Kale's POV
"Fu is ready for another intense day of hard work." The girl cheered adjusting the tightness of the headband on her arm.
"That's pretty common for you Fu." I laughed.
"Let's go, let's go." She nodded.
"Alright I told her to calm down." I said walking out of the house.
I made sure all three of my staves were strapped to my back and Fu and I headed out. The village was busy as always, people going in and out, lots of commotion. Over the last few months Fu officially joined the Leaf Village and her and I have been partners ever since. Her hyper personality matches up well with my more peaceful style. The secret of her being the Seven Tails Host is still a secret, but people do ask questions when it comes to her Jutsu.
"Hmm?" I turned the corner and stopped suddenly.
"OUF!" Fu groaned walking into me "Watch it!"
"HEY!"
"Fu…is there a blonde haired boy about twenty feet away."
"Yes." She nodded.
"HEY!" I waved "Naruto!"
It seems he had finally returned and was talking with Sakura and Kakashi-Sensei already.
"It's been years." I said shaking his hand.
Naruto was about the same, just taller, he was still shorter than me but a half foot or so but he was now taller than Sakura. Naruto and I were already talking and catching up.
"Ahem." Fu coughed.
"Oh right, Naruto this is my friend Fu." I said introducing her.
"Pleasure to meet you, Kale has told Fu much about you." She smiled shaking his hand.
"So uh…is she your girlfriend or something?" Naruto asked
"You sound like my mother!" I snapped "Fu and I are just friends."
I quickly grabbed Naruto and huddled with him "Listen idiot I've been working on flirting with Fu for the last few months, don't screw this up for me got it."
"HM!" He gave me a positive nod and grunt.
Sakura, Naruto and I started catching up, this was the first time in years the three of us had all been together like this…it felt comforting.
"So, how do I look?" Sakura asked "Am I more womanly?"
"You look fine." Naruto shrugged.
"Still an idiot." I sighed as Sakura scolded him for being rude.
"Naruto!" a voice yelled.
I looked over and saw a naked woman with big boobs.
"WOW!" I yelled.
"Idiot!" Fu and Sakura yelled punching me.
"So how was it?" Konohamaru asked transforming back to normal.
"Hmm…" Naruto sighed "I'm not a kid anymore Konohamaru. You shouldn't be using Jutsu like that."
"How mature of you." I scoffed.
I was expecting him to back me up but I ended up making a fool of myself, don't tell me the idiot actually matured?
"That was mediocre!" Naruto yelled "Now behold the true pervert Jutsu I developed."
"You idiot!" Sakura yelled punching him into the ground "I can't believe I actually thought you had changed! Two years and the first thing you do when we meet back up is jump into creepy crap like that?"
"Sakura calm down." Kakashi-Sensei said "You're gonna scare the kids around here."
"Well the nostalgia ends here." Tsunade said "Kakashi…"
"Right, it has been a while since the four of us met like this." Sensei said "So from here on the three of you are back on team missions with me. This is different than the last time, you're not my students, we'll operate as equal colleagues."
"Can we even operate as a team of four?" I asked "Sakura and I aren't what you'd call front line fighters, and we're used to operating as a five man cell."
"If you need a fifth Fu is available." The girl said "Miss Hokage is it alright if Fu joins as their fifth?"
"You and Kale do all your work together anyway…I guess it makes sense." Tsunade sighed "Very well consider Fu your new member."
"Hooray!" the girl cheered standing on one foot and holding her arms up, that's the signature 'Fu is excited' pose.
"First I'll need to test you four." Sensei said "Luckily I bought a few more this time."
He dug into his pocket and pulled out four bells "Same rules as last time. You'll never win unless you come at me with all you've got."
We headed out to the training field and got set up.
"Same rules as last time." Sensei said "You have till sunset."
"This place takes me back." Naruto said.
"That's right, this is where we first trained." Sensei pointed out.
"As Team-7." Sakura sighed.
"Back then Sasuke was around…"
"Fu senses that everyone is down in the dumps." She said "Do you not want Fu here?"
"No Fu, you'll fit right in." I smiled.
"Well…let's begin." Sensei smiled closing his book.
"No holding back." Naruto tightened his band.
"You're not reading this time?" I asked.
"Have you already finished?" Sakura said putting her gloves on.
"I have a feeling I won't be able to." He laughed pulling his band up and exposing his eye.
