14: The Forest of Chakra!
Suiren Uzumaki: The disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden, and Naruto would have his father's smarts while keeping his mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Ryurama Senju, Yuki Senju nee Miran, Raika Miran (Senju), & the White Tiger Summoning Contract (A/N: If there is already a White Tiger Summoning Contract…then please ignore the last part). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also, if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!
...My Line...
"Now, remember that this is the last episode and then bed," Hiruzen informed his Shinobis.
"Yes, sir!" they all answered as Tsunade took the remote and hit play.
…My Line…
Raika walked into a room where Kakashi was resting along with Tazuna's daughter to find that Kakashi was awake already.
"I think I over did it with my Sharingan," Kakashi mumbled.
...My Line...
"You think!" Obito yelled as he glared at his teammate. "Really?"
All Hatake did was shrug his shoulders at that while rest laughed or just smirked in amused.
...My Line...
"Waking up huh?" Tazuna's daughter asked. "Are you alright?"
The greenette walked over and sat down next to Kakashi's sick bed on his right side as Kakashi tried to set up as he answered.
"I've been better," Kakashi stated. "It'll be a week before I can move normally."
"See," Tazuna's daughter pointed out, "it's better if you don't move, so just lay back down."
"Right," Kakashi agreed as he laid back down.
"Tsunami," the green hair 12-year-old piped up making both of the people in the room look at her. "If I know Hatake…Like I think I do then he'll be moving in half the time."
...My Line...
"Disrespectful little brat," Kakashi mumbled.
"I think that her calling you, Hatake, is respectful," Obito deadpanned at him.
"What about the added sensei part, huh?" his male teammate asked him. "She has not once called me, sensei."
Obito rolled his eyes at that.
"Drama queen," the Uchiha pre-teen coughed.
The Hatake glared at him.
"Don't you two," Rin pipped in.
The two males glared at each other before looking back to the screen.
...My Line...
The green hair Genin turned her head to see Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Tazuna standing in the doorway of the room.
"Look Sensei's coming around," Naruto said to the others.
Sakura walked up and sat down on the other side of Kakashi's bed while Naruto, Sasuke, and Tazuna sat at the bottom.
"Listen Sensei?" Sakura asked. "Your Sharingan is amazing and everything, but if it puts that much strain on you then maybe it's not worth."
"Sorry," Kakashi apologized.
...My Line...
"You shouldn't have to apologize," Mikoto sighed.
Kakashi sighed wondering when it was that everything his older self-did, he was the one that got talked to about it.
...My Line...
"Uh, well you did take down one of the most powerful ninja assassins so we're safe for a while," Tazuna pointed out.
"Right, but you know that that kid in the mask," Sakura agreed/pointed out. "What about him?"
"They're from the elite tracking unit in Kirigakure and those masks are only worn by the most elite shinobi," Kakashi pointed out.
"What do they do?" Sakura asked.
"The ANBU Black Ops also known as the Inferno squad," the Hatake answered. "Destroyed all traces of a rogue ninja's corps. The Shinobi's body contain many secrets, even jutsu, chakra and special mediation used on his body. These are the secrets of his village if his enemy found them then his people would be in grave danger. For insets, if I were to die at the hand of an enemy then he would try to analyze my Sharingan. In the worst case my entire jutsu can be stolen and used against our home village. It is a sacred duty of the shinobi tracker to prevent this and to keep the secrets so if a ninja betrays his village, the Trackers hunt him down, eliminate him, and obliterate every trace of his exists. That's their specialty."
...My Line...
The younger members looked at the other members.
"Is that true, Minato-Sensei?" Rin asked. "Do the Trackers really do that?"
"Yes," the blonde answered. "It's true." He let out a sigh. "It's to keep the Team of Trackers' village safe. In fact, all ANBU Black Ops are expected to have some way to destroy their own bodies should they die on a mission."
"Oh."
They all looked upset about that.
...My Line...
The Hunter ninja from before along with Zabuza's body as he laid out a series of medical tools.
"First, I'll cut the bandages and drain some of the blood," the Hunter said as he picked up a pair of medical scissors.
