The morning sun bathed the village of Konoha in a soft, warm light as Team 7 gathered at their usual training ground. It was a day like any other—or at least that's what the three genin thought. They had survived Rock Lee's brutal taijutsu training and successfully pranked Naruto, but little did they know, today would be the start of Naruto's promised revenge.

Naruto stood with his arms crossed, a relaxed smile on his face as he watched his students arrive. They were back to their usual routine, each of them eager to continue their training and push their limits. What they didn't know was that Naruto had a plan—one that would begin with Ashi.

Ashi, who had been the most enthusiastic about the prank, was first on his list.

"Alright, Team 7!" Naruto called out as Kazaya, Hikari, and Ashi stood before him, each one looking ready for whatever he had in store. "Today's training is going to focus on your individual strengths. I want each of you to improve in the areas where you're already strong, but we'll be refining your techniques. Sound good?"

The three genin nodded, each excited in their own way to see how they could improve.

"First up, Hikari," Naruto said, turning to her. "You're going to work on seals and traps today. We've been focusing a lot on your ninjutsu, but I want to see how you can use your traps and sealing techniques in combat situations. The goal is to make it so precise that your enemy doesn't even know what hit them."

Hikari's eyes gleamed with determination. "Understood, sensei."

Naruto then turned to Kazaya. "For you, Kazaya, we're going to focus on your kenjutsu. You've got a natural talent with the blade, but there's still room for improvement when it comes to precision and technique. I've got a special guest coming to help with that."

Kazaya raised an eyebrow, curious. "A special guest?"

Naruto grinned, but didn't elaborate. "You'll see."

Finally, Naruto's eyes landed on Ashi, and his grin widened ever so slightly. "Ashi, we're going to focus on your taijutsu, specifically enhancing your Fang Over Fang technique. I also want to see how you can incorporate your water-style jutsu into close combat. Today's going to be intense."

Ashi, always eager for a challenge, pumped her fist in the air. "I'm ready! Yuna and I have been working on some new combos."

Naruto gave her a nod. "Good. You'll need them." His tone was calm, but there was a mischievous gleam in his eyes that Ashi didn't quite catch.

Naruto led Hikari to a section of the training ground filled with trees, each one perfect for laying traps and hidden seals. She immediately began setting up different types of traps—explosive tags hidden under leaves, tripwires connected to kunai, and more intricate seals designed to disable an opponent's chakra flow.

Naruto watched her work, occasionally offering advice or adjustments. "You're fast, Hikari, but make sure the traps are hidden well. It's not just about setting them up quickly—it's about making sure they're undetectable."

Hikari nodded, carefully placing a seal behind a tree while covering it with dirt and foliage. "Got it, sensei."

Naruto stepped back, surveying her handiwork. "Now, let's see how you defend against an enemy trying to outsmart your traps."

He created two shadow clones, each one darting into the forest at high speed. They zigzagged through the trees, deliberately trying to avoid the most obvious places where traps would be set.

Hikari, however, was ready.

The first clone stepped on a tripwire, which immediately set off a chain reaction of kunai launching from hidden spots in the trees. The clone tried to dodge, but one kunai caught it in the leg, dispelling it in a puff of smoke.

The second clone, more cautious, circled around the traps, moving in closer to Hikari. But as soon as it neared her, the seal she had placed behind the tree activated, binding the clone's chakra and causing it to collapse.

Naruto, impressed, nodded in approval. "Nicely done. The clone didn't even see the seal."

Hikari, though focused, allowed herself a small smile. "Thanks, sensei. I've been trying to improve my setups so they're harder to detect."

"Keep refining your technique," Naruto said. "Your traps and seals could be the difference in a fight. It's all about precision."

Hikari nodded and returned to setting up another series of traps, fully immersed in her training.

While Hikari worked on her seals and traps, Kazaya moved to the other side of the training ground where Naruto had mentioned something about a guest. Sure enough, a few minutes later, a familiar figure approached. It was Tenten, the weapons expert and master of kenjutsu.

"Kazaya, meet Tenten," Naruto said with a grin. "She's going to give you some pointers on how to improve your ninjato skills."

Kazaya bowed respectfully. "It's an honor, Tenten-sensei."

Tenten smiled, pulling a scroll from her pouch. "Naruto tells me you've got some raw talent with the sword, but talent only gets you so far. Today, I'm going to show you how to refine that talent into something more dangerous."

Kazaya's eyes gleamed with interest. "I'm ready to learn."

