What If Naruto Drops His Mask Infront Of Konoha 12 || Part-1 ||

hey guys how are you all welcome back to my Channel today we will see what if Naruto drops his mask in front of konah 12 if you enjoy then please like share and do comments Kakashi jumped from tree to tree praying that he wouldn't be too late the weird black clouds worried him a lot like the strange energy that he had felt earlier he just hoped that his students hadn't went overboard and used any lethal attacks not that Naruto would unless in a last case scenario but the copy n times wasn't so sure about sake upon reaching the valley of the end Kakashi realized that there was in fact a god somewhere out there as soon as he dropped next to the two unconscious boys the rain stopped he surveyed his surroundings noting that the valley looked like a battlefield a recently used one at that there were large holes in the cliffs water everywhere and it didn't seem it was there just because of the rain he looked at the boys once again sas's cursed Mark was slightly pulsating indicating that it had been used soon other than that his clothes we torn up and he had cuts and bruises all over his body and a single scratch right across his forehead although his students weren't in any condition to be happy about he smiled slightly under his mask that Naruto that day on the rooftop he hadn't arrived luckily on time in fact he had watched the whole fight up to the point when his male students had decided to use deadly attacks against each other with soccer trying to stop them coming in between he had heard the whole conversation before and during the fight Kakashi couldn't really blame Sakura for what she had done he knew although she tried to hide it that she felt like a nuisance to the team and that she was not going to let them die on her watch however two days ago she had become the hokages of prantis and from what he had heard she was showing a long hidden talent he was really proud of her although he had no reason to be he had nothing to do with her current success he knew that being a medical ninja would be best for her due to her perfect chakra control and already good first aid knowledge and the alternative being a genjutsu user didn't look too bad either he was sorry that he had focused so much on SAS and Naruto and not on her even when he had his reasons and her natural physical strength was something to be reckoned with too at times he had felt sorry for Naruto speaking of whom at First Sight was in more serious condition than sake he had a hole in his shirt where he was probably pierced with the Chidori however Kakashi then noted that he didn't have any Cuts or brues like sake and there wasn't a single mark on the shoulder where his clothes had torn the junan figured out that Naruto had used the Ninetales help for the fight which led him to believe that sake had somehow strengthened the Mark's effects after all from the times he had seen him with using the power he knew that the seal wouldn't help him much against Naruto who used a demon the copy n was sure of it without further Ado he lifted both of the boys on his shoulders sasak on the right Naruto on the left and headed to konaha meeting with a medical team along the way the medic NS went with Kakashi at the hospital where Sakura was waiting she had a serious face on but once she looked at her teammates her features softened he heard her whisper to them welcome home as she went to do her duties he might have seen her eyes watering but he wasn't going to make a problem out of it somewhere in the back of his mind just before he passed out due to the power created by the Collision of the Chidori and the renon sasak thought that he was going to wake up greeted by a big headache surprisingly he didn't he woke up feeling fine albe it a bit dizzy Morphin soon after the effects of the drug started to subside and SAS was once again able to think clearly he looked around himself and found out that he was once again in the konaha hospital a place with which he had became too familiar with lately he started replaying his memories from the past few months the tunin exams his fights with Naruto Kakashi's words orochimaru's subordinates words the first and only time he met Orochimaru in the power of the newly second stage cursed Mark and SAS realized how messed up his life had become and how he wasn't exactly making it better there was more than one reason why he had left or tried to yes Revenge had played a big role but there were other things there was Naruto's growth and strength he had managed to beat gar Kea Nei beat that ninja from the Rain Country ooi the water guys that hadn't been bothering them since the chunin exam he managed to beat SAS himself there was the look of admiration in soccer's eyes the day he told her that Naruto had been the one who saved them from the sand a look which for some reason made him feels slightly annoyed then there were of course Itachi's words towards him he was not interested in fighting him he still thought that his little brother was weak and he was after sas's friend sasak assumed that Naruto's strength came from the mysterious red chakra but he knew it was more than that although he hadn't seen Naruto's fights during the tunin exam he had heard about them from his team enough to know what it was that made narut so strong it was Naruto's determination to prove something to keba he had proved that he was not the Academy's clown anymore the boy that couldn't even do a henge properly to Nei he had proved that hard work can beat a genius that he was not a drop out but to Gar oo and the others it was another thing he wanted to protect them sake and Sakura his teammates his friends SAS himself had managed to fight the pain from his cursed Mark during the match between Naruto and gar the same pain that made him collapse during the second exam as much as he'd wished to deny it he thought she had been right there wasn't a lot of hatred in his heart in fact ever since he had joined team seven the already present hatred had taken a backseat in his life between the missions and quarrels and annoyances the tunin exams and Bone chilling enemies SAS had started to care for his team it was something he had thought would never happen after all Sakura was still a weak and rather annoying fan girl right and Naruto was the loud Mount Village Idiot nay wrong Somewhere over the course of the last few months they had become his Trust comrades friends even if he ever had ones Sakura had stopped being so shallow and had let her natural intelligence shine through as for narut he had proven himself as a reliable fighter and trustworthy partner in a fight so was going to Oro chimaru worth losing them SAS was not in fact doubting the importance of avenging his family he was merely reconsidering his methods the sonim was a reliable source of power he did after all have a personal interest in seeing sake grow to the best of his abilities but then again wasn't Kakashi the one who had taught him his strongest technique who had trusted him enough to use it for good those who abandoned their mission are trash but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash the jennin didn't know how much time he sat on the bed completely still looking at the wall opposite himself and just thinking however much it was he was interrupted when the door opened it was Sakura she smiled smiled brightly and a little forcefully at the boy closed the door and walked to the bed SAS had expected her to start crying to beg him for a chance but she didn't she just hugged him it wasn't the desperate hug she had given him when he had first woken up in the hospital after he had met Itachi nor was it the fan girl clinging she sometimes did it was a warm nice hug a friendly hug a little bit tense like her smile but a friendly one nevertheless another realization HIIT him Sakura didn't trust him and how could she when he was the one who left her on that stupid bench after muttering something suspiciously close to thanks but I'd rather not before SAS could react the hug was over and she asked him still smiling how are you I'm okay he replied in an instant though the look in her eyes told him that the answer was not in fact the correct one but since when was there a correct one yeah sure you are she said raising a skeptical eyebrow two broken ribs a few pulled muscles numerous cuts and bruises as good as new oh well when she put it that way wait since when was Saker a sassy SAS blinked thinking it was due to the fact that he was not her favorite person at the moment and decided to reply in his usual cool voice and how would you know that I'm helping around it's part of my training to become a medic n under sunade Sama she said completely serious the answer left him surprised and he didn't bother to hide it surprised and maybe slightly disbelieving she noticed and laughed at his expression yeah yeah I know but it requires good chakra control and I'm improving quite rapidly it's been almost two weeks and sunade Sama already lets me heal cuts I can also provide first aid she said proudly SAS nodded hn after all he was Sasha and he was not good at communication so he made other people adapt themselves to having one-sided convers ations she rolled her eyes at his usual Behavior but grinned slightly oh by the way she added in an all too cheery tone in case you are worried about your safety don't be there is an uo guard in your door he cocked an eyebrow and why would I be well let's just say there are quite a few people out there that aren't exactly happy about the fact that you back especially when Naruto and Kakashi have been pleading for all of your crimes to be lifted surprisingly committing treason and nearly killing Kona his newly beloved blonde idiot can have some people pretty intent on beating you up SAS shook his head slightly in Amusement just before he could reply though the door burst open and Naruto entered andu yelling behind him he just smiled and closed the door SAS thought that he saw Kakashi's gray hair but wasn't sure the blonde boy turned towards the bed where his teammates were looking questioningly at him but he Shrugged the matter off putting his hands behind his neck in the US ual laid-back position and glaring at the uiha T you look nice Sask narrowed his eyes at him but said nothing still don't think you can go wander around on your own there is an Eno guarding you 24/7 if this Eno can't even stop an idiot like you from entering then I think that me wandering around would be much safer thank you Naruto dropped his glare after a couple of moments and started chuckling Sakura followed after him and SAS for some reason was on the verge of laughing himself things weren't supposed to be this easy right not when he had betrayed them nearly killed narut and humiliated Sakura they were not supposed to be laughing like this together as if nothing had happened it made everything all the more amusing though again when exactly had his life become so messed up did that's because narut managed to say between laughing he was almost rolling on the floor now that's B because I am the best ninja ever hn SAS replied but continued smirking which looked suspiciously like smiling Sakura was too busy giggling like mad to notice after a minute or so Naruto and Sakura both straightened up and informed sasak of what had happened to the other people on his retrieval Mission some of them had had tougher fights than others but ultimately they were all recovering just fine he still wasn't sure whether it was a good thing that he was back or not but decided to appreciate the fact that they had basically put their lives on the line for him in fact sasek actually thought that what he was feeling was suspiciously close to guilt and a small voice in his head that hadn't been completely corrupted by thoughts of Revenge whispered that it was and that he should be proud to be feeling this way because there was still hope for himself Naruto and Sakura both caught his Sly smile and smiled wider in return and what have the sound for the black-haired boy asked sound five Naruto corrected him there was another member who arrived later I fought him for bit then bushy eyebrows took him and it turned out gar also helped Choi took on the fat one Nei the creepy guy with a lot of arms kba the guy with two heads and Shikamaru the girl that wouldn't stop cussing hn the UA replied yet again secretly though he was impressed suddenly Sakura smacked her forehead eyes wide as if she had just remembered something and turned to the Uchiha SAS take your shirt off I was supposed to have a look at you but we got distracted you've been out for about a week and the last time your bandages were changed was yesterday SAS complied and looked at the bandages covering his chest Sakura quickly stripped them off and examined his ribs then the cuts and bruises he took note both of how methodically she proceeded only healing one of the bigger cuts and carefully checking the others he then concluded that Sakura definitely had potential which to be honest wasn't all that surprising after all her excellent chakra control and observation skills had made themselves clear in the very beginning of the team she finished applied new bandages and he pulled his shirt back on he was about to mutter a thanks when the godam Hokage who was probably the last person that wanted to see him at the moment walked in she didn't bother with the usual greetings and other formalities and went straight on the offense Uchiha sake you willingly left the village with orochimaru's men fully aware the consequences of your actions she started looking at him sternly yes it was not a question but hell he thought it needed confirmation anyway sunade nodded as if expecting the reply then continued you also knew that the official punishment for treason is handling you like any other missing men regardless of background you were also aware that said punishment is death yes I was fully aware tense silence filled the room Sakura and Naruto had on instant stepped between him and Tsunade the godam hok looked at the three jenin with a glare that had sent other people of their very rank running for their lives Naruto held her gaze but there was a bead of sweat on his forehead and Sakura gulped slightly but didn't falter either sunade continued staring at them but then noticed something flickering in sake's eyes it was only for a moment but she could swear never mind she thought it just made her dision easier very well then she stated dropping her glare fortunately for you since the village is still recovering from The Invasion on the tunin exams I did not have enough time to declare you officially a missing n therefore I have no legal standing to treat you as such that is the law I cannot lift crimes that have never been stated officially Naruto smiled and Sakura couldn't hide her happiness either SAS however knew not to push it and didn't change his expression she was letting him off the hook but why was there anything more plus he was still going to receive some kind of punishment he just knew it however ah there it was I cannot leave you wandering around unattended seeing as you have to prove your loyalty I will have two Jan stationed at your house for the next 3 months or if I deem needed more should you try to betray this Village again you will be declared missing nin and will face the consequences meanwhile you will be put under a test period during which you will have the opportunity to prove your loyalty is that understood he nodded calmly accepting the situation yes thank you hok Sama sunade smirked it was the first time he had ever called her that also he still didn't know what said test period involved it was an idea that had occurred to her the week before the night when he and Naruto were brought back by Kakashi things were going to get interesting Sakura what is his condition sunade asked her a prantis his cuts and bruises are mostly healed but I had to close one of them that had opened the girl replied putting a smile on her teacher's face she really did have talent then Uchiha you may leave the hospital but I want you all in the hok mansion in 2 hours got it hi they all confirmed and sake and Sakura stood from the bed the two of them briefly contemplated asking but figured that if sunade wanted them to know why she would have told them Naruto for his part was too excited to care so you want us all to be a team Nar so questioned after sunade had finished her speech the boy looked kind of confused which might have been amusing had sunade not just finished a 30-minute lecture on why she thought that team seven Team 8 team 10 and team guy would make a good battle unit at least he was able to comprehended she thought a bit ticked off still fitting all of her reasons in 30 minutes had taken a lot of speech planning on her side she had explained that she knew that the rookie nine were all nominated for the tunin exam and they had all passed the first and second exam same went for teen guy their fights in the exam had been pretty though from what she had heard but nevertheless the ones that had passed had done brilliantly then there were their fights during the third exam matches then there were their talents hyug Nei was his Clan's genius but from what she had heard from kurai hanata was starting to improve tenton was a weapons Master something uncommon for those times Lee was a Tai Jutsu Master which also wasn't that common the the Eno shikao formation had been established by team 10's great ancestors and their children had their abilities Eno was good with mind techniques Shikamaru with Shadow ones also had the intellect of Nara clansmen and Choi with body extension the original Enos shika Cho formation had always been exceptionally strong but Tsunade thought that the new one would prove to be even stronger team8 were good in tracking Shino with his insects hanata with by kugan and kba with akamaru they could all use their abilities pretty well if team guy was the