He then reached out to cut the bandages only for a hand to grab his arms.
"That's enough," the voice of Zabuza said as the man's eyes opened and he pulled down his own mask. "I'll do it."
"So, you've already come back to life?" the hunter asked.
Zabuza sat up before he reached up to remove the senbone.
"Damn it," he told them as he started to remove. "Your brutal, Haku."
"You're the one who's brutal, Zabuza," the kid stated. "You keep pulling them out like that then you'll really will be finish.'
"How long are you planning on wearing that phony mask?" Zabuza asked. "Take it off."
"I have good memories of this mask," the kid said as he reached up to it. "And it was quite useful for tricking that ninja." He removed the mask to reveal a teenage boy with doe shape brown eyes and a very girly looking face. "If I hadn't of intervened then you'll be dead now." The Momochi spit out blood. "That much is certain."
"Putting me into a temporary death state is fine, but not through the pressure points in my neck," the rogue Ninja growled as he pulled up the bandages. "Cruel as usual. I think you enjoy it."
"It was the only sure way," the kid stated. "And I wouldn't want to mark up your flawless body. You'll complain about that even more. The neck is more vulnerable. There's no layer of muscles, so I can go straight into the pressure points." Zabuza then tried to stand up only to stop. "There's no point in trying to more. You'll be numb for a week. All though if you as stubborn as you'll probably be moving in half the time."
"You're so innocent and yet so clever at the same time," Zabuza told him. "Rare combination. That's why I keep you around."
"I'm still a kid," the boy pointed out. "What else would you expect?" He stood up. "The mist has cleared." The Momochi hummed. "Next time, well, you be alright?"
"Next time, I'll see right through his Sharingan," the rogue ninja growled.
...My Line...
The Uchihas snorted at that while the rest rolled their eyes at their Uchiha friends' reactions.
...My Line...
Episode 14: The Forest of Chakra!
The silver hair Jonin stared off into space for a bit.
'What is this?' he thought 'If Zabuza is finished then why do I feel this way? Something's wrong? It's like I miss something.'
"Hey!" Naruto yelled at the Jonin. "Are you ok? Sensei?" Both childhood friends shared a look. 'Is he catching on?'
"Mmm..." he mumbled as he snapped out of his thought. "Ah, yeah to finish what I was saying. Tracker ninja have to deal with the body on the spot so there's no room for error."
"Is that really important?" Sakura asked.
"Thank about it," the young Jonin started. "Do you remember what that tracker did to Zabuza's body?"
"We don't know what he did," the pinkette answered. "I mean I guess he took it somewhere."
"Exactly, but why?" the Hatake agreed/started. "He should have worked on Zabuza right there as quickly as possible. Think of the weapons he used for the take down. Do you remember what they were?"
"Throwing needles," Sasuke realized. "No way."
...My Line...
"Yes way," Obito said sarcastically.
Kakashi snorted while Rin giggled as Fugaku rolled his eyes though his Wife smirked a bit.
"Obito," Kushina cackled. "I didn't know you had it in you to be that sarcastic."
The Uchiha teen blushed as he rubbed the back of his head with a shy smile.
...My Line...
"Correct," Kakashi agreed. "It doesn't add up."
"Huh?"
"What are you'll hammering about?" Tazuna asked. "You demolish that assassin."
"Here's the truth," the 26-year-old stated. "Zabuza is still alive."
"Huh!" the Haruno and Tazuna yelled.
"About time you figure that out," Raika snorted. "I knew from day one that that mask kid was a fake."
The silver hair male sweatdropped at that especially since Naruto was nodding his head.
"But, we say his body!" Tazuna yelled.
"Kakashi-Sensei!" Sakura called to get his attention. "You checked him yourself. You said his heart stopped."
