What If Kakashi Begs Naruto To Return Team 7 || Part-1 ||

hey guys how are you all welcome back to my Channel today we will see what if Kakashi bega Naruto to return team 7 if you enjoy then please like share and do comments haki Kakashi was leisurely walking along the peaceful streets of konohagakure reading his greatly loved novel ichaa and basking in the warm rays of the sunny afternoon sun it didn't worry him in the slightest that he was late to the meeting in the tower of fire seat of the hok the meeting that was obligatory for every Jun and chosen to be a Sensei of the new batch of jennin well not true jenin as they had to pass the test their respective Jun and Sensei made them do before they would have the right to call themselves jenon of konaha however Kakashi didn't expect his new team to pass as a matter of fact he had failed every Jen and team for whom he had been chosen as a junan Sensei he hadn't passed a single team for five almost six years it wasn't that he didn't want to be a Jun and Sensei no not at all he considered the status of the guide of the new generations a great honor it was simply that his gen and hopefuls couldn't meet his high expectations or rather passes famous and hideously difficult Bell test the Bell test was a test composed by yandi Hokage Kakashi's late Sensei also better known as konah his yellow flash the test itself focused mainly on teamwork and largely ignored individual skill even though it didn't completely disregard it although Kakashi had passed it as a youngster he had forgotten the values it taught when it was most important if he hadn't forgotten teamwork on that damned Mission all those years ago then obido would have been still alive and Kakashi's greatest regret would have never happened what if what if what if feudal and terrible question thought Kakashi bitterly but only a sigh escaped him it was because of his sorrowful experience that Kakashi absolutely refused to teach any brat that couldn't understand the idea of teamwork to his mind teamwork was vital to Shinobi's survival and for that claim he had proof 15 minutes later as Kakashi entered the largest meeting chamber in the grand Tower he was met with many exasperated and even a few angry stares it was the opinion of many of the junan that the sand Dame Hokage was too mild in his dealings with Kakashi if they had their way he probably would have been severely punished and maybe even demoted to chunin for his irresponsible ways unfortunately for them sand Dame Hokage wasn't disgusted by Kakashi's constant lack of punctuality and he merely occasionally gently chided Kakashi as he had long ago came to the conclusion that Kakashi wouldn't stop his habit concerning leness haki Kakashi was an elite Shinobi a type of ninja that konaha was beginning to lack in recent time and in his defense he did bother to show up on time for high level missions and War sessions not to mention that Hokage knew the reason behind Kakashi's tardiness and thus was only sometimes annoyed by it however most of the time he was only amused by other people's outraged reaction to Kakashi's Behavior AK Kakashi so you finally join us him you're only an hour late well that's a pleasant surprise I didn't expect you for at least two more hours what terrible thing might have happened to make the ever confusing road of life so clear this day mused the old hok as he serenely smoked his long artfully crafted pipe his eyes containing a little the Mischief that he was known for in his youth not that many were aware of that fact as there were not many old enough who could remember the dignified and legendary Warrior that was Hokage in his early days Kakashi suspecting a bait in the Elder Shinobi's question ignored the hokage's question and merely bowed his head and murmured his apology sandam smiled gnly and tried again to prompt the tall whired junan before him ho Kakashi Kun you're quiet today no witty comment to amuse this old man in answer Kakashi wiped out his erotic book and started reading several exclamations of disbelief and anger were silenced by the loud and Hearty Chuckles from the sand Dame's throat no asked the Laughing hok that's all right if not then let's continue with our little discussion I believe we were conferring about the suitable Sensei for Team Four Hokage was sitting on a simple Throne carved from hard and durable oak wood its only decorations intricate glit cffs symbols and kanji colored in bright Hue of fiery red a small square table was set before him it was of a far more beautiful and remarkable object work of a master Carpenter on its lacquered surface stood an ancient artifact a viewing ball which looked as if it had existed for centuries as sand Dame Hokage knew it likely had it was one of his most prized possessions and it was with this object that he knew almost everything that happened in konohagakure much to the dismay of all around him next to the ancient artifact lied several Scrolls made of fine paper hok was holding one opened in his hands when Kakashi had first entered the chamber through thick reinforced doors on the either side of hokage's Throne seat stood the secretive and fearsome Anu two on each side of Hokage they were wrapped in Long Black cloaks with bone white animal masks hiding their faces they were silent almost resembling ethereal specters of the Dead in their rigid postures and constant quiet chosen at relatively early age and put through long and rigorous special training they held a definitive Edge over the most ordinary Shinobi the elite assassins and master combatants the Anu served as Kona his most trusted Guardians and Fighters and were almost exclusively sent on only the deadliest of a signments before the Hokage and the for Anu stood a few dozen of the newest junan Sensei only those selected as the Sensei of the potential new generation of jenin were present they consisted of men of mostly younger age with only a few women added to the mix the Jun all of them from first to last dangerous ninja were those Shinobi who had passed countless tests skirmishes missions and dangers and had climbed through the Shinobi ranks of their Homeland until they have reached after the title of cage the highest ordinary position of ninja military organizations they were often considered to have become masters of ninja art this while not true showed just how much they were respected and highly regarded the great majority of the junan present wore military vests of forest green characteristic for h no Kuni and had clothes in dark tones colors ranging from brown and dark green to black and gray They Carried various weapons and Shinobi tools with them inside the spacious room An Occurrence that would be very strange and curious to any number of civilians and example of folly to Shinobi of any other Nation however such was the unique practice in the Shinobi nation of konaha it was this calculated show of trust as well as others of its kind along with the konah is one of a kind philosophy that bred Fierce loyalty warm comradeship and non-bending steadfastness that the Shinobi of konaha were famous for after glancing shortly around the room Kakashi concentrated his lone visible eye on his ichaa book he disliked long meetings especially those that concerned him as a junan Sensei although he would never admit it to anyone else deep in inside of himself he always felt a sharp pay OD disappointment and sorrow whenever he failed his newest team after deeming them unworthy so each New Year brought only new pains to Kakashi's heart pains that Kakashi had had enough he had tried to convince hok not to nominate him for a Sensei but Time After Time sand Dame stubbornly refused A Shinobi of your skill and power must pass over his knowledge to do otherwise would be a waste that konaha could not handle not now I am certain Kakashi [ __ ] that some children would eventually meet your expectations this you can trust me somehow I doubt that Hokage Sama neither he nor the Hokage had changed their opinion since the last time he had tried to persuade sand Dame not to give him a new team he then returned to his his ears listening to the conversation in the chamber in case something happened he had just finished the next to LST chapter when the last sentence of the Aged Hokage forc his one eye wide open well since that's settled let us go on to the next team team seven Haruno Sakura iiha sasak and Uzumaki Naruto Kakashi's team sand Dame felt a certain morbid humor at Kakashi's expense as the gangly oneeyed junan stared with a petrified expression on his face what Kakashi managed to somehow utter through his lips your new team Kakashi team seven answered the somber leader of komah haak here Kakashi felt like a breeze could knock him over his thoughts swirled in his head without order or form quickly he composed himself and upro as Le thought he's giving me them sensei's Legacy and the last of the U [ __ ] I forgot that they also graduated this year how on Earth did I get them but Kakashi had his doubts while being one of the most skilled of konah has Shinobi alive Kakashi was also trusted by sand Dame and the Elder Hokage valued his opinion it was a form of Al trust that he was given the position of Sensei of both the konah Jin shariki and the uch Survivor he was also the only one able to properly teach the ucha or at least as far as Sharingan was concerned each of them by themselves were huge problems put together they were one so great a problem that it was even tiring to think of it then he remembered the sand Dame's stubbornness when he practically begged him not to nominate him as a Sensei any longer so that's what he had had planned all along he AG he should have warned me Kakashi's thoughts were stopped by hokage's solemn words as he spoke we will speak further about this after the meeting Kakashi the ancient Bittersweet smile on Sand Dame's face and the understanding in his eyes relaxed Kakashi immensely who found himself nodding he started glancing around the room and concentrating on anything else except his new tenure as the Sensei of Team 7 sand Dame noticed this and just Gravely shook his head and then continued in a more normal voice now on with the teams team eight will be abam Shino hyuga hanata and inuzuka kba several hours later Kakashi was silently standing in the hokage's somewhat small and cozy office where they have gone after the meeting had ended for once he wasn't reading his perverted novel too much was on his mind to even pretend that he was reading the book instead he was staring at the cream painted walls trying to come to the terms with his new responsibility sand Dame watched him for several moments then quietly said Kakashi you know or at least suspect why are you here we need to discuss your new position in Greater detail now before you say anything I want you to know that you were the only one I could trust with something like this why ask Kakashi his tone and face unnaturally blank you see Kakashi the true reason why is three-fold and in no way simple the first reason it is because of narut you know the lengths I have gone to protect him in him in any way I can sadly I have accomplished little so very little you might have heard or even know how is he treated you also know how should he be treated you may have heard that he is a quite spirited boy one full of energy energy which he uses for his pranks I believe you may have saw the last one also by now I think that everyone has heard about his dream of replacing me said hok with a little grin on his face Kakashi had to smile the monument joke had been quite hilarious and the boy's dream while being an ambitious one was also an admirable one seeing Kakashi's nod and smile sandan continued he appears to be a person that never Broods or is depressed despite his many failures disappointments and the harsh life he had led he appears to always smile and laugh and that the villagers glares don't affect him the problem is Kakashi it only appears to be so what he wears is a mask a mask not perfect but believable enough and nobody seems to notice this no one except me and perhaps Amino aruka one of the chunin Sensei who work at the Academy he is quite fond of Naruto so much that their relationship is becoming like that of an elder and younger brother I am afraid nobody accept me and aruka sees Naruto's mask I am a gra that nobody accept us sees it because nobody else cares the only ones left who are at least a little friendly to him are the holders of a nearby Ramen stand called ichiraku ran by father and daughter Naruto is hurting deep inside and no one cares I am afraid what will become of him if this continues much longer his pain may become hatred and rage and he might start becoming a beast that villagers falsely accuse him to be they don't understand that they themselves are creating the demon I couldn't live with myself if his blue clear eyes become the Demonic red of the caubi he might be stronger than that or his hope and dream might preserve him but even the kindest and best of humans have their limits he needs help Kakashi very much so Kakashi was deeply troubled by this he sometimes saw the kid on the streets but every time he saw him he was satisfied to see him strong and laughing now it seems that he also was fooled sandan continued second Uchiha sake out of all young men in whole konaha He alongside Naruto worries me the most the Fate had been cruel to him very much so to have his entire Clan killed including his father and mother by the very person he admired most in the world and then mind tortured by that same person it was beyond devastating for him it shattered both his mind and heart his mind mostly recovered heart not so the only thing that matters to him now is Vengeance Vengeance and the power to achieve that Vengeance he is cold antisocial brooding and often arrogant and insulting to his peers I don't want another Oro chimaru being created before my very eyes and me not doing anything to stop it sandan concluded his face set in stone and voice hard as steel Kakashi stood quiet for some time before asking what about the girl Haruno Sakura sand Dame smiled bingly Sakura is a bright young child with a normal past and more or less happy childhood while her knowledge is good her practical skills are rather bad she also has some Amorous feelings for sake which he doesn't return on further note narut has a crush on her which she doesn't return because of her feelings for SAS it would be quite an amusing love triangle actually if one wouldn't know the pasts of Naruto and sake said sand Dame chuckling and shooking his head and the third part of the real reason for me to train them the third reason is that you are the only one both skilled enough and connected with them enough to be their Sensei the task that I entrust to you is of great importance to konaha I ask you to make tremendous Shinobi of them since the time will come when Jin Chiki and last loyal ucha will be ours aces in the sleeve in case of war and any other crisis and they would be pressured to become konah his finest weapons I told you their problems I want you to help them with those problems I want you to teach them how to be human again and how to mature how to build or rebuild their lives in essence to guide all three of them and finally I ask you to teach them how to care after one another let them be the siblings that not one of them has after all of this had been said Do You Now understand understand fully your assignment do you agree to be the Sensei of Team s something pulled at Kakashi's attention and he turned his sight upon the wall behind the Hokage there stood portraits of the past leaders of konaha he felt their eyes on his face none more keenly than the eyes of his own Sensei and hero of konaha yandi Hokage suddenly without any doubt or reconsideration Kakashi knew his answer Kakashi eye was deathly serious and wide open as he locked it