oddest one team 10 the one with the best teamwork in team eight the one good at tracking then team seven was the golden Trio Sakura despite not being from a clan was really smart sometimes rivaling the Naro Prodigy as much as one can of course she was good at chra control and genjutsu and was going to become an exceptional medic sunade was sure of it also her natural strength was something to be reckoned with sasak was from the uch clan the once most noble clan in konaha and had natural Talent strength speed and of course the Sharingan now he had the Chidori and training with Kakashi was starting to pay off although he had the cursed Mark which was proven to be unstable at times it was possible to learn to control it even without orochimaru's help it could be of great use and then there was Naruto Sun was sure that there were things that jenon in the room and Shikamaru possibly you could never be too sure with anara didn't know about the red chakra which he had used in his match against Nei and apparently against sake the week before about all the pain and sadness that his past head but there were things that even Naruto himself didn't know he didn't know why he was able to master the renon why he had more stamina and chakra than most Shinobi why he had managed to read a scroll that only junan could read in master a technique from it in less than a night then use it the cage bunch and Ninjutsu he didn't fully realize what influence in a good way he had on the people he met how he changed their lives heck he even managed to get Zabuza one of the seven Swordsmen of the Mist to cry and confess his deep care for his partner and friend hku a man that was rumored to be a demon one who killed 100 people in one night he had even managed to change tsunade's own mind which not many if any could say to have done he had also convinced sabaku noara after fighting him and winning that he had a wrong perspective that had w konaha a valuable Ally he probably didn't know that he had a bridge named after him the great Naruto Bridge finished after team s's mission in Wave Country he didn't know yet and how did sunade know well the Hokage had her ways one of the things he also didn't know was why he of all people had the nine Tales inside of him why his parents had died but soon enough he would know and when he realized all of these things he would know that he was worthy of being a hok a thing which sunade herself believed of course he still had a lot to learn yes Naruto a team she replied then turned to the rest what do you think the Shinobi exchanged glances they all thought about what Tsunade had said and although they had some issues in their relationships with each other they all came to the same conclusion they could make it work so when Naruto replied for all of them no one said a word we'll do it sunade smiled pleased with the young Shinobi's determination good I appoint this as your meeting room you all have to gather here at least once a week every Friday and report about missions training and such now I will give you your first mission isn't it a bit too early for that kind of thing Shikamaru interrupted after all we have to first clear our relationships from any issues he looked at Naruto who always managed to get in a fight with one of the others except hanata but there was a pretty obvious reason for that although he was a good person and loyal friend his childish attitude was sometimes too Troublesome to handle that's exactly what this task is about the hok replied getting odd looks it's to help you to become closer so without further Ado the first mission of the kah 12 will be she paused to have a sleepover what both the boys and girls yelled some demanding an explanation the majority confused with the exceptions of Nei Sho and sake because for some people image was everything listen to become closer as a team you need to get to know each other the fastest way is to spend time together and a sleepover opens up a lot of opportunities even so how should we do that tenton asked a puzzled look on her face where do we sleep you can sleep at my place SAS replied nonchalantly surprising everyone he was isn't stupid he knew what he was getting himself into but he owed the hok and the others for that matter that much just be careful not to break anything don't worry teh we won't Doby having you in there is precisely the reason I'm worried why you enough sunade interrupted the growling narut now go all of you pack your stuff and have a nice time and remember this mission is for you to get closer so play games talk share or whatever the hell kids do these days but clear any issues you might have understood hi and with that the newly formed team left to prepare themselves for what they all knew would be a long night they all met 30 minutes later in front of the Uchi compound Naruto being the last to arrive he apologized saying that he had had work to do at home but Sakura still smacked him lightly more out of habit and maybe a bit of playfulness than with an intention to hurt him while SAS watched his two teammates interact he noted soccer has changed Behavior towards narut and stared wondering when had they both changed so much especially Sakura somewhere in the back of his mind he thought that maybe there had been some use in leaving for Oro chimaru if it resulted in her growing up some more although her lack of trust in him was worrying he had to admit SAS led the way through the huge compound after the massacre he was offered a place to stay in konaha and so he hadn't stepped in his old home in years however they were currently walking towards not the grand du chiha Mansion but to another house on the edge of the compound as the sole survivor of the clan everything was presumably his but he did not want to go into his old home not yet at least he was told that everything was clean but he did not want to reminisce that night again he had chosen for them to stay in a mansion that was big enough but had not been inhabited at the time of the massacre meaning that it was not Blood Stained throughout the whole walk everyone had grown silent and he could feel two steady pairs of eyes on his back he didn't have to turn around to know who it was when sake had first visited the mansion that afternoon it had been of course quite run down luckily for him he didn't have to clean the whole building by himself as Kakashi decided to pitch in and had even got the two other Jan who were assigned to supervise sake to lend a hand it was by no means in an ideal condition but it was habitual enough needless to say the two Jan were currently outside getting ready for a long night the 12 Shinobi inside decided to eat dinner first since it was nearly 7:00 then start the party as Eno had put it after that Naruto luckily didn't complain about the lack of ramen and accepted a slice of the three large pizzas kba had brought Choi had got himself enough food for an entire Army and even shared the desserts with the others they ate mostly in silence except when Naruto accidentally pushed kba's plate who then punched him they fought a little before sake Nei and Lee restrained them after the small commotion everybody continued eating tenton Eno and Sakura shook their heads at the boys briefly exasperated but said nothing when they were finished and the dishes were cleaned Hinata and tenton had volunteered to do them while Choi and SAS threw the garbage outside they started brainstorming on what to do Eno clapped signaling that she had an idea of which Shikamaru and Choi were rightfully suspicious let's play Truth or Dare or never have I ever she suggested in a chirp voice these games are the funniest and quickest way to find more about each other also the most humiliating Shikamaru muttered what would you prefer 20 Questions Shikamaru shuddered and Eno smirked triumphantly okay letun play but which one tenton asked sitting in the circle the 12 had formed on the floor I don't know let's vote who wants to play Truth or Dare youo IBA Lee Naruto and hanata raised their hands and who wants to play Never Have I Ever the other seven hands flew up in the air deciding the issue okay so the rules are that someone says something that they have never done if someone else has done it they should raise their hand normally this is a drinking game because the more you drink the less possible it is for you to cheat you cheat when you lie that you have never done anything or when you don't raise your hand fortunately since we are Shinobi we are Tech Ally of legal drinking age unfortunately if our Sensei found us drinking things will probably get bad so not a word of this to anyone okay also I couldn't bring that a much so we're only going to have to drink only half a can per round Eno explained as she pulled out a plastic bag full of cans from her sack then she proceeded to convince the more reluctant members of the group AKA Nei to take part finally he sighed saying that it was stupid but agreeing to participate never less Eno showed them the beverage for the night really Eno chuai shut up keba now who wants to be first I do I do Naruto you don't have to scream like that sorry Sakura Chan they all sat in the circle and the game began Naruto grinned eily as he thought of the perfect thing never have I ever he paused for dramatic effect had a crush on SAS at this point all the girls in the room except hanata raised their hands for some reason Nei didn't like the fact that tenton was one of those who raised their hands she had never shown any sign of affection towards the UA unlike Sakura who was blushing and Eno who was glaring at Naruto maybe she had just thought of him as cute he mused a bit displeased with the conclusion Sakura Eno and tenton each drank half a can next to Naruto was hanada who looked around trying to think of something then she got it never have I ever gone on a mission Outside the Fire country at that point the whole team seven raised their hands the others looked at them with questioning looks and they told them about their mission in the Wave Country about Zabuza and Haku about gatu and the villagers they told them about how Sakura managed to master climbing trees with only her feet at first attempt she smiled proudly and how SAS and Naruto had to practice a whole week in order to do it they talked and sasak and narut got into a fight about who had been better at that Sakura rolled her eyes at them and got them both cans after finishing hers the others noticed the change in the teammate's behavior Sakura didn't seem like a SAS fan girl anymore she didn't praise him and call out randomly how awesome he was like she had used to and although that they were fighting sake and Naruto had slight smirks on their faces a sign that they were actually enjoying teasing each other the other teams watched and decided that sas's leaving was what had changed their relationship eventually the story finished the two boys stopped fighting and the game continued teen guy told the brief story of the one time they had gone all around the Nations around the fire country to search for the third's favorite brand of tobacco Nei and tenton drank their deal but since Lee couldn't drink if they wanted to survive the night he got a point written down on a napkin provided by Shino Lee swore to Never Lie during the game though the others never doubted that he would never have I ever hugged my crush it was Eno's turn then Sakura raised her hand and popped open another can surprisingly tenton also shot up her hand raising a few eyebrows she just smirked and said that it was another story for another day also opening a new can Sakura muttered annoyed at the unfairness of the situation since she had to spill next was Nei never have I ever kept an important secret to myself he said looking at one person in particular the room suddenly became extremely silent then slowly Shikamaru grabbed a can and drank half of it while narut finished his face unusually Grim Naro [ __ ] Shikamaru Kun you don't have to tell us I if you're not comfortable sh sharing hanata looked around and everyone nodded although Nei had hoped to finally learn what the mysterious red chakra was he decided not to push it and instead show support actually Shikamaru started slowly Naruto can we talk in private for a moment the blonde nodded and the two boys left the room 10 minutes later they were back with Naruto deep in thought it was choji's turn he seemed to be contemplating something for a moment but then he looked up from his lap a determined look in his eyes never have I ever tried to change myself for somebody else Eno Sakura and surprisingly sake raised their hands and took a big gulp not saying a word Eno didn't need to they had all heard her motto guys like slim girls which indicated that she wasn't as confident in looks as she would like to be Sakura the one who had at some point taken after her also didn't need to explain sasak though came as a surprise taking in the fact that the uchiha's Alo demeanor didn't normally scream insecure and nobody in the room could see why he would be after a minute of stunned silence he sighed and quickly muttered something about Itachi and his father comparing one to the other the rest of the group understood and did not question further next was tenton who cleared her throat a somewhat devious smirk on her face never have I ever fallen for someone completely oblivious hanata reluctantly raised her hand blushing everyone knew who that someone was except Naruto but seeing Hinata's blush he decided that he shouldn't pester her the hyuga girls silently took a sip however one more person raised their hand everyone's Jaws dropped sheo kba stuttered out the normally cool abam got his can drank half of it then suddenly L got flustered you see he fidgeted which only caused more eyes to Twitch a yam San never really noticed me you like the Yum n narut managed to utter before falling dramatically to the ground and passing out hell was freezing over they were all convinced anyway Shino started fixing his glasses on the bridge of his nose while regaining composure it's a thing of the past now who's next everyone decided to just shake off the thought for the moment and resume the game Sakura shook Naruto up and he grunted before sitting up in the circle then it was sas's turn he smirked knowing exactly what to say never have I ever hugged one of my teammates Naruto shooted him a glare while Sakura just took two cans blushing the way things were going she was about to lose she was already feeling dizzy and trying her best to keep a stupid smile off her face she had to think of something and fast meanwhile Naruto was grudgingly taking a swig and Eno had gotten a can for everyone in her team they had been childhood friends after all keba handed hanata one and drank himself while tendon casually finished her can and Lee rode down another point for himself it was shino's turn never have I ever fallen for somebody in this room everything was still for a moment then collectively everybody else besides SAS Choi and Shino took a drink the room was silent since nobody really wanted to spill not that some had to she kamaru was next Never Have I Ever Had a pet at that point kba Sho who didn't argue over the fact that bugs were pets and Eno a goldfish raised their hands next was Lee never have I ever skipped a day of training collectively the bigger part of the room groaned and everyone except Lee Naruto and sake took a drink after that it was finally saker's turn she had the perfect idea or so she hoped in her already drunken mind never have I ever been publicly embarrassed by myself or anyone else in public Naruto and SAS both raised their hands the latter glaring at the medic in training who just smiled sweetly in return hanata silently finished her drink while tenton sent her a meaningful glance as she took hers actually everybody except Sakura Lee tenton and Shikamaru took one they all looked at each other in Surprise what you didn't all think that all the big Clans in konaha were pranked in the same week just like that did you Naruto slurred slightly smirked devilishly if the others weren't so drunk they would have already been planning his death seriously even the hyuga clan how in the living hell did you manage to do that kba replied astounded oh that the compound is a bouan free zone because of privacy Naruto said smiling at Nei sweetly the older Shinobi just twitched rather violently saying nothing okay but the Nar glanced at sake who seemed to be having a moment of dawning realization and the beginning of a shock at the same time pink pink everywhere was the only thing he uttered it was K's turn and he had to think carefully not that he really could the damn chohigh had gotten to him eventually he decided never have I ever been scared by a horror movie all of the others except Shikamaru who thought that horror were too Troublesome and furthermore had never seen one raised their hands and got the last cans and the winner is eno waited until everyone's attention was focused on her Shikamaru Shikamaru was congratulated by everyone who were all in various degrees of stoning he had drunk only half a can and was furthermore the most sober person in the room with soccer of the most drunk to top it all off it was only 8:30 which meant that Eno was not going to leave them alone Shikamaru side as the next game started Truth or Dare it was going to be a long night Shikamaru was first because he had won the previous game he sighed of course the only chunin in the group knew why Eno had chosen these precise games the thing that the whole village called the Nar Clan's genius was truthfully mostly simple observation skills and Shikamaru had very good ones that was why he was the only one who noticed the look on Eno's face when she suggested those two games the same look she got when she would repeat her Mantra guys like slim girls over and over and over again the same look she got when she would rant on for hours about how she was sure that SAS loved her Eno was