"His heart did stop," the Jonin agreed. "But, that was just a temporary state to simulate death. The weapons that those trackers used are called senbone. They pierced deeply, but rarely kills if they hit vitals organ not in the neck. Their modified needles used for medical treatments like acupuncture. Trackers are trained to know every detail of a human body. Causing the heart to stop temporarily leaving the body alive is an easy matter for them. First, they carry's Zabuza's body away even though it's much heavier than they are and second, they used senbone which has a paresis effect, but rarely kills. From these two factors we can conclude that the tracker wasn't trying to destroy Zabuza, but they were trying to save him."
"Come on?" Tazuna asked. "Your over thinking this aren't you?"
"In Centering suspension, a ninja prepares quickly," the silver hair Jonin answered. "Hesitation leads to disaster. Every Shinobi knows this saying." The 27-year-old looked at Naruto, who was smiling. 'He's actually pleased to hear Zabuza's alive. Now Naruto's got another shot at him.'
"Sensei you said prepare quickly," the pink hair Genin pointed out. "But, how can we do that when you can barely move?"
Kakashi stared laughing.
"Huh?"
"I can still train you," the Hatake pointed out.
...My Line...
"Huh?"
"A week of training?"
"Will that be enough?"
The teen and teens looked at their Jonin Sensei.
"It'll have to be," the blonde hair man answered. "It'll have to be."
...My Line...
"Hold on a little last-minute training can't make us strong enough to fight Zabuza," the Haruno stated. "You could barely defeat him even with your Sharingan. We have to be reasonable about this!"
"Are you trying to get us killed?" inner Sakura asked. "CHA!"
"Sakura," the silver hair 26-year-old said. "Why was I able to stop Zabuza? Because you all helped me. You've grown. Naruto!"
"Huh?"
"You've grown the most," the Hatake told him.
'He does seem stronger and more confident, but...' the pink hair 13-year-old thought.
"So, you noticed Kakashi-Sensei?" Naruto asked. "Now things are going to be batter now, ya know!"
"I don't know and nothing's going to be good," another voice stated.
They all turned towards the door to see a young boy wearing a hat with dark hair showing and dark eyes.
"Who are you!?" the Uzumaki yelled in question.
"Ah, Inari," Tazuna said as he held opened his arms. "Where have you been?"
The young boy took off his shoes and ran towards the old man.
"Welcome back Grandpa!" the boy greeted as he hugged the guy.
"Inari that was very rude," the woman told him with her hands on her hips. "These Ninjas helped your grandpa and brought him here safely."
"It's okay, it's okay," Tazuna told them. "I'm rude to them, too."
He looked at the five of them.
"Mom, don't you see that these people are going to die!" Inari yelled. "Gato and his men are going to come back, find them, and wipe them out."
...My Line...
"Talk about a barrel of sunshine," Obito deadpan.
Kakashi raised eyebrow at what the kid said.
"That kid does know that bandits, thugs, wannabe Samurai, and a wannabe gangster won't be enough to take out ninjas, right?" the Hatake asked. "Four Genin and a lone Jonin or not."
"Somethings happened to the kid," Kushina sighed. "Even though he knows that logically what he went through is keeping him from realizing that."
"Oh," the two males breathed.
"Poor kid," Rin sighed.
...My Line...
"What did you say, brat!?" the blonde yelled as he stood up. "Listen up! You know what a super Ninja is? That's me, only a lot better! I'm going to become Hokage. This Gato or Blato or whatever he's called is no match for a real Hero like me!"
"Ha," the kid laughed. "There's no such things as Heroes. Your just full of super ideas!"
"What you'd say!" the male Uzumaki yelled as he stumped over to him.
Both Raika and Sakura quickly grabbed a hold of him.
"Naruto, he's just a kid," the greenette told him gently. "Show him that your right, but don't use your fist."
"Calm down!" the pinkette yelled.
'Kushina level anger?' the Hatake thought with a sweatdrop. 'Check.' The Uzumaki calmed down with a blush on his face. 'Minato-Sensei looks and like crush? Check.'
"If you want to stay alive then you should go back to where you came from," Inari told them before starting to walk away.
"Inari, Wait?" Tazuna asked. "Where are you going?"
"To look out at the ocean," Inari answered. "I want to be alone."
"Sorry about that," the old man apologized once the boy left.