Tenten unsealed the scroll, and a variety of weapons appeared before her—everything from kunai to different types of swords. She picked up a katana and handed it to Kazaya. "First, show me your stance."

Kazaya took the blade, holding it in front of him in a defensive stance. Tenten watched carefully, circling him.

"Not bad," she said, "but your grip is a little too tight. Loosen up your hands a bit. You want to be able to react quickly, not force the blade. It should move with you."

Kazaya adjusted his grip as Tenten demonstrated a few techniques, showing him how to parry and strike with precision. She was fast—faster than Kazaya expected—and he had to focus hard just to keep up with her movements.

"You've got speed," Tenten noted as she blocked one of his attacks effortlessly. "But you need to work on your follow-through. Don't just stop at the first strike. Always assume your opponent will block and counter."

Kazaya nodded, tightening his focus as they continued to spar. With each movement, he improved, learning how to blend his own natural agility with the precision Tenten was teaching him.

Naruto watched from a distance, impressed with how quickly Kazaya was picking up the advanced techniques. "You're doing great, Kazaya," he called out. "Keep pushing yourself."

Tenten grinned as she deflected one of Kazaya's strikes, the sound of clashing metal filling the air. "Not bad. You're improving. But you still have a long way to go."

Kazaya, though exhausted, nodded with determination. "I'll keep working at it."

While Kazaya and Hikari were focused on their training, Naruto led Ashi to a more open section of the training ground. Yuna padded alongside her, just as eager for the training session as Ashi was.

"Ashi, today we're going to work on refining your Fang Over Fang technique," Naruto said, his grin slightly wider than usual.

Ashi, as usual, was full of energy. "You bet! Yuna and I have been practicing our spins. We're faster than ever!"

Naruto nodded. "Good. I want to see how well you can combine that speed with your water-style jutsu. If you can manage to control both at the same time, you'll be even more effective in battle."

Ashi's eyes gleamed with excitement. "I'm ready!"

Naruto stood back, watching as Ashi and Yuna prepared to launch their attack. "Alright, go ahead and show me what you've got."

Without wasting a second, Ashi and Yuna leapt into action. "Fang Over Fang!" Ashi shouted, spinning rapidly as Yuna mirrored her movements. Together, they tore through the air, their combined power ripping through the trees around them.

But as they completed the technique, something unexpected happened.

A loud, high-pitched whistle echoed through the training ground, followed by a pop. Suddenly, a rain of glitter exploded from above, covering Ashi and Yuna from head to toe.

Ashi skidded to a stop, blinking in shock as she stood in the middle of a glitter storm. Yuna let out a confused bark, shaking her fur to get rid of the shiny specks.

Naruto, who had been watching with barely contained laughter, finally lost it. He burst into laughter, clutching his sides as Ashi stared at him, covered in glitter.

"Sensei!" Ashi yelled, glaring at him through the sparkling mess. "What… what is this?!"

Naruto, still laughing, wiped a tear from his eye. "Oh, nothing. Just the start of my payback."

Ashi's eyes widened in realization. "Wait… this is your revenge?"

Naruto nodded, still grinning. "Yup. You pranked me, so it's only fair I get you back. And glitter? Well, that stuff's impossible to get rid of."

Ashi, standing there with glitter stuck in her hair, clothes, and even Yuna's fur, groaned in frustration. "Are you serious, sensei? Glitter?!"

Yuna barked in agreement, pawing at her fur to shake off the sparkles, but it was a losing battle. Every shake just sent more glitter flying into the air, making it worse.

Naruto laughed even harder. "Oh, I'm dead serious. This is just the beginning. I told you I'd get you back when you least expected it, didn't I? You've got to admit, though, it's pretty funny!"

Ashi glared at him, but she couldn't deny the irony. She had pranked Naruto with paint and confetti, and now he was returning the favor with something just as annoying and hard to clean up. She sighed, brushing glitter off her clothes. "Alright, sensei, you got me. But this isn't over! Yuna and I will think of something even better to get you back."

Naruto grinned. "Looking forward to it, Ashi! But remember, I've still got plans for Hikari and Kazaya, too. So keep an eye out—you're all fair game."

Ashi crossed her arms, the glitter still falling from her hair like tiny sparks in the sunlight. "We'll see about that."

Naruto gave her a playful wink before focusing back on the training. "Now, come on, let's get back to it. You still need to work on combining your Fang Over Fang with your water-style jutsu. Glitter or no glitter, we've got work to do."