with hokage's w wi and ancient ones yes said Kakashi all of his determination poured into that one single word a large smile spread on hokage's face as he answered good they will be expecting you tomorrow at 9:00 as the duster hit him on his head after being courteous enough to only be late 2 hours instead of three Kakashi couldn't help but become really annoyed as he watched the obnoxious blonde falling to the floor laughing watching as the blonde goofball called Naruto continued to shake with laughter and the pink girl as she quite unconvincingly tried to apologize for her teammates atrocious Behavior and the silent boy watching him with dumbfounded disappointment Kakashi also couldn't help but develop a large tick on his right Temple he forced his voice to say as neutral is possible as he said well my first impression of you is that I hate you in a small clearing in the center of the forest stood a tall white-haired man deep in thought before him Sat three younger figures each of the eating various food the adult figure turned its stare towards the glaring sun which stood high in the sky at its peak and then turned his single uncovered eye to gaze at his new students Kakashi inwardly sighed with no small amount relief they had passed the test barely but they had regardless passed it however he couldn't help but be somewhat disappointed with his new students each of them had extremely obvious problems and gaps in both Shinobi and behavior skills take for instance one Uzumaki Naruto a famous prankster known for his good abilities in stealth and trap designing so much so that he occasionally escaped and even tricked chunin who would pursue him after some of the nastier or humiliating pranks and what did Naruto do did he try to outwit him Ambush him or think of a way to defeat a clearly Superior foe no he throws caution to the wind and challenges a Jun into one-on-one match it was a sign of stupidity that staggered Kakashi with its size not only that but Naruto seemed to lose almost all of his creativity when fighting he would simply create as many Shadow clones as possible and lead a straight assault towards his opponent all the while hoping that the numbers and his own determination would Prevail well at least he knows how to fight thought Kakashi grumpily that much couldn't be said for Sakura she had bookish knowledge and perfect chakra control as her student profile had stated however she lacked any other skills Shinobi needed other skills that the academy was supposed to teach her other skills that her profile as well as the teachers of the Ninja Academy who were responsible for putting it together had affirmed during the Bel test she had actually fainted because of a simple low-level illusion she had been by far the greatest disappointment however it was still Naruto who had been bound to the middle stump it had been a gamble on Kakashi's part one which actually had worked out for the best and as for sake Kakashi heaved a large sigh sasak cared nothing for anyone in anything he was talented all right but not nearly so as to justify his arrogance that exceeded that of Naruto after all narut was hardly truly arrogant sasak on the other hand had an actual Aura hanging around him one proclaiming his superiority he reminded Kakashi of his younger far more foolish and Despicable self SAS also seemed to poses a cold indifference to the being of people around him and an ongoing disinterest for other person's feelings and opinions fortunately he'd expected something similar to that only not on so high level again he inwardly sighed something that I've been doing far too many times in these past two days Kakashi thought with annoyance he also had a sinking feeling that it would probably become another habit of his putting back that fear at the back of his head Kakashi watched as his students finished their lunch that he had left in Bento boxes after they have finished their meal team seven heard their new Sensei clear his throat and say in his distinctive laid-back voice well since we are a real team now I want us to reintroduce ourselves yet again seeing Sakura and narut opening their mouths likely to complain he quickly added I know what you are going to say yes we had already introduced ourselves earlier but since I didn't expect you to pass we obviously hadn't had a real introduction well I think I will go first as I I had told the least amount about myself this morning also do note that I will ask you some questions some that you will have to answer like them or not otherwise you will get a really nasty surprise quote only grunts could be heard from the sitting children as they impatiently waited their teacher to begin they were clearly dissatisfied and while none of them was particularly happy with their sensei's announcement the newly promoted jenin still couldn't Force themselves to disobey their dangerous teacher well as you all know no my name is haki Kakashi I like to read and watch works of art such as the renowned ichaa series I also like dogs salt- fried soury drinking sake during celebrations bathing in famous bakura public baths and many other little things that you will probably discover during these several following years I dislike you and ninja betrayers and anyone calling me old because of my hair a warning for the future whoever calls my silver hair gray or white will pay a understood after being met with three Hasty nods Kakashi continued as for my dreams I didn't have any at all well until now but now that I am your junin Sensei my dream is to do everything in my power to Aid all three of you in any way I can and to help you achieve your dreams the jenin stared at their surprising Sensei and couldn't help but smile Naruto positively beamed while even sas's lips curved for a moment before his face returned to their customary scowl well that's enough about me now Naruto I believe it's your turn I am Uzumaki Naruto I like Sakura Chan aruka Sensei sandane Jan and pranking I also adore Ramen it is the food of the Gods I dislike persons who judge people without getting to know them self-centered bastards in the color white my hobbies are training cranking eating Ramen at ichiraku and listening to gan's stories my dream is to become Hokage and to surpass all of them before me SAS snorted while Sakura kept her thoughts to herself a snowball in fires of hell has more chance of surviving than does Naruto's dream have of actually becoming reality Kakashi meanwhile nodded and said with a smile visible underneath his mask well that's certainly a dream worth striving for narut I will do my best to help you with it at Kakashi's words Naruto's face brightened even further Kakashi then turned to sasak and motioned him to speak okay sake your turn all of you already know my name I like acquiring new Jutsu and learning anything that could help me become stronger I dislike being held back stagnation and people who distract me with foolish things I also dislike many other things my ambition is to kill a certain individual and to revive my clan Sakura and to a lesser extent Naruto both looked slightly uneasy about their teammates short monologue Kakashi merely thought worriedly it is just as sand Dame Sama and I feared he is concentrated so much on his revenge that he cares about no one or nothing that could stand in his way on his quest to become more powerful I will have to change that and the sooner the better otherwise Kakashi quickly hid the shutters he felt at those possibilities he as much as the sand Dame didn't want another Oro chimaru formed under his very nose retaining his iron self-control in the outside world Kakashi merily continued and finally us Sakura let's hear it a hem well my name is Haruno Sakura I like reading flowers cats sason and many other things I dislike youo Naruto and anyone who stands in between me and my love I also don't like bullies and chores I don't have any real Hobbies except reading books and going on walks in konah his Parks my dream is well it's a secret narut looked hurt while SAS looked almost uncom comfortable a typical teenage girl with a crush thought Kakashi tiredly Cammy I am too old to deal with that silly kind of stuff okay then I going to ask you some questions please remember that you had to answer them truthfully hearing annoyed grumbles Kakashi asked his first question Naruto why do you hate the color white interested the other two children waited as Naruto grew unusually quiet Nar was silent for a few moments then sighed and answered it it just represents to me pain and death H that's interesting albeit not very surprising white would remind him of hospitals which a person like him would only associate with pain Kakashi nodded understandingly and asked again a and why do you want to be the Hokage a fierce exclamation from Naruto surprised him as well as sasak and Sakura who had been carefully listening to Naruto's uncommonly silent voice to prove that I'm not a nobody to prove that will be someone important someone who can be respected and not ignored so that everyone will have to acknowledge my existence and to protect everyone else from suffering the way I did finished Naruto his speech his voice reduced to Whispers at the very end Sakura stared with confusion at Naruto while sasak had a gleam of curiosity in his eyes curiosity which he soon forcibly suffocated Kakashi nodded and then turned to sasak that will be enough Naruto just blankly nodded at Kakashi's sentence not even properly registering it SAS tell me what do you like to eat hush stretched as all present stared at sake until he replied in slightly confused and irritated voice Tomatoes Naruto soon snapped out from his Ry by the sudden silence and chuckled when he heard sake's answer his Good Humor slowly returning he actually likes to eat something Sakura on the other hand quickly committed this fact to memory and SAS who killed your clan utter silence rained as all three of jennen turned to gaze at Kakashi SAS could feel his blood boil his anger mixing with confusion and surprise how can he not know he's a junan for cammy's sake he must know Itachi is one of kah's most famous missing n present in every Bingo book then why the hell is he asking me this why do you ask said SAS menacingly it's impossible that you don't already know so why Kakashi stared impassively at sas's wrathful face and then answered calmly and evenly I do already know but your teammates don't that doesn't concern them at all it's my life not theirs they have no reason nor right to know raged saake before Kakashi's cool and collected voice cut him off like a knife on the contrary sake they do they're your teammates and even if they weren't the identity of the murderer is not a secret they could easily find out I merely wanted to make sure that they heard it from your mouth and not from somebody else's wouldn't you prefer it that way sasak nashed his teeth as he tried to control himself then with all of his willpower he slowly forced himself to be calm in an icy cold voice he answered fine the whole U Clan down to every man woman and child including my family was killed by I Itachi my elder brother the word brother carried a harsh undertone in SAS fatted out as a curse both Naruto and Sakura were horrified twin expressions of sympathy and shock were on their faces spotting their faces SAS viciously snarled I don't need your pity I don't need anyone's pity so stop looking at me like that Kakashi watching this merely shook his head it had to be done they would have never connected if that stood between them all the time and now they know Kakashi waited some time to let SAS calm down and others to take it all in before calling to Sakura Sakura why do you dislike Naruto he's your teammate from now on and I think he deserves to know why he's annoying loud and stupid he makes lame jokes and is always focusing only on his stupid pranks and he is always screaming my ears off with his shouts sakur achan also he always distracts me from talking with sasak aun if narut looked hurt before he now looked heartbroken after several moments some of his grief turned to Ang and he practically growled okay then I won't distract you anymore from your precious sake Sakura good you do that she responded right back at Naruto also somewhat angrily however why was she angry when narut finally stopped pestering her she didn't know that didn't go over too well I didn't think that Sakura would feel so much animosity towards Naruto H it is cruel of me thinking her reaction a relatively good thing but at least Naruto won't be burdened with a meaningless crush anymore however it may complicate the Team Dynamics for a while well I'll have to make it up to Naruto later as for Sakura I have to do something about her Crush too a teenage girl Obsession has no place in a kunoichi's life also something must be done to temper sake obsession with vengeance oh Sakura one more question has anyone in your family ever been a Shinobi asked Kakashi Sakura who answered with confusion and trepidation no I'm the first one in other words it's up to me to make sure she becomes dedicated to Shinobi Arts Kakashi sighed yet again and started stealing himself for months to come right well then listen up you three tomorrow will be our first training as team seven I will tell you about your skills as Shinobi then but I have one thing to tell you now it may be the most important thing I ever tell you you may have wondered why I asked you questions that you had to answer or why you had to reintroduce yourselves the truth is it wasn't for my sake it was for yours and your teammates sakes there is a known fact in konaha an Unwritten Shinobi law if you will it goes like this the members of the same team are family they are like a small pack of wolves bound together with unbreakable bonds like a single entity you will eventually learn that this saying at least is very true you may not believe it now SAS said Kakashi to the Uchi due to his apparent disbelief but someday you will and that day isn't so far off trust me on that one now you may go home be right here tomorrow at 7:00 sharp oh and eat breakfast this time that means you too Sakura we have much to do tomorrow at 7:00 the three rookie jenon were standing before the three stumps form yesterday's exam this time all three of them had eaten breakfast that morning however there was no sound to be heard even Nar usually loud was silent the still in silence started to slowly get to Sakura she wasn't used to quiet nor did she particularly liked it it reminded her of her worst days of childhood after trying to talk to SAS several times during which he remained unresponsive she decided to talk to narut without taking any particular heed to the yesterday's events hey narut when do you think Kaka Naruto's cold Interruption Cut Her Off stop talking to me sakur aan I am not interested in anything you had to say vaguely hurt by his cold retort and by his dropping of chant suffix as well as being a little angry she replied look narut just because I as I said Sakura stop trying to talk to me talk to your precious saus [ __ ] for a change fine if that idiot doesn't want to talk to me then great like a [ __ ] like him has anything interesting to say sasak [ __ ] what do you think Kakashi Sensei will teach us sasak merely uttered a non-committing shrug but in her desire to fill the silence Sakura asked yet again so do you like to eat anything with tomatoes yet again SAS ignored her the next half an hour no matter what questions she asked sake or how much she tried to speak with Naruto both of her male teammates ignored her it was half an hour later that Sakura found the outlet for her frustration in the form of her Sensei a scream from Sakura a snort from Naruto and a glare from sasak met Kakashi as he appeared Kakashi Sensei you're late ma ma Sakura don't shout so much you see I met a group of little kids whose balloon got stuck