"Come on, you can not ignore me forever," Sora said seeing Kushina not wanting to talk to him. Kushina just snorted and forced on head back to the hidden leaf.

"fine, I will teach you the element fist," Sora said making Kushina smile slightly

"and you must teach me another powerful jutsu." She said with a smile, Sora sighed helplessly but agreed helplessly.

"it's like 2 days journey back to the village, lets make thing quick," Sora said as he flew forward, pick Kushina up, and placed her on his back

"you're afraid of height? your heart suddenly began racing." Sora said softly, Kushina who was caught off guard with Sora suddenly calmed her racing heart, before snorting

"don't go around grabbing people without warning," Kushina said with a slight blush, Sora shrugged before he shot into the sky while Kushina pointed the way towards the hidden lead.

a few hours later, Sora and Kushina touched down within the hidden lead and Kushina went on to go report about the mission, while Sora disappeared as he was just a clone. like hell, he would send his real body into that world to get lost.

team peacefully went by... for Sora that is. the war on the other hand was getting more and more heated, Kushina soon gained Chunin rank and was also being sent to the battlefield.

"Hey Sora, is Kushina around?" a black-haired woman entered the ramen shop. She was around 14 years old, she was called Mikoto Uchiha, a friend Kushina made on the battlefield.

"naw, but you see her tell her that using war as an excuse to miss work is going to her fired," Sora said calmly

"I was about to head out with Fugaku, we have a special mission. tell her I dropped by, she will understand the rest." Mikoto said softly, Sora nodded calmly as Mikoto said her goodbye.

meanwhile, within a forest Kushina was currently tried up by ninjas of the hidden cloud village. they yet 2 elite jonin to capture her, Kushina's achievement on the battlefield to this happening, plus her chakra and the 9 tails, how could they ignore her.

Kushina was covered in blood, the cloud ninjas were in a rush to get out of the hidden leaf. Kushina was training when they caught her, Kushina took her training seriously, and since Sora had taught her the element fists, she took the chance she returned from the battlefield to train. but she didn't realize she was being watched, Sora never taught him how to improve her senses and stuff, so she didn't notice them until it was too late.

Kushina securely ripped her hair, which she left behind for people to follow. mostly for Sora, all he would have to do is follow the hair, and with his nose which was like a dog, he could be able to find her soon.

But night fell and no one came to save her, she grew helpless. meanwhile, Sora stood in a forest while looking at the hair on the ground with a deep frown. He looked at where the hair went and was confused.

closing his eyes, Sora placed two fingers on the ground, with a slight trap, an image of everything around him for miles was mapped out, Sora frowned as he felt footsteps extremely far away.

trying to force on those footsteps, he quickly realized it was Minato. trying to see where he was heading, he realized felt 7-foot steps, 6 from hidden cloud ninjas, and the other from Kushina.

Minato flashed as he appeared behind a hidden cloud ninja, knocking him out quietly, before moving on to the next. in moments, all ninjas but the 2 elite jonin, but he was able to injure them with a sneak attack and free Kushina.

the 2 elite jonin quickly moved to capture the two as they tried to run away. with Kushina's current state she was in no condition for a battle against 2 jonin, meanwhile Minato as talented as he was could not handle an elite jonin.

"help me out this one time, I will give you all the food you want," Kushina said to the 9 tail fox who was calmly watching this, but didn't move to help her whatsoever.

"This seems like your problem, nothing to do with me. plus, Sora told me to watch my diet." The 9 tail fox said calmly, Kushina wanted to beat someone up hearing its words, this was a life or death situation alright.

boom

Minato quickly kicked Kushina to the side as he took a blow which sent him slamming through a tree. Kushina quickly lightning cover her leg as he kicked froward

the ninja heading towards Minato instantly jumped backward dodging compressed wind which went on to cut every tree in its path for as far as the eye could see.

Kicking the air, she flashed as she ran off with Minato who was stunned at her show of power. Minato didn't have many powerful jutsu or anything like that, but his reflexes were off the charts, even hidden cloud ninjas were hard-pressed to compete with him even with all their jutsu.

Seeing they couldn't outrun the two elite jonin, they had no choice but to fight. Kushina although injured bit her arm, and her injuries began healing but she was already low on chakra so she couldn't heal all of her injuries,

"I will handle the one on the left," Minato said as he headed towards the one with the lightest injuries, Kushina nodded as her fist turned black as if covered with metal.

this was a part of the element fist, the earth fist. the iron fist which Sora taught her, Sora may or may have not to token the idea for this from one piece,

the iron fists were covered with flames, as she kicked the air she rushed forward and began to fight against the elite jonin from the land of clouds. the two tried blows, lightning, but to the jonin's shock, Kushina's fist transformed going from iron to a rubber-like state.

the lightning armor around the elite lost effect before rubber, and as the fist slammed against the elite jonin, the flames exploded as the jonin was sent flying.

