Chapter 7: Training and the First Mission

 

Naruto woke up at the alloted time he wanted to the next morning. It was 3 in the morning, and he was very comfortable…especially with the fact that his love was laying on his chest, listening to his heartbeat…he was almost tempted to stay there in her arms, but he knew he had to train his body for the extra weight of the gravity. He sighed and he started moving…making Hinata stir. But he knew the perfect way to wake her up fully…he leaned his head down and kissed her on the lips…

 

Hinata woke up to the greatest feeling in the world…she felt like someone was attacking her lips with their own…only when Hinata opened her eyes, did she realize it was Naruto. She smiled and she kissed back with all the love she had for him.

 

Naruto smiled too, and he broke the kiss “I love you, Wind” he said, using their alias' even though no one was around…they had gone to sleep in their clothes, but not their masks and bandanas, they didn't need them in their own home…especially with the anti-enter barriers they keep going all the time.

 

“I love you too, Neon” she smirked at him and she kissed him again “is it time to go?” she asked as she looked at the clock that read 3:15

 

“yes, lets wake up the others, get some breakfast, then go to the training grounds, we have a lot to do, and only a short time to do it in…by the way, can you feel the chakra fluxuations?” Naruto asked

 

“yes, they feel kinda strange, but in a good way, its making controlling the chakra harder, but that can only be for the best, right?” Hinata asked

 

“exactly, with us constantly using our chakra and not letting our extra weight from the gravity pull destroy the ground or the beds, we are constantly cushioning our steps, that also makes chakra use hard, but it makes us more proficient in chakra control” Naruto said as they walked out into the living room, not bothering to whisper.

 

Naruto and Hinata walked to the other rooms to wake up the others. Hinata wok up Krymaru and Naruto woke up Gaara and Kogamaru.

 

As soon as everyone was fully awake, they all went and ate breakfast, talking about the training they would do…

 

“chakra control exercises?” Gaaara asked as he looked at Naruto over his bowl of miso soup, with a fried egg in it “why?”

 

“well, Gaara….wait, I guess I should still call you Vincent…it seems that with our chakra fluxuations, we should learn to control them, while they are restricting us, and fluxuation all the time, it is a constant battle of mind and body, but in order to make that more potent, chakra control exercises will make us get it down that much faster” Naruto said

 

“I see” Gaara said “well, lets get to it” he said after he finished the soup and put the bowl in the sink

 

Everyone else noded and they also finished their breakfasts and they walked out the door, securing it with booby traps, because they had started writing scrolls about the effects of the demonic seals, but the other reason was because Naruto's rom had scrools he had written late last night about seals that could be made, because the Kyuubi had been a seal master, since he was king of the demons.

 

They got to the training grounds they had been to at 4 and they started meditating, trying to build their chakra control without using their exercises. They meditated in a circle, backs to each other, for 30 minutes. Then they stood up and walked over to the nearest trees. They were doing the tree climbing exercise so they could concentrate their chakra as well as they could without the possibility of drowning.

 

All of them had enough control of their chakra to walked up the trees and stand upside down on a branch, Making sure their chakra stayed the way it was, even though thye could feel it fluxuating, and the fact that the gravity was pulling them down, they had to keep extra chakra in reserve.

 

Krymaru moved a certain way and created 10 chakra wires, making sure they were strong enough, he attached them to 10 kunai and he threw them into 10 different trees, he jumped away from the branch and held himself in midair with the 10 strings of chakra. He had to keep complete control of his chakra, it was a lot harder when making something solid, especially with the chakra fluxuations going on in his body.

 

The other four juist kept walking around on the tree branches, jumping from one tree to the next, making sure to land on the sides of the branches, keeping their chakra control going, and they made sure the extra weight from the gravity was cushioning enough, not letting the tree branch break under their extra weight.

 

For 1 hour, they controlled their chakra precisely, making sure even with the fluxuations throwing them off, they could perform the same way.

 

It was now 5:30 in the morning, thye jumped down from where they were, except Krymaru, who pulled his strings and made his ten kunai fly towards him, he caught them all in his quickly put up net of chakra strings, and then he made the chakra dissipate, letting the kunai fall neatly into the ground. He picked them up, wiped them off, and put them in his holster.

 

They sat in a circle again, backs to each other, and they meditated for the last 30 minutes…

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Ruffis arrived at the Training ground at 6 `o clock sharp, finding the 5 he was supposed to be teaching already there. Then he noticed that the five had been sweating, and the fact that they were meditating…he decided to stand by the closest tree and wait until they were done, but as soon as he started walking to the tree Neon opened his eyes, looking straight at him, with crimson eyes, but they were only crimson for a second, before Neon blinked, and when he reopened his eyes a second later, they were his normal sky blue ones `weird, I must be seeing things' he thought.

 

Naruto opened his eyes as soon as he heard someone ender the training ground. He knew his primal instincts were what made him open his eyes, but as soon as he saw it was Ruffis, he quickly blinked, making sure his instincts to attack were under control. He didn't know how much Ruffis saw, but he didn't want to be the one to bring it up. “good morning” he said, making the other 4 who had also opened their eyes to the sound of an intruder look his way.

