Each morning you will spend with Hana, she will spar with you and handle sparring with you to give you some more experience with a more physical style, one that relies on guerilla tactics. That will be a useful tactic against so many people. The goal is to get you to the point that you can blitz others and focus on your feet. She will also really, really help your stamina, something you've always struggled with. If anyone can help there, it's an Inuzuka.

Should I not die from reverse summoning myself, I will take care of you in the afternoons and evening. We will still spar more, and work on water jutsu. I don't have much in terms of power, but what I do mixed with your own Gentle Fist should tear that armor into mud.

I would have had Yugao help you, if I could, but I cannot get a hold of her, for some reason. Now, let's see if I can reverse summon." Mika said, eager and nervous at once to Hinata, who smiled at him with all her beauty. "Wish me luck."

"You won't need it... but good luck anyway."

Going through the needed handsigns, Mika slit his finger and slammed it on the ground. "Reverse summoning jutsu!"

And in a puff of smoke, he was gone, torn from the world he had once been at, appearing instantly in a warm, wet forest, face to face with a green reptile. Horned and dangerous, it looked utterly without mercy. It was maybe fifty feet long, not counting it's take or massive horns. He was ready to fight back, hands twitching to grab his blade.

Then, to his shock, it laughed. "You look ready to piss yourself. Names Koga, and you are?"

"Mika... I reversed summoned myself here, wherever here is."

"All, we just call it the Forest." He smiled. "Come with me, child, I think it's time for you to meet our chieftain. Lady Moroha."

Mika nodded, following after the surprisingly fast lumbering creature. As he passed through, he was shocked to realized he had not felt it's chakra or presence, even as it stared him down. "You can mask your presence?"

"For our non talkative siblings, color changing is for emotional displays, but for those of us that can talk... it allows us to use our chakra to mask our presence entirely. It is really quite useful." Koga laughed more, a deep warm sound that Mika found himself enjoying.

"So, there are others about, those I cannot see or sense?"

"Essentially, yes."

Soon, in minutes, they reached a massive tree with a giant chameleon with rippling patterns dancing across it's harsh skin. "Ahh, child, I sensed your arrival. Come, speak to me and let us see if we are to have an accord." Her voice was rich, warm and seductive oddly enough. She spoke like a prostitute, trying to draw others in with all the power of a madam. Controlled and strong, she was not accustomed to hearing the word no.

Mika obeyed, moving toward her. "My name is Mika, Lady Moroha."

"I see..." She said, only one eye pointing at her. "Tell me about yourself, dear boy. I am curious about you."

And so he did, unleashing most though not all of his goals. The ones he felt it could handle, and would not risk reporting to the Leaf. He told them of his father, his rise through the ranks and becoming Hinata's mentor. He relished in telling them of his time in Wave, gaining his title as Pale Healer. However, just as he was to finish, he felt a surge of chakra burn in his body, foreign and cold.

And then he told them the full story.

"I aim to aid Hinata Hyuuga in undoing the Hyuuga Curse seal and fleeing to Mist to help out in the Civil war, for power and experience. I hate injustice, true evil is something I cannot abide by." He gaped as the chakra faded. "Why the genjutsu?" He did not bother being mad, there was no point while he was unable to flee.

Moroha sighed. "We need to asses if you are not a threat to us, if you are someone we can trust." She hummed long and hard, the air vibrating with her voice and chakra. "I admire your good heart, and I hope our accord will bring us both great power. I will allow you to sign out contract." She whipped her tail at him, a massive green contract scroll appeared in a puff of smoke. He saw there was no signatures. "The instructions are there, if you wish to join us."

"What do you plan on helping me with?" He asked.

"We will show you how to infiltrate, how to mask your presence, genjutsu of course, some advanced water and earth jutsu, as well as assisting you in combat as needed. Does this sound fair? Oh and Sage mode, if you prove worthy and capable of it."

Mika considered her words, then nodded slowly. "I guess it is. All of that, plus Sage mode... I cannot argue with all of that. You won't say a word to the Leaf, will you?"

She shook her head, sighing again. "No, we hold no ties to the Leaf... now, sign and let our accord be born!"

And so he signed, binding himself to the powers of the Chameleons. "So, what now?"

"Now, we train... so, shall we begin? You do have a massive task ahead of you. Our powers will be something vital if you are to succeed."

Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was a joy to write.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