on a 30m tree and I liar there are number 30m trees inside of city of konaha the highest tree is the one with 18 M and it is located in shm's park on completely other side of konaha well yes anyway we have to get down to Serious matters I told you yesterday that I would today announce your weaknesses and strengths as Shinobi you Naruto have one of the worst chakra control I have even your Tai Jutsu is sloppy and slow and you don't use your head while fighting those are your weaknesses your strengths lie in your huge chakra reserves and unpredictability Sakura your chakra levels are horribly low and you don't know how to release a lowlevel genjutsu even with your good chakra control your stealth is lacking as is your physical constit tion your strengths are the beem mentioned chakra control and academic knowledge SAS your Tai Jutsu and Ninjutsu are good as is your stealth nonetheless they all can be improved also you are overconfident and narrow-minded in a fight those qualities very often lead to defeat a good Shinobi never underestimates his opponent nor does he overestimates his own abilities each one of you lacks quite a few things they need to have before they can be called good Shinobi Naruto wore a scowl while SAS had a nasty snear on his face Sakura meanwhile was the very image of depression you all have your own shortcomings but so do the rest of the Shinobi everybody has a flaw the shortcomings that you have will be corrected in time I will help you there and Aid you in any way I can I had promised to make you strong and so I shall however you won't get stronger without diligent hard work and without working on your flaws you'll need tenacity and determination so the question is will you work hard for your goals will you put your heart mind and soul to the end of getting better so what is your answer Kakashi's question was met with three matching Expressions Naruto's determined SAS grim and saker's firm voices were United in a single decisive shout yes Kakashi smiled and squinted happily good let the training begin we'll start with increasing your physical strength and your body's efficiency and performance you know those pre-training exercises they teach you at the Academy do them after that all three of you I want 60 push-ups 100 sit-ups and 75 leg UPS in a little over than 30 minutes all three of them were done okay 2 minutes rest then again the next following 3 hours Kakashi had them do many and various exercises for different body parts with a rest every 20 minutes each lasting a minute or two after the end of it Sakura couldn't lift herself up from the ground while sake was also hardpressed to move Naruto on the other hand while being quite winded was still capable of standing straight SAS seeing that dead last Almost unaffected pushed himself up to his feet and forced himself to stand Kakashi inwardly smirked quite maliciously we are going to have a lot of fun these following several months he excellent you three now rest and then we go to run some laps around konaha s loudly groaned while both Naruto and sasak were distinctly unhappy with the prospects of running laps around konaha seeing their expression Kakashi's smirk only widened now now kids remember no pain no gain easy for him to say Naruto grumbled team seven spent the next following three weeks working hard on their endurance and strength from morning till dusk they would exercise lift and carry rocks swim climb run and once they even had to jump jump across the Rocks scattered all over a river that led to a waterfall luckily nobody had lost his her balance and fell into the river sake initially far behind Naruto in terms of stamina and endurance had greatly improved and was quickly closing the gap between himself and Naro or he would have if Naruto hadn't improved almost just as much while SAS had the stamina close to a rookie chunin now Naruto easily had the stamina of a junan s meanwhile had benefited the most she had been forced to abandon her diet and eat normally so that she could keep up with Kakashi's harsh Rhythm while she wasn't even close in terms of stamina to sake and even further from Naruto's insane endurance she was on the level of an average jenin which was much better than her former level of being almost a civilian when she was among the worst of Academy students at physical fitness unfortunately however Kakashi's students hadn't improved as much socially Naruto and Sakura were still not speaking to each other while sasak was unsocial as ever it was after those two weeks that Kakashi decided that they had enough exercising for now okay I am satisfied how far all of you have progressed because of that I decided that it is time for us to start taking missions seeing and hearing his students happy exclamations with even SAS wearing a satisfied smir Kakashi had to I Smile pity that their happiness will stop to last when they found out out just what kind of missions will they perform well it's all part of becoming a Shinobi on another hand I will test each of you in weapon throwing skills if you need work in them we will reserve the afternoons after the missions for training so we could make you better at it we will also keep doing an exercise or two in the mornings along with an occasional lap around konaha or a short swim in a lake just to keep up your physical fitness as Kakashi had thought none of his students was particularly happy when they discovered that they would be performing D ranked missions or as the collective Society of konah jenin called them chores after their first mission which consisted of running errands for a retired Weaver who had unnatural love of cats the members of Team seven were in a quite foul mood seeing this Kakashi immediately ordered them to run laps around konaha until they cooled off he had no intention of giving deadly weapons to a group of psychotic angry BRS no matter how cute his students were normally they turned into terrifying monsters when in a truly bad temper later that afternoon he took them to a special designed training area that was a perfect spot for practicing the use of various weapons listen up I want each of you to throw 10 weapons at the targets there five canai and five sherkin Kakashi pointed to targets that were attached to trees 20 M away Naruto grinned cocki piece of cake I'll go first he took a step forward and threw five canai in quick success session without much aiming out of five thrown four hit the tree but only one was even near the center of the target H let's see you throw shuriken sure Kakashi Sensei this time Naruto aimed a little longer but was rewarded with better scores although not by much all of his shans hit the target while yet again only one was near the target I am feeling generous today so I'll give you a five out of 10 for Kai and six for shuriken what I shot better than that actually no you wasted one canai and only one was even near the center of the target as for shuriken you were better there as you didn't waste any of them but the rest was the same result after I valuate sasak and Sakura I'll return back to you Naruto frowned and muttered under his breath okay Sakura now you hi Sakura determined to do better than narut also being jealous because of Naruto's enormous stamina took one big breath and then quickly threw first shuriken and then canai well you did better than Naruto at least out of five shuriken all five Hit the Target also three of them hit the center out of Kai One Missed completely but two hit near dead center what I'm going to give you let's see aha eight for shuriken and six for Kai saker's face brightened while Naruto's darkened and finally you sake let's see it hn said sake confidently as he marched so that he could stand in line with his Target in a few seconds all of his canai hit the center or very near Center while four out of the shuriken hit the center with only one piercing the outer rim well you did the best you get a 10 for Kai and nine for shuriken Sask smirked widely see that idiot that's how you throw weapons if possible nutk face even further darkened until it resembled a stormy Dark Cloud now now sake no gloating well Naruto since you are the one with the worst score I guess that means I'll help you first let's start from the basics namely how to hold different weapons and how to correctly throw them you too listen to this also I'll tell you some stuff that they don't teach you at the Academy so a canai is held like this but there are other various grips that you can the following week Kakashi taught his students all that he knew about the basic Shinobi weapons Kai and shuriken He also mentioned some other tools that Shinobi can use like wires and smoke bombs but he mainly sticked to throwing weapons he told them everything about them that he had learned under the tutelage of yandi as well as what he learned during his days in ano he showed them various grips ways to throw weapons how to hold them and use them effectively he also taught them how to hit dead centers without aiming long and how to fire accurately in Rapid succession now both Naruto and Sakura could hit 10 out of 10 with Sakura being still some whatat better and of sure hand SAS meanwhile had achieved his longlasting desire of being capable to hit every Target of a special exercise area located in woods outside of uiha Clan compound he had dreamed of being capable of doing that ever since he saw he Tachi do it with ease while he finally succeeded in doing it it still wasn't with ease of his elder brother that however didn't anger sake after all before he was first trained by Kakashi in weapons he never succeeded in hting every Target on Center now however after Kakashi's lesson on Kay and shuriken he could finally feeling that he was doing something worthwhile SAS was in a great mood the following few days despite the dreaded d rank missions his teammates were quite surprised to see him so pleased about something well I had increased their physical power as well as their skills and weapons I think it's high time for a chakra control exercise and after that I'll have to see if I can get them a c rank Mission they'll need it for some real experience the day after Kakashi informed his team that he will start teaching them how to survive in Wilderness as well as the basics of Camp making tracking and hiding we have to cover this before we are both able and allowed to perform C Rank and higher missions I trust that all of you are tired of D ranks or am I wrong angry mutters answered him I thought so well the sooner we do this the sooner we can do the more interesting missions so let's get get down to it for 7even days Kakashi taught his students in the vital skills of survival during field missions however his students proved to be a constant source of frustration it was only with inhuman persistence that he finally taught Naruto patience so that he could track decently Sakura how to ignore filth and hide properly and SAS how to reduce himself to building campsites not truly sure that the trio learned their lessons he nevertheless decided to ask Hokage for a c rank mission after all they would benefit more fully from practice in an actual Forest several days distance from a town however when he did ask the Hokage for a c rank the old man only replied that it was still early and promptly gave them an another D- rank Mission disappointed Kakashi decided that it was high time to teach his students of chakra exercise so that they would grow more in depth at efficiently using their chakra and they were in dire need of Greater control Sakura not so much but SAS and uto needed as much practice and control as they could get and he had a perfect chakra exercise ready for the fresh jins today I'll teach you how to climb trees announced Kakashi cheerfully the day after the end of lessons in tracking and stealth 8 hours later they are still at it yeah I can't believe those two I finished that exercise in half an hour how can they not do something so simple Kakashi having heard and replayed this particular part of conversation with Sakura several times this day thus greatly annoyed settled for a biting remark well I guess it has to do with your chakra levels the more chakra you have the harder it is so I guess that you have a seventh of sas's chakra and I won't even try to measure how much more chakra Naruto has than you your chakra levels are not even completely equal to that of an average jenin Sakura hearing this immediately stopped complaining and looked somewhat humbled good I couldn't take any more whining well Kashi realized somewhere deep inside himself that he was somewhat harsh with his only female student he couldn't bring himself to care at the moment she is a kunoichi it's time for her to grow up but after several minutes after his burst of anger he found himself feeling somewhat guilty seeing Sakura is still somewhat sad face he told her listen Sakura don't worry about having so little chakra you have improved greatly since you graduated from the academy your chakra has increased at least six fold and it will continue to increase if you continue training hard I am sure that right now you're stronger than Eno said Kakashi and then I smiled Sakura hearing this immediately brightened thanks Kakashi Sensei say should I give some pointers to sasun and Naruto sure as long as they want it and they certainly do need it and it will better their teamwork and friendship if they help each other it turned out that both of the boys refused soccer's help Naruto's unfriendly demeanor with Sakura hadn't changed in past several weeks so he uncaringly turned her down while SAS was as prideful as ever and thought himself above the tips from a girl he considered weak Sakura was quite hurt by their callous refusal and was both angry and exasperated with their still slow progress Kakashi seeing this only faced Pond well it seems that we have issues other than Shinobi competence that we had to work on it seems that me and the boys are going to have a long talk Sakura training for you is over you can go back home but what about those two asked Sakura pronouncing the last two words bitterly don't worry about them Sakura as soon as they finish they and I are going to have a conversation concerning spurning one teammate's help 1 hour later when the last vestages of the day escaped sasak and Naruto had completed their task and were feeling quite satisfied with themselves that is until they noticed their sensei's angry oneeyed glare in a blink of an eye he surrounded them both with wires and bound them to the nearest tree with cold harshness after making them collide with the name tree when the two boys glared angrily at Kakashi and Naruto opened his mouth to shout both were stopped cold by Kakashi's face that looked carved in stone so the word echoed sinisterly so you to I want to hear explanation as to why you refused your teammate's help and why you returned her helpfulness with insults you have heard her do you know that you two or do you simply do not care as it looks the two were quiet for several moments then sake said I don't need her help I don't need help of anyone as weak as her besides she's a ninja if she is hurt by a simple refusal what will she do when she is forced to actually fight or kill you keep saying that she is weak SAS but she had completed the chakra exercise far faster than you if we were to measure strength by that it would seem that she is much stronger than you sake merely scowled and what about you Naruto you also think that she is weak no I just don't want her help why not I don't want help of anyone who considers me a [ __ ] I don't want to owe anything to someone like that Kakashi sighed and then released their binds you free to go however in not so distant future we'll have a long conversation about teamwork and relations between teammates all four of us Naruto grumbled while SAS had his usual scowl on High face Kakashi