Naruto growled as he watched the door that the boy left through.
...My Line...
All ninjas gained a sad look in their eyes at that.
...My Line...
"Who does that brat think he is?" Naruto asked with a growl in his voice was he walked up the stairs. "I'm going to put him in his place right now." As he reached the hallway the sound of crying was heard making him to blink his eyes. "Huh?" The blonde then walked up to the door. 'He's crying?'
The Uzumaki looked into the room to see Inari sitting on the desk looking out over the ocean crying.
"No, Daddy, no."
Blue eyes took on a sad look at that.
...My Line...
"We'll need to keep an eye on Gato," Hiruzen stated.
"Leave that to me, Sensei," Jiraiya said. "I'll have my spies look into him and should they find any criminality evidence then…"
"He'll be taken out," the Sandaime finished. "There is no way that he'll be allowed to go unchecked."
There were nods in agreement at that.
...My Line...
All four of the Genin stood in a clearing together looking at Kakashi, who was to help them with training.
"Alright training starts now," the Hatake said.
"Right."
"First we'll being with a review of Chakra the Ninjas basic source of power. Understanding Chakra that is very, very important."
"We know that," Sasuke told him in a smart-ass kind of way.
"He's right," Naruto agree. "A long time ago we learned about chakra."
"You maybe using chakra, but there is more to it."
"Huh?"
"Go ahead Sakura."
"Alright Naruto," Sakura said as she stood in front of them. "I'll explain it simply so you can even understand."
Sakura pulled out a scroll that was labeled 'A Lesson from the Beautiful Kunoichi' and Raika caught Sasuke's eyes before she looked away with a smirk on her face.
'I understand about chakra thanks to Raika,' the blonde thought with a sweatdrop.
"Chakra is the elemental energy that a ninja uses in jutsu and is the source of all his power. Now energy comes in two forms; physical energy which is all the cells in the body working together and spiritual energy the primary source of power which is intensified through experience and training. These two energies can be drown out and brought together to perform jutsu. Notice the interplay between physical and spiritual power that's the key. Finally, hand signs focus and unleash the Chakra."
"Right on all points," the silver hair Jonin said. "Iruka-Sensei really did have excellent student."
"Ha."
"But, how does that help?!" Naruto asked. "The whole point is to learn the jutsu isn't?"
…My Line…
"Oh, Naruto," the redhead sighed.
"We'll make sure that he understands how important learning to control one's chakra is, Kushina," Minato told her softly. "Don't worry, okay?"
This got him a smile and nod from his wife.
…My Line…
"Naruto's right for once," Sasuke agreed this time. "We're already using chakra energy in our jutsu."
"No," the Hatake stated firmly making them all to look at him. "You have not mastered this power, and I should know I've seen you three perform jutsus before. You've barely scratched the surface."
"What do you mean?!" Naruto asked in annoyance
"Calm down and listen," Kakashi told him. "Just like Sakura said. You have to draw on both physical and spiritual energy and combine them within yourself. But how do you do that? Each jutsu requires different types of chakras in different proportions. You must select and combine them exactly the right way. Up to now you've just guessed at proportions hoping they'll come out right. Even if you predisposed a lot of Chakra unless you can balance it and control it then it's all worthless. The jutsu won't work at all or it'll just be a joke. You waste so much energy that way and then you run out of chakra, and you can't fight at all. You're just a target."
"So...uh...how do we change that then?" Naruto asked.
"Train so hard that controlling your chakra becomes second nature," the Jonin answered. "To achieve this goal, you must be ready to put your life on the line."
"What do we have to do?" Sakura asked.
"Climb a tree," the 27-year-old Jonin said in a bored tone.
…My Line…
The masked Uchiha, who was watching the training, cackled softly.
…My Line…
Like his on-screen older self, Obito cackled, of course, he wasn't the only one as Jiraiya had found amusement in it as well.
…My Line…
"CLIMB A TREE!" two of his four students yelled.
Raika covered her ears as she shot them a glare that even made Sasuke show fear.