playing Matchmaker she wasn't helping herself but quite obviously her best friend Haruno Sakura and maybe tenton and hyuga hanada and being the good Observer he was Shikamaru knew exactly why from his point of view if people just paid more attention to things then they would all lead a happier life but no they just had to make things so troubl it didn't take a genius to catch the Newfound curious look in sas's eyes every time he looked at Sakura the uch hit his emotions well but Shikamaru was no fool nor was he a romantic expert but he had a feeling that the drama between the two teammates would be resolved with a happy ending because even though Sakura didn't seem so trustful of the young Prodigy now she definitely still had feelings for him narut was still an oblivious idiot when it came to Hinata's feelings for him he just wouldn't finally look at her and notice the way she would look at him with admiration the way she always blushed around him how she stuttered However the fact that he obviously didn't like soccer the way he did before there weren't any pit full attempts to flirt and ask for dates was probably a good sign Shikamaru signed it off to him realizing it was not worth it chasing somebody who was obviously not interested that would normally be in conflict with his never give up personality but there really was no battle to win since it was a lost cause keba had been eyeing Eno with interest for quite some time now he probably just found her interesting but Shikamaru knew that that would soon change he had once fallen for his blonde teammate he had to admit but that was long ago now she was more like an annoying twin sister than anything Nei had also given Kenton a weird look when she had admitted to liking SAS they were both training Partners but by the way they were glancing at one another all throughout the game the tunin could tell that there was something more Lee had had a crush on Sakura but it wasn't serious just a sort of slight Obsession although he did look and act a bit weird he was loyal and a good friend so he would most likely find a girl too Choi and Shino hadn't shown interest for anyone in particular for now but they surely wouldn't stay single for long after all they were both from famous Clans and were good guys when you got to know them a yam would probably regret missing her chance then there was shik Maru himself he sighed again remembering her smile and mock towards him relationships were just so Troublesome but somehow he knew looking around the room that they could also prove to be very uniting and so he decided to help Eno they had all agreed that they wouldn't ask the people from their team they all knew their teammates pretty well so he set eyes on his first Target sake he was aware of the 's cleverness and took measures for it I suppose you are all wondering why you are here sunade stated the four junan Sensei of the new team they didn't know about noted even Kakashi closed his book he had a weird feeling about this earlier today a new team was formed now that was interesting it was rare for the hokagay to create new teams the Anu was one of the few but it was more like a military division still they didn't know what it had to do with them this team was called the kah 12 and it's up to you to guess who are the members the godamn continued the junan looked at each other surprised now that was really interesting albeit slightly worrying they jennin in a team they knew that they had some issues with their relationships like the fact that Team guide didn't know the others All Too Well Naruto's ability to piss off seemingly everyone except hanata or cheer seemingly everyone especially hanata but it wasn't that which worried the Sensei it was their training it was true that almost everyone in the 12 were prodigies except Sakura Lee and tenton and had their own Clan techniques and although they elected them for the tunin exams their teachers couldn't teach them much they entered because the junan all believed in teamwork and by the looks of it that was what had helped them during the exam not proper training they were all feeling guilty except guy who had purposefully given his team time to prepare and hadn't rushed Kakashi knew that he couldn't do much it was his first time leading a Jen and team and he didn't know how to teach them they were just twoo different narut was a loud and hyperactive child Sakura a fan girl and SAS and emo the only one he could really teach because he could relate to him was SAS but he couldn't just ignore the others so he spent months thinking about how he could make them improve sadly with no success so he tried to get them to work together assuma didn't know anything about the inoshikacho formation he wasn't from either of those Clans he like Kakashi didn't know how to help them Eno was a fan girl Shikamaru had absolutely no motivation and Choi was the obedient one but he lacked physical ability although the serut toi Clan had a history of training the inos Shikamaru Cho formation Asuma doubted that all of his ancestors had to deal with the same thing like him again he didn't know what to do and tried to focus on their teamwork Kur and I was a rookie Sensei again no experience she couldn't help the three prodigies in her clan in any way way she noticed that they best improved by training each other she had little to do with Hinata's Improvement Plus her speciality was Jen Jutsu and none of them had the amount chakra control needed she emphasized on teamwork like the others looking at his fellow junan guy realized that he had it easy Nei was the genius of his clan that could train by himself tendon gladly helped him improving her skills in Lee was his personal appr praan he still felt guilty because he couldn't teach the others anything new he again put teamwork and Youthful exercises above everything else the junan looked at the hokagay expectantly waiting to be scolded at instead they were greeted by a smirk which confused them why are you so downcast you think that you gave them bad training right she said they all nodded and bowed their heads in shame you do know why kaha is one of the most powerful Villages right she asked them but didn't wait for a reply it's because we real mainly on teamwork it isn't your fault that you couldn't give most of the training they needed but you did give them the most important one did you noticed how they changed after the invasion after sas's retrieval Mission because I did they are already forming bonds at this moment they're probably laughing their asses off at Naruto or playing some stupid game a team is designed so that each of the members could cover for the others weaknesses for example Lee can't use chakra right no problem a few strikes from Nei and the opponent won't be bothering them or how they both are short-range Fighters depending on the technique and weapon she uses tenton could fight in all ranges now I didn't summon you here to scold you I summoned you so that we can make them an effective training program before you head out for your next mission which starts in a few hours you know your students weaknesses and strengths you know where they can improve let's make a training program at which they can help each other the godamn finished her speech leaving them silent 2 minutes later they were already working on the schedule SAS Truth or Dare the blackhaired boy wasn't that surprised after all he was never close with Shikamaru he decided that the Nar clansmen was just fulfilling their mission and decided to play easy his head was buzzing lightly truth t did you get scared all of a sudden Naruto of course no Doby we had to get to know each other remember if you say so okay sasak Shikamaru decided to end the argument then because he didn't want to deal with a headache later how would you describe the personality of a potential girlfriend SAS was stunned but he didn't show it of course and started thinking of how to reply he had of course considered the topic before after all his second goal after killing Itachi was resurrecting his clan his priorities since back then hadn't really changed he needed someone who could stand on equal ground with with him a warrior but a lover someone who would love him and his kids regardless of how they turned out because he knew of personal experience that the worst thing for a child was to feel and be underappreciated by his parents overall he needed someone kind but strong however he found himself adding a few new things to the list he needed someone who could stop him from making mistakes or giving his judgment too quickly someone who would oppose them when they thought he was wrong not be meek and obey everything he said without a second thought but at the end of the day that someone had to love him the way he is just like his children he had to trust them with his life even sasak realized that there were probably quite a few people in konaha that could match up to those criteria even with the large number of fan girls however he found himself leaning to one person in particular he then realized where his thoughts had taken him [ __ ] had he did he he decided not to go there at least for the time being he was is going to later revisit those thought and judge their authenticy someone I trust he soon found himself replying both with my life and those of my children Shikamaru decided not to comment on the vague answer and instead let the uch take his turn Sho Truth or Dare truth sheo replied he didn't like it when people asked him personal questions but for the sake of the mission he was going to let this one pass explain how you control the insects in your body in a way that would make even Nar to understand SAS smirked a little bit now that was going to be fun oi T what are you implying that you're an idiot obviously the two boys had a glaring contest which ended when Sakura pushed them both in their seats in the next half an hour Shino explained his best as he could how he controlled the bugs and eventually even Naruto got it then it was the abor's turn Naruto truth or dare dare I dare you to pick one girl in this room as a potential girlfriend that was a smart move on shino's part Naruto was so dense about Hinata's feelings that whatever he replied it would be best for the hyuga to know whether or not she stood a chance him the blonde boy pondered Well normally I'd say Soaker achan but I feel her as more of a sister now than anything he grinned at the girl who drunkly giggled tenten's nice but I don't really know her that well she looks like a fun person but not necessarily someone I date Eno's not my type so probably hanata she is really sweet and brave and never gives up he grinned and hanata nearly fainted from blushing luckily she stood her ground Eno Truth or Dare Naruto asked dare I dare you to kiss someone in this room fine and with that Eno walked to keba and kissed him on the cheek they both blushed kba's flushed cheeks looked strange because of his red marks and Eno sat down truthfully she had taken interest in the inuzuka who had caught her attention with his Ferness and she had caught his with her wit all in all neither would complain about the Dare Sakura Truth or Dare the blonde girl asked truth who would you rather kiss SAS or Choi the pinket stared at her best friend suddenly very much sober how was she supposed to answer that question without hurting anybody really she still liked SAS and Eno knew that but on the other hand she didn't trust him so much anymore ever since that night two weeks ago she had been dangling between being broken and determined she thought of something maybe it would work if it's on the cheek I wouldn't mind kissing either of them no can do just choose already Eno ushered SAS looked at Sakura and saw her frown no pout he had guessed that she would choose him because she would think that it wouldn't mean anything but why did she hesitate did she really not trust him that much and why even after knowing The Logical answer do you was still unsure whether or not she would actually choose him then she giggled drunkly yet again fine fine um maybe Choi no fence sake she smiled awkwardly suddenly the room became awfully still Sakura looked around and chuckled what choi's a real nice guy even though he chubby yeah real nice she winked at the startled brunette everyone took a deep breath well that explained everything she was Stone drunk Sakura scanned the room searching for a victim Nei Truth or Dare truth the hyuga replied nonchalantly have you ever used your B cougan for I don't know not decent if Nei wasn't trained he would have blushed like a school girl right there and then but he was so he replied indifferently as usual no I haven't you sure because I saw you eyeing tent and Chan a few minutes ago with a funny expression on your face damn the Haruno was more observed than Nei would have liked at that moment said girl was currently rolling on the floor laughing tenton blushed furiously and Nei almost followed but managed to stay calm yes I'm sure that wasn't what you think it was then what was it she slurred after finally taking a breath Nei couldn't just tell her that he liked tenton and Sakura knew that she wasn't trying to get him to admit his feelings just to confirm her theory about them and she did tenton didn't know what to think could Nei no of course not they were just teammates after all and he looked as uninterested in her as one could get was just checking to see if she's okay she drank a lot just like you did I think it's my turn Nei turned to his cousin hanat Sama Truth or Dare truth what would you do if this was your last day i' tell everyone that I'm glad that I got to meet all of you she answered honestly making everyone drunk awe a and i' confess to the B boy I like she managed to utter then blushed furiously Naruto noticed that and thought what a lucky person her Crush was hanata was sweet and caring but strong at times when she had to be however she seemed very gentle most of the time which made her seem vulnerable like glass unconsciously narut clenched his fists that bastard better make her happy or else Sakura and Shikamaru both saw Naruto's hands and thought that maybe just maybe there was hope Hinata chose to ask tenton tenton sand truth or dare dare I dare you to do a trick with some Weaponry okay tenton said pulling some canai and a plate-sized plastic ring she started joggling with the canai and every time she threw one in the air it would pass through the ring twice she did it in different variants joggling with one arm with a finger even with her nose you know gagged at that moment but nevertheless was impressed and she did it so fast that the ring didn't even fall to the ground when when she finished everyone applauded her as she took her place once again bowing happily Cho G Truth or Dare truth if you had to choose one dish to eat every day for a week straight what would it be Choi explained in 10 minutes and in a way that almost made Shikamaru feel shame the good and bad qualities of some of his favorite meals eventually he chose pork barbecue with vegetables as aside keba truth or dare dare I dare you to give akamaru to someone else for the rest of the night kibo widened his eyes what why just do it shoi replied as he was munching on another crisp kba growled but nevertheless set akamaru down from his lap and told his best friend to choose where to sit after scanning the room the dog went to a surprised Eno who took him in her lap apparently even the dog knew that something was up between the two the game continued Lee truth or dare dare the taijutsu user answered enthusias atically I dare you to do 500 situps and if you don't succeed I'll give you something else to do fine with me Lee started the sit-ups right away although he hadn't trained for some time due to the surgery he was used to doing about 3,000 sit-ups that was why he was really surprised when he only managed to do 499 as he looked at keba expectantly he made a mental note to resume training with gay Sensei as soon as possible I dare you to kiss soccer's hand the boy with the GR jacket which he for some reason hadn't take off said Sakura and Lee were surprised and were both blushing only Shikamaru Naruto and Eno caught sight of sas's well- hidden scow but that was just because they were looking for it apparent a drunken uiha was an uiha that showed cracks in the everpresent facade Lee looked at Sakura and asked Sakura San is there a problem if I do this course not Lee hick s s just a dare after all Lee nodded understanding leaned in and slightly kissed her hand after that they were both blushing furiously it was Lee's turn Shikamaru San Truth or Dare truth a dare is too Troublesome do you think this Mission has been successful so far Shikamaru was surprised by the question but answered yes I think so we did get to know each other a bit better now anyone want to go to bed they all shook their heads to show that they didn't they all had a a lot of energy after the previous game especially the members of Team seven who to sas's biggest regret had drank the most if he was feeling dizzy then Sakura looked ready to pass out and Naruto seemed more annoying than usual Shikamaru usually had more energy than he liked to show so he agreed to stay awake for a little while longer he and sakur had decided to play a game of shoi while hanata and Lee watched them keba and Eno were sitting in a corner talking quietly to each other while the girl was stroking akamaru who was still in her lap they were talking about animals in general and keba announced that he had always found goldfish very interesting Eno blushed at that but only barely visible of course after all she was Yaman nakao boys should blush because of her and dream of her not the other way around SAS being the exception but that was beside the point she had dignity although she was starting to question if it was worth keeping it and if Keo would agree to keep it Naruto sake Nei Shino tenton and Choi were playing poker sake and Nei both