11 Obstacle Course.

About a month after the mission in the country of the waves, the next morning Genji headed to the training ground to train with his teammates. He wanted to invite Hinata but she and Kurenai-senpai had their routine and he didn't want to disturb them.

Upon arrival, he found Sakura and Naruto training in his way, but it was only a little warm-up.

"What's up, guys."

"At last you arrive Genji dattebayo."

"You finally arrive, I am delaying you so much," Sakura said a little annoyed.

"The truth is that the bed is very good, but sometimes I feel that my body is not comfortable if I do not train for a while, so who will start first?"

"I go first," Naruto told me.

"Ok, so Sakura and I. Today is obstacle training, we will set the traps that you will try to avoid." I told Naruto as he motioned for Sakura to follow him.

The training we do is to hone our skills through obstacles and traps. Each of us specializes in different ways to avoid traps, it is something that we began to do in the village of waves.

After walking for a while Sakura and I stopped at an obstacle course that they built together, with the aim that we can develop an improvement in all the skills of the team, to start the construction of traps let Sakura decide what to add to the obstacle course as he is specializing in traps.

In the first area, there are several wooden logs of different sizes and thickness, which make it difficult to step and move since the terrain is full of sand that increases the difficulty, we also add several shots to the target to qualify and improve the aim with shuriken or Kunai.

The second part of the track is the chakra control where we place a path using three huge trees that simulate an 'H'. Each tree is separated by a distance of one hundred meters and the tree in the center has the function of creating a bridge that turns left or right. With a height of 5 meters but as a safety measure we add mud if someone falls from the trunk.

To make it work, I asked a blacksmith days ago to create two bearings with a diameter of 80 centimeters, when the blacksmith gave them to me the bearings spent days drilling the trunk that I would use as a bridge and only a metal rod to rotate.

With the bridge ready, you simply add the Sakura traps that would attack every 15 to 20 seconds or in a certain part of the way. The participant has to concentrate as best as possible to dodge or repel the attacks that are thrown at him, but what makes it difficult is the trunk that simply turns and causes dizziness or makes it difficult to concentrate the chakra in the feet.

After completing the second phase is the third part where we build an infected platform, where it has drops, climbs, holes, and a host of simple traps that hinder the descent, but Genji thought this would be a good way to try to improve. For the third phase, it had to be done blindfolded and without using chakra on your feet or body since this is training focused on physical endurance and reflexes.

Genji thought for a long time about what would be the best way to train and without reaching a solution he met with the team and asked them several questions that they answered with all sincerity.

The first phase was created mainly for Naruto who has a huge amount of Chakra which allows him to move more freely throughout the area. For Sakura and a bit for Genji, it was the second phase of the race as she and Genji had a smaller amount of Chakra but better control over it. Ultimately it was for Genji who wanted to improve his and Haki's physical stamina, in the hopes that he would develop the observation of Haki himself.

"Have you finished Sakura?" Genji asked him as he approached Sakura.

"If everything is ready Genji," Sakura replied

"Ok, let me go for Naruto, while you do the Naruto report of the first phase and the second phase of the race," I told him as I retired and looked for Naruto.

After a few minutes, Naruto returned with Genji to start training.

Genji stood next to Sakura to observe Naruto's improvement since the first time he did the test, Naruto took the opportunity to cheat when he saw Sakura where to place the traps, and the best way to avoid it is to leave him behind to place the traps again and that he will perform the test one more time.

Naruto positioned himself behind the starting line of the obstacle course, ready to improve his past score.

"START!". Genji yelled at him from the top of the tree to get a better look at Naruto's path.

Starting Sakura pressed the stopwatch button on her left hand to take Naruto's time while in the other hand she held her notebook with Naruto's past data and watched Naruto closely.

Naruto upon hearing the signal shot out to the first part where he jumped from trunk to trunk while he held a Kunai in his right hand and the other he held some shuriken.

As Naruto jumped from a small log to a medium log and activated one of the traps where he has fired 4 small metal bullets from the ground the size of a marble.

"Shadow clones jutsu".

