said and gave a pat on Naruto's shoulder.

'You mean like this?' Naruto asked, as if he suddenly snapped out of a gaze and lifted his hand and swung. And another tree came down in half.

'You got it!' Rin said and jumped up and down clapping her hands.

'I did it!' Naruto whispered to himself, ' I DID IT!' Naruto shouted.

'Rin! Think fast!' Sakura screamed and sent the firebird in my way.

I dodged it and absorbed the fire element and smiled at Sakura, 'you did it too! Man! You guys are fast learners!'

Sakura then gleamed with joy.

I looked over at Kakashi and saw that he created a Lightning Phoenix, it was much better than my first try dragon version of course. Kakashi looked at me and gave me his crinkled eye smile, ' Thank you…' Kakashi whispered in his head with sounded like his voice in my mind.

'Your welcome.' Rin said out loud and approached him and took the phoenix in her hands.

'It's beautiful…' Rin said as she admired the phoenix again, this time closer, where the electrical blue aura surrounded it like a shell as it glows brightly. So gorgeous… yet deadly… I like it.

Kakashi just nodded in acknowledgement stuffed his hands into his pocket and resumed his relaxed position.

Rin then absorb the phoenix into her palms and dropped her arms to her sides.

'What do you wanna do now?' Rin asked.

Kakashi just remained silent and stared off into nothingness.

'Kakashi! Kakashi sensei!' Rin called.

Kakashi who seemed so relaxed a moment ago immediately tensed up and whipped his head to look over at Rin.

'Kakashi… no flashbacks right now ok?' Rin said as she placed a comforting hand on his arm.

'Yeah….' Kakashi replied.

'Hey, I'll teach you how I kill silently…. Or maybe even enlist myself into Anbu if I can.' Rin said as she placed her hands on her hips.

'Anbu huh…' Kakashi mumbled, 'but why? You have a team now…'

'Rin! Rin! Look! I beat Sakura's fire!' Naruto screamed.

'What? No! You made it stronger!' Sakura screamed back at him.

Rin giggled and walked towards them while Kakashi watched as she goes.

Kakashi was being reminded so much of his Genin days where, Rin, Obito, Minato sensei and himself were a team. He missed them… he missed all of them. He looked as Rin taught Naruto how to control his hand movements, and as he watched he started to feel a little flutter in his stomach and risked a blush.

But what he didn't know is that he was falling for her.