Kushina sighed as she fell, out of chakra. She had fought these guys for a while and put up a good fight but was defeated in the end. she had already come up with plans to defeat them, Sora did teach her to adapt after all.

Minato on the other head was being forced backward with every bow they tried, but the jonin could not land any real blow on Minato.

Minato suddenly disappeared revealing he was a clone this whole time. the elite ninja was shocked, before looking up to find Minato was shooting toward him,

Minato's appearance has changed as now had yellow irides and toad-like pupils, with orange pigmentation around his eyes. this was called Sage mode, a special form those who are gifted could train to enter, and once gained their power will increase many many times.

Minato's skill in senjutsu was limited and he takes too long to build up the chakra for it. He wouldn't normally use it in actual battle and he cannot maintain it for long.

Minato was of course shocked that Kushina took out a jonin, but she was out of chakra now, it would be harder for them to get out here.

the two fought and thought Minato was not as strong, his spending allowed him to overcome the strength cap, allowing him to counter every blow the jonin sent. but Minato couldn't remain in Sage mode for long, Kushina quickly began to try and recover her chakra. but froze when Minato was sent flying the moment he lost his sage mode.

Minato gritted his teeth as he watched the elite jonin reaching out to grab Kushina. but just as he was about to touch her, his arm was grabbed by someone.

"I think they had enough," Sora said calmly as he broke the jonin's arm. with a flick, the jonin was sent shooting into the sky, straight through the clouds.

"Sorry, i'm late," Sora said as he looked at the two who were looking at him in shock. a flick of the finger was all that was needed, this level of power was just too great,

Sora went on to heal the two before he carried Kushina on his back and returned to the hidden leaf. Minato could only sigh, he knew Kushina liked Sora and he could beat Sora. Sure he was slightly jealous, but he can tell Kushina liked Sora.

upon returning to the village, he went home while Sora took Kushina home.

"I didn't expect you to damage your hair. it's so much shorter now." Sora said softly,

"you must be so happy I cut it," She said softly, Sora's eyebrow eyes slightly

"I never said I hated your hair, you're hair is... nice," Sora said softly, Kushina's eyes widened slightly hearing these words come from Sora. She smiled slightly as she wrapped hers which were around his shoulder got former

"now without that long hair, you look like a strangely colored Apple or something," Sora said softly, Kushina was enraged and instantly head-botted Sora. Sora scream in pain as her hands tightened around her neck

Kushina angrily returned home, ignoring Sora who was on the ground while rubbing the bump on his head, which healed quickly.

a few days later, Sora sat before Kushina who was sitting with closed eyes.

"What is sound?" Sora asked calmly, Kushina thought for a moment before answering

"it's vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's ear," Kushina said softly,

"do more than try and listen to these vibrations, be in tune and listen to the air. everything causes vibration of some kind, from a twitch of muscles, to even a person thought. listen closely, listen to your heart beast, blood running through your veins, and your deepest thought. learn to listen to yourself, before you listen to others." Sora said calmly, that last part was some BS he thought sounded cool to say so he said it.

Kushina cleared her mind as she tried to do as Sora asked, she forced and listen to her heart beast. it was steady, calm, and relaxed. Her ears twitched as the blood running through her sounded clear as day. she tried to listen to her thoughts, but her mind was empty, but she quickly found deeper and more hidden thoughts.

Her hatred, love, fear, worries, and many more. she could hear them all, allowing her to better understand herself, as she opened her eyes. She found Sora was out cold, asleep.

frowning she found she was sitting here for a few hours, she lost track of time, sighing, and she woke Sora up. Sora rubbed his eyes lazily as he looked at her

"so slow," Sora said softly, Kushina's eyes twitched as he quickly covered her eyes.

"Why are you yelling?" She said angrily, Sora's eyebrow raised slightly before backing her sit down

"now you need to learn to control your hearing, or else everything will be longer and will overwhelm your senses," Sora said calmly as he checked the time, she took 10 hours to master this.

she had already learned the basics to master this, so it was quick for her, plus that clear mind, and her already high talent and sora teaching, she could learn this within a short time.

for the whole night, Kushina could not rest until she gained control of her Enhanced senses. it took the whole night, but she had gained control of it.

with heavy eyes, she looked at Sora who was out cold, Sora senses her eyes on him and slowly opened his eyes. Sora rubbed his eyes lazily

"what? you look like you haven't slept in days." Sora said with a smile, Kushina frowned slightly but she was too tired to play with Sora.

Sora laid her head on his lap, Kushina wanted to resist but as Sora relaxed his muscles, she lost all strength to fight back.

"you man was up for all night and day, that's not healthy for your mental health. relax and sleep," Sora said calmly as he took out his book and began writing while she went to sleep. Kushina smiled slightly as fell asleep,