shook his head what I am going to do with these tiring students of mine they cannot function as a platoon until they deal with their differences I just hope that I can get rid of that harmful tension and foolish Behavior tomorrow wait I have a plan it could work but I must work out some details yes it could definitely work single quote and with those thoughts in mind Kakashi started to forge his clever plan in the meantime Naruto and SAS returned to their homes EX exhausted and at unne tomorrow morning Kakashi looked as all of his students arrived he was for the first time in over 13 years early since he had taken up team seven he had reduced his ordinary lateness to only half an hour now however he had an important things to set in motion and the survival of Team seven depended on it he observed the faces of his students narut had an uneasy expression on his face which held a somewhat Broody undertone as's face was a cold mask while Sakura was trying her best to ignore her teammates yes thought Kakashi sadly the future of Team the 7th of May very well depend on my plan whose first part must be said today since each and every one of you lacks Ninjutsu proficiency even you SAS I have decided to teach all of you a Jutsu so that you could increase your versatility and allow you to have more abilities at your disposal a Jutsu great what is the Jutsu Kakashi sensei huh question mark quote taking in his students expected faces Kakashi slowly answered Naruto's question the judu I will teach you is a rather basic one but then again you three are still only jenin rookie jenin at that you have to start small the JSU is a Caden one or otherwise known as fire style Jutsu it's called Caden fire stream and can be used both in and out of combat you can light a bonfire with it or you can simple burn your enemies it's a d ranked Jutsu but if you put enough chakra in it it becomes a c rank but I am getting too far ahead I should probably start by teaching you the basic facts of ninjutsu art most of it youve probably heard in Academy but it won't hurt to hear it again and in a more focused and concentrated lesson you may also hear something new something you will need later on in Shinobi life and you will need to know these basic facts if you are ever to become a proper Shinobi SAS looked disappointed by the Jutsu Kakashi was going to teach them but his expression said that he agreed to listen to his sensei's lesson as it may give him an useful piece of knowledge Sakura looked eager to both hear the theory lesson and to learn the basic fire Jutsu while Naruto was ready to endure the horrible agonies that the lesson will give him as long as he got to learn the new Jutsu it didn't matter that it was a basic one basic ones can also be very useful besides this one looked very useful okay here we go we'll start from Chakra chakra is a unique formation of energy that is created when the Body Energy a vital force which is generated in the cells of living organisms and the spiritual energy the willpower and the force of mental fortitude are combined chakra is used in enormous varieties of situations without the ability to mold and harness chakra which is the basis of all the Jutsu we perform Shinobi wouldn't even exist chakra can also be used to enhance the body's basic functions for example Kiri Shinobi had the ability to reinforce their lungs with chakra so that they could stay far longer underwater than humanly possible or you can simple use chakra to increase the speed and strength of your limbs and so on once created chakra moves about the body to any of its 64 release chakra points utilizing a network of passages not unlike the circulatory system chakra is molded and manipulated by various means out of which the hand seals are by far the most common ones there are 12 ordinary hand seals which respond to the 12 animals of the zodiac however there are more hand seals but we won't go into those depending on the ratio in which physical and spiritual energy is mixed different types of chakra can be formed it can be Elemental chakra healing chakra and yin and yang chakra the chakra that interest is at the moment is the elemental chakra it is used almost exclusively for ninjutsu as the name says Elemental chakra is used to perform Elemental Jutsu the elemental Jutsu are divided into five known Elemental Natures fire wind lightning earth water most ninja have a natural Affinity to one type of chakra while there are some who poses two chakra affinities and in very and extremely rare cases three affinities regardless of the Affinity every Shinobi has the ability to perform Jutsu of every common Affinity the only only difference is the difficulty of learning and performing a Jutsu that is not an affinity to said Shinobi each element is both stronger and weaker against another the order is fire wind lightning earth and water with each being weaker than the previous and stronger than the next water Loops back into fire for example a lightning based attack would be very effective against an earth-based defense but easily countered by a wind user however if said lightning based attack has a substant itial larger amount of chakra than the wind one the lightning based one will prevail additionally Elemental techniques can be countered by techniques of the same element provided the technique being countered as of equal or lesser power Kakashi paused there and gazed at his students all of them even Naruto were carefully listening although I said that there are five elements that isn't completely true there are more elements that are formed by combining the five common ones however not anybody can use these elements only those with a kekai Jen a bloodline limit that enables The Offspring of a certain line to use and have special abilities can use them the jutsus are divided in six ranks e- rank the jutsus that Academy are teaching you as well as certain minor jutsus that are used in making camp and other things outside of battle d rank the jenin jutsus C rank the upper gen and to low Chun and jutsus B rank upper Chun and to low Jun and Jutsu a rank junin jutsus S rank cage level Jutsu almost every one of them is also a forbidden one a kinjutsu kinjutsu or band techniques are those Jutsu from the three main categories which have been declared forbidden by The Village cage this can be because of the toll it places on the ninja or the evil nature of the technique used well that's enough for now time to actually show you the Jutsu narut and Sakura leaned forward and eagerness while SAS remained impassive here are the hand seals got them good now practice doing them without molding chakra and when you can perform them without pausing and quickly tell me almost immediately sake finished he was quickly followed by Sakura and finally after 6 or seven minutes Naruto was satisfied with his hand seals okay then first you convert your chakra to fire Elemental chakra then you mold it in a stream after that you direct the stream to your mouth and exhale it it should exit your mouth as a stream of fire hence the techniques named Caden fir stream bear in mind that the longitude and the size of the stream depends on the amount of chakra put in the Jutsu try it sasak managed to create a decent stream in his first try Sakura created a small stream that almost immediately failed while Naruto exhaled a huge cloud of smoke good work sake continue to practice and try to create streams of different size Sakura put more chakra into it and also practice Naruto you didn't transform your chakra completely try again after Naruto's second unsuccessful try after which he created only more smoke Kakashi decided to help more actively his student okay narut come here do you know what are you doing wrong no you put a large amount of chakra in the Jutsu but you don't transform all of your chakra that you put into it now now try morphing your chakra longer and let's see what happens yes Kakashi Sensei said Naruto with a determination in his eyes after several more tries Naruto finally succeeded to create a fire stream although it was an uncontrolled one because of that Kakashi had to dodge to keep himself from burning sasak watching all of this since he had mastered the Jutsu in his opinion decided to voice his comment what Adobe you can't even perform correctly at utu as easy as that you are disgraced to the Shinobi name quiet Kakashi's voice cut through sas's voice like a sharp knife he didn't like sas's words or the tone in which they were delivered they reminded him painfully of his own do obido long time ago even the same disdain was seen on sake's face as he insulted narut Nar continued to practice SAS show me what did you do during the time I helped Naruto yes Sensei answered narut angrily all the while glaring at sake fine said sake somewhat grimly with an ugly sneer on his face after seeing that sake had indeed improved somewhat and had done what Kakashi had told him to do the junan Sensei of Team 7 turned to his only female student what about you Sakura okay sensei here excitedly said Sakura as she produced a thin but steady stream of flame good now listen up you three I want you to practice this Jutsu for an hour try creating smaller and bigger Flames shorter longer experiment with your new Jutsu after the 1 hour is up we will hold a contest of ass swords so I recommend that you still practice even if you think that you have mastered it yes that means you too SAS well what are you waiting for begin Kakashi patiently waited for an hour to pass before he announced okay time's up let's see how much have you improved I will now hold two contests one is to see who can produce a biggest stream and the second who can the thinnest the first contest measures your Force other your control the winners will as a reward be taught a new C rank Jutsu understood yes okay let's get started first contest is simple just the thickest stream of fire you can hn easy Kaden fir stream shouted SAS and produced a stream that was thick at least 50 cm SAS after seeing the size of it just smirked not bad Sakura yes Sensei said a somewhat subdued Sakura a thin stream that hadn't even 20 cm in width exited her mouth it's okay Sakura you'll de better some other time practice some more now Naruto your turn narut was feeling nervous but he shook it off and gathered as much of his chakra as he dared and concentrated with all of his power on creating fire chakra and molding it correctly after several seconds he finally thought that it was ready and yelled Caden fire stream and as soon as he said that a huge stream left his mouth it was at least as twice as big as that of SAS maybe even more so we have a winner said an unshaken Kakashi truthfully he expected Naruto to win this competition it was one of the reason he chose the competition to be in pure Force Naruto's teammates however were Flagger basted not giving them the time to recover Kakashi continued now the other contest make your stream as thin as possible Naruto you first unfortunately Naruto seemed incapable of producing a stream smaller than sake's 50 cm one sake determined to win at least one competition succeeded in reducing his stream to Mere 5 cm however even that was not to be as Sakura succeeded in reducing her stream to about 2 or 3 cm well it seems that Sakura and Naruto will be taught another C ranked Jutsu tomorrow while sasak won't sasak was Furious how did that Dolby did better than him or that pink-haired weakling he was the last uiha a Shinobi genius an epitome of everything an aspiring Shinobi should be then how beneath his anger however there was also some disappointment and a tiny Speck of hurt a long-forgotten remnant of an often ignored child his teammates however were full of happiness even Sakura seeing her Crush upset couldn't entirely shake off her satisfaction at defeating the young genius however that one word stopped cold both Naruto's and Sakura's happiness and sas's anger if you apologize to your teammates I'll be willing to teach you the Jutsu but only and I do mean only if you put some effort into really apologizing to them for insulting their capabilities as Shinobi after all they proved that they aren't such as you thought them to be so I guess they owe an apology from you SAS seemed to weigh his options to humiliate himself but get a new Jutsu or not and get nothing but in the end desire for the new Jutsu prevailed after all as much as he hated being humiliated if it was going to help him fulfill his vow he will endure as many humiliations as he had to I'll apologize I am sorry for mocking you said SAS almost muttering under his breath and looking everywhere but his teammates no SAS not like that meet their eyes and apologize sake glared heatedly at his teacher but Kakashi remained unfaced Sask sighed and tried again I am sorry for dismissing your worth as Shinobi is that good asked sake with a scowl on his face this time he looked his teammates in the eyes and apologized loud and clear much better well we still have time for a d rank Mission he was met with angry yelling well since we have already done about 26 missions and we need only 30 missions to be allowed AC rank one let's ask the Hokage maybe if we do only this one more he'll give that mission to us it was only after the team seven agreed to do two more D ranked missions that the Hokage gave them AC rank one your client just arrived this morning since he is currently too tired to greet you and discuss the details of the mission I have decided to postpone the start of the mission to tomorrow 11:00 he will expect you at the Eastern Gate use this time that you have left to gather your supplies and prepare yourselves for a mission that might take two weeks or more farewell and good luck oh and I almost forgot the client's name is tazuna as the team seven was leaving the hokage's tower Kakashi spoke to his students Sakura Naruto sake I have several things I need to do while you do these bothersome missions after you do these 2D ranks go to the bridge of Spirits near the NIT dimes Park I'll be waiting for you there the trio looked uncertain for a few moments then nodded Kakashi Sensei how will you know when we have finished the D ranks don't worry Sakura I'll know now run along kids the Jen and bristled but nevertheless went away time to call in some favores ah Kakashi San what can I do for you this sunny day Kakashi was currently located in one of the bigger weapon stores in konaha although it wasn't neither the biggest nor the one with most profits it had been for quite some time frequented by Anu and some of the more experienced junin the store produced various weapons of finest quality and its goods mainly concentrated on Shinobi Kakashi being a former U captain in a junin since his 13th year had supplied himself in this store almost his whole adult life during that time he had become a good friend of the store's owner seni wa EDI a former San of seni Clan that had been disowned by his family due to his unwillingness to follow the clan rules as well as the lack of talent in kenjutsu and weapon wielding when edgy was 17 his clan had finally had enough of his rebellious behavior and refusal to dedicate his time to his studies and literally threw him out of the clan compion still a jenon at odds with whole of his clan and nowhere in sight of rising in the Shinobi ranks edgy decided to retire as a Shinobi and leave konaha sometime later he joined a caravan that was leaving for the free City cities far to the south in the following two decades he would lead a life of insecurity plots riches adventures and danger he was a sailor a pirate a spy a merchant a miner a blacksmith a soldier a musician a thief and finally an apprentice of a Bard who had some skills in Jutsu when his mentor known only as yuku died he inherited some of the old gizer Fortune the stolen gold along with the money edgy had stashed away in his days as a pirate formed a small