Training Part 3

While the duo were walking

Sakura kept staring at Karin,

Karin had already noticed Sakura staring at her for a while, but she couldn't just ignore it any longer.

"What is it?" She asked in a grumpy voice.

Sakura stared at her for a few seconds longer before she continued.

"How did you get that headband?"

"Aren't you from the grass village?" Sakura asked as she pointed towards Karin's forehead.

"The Hokage accepted me as a part of the leaf village now…" Karin said as she continued walking.

"It was all thanks to Naruto."

"Eh?'

"Naruto did that?"

"But how?" Sakura asked in a surprised voice.

Karin looked towards her.

"I don't know, how he did that…"

"I only know that I owe him a lot…" Karin said in a low voice.

Sakura was completely surprised, since she had never seen cases of other village ninjas being accepted into the village, by changing their nationality.

Not to mention, the Hokage himself did it at the request of Naruto.

("Naruto, Just how did you convince a Hokage to do this?") Sakura thought as she walked beside Karin.

Soon Sakura and Karin arrived at the Hospital.

"We were supposed to go to a room on the second floor so follow me," Karin said as she led the way.

"Mm," Sakura followed behind.

….

(Knock!)

(Knock!)

(Knock!)

"come in."

Karin and Sakura entered the room.

A man in a full body white suit who was a medical ninja guided the duo towards the two seats in front of him.

The medic took a look at the clipboard in his hands…

"You are Haruno-san and Uzumaki-san right?" He asked.

Sakura and Karin nodded.

The medic then handed over the clipboard to the duo.

"Please sign under your names, while I go to get your paperwork." He said as he left the room.

…..

….

Jiraiya soon recovered from the fall, after Naruto calling the room service to clean-up Jiraiya's nosebleed.

Jiraiya argued over how he would like to see Naruto's source of information for his sexy Jutsu and practically begged on the floor to show him the transformation again.

"No!" Naruto said in a firm voice.

Jiraiya felt his hopes die as he looked towards the floor.

He then looked towards the clock that was against the wall.

("We are running out of time… I need to train this kid…") Jiraiya thought.

"Naruto!"

"Let's Go!"

"We are going to start your training," Jiraiya said as he led Naruto from the room.

…..

Outside a restaurant…

A man with long white spiky hair in red cloth with a big scroll tied horizontally to his back stood beside a short yellow-haired kid in an orange tracksuit.

Jiraiya looked at Naruto.

"Naruto!"

"Do you know what restaurants and food places are good for?" Jiraiya asked.

Naruto looked at Jiraiya.

"Information?"

"Precisely!" Jiraiya said as he walked towards the entrance.

Naruto also followed him in….

Naruto knew a lot about information gathering and stuff, but in reality, he was only on the receiving end of the information. The decryption team and the intelligence departments would usually spend their time analyzing the information, and give a proper report over it along with the intact source information to give an overall idea of the situation.

Naruto would then read over these reports in the Hokage seat along with Shikamaru, who would draft out a countermeasure or a plan.

In situations requiring him to act personally, Naruto would leave the office and solve the problem himself, without going through any roundabout methods of gathering information.

There was also a technological difference to the communication methods. Thus he had to forget about all the advanced means of sharing information and follow Jiraiya's instructions.

Inside, the restaurant…

It was flooded with people all around…

People were sitting on the chairs, walking around, speaking loudly….

"Naruto!"

"First thing to do when you enter, is to take only a second to analyze the number of people and their attire within a single sight before you continue ahead," Jiraiya said while he kept staring about.

Soon his eyes landed on a particular woman…

("Hmph! Nothing really does compare to the kid's transformation earlier….") Jiraiya thought.

("I guess I can only make do with what I get after all that woman is at least not a transformed ninja or something") Jiraiya thought with a lewd smile appearing on his face as he handed over his bag to Naruto.

"Naruto, why don't you sit in a corner or something as you observe these people?" Jiraiya said while he still had the eyes on that particular woman…

"Hmm…" Naruto followed his eyesight…

He then also spotted the woman, Jiraiya was eyeing at.

("Sometimes, I feel granny is right….")

("He does deserve to get hit sometimes.") Naruto sighed as he took the bag in his hands and looked for an empty spot.

….

….

Back in the hospital…

"Here you go!" The medic said as he handed out an A5 size paper.

"Show those paper at the Village library."

"You need to have some basic knowledge before we go into any practical training." The medic said as he opened the door for Sakura and Karin.

The duo then headed out towards the library.

….

Hah!

Hah!

Hah!

Chouji and Shikamaru panted.

"Looks like Chouji has no hidden injuries all right!" Asuma smiled as he looked towards the duo who had just finished their training.