had good game Insight even without using their bloodline limits while Shino and tenton were both skilled players and Naruto and Choi were just really lucky with everybody being nearly in the same phase of soberness the odds were more or less equal they weren't betting anything else aside from their dignity in the form of paper notes which the hyuga and the U pretty seriously they ended with five victories for Naruto who had some experience besides luck tendon and sake four for Nei and Shino and three for Choi the drinks were really getting to them and they decided to call it a night kba and Eno saw them stand up from the table where they had been playing and all of them went to the one where Sakura and Shikamaru were still playing Shoji Sakura was trying hard not to leave Shikamaru with no means of Escape because she knew that if she pushed him to thinking of a strategy it was game over for her she actually wasn't as drunk as she pretended to be though she was very good at hiding it Shikamaru had to give her that she was very dizzy obviously but not quite the fool she made herself look eventually she did Corner him he thought of a strategy and won they stood up and started cleaning the table thank you for playing with me the pink cat bowed her head down slightly in order to show respect to her surprise he did the same thank you for playing as well not many people have played with me and you proved yourself a worthy opponent he smiled lazily at her and she tiredly returned it she had played as best as she could and she did win something in the end respect something she had been wanting in a very long time when he saw Sakura and Shikamaru smile at each other and showing respect sasak was reminded of the earlier game his chest tightened but not of jealousy he was simply envious of the way the two treated each other with respect something which he had most likely lost after what happened two weeks ago too bad he started caring about her respect towards him and started respecting her himself much too late he wanted the old days back the days in which he would protect her all the time not like now when she could protect herself and more importantly risk her life for his like she had in the forest of death such thoughts continued to pester him even after they called lights out and the others were long asleep he even dreamed about such things after he had finally fallen asleep or at least he dreamt about them until he heard the sound of shattering glass and a scream coming from the Next Room the new Sakura SAS and the others woke up and immediately started running quietly and quickly like real ninja to The West Wing where the girls were and from where the scream Was Heard while running Nei activated his bite kugan and saw Sakura being held as captive with a hand around her neck from a person with a black costume and mask there were two other men with him who were pointing at the other girls with their weapons two long katanas Eno was the one who had screamed Nei reported this to the other boys and didn't miss their clenched Fists by the time they reached the door SAS had already activated his Sharingan and was ready to burst through it eventually they managed to calm themselves down realizing that they wouldn't help the girls like that speaking of who Eno Hinata and tenton were staring scared at Sakura and the Invaders they started thinking and calmed themselves down but didn't show it they didn't want to look suspicious Sakura however had already devised a plan she like the other girls was fully aware that the boys had already arrived there was a paper panel that was seeth through on the outside so they were watching and waiting for an opportunity to attack after a moment of silence the one who was holding Sakura started talking which one of you lives here hand me everything precious you have or this girl he locked his arm around soccer at time will die no one answered fine then I guess you don't see a no wait I live here Sakura shouted surprising everyone however the girls didn't show it and the guys were waiting to see what she was going to do she started blinking rapidly as if trying to hold back tears please I'll show you where the jewelry and money is just leave my friends alone we are only civilians my parents just have a good business please let us go business you say so they may want to pay a small ransom for their daughter the one holding the pinket smirked and walked closer to his subordinates maybe we should take her with us instead he then they would pay much more than what they have here the three men laughed and the two Swordsmen turned around that was a mistake Sakura quickly proceeded with her plan humping chakra in her foot and kicking the man who held her hard from behind suady had told her how to do that just a few days ago but Sakura was a fast learner and had good chakra control so she quickly got the hang of it her punches and kicks weren't as hard as her teachers but she like her had great strength to begin with that's why the man held his leg and for that was quickly knocked out with a punch the boys were just about to come out from their hiding place but she kamaru stopped them before when Sakura was pretending to hold back tears she was actually doing a morse code by blinking the message was I have a plan if the plan involved them she would have told them so he decided to leave her to it the other boys followed his lead and watched not that there was much left to watch when Sakura had punched the one who had held her captive the other two men had turned around and then to the others girls to threaten but they had disappeared they were actually hiding behind another paper panel on the other side of the room since the men had first started talking about taking Sakura with them leaving some bunchin behind they were waiting for an opening but it never came the two Intruders were left stupified for a moment which gave sakur enough time to press two pressure points on both of their necks resulting in them falling unconscious like their partner although she had just started training with people Sakura had done a lot of reading for the past days and knew how to knock out her enemies effectively and for a long enough period of time after the men fell everyone came out of their hiding places and looked at Sakura with new eyes she really was no longer a SAS fan girl and all brains but no skill no now she was a kunoichi able ble to take care of herself and others too she blushed under their gazes they all congratulated her called the police after the uch massacre the Hokage had employed some Shun in and junan to work there and tied the three men to a pillar it turned out that they didn't have to the police came before The Intruders woke up the authorities suggested that the young Shinobi all slept in the East wing and locked all the doors that surrounded the room in which the window had been broken they were all tired and didn't protest they just answered the office's questions wished them a good night and the girls moved their stuff to the east Wayne then they all waited for sake to lock the doors before collapsing back to sleep the next morning sake was the first to wake up it was quite surprising considering that he spent the first half of the night dreaming and thinking about the new Sakura and the other half doing the same thing not that he was the only one of course the others had too thought about soccer's change and were glad about it one less SAS fan girl was always a good reason to celebrate and even Eno didn't seem interested in U anymore something for which Keo was very glad he just hoped that he hadn't made too much of a fool himself last night SAS got up and decided to be a good host and prepare breakfast as he was walking to the door he saw sakur a stir she sat up in her sleeping bag and rubbed her eyes she stood up oh good morning SAS she said sleepily and yawn hn I see you're awake let's get dressed and make breakfast he they picked up their clothes they had slept in pajamas without another words SAS went to a bathroom down the hall and gestured for Sakura to go to another one they came out about 10 minutes later showered and fully dressed and headed towards the kitchen what shall we prepare the girl asked hn I don't know the boy replied they eventually started making omelets SAS put some tomatoes with his after they were done they started cleaning the counter which was covered with eggshells SAS then looked at Sakura and saw that she had some in her hair he raised an eyebrow at her the pinket noticed that it touched her hair only to find small pieces of eggshell she caught SAS smirking and got pissed off and a little bit embarrassed so she picked up some leftover tomato slices and dumped them in his hair Sakura smiled sweetly upon seeing the scowl on his face oh s [ __ ] I know how much you love tomatoes and decided that you might want some as an accessory she mocked him in her Fang girl Voice once reserved especially for him that was the moment when the others decided to come in and seeing the uch with tomatoes in his hair and the ex-fan girl laughing at him was enough to wake them up fully and they started laughing along sas's scow only deepened and he threw some eggs at her socer aside stepped and the eggs ended up on the front of Naruto's t-shirt his jacket was open he frowned and threw some at him in return but the Prodigy dodged and Eno got some in her hair and so the biggest food fight that konaha had ever hosted began they hid turned a couple of bowls luckily they were plastic sake even considered activating his Sharingan for a moment but he was actually having fun and didn't want it to end they ended up back to back separated by the counter they divided in two teams all except Shino who said that his bugs didn't like it the others weren't sure what to make of his open answer yet and Shikamaru who said it was too Troublesome but who knew for a fact that the most enjoyable position in those kinds of events was as a spectator the teams were sasak Eno Nei Lee and hanata and Sakura Naruto kba Choi and tendon they were all Breathing heavily they had been going on like that for about 10 minutes the whole kitchen was a mess their clothes were dirty but luckily the omelets were in the dining room already served with napkins forks and everything all of the fighters had a handful of eggs and tomatoes they decided on one final attack and jumped at the same time they both threw the last of their ammo at each other and fell again separated by the counter Sakura started laughing and even sas's lips turned up however when he stood his face was in his usual Stone facade annoying he huffed at her that only made her laugh even harder and everyone joined except Shino and sasak but they both smiled the aburame and Shikamaru even agreed to do some of the cleaning the first ones that came out of the shower and the ones that had to wait they may have been in a mansion but there weren't 1,000 bathrooms helped and by the end they had all cleaned themselves and the mess was taken care of then they sat in the dining room and had a nice breakfast although the omelets were cool they talked for a bit and decided to report that they all thought the mission to be a success on the way to the hok mansion the citizen of konah has stared at them some of them were the hokage's assistant's children with admiration the grown-ups assessing the other girls and boys some With Envy some nonchalantly and some were already on the way to becoming fan girls Fanboys keba and Naruto just waved and smiled the later nudged the other and told him that his fan girls were more in comparison Shino caught that and remarked that sas's fan girls remained the biggest number Naruto huffed and started a glaring contest with the Uchiha it went on for a while but the blonde boy grinned and the blackhaired turned his head around so that no one could see the slightly upturned corners of his mouth he had an image after all Naruto then started teasing keba and Eno calling them love birds and asking when they will make their relationship official Eno hit him and told him that maybe just maybe if he wasn't such an idiot he would have been able to get a girlfriend almost everyone laughed at that statement Nei sheo and S just smirked while hanata blushed even Naruto stopped fake frowning and grinned again putting his hands behind his neck like usual they arrived at the Hokage office and shison greeted them sunade lifted her head from the paperwork on her desk hello everyone so how did it go we are here to report that the mission was a success Shikamaru stated they had all agreed earlier that Shikamaru should be the leader of the team even narut didn't complain being a chunin and th most intelligent he was the most qualified one that's good sunade replied setting the papers down we heard of the accident what happened well the police already questioned us the lazy Shinobi replied yes but I want to hear it from you I haven't had enough time to read the report the Hokage demanded basically Sakura beat up their asses Naruto I'm having a headache and your screaming doesn't help now tell me the whole story who is them and what did they do the jenin and chunin explained how they woke up from the sound of glass shattering how Sakura was taken hostage how she lied that she owned the house the following short battle and ended with the police arriving well done Sakura sunade smiled proudly at her a prandis who smiled back well in this case do you think you can handle missions together from now on yes we can Shikamaru replied in this case I have something for the hok was interrupted by a chune and bursting through the door sunade Sama the bandits who attacked the uch Mansion last night have escaped asterisk mors code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of onoff tones lights are clicks that can be directly understood by a skilled listener or Observer without special equipment Wikipedia in this chapter Sakura is doing it by blinking meaning that we have longer and shorter blinks for different characters if she is doing it fast there may be some mistakes in deciphering it but Shikamaru is a good Observer as mentioned in the previous chapter Omak kba and Eno's talk kba and Eno sat in one of the corners of the room in the uch Mansion The Boy originally wanted to play poker with the others he could easily recognize when they lie since people become nervous and it affects their smell however the yamanaka had interested him and he wanted to learn more about her even if it was through her pet he never knew that goldfishes could prove to be so interesting for example they only hear what they want to if you talk to them and you say Food they'll listen but if it's about something else they won't Eno talked about her pet with a glint in the eye she was an animal lover all right and akamaru seemed to like her he had been sitting in her lap peacefully ever since the truth or Dar game if it were someone else besides hanata and Shino the dog would have tried to escape they talked and keba found other interesting things about her he didn't know what possessed him to say that he thought that goldfishes were awesome he hoped that it was a good thing if the fact that Eno had a glint in the eye when she spoke to him for the rest of the night could be counted as one the whole room Stood Still at those words what do you mean how sunade asked it seems that they have used some kind of poison on the bars of their cell and left overnight without anyone noticing we still don't know how they have managed to hide the poison from the Shinobi who checked them nor how the ones on guard have been poisoned too a tracking team caught their Trail about 30 minutes ago and headed towards them they promised to send us a report in about an hour I came here as soon as I could I don't understand bachan what's going on hok Sama what should we do Shikamaru questioned let me think it all over sunade started rubbing her temples silencing the room after about a minute she let her hands fall at her sides eyes resolved voice steady first we should assume that the robbery wasn't their real purpose if they were skilled enough to sneak poison without the guards noticing and able to knock them out when they didn't even show that much strength last night then their attack on the uch Mansion must have had another meaning plus they managed to take down two Jan and taking all of the already mentioned happenings I doubt it was a stroke of luck either reconnaissance then they might have just been sent here to gather information on us the Nara suggested but they only held sakur a hostage even when she wasn't the one sleeping closest to an exit Eno reminded and she was also the only one they witnessed fight if they needed any more information they would have stayed after they had escaped not leave the village which means which means that their target was me the pink had finished everyone looked at her she was staring at the door ever since the start of Team seven Sakura had always been useless she had watched Naruto and sas's backs all the time they were the ones to fight the ones to protect her and she didn't give it too much thought until that time when the ucha had called her a lower level ninja than Naruto but it had changed during the second exam the cut of her hair had been her symbol of maturing of finally being able to do something ever since she had cut it she had tried to be useful to the team true Naruto and SAS still had done most of the fighting but she had tried like that time they had had to help Morino idate she had tried to fight she had provided first aid to her teammates when they were wounded she had done everything she could she had noticed that she had great strength her talent for Jan Jutsu the way she could tend wounds pretty well she had thought that maybe just maybe she had started being useful that she had became stronger but it still wasn't enough when SAS had left she hadn't she couldn't do anything to stop him she had just stood