fortune it was then that he decided to return to konohagakure as luck would have it the day he returned was exactly 7 days after cao's defeat seeing his proud Homeland devastated by the attack edgi decided to help how he could and the best way to help was in his opinion to invest in skilled blacksmiths who lost their homes and or Fortune not to mention the fact that he could become rich that way and methaphor spit his former Clan into the by becoming the provider with the best weapons around 13 years later after many years of prosperity edgy was known as a cunning entrepreneur with eccentric behavior and many connections to the city's underground why yes edgy San as for weather indeed it is nice but I would rather talk about business what no time for pleasantries Kakashi said not even to indulge in old acquaintance I am afraid not not this time however when I return from my newest Mission perhaps then then excellent I'll have the finest sake you ever tasted prepared for then now you were talking about business care to enlighten me I am in need of four total sets of survival and field equipment along with some customized cloth assembles and weapons the ones you provide for thebu edgy a bald 45-year-old with youthful appearance sharp angular features and with tan skin who also had an elegant black eye patch covering one of his eyes leaned closer to whisper to Kakashi I though you had left the U years ago actually the last I heard you were a Jun and Sensei you know that I am not allowed to sell that kind of goods to anyone except Anu not to mention jenin if any of the officials caught the scent of this I wouldn't ever be able to buy those high level and expensive Goods like chakra pills or those small repeat crossbows or the deadly poisons from The Forest of death the only reason that they allow me to trade all those goods is because they trust me to supply Anu and only Anu with it I am sorry old friend I can't help you there why don't you buy something else like that Katana over there a true Masterpiece I tell you it was forged for a legendary Samurai who unfortunately died before it was delivered to him no or how about that glaive in the pole arm corner you always complained about having shorter reach than Swordsmen you encountered no said Kakashi persistently edgy however was not to be deterred well then let us go to my home and eat those Wonder wonderful honey sweets that you are so fond of and talk about those little Devils that you call students who have managed to pass the vicious test of the legendary copy ninja Kakashi Kakashi sighed deeply and decided to pull out his trump card guilt sorry old friend but you gave me no other choice edgy you remember six years ago when they discovered Contraband Goods in this very store of course I remember Kakashi it was a rather Unforgettable experience if somewhat unpleasant nasty business that the Contraband as I recall was the Higgly expensive mahogany wood which is forbidden to sell to foreigners yet the Anu overheard some men talking in your Sellar about exporting it to e for enormous money IA also being our mortal enemy it was only due to my vouching and my reputation as an honored Anu captain that prevented you from being arrested and your property being taken away from you even though I knew that you were a part of the plot and not a victim as I implied I helped you as a friend I never asked you for any kind of favor nor did I frankly intended to until now allow my jenin and me to supply ourselves with the Anu equipment in your store and we are even edgy sighed and then removed his eye patch two perfectly normal and ordinary sharp black eyes met Kakashi's uncovered one fine old friend I can't say no to that but now we are even still would you like to come later to my home and let erid Chan make those sweets of hers that you adore the sake off offer also still stands perhaps later in the evening after I have met with the little Devils as you call them now let's see how much standard uo gear has changed during these past several years as the tired team seven trudged along the road to the bridge of spirits they were met with a cheerful yo in smoke when smoke cleared it revealed their often crazy Sensei see I told you I would know where to find you now to the Crux of the matter well the matter of why I told you to meet me here first I have several things to give you each of the Jen and was tossed an enormous bundle and a large scroll open the bundles the Jen and were quite surprised at uncommonly Stern Kakashi's voice knowing that their laid-back Sensei was not often like this except when serious they didn't hesitate in heeding his command after struggling with catching the heavy items they opened the huge bundles and were shocked to see two respective sets of black and gray Shinobi clothing inside pull out the clothes after pulling out the clothes the jennin couldn't help but admire briefly The Outfits they were simple and efficient yet had some sort of deadly elegance and even little of beauty the garments consisted of pale brown boots made of specially prepared deer skin that softened the boots greatly and made them adjust to the person wearing them next came baggy black pants with a comfortable shirt of same color both the pants and the shirts had several sets of pockets to complet the Assemble were the gloves made of same color and material as the boots as well as a long and wide dark gray cloak with a long Hood the cloak was of simple design with little decorations in form of very small Kani the inscriptions that could be seen were in ordinary black color there was also a brown belt several larger than usual shuriken and Kai pouches and thin gray body armor made of steel intended for the upper body without covering the arms let me show you how to put them on said Kakashi in somewhat softer manner first strip yourself of all clothing save undergarments yes Sensei while they said it the trio seemed a little nervous about being almost naked especially Sakura was apprehensive about it since she was the only female in the group don't nervous Sakura we are your teammates and there is no great privacy in any team especially a gen in one come on I assure you that I am not a pedophile Kakashi finished the sentence with his famous ey smile H High said Sakura with a wavering smile Kakashi sighed and then proceeded to strip after several moments he was only in his boxers Sakura tried not to stare and was blushing horribly Naruto and SAS after a while decided to follow their sensei's example and also stripped Sakura's blush increased even further when she saw her Crush also clad only in his underpants slowly seeing that she had no choice Sakura shyly stripped until she was only in her panties and bra Naruto seeing Sakura vulnerable decided to have a little of his revenge grinning wickedly he wolf whistled at Sakura Sakura having an already sizable blush rened like a tomato at his action however Naruto's vicious Glee was abruptly stopped by a hard Bonk on his head behave Naruto no embarrassing your teammates got it yes Kakashi Sensei said a sulking Naruto now let's get down to it first first put on the pants and strap the kai and shuriken pouch in the position you are familiar with there are six pockets in total three on either side so feel free to use them however you wish next done the shirt it also has six Pockets but I wouldn't recommend putting anything there if you wearing your armor now onto the armor it is of light weight and it only protects your torso however since it is made of a legure of Steel and some other material it provides an effective protection despite its of width and density from shuriken and almost all canai I can't guarantee protection from pole arms crossbows and swords it's still better to dodge as if you don't have any armor on yourself anyhow it should be easy to get accustomed to that little extra weight the cloak in pocket of its right side you should find a scarf yes it also has pockets the use of the scarf is to hide your face obviously like this after showing them how Kakashi continued both both the scarf and the cloak are made of dark gray color the cloak also has some light brown mixed into it to provide better camouflage before you put on the cloak strap that brown belt good put on the cloak and finally the gloves they are purposely made this thin so that you could retain all of your flexibility while wearing them H let's see in front of him stood his gentine completely clad in the clothes very similar to what U sometimes wore during the day even wearing the scarf in the hood it seems I got their size right after all well close enough Kakashi couldn't help but feel some pride and satisfaction at how his students held themselves in their new attires now you look like true Shinobi by the wrinkles in their scarves he could see that they all were grinning well sas's expression seems somewhere between a grin and a smirk as you see there are two sets of clothes in mainly gray color and two sets of cloth in exclusively black color the black set is indentical to the gray one in everything but it has an extra bandana used for hiding the color of your hair the gray clothes are to be worn during the day and the black clothes during the night oh and Naruto and Sakura you also have to wear your bandana because of your bright hair colors know this these assembles are used for stealth and to blend in in the surroundings there are some tricks to these outfits that you are sure to discover as you use them one more thing you'll have to wear either of these outfits during any exams and any Mission higher than d rank what but Kakashi Sensei I don't want to hear it you'll wear them and that's final remember you represent konaha as it Shinobi kah's reputation depends on how you act what you appear like and how well you perform missions got it but I like orange no Naruto I have nothing against you wearing your jumpsuit in your free time or on D ranked missions although it wouldn't kill you to wear something else however that's your choice now open the Scrolls Kakashi saw his students grumbling and sulking after a couple of minutes of rebellious pouting they obeyed Kakashi and opened the Scrolls he had tossed them as soon as they opened them several bags of large size appeared in Smoke ignoring the outbursts of disbelief and in sas's case scowling Kakashi opened his own scroll and after waiting for smoke to disappear started speaking Listen Up Guys these several bags that are in front of you hold your weapons and Shinobi tools as well as some special stuff that you will probably find some use for well then open them as team seven opened the bags their eyes popped out of their sockets Naruto held in hands several objects that he recognized as some kind of bombs and was grinning viciously Sakura was sporting a rather afraid and alarmed expression as she was holding a bottle of something that looked like a poison while SAS was admiring the skillfully crafted windmill shuriken with a disturbing expression however an agitated murmur from their Sensei stopped their contemplations H I know that I have put it somewhere in my pocket but it isn't there where is it air Sensei but what exactly are you looking for a list of all the items contained in those bags but I can't seem to remember where I put it h ah yes there it is Kakashi turned around from facing his students and in a second he turned around again to face students and was holding a medium-sized piece of paper as team 7even was watching him strangely k hasi laughed sheepishly and rubbed his neck in embarassment he he I forgot that I had put it behind my h8 so that I wouldn't lose it the trio just sweat dropped so what did you want to tell us demanded an Irate sake well I wanted to inform you of your new ninja tools okay let's see what it says here eight windmill shuriken him it seems like every one of you has two so check four sets of Kai and shuriken check four packages of explosion t and stunning tags check smoke grenades check firebombs check steel wire check sbon needles check poison vials check first aid kid and medical pills check and finally chakra pills check okay I guess that's all as Kakashi stopped reading the list he saw his students staring at him after a couple of minutes of it Kakashi had enough of it and commented dry Naruto SAS I am sorry to crush your hopes but I am straight I have nothing against people that like other men but I just don't swing that way oh and Sakura I am not a pedophile if you still feel the way you feel in about 10 years or so call me with loud proclamations of denial and expressions of true horror in saker's case of blush the Jen and assured their Sensei that they meant something else entirely Sensei aren't the stunning tags forbidden for everyone except a junin or an Anu or how about those poison vials I know that there are a lot of Shinobi even jenin that use them but I am pretty sure that I read somewhere poisons that contain Venom from Malay and cite snake are not allowed to be in possession of anyone except ano her academic knowledge finally surfaces my my Sakura I didn't know that you knew how to recognize different kinds of poison I don't there is a label on this vial that says which poison is it oh anyway Kakashi Sensei Sakura said that plenty of this stuff are banned for Jen and to have so tell us why you gave this to us and how did you find it I gave these items to you to use them Naruto what but Kakashi Sensei Sakura if you would let me finish I would explain further don't interrupt me if you want to know why and utter silence met him good as I said Naruto I gave you to use them as to how I got them I pulled some strings and called in some favors I know a lot of people a great number of those people either owe me or are willing to help their friend out Kakashi Sensei that still doesn't tell us exactly why did you gave us Kakashi sighed and then said fine sake I gave you because I think you will have need of these items all of you an enormous part of Shinobi's deadliness and his chances at survival constitute out of Shinobi's skill at using the tools he has at his disposal by arming you with the best equipment that I could find I ensured that at least a part of that exact skill is in your favor after all better weap mean better tools and better tools mean greater chances of success and survival of course even bigger part is knowing how to use these tools but I'll gladly teach you anything I know about how to properly handle and use any tool you have at your current disposal well maybe not the poison vials you are still too young and too excitable for them the point is I want you to be ready for whatever may happen okay I think kind of understood why you gave us this stuff but why now sure it's not a d rank Mission but it's still just a c rank a simple escort mission right besides if you felt this way about being prepared why didn't you tell us and give us this stuff when we became Ninja for real after the graduation test why wait until now yes it's a c rank which doesn't means that there isn't going to be trouble Sakura there are bound to be some Bandits and I'll expect you to fight them and perform your mission thus you still will have a need of superior weapons as for waiting until now well I could could have told you back then but I wanted to toughen you up a bit first and I have purposely waited for your first real Mission well the first real Mission has come and it's time for me to guide you into a one more aspect of being a Shinobi since it's exactly noon now I have exactly 8 hours and a half hour to teach you some tricks and basic wise how's and do about your new equipment and clothes after that straight to bed for you remember we have to up very early because of the mission I'll also be teaching you some stuff during this Mission whenever the situation allows and don't worry I haven't forgot about teaching you a lot of new Jutsu