In a blink Naruto started hurling shurikens at Sensei. Sensei swatted them back, Naruto jumped up and used one of his clones as a large shuriken.
He used his clones to dodge.
"Well your timing hasn't changed." Sensei said grabbing him from behind as another clone pointe a kunai at his back.
"Okay, we can start." Sensei said vanishing.
"He's below!" Sakura yelled punching the ground.
The ground shattered and crumbled from the force of Sakura's blow.
"He's there!" I pointed at Sensei.
I reached on to my back and pulled out a staff, the dreamcatcher one. I focused my chakra, and waved my staff.
"Ether Shackle!"
I held the staff with two hands, a series of thin yellow tendrils shot out and wrapped Sensei up.
"Silver Mist Breath!" Fu took in a breath before blowing out a stinging silver steam.
Sensei pushed on my shackles and broke free and disappeared before Fu could hit him.
"Rats…" Fu hissed.
The four of us attacked a few more times before Sensei disappeared. Even with me boosting Naruto's speed or increasing Sakura's monster strength we still couldn't get close to the bells.
"There has to be a weak point." Sakura said as we regrouped.
"You three know him best." Fu said "Any ideas?"
"Hmm…I've got it!" Naruto gasped.
"You're coming up with our plan?" I asked "Well…what is it?"
Naruto had us huddle up and explain his idea.
"It could work…"
"I see…"
"Let's do it!"
The four of us got into position and started our attack.
"Scatter!" I threw the three staves around Sensei "Three Layer Sealing Circle! Binding Fiend Hands!"
A group of black nightmare hands rose up and grabbed Sensei's legs. Fu slid by and started moving her hands.
"Bee Stingers!"
Fu's hands transformed into sharp stingers.
"Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto yelled "The big climax of Make out Paradise is-."
"Shut up!" Sensei covered his ears and closed his eyes "I don't want to know!"
Fu and Sakura dashed by and snipped the four bells off Sensei's waist.
"Hehehe." Sakura laughed "We win Sensei."
"Fu is the victor!"
"Go us!"
Later
"I'm surprised you guys are even stronger than I expected." Sensei said.
"Maybe I surpassed you Kakashi-Sensei." Naruto laughed.
"I'm still young." Sensei said "I've developed a brilliant new Jutsu myself."
"Still I haven't gone home or to get Ramen yet!" Naruto yelled.
"I'm a little hungry too." Sakura blushed.
"Fu could use food!"
"I wouldn't mind a meal." I shrugged "Let's go."
"Well I have to go fill out the team forms." Sensei said "See ya."
He disappeared and left the four of us there.
"Well Naruto, it'll be your treat." Sakura said.
"So like a date?" he wondered.
"Fu and I are still here." I said.
"Double date then." Naruto nodded digging through his wallet.
"Ah!" Sakura gasped and started waving "Shikamaru! Temari!"
"Hey!" Shikamaru looked over at us "Is that Naruto? When did you get back?"
"Just yesterday." Naruto laughed.
"Hey Temari do you have that thing I asked for?" I asked.
"Umm no Kankuro is still getting it together for you." She said "I'm sure he'll tell you when it's ready. Trust my brother, he's your friend isn't he?"
"Okay." I grumbled "Fine…I'm banking on him to get me what I asked for."
"So." Naruto nudged Shikamaru "Are you two on some kind of date?"
"No." Shikamaru rolled his eyes.
"I've made that joke a dozen times with these two." I told Naruto "I get the same answer every time, no."
"Like I'd go out with him." Temari said "I'm here for the Chunin exam, I'm the messanger from the sand for the examiners."
"And I'm the examiner." Shikamaru said "It's a real drag."
"The Chunin exam…that brings back memories." Naruto sighed.
"What are you doing about it?" Shikamaru said.
"Huh?"
"It's the Chunin exam, and you're the only one from our class to not be a Chunin." Shikamaru said.
"EHHH?!" Naruto yelled "You mean you two…"
"Yep." Sakura and I stuck our tongues out.
"Fu is a Chunin too." The green haired girl smiled.
"Neji, Kankuro and Temari are already Jounin." Shikamaru said.
"I came this close." I said holding up my fingers "and I lost out to Neji."
"But…what about Gaara?" Naruto asked.
"You should be more polite Naruto." I smiled "He goes by Kazekage now."
"Wait Gaara is…Kazekage?!" Naruto yelled.