"That's right, but there's just one rule," the Hatake went on after he was sure they won't yell again before holding up his left hand and pointing at it with his right pointing finger. "No hands."
"What?" the Haruno asked. "You're kidding."
"Am I?" the Jonin asked. "Let's, see?"
Kakashi brought his hands together in a hand sign and closed his eyes as he consecrated on his chakra that created a small cloud of dust at his feet. The silver hair Jonin opened his eyes and then turned on his heels and walked up a tree off to the right where he put one foot on it and then started to walk up the tree vertically shocking everyone...well, everyone, but Raika and Naruto, who both just looked bored half to death.
...My Line...
"Any medic worth their salt knows that," Tsunade stated.
Kushina and Minato smiled though those smiles vanished when they thought about the life that their son had to go through just before he was a Jinchuuriki. A life that the green hair Senju has tried to make better whenever she could and anyway she can.
'This future won't come to be,' Minato thought. 'Kushina and I will make sure that we leave behind wills should we end up dead again. That way we'll know that both Naruto and Raika will be taken care of. However, I do know that Kakashi, Rin, and Obito will do what they can for the two along with Fugaku and Mikoto.' He glanced over at his Jonin Sensei. 'And maybe Jiraiya-Sensei and Tsunade-Sama, too.'
The redhead took his hand into her own before he turned his attention about to the screen.
...My Line...
"He's climbing straight up," Sakura stated in shock. "And he's only using his feet."
When the Hatake reached the first branch he walked out on to it before turning to face his students.
"Well, you get the idea," he told them. "Focus the Chakra towards the soles of your feet and use it to connect to the tree. This is one way to apply the power of Chakra."
"Wait a minute!" the pinkette shouted. "That's a good trick, but how does it help us fight Zabuza?"
"It's the only way to fight him," Kakashi stated. "That's the entire goal of this training. First, you'll learn to draw a precise amount of Chakra to a precise point in your body. This is default for even advance Ninjas like me. This type of training requires a settle mix of physical and spiritual energy, and the bottom of the feet are the most default point to focus Chakra." 'Unless you have perfect Chakra Control of course like Raika.' "Are you getting the picture? If you can master this, you'll be able to master any jutsu, well, theoretically. This second point is to learn to maintain your Chakra levels. When a ninja is focus in battle it's even harder to control and maintain his Chakra levels. A deadly mistake. To avoid this controlling Chakra must become second nature. Effortless. Well, I can talk about this all day, but that won't advance your skill, will it? You are to apply the power of Chakra through training." The Jonin pulled out four kunai knives and threw them in front of his students' feet. "Use the kunai Knives to mark off the highest point you can climb without using your hands and use that as a goal to get past that mark the next and the next. At first you should run at the tree so your momentum can take you as high as possible until you get used to it. Ready?"
"Raika and I already know this!" Naruto shouted as he picked up his kunai. "Got something else for us, ya know! Remember what you said. I'm the one who've grown the most."
"You're defiantly the one, who talks the most," the Hatake told him. "I want to see if you two know this, so get to it!"
...My Line...
The Uchiha Chunin snickered at the jab that Kakashi made while the rest just looked amused.
"That is true," the Hatake agreed. "Naruto does talk the most." He looked at his Uchiha teammate. "Just...like...Obito…"
Obito stopped laughing and glared at him.
"What was that Bakashi!?"
"You heard me."
"Knock it off you two," Rin told them.
"Don't make me separate you two and treat you both like your little kids again," Kushina added.
This shut them up to the adult's amusement.
...My Line...
'Well, he did say that,' the blonde thought as all four of them started to focus their Chakra to their feet. 'Well, let's get to is.' A small dust cloud surrounded their feet. "I've got it!" All four of them started to run. "Charge!"
Sasuke had gotten about 20 feet up his tree before he was thrown off and marked his point before, he flipped onto the ground looking at it in frustrated.
'This is harder than I thought,' he thought. 'The balance has to be perfect. If the Chakra is to strong it smashes the tree and pushes you off, but if it's not strong enough you'll just tumbled back down.'