now let's get down to it stunning tags are essentially Kakashi smiled as he watched his extremely tired students leave that particular part of nimes Park well that wasn't half bad for a crash horse in utilizing Shinobi weapons they're probably very tired now but it's still for the best now they'll be able to sleep without dreaming and all tiresome details that it often accompanies they'll need the rest for tomorrow H I wonder if it isn't too late to take up edgy on his offer well why not it's not like he's not used to me being late he he he I wonder if erid Chan is still making those beautiful honey sweets that she's so skilled at and if she still wears that see-through dress I gave her she does have extremely good legs and let's not forget her fine ass and rack yes it's definitely not too late it was with these perverted thoughts that Kakashi disappeared in in a silent poof and in a burst of smoke the next day at the relatively early hour of 7:00 three separate jenin were making their way to the gates to the great annoyance to each one of the trio they were met with no sign of their client nor that of their teacher of course they weren't surprised all that much by their sensei's tardiness but they still hoped that he would be on time at least for the sake of a mission coupled with the absence of that tazuna character who was their client members of the team seven weren't in a particular L good mood after half an hour of nobody showing up their mood started to take a turn for the worse sometime after 1 hour of the agreed meeting time the Jen and were plainly murderous it was these malicious Expressions that met tuna the master bridge builder from the Land of Waves when he finally arrived to the gates he had had a few too many bottles of rum last night so he had overslept and had got up from bed just several minutes ago still disorientated and clumsy from the consequences of the night before tuna was tumbling down the street towards the massive konah haaker gates in no apparent hurry since he didn't know what time it was and thinking that he had enough time until the Gathering time tuna was taking his time and occasionally even taking several small sips from his small Whiskey Bottle to soothe his large headache and attack at his eyes from The Wretched son the Jen and seeing their client lumbering slowly without a care in the world towards them became even more livid suffice to say is after colliding headon with the combined killing in intent of the three jenin at the sight of a Target on whom to vent their rage on tuna was suddenly feeling quite sober and was shaking in the knees fortunately tazuna was saved from actual harm by the timely appearance of one haki Kakashi seeing the second target of their ey the jenin redirected the glares to their Sensei Kakashi looking quite unfazed by their toim amateur attempts at intimidation just said in mirth with his ual I smile ah so we are all here as you probably guessed this is our client to Zuna we will be escorting him to his homeland and protecting him from possibly dangers on the road I see that you have taken my advice to heart and brought the equipment I gave you yesterday the Jen and were indeed wearing the clothes that were the strange mix of black brown and gray however the cloaks were put away in the large backpacks hanging from their backs with some parts of small Scrolls containing ninja tools peeking out they also held the necessary equipment one needs in the Wilds the anoo plates could be spotted over their clothes on torso if one carefully looked however after their righteous anger at their client and Sensei wore out team seven was surprised to see their Mentor in clothes similar to theirs only difference being his dark green chunin vest and forest green pants him Naruto Sakura hide your hair with the bandanas your hair is too bright the bandanas should make them less noticeable what what why doesn't it SAS needs to hide his hair and what about you Kakashi Sensei your hair is just as bad as mine sakur looked put out while Naruto was clearly incensed Kakashi just firmly repeated his command and then said sasak doesn't need to do so because his hair of a normal color namely black as for my hair well why not although I am junan and don't really need stealth clothes to hide properly it doesn't hurt to be cautious oh well and with that Kakashi tied the bandana and motioned his students to do the same Sakura and Naruto grumbling heeded and repeated the same motion as their Sensei SAS watched all this with a smirk tuna after finally bringing himself out from stuper angrily demanded what they're just kids I paid a lot of money for my safety and I get a couple of BRS just as he was catching breath to continue his rant he was frozen by The Killing intent that was quite larger than the one before k AI seeing his students terrorizing the client and more importantly seeing Naruto's hand itching towards the canay at his pouch stepped in now now let's not be Hasty you three stop that you can't threaten the client I assure you to Zuna San that they can protect you from any danger that a c rank could possibly bring and I am also here to ensure that nothing happens to your health well nothing is a result of a weapon or poison we are not responsible if you die from a heart attack tuna see seeing that he was no longer in danger gulped and nodded fine the wave is quite far from here we should get going of course to Zuna San you heard the man get going it was noon Sunny Aid and very hot just the kind of weather to make One uiha S very irritable and the fact that he wore clothes in dark colors didn't help the matter at all although being the firm believer of a Shinobi philosophy that preached that a ninja should be able to fight capably in any kind of weather and temperature he disliked the overbearing warmth so common in the long summer of land of fire and konaha itself he himself preferred cold crisp weather not that he would tell anyone about it after all he was not so frivolous to actually talk about weather with anybody not that he was a talkative person either while he didn't exactly like silence as it reminded him of his empty ancestral home he preferred it in comparison to The NeverEnding noise that accompanied his days at the Academy in the past one thing that amazed him was that the time he spent with the rest of his teammates was much quitter than he expected it to be frankly he could find little to nothing wrong with the periods of day he spent with Team seven they trained restlessly most of the time and the mission were not such a waste of time if they were accomplished quickly even they had their purpose if nothing else d ranks showed the efficiency of a particular genen and team that much saus knew from his youth he had learned that while his Elder cousins complained to his uncles grandfathers and other others he had learned much about the Shinobi life while he was very young while his clan was still alive no don't go there any thoughts about his clan reminded him of his great loss the Betrayal of his elder brother whom he had loved as much as his parents and any thoughts of his elder brother reminded him of the night when a person slayed his clan for that was not his brother his brother was a quiet confident solemn and sometimes helpful young man not a not a cruel coldblooded murder as [ __ ] that slaughtered his whole family no his whole clan not the sick bastard who tortured him with mind illusions for hours without Mercy or reprieve that was somebody else only wearing his brother's face and form he called that person Itachi as he didn't know what else to call him but that wasn't his aniki Itachi that Itachi was already dead it was a cold blooded monster that merely had the same name as his late brother sasek grimaced but forced himself to the first other subject he could think of no use thinking about it again first thousand times had been more than enough I wonder when will Kakashi sene finally show us the Jutsu he promised he told us earlier that he would teach us it while we were on the road to wave however it's already the third day that we have traveled and he hadn't decided to Grace us with his knowledge while SAS didn't respect many people he valued the training that Kakashi put them through he finally felt that he was improving not playing children games like in the academy thus Kakashi's name was one of the few that he bothered to add any form of respect except San at the end of the name the only other being sand Dame Hokage and amino aruka whom he quite accidentally found out to be regarded as the strongest of the chunin teachers in the academy as there were two dozens or even more Shinobi working as the staff there he was mildly impressed however only uruka had the honorific sensei in his name although as as far as sake was concerned Kakashi looked like he would soon join aruka in terms of respect but probably not so soon maybe after some more time after I know him better while SAS thought about it he noticed out from the corner of his eyes a large puddle in the middle of the road a puddle that sigh in this time of the year and in this part of the country something is not right here just to make sure SAS walked over carelessly over the small pond nothing happened strange hmpf it doesn't matter anyway what sake didn't see was the cautious look that Kakashi threw at the puddle I guess they aren't after us then well better for us we still have almost 1,000 km to cover it's going to be one very long journey and with a sigh he concentrated back at his book 20 minutes later two big shapes rose out of puddle both were nigh identical tall figures garbed into strange clothes and looking like wraiths even their faces being hit hidden from view by metal masks to whom were attached respiratory devices as the muddle disappeared after they completely exited it one form turned to the other and said in a strange metallic voice guu why did you abort the attack you know as well as I do brother that if we attacked the copy ninja would have slaughtered us as soon as we appeared by letting them pass without striking he is certain that we have someone else as our Target and not the old man that's true but he will not be pleased I wouldn't be so sure after all Zabuza Sama is a Shinobi and knows the importance of the virtue of patience just as the saying says the patient hunter gets its prey well there may be some truth in that saying but Zabuza is not a patient Man true but I know that the demon of the Mist is just itching to fight a worthy opponent worthy opponent such as haki Kakashi not to mention the huge bounty on the man it will Aid him in the long run eh well that's no lie still you the one explaining the situation to him not me fine coward Mau ignored the remark and with that the two twin ninja known as the demon Brothers disappeared into the trees well Kakashi Sensei it's been 5 days since we have left konaha and 3 days since we have reminded you of your promise to teach us a new Jutsu so I would say it's hell time that you teach it to us already Kakashi SED it were a rather boring 5 days truth to be told the voyage so far had been uneventful and even a little bit of tiring there was something just tiresome about having to walk a large distance when you could usually get to your destination 20 times faster not only that but 90 km a day was a little harsh Pace not so much for him as for his students although the one having the most problems was definitely tuna who while being tough his old boots had never had been put through the often hellish training of the Shinobi Kakashi was actually satisfied with the endurance of his students Sakura being a pleasant surprise he thought that she would be the first to falter well that was not the case apparently the last s of the hakei attributed that fact to the girl's determination not to be the first to fall from exhaustion coupled with the significantly greater stamina derived from his exercises not that she hadn't fallen asleep the first couple of days of marching as soon as they made Camp it didn't matter Kakashi gladly took that few guarding shift that she was unable to perform not that he gave the same leniency to the male genins of his team they were given different shifts in guarding Duty so that they were acust stamed to keep watch in any time of the night as well as trained in being light sleepers yet another important facet of being a ninja SAS was unsurprisingly Adept at it narut not so surprisingly neither sake nor Naruto complained about sakur asleeping while they were forced to guard the camp perhaps they realized that the girl needed it if so his teamwork and team bonding preaching must have done something at least especially if the bitter Naruto and generally unfeeling sake allowed their teammate rest and were actually somewhat tolerant Kakashi himself thought that they had finally started to walk the road that would lead them to becoming better persons in Shinobi while he was reasonably satisfied with his students progress haki Kakashi the elite junan of konohagakure was bored out of his mind he must have read book from cover to cover during this relatively short trip eight times already still he had promised his students that he would teach them a new Jutsu and he valued the few promises he gave fine well this clearing is as good as any it was evening approaching nighttime the moon was already present in unusually great force and its rays were providing ample lighting for the group the group was preparing for the night on the field not too far from the road that led to the Land of Waves the field was the only clearing in the large humid Forest that they settled in nearby flowed several Creeks with a large pond stationed on the side of the clearing that was nearest to the road creeks and ponds were not an unusual sight in this part of land of fire as the jenin discovered the field itself was vaguely in a circular shape the camp was situated a dozen or so meters away from the pond the camp consisted of two large tents one made from thick forest green cloth the other from unskillfully skinned deer hide the small bone fire in front of and between the tents completed the camp finally Kakashi sene what is the Jutsu you'll teach us again with the sene thought Kakashi with a frown marring his face under the mask during his time as the Sensei of Team seven Kakashi found out that he disliked being called sene by sake it didn't bother him because of Any imagined disrespect or Disobedience after all sene was a title given to one's Superior or a mentor of sorts actually Kakashi was quite used to the term as it was the common honorific for one's officer in the ano actually many of his former subordinates from his tenure as a captain of the Anu called him that even now after several years not to mention that Kakashi knew sasak respected him moreover as far as Kakashi had found out about the young Uchiha sasak even appreciated him somewhat a rare thing or so the information about his pupil told the Aki but sas's unwillingness or unability to call him Sensei was only reminding Kakashi how truly [ __ ] up his student was and that reminded him of his other [ __ ] up student and to add the icing on the cake sakuran naturally had problems of her own as any teenage girl had after all as soon as he acknowledged the many problems any of his students had he was reminded of his other students and Kakashi became trapped in nigh depression and constant tiredness why oh why did I had to be the one to take care of these Troublesome children but for all of his moaning Kakashi knew that this was his duty and nothing could change that as for the duty itself it was not so bad as duties go in the end the probable results of his actions Justified all the possible trouble Kakashi would be going through these next several months perhaps if he was unlucky Years it'll be interesting to see how they turn out in the end