there Frozen being pathetic and weak and annoying all the things she had convinced herself she had left behind the morning after the first day without him she had decided that she would become strong no matter what and hope and pray that when Naruto brought sake back she would be stronger she would be able to make him stay she had started working hard on becoming a medic nin and had learned a lot for two weeks she liked it she liked her teacher she liked the things she learned everything and now those men were mocking her letting her defeat them they were mocking her hard work and hell was she angry Sakura clenched her fists and looked up to the others who were giving her odd glances even Nei and sas's features had softened a bit when they saw her angry expression they were startled but what she said next surprised them even more then let's go after them Sakura you can't just sh Show last night the JN and assured us that they would look after these men however they said that they were the last of their rank that all the other Jan were on missions now these men require medical attention and can't fight the rest of them and most of the chunin are on missions the tracking team is just that a tracking team they don't have that much experience in fighting we are the only ones left plus we are 12 and they too even if they are stronger than us we could beat them with good teamwork Sakura stated rendering everyone silent this time not just with the glint in her eyes that said how badly she wanted to chase after the ones who had humiliated her but also by her calm reasoning sunade started thinking what Sakura said was true they were the only ones left she sighed and made a decision when she hoped they would understand fine then I will assign a mission sheo Shikamaru Nei and jiah will go after these men you are only to follow them not engage in any way I will tell Jia who will be the team leader about the mission I simply cannot let all of you go we know nothing about their motives who they work with nothing a fourman squad is sent out jiah is a son with experience in Intel Gathering Shikamaru is a TuneIn and is the most logical Choice as such Sho like the rest of Team 8 specializes in tracking but is also useful for information gathering and combat should it be needed Nei is very good at combat and tracking I will not send anyone from Team seven because your emotions may start guiding your decisions this is my only concern for both you and the rest I do not doubt your capabilities as Shinobi I merely try sending who I think is best for the mission understood team seven looked ready to protest but thought better at least Sakura and sasak did they had to restrain Naruto from saying anything the others looked around nervously and eventually muttered a hi and you the hokagay turned towards the one who had brought the news watch out for the report and bring it immediately to me yes hokages Sama was the reply in the tun and left the 12 other shobi at his toes sunade sighed and looked at shizun did I do the right right thing there was nothing better you could have done yes sunade paused you're right the godam reached out for a bottle of Sak in one of the cupboards in her desk shizun didn't stop her the kah had 12 met after 20 minutes as agreed the ones that were assigned the mission had already prepared and the others were there to see them off normally giving Mission details to Shinobi not part of said mission was against the protocol but Tsunade chose not to comment on it if they knew the details at least they might calm down a bit she reasoned here is the report of the tracking nins the godam handed Shikamaru a scroll and explained the two men have headed to the country of Ricefield specifically towards a forest there we don't know why sunade noticed sasak frowning what is it Uchiha the country of Ricefield is where orochimaru's Hideout is The Prodigy replied for a moment everyone froze what are you sure keba asked that's where the sound four were me in order to meet him they said his base was in a small clearing in some Mountain Woods there the important question is why Oro chimaru would send his men to find more about Sakura when he was after sasak Nei reminded narut and sasak glanced at each other and nodded it is true that Orochimaru is after me he agreed to give me power Sask started slowly but his real aim was to take over sas's body to use it as a container he has an immortality Jud of some sort but he needs a new body every few years Naruto continued we don't know whether or not he has already used this technique and gotten a new body the sound four were in a hurry to get me there SAS took up the conversation again so even if he has taken a new body it still doesn't make sense what might he want with Sakura Eno asked because in order to take sas's body he would now have to fight us Shikamaru replied he needs a general idea of our abilities especially of Naruto and sakuras who are closest to him I already fought him at the tunin exam Naruto remembered which leaves Sakura but he probably knows that we would Chase those men so why did he make them go back to him because it's a trap this time it was tenton silence fell over the room for a while so what sakuro was still full of surprises even if it is a trap this is probably the best lead we'd ever get on him we can't wait for the jonan to finish their missions we have to act and fast even if it's only a few of us we the rest could look up Ricefield country and see what we can find if we wait for him to strike again I don't even want to think about the consequences this time something has to be done now couldn't have said it better myself a new voice piped in everybody turned towards the door greetings young jennet I am jariah the great toad Sage of the sonim and your team leader their trip to the Ricefield country was quiet too quiet the air was Heavy the four Shinobi had been trailing their targets for a while now and they were all very tense jariah had said at the start of the mission that they would keep a distance of at least 30 m so as to not be sensed but still be able to track the missing men the sonin had not leaded team in quite a while but reasoned that the boys were sensible and would listen to him unlike a certain godson of his Nei was admittedly scared but tried to reason with himself they were four two jenon a chunin and even another sonin he knew he could and would trust all of them like sunade had said they were all perfectly suited for this Mission but then again they were facing aanin the most ruthless one at that Shikamaru already thought that whole situation way too Troublesome but he understood soccer's reason behind it in any case she was right they were the only available team the rest were on missions still he had a nudging feeling inside of his chest which meant that something was going to go wrong too late to be sorry anyway he sighed Shino was trying to make his bugs Scout the area in front of them so that if any of the missing men tried to surprise them he would know before they even tried plus it helped keep his mind off of things because although he knew why they were doing what they were doing he wasn't exactly enthralled with it they reached the border with the rice field country by Sunset their targets had decided to stop and rest for the night and so the four of them had to two it wasn't like they minded taking a break and it gave Jah an opportunity to place a tracking seal on the ones they were following which would in turn make their Journey easier tomorrow however just taking into consideration what they were about to do the very next day was proving to be more taxing on the Mind than anticipated and so while wondering what the rest of their comrades were doing in konaha the for shobi slowly fell asleep Omak youthful love after about 2 hours Ashi Asuma kurai guy and sunade were finally finished with the training program for their students it hadn't been a too difficult task they all knew their students fairly well and thus the discussion went smoothly then Kakashi decided to play matchmaker jiah's novels had really gotten to him and not just the porn part but the Romantic one as well and you didn't have to be blind to notice assuma and Kai's feelings for each other he pulled guy aside and told him about his plan his rival agreed immediately to help shouting about how youthful love was and how it can help them to further preserve their own youth Kakashi sweat dropped but said nothing the copi nin casually walked to isuma and kurai after they exited tsunade's office and asked say have you guys ever thought of getting into a relationship they looked at him astounded and then guy shouted a yes how youthful love is it could increase everyone's youthfulness drastically you you he kurai are one youthful flower in you serut toi assuma are one Mighty Oak May the Flames of Youth burn brightly within you both Sensei looked Disturbed and rened there is nothing between us assuma protested what he said Kur andai agreed her face color almost matching the one of her eyes we just good friends really good friends at that Kakashi smiled smugly under his mask what are you implying Kakashi the Sensei of Team pen asked clearly frustrated absolutely nothing assuma I just asked you if any of you had ever thought of getting into a relationship I didn't say it had to be with each other then again if that is your automatically assumption I don't see why you cannot be with each other Kakashi said in shunin Ed away with guy following his lead so assuma started after the awkward silence had dragged on for too long so Kur and I continued just ask her out already I've already made a bet with Kakashi that she wouldn't agree so you should be fine sunade shouted from her office she was watching from her hokagay crystal ball courtesy of the sand Dame and they were just Bell over office window assuma rened even more and blurted well K and I will you go out with me yes I will she replied and both left to prepare for their mission still as red Yash Kakashi you sure know how to make the Flames of Youth burn brightly now all we have to do is find you a youthful flower guy stated coming from behind the tree he was hiding Kakashi stepped from the other one and said nothing the thought of guy playing Matchmaker for him was way too terrifying you could ask anko I bet she would have everything against it the godam again yelled from her window that's exactly what I'm afraid of the copy nin muttered and went back to his apartment to prepare for his mission the next morning they all woke up early none of them had really gotten any sleep and crossed the border by Dawn the sonin chunin and jenin traveled the whole morning only stopping for breakfast at a tea house at that point in time they weren't worried about where the people they were trailing were they had gotten ahead and jiah's tracking seal seemed to be working fine so they took their sweet time discussing strategy while keeping a leisurely Pace just as they were deciding the final parts of boys suddenly jumped on the road two figures attacked him and the leaf Shinobi rushed to his Aid seeing the bigger group The two assaulters ran away in the forest the boy had a deep gash on the arm he was wearing a light purple gray vest dark green shorts beige sandals a wristband on each hand and a dark blue mask showing only his brown eyes and a shock of Ginger hair after Shino did what he could with the healing bomb hanata had sent him and the bandages he had on himself the person was revealed as a girl named sasama thank you for saving me she said and took off her mask she didn't look so relieved for someone who bad just been saved from potential mortal danger and the rest noted it as such why were they after you Nei asked her who are you sasama asked instead are you Shinobi yes we are jariah confirmed what about you sasama sigh rubbing the back of her head well it's a long story but I can tell you why we walk they started on the road again and listened to her tale about her clan Oro chimaru recruiting her cousin her quest to save him even though the the group of Shinobi pretty much knew where they were headed they let her lead the way meanwhile a discussion was held between the team from Kono whether or not to help her Jah was worried about a confrontation with Oro chimaru but eventually decided to allow his team to help especially after the Naruto will never forgive you card was drawn after some traveling they reached a mountain sasama offered them food with a sleeping drug in it later they confronted her and the bandits defeated them and set out again having shown her she could trust them no one would admit it but everyone became nervous as they neared orochimaru's Lair even Jah eventually they reached the cave hidden among the trees Nei checked the entrance for traps and people but there were none they told sasama to go back to her clan and she turned around biding them goodbye then the rest walked down a corridor which divided into three more they were four so they decided that jarah would go alone Shikamaru and Sheena together leaving Nei also alone they wished luck to each other before taking their separate corridors knowing they might as well need it in a place as dark as this to be honest the ones from the 12 that were back in konaha were all at least a bit worried about their comrades everything that had happened in the last few months made the jenin feel as if they'd had enough for the year the tunin exams and sound Invasion the third dying sunade taking his place Sask leaving sas's retriev the formation of the new team the attack and now the mission it wasn't even May yet the Jen and were in all honesty still trying to wrap their heads around everything that had happened because it still felt too fast even if it had been weeks or months the recent developments and lack of missions because team seven needed to be monitored at all time otherwise Cammy knew what they would do only left more spare time to ponder on everything Choi for his part was strongly affected by it all due to his kind heart and fondness of the old man the third's death had been a great shock sometimes though he hadn't admitted that to anyone he still had nightmares about the man he had felt was his own grandfather as for the 12 he was actually quite excited about how it would all turn out really the only people he had perceived as his friends so far had been Shikamaru his best friend and Eno because hell even she had her moments keba and narut had once been childhood Playmates but nothing more and so he was glad because his team had expanded into a family full of cousins with colorful personalities and it made life in general more interesting you know had she known what Choi was thinking would have agreed with him it was true that she felt as if Choi and Shikamaru were her only friends even though her relationship with Sakura had gotten a lot better the last few months had helped her recognize the fact that there was a different side to everyone and it made her more open and acceptable of other people she couldn't seem to stand before namely Naruto she too felt as if the newly formed team would result in something bigger and better Shikamaru quickly analyzed their situation not that there was much to analyze he and Shino were in the middle of a corridor and an unnaturally large snake was coming towards them he didn't like their predicament not one bit TCH he grumbled then turned to his teammate you think your insects can devour that much chakra Shino glanced at the approach ing snake quickly it's a summon if I am correct if we stall for long enough they should be able to not like we have a lot of choices Shikamaru sighed briefly hands already going through the familiar signs of his binding technique letun do it then he added just as he hit the final seal tenton for her part was strongly reminded of her mother whom she had lost a long time ago her mother had had a knack for crafting and playing musical instruments just like her father had for weapons from her tent and had inherited her musical Talent something that no one besides her father knew about since her mother's death she had had to start helping her father in his shop and her childhood had been cut in half on the other hand it was one of the things that had inspired her to become a ninja they often came across the shop to buy weapons and she had often admired them from afar so it had led her to meet the rest of Team guy as well as everyone else from the kah had 12 something which she was really thankful for she was slowly getting to know them and had a feeling that their codery was going to last Lee had learned to live in solitude a long time ago he was an orphan the one everyone in the academy made fun of because of his underdeveloped chakra coils and to say that team guy was The Shining Light in his life would not be an over exaggeration he had been teamed up with a genius and a prodigy of her own although she hadn't decided to take up her family's craft seriously until later he himself hadn't stood out with anything at the time he wasn't even sure how he had passed that academy test in the first place still he was glad he had for it had lead him to meet such amazing people sakur achan was among the most notable of course of whom he already thought as excellent comrades it reminded him of the early days of teen guy although their relationship had been Rocky at best in the beginning they had learned to cooperate at the very least but even that cooperation seemed to be enough given the fact that they were the only ones from their generation of rookies to survive through the sound and Invasion it had weighed on their Consciousness for some time why them why not the other two teams which had had perfect teamwork the ones who truly carried the will of fire and thought of each other as family once Nei might have called it fate because neither of the other teams had a clan genius a weapon mistress or one of konah his strongest J and and grudgingly his not