3 Training Academy and Cast Part 1

I am now out of the hospital thank God, and I don't mean the sexy rabbit in the moon, I would have annoyed the nurses but I want to learn medicine so decided not to. Inochi told my parents he will be helping train me in ninja stuffs and they looks really happy about that for some reason, who knows they are weird. Today is my first day of training with Ino and I am really excited.

"Okay I showed Ino these before but listen carefully and watch my hands, okay Sakura?"

"Right!" I reply figuring he's going to be showing me hand signs and I was correct.

"These are the Ninja hand signs, we use to create ninjutsu. In order they are BIRD, BOAR, DOG, DRAGON, HARE, HORSE, MONKEY, OX, RAM, RAT, SERPENT, and finally TIGER. I want both of you to go over them slowly for the next few hours while I prepare you next lessons okay? I will be watching."

"Hai!" We both reply and start slowly going over each one...for THREE Hours! Until Inochi tells us to sit down to rest.

" Before I start the next lesson I will tell you that if you get proficient in a jutsu you can you less and less hand signs, some ninja get so proficient that they need only one or none at all. With that said I will now go over each hand sign starting with BIRD, which is commonly used for Wind release. Next is BOAR which is a non-elemental support. Please note when I say Elemental I mean the type of release or jutsu the signs are normally associated with. Which bring me to DOG being one related to water release. Next is DRAGON while technically non-elemental is tends to shape other jutsu into dragons. Next is HARE on common in lightning release. HORSE, MONKEY and OX are common in both lightning and fire release. RAM is special being known for duplication. RAT is commonly associated with Dark or shadows, such as the Nara clans jutsu. SEPENT or SNAKE if you prefer is associated with lightning earth and wood release, last of which is only known to have one user. Finally the TIGER is a requirement for both Fire and earth jutsu so if you see this at the start those are your best bets. Any Questions or repeat?"

We both take a minute to think over everything but both of us are great at memorizing and comprehending so we say "No".

"Excellent I knew you both would be able to understand it, I am an excellent teacher after all! HAHAHAHA!" *Cough* "Anyways we will continue the lessons after lunch."

"Okay now I want you both to show me each of the hand signs as I call them out, ready?" "HAI!" "Good I will go in order then mix it up."

BIRD, BOAR, DOG, DRAGON, HARE, HORSE, MONKEY, OX, RAM, RAT, SERPENT, TIGER, DOG, MONKEY, RAM, BIRD, BOAR, BIRD, HARE, DRAGON, RAT, RAM, RAM, SERPENT, HORSE....... we did that for another two hours and I have to say my hands are killing me. Although I think we ended early because of what Inochi said "I can see both of you are starting to mess up the signs now so I will move onto the last lesson you will do together then Sakura you will be going home, and before you ask the other lessons are for our clan only."

"Okay looks like you both are paying attention so I will go over the basic Elements/Natures used in jutsu starting with the one you will see the Kanji of on the Academy, FIRE. It is the easiest to explain as it does not differ much from normal fire in which it is excellent at burning and heating. It does differ however in the fact it is strong against wind which brings me to the second element WIND. It is known as the rarest of the common Natures and is excellent at cutting and blowing away objects or people and is strong against LIGHTNING. Lightning is rare in Kahona but some do have it and it is known for increase in cutting as well but its strongest properties are piercing and numbing effects and is strong against EARTH." "Yes Sakura?" "How is lightning strong against earth? Wouldn't it not conduct well?" I ask actually wondering because it makes no sense to me. Inochi is surprised a bit at the words I use and Ino just says "Bookworm" as she pretends to cough. "Well to the answer to that is actually simple and you would learn it in the academy earth is weak to lightning with the exception of special types of earth due to the impurities in the earth itself, even if the jutsu produces said earth. Any other questions before I continue.....no okay."

"Now Earth is known for excellent defensive properties and is as versatile as its users while being strong against WATER. Water is of course strong against Fire bring the circle to a close and is known for doing battering damage because of sheer volume of water or slicing damage because of the water's high pressure. Now before I move on to the last part both of you have to swear not to tell anyone of this, not even your parents Sakura at least until you become Genin." We both look at each other then say together "We swear!". "Good normally Sakura you would wait until much later in the future to learn this but I asked the Hokage for an exception for the both of you to learn it together. Now these are chakra papers used to test your natures Ino already knows how to move chakra into others so she will demonstrate then I will teach you how to Sakura and you will do the same to the paper okay?" "Yes, Sir!" I excitedly reply knowing the paper is not cheap. 

"Please go ahead Dear" Inochi says to his daughter. Ino learns her Nature Types are Earth Release, Water Release, Fire Release, Yin Release, Yang Release. " As expected now I will teach you how to do the same Sakura". After being taught by trying to push my chakra into Inochi I proceed to do the same to the paper. My paper does something which Ino's did not which is gathering small fragments of metal towards it as well as the effects for Water Release, Fire Release, Yin Release and, Yang Release. "Well Sakura you are full of surprises! I know what release that is but I never thought I would see it myself!" Inochi exclaims a bit too happy. I ask " Is it bad?" not knowing for sure what it means but suspecting it could be Donzo level bad. Inochi replies " No it means you have a Kekkei Genkai a bloodline trait but one I never thought I would see in Kahona. You have Magnet Release which has the natures of Wind and Earth release. So it is really good!" he says that but I am thinking 'Oh so it is really bad then'. Ino squeals and says "Congrats Sakura!" I just reply "Thanks!" "Now I believe that todays lessons are over, remember keep your natures to yourself, especially you Sakura including you Kekkei Genkai, I will however have to inform the Hokage." "Okay I will see you both tomorrow morning, Bye Ino!" I say while hugging Ino lost in my thoughts about the future and how I got a Kekkei Genkai as I leave.

-Later that day Hokage's Office- 

"So it was as we expected then Inochi?" the Hokage asks.

"Yes Lord Hokage, Haruno Sakura likely survived due only to her Kekkei Genkai which has been identified by myself as Magnet Release, as you requested I tested both my daughter Ino and Haruno Sakura at the same time and told them both not to tell anyone of their natures." Inochi reports. "Keep me updated you may go Inochi." The Hokage says.

"The girl would make for an excellent ROOT member, give her to me." Donzo says.

"No she will be trained as an Anbu after observation and that is Final, she could be a great counter for the Hidden Sand Village (Sunagakure)." The Hokage says as Donzo just leaves and say "Fine." 

"Bird" "Yes Lord Hokage." " You will train young Haruno for Anbu, Inform Inochi and keep note on her personality.  This will be an A rank mission. I leave it up to you to." "Hai!"