bringing himself out of the contemplation he noticed his student waiting for his response and uttered well I had already thought you a Jutsu that can be used both for offense and out of battle I think a defensive Jutsu would be the next logical step so I am going to teach you a rather simple Jutsu called doden Earth wall it's AC rank you gather chakra to your hands put them on the ground and then use the chakra in your hands to pull up the soil to the desirable height and solidify it of course there are other aspects to this teque such as density and breadth of the protective barrier these are the hand seals another 5 days have passed since the first time the jennin practiced the doen Jutsu they were rapidly nearing the border between land of fire and wave or rather the channel by the name of K that separated the main continent from the many islands that formed the Land of Waves by tuna's estimation they were only two days of travel away from shuku a rather large Village tuna hailed from when the matter of crossing the con Channel came up up tazuna assured the konah Shinobi that he had some friends in kunami a small Border Town that was the only settlement the Land of Waves had on the main continent kunami was also coincidentally a major port and trading Hub it was only several hours of fast-paced walk away from the current position of the group The Jen and were Overjoyed by the news that their boring and tiing Mission would soon be over the only highlight of the whole mission was the C rank they were taught by Kakashi along with several other important facets of ninja life he instructed them about such as guarding Camp setting supplies Gathering he had also made them practice hiding on a few occasions just to get yourselves used to it once we come back you'll be learning more about Stealth and information gathering he had said with a slightly sadistic gleam in his eye team 7even didn't know whether to look forward to it or dread it one other person that looked forward to getting back home soon was tuna himself he was an old man with many ill that accompanied men his age thus he hadn't enjoyed past 10 days of non-stop walking at high Pace he would crash into his tent and sleep only minutes after setting it up on a few occasions he had even only laid down on his sleeping coat and slept without bothering to set up a tent the tempo was killing him it had taken him six days to convince his guards to reduce the daily amount of traversed road from 90 to 80 km a day and even then his entire body especially his Fe feet constantly ACH from soreness there was also another reason for the master bridge builder to want to come home quickly he knew that this Voyage was much more dangerous than he had told the konah haaker burocracy when he had requested the Shinobi Aid in form of a simple C rank escort Mission he was glad that the bandits in service of the Crim Lord gatu apparently hadn't succeeded in finding him and attacking him so far if his luck held out the next two days all will be right or at least he would be able to finish the bridge and help his country several hours later the group had arrived in kunami it had a population of several thousand City cant that answered practically to nobody and were left to themselves most of the time however it was also dependent on trade other main sources of income in kunami were fishing Pearl Gathering and Barrel crafting actually kunami was considered the world's Center for making barrels used for sailing containing cargo and other more creative uses it had at least 20 stores whose only purpose was creating barrels Nets small harpoons and other tools a fisherman could need it was in one of such more successful stores that made those goods the lucky hook that the team seven met one of tuna's Old Friends hosho a lean and gangly older man greeted tuna exuberantly when he saw him oi tuna you old bum I haven't seen you since that Voyage to se Nation 3 years ago what have you been doing all this time I heard from that tutu e gal with will that you had passed this boring water hole a few weeks ago shame on you for not visiting me is this how you repay me for bringing you those carts you wanted through Twisters sea monsters and Pirates Come On Let's have some Grog and tell me all that has been going on in your life eh Don't blame that you were blind and deaf so you didn't see me besides I was in a hurry when I was passing tell you all about it later anyway I am taking you up on your offer there is something I must tell you and a favor I need to ask you uhoh I don't like the sound of that last time I did you a favor my rump sported seven new scars and who are those little Yakuza wanes behind you and the one eye hosho was immediately assaulted by heated glares from the jenin while Kakashi only stared blankly at him coughed and then proceeded to introduce himself I am haki Kakashi junan of konah haak Kiros these are my students Haruno Sakura iiha sasak and uzum makaru oh and I wouldn't call them Yakuza wannabes if I were you it's a great insult to shobi to be compared to Yakuza after all we consider them to be only street thugs who only have the meager amount of training in martial arts and suddenly consider themselves Warriors and above other low lives such as they let me give you another advice if you don't want to be hurt please refrain from commenting on us the jenin turned in surprise to their teacher that last sentence promised real pain to the old sailor they were angry at tuna's friend as well but it seemed that their Sensei took it much more serious than they it was even more surprising when one knew Kakashi's laidback nature and his often Goofy and cheerful exterior this was only the second time that they saw their Sensei look so threatening the first time being during the true genen and exam hosho meanwhile was obviously frightened while tazuna chuckled nervously and tried to calm the eh Kakashi s don't mind him his tongue is always faster than his mouth he didn't mean to insult you right hosho and with that he HD hosho in a rib with his elbow ER yeah he no offense to you Shinobi San I merely wanted to comment on your straw I mean unusual clothing we don't see here that kind of clothes often I tell y'all the old tuna here is right I sometimes say things without thinking didn't mean to insult he I see Kakashi's face was still serious and oddly threatening then suddenly his face expression transformed into his usual Bright oneeyed Smile his eye twinkling happily okay no problem then the jenin blinked stupidly and then collectively faced Pond they along a pair of old men thought how the hell can he change moods like that well now that we have that out of our way why don't you inform your friend of the favor we need tunasan you're probably right but first let's go drinking as hosho here said oi hosho does the old smoking whales still have that good rum it served back then you can bet your wrinkly ASD does come on I'll show the way you must have forgotten where it is that with you getting scile in your old age scile who scile you ancient fart you had even managed to forget the keys of your house in a wh house on the hour Island and that was when you were 25 if first mate Ren hadn't bothered to force all of us to leave our valuable stuff in that Secret store room in the brothel wall you would have been beat in Black and Blue by that crazy hag you called your mother crazy hag any crazy hag I ever knew was that screaming when you called your wife I swear the reason why I am half-deaf isn't age it's her doing at least I had a wife you old gezer nobody wanted to marry you and I'll have you know she was quite beautiful when I met you well no wonder she turned into an old witch anyone would have having to live with you for 20 years the two old men looked like they were nowhere near stopping actually they looked like they were just warming up and preparing to seriously brawl and apparently not caring that they were still sober and in daylight Kakashi noticing that they might come to blows decided to intervene much to the disappointment of his students he Riley noticed if I may interrupt your discussion why don't we get to the tavern first eh you are right Shinobi come on all of you follow me to the Holy Temple of Rome however sakur is voice stopped them from walking she had had misgivings about it for several minutes now but had finally decided to voice her doubts to her teacher Kakashi Sensei is it really wise for us jennin to go to this tavern I don't see why not Sakura why would that be a problem Sakura stuttered and uncertainly proceeded to talk well maybe they won't allow us to enter after all we are minors and we aren't allowed to drink alcohol before Kakashi could say anything hosho loudly interrupted that won't be a problem Lassie the smoking whale allows anybody in trance you won't have any problems with the people working at the tavern there might be some trouble with the customers Rowdy Sailors are an usual sight there as are some of the nastier folk but you are ninja there's no way somebody is going to try to give you trouble besides as ninja you kill people everyone knows that that's your calling and nobody wants to be dead hell if you are old enough to kill you are surely old enough to drink in my book Sakura's face looked a little bit green at the thought of killing somebody and threw a questioning glance at her Sensei Kakashi firmly nodded and flashed her an engaging grin at least she thought he did it wasn't always easy to tell with his everpresent mask covering his face well hosho San is right besides you don't have to drink Sakura I am sure there is something else to drink there if you become thirsty now let's go unless anybody has another question Naruto and SAS shook their head heads and started following the pair of old men who were right back to their insulting and bantering Kakashi watched them as they passed him in Sakura and then motioned his female student to bring up the rear with him and solemnly brought his book out of his pocket seeing that sakuro was still nervous he proceeded to calm her don't worry Sakura you'll be fine I won't let anything to happen to my students and with an another smile he returned to his favorite book as sasak and Naruto trailed after tazuna and hosho Naruto started sporting a mischievous grin a devilish plan started forming in his mind Hey sake the darkhaired quiet and collected boy wondered if he should dignify the other boy with a response due to his boredom he decided to ignore his Instinct and answered what is it narut Naruto dangerous foxlike grin spread are you going to try to drink rum When we arrive at the tavern hmph why bother a Shinobi shouldn't drink any alcoholic beverage or take any influencing substance during mission doing so would reduce his capabilities and worsen his performance if you were a proper ninja you would know this and wouldn't ask such a stupid question naruo darkened for a moment but then a thought occurred to him and his smile remained the same as to ignore his rival's dismissal stupid question eh bastard we'll see I heard from the hok that a good Ninja can fight under any circumstance actually the old man hok ha said that it takes an excellent Shinobi to be able to shake off the consequences of alcohol and fight in top comptition he said that pretending to be drunk makes enemies underestimate you and tricks them into making mistakes they wouldn't have any other time seeing SAS looking interested Naruto laughed hellishly in his mind UI sasak was far too obsessed in looking for ways to become better not to fall for it of course Naruto didn't actually hear that piece of information from the sand Dame Hokage but the old man did tell him once that deception was among the most useful of Tricks a Shinobi had at his disposal that as well as what he remembered from various bits of various Shinobi rules and lessons made Naruto believe that his theory was not as far-fetched as it seemed besides this was a perfect opportunity to practice deception and pretending skills after all he was only behaving as a true Shinobi right if that bastard SAS fell for it and made a fool out of himself provided Naruto with hours of fun well it's all for a good and Noble cause and if by any chance his theory was true then Naruto would have learned something useful without risking potentially unpleasant consequences for his body he had heard that the morning after getting drink was very very nasty if you knew this how come you didn't try it already came a cold and challenging question from sake with a hint of Interest lurking in the tone crap thus surprised Naruto and tried to to cover his sudden nervousness SAS face was still cold and vacant light but a calculating shine could be seen in his eyes it would take somebody with higher level of intelligence than Naruto to come up with a such believable trap if it is a trap or trick at all it does sound valid enough but still just to be sure after all don't you want to be a hok I thought you would be first to test it out if it were true and thus hold an advantage over your opponents why would you tell something like that to your rival the word rival was said in a mocking tone nearly causing narut to Nash his teeth at the other boy's tone no that's what he wants I have to play this carefully if I am to fool him I am out of luck but let's see if he figures out my acting after all I have fooled many people more experienced and smarter than him you think I didn't try to bastard I tried but old man forbid me from trying it until I have become a jenet and this is the first time I have enough time and where to try it that still doesn't explain why would you tell me because I need somebody with whom to compete after all I need somebody to test me and stuff him well it seems he isn't lyi but SAS train of thoughts was interrupted by Naruto's planned and teasing remark ah don't bother I guess you are too much scared to try it what sas's voice was dangerously sharp and his expression was definitely calm no longer Hook Line and time for the Sinker thought with a vicious GLE in his eyes Naruto you heard what I said you don't have the balls to try it you just a little pretty boy who is afraid to do anything dangerous aren't you sas's face was murderous with his hand reaching for a canai it was in nut's opinion really amusing to watch sas's normally pale face become red surprisingly sas's face became ice cold and returned to his pale skin tone Naruto gulped he positively didn't like the stair sake was giving him fine eh I accept your challenge that's what you want isn't it to prove that you are my better well duh there's no need for anything more to be said but I must admit I didn't anticipate that you even had enough intelligence to have a tiny Speck of chance in a stunt like this now I know better than to think that you are just a brainless clown you are good at pretending I'll make sure to remember that and S finished his sentence with his same Superior smirk the question is are you just a clown with brain or are you something else Naruto meanwhile was thinking quickly you say that you accept my challenge do you even know what the challenge is SAS looked him with a challenging gaze it doesn't really am TT R whatever it is I agree to it Naruto's face carefully guarded until then returned to its mischievous happiness that is as long as it is connected to that guess of yours Sask said just to make sure not to give Naruto a chance for stupid wire ideas fine each one of us will drink four cups of the same kind of drink and then we fight what are the rules no killing and no hacking off arms legs and other similar stuff I consent to these terms anyway I think we should inform Kakashi Sensei of this when we get to the tavern who's afraid now scaredy cat said SAS with a taunting tone narut glared at him and responded angrily hmpf it's nothing to do with fear it has to do with being cautious a