so useless Protegé now Lee realized it had been sheer dumb luck Nei faced the young woman with a comic expression cautiously sipping his tea if the few Scrolls he had previously read on poisoning were anything to go by the hot beverage wasn't dangerous he patiently sat through the dinner offerings which he had politely declined he had accepted the tea to gain time to asses his opponent and the sweet talking once his host took out the flute though he decided it was time for Action her hair was a bother at the very least but it was nothing he couldn't deal with sure he couldn't use Jukin on it but with all of the weapon practice he had gotten with tenton he had a few rather creative ideas as to how to use a canai so he knew he would be able to hold it off until he got close enough to take care of his opponent Keo was on edge he felt like getting up and going for a walk but he imagined his scowling expression would scare some of the villagers and so he lay on his bed deep in thought silently petting akamaru who was sleeping next to him ke's frustration came from a few things namely the fact that he was stuck in konaha worrying about his teammates slight jealousy that he was not chosen for the mission and the fact that he was feeling the former because really the second he could deal with but the first yeah they were facing a sonine but they had one with them so why was he worrying it wasn't like he really cared about them right this may have sounded wrong to anybody should they somehow know what he was thinking he was from the inuzuka clan right he was supposed to care for his pack right yes but no his pack included whoever he decided it included and to be honest most of the people on the mission weren't considered from it sure Shikamaru was a childhood friend and Sho turned out not to be that bad and the previous day had been fun but that didn't matter it didn't really it shouldn't have because once an inuka got attached to a person they got attached literally they would do anything for them die for them kill for them you name it it was something that was only really known between the clan members the weakness to having friends and close people even within the clan that was why his mother was always so rough and his sister so detached because the inuzuka attachment was usually their downfall whether it caused them to do something completely Reckless and get themselves and everyone else killed or become a monster just because of that one person when you were a kid it was fine because kids have this innocence to them the same that pups did however kids grew into a adults and pups into dogs or in his Clan's case wolves the day his mother had explained that to him he had stopped questioning his father's death and so he found himself in a very complicated situation because caring on his part could lead to a lot of things most of them not good at this point in time though he realized that he could either evoke confusion and questions if he avoided the others or go with the flow and hope that nothing bad happened for the first time keba prayed that Naruto's therapy no Jutsu be used on him Hinata was training under her usual spot in the waterfall mindful of everything water as she had discovered recently had a soothing effect on her as a kid she had loved bads just as the next person and the fact that she could afford it was a plus still she had never given it much thought but recent events had made her find her solace in water she thought that it was what made her different than her fellow clansmen all of the hyuga were stoic and calm precise ly what Earth symbolized while water was the opposite the element of emotion it was all quite ironic when you thought about it while hanata reflected on everything that had happened in the past few days she found herself hoping that everyone on the mission was all right and excited for what was to come after it she had a good feeling about all of it really the 12 of them kind of fit different people different strengths different weaknesses but then again a puzzle could never be complete with the same pieces could it Sho was silent as he and Shikamaru walked through the corridor in the aftermath of their battle with the snake summon if he had to be honest it all felt surreal to him one day he is going on minding his own business next thing he knows another person from his year has fled the village been brought back and suddenly they on the same team for a yet unclear amount of time bordering on forever however long that lasted for them as such the water slide that suddenly appeared under his feet brought both relief and confusion although he would be lying if he said the ladder was Stronger sake was fully conscious of the fact that if he didn't stop hitting the tree with all he had he was either going to break it or break his knuckles snap there went the tree not that his knuckles were much better they were bloody and hurt like a [ __ ] furthermore the overall look on his face might have been enough for the JN and watching him to report him for anger mental issues and take away his Shinobi license forever but then again he didn't really care what they thought compared to his crappy weak life there were annoyances at best speaking of annoyances a certain one was on his mind and may or may not be connected to his incredibly bad mood it wasn't that he didn't deserve her distrust he did really and he knew that if he should he blame anyone it had to be himself he was the one who had basically broken her heart and left her unconscious on a [ __ ] bench still the change was unwelcome and made him though he' never admit it uncomfortable but only slightly that wasn't the worst of it though the fact that he had tried to flee The Village but had failed was stirring something unpleasant in his stomach with the admittedly deserved amount of distrust he was receiving in general expressed in glares the occasional hushed insult from a bystander and the silent way that Jon and behind him were communicating at all times was bothering him for a moment he thought that if he hadn't failed fleeing he would have probably not be dealing with this right now then he shook his head he would reap what he had saw and do it without complaining because honestly the Hokage had gone easy on him and not because of his pretty face he realized that he owed his team all of it he can start redeeming himself by paying for lunch he supposed they were meeting that afternoon at ichiraku he dreaded the discussion that would surely follow he knew the topic of his betrayal would be brought up however when he tried to think of an answer to the accusing and questioning stairs he came up with nothing oh well he was just going to have to go with the flow before that though he should really bandage his knuckles so as to prevent Sakura from fussing over him he doubted she would now of all times but the thought made the situation somewhat more bearable Jaya really didn't want to deal with this he had never personally gotten a hold of what had happened in the forest of death and how Oro chimaru had managed to convince SAS to join him but listening to his former teammate happily chatting away everything he now had a pretty good idea not only of that but of how bad iiha Itachi had messed up his little brother's mind honestly it had to be pretty bad if Promises of power like that had been enough to persuade him poor kid back to the present he and Oro chimaru were just having a friendly Spar when jiah's subordinate showed up the snake sonin decided that he had had enough and left with the promise that sasek would join him eventually leaving his underling Kabuto to fight with them the medic tried to use one of his special Jutsu on jiah but he had trained with Tsunade so it didn't work out quite like the young man had hoped if being thrown into a wall was anything to go by however he then started transforming into somebody something different that was when sasama ran into the room sasak knew he was screwed beforehand but it was only when he saw Kakashi and Naruto waiting for him at the ramen stall on time he started re-evaluating his definition of the word soccer is not coming Kakashi said with no book in sight alarm Bells were starting to ring in sake's ears she has training with sunade Sama hn the last duha replied and froze thinking that it may not have been the right thing to say Kakashi just smiled from under his eye was it time for saying his prayers yet SAS sat down and told the owner that everything was on him Naruto who he would have normally expected to jump up excitedly at the occasion was silent and wasn't even looking at him SAS was suddenly glad that Sakura wasn't there the atmosphere was suffocating enough as it was they didn't talk while eating and Naruto even ate only two bowls of ramen a few days ago he seemed fine with sake being back in konaha but the attack had served to remind him just what had happened and who they were dealing with after all there were many things Naruto could forgive but hurting Sakura was not part of that list even if he had not intended to SAS still felt guilty about that over time he had grown somewhat protective of her because he perceived her as weak and naive as too innocent to actually realize that the Shinobi world was not a nice place and so he had done whatever was in his power to protect her and she had slowly grown on him fangling that had thankfully lessened and all he hadn't lied when he had called her a precious person of his during the Chun and exam attack however when it came to whether she or Naruto or Kakashi even were more important to him compared to getting power to avenge his dead family well what did you expect from a person who had grown up had been raised to love his clan and put it before everything of someone who had to go through years of Hell in forms of nightmares and constant reminders of how he still wasn't strong enough how he'd never be someone who had been saved by hatred because it was the only thing he had left when all the people he had loved had died or betrayed him furthermore the former question was the most confusing in sas's life and he still didn't know whether he had made the wrong choice by trying to flee and now with the new team and new bonds it promised the question was either going to finally be resolved or just get more and more confusing sasak knew that the what if would haunt him forever he just hoped that someday he achieved a peace of mind that allowed him to say that it didn't matter either way and for now that was killing Itachi sas's train of thought stopped just as they reached training ground three he hadn't even noticed when they' begun walking he remembered paying the bill and not much more that was how deep in thought he had been Kakashi beamed from behind his mask now then Naruto SAS sensed the coming punch but decided that he deserved it and so he took it without so much as a grunt Naruto for his part seemed to be breathing heavily anger was radiating from him a flash of red danced through sas's mind but he decided it was not the time for that next thing he knew Naruto had already grabbed his by the collar and was rather silently telling him what big of an idiot he was how he didn't need Oro chimaru of all people snakes whatever the hell he was for power they were more than enough to help him and how if he ever hurt Sakura that way again he would break his skull and I mean it teh SAS was glad that it was over Naruto being angry and quiet was a phenomenon he didn't want to have to experience again then Kakashi opened his mouth since you seem so sure that Oro chimaru is the only available source of power I guess I should show you why I was already at Jan at your age and U only a few years later Cammy have mercy the next two hours were the most painful and exhausting in sas's entire life he found himself smirking home sweet home after defeating arashi the monster which took exactly one renon with shadows bugs and overall inability to move preventing the target from escaping Jah and his Squad met up with the summon and sasama recognized the girl as one of her clan the group left and found the clan in a nearby town after some thanks from the people and promises for visits they headed back towards konaha so Captain what did Oro chimaru say if you don't mind me asking Shikamaru inquired on their second day of traveling nothing you should worry about Jah replied appreciating the respect he was getting as a superior now if he got a hot bath a fine woman some sake and a certain blonde idiot to treat him the same way life might feel good again I imagine Sho Drew attention looking straight ahead that it had something to do with sasak San jya sighed yeah I wonder what sort of person would even consider accepting such an offer Nei added offhandedly but no one was fooled the hyuga clan and the Uchiha Clan had never liked each other much even the younger generation knew that but one could say that Naruto's fight with Nei also had some part in the hidden Venom in his voice I wouldn't put the question this way Jah stated Gathering curious stares rather what sort of thing does a person have to experience to even consider such an offer even more act on it that left everybody in silence they all knew about the uch massacre but nobody really knew what exactly had happened that night beside the murdered himself in SAS they had imagined it had been bad but just how much this question left the boys silent for the rest of the trip danzo crumpled the report he had received from his subordinate anger filling him like a NeverEnding storm he exited his office in the underground bunker in a Brisk Pace quickly getting to the Hokage Tower his expression scared away most of the younger ninja in his path and made uneasy the rest he found hura and kaharu calmly sipping their tea danzo made an effort to compose himself at least to a certain degree but the whole thing had gotten under his skin more than it should have a team a bloody team consisting of all the Rook Shinobi and she doesn't even think to consult us that is beyond insulting it is downright Blasphemous kaharu put her teacup down and leveled danzo a steady gaze we realize danzo and we already tried to reason with sunade said the decision may be unwise she is wasting time and potential income from the missions these 12 would otherwise be on but she will not hear any of it these jenon are a ticking Time Bomb it is only a matter of time before they have a serious argument and go at each other this is what the fourman team system was designed for it was both the most optimal and economical solution to the situation she is going to trash her predecessor's Legacy if she keeps it up and what do you propose to do about it we cannot simply sit around and wait for the bomb to go off what if she decides to do the same with other teams this will lead to an even bigger disaster Hira fixed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and calmly broke what would have been a pointless argument caused by danzo's aggression we cannot do anything for now anything official that is however even if we decide to ignore standard procedures what could we do then konaha will not stand with us kaharu stated firmly there was a bit of Calamity over the uchi's attempted fleeing but although he still isn't trusted they will not battle sunade on the decision they like the idea of a bigger team consisting of all the rookies for they all showed potential during the tunin exams the citizen and body will not understand a reason for Disobedience and attempting to convince them would prove to be feudal and the village is already unstable as it is trying to revolt will not work out well no we must seek other options danzo the latter's thoughtful facade dropped as he looked at his companions an idea had formed itself in his head it was risky but then again wasn't the whole partnership that way sunade will bring konaha down danzo stated slowly in a calm voice we all know that hen's methods will not work in the long run the way I see it it may be best to be allied with our enemies and weed out our ins sucepute to reason allies what are you implying questioned hirro with a serious face I believe it is time I told you about my correspondence with Oro chimaru well congratulations then said sunade after hearing the report from Jah about his and the konah had 12's Mission they didn't know what those congratulations were for though it wasn't like they had managed to stop Oro chimaru or kabudo or anything nor did they find something about the snake son's future plans the only things they achieved were saving sama's Clan destroying The Hideout which was basically abandoned and getting out alive the last one in itself was an accomplishment though but we didn't do that much of a thing muttered tenton but everyone heard her and the rest of the 12 silently agreed I wouldn't call saving a clan nothing tenton the godam contradicted true you didn't take out a sonin or his yearlong of prantis but then again no one expected you to this Mission could be referred to as as rank you snuck into an enemy's Hideout learned his purposes for attacking a comrade and judged that said enemy is plotting something you pretty much went on the mission to find out just that this is what matters the group of jenin and chunin were surprised at the hokage's words really what were they thinking no one could have seriously expected them to take out a son even if they did have one one on their side their spirits lifted up and the tension in the room dissolved now that that's over on the topic of your training sunade started gaining their attention again the night of your sleep over at the uch Mansion I and your Sensei decided on what you could improve would you should start training how we could help you and how you could help each other she smiled at their again surprised Expressions tonight all of them are returning from a mission and they're leaving for another in 2 days today rest and meet them tomorrow at 10:00 on training ground 