Namikaze Naoki || Uchiha Itachi

Chapter 15

Kakashi was sleeping in a futon while the rest of the team waited for him to wake up.

"You know.. I have never in my life seen what's under kashi-sensei's mask.. and I have known him for a pretty ling time.." Naruto said out of nowhere

"What are you trying to say?" Sasuke asked

"Since he is completely out.. do you think we could, ya know.. sneak a glance?" Naruto continued while his gaze never left the mask glued on Kakashi

"Eh~ you want to sneak a glance?" Kakashi said smiling

"Of course, sensei is still.. ou-t..." naruto said confidently at fist but losing it at the end of his sentence..

"Sensei you're awake!?" Sasuke said in a bit of panick

"Sensei, just so you know it was all Sasuke's idea, ya know!" Naruto said and fled the scene

Sasuke shouted at the fleeing figure and went after him

Kakashi laughed at the scene of his two students playing around but the happy vibes went away the more he was in thought..

"Sensei? Something wrong?" Naoki asked

"Zabuza.. is probably alive and works together with the masked boy.." Kakashi suddenly announced

"What..??" Sakura and naoki said simultaneously

--

Upon thinking that zabuza may still be alive and that the hunter-nin was on his side, made Kakashi call for drastic measures..

Kakashi went to train his team in preparation for when zabuza indeed would be alive..

"Sensei.. why are we here again?" Naruto asked while the rest were wondering the same thing

"We're gonna climb trees but with a twist" Kakashi explained

Naoki, naruto and sasuke quickly figured out what he meant but Kakashi got a questioned look from sakura and furthered his explanation

"This is to teach you how to control Chakra. To bring out the proper amount to the proper area, The amount of Chakra needed to climb a tree is small, but it must be exact."

"It is also said that the bottom of the foot is the most difficult area to gather Chakra. So basically If you can learn this control, you should be able to master any jutsu. theoreticily."

"The second thing is for you to develop the stamina needed to control Chakra properly, Depending on the jutsu. controlling your Chakra properly can be very difficult."

"And a ninja will usually be gathering his Chakra. during battle while constantly moving. Those types of situations make controlling Chakra even more difficult. That's why, from this tree climbing, you must gain the stamina needed for this proper control." with that he finished the explanation

He then demonstrated and walked the tree without using hands, in fact he had crutches so even if he wanted to use them he couldn't..

Sakura and naoki looked in awe, and kakashi gave them each a kunai to mark their improvement

Naoki, naruto, sasuke and sakura started to gather chakra and all ran to a tree to climb.

Sakura was very good with her control, probably better then the rest of her team when they first started training

"Pretty easy" sakura smiled

Naruto and sasuke were even better, they were upside down on a three branch higher than sakura, but they had trained way before with chakra control than sakura
