Tobirama smacked his forehead. When had stated that they would train earlier that morning, he do not mean this.


Madara and Hashirama were trying to teach the three Genin about Anatomy. This would have been a good thing, had Madara not tried to use Kakashi as a cutting board. Everytime Madara or Hashirama would tell the three about what spot was fatal to hit, Madara tried to hit Kakashi in that spot as well. Tobirama sighed, and, for the hundredth time, stopped Madara from stabbing Kakashi in the kidneys. He ripped the kunai from the Uchiha's hands, and glared slightly.

"Madara, stop it already. You're teaching the kids all about mutiny to their superiors." Madara raised a brow, and snatched his kunai back.

"And how is that a bad thing?" Tobirama glared more.

"One child has the Sharingan, another is a Jinchuriki, and the last has almost perfect chakra control. Do the math." Madara glared back.

"I was terrible at math, and you know it. It was one of the many reasons I refused to do the Uchiha paperwork." Tobirama sighed, and turned away.

"Stop preaching disobedience." He said, before turning to the wide-eyed Genin. "Any of you kids want to learn the Tree Climbing exercise?" Naruto cheered loudly, as did Sakura, while Sasuke smirked. Naruto wrapped his arms around Tobirama.

"Yahoo! Can we learn it now, Tobirama-aniki? Huh? Huh? Can we!" Tobirama smiled softly, and patted the blond on the head.

"Sure. First, channel your chakra to your feet." The Genin nodded, determined, and made a single hand seal. "Alright, after that, just try to climb a tree using only your feet and chakra." He then demonstrated how to do it. "Got it?" Naruto grinned, and dashed up the closest tree. He made it one metre or so off the ground, before plummeting back down. Sasuke smirked, and tried it himself. He made it just over two metres before being launched back. Sakura watched her two teammates, before trying to walk up the tree. She succeeded in making all the way to the top on her first try.

"I did it!" She shouted happily, causing everyone to look up. Naruto grinned and waved at her.

"Good going, Sakura-chan!" Sasuke frowned, and tried to analyze what she did.

"Yeah..." He muttered, before attempting to walk up the tree. Naruto, seeing that Sasuke was now slowly progressing farther, copied the Uchiha. Tobirama stood off to the side. He looked up at Sakura.

"Pinkie, continue to walk up and down the tree. It will help build your chakra." He turned to the boys. "If you master this exercise by tomorrow, I'll teach you to Water Walk." He smirked when the boys started working harder. A body ramming into him and holding him as a human shield made him sigh. Madara and Hashirama came from the bushes.

"Aw, he's hiding behind my brother. Dammit Madara, if only you were more accurate with your kunai." Madara glared at Hashirama.

"It's not my fault! You tripped me!" Tobirama rubbed the bridge of his nose in exasperation. This mission was going to be exhausting.