"Asuma-sensei…You promised…" Chouji said in a weak voice as he tried to get up.

Asuma smiled as he scratched his head.

"Looks like I have no choice."

….

Soon Asuma, Shikamaru, and Chouji arrived at the barbecue place.

"Welcome!" The woman by the side of the door greeted as they entered the building.

"Huh!"

"It's those guys from the exam…"

"They are eating barbecue, huh?"

"A reward for having trained earnestly… maybe?" Kankuro said as he stared from the top of the building towards the entrance of the BBQ building.

"I thought you were told not to let Gaara out of your sight…." Temari asked.

"You don't need to worry about him anymore…" Kankuro smiled towards Temari.

"Yeah…" Temari agreed as she thought back to the words Gaara said after the Ninth round.

"More importantly, that guy Dosu, what are we going to do with him?" Kankuro asked

"Dosu?"

"He is not going to surrender to you just because we are under the same plan of you know what…" Kankuro said.

"Hmph!"

"I am not going to surrender to him, that's for sure," Temari said in a firm voice.

"Then, shouldn't you be formulating a battle plan?" Kankuro asked.

"Hmph!.."

"There is no way I would lose to a guy of that level," Temari concluded.

"Beside you botched it didn't you?" Kankuro asked.

"I mean…If you had taken the exam one year earlier…You could have made Chuunin easily…" Kankuro said.

…..

….

Back in the training field, Kakashi looked towards Sasuke as he said.

"Use your Sharingan to observe."

Sasuke closed his eyes.

< Sharingan! >

Sasuke stared at Kakashi's hands with his Sharingan eyes.

Kakashi brought his hands together.

<Monkey> → <Dragon> → <Rat> → <Bird> → <Ox> → <Snake> → <Dog> → <Tiger> → <Monkey>

Following which He turned his right palm downwards and supported it with his left hand at his right wrist while he gathered energy in his right palm.

(Bzz!)

A strange electricity buzzing sound came about

(Bzz!)

.

(Bzz!)

(Bzz!)

(Bzz!) (Bzz!)

(Bzz!) (Bzz!) (Bzz!)

(Bzz!) (Bzz!) (Bzz!) (Bzz!)

Lightning nature chakra soon gathered in Kakashi's hand as he shouted.

< Chidori: One thousand birds! >

Sasuke watched the scene of the emergence of Chidori in its complete form as his facial expression slowly turned into that of greed.

Kakashi did not notice the expression on Sasuke's face as he continued to speak.

"This is the Chidori!"

"It is also known as the lightning blade."

"It is named so because of the frequency at which Lightning natured chakra vibrates at, granting the sharpness of a sword to the hand that grants the ability to cut through anything," Kakashi said while he maintained the Chidori in his hands.

Sasuke managed to calm himself down.

"Sensei!"

"Is there any other technique that you can teach me…" Sasuke said causing Kakashi to frown.

"What I mean is Chidori is good for now…."

"But can you teach me any ninjutsu techniques which don't require a learning curve…"

Kakashi stood up as he disabled his Chidori.

He thought for a bit…

"Sasuke!"

"I can teach you a summoning technique," Kakashi said.

"Summoning?"

"Is it weapons?" Sasuke asked.

"It can be weapons, but it can also be spirit animals," Kakashi said as he brought his hand together.

< Boar > < Dog > < Bird > < Monkey > < Ram >

< Ninja Art - Summoning Jutsu! >

(poof!)

A small cloud of white smoke appeared, slowly revealing a small brown dog, which was dressed up with a little blue coat and Hidden Leaf Ninja headband.

"Yo!" Pakkun raised its paw at Sasuke.

"So this is a spiritual animal?" Sasuke bent down as he started to pet Pakkun on his head.

"You can summon bigger ones than this, almost over a hundred times your size depending on the animal," Kakashi said.

(Whoosh!) an ANBU agent landed beside Kakashi.

The agent whispered a few words before he vanished.

Kakashi's expression became a bit tensed as he called out…

"Sasuke!"

"Excuse me for an hour or so."

"I have to go for a meeting…. Kakashi said as he vanished."

(Poof!) Pakkun also vanished as Kakashi jumped his way over in the direction of the village.

Sasuke stared at the empty ground in front of him.

(HOOOO!!!!!) a wind passed by swaying Sasuke's hair over…

Sasuke looked around to see if anyone was watching him.

< Boar > < Dog > < Bird > < Monkey > < Ram >

< Ninja Art - Summoning Jutsu! >

(Whoosh!) Sasuke had vanished from the field.

While no one knew where he went to…..