"That's about what I suspected of Sasuke and...huh?" the Hatake blinked a few times. "Where's Naruto?"
"Hey, this is fun!" Sakura's voice called out.
"To easy!" Raika's voice added next.
"Are there any other control exercises for chakra?!" Naruto yelled in questions.
…My Line…
The Uchiha pre-teen turned to face Kakashi and smirked at him making the silver hair Jonin to roll his eyes. However, these two things had Rin and Kushina smacking them upside the head with glares.
…My Line…
The Hatake and Uchiha looked up to see the two friends setting in their trees with Naruto hanging upside down from his own tree.
"Well, looks like the females of the team are the best at chakra control while Naruto already does know it," Kakashi told the Uchiha. "Well done, Sakura, Raika, Naruto."
"Told you!" the blonde called out before he jumped from his tree. "Anything else you want to know?"
"Whatever," Sasuke said as he looked away.
'I thought Sasuke would be impressed now his mad at me,' Sakura thought before she hung her head. 'Why is it all ways like that.'
"Well, not only does the females of the team understand Chakra, but they can control and maintain it as well," the Hatake went on. "We spoke about someone becoming Hokage didn't we? Seems that maybe Naruto does have a chance of being one and as for the great Uchiha Clan maybe they're not so great after all."
It also pissed Sakura off a bit.
"That's enough!" Sakura shouted at him. "You talk too much Sensei!" 'Sasuke's going to hate me now.'
'Alright I think his motivated,' the Jonin thought. 'Of course, Sasuke has far more Chakra within just like Naruto, who has more chakra, than the whole team combined. Anyways, if this training works then their mastery of chakra would become a valuable assist.' The Hatake started to walk away. "Raika, Naruto come with me!"
"Alright!" Naruto yelled. "Let's get going Rai-chan! Ya know!"
However, the Miran looked over to the trees as she ignored everything around her.
'So, Inari is spying, huh?' she thought.
...My Line...
"That's true," Mikoto nodded her head.
"Yup."
The pre-teens looked in awe of the training.
...My Line...
However, right at that moment, Raika realized what the blonde had called her.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT, ANIKI!"
Sasuke snorted while Sakura giggled as the Miran ran after the Hatake and the Uzumaki.
...My Line...
"Definitely Hashirama and Tobirama 2.0," Hiruzen snorted.
Tsunade, who slightly remembers how her grandfather and uncle acted, nodded her head in agreeing while looking amused.
...My Line...
Unknown to everyone, but Raika was the fact that Inari stood watching them.
"Ha," the boy laughed as he walked way. "What a total waste of time. They don't know what their up against."
Inari stopped walking as a picture of his Father flashed through his mind before he growled.
...My Line...
Obito looked at down at that as he knew what the kid was going through and he wasn't the only one, who sympathize with the boy, as Kakashi, Tsunade, and Kushina also knew what Inari was going through.
...My Line...
The scene then went to Zabuza's hideout as it also showed Haku, who was sitting next to the bed where Zabuza laid, just as the door opened up.
"Some Jonin," Gato stated. "The unbeatable Ninja just got beat. Limping all the way back home just like some pathetic has been." The short man laughed. "Demon of the Hidden Mist? More like Coward of the Hidden Mist."
Haku stood up just then making the two bodyguards of Gato's to start drawing their swords.
'Drawing swords?'
"Hang on a minute?" Gato asked them as he walked past and over to both Haku and Zabuza. "Alright, let's hear what you have to say about this fiasco. And don't you play possum." He reached out for the blanket. "I know you can talk."
Just then a hand grabbed his arm making to look over.
"Keep your filthy hands off of him," Haku growled before he started to squeeze the man's arm.
"AH!" he cried. "My Arm! You're going to break it!"
The two bodyguards go to attack only for Haku to suddenly appear next to them with their own swords at their throats.
'That's impossible.'
'No one can move that fast.'
"Don't push me," Haku told them. "I'm in a really foul mood."
The young teen threw the swords away before returning to Zabuza's side.