* Pop! * (Cool Effects). A small burst of smoke was heard showing a shadow clone that received the bullets but did not expect that while the clone received the hit another trap would be activated. Releasing a branch that hit Naruto by his right shoulder causing him to lose his stability and hit a nearby log.

Without missing the opportunity he executed hand signals to create three shadow clones that stopped him from falling. Regaining his stability he tried to move but was attacked once more by another branch, but using a clone as a protector he deflected the attack.

As he deflected the attack, he noticed the target shot to the side of a tall trunk, and with chakra in his feet, he jumped as best he could to get close to the target and threw the shuriken that was introduced in the lower part of the target.

Wasting no time he continued to advance through the first phase letting various clones take hits from the bullets and branches. But even though he performed the journey very well, he was expending a ridiculous amount of chakra as he continued to create clones as a barrier and even clones with shuriken transformation to perform various casts that failed.

It finally ended after 20 minutes, moving on to the next part where it was complete shit for poor Naruto who struggled to control the chakra in his feet, but the movement of the trunk plus the attacks he received was too much to control just barely. chakra on your feet and finally fall into the muddy puddle.

Naruto did not give up and fell into the mud puddle too many times that were counted and noted by Sakura on the sheet, Naruto managed to pass the test after 35 minutes as he managed to advance across the bridge because the traps ended in certain parts by the continuous use.

When he came to the end of the race, his condition was pitiful, he was tired, sore, and dirty. Naruto without resting continued walking to perform the last test where he picked up a sleep mask from the floor.

First, very carefully, he walked trying to get used to using only his reflexes, he walked a few steps while he heard something coming from his back and by reflex, he crouched hoping that something would not hit him, but the water balloon hit his head. of the.

Naruto could have avoided the attack if he just stepped to the right or left, but he preferred to crouch down and take the attack. After receiving the first attack he climbed a few small steps but once again he could not avoid two water balloons that thundered on his shoulder and face.

20 minutes passed after Naruto entered the last phase, he fell into a few small drops, many water balloons hit him, but he almost made it to the end.

The last part was divided into two parts, the beginning that aimed to sharpen the senses and the last trap was a 20-meter path where several traps with a rope attached to small bags awaited him.

Naruto walked with a little fear and in his first step a rope came loose letting a sack swing towards Naruto but learning from his mistakes he jumped to the right, but at that same moment, another sack was activated with direction to his right shoulder.

On instinct Naruto threw a blow directly to the bag using his right arm, surprised because he managed to avoid a blow he felt happy, he walked safely to the goal.

The sacks were activated with Naruto's advance, but each time he managed to defend himself or receive the attacks and everything so instinctively which was great since Genji created this part with that objective.

With a bit of blow and attacks from Naruto, he finally was able to finish the last part of the obstacle course with a time of 30 minutes and added to the entire journey was 1 hour 25 minutes.

"WEATHER!!". Genji said at the top of the tree as he held up his notes from the last test.

"HOW DID GENJI AND SAKURA-CHAN DO IT?" Naruto yelled excitedly to finish the test.

"VERY GOOD, I'LL GIVE YOU THE RESULTS AFTER WE ALL FINISH." He yelled at Naruto and turned to see his partner "Sakura it's your turn, get ready, just give me 15 minutes while I re-set the traps, while you warm up."

"Understood".

Genji came down from the tree and with the help of Naruto, they placed the traps throughout the circuit.

Genji collected the sheets that Sakura was holding to fill in the data he had collected, he used 3 timers to measure exactly how long it took them to pass each phase of the test.

Sakura started running across the ground and propelling herself with wire rope to hold on to various logs.

"Hahahaha I told him it was a joke about the spider-man, but it seems that he was interested in using the strings in that way," Genji said happily as he watched Sakura's movements swinging with the wire strings.

Sakura got off to a good start but over time things became difficult for her as using chakra on the wire strands consumed much of her chakra and her trunks and traps did not favor her much. She passed the time and she was finally able to finish the first test in 60 minutes.

In the second part of it, it was a piece of cake for her, but with the excessive use of chakra she ended up giving up in the end from exhaustion.

"Well, looking at the positive side of everything is that I can finish the first test."