27 and we will explain everything understood hi hok Sama the 12 replied and went home to prepare for the next day may I leave sadim asked jarah and his old teammate turned her attention towards him no jarah there is something I need to discuss with you she stated is it about Naruto's training because if it is you should know that soon I'll be leaving the village to do a research on akitsuki he warned it's not just just about nutk training it's also about something else the Hokage replied about what I want you to tell him who his parents were about his clan and I want you to teach him in tenton fuinjutsu the 12 met their respective senses the next day at the precise time and place they greeted each other sunade and Jah were watching from behind a tree in some bushes so we must first teach you some basic lessons for a Shinobi assuma started what like tautu Jutsu ninjutsu Sakura asked no not this time Sakura Kakashi replied if you want to know what they are first start fighting us what what demanded kba akamaru barking on his head as if in agreement just do it you'll see said Kur and I the 12 threw looks at each other and waited for one of them to start eventually Naruto as impatient as ever threw a canay at assuma who instead of dodging or blocking it caught it and sent it flying back at the blonde who blocked lesson number one the JN and Sensei of Team 10 started weapons and ammo remember that in battle you couldn't have to use everything you can in order to win if an enemy throws a canai or shuriken or he loses another weapon use it against him the more weapons you have the better right tenton said girl nodded as for ammo such can be used in different types of weapons for instance shizun hokages s's assistant has a weapon which sends senbon needles in this case the needles are the ammo and are for more than onetime use however if you managed to collect them her weapon would be useless yes but what if she replicates them narut asked Nar first I don't think there is a Jutsu that can replicate s bonds Kakashi told his student and even if there was usually when people use weapons with ammo their attacks are long ranged and usually they are weak at shorter ranges or don't have enough chakra not everyone has as much as you in this case we have shison who is a medical ninja and they usually don't have that much chakra because they need Advanced control the blonde nodded lesson number two announced kurai as she started the hand signs for a Jutsu stealth and she disappeared SAS activated his Sharingan but couldn't find her he looked around and cursed he remembered that the bloodline limit could only see if a person was under a Jen Jutsu and they most certainly were he saw that Nei and hanata had activated there by a kugan but looked just as confused as the rest Sakura being the one good with Jen Jutsu tried to dispel in but to no avail do you know what makes a Shinobi a Shinobi Kai's voice asked out of seemingly everywhere it's not the chakra manipulation with hard work even a civilian can achieve that it's two things and one of them is stealth the ability to use the element of surprise to get to places and learn Secrets without being caught or as some use it to murder silently suddenly guy appeared behind Shikamaru and aimed a kick towards his head the latter barely managed to avoid it but didn't see the one coming at his chest it sent him flying over to Eno who caught him lesson number three the youthful adult started for once completely serious deception it is the other thing besides stealth that makes a Shinobi a shin be the ability to deceive your enemy to lure them into thinking they're safe when they arer to give them a false sense of alarm the ability to mask your true intentions the four J and appeared next to each other and started attacking the students Kuran night trapped them in another genjutsu but team8 were quite familiar with her techniques they managed to warn the others whenever they sensed danger but it was still hard in the end Naruto and kba started attacking each other thinking they were enemies and hanata and Shino were trying to stop them in the meantime assuma fought off the others who were trying to near kurai and Kakashi was using futon against Lee who had so far successfully dodged every attempt sasek saw this and remembered how his father once told him that Kaden was stronger than futon he decided to help the green clad ninja and started countering Kakashi's attacks with his own that helped Lee who started being in offense and tried to land a hit so far unsuccessfully but Kakashi was the second fastest Jan after guy guy himself aimed to punch a G who albeit not all that fast had learned his lesson and managed to dodge seeing that Kakashi shanin Ed and left Lee to land a kick at a tree the copy n appeared behind Cho G and put a canai at his throat kurai dispelled her genjutsu and gathered with Asuma and guy around Kakashi that brought everyone else attention towards the small group and their eyes widened seeing the canai at choji's neck lesson number four Kakashi started comrade sh the one thing that brought konaha most of its Glory I see that even though you are still getting to know each other you are already developing strong relationships in the end those who abandon the mission are trash but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash remember that so what do you do in this situation suddenly Kakashi's one eye widened and he barely managed to evade Naruto's punch from beneath he had hid behind the others performed the cage bunch in no Jutsu and had attacked from the ground since he had aimed at his sensei's jaw which was next to choi's head the Jan had no other choice but to jump back and let the akamichi go thanks Naruto said the saved boy no problem Choi the blonde replied and both of them stepped back towards the rest of the 12 the Jan stood there for a moment before slowly cracking Smiles you did quite well Kur andite complimented yes the Flames of Youth burn brightly within you all guy shouted guy sent say Lee shouted back Lee gu s okay that's enough sunade interrupted what would have been another Sunset hug coming from behind the tree with Jah I must admit BRZ you did well now we can discuss your training all of the jenon and the chunin were now listening they wanted to learn all right they also knew they had to take their training seriously Oro chimaru was going to be back that much was for sure but also because they were a special team to be formed the hokagay must have had great expectations and none were willing to fail as I said yesterday the program will be based on learning not only from your John and Sensei but also from your teammates every single one of you has an area in which they exceed and could help the others exceed too it is not guaranteed that you would be as good as said person in the area that most likely won't happen but the person will help you to improve then the only thing that will help you is experience now I will announce what I am the other senses think each one of you should train excessively and what they could improve on remember you can't be good at everything if you remain weak in one area you must know that that is what teammates are for to cover for each other's weaknesses quote they all nodded good now we begin first off abam Shino as far as we know you exceed in your Clans Ninjutsu but your Tai jutu is pretty average do you know what your chakra Affinity is he shook his head wait what do you mean by chakra Affinity asked Naruto based on what Ninjutsu the Shinobi uses the amount of chakra will be different as with the element the ninja employs the five main Elemental types are also the names for the five grape Shinobi Nations fire wind lightning earth and water each ninja has the potential to better utilize one of these Styles and maybe more the one you best utilize is your Elemental Affinity to discover what it is you need chakra paper the godam explained pulling out a package of said paper from inside her clothes if you want to know what your Affinity is just take a piece of paper and channel chakra through it depending on the way the paper reacts the Affinity differs Shino would you like to know what yours is I would hokages Sama although I'm afraid I won't be needing the information the insects in my body feed on chakra so I cannot really do anything about it I just want to satisfy my curiosity Shino replied once again the others didn't know what to make out of his honesty sure it was good that he was opening up but it was still strange sunade gave him a piece of paper and waited as he channeled chakra the paper ignited and burned to ashes you have an affinity for fire which is the most common one in our country the fifth explained very well Sho but you can't just survive on your Clans Ninjutsu you should improve your Tai Jutsu and learn to wield some kind of weapon tenton Could you teach him it sounds Ed more like a demand than a request sure the brown-haired girl replied she had always been proud about her ability to wield weapons but she supposed that it was time to share some of her knowledge with the others after all none of them seemed interested in exceeding in it and they were going to help her too thank you sho any objections no hok Sama good moving on akamichi Choi you two seem to be doing fairly well in your clan techniques but your Tai Jutsu needs a lot of work do you know your Affinity no godamn Sama but I would like to sunade handed him a piece of paper as he put his chra in it it turned to dirt earth type she seems surprised and fairly amused it is the most common one in Ewa would you like to learn Ninjutsu with it yes hok Sama then it is decided you should train your clan techniques separately at home and use them in a spar against the others while learning doen Ninjutsu and improving your Tai Jutsu all right hok Sama then we shall continue Haruno Sakura as my prantis I will teach you medical Ninjutsu and Tai Jutsu although you should polish your basics in the first and if possible Advance further I would also recommend learning genjutsu due to your Advanced chakra control although medical Ninjutsu sometimes takes up a lot of chakra if you learn a not so draining genjutsu then it may be of help I will also give you my Summoning contract in time would you like to know more about your chakra Affinity no hok Sama I think that the above would be enough for me also thank you Sakura replied very well then next up hyuga hanata to be honest you were never that good in your Clan's techniques although I'm pleasantly surprised to learn from kurai that you have improved do you know why well hok Sama now that I think about it it may be because my chakra nature is different most PE people in the clan are Earth types and if I'm a different one it could be the cause of my problems Let's test your theory out then sunade said while handing her a piece of chakra paper hanata took it and it became damp you correct hanata you are water natururin I think she had some notes for future Generations as she put it I'll search for them and if I do find them I'll tell you right away anyway train the same way you did before it seems to be working for you except that train your regular Tai Jutsu and Sweden Ninjutsu you could very well be the only one in this group with this affinity and you might need it in battle hi hok Sama next hyuga Nei I don't really have that much to say to you you're a prodigy after all continue with the hyuga clan techniques which I suppose you will use your chakra with and Tai Jutsu also I want you too to learn how to wield a weapon and adapt it to your fighting style it may come in handy any objections no godamn Sama okay then next in isuka kba you have your Clans jutsus and you are pretty good at them I suppose I think a weapon could be good for you too you have developed fast reflexes over the years of training in your Clan's fighting style and it could be really useful do you want to learn element Ninjutsu as well yes he nodded enthusiastically sunade handed him a paper and it ignited and turned to ashes after he channeled ch AK through it another fire type the fifth remarked since this is common only konah nen and not that much in other countries it could be an advantage any protests no Hokage Sama then it is Nara shikamaru's turn you have your Clans Ninjutsu and have the potention of a great strategist do whatever you can to train your mind do you know your Elemental Affinity no hokagay Sama he said and got a paper he put chakra and it turned to dust Another Earth type I would suggest you learn Ninjutsu with it seeing his Tai Jutsu and wielding a weapon are far too much Troublesome yes goddam Sama now next in line is Rock Lee Lee we all know that you can't use your chakra and I'm sure that your Advanced Tai Jutsu skills will be pretty useful but this is where I'm giving you a harder task I want you to learn how to wield at least three weapons by choice tenton I'm sorry but I'll have to ask you to take over the training of those who have to use weapons how many can you wield excluding Kai and shuriken I can fight pretty well with a bow staff Tanto Katana nunchaku and kusari Kama at others I'm pretty average but I know how to fight decent enough with over 10 weapons the girl stated all of the others beside team guy looked odd lee and Guy smiled brightly while Nei smirked tenton was not one to underestimate during battle even with the whole tamari fight during the tunin exams after that she had trained even harder and improved her wield at several weapons and scroll usage I hope that it won't be a problem then the godam asked looking at the girl with new eyes no not at all hokages Sama very well then moving on tenton you already summaried your abilities with weapons but how about those with sealing I know only the seals that I use for my Scrolls and they are storage ones otherwise I don't know anything really combat suited continue to improve your current wielding abilities in tautu I will tell you later what to do about your sealing abilities though next iiha sake you can fight with Kaden Ninjutsu and are quite proficient in tautu I suggest you focus on them plus wielding a weapon anything else hok Sama I don't think fire is my Affinity though could I try out the chakra paper the U replied the godamn gave him one curious he channeled chakra through it and it crumbled lightning Affinity then the fifth said press that is the main Affinity of Kumo nen very rare in other countries I suppose that Kakashi could help you there the copy n nodded well anything else no hok Sama now Uzumaki narut she made a pause Naruto do you know who your parents are no he said looking confused Shikamaru side this is so Troublesome and obvious your father is the yandi namazi manado I don't know how anyone didn't notice earlier you look exactly like him except for the face shape there was a stunned silence at the nar's words Naruto was gapping then he looked down at the ground and started playing with a pebble the others glanced at him worried why wasn't he excited good he said and looked up wearing his trademark grin then I suppose I could put my goal in another way I will surpass my father and become a greater hok than him believe it everyone smiled at his Antics and what about my mother then the Yi son asked oh that one is pretty obvious too Shikamaru lazily said her name was kosha Uzumaki wait wait as in from the Uzumaki Clan tenton was bouncing excitedly what do you mean Eno questioned the clan came from uzushiogakure in the warpool country they were distant relatives of the senju and therefore had great relationships with konaha the uzumakis were famous for their longevity and as the best seal Masters in the whole Shinobi world turned to Naruto the fourth Hokage was also pretty good with fuan Jutsu narut it must be in your blood she bounced again the weapon mistress then stopped and frowned when realization dawned her so that is how the kiui reached konaha with their seals chakra chains and long lives the uzumakis are perfect for being genui and I bet that your mother was the one before you sunade and Jah shared a look the jenin and chunin knew far too much about the night Nar uto was born for their own good excellent deduction tenton Right Said girl nodded at the Frog hermit's question in this case I would like to take you and Naruto as my pranes in fuen Jutsu I am currently the only seal master in konaha anyway sadly I must soon leave you because I'll have a mission next week until then tenton I'll give you the task to teach Naruto the basics and once he's caught up I'll give you a few scrolls with seals of variating levels of difficulty for you to learn until I come back do you accept the two jenin shared a look then grinned hi okay then sunade interrupted moving on Naruto you are ji as a prantis you will study Fu and Jutsu Tai Jutsu and I suppose that you don't know what your Affinity is she handed him a piece of paper the boy put chakra into it and it sliced perfectly in half wind nature then the fifth said this is the common Affinity in sunna you have people with all Elemental affinities in the group with proper training in teamwork and Ninjutsu you won't have to worry about those kinds of battles assuma wind was your Affinity right the Jan nodded I will see to the boy's education in Ninjutsu very well then last but not least yamanako you have your Clans Ninjutsu but aren't proficient in tautu do you know your Affinity no hok Sama here you go she handed the girl a paper Eno Chanel chakra and it turned to dust Another Earth type then would you like to learn Justice with it no hok Sama but I have another suggestion since I heard the story of how soccer's team went to the Wave Country I was wondering if I to could use senon needles too with proper medical education strike vital points even if I don't kill the enemy it might be enough for me to take control over their body plus if I learn how to apply poisons it can be even more deadly my clan has a few scroll about herbs that is an