"One choice that's it!" Gato yelled. "If you fail this time, I'll cut you off and then there'll be no one left to cover for you!" He then turned around. "Let's go."
Haku then retook his seat as the short man and his bodyguards left.
"Haku that wasn't necessary," Zabuza told him as he showed the kunai.
"Perhaps," the teen agreed. "But, it's too early to take out Gato. He's still our best cover. Think about it the murders will draw their attention then they'll be after us again. We need restraint."
"Right," he agreed as he closed his eyes.
...My Line...
"There's something about Gato that makes my skin crawl," Jiraiya stated as he narrowed his eyes.
"I have to agree with Master Jiraiya," Fugaku seconded.
Mikoto bite her lower lip in worry as she watched.
...My Line...
Kakashi stopped next to the docks in front of the home of Tazuna and his family before turning to Naruto and Raika, who were looking at him.
"Okay, you two have shown to have a good understanding of Tree Climbing, so I am going to assume that you know Water Walking as well," he spoked up.
"We do," the Uzumaki confirmed.
"Good," the Hatake said with a nod. "Now, what I want is for you, Naruto, to use your clones and fight upon the surface of the water until it is almost instinct." The blonde nodded his head. "As for you, Raika…" He looked at the Miran. "What I want is for you to use the Leaf Concentration while going through you katas on the water's surface. Is that understood?"
…My Line…
"That's…not a bad idea," the blonde female said as she blinked her eyes. "I am impressed, Kakashi."
"Thank you."
Even Obito had to admit…if only to himself…that he was also impressed with the training idea that his teammate came up with.
…My Line…
"Understood," she answered with a nod as it did sound like a good way to practice chakra control.
"This way should help you with gaining more control so that you can use more medical ninjutsu," the Jonin explained to her.
The hidden granddaughter of the Nidaime nodded her head.
"Right."
"Now, I am going to go keep an eye on Sakura and Sasuke, so I'm trusting you two to practice without me to keep an eye on you both," Kakashi said as he raised an eyebrow. "Right?"
"You can trust us," Naruto told him with a nod.
"Naruto is right, Hatake," the Miran agreed as she moved over to a tree to get a leaf.
The silver hair male watched as the two got to work before he lumped back to the other two.
"Alright!" the blonde cheered. "Time to get to work!" He then crossed two fingers on both hands together. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
…My Line…
The three pre-teens looked amazed at the number of clones that Naruto made as they watched.
...My Line...
It was turning to dusk on the first day of training and Sakura was laying against a tree while Sasuke was knelt down looking at his tree in thought.
'I'm totally worn out,' Sakura thought as she looked over at her crush. 'How can he keep going like that?' The Haruno blinked in surprise when the Uchiha walked up to her. 'Huh?'
"Um...um...Sakura," he mumbled as he knelt down. "Can you give me some advice on this?"
'He's catching on,' Kakashi thought from where he stood watching. 'From now on, he'll get stronger and stronger. How strong? No one knows, but…' He looks back the way that the two childhood friends were training. 'Maybe he can find a rival in Naruto, who process more Chakra than Sasuke.'
...My Line...
"A Jinchuuriki on top of being an Uzumaki?" Kushina asked once the screen went black. "That would be a no duh."
Tsunade cackled at that a bit before she got thoughtful.
"I'm going to be honest," the Senju spoke making the two future parents to look at her. "The fact that Raika has as amazing Chakra Control even with the amount she has is shocking." She crossed her arms. "I mean, with Sakura, I can understand as she has so little Chakra reserves, but Raika shouldn't have prefect Chakra Control being a quarter Uzumaki and all."
"Tsunade-hime is right, you two," Jiraiya agreed. "Even Hime had trouble with her Chakra Control at first."
The Senju couple shared a look with each other at that.
"That's true," the Uzumaki agreed. "Uzumaki chakra on top of Senju chakra."
"We'll figure it out when she's born," Minato said.
This got nods from the group before the Sandaime stood up.
"Alright let's get some drinks," he said. "8 more episodes before dinner and then we'll watching another 8 more episodes before bed."
They all nodded their heads at that in agreement.