 

“Good morning, Neon, ready to start learning water jutsus?” Ruffis asked as he looked from one person to the next, as if sizing up their chakra capabilities…'he'll be in for a surprise' Naruto thought

 

“I think we should start” Ruffis said, and they started learning as many water jutsu's as they could, knowing they had a deadline to make, they had to fight the Akatsuki…they had a bad feeling, because since there were only 3 demons between the 5 of them, then there were 6 demons they already have absorbed…making the already feared Akatsuki so much more powerful…they had to train `til their bodies couldn't take anymore.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

“good training session, everyone, I'll see you in the morning, same time, same place” Ruffis said as he teleported away from the training ground, leaving the demonic 5 alone…

 

It was well after dark…the sun had set 3 hours ago, meaning it was 10 at night. The demonic 5 waked to their apartment so they could take showers and go to bed…they had a good day of training, they had learned 10 water jutsu's that day, and they would come in handy, the water clone jutsu was one they had learned, and a few more, they would definitely learn more as the time went by…

 

The demonic 5 got to their apartment, disabled their traps, went past them, unlocked their door, and set up an anti-enter barrier and sound barrier. They took their showers, then they walked into the kitchen and made some ramen for dinner.

 

“that was a good training session, I can't believe how easy the jutsu's are” Naruto said as he looked at the other 4 at the table.

 

“I know, it seems that we are learning at a fast pace, I think we surprised Ruffis” Gaara said as he ate some of the ramen.

 

“at this rate, we will have to find a way to leave the area without arousing suspicion….and I know just the way, but we will discuss it when it is closer to the time to leave…I have to perfect the plan” Naruto said “I'll be in my room, I have to study more seals” he said as he took his ramen to his room.

 

“he seems determined to the point of foolishness, but he really is a good man” Kogamaru said “he is one of the few people younger than me that I would follow, especially as a Kage”

 

“yeah, that's why I love him, he is determined and has a great fighting spirit, he will never give up” Hinata said as she looked down the hall to their bedroom, where Naruto was currently searching Kyuubi's memories on the demonic seals. Kyuubi was the king of all demons, and he was also a master of creating demonic seals.

 

Hinata felt Naruto start molding his chakra, and she thought `what is he doing?' she then got up from the table and looked into the room.

 

Naruto had created a shaodw clone and was writing on it with his blood…when Naruto pulled away from the clone, did she see it was a strange symbol only demons could read, but since she had a demon, she could now read it…it said `blood'. `what are you doing Naruto?' she thought then it became clear to her…he pulled some of Kyuubi's chakra from his body and touched the mark of the clone's forehead, infusing the chakra in the clone…

 

The clone shuddered and he looked around the room, like he was a different person “nice place you have here, Naruto” the clone said

 

“it is isnt it? Try something for me, please” The real Naruto said

 

“sure, you made me, why wouldn't I do something for you?” the clone asked, smirking

 

“because you are a real person” Naruto replied

 

“ah, but you are wrong, im not a real person, im just a clone with my own chakra circulatory system, and when the chakra runs out I disappear” the clone said

 

“yeah, that's true…but what I want you to do is stab yourslef with a kunai” the real Naruto said

 

“that will not hurt me much, I don't feel pain” the clone said as it took a kunai and stabbed its left arm, letting the kunai stay in the wound, but the clone didn't disappear

 

“good, I see that you can bleed, and you don't disappear when you get hurt…that is useful” Naruto said

 

“hmm” the clone said, then the clone loked at the door and said “it seems we have company..”

 

“hello Hinata” the real Naruto said as he looked through the crack in the door

 

“hi Naruto, what are you doing?” She asked stunned at what she had just seen

 

“experimenting with demonic seals, I shouldn't be doing this in here, especially around people, but hey, I am doing this one cause it is in my memory…this is a blood clone” Naruto said indicating the other Naruto

 

“hey there” the clone said to Hinata

 

“hi” she said back “so what, are you doing with him?”

 

“I am testing his durability, he would be perfect for our escape…we can make the people think we are dead with 5 blood clones, looking like us, but we put them in a henge to look like a normal person and not a half-breed, after the funerals the mist will bury `us' in coffins, then the clones will run out of chakra and disappear” Naruto explained

 

“ok, so we have our escape covered now” Hinata said as she looked at Nauto with pride in her eyes

 

“yeah, but now we have to rest, im going to take a shower, and then go to bed, my chakra is now a lot lower now that I made the clone….not to mention the fact I'm still cushioning my weight with it.” Naruto said as the clone disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving the two alone

 

“ok, I love you Naruto Uzumaki” Hinata said

 

“I love you too, Hinata Hyuuga” Naruto said as he went to the bathroom, to take his shower

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

meanwhile, the other 3 had already had their showers and they had gone to bed, bnut krymaru was still awake, looking at the ceiling `mom…I miss you so much' he thought to himself as he sighed and tried to go to sleep…

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Naruto and Hinata finished their showers and wrapped up with each other under the warm blankets…not knowing what tomorrow would bring…

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Naruto and the others woke up at the same time, and they all ate breakfast together as normal, and went early to the training grounds to repeat what they had done yesterday…

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Ruffis appeared in front of them with a puff of smoke, 30 minutes late “sorry, but the Mizukage called me to a meeting, and he wanted me to tell you to go to his office, as soon as possible”

 

As soon as ruffis had finished those words, the demonic five, now called team white lightning, shot toward the mizukage's office. `those guys are incredible' ruffis thought

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Naruto and the others appeared in the mizukage's office and were debriefed on the mission “you are to go to the sound village, and find out what orochimaru, the snake sannin, is up to…I want information, do not get caught, team white lightning, I want you ready to leave in 30 minutes…dismissed” the mizukage told them, and they scattered….wondering what was going to happen on this mission…