interesting request en know I think that shison wouldn't mind to teach you how to fight with needles as well as the vital points in one's body as for the poisons I think that shikamaru's father would gladly help right sunade turned towards the lazy chunin he wouldn't mind I suppose the Nar Shrugged okay then now we finished but that isn't all I'm afraid the four lessons you learned and some other will be applied in your training as well your John and sense have noticed Proficiency in those skills in some among this group therefore every week beside individual training and missions you will have lessons from your new teammates on one of these subjects I will try to keep the missions as short as possible but don't count on it I want you to use your spare moments for training and resting nothing more the subjects are weapons which will be lead by tenton the reason some of you were assigned to learn this is because they have to master a weapon for the rest they just need to work well enough with at least one weapon the second one is stealth which will be lead by Naruto for understandable reasons I press the blonde smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head there almost wasn't a person in the village that wasn't pranked by him over the years his stealth had increased and since it was vital for a Shinobi it was an important subject as well a downfall was that he didn't use it in battle though the third subject will be deception led by abam Shino I want you to teach the others how to mask their emotions or how to lead the enemy to believe something else Nei will assist you by teaching them how to read expressions and gestures the fourth subject will be chakra control and manipulation led by Sakura she has near perfect control and it will help you greatly and not only in Ninjutsu but in stealth and deception as well there are Shinobi who are able to tell where one is or how he feels whether he lies or Not by sensing chakra Eno assuma said that you have similar abilities but in a lot more earlier stage I want you to develop them with soccer's help the fifth subject will be strategy led by Shikamaru don't you dare say you won't do it because it is too Troublesome Nara or else the godamn sent a warning glance at the boy who nervously nodded no one wanted to be on the receiving end of the slug princess's Warth there will also be a sixth subject named Tai Jutsu I've noticed that there is a major lack of skills in this particular area you don't have to be proficient in it just to bring it to a decent level Lee please take this one over but don't overwork them if they do not wish for other things like setting up traps tracking first aid and such your John and Sensei will Aid you now I realize that some of you will have a lack of skill in these subjects you don't have to be perfect remember a team is created because you have to cover the comrade's weaknesses and they to cover yours so Aid your comrade and you will be aided as well with with that you are dismissed tomorrow you will start your first lesson on chakra control in a new Regiment of training rest because it will be a long day sunade finished her speech hi all the Jen and replied and went home and you she turned to the Jan rest for your mission it will be in a rank after all yes hok Sama and with that they vanished do you believe in them jariah asked the godam smiled of course after all I wouldn't place a bet for the life of me on them except if Naruto does that kid sure has a knack for gambling jariah remembered how the blonde one from a scratch from one of those Street lotteries yes he does I hope you aren't planning anything to do about it sunade smiled like an angel no of course not the Frog hermit just sighed the kah had 12 assembled on the next day at around 10:00 on training ground 27 it was Monday the start of a new and important week in their lives their first training session as a team Sakura had done a research the day before the meeting and had a good idea of what to do she looked at the group and decided to start with basic questions however she noticed that Lee had sat down away from the rest he didn't really need those lessons but had resolved to come just to be there all right I suppose you all know what chakra is in basic control meaning molding it have you done any exercises for control s sakur aan we've already Deone the tree walking e exercise with Kuran I Sensei replied hanata she really hated the fact that she stuttered so much but knew that it had to do with her lack of confidence although it had increased after the tunin exams she thought that those lessons and interaction with the others could do something about it that she could show them just how much she had improved we've already mastered that too remarked Shikamaru and we're already pass the water walking one remembered tenton so Team 8 and team 10 haven't mastered water walking we two have mastered it so I want you six to follow me the others wait here I have an exercise ready for you instructed Sakura and lead the two teams towards a small river near the bridge where team s's meetings were usually held Sakura explained how to do the exercise and told them to be careful in the beginging and not go too much into the water she told them to come back once they mastered it the pink had returned to the others and took a deep breath sunade Sama said that we should Train by helping each other out I have an idea how you could train your chakra control using weapons for now only tenton will be able to do it effectively since she is the only one who could wield a weapon well enough but I think that in time most of us could learn how to do it we could em be chakra and weapons but they have to be made by special metal like assuma sensei's knuckle knives I found out that although rare in on the slightly pricey side this metal is definitely worth it and there are a few people in konaha who could actually craft with it tenton your father is one of them but before you start making offers from his name I'm pretty sure that none of us would want your father to work for less money than he deserves together we could save money from missions and whoever wants to could buy a weapon of choice made by this metal first he'll need to master it what do you think it's a good idea Soaker achan Naruto said and the others nodded even Lee had come to join the conversation once he heard about the Weapons Part after hearing what it was about though he sadly tilted his head down Lee I wanted to ask you something the green-clad ninja surprisingly raised his head can you also tree and water walk yes yes I can sakur a San he replied please you don't need to add the suffix anyway yesterday I researched your problem since you can mold chakra I think that your inability to do Ninjutsu and Jen Jutsu is something else Ninjutsu is composed of one of the following nature transformation and shape trans transformation very few Shinobi can use both in fact sasak and Kakashi Sensei Chidori uses both nature transformation is actually an advanced form of chakra control it requires both molding and defining chakra into an innate type of chakra nature altering its properties and characteristics shape transformation is also an advanced form of chakra control it consists of manipulating chakra's physical characteristics form size Etc however this chakra metal does not require direct nature transformation nor shape transformation it requires the so-called chakra flow you literally just need enough chakra control to flow your chakra through the metal you don't have to manipulate it you just Channel chakra and it could gain the properties of the chakra nature for example wind natured chakra can make it extremely thin and sharp while fire engulf it in flames and thus incinerating everything in its path Lee what I'm trying to say is that there is a way to apply chakra in your fighting style tautu will remain your first and foremost weapon but if you do Master Three weapons and learn how to channel chakra through them Sakura's voice faltered and took a look at the Tai Jutsu user Lee was staring at her since the day he found out that he couldn't use Ninjutsu or Jen Jutsu like the other kids he had became the laughing stock of the academy after he had miraculously graduated and was placed on teen guy he haded started training non-stop with his Sensei so what if he could not use Ninjutsu or Jutsu he asked himself he was going to become an extremely powerful Shinobi regardless when they had learned the tree and water walking exercises he didn't know what to think sure he knew that he had chakra every living thing had and that he could mold it but his condition wasn't furthermore explained and so he didn't know whether or not he could control it later that day after his teammates and John an instructor had gone home he had tried to do a simple henge after yet another failed attempt he didn't know whether to feel relief that his countless hours of training hadn't gone to Vain or to scold at himself because of the former of course his hard work mattered he hadn't only learned Tai Jutsu with G Sensei he had also learned how to embrace the power of Youth still he had been excited when his Idol had started teaching him on how to open the chakra Gates even if he wouldn't use them often because even though he wouldn't admit it Rockley had always wondered what it would be like to use chakra in his fighting style constantly without much side effects besides exhaustion and now an opportunity awaited him he just needed to work a little harder he started crying from happiness and spontaneously hugged Sakura shouting thank you Sakura sa I mean Sakura may you youthful cherry blossom remain this youthful for the rest of your life Sakura was touched she was getting accustomed to Le unusual Antics and knew just how much this probably meant to him for he was using youth only two times in one sentence it usually reached Beyond four she hugged him back and when he let go he whipped his tears away and smiled widely okay then the teacher clasped her hands to together Naruto do you know about the cage bunch and no jutsu's special side effect the blonde shook his head the effect is that all the memories and knowledge gathered by the Clone returned back to the user you proba haven't noticed since you use it only for battle but it is usually used for stealth missions and information gathering imagine it this way you're training a technique which will take you one week to master if you create one Shadow clone you will be done in half the time because you're doing it twice as fast if you create two clones you will be able to master it in onethird of the original time since there would be three of you doing it narut had a thoughtful expression on his face Sakura gave him a little time to think she knew that he wasn't good with Theory slowly his expression changed into one of realization and he looked at her again okay so basically if I create Shadow clones my training will go smoother yes the pinket replied relieved that he had gotten the concept of it now all that he needed was to apply it however remember that you divide your chakra equally amongst the clones and that their exhaustion will also come back to you once they've dispelled Sakura stated now I know that you probably have the largest reserves in the group so you are the one that has most troubles with chakra control even if you have mastered the renon you still have to do it with a clone I want you to master a different technique one that requires smaller reserves and thus greater control make four clones please Naruto did his signature Jutsu and the five blondes waited for further instructions now Naruto what I want you to train is do the bunch and no Jutsu the number one surprising ninja visibly paled it had been that one technique that he had failed at doing in the academy every single time it wasn't even a Ninjutsu but a low-class Jan Jutsu if he didn't die after that he was so going to get aruka to treat him to Ramen Naruto wordlessly went away from the others and started training the technique he remembered the hand Seals All Too Well he had had enough nightmares with them the Clones did the same okay as for the rest of you Sakura looked at Lee tented Nei and sake you sake will be doing basic nature transformation for lightning types the pinket took out two pieces of fabric which SAS recognized as wool and a pair of gloves he raised his eyebrows at her don't look at me like that even though you've already mastered the Chidori which is both nature and shape transformation you still have to go through the basics to be able to perform other Jutsu I don't know if Kakashi told you this but lightning type ch can cut through objects like the wind one but there is an additional numbness to it the key is to increase the high frequency vibrations of your chakra if you master this and apply it to a weapon you could paralyze the Target and finish it off easily got it hn good now go and train you will try to cut through one of these pieces because it channels electricity that way you will know whether or not you could achieve the side effect nness once you could slice through it try it with a rubber glue gloves on in the other cloth increasing the vibrations the last two chiha went without another word now you three what I said earlier is true a special metal is required to use the chakra flow to its full potential however you could use it with normal Kay and shuriken it just isn't as effective here she handed them chakra paper let's see what your Natures are it turned out that tenton and Lee were fire natured while Nei Earth natururin Lee you know what your nature does Nei earth type can increase a weapon's defensive power and reinforces the inherent properties of the material involved in other words it could make your weapon harder I think that if you managed to use the advanced form few things would be able to not break under your weapon I want you three to channel chakra through your canai and shuriken with tenton trying with other parts of her Arsenal tenton Lee when you float chakra though your weapons and try to destroy tree branches start with thin ones and proceed with thicker ones be careful and do it near the river in case you start a fire Nei I want you to Flo chakra through one of your oldest and most uncherished Kai and try to make a dent in it with another one that you don't use once you can't make a dent in the one with chakra but rather with the one without chakra I want you to show me both Kai and tell me through which one you chanelled chakra finished Sakura the members of Team guy nodded and went to do their tasks the pink head decided to check on Team 8 and team 10 she found them at the River Bank the girls talking hanata was red so the topic was obviously Naruto and sheo staying a little bit away from them Shikamaru Choi and kba were still trying to stay on the surface of the water the had made progress but we're still having some difficulties Shikamaru was even grumpier than usual repeating Troublesome every 5 Seconds like a mantra or something kba was trying to get akamaru to try after all he couldn't just leave his ninkin on the shore during a mission and Choi looked saddened because his usual bag of chips had gotten soaked Sakura instructed the ones that had finished the exercise to help the others and she herself helped after another 15 minutes everyone knew how to water walk and headed towards the others the first one they spotted was Naruto he did look like he was making progress there were two bunching although they looked sickly Sakura told him to dissolve all the Clones and then work with the newly gained knowledge he did so and made new ones then he managed to do two successful bunchin socer had told him to try and make one and then he would be finished for the day next they went to SAS he had managed to cut the first cloth but was having trouble with the second the pink head explained that it was because of the glove he had to first channel chakra through it and then into the fabric so it was basically another layer she then took out a third cloth for hanata and told her how she was supposed to make it damp using chakra kind of like a preparation for future Sweden techniques sadly water chakra couldn't be applied efficiently to weapons because it would make them Rusty the hyuga ays wasn't planning on becoming proficient in that area anyway however the pinket explained that it could be used to sabotage the enemy's Arsenal Sakura also gave kba a leaf and told him to try and incinerate it explaining how he went right to do his task shig got the same assignment as Nei but he was to make a piece of wood harder Sakura told him to show her that piece later she turned to the others Eno Shikamaru and Shino Sakura said that they to train their reserves and that she was also going to train with them Sho Eno and the pink head all had completed the chakra exercises fairly easy which showed small reserves or in Chino's case great control as for Shikamaru if he had had bigger ones during the tunin exams he would would have won his match not that he wasn't promoted anyway but if it were a real battle he would have lost his life so the four of them had to continuously climb trees until they felt too exhausted to do so in the end of the day everyone were exhausted but glad Nei had managed to make a small dent in his second Kai Naruto successful one bunchin Hinata had dampened the cloth keba had burned half of his leaf and SAS had made a cut into the second cloth and tenton had successfully incinerated some small branches and even one or two with middle thickness and Choi had presented a harder piece of wood as for the other four the results of their training were going to be made clear After Time Sakura congratulated everyone and told them to continue their training M AK G at Harder after that they parted ways and decided to meet the next day for their first training in deception that's all for now if you enjoyed then please like share and do comments