ninja thing not that you know anything about that says the dead last who doesn't even know which are the basic ninja tools for you information SAS bastard I do know about the canai shuriken wire and so on I know everything that matters about being Ninja really could have fooled me with that eyesore orange jumpsuit you wore hey you're good for practicing stealth besides orange is such a cool color it made me look really bad at oi bastard don't laugh it's not funny I said don't laugh SAS and while only the closest passer by is in that busy street filled with cheerful and noisy people enjoying the beautiful evening full of colorful lights begning to glow and The Sound of Music emerging from the open taverns could hear the Frantic chuckling of a raven-haired boy and upset talking of a blonde boy beside him one of the few people to hear that noise was haki Kakashi who smiled at the sound of joy that he thought his student had forgotten gotten how to make a tall and fearsome man was leaning on a huge and deadly Zan bat in front of a large lake most of his face hidden under white and clean linen bandages the brilliant Setting Sun was casting a mysterious and beautiful atmosphere lights from the last Sunray of the day reflecting on the surface of the large lake in nearby ponds The Man didn't bother to turn as he sensed the chakra signatures and somewhat distinctive metallic footsteps of two of his subordinates he also sensed the chakra signature of his Apprentice but he heard no sound of his footsteps he had trained him better than that the figure spoke to them without turning guu Mau hku you know everything that you should you are aware of what each of you is to do in case of unforeseen situations am I correct yes Zabuza Sama they murmured haku's quiet voice blending in with the two similar sharp tones of his companions good then let us go and prepare the battlefield the copy ninja and his BRS are going to have a surprise of their life cold Chuckles could be heard echoing through the humid Forest surrounding the lake a vicious grin could be seen beneath his bandages as Mimi Zabuza turned to watch the Shinobi sworn to him with his crazed eyes unleashing wild killing intent literally 3 days have passed since team seven had left kunami the port town where they had met tuna's friend hoso and one day since hosho had took them with his small ship over the con Channel and into the wave archipelago after they have disembarked on the wave soil and parted with the gangly man the konaha Shinobi and the master bridge builder continued onto the shuuyu tuna's home Village it was a misty morning as the group impatiently trudged along the dirt road ponds of various sizes and an occasional small Lake noticeable among the sparse Woodland on the both sides of the road they were only a couple of hours of walking away from their destination and everyone of them was looking forward to finally finishing the tiresome Journey you just had to have a drinking competition in that Tavern didn't you Naruto if you hadn't gone and gotten drunk and made a mess we would have already arrived asked an annoyed Sakura as she stomped along the path trying to refrain from hitting her moronic teammate a snort and an angry retort answered her I had gotten drunk are you blind or just that good at lying to yourself if I remember right which I do it was SAS who had gotten drunk and later proceeded to make a mess with throwing up all over the place and getting sick shut up a growl followed Naruto's claim this was one coming from sake what it's the truth how am I to blame if you can't hold your drink it wasn't me who had created a slime Paradise out of the common room defended a mocking Naruto that's enough Naruto you're partially guilty after all it was you had originally thought of the idea and you had insisted that each of you drink four cups of sake what were you exactly expecting to happen asked Kakashi in a dead pan voice not to mention whose fault was everything that followed your little drinking contest concluded Kakashi irritated at the memory flashback there that's the fourth one okay SAS let's get this thing rolling said a determined and sober Naruto as he finished gulping down the fourth cup of sake however he silently promised himself that he won't taste it ever again it was bitter strong and tasted horribly not to mention that it smelled as bad is an abandoned public privy albeit in a different manner as for SAS a drunk sake was trying to stand up although not much successfully hiccups could be heard as he valiantly tried to drink his last cup e wait a hicm moment I Hicks still have one L left slur Saw s as he visibly tried to steady himself huh well then what are you waiting for I'll admit that it's awful but that's no excuse for trying to cheat ask the the impatient Naruto I am not trying to CCC hick cheet I am an Uchiha iias don't need to hick Che to win SAS replied in drunken Fury which was replaced a moment later with a fierce Pride apparent in his words that's all fine and dandy but how about proving it eh Naruto scoffed hotly and challenged the other boy fine shouted sake and with that he drank hurriedly the remainder of his last cup and pushed himself off his seat let's go Naruto dared SAS his teammate a second later with a taunting smirk spreading on his face his only answer was Naruto starting to smile viciously the two of them completely lost to the outside world and focused solely on one another missed the expressions of horror on soccer and resigned dismay on Kakashi's hosho and tuna's faces Kakashi hadn't known that his students were planning on actually fighting he had let them have their drinking contest thinking that they merely wanted to prove the M better than the other by seeing who could drink the most and he knew better than to deny them that contest as undoubtedly they would have done it anyway when he wasn't on his guard or they would have done something different and that something would have probably been even worse after all many young men had the same foolish idea of competing in outrageous sometimes crazy and for onlookers often very amusing games when they were in their teen years like Naruto and sake were actually if he was truthful to himself he himself had once participated in such a contest when he was younger trying to outdone Obito and drinking a special brand of sake by the name of fire breath well obido had nagged him and mocked him for several days before he agreed but that still didn't change the fact that he had tried to use the chance to try and show up obido yet again it had been a unique occasion for his team to see him drinking as the ninja code frowned severely on those consuming substances with such effects like alcohol it had possibly been the first time that he had had disregarded the ninja code so callously and the last time he did such a thing as the consequences of drinking entirely too much alcohol were very up Pleasant the day after he had thereafter focused on behaving like a true Shinobi with even greater fervor at least that was so until obido had sacrificed himself for Kakashi there Kakashi become also lost to the outside world as his reminiscences overpowered him meanwhile the other visitors of the large and busy Tavern unruly Sailors Smugglers towns people Travelers and other customers watched in curiosity and incredulity as the two young ninja who had earlier than evening beaten up the few Ruffians who had tried to give them problems when they and their companions had first entered the smoking whale faced off in the biggest empty space The Tavern had to offer Naruto and SAS began circling around one another and suddenly lunged at one another or more truthfully Naruto lunged and SAS stumbled after his fail lunge the result was a SAS missing Nar by a meter and Nar colliding harshly with SAS and surprised with sake's State falling with him to the wooden floor an irritated Naruto snarled as he prepared to hit sake but a sight of sake lying almost unmoving and quite Green in his face stopped him and alarmed him hey bastard what's wrong after receiving no answer Naruto began to panic oi sake answer me what's happening are you all right hey say something I didn't hit you so hard SAS answer me Sakura watched on in fearful shock and the entire Tavern was silent as they watched the two boys on the floor of the smoking whale Naruto's frantic yells as he knelt by sas's side and the sudden silence and the noisy in startled Kakashi out of his memories and he appeared by narut in an eye blink what happened Naruto asked Kakashi in his rarely serious sharp voice I don't know he was fine one moment but then he stumbled and th Kakashi Sensei why are you started to ask Naruto as he saw his teacher hurriedly backing away immediately his question was answered by a Green Wave of puke flooding his senses after several moments of overwhelming revulsion holding his senses captive the cheerful voice of his Sensei brought him back to reality the wonderful Sensations that you are experiencing right now might be the answer to your question as as soon as Naruto registered that in another wave of vomit this one a mix of yellow and green filled his vision yet again the sounds accompanying it were the wines and sounds of disgust produced by onlookers slowly Naruto turned his eyes towards a rapidly breathing SAS who after puking several more times all over the surrounding floor concentrated on refilling his lungs with air his face now resembling more his usual pale color and not sickly green of before Naruto narrowed his eyes that much that his face truly resembled that of a fox sake Naruto's voice was oddly blank no emotions apparent in his voice only his narrow eyes revealing his anger however his expression was immediately exchanged with that of an insane Berserker I am [ __ ] going to tear you limb from limb Naruto roared as he threw sake as hard as he could into the tables of nearby Spectators and charged after him all the while howling in frenzied Fury and anger his mind focusing only on beating the God out of sake as was the case in Infamous and crowded taverns such as smoking whale no great reason was ever needed for the short-tempered sailors and various drunkards to start an all-out brawl in SAS smashing the table with his dead weight and spilling the drinks of several rather nasty Cutthroats was more than enough excuse to start a miniature war in its own right haki Kakashi side as he prepared to stop his students from getting killed or in a much more likely case to stop his two male students from killing anyone else including each other not to mention that it would be probably him who would have to pay most of the damage to the property just wait until I get my hands on you you Troublesome BRS you are going to regret ever being born were the rather bloodthirsty thoughts on the mind of the usually laid-back junan huh what happened asked loudly the rather confused Naruto as he suddenly woke up in a simple and not very clean bed he was in his custom AR sleeping clothes a white shirt and orange shorts in a bed next to him a heavily bruised SAS was suddenly waken up by the noise they were alone in a small room with a large window immediately SAS groaned and covered his ears quiet Naruto my head's killing me as soon as he fully opened his eyes he instantly shut them again what the why is it so bright asked SAS as he grimaced in pain I have no idea what are you talking about it's same as ever Naruto furrowed his brow better ask what the hell is that smell shut up you too loud my head is going to split open if you continue to Rave like that said the irritated sake wait a second I remember you puked on me jerk snarled Naruto as he started to rise from his bed although without much success what are you talking about SAS asked as propped himself at the end of the bed trying to have as good defensive postition as possible Naruto's body language suggesting an imminent attack yes you did twice shouted narut as he finally managed to stand up his voice and movements were however cut off by a Steely and malicious voice well well what do we have here two little Brawlers up to no good yet again their Jun and Sensei had just entered in their room his everpresent book nowhere to be seen nor was his often jovial expression present either a strange light shining in his one visible eye eh what are you talking about Sensei asked the perplexed Naruto you to had single-handedly started a riot last night not only that but you have caused the most damage out of everyone who participated do you have any idea how much money did I have to pay to the owner because of damage to the in well you are about to find out as we are going to have a nice long chat about the proper conduct of Shinobi during missions sake and Naruto saw a Sinister smile forming beneath the sensei's face mask strange gleam in his one eye becoming even more pronounced and let me tell you one thing I am going to enjoy this finished his Proclamation with cruel Chuckles as he began creating Jen Jutsu all over his students the two genen engulfed soon their screams could be heard by the customers in main room of the tavern downstairs Sakura tazuna and hosho only winced sympathetically they didn't want to be in the skin of the two boys not when being punished by a vengeful kak end of flashback he he never mind Sensei no need to bring that up again we learned our lesson chuckled Naruto nervously he still had nightmares of his precious bowls of ramen being spilled one after another as he was forced to watch he had known that it was simply a genjutsu an illusion affecting his mind but it hadn't made it any less painful to Bear witness to although the conversation that followed was far more serious upsetting and humbling than any images that could Sensei could have possibly created he had never been more ashamed in his life the consequences that could have sprung out because of his fooling around were terrible to even think about even more so is the Dreadful certainty that if this had been a mission of higher rank he and his teammates would have been dead or worse because of the stupid rivalry between him and couldn't afford to waste yourself with alcohol in order to win a [ __ ] fight if there was a battle to death awaiting you after the said wasting ninja couldn't allow themselves to behave like he and had not if they wanted to live and not die on their first Dangerous Mission however there was one beneficial piece of knowledge Naruto had gained from this other than the absolute knowledge never to go drinking on a mission he was apparently immune to effects of the alcohol he had found this out after Kakashi had answered sake's question about why he experienced such pain and disorient on the night after their little fun SAS had even poisoned himself by drinking so much sake he had also ad admitted that he didn't remember anything of what had happened yesterday his last memory being of entering the smoking whale Kakashi had then proceeded on telling them the full effects and consequences of drinking alcohol after sake had left the room in search of a bathroom Naruto had told Kakashi of his apparent immunity to sake and the junan had only replied to consider himself one of the rarely blessed and gave him a significant look it was all narut needed to know beyond a shadow of doubt that he had his guest to thank for the blessing well that's good to know I guess Kakashi said lazily as he refocused on his book ER Sensei would you mind giving me some tips on that Earth Jutsu you taught us when we arrive at tazuna San's home asked Sakura uncertainly why of course Sakura I'll be happy to as the matter of fact I can Kakashi interrupted his jovial speech and his voice suddenly matched the coldness of harshest winter show yourselves whoever you are only Only The Echoes of huning laughter was his answer that's all for now if you enjoyed then please like share and do comments
