Affinities

In Kiri

"So Chojuro, is it? How old are you?" Naruto asked curiously as they continued to walk through the bustling village.

"I'm, uh, I'm 17." He said tentatively.

"Relax, bro. I'm not going to eat you," Naruto said casually and got a small nod from the blue-haired swordsman.

"I, I want to thank you," Chojuro said meekly. If not for his good hearing, Naruto would have missed it.

"For what?"

"For bringing back Zabuza-san and Kubikiribōchō to the village. And for generally being a nice person." Chojuro blurted the last part. Naruto smiled at the meek boy.

"Nah, bro. They felt genuine to me and didn't know the civil war was over. I just delivered the news to them, that's it. And Mizukage-sama is considerate." He explained and Chojuro's respect for Naruto increased.

"So what is that sword on your back? It is different." Naruto asked and Chojuro smiled at him.

"This is Hiramekarei, one of the seven swords," Chojuro said in a hushed tone. Naruto followed suit and asked in a hushed tone.

"Can I see it?" He asked with gleaming eyes. Chojuro gave him a wide smile with a nod. They cut into a small side alley to see the sword and Chojuro took it from his back and undid the bandages.

The sword, Hiramekarei, features a wide, flat blade with two curved indentations near its base, creating a sort of cross-guard.

Two handles are connected by a short length of cord, making it a "twin sword". The overall sword looks like a flounder fish in shape.

Naruto touched and the weight of the sword is not normal. Though not as heavy as Zabuza's, Hiramekarei also has a good weight to it and sending his chakra through it, Naruto understood how the sword works.

One of the benefits of the ritual is his sensitivity to chakra. He can 'feel' things now if he sends his chakra through it and it was amazing, to say the least.

Just sending chakra to pass time told him many stories that were not usually known about the trees and the ship he came in. Though he is not a sensor, he knew he would get there sometime.

"It is beautiful. Thank you, Chojuro." Naruto said with a smile and the blue-haired Jonin's smile widened at that. Naruto's stomach chose that moment to interrupt.

"Um, I'm hungry," Naruto said with an embarrassed blush and Chojuro smiled at that.

"I know this restaurant that makes good seafood, come let's go." He said and guided them through the constructing town while an Anbu squad followed them.

'Report captain that things are alright and he saw Hiramekarei. Ask for a further course of action.' They said in sign language and one of the 3 vanished to report.

In Konoha

"So guys, are you ready?" Kakashi asked a quarrelling duo and a spectator. Ino started arguing about the unfairness and Shikamaru's troublesome comment didn't help.

Ino started yelling at Shikamaru for being lazy and pointing out that they are busy with their clan jutsu for the man to teach them chakra natures.

"And Ino, they completed Water Walking while we didn't. Sensei already told us he will show us our chakra natures when we master that." Choji added his input from the side, munching some chips.

"Gah. It's useless arguing with you two!" She gave up. That's when Kakashi chose to speak as he was mercilessly ignored till now.

"I got something for you. Are you good at weapons?" He asked and Ino got a hungry gleam in her eyes. Shikamaru and Choji moved away from her.

Kakashi for some reason felt that he was doing something forbidden and with a gulp, he explained.

"I know you are good at teamwork as it is passed down for generations in your families. You have your clan Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. So I'm not going deep into that.

How good are you with weapons? Like Kunai, Shuriken, Staff, Sword. It can be anything as long as you are proficient in using it. So take your kunai and fight one on one with my clones." He said 3 clones formed in front of them and Team 10 was surprised.

Sakura and Sasuke gave a superior smirk as they saw Naruto make 10s of those same clones with ease. Asuma continued his explanation as the ruckus from his team mellowed.

"Let me explain how this works. I'll give you this paper and when you channel your chakra into it, based on the element, the paper reacts.

If you have a Fire affinity, the paper will catch on fire and turn into ash. If you have Wind affinity, the paper will split in half. For Lightning, it will wrinkle. For Earth, it will turn to dirt and crumble away and lastly for Water, it will become damp. Is this clear?" Asuma asked, taking a deep puff and Team 7 nodded.

"Ladies first, Sakura." He called, giving the paper to the pink-haired girl. She was nervous, but looking at a confident-looking Naruto and somewhat excited Sasuke, she channelled her chakra into it. It turned to dirt and crumbled with the edges getting a bit damp. The pink-haired girl missed it.

"You have Earth as your primary affinity and I can see a bit of water at the edge, so water may be your secondary one," Asuma said with a smile.

Sakura's face brightened at that. She assumed that having one element is great as most Shinobi have one, but hearing that she had a second budding affinity made her day.

With a bright smile, she walked back to her team while Sasuke passed her to find his.