Despite the glittery setback, Ashi shook it off—literally—and returned her focus to the training. Naruto had her and Yuna practice their Fang Over Fang while simultaneously summoning water-style techniques to enhance their attacks. It wasn't easy—combining spinning at high speeds while controlling the flow of water required a lot of precision—but Ashi's determination was as strong as ever.

Naruto observed her carefully, occasionally offering pointers on how to better synchronize the two techniques. "The trick is in controlling the spin without losing focus on the water jutsu. You've got to think of them as two parts of the same attack, not separate."

Ashi, wiping sweat from her brow after another attempt, nodded. "Got it. I just need to keep practicing."

Naruto smiled. "Exactly. You've got the power, Ashi. Now it's about control."

Yuna barked in agreement, her tail wagging as she stood ready for the next round.

After a few more attempts, Ashi and Yuna finally managed to pull off a perfect combination. As they launched into Fang Over Fang, water spiraled around them like a tornado, enhancing their speed and making their attack even more destructive. The result was a powerful, fluid movement that tore through the trees in front of them, leaving behind a path of soaked wood and glittering debris.

Naruto clapped, impressed. "There you go! That's what I'm talking about. Well done, Ashi."

Ashi, panting from the effort, grinned through her exhaustion. "Thanks, sensei. Yuna and I have been working really hard on it."

"I can tell," Naruto said with a smile. "Just keep refining it. The more you practice, the better control you'll have."

Tenten continued to spar with Kazaya, pushing him to improve his precision and technique with his ninjato. Kazaya's strikes were growing sharper and faster, his movements more fluid as he followed Tenten's advice.

"You've improved a lot in just one session," Tenten said, breathing a bit heavier as they paused for a moment. "But remember, kenjutsu isn't just about attacking. It's about anticipating your opponent's moves and controlling the pace of the fight."

Kazaya nodded, wiping sweat from his forehead. "I'll keep working on it."

Tenten smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder. "You've got a lot of potential, Kazaya. Just keep practicing, and you'll be an expert in no time."

Naruto, who had been watching from a distance, stepped forward. "Thanks for the help, Tenten. Kazaya's already looking a lot sharper."

Tenten gave a playful wink. "No problem. Anything to help the next generation. Besides, I can't let you take all the credit for their training."

Naruto laughed. "Fair enough."

With that, Tenten waved goodbye and headed back to her own training. Kazaya sheathed his ninjato and turned to Naruto. "Thanks for bringing Tenten-sensei today. I feel like I've learned a lot."

Naruto nodded. "Good. You've got great instincts, Kazaya. Now it's about honing them."

As the sun began to set over the training ground, Naruto gathered Team 7 together. They were exhausted from the day's work, but each of them had improved in their respective areas. Hikari had refined her seals and traps, Kazaya's kenjutsu was sharper than ever, and Ashi had nearly perfected her new Fang Over Fang combo.

Naruto, arms crossed and grinning, looked at his team with pride. "You guys have done great today. I'm seeing a lot of improvement, but don't get too comfortable. We're going to keep pushing harder."

Ashi, still picking glitter out of her hair, shot him a glare. "You mean harder training or more glitter bombs?"

Naruto smirked. "Who knows? You'll just have to stay on your toes. I've still got plans for Hikari and Kazaya. And Ashi… well, let's just say I'm not done with you yet."

Hikari, standing beside Ashi, crossed her arms nervously. "Please don't involve me in more glitter…"

Kazaya simply sighed, already resigned to his fate. "Whatever it is, just get it over with."

Naruto's grin widened as he walked past them, his tone playful but full of promise. "Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to rush it. Just when you least expect it… that's when it'll happen."

The three genin exchanged wary glances, the tension hanging in the air like a storm cloud. Naruto had already gotten Ashi, and now they knew they were next. The anticipation was going to drive them crazy.

As they gathered their things and prepared to leave, Naruto gave them a final wave. "See you tomorrow for more training! And remember—stay sharp."

Ashi groaned, but there was a small smile on her face. "He's never going to let us live this down, is he?"

Hikari sighed, her analytical mind already working overtime. "I'm going to be on edge for days…"

Kazaya, always calm, shook his head. "Let's just hope whatever he's planning isn't worse than what he did to Ashi."

As the team walked back toward the village, their bond had grown even stronger through their training and shared experiences. But as they headed home, one thing was certain—they were all nervously awaiting Naruto's next move.

Naruto, watching them go with a grin on his face, couldn't help but chuckle. The best part of pulling a prank wasn't always the act itself—it was the anticipation that kept his students guessing. And as he walked back toward his own home, he already began planning his next move.

It was going to be fun.

And the revenge has started lol. Thanks for reading!