"YOU CAN SAKURA-CHAN, DON'T GIVE UP !!" Naruto yelled at him

"Well, I don't think it is appropriate for her to continue as she spent most of her chakra to finish the first part and did not maintain a balance between her chakra and her physical strength," Genji told him.

"But why couldn't she pass the second half? I did it first!" Naruto asked him.

"Well, she had a good performance until she met up with Ino and different girls, talking about snot-related nonsense about Sasuke when we came back from wave country, and then she told me she couldn't waste her time training with us while some sows approached his beloved snot Sasuke. " She said to Naruto while he wrote down different data on the sheets.

"But we made a promise as a team and we would be stronger Dattebayo!" She told Genji.

"Well things change sometimes, I thought you would find out after Zakura stopped coming to train with us most of the week." He said while remembering what Zakura had told him.

Flashback of days after the return of the country of the waves.

Genji headed in the direction of his house after doing the shopping for his house.

"Hey, Genji!" They yelled at him from afar.

Genji turned around to find Zakura, who was calling out to him.

"How are you, Zakura." He told her.

"Well, I wanted to know if you had time to chat," Sakura told him.

"Well I wouldn't mind, but as you can see I have my hands full, what if you tell me what happens while we walk." She told him as he pointed his eyes at the bags.

"I think it will be better to say now than later ... I want to tell you that I may not have as much time to train with you," Sakura tells him.

"Well, I understand that we can't always get together to train, but just to confirm… Does this have to do with your crush?" I asked looking directly at her face to find out what her true reasons were.

"Well, not so much I just feel like I was training enough to take a little break free from training and maybe concentrate on studying some new material." She told me she with a mean serious face.

"Sakura we don't have much of a team," I told her as I stopped to look at her. "But I know more or less when you try to lie and your reasons are just stupid, but I am telling you as a friend so you don't take it the wrong way. Over this week we have had 5 missions and they have all finished early, Which allows us to have the afternoon off. Now, how many times did you train with the team this week ?! ".

"What does that have to do with it and why are you telling me that my reasons are stupid !!" I express myself with a slightly high tone and with anger.

"Shit, this is going on, I should have just told him to do what he wanted." Genji thought.

"What I'm trying to say is that in just this week, you showed up once to train as a team."

"I see, what you're trying… You're jealous that I'm spending more time with Sasuke than with you!"

Genji was stunned for a moment as he looked at Zakura's proud and slightly red face.

"HAHAHAHAH !!!!" Genji began to laugh loudly, "Let's see, let's see… What happened!… Hahaha I'm jealous because Sasuke's little boy has you at your feet, hahaha and I'm jealous because you think I like you hahahahahahahahah! ". He told her as he contained a few laughs in his mouth.

"What do you think is so funny and do not try to lie that I listen to everything in the country of the waves, as you told Naruto that you liked me and that ...!". He didn't finish saying as he blushed a little.

- I see, so he listened to me when he advised Naruto on how to try to conquer Zakura and what were some ways to talk to him -.

"Sakura". I said to her as I looked directly into her eyes and approached her, "I admit that you can be pretty your face, that light pink hair and your beautiful green eyes that bring me a lot." Genji thought as he approached a red Sakura, "But you just need something for me to like you and that would be ...". He stopped a few inches from her red ears, "You are missing the huge… breasts!"

Sakura went blank, first Genji told her that he liked some things about her, and then he destroyed her fantasies with a sore spot on her breasts.

"GENJI, IDIOTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!" She yelled at him as she delivered a blow at Genji, but that pitifully dodged with ease.

"Oh, but look at the time, forgive me Sakura but I'm already late, see you later." He said as she disappeared in smoke.

Sakura watched Genji's place as she disappeared and she couldn't help but be upset with her partner.

"PRAY WE WILL NOT MEET GENJIIIIIIIII !!" She let out a powerful scream that was heard throughout the block.

While the Genji clone disappeared, the original was only a few steps from his house.

"hehehe and he says that he does not need to train and he did not realize that he replaced me with a clone while he was walking hehehe he only needed to say to my clone that his attitude is a bit irritating at times".

"What's so funny Genji?" I wonder an Anko behind me.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!" Genji yelled at the shock Anko gave him by appearing behind him without warning.

End of flashback.
