Fur Raising Switch

Chapter Six

 

          “Now I’m going to have you three practicing kunai throwing.   Those targets lined up will be your focus.   Show me what you can do.”   Sarutobi steps off to the side of the three boys.

          “I’ll go first, sir.”   Shin said as he held six kunai’s in his hands.   He held them up jumped a little low off the ground then threw them.   Every single one of them missed the target.   He didn’t even hit the tree they were nailed to.   “Oh, man.   I suck.”   He laughed.

          “Next!”   Sarutobi says as he watched Shin punch a tree.   Shino stepped forward.

          “Yes, sir.”   He lets his kunai fly and they hit some targets but zigzag down the tree.

          “What?   He hit them?”   Shin complained.

          “Sasuke, your next.”   The man said and watched as the silent boy throws the kunai.   His smile grows when almost every kunai hit the targets.   “Who taught you to throw kunai like that?”

          “Me and Naruto were trained by two people.   My brother worked on our physical abilities like kunai training and taijutsu, whereas my father helped us learn and mister ninjutsu and ginjutsu.”   Sasuke explains as everyone’s face held shock.

          “What kind of jutsu’s did you learn from them?”   Sarutobi asked.

          “It would take too long to show you.”   Sasuke said.

          “I might have to get you and Naruto together to see your abilities.”   Sarutobi mutters.

          “Hurry and show me what you’ve got!”   Inoichi shouts at the eight-year-old blond boy.   The boy’s face held no emotion.   The only thing that even showed his were his blue eyes.   There was red around the irises.

          “I’m trying!”   The boy says as his speed gets faster.   The man’s eyes widen when the boy’s speed increases steadily.

          ‘How is this possible?’   Inoichi asks as his aqua eyes touched Naruto’s.   He gasps when he saw the red eyes with the feral pupil.   “Stop!”

          “Why?”   The boy asks as he moves even quicker around the obstacles.   “I’m not finished!”

          “Stop, I said.”   The man tries to catch up with Naruto.

          “Let me finish first.”   The blond growls out.   From a long way, a figure is hiding in the trees.

          “The boy is starting to feel the Kyuubi, konno yarou, baka yarou.”   He grins as he watches on.

          “You shouldn’t be this close to the new Kyuubi Jinchuriki, Bee.”   The Raikage says behind him.

          “I’m here, yo, to find the energy signal that is the same as mine.”   He smiles wider when Inoichi has to stop to gain his breath.

          “But this is the Kyuubi.”   The older man says.

          “But soon he will be one of us.”   He said.

          “Again!”   Fugaku said as he is training the boy the signs of a jutsu.

          “Yes, sir.”   Said says as he slowly starts doing hand signs.

          “By this time tomorrow I want you to sign faster, boy.”   Fugaku looks at Itachi.   “Now, you will be hardened by learning taijutsu from Itachi.”   He says walking off towards the kitchen.   The boy sighs.   Itachi looks at the boy.

          “After lunch we will start practicing taijutsu.   Then we’ll work till super.   You will practice signing till bedtime.”   Itachi says as he leads Sai to lunch.

          “Choji, just because you are my son doesn’t mean I will be easy on you.”   Shibi says as the plump boy stands in front of his father.   They were outside in front of the enormous forest that held a good portion of the Aburame’s insects.   “You know that you and the insects aren’t compatible.   We’ve explained to you that it is very rare for that but not impossible.”   He sighed as he looks at his son.

          “I’m sorry, Father.”   The chubby cheeks held tear tracks.   The man put a hand on his shoulder.

          “Look, I’m going to help you try and form a bond with one breed of insects.”   He paused and waited for his son to look up into his eyes.   “We might actually succeed in this.”

          “Really?”   Choji asks with his face full of hope.

          “Of course.”   He stands beside his son, they both face the dark forest, and Choji takes a deep breath.   “Are you ready, Choji?”

          “Ready.”   The boy says as they walk into the forest.

          “Hello, Hinata.”   Choza said as Hinata walked into the room.   “I’ve made us a hearty breakfast so we can go and start learning expansion jutsu.”

          “Ummm, I don’t think that I can eat all of that.”   She says shyly.   As she took a seat at the table.

          “Don’t worry.   I’ll be the one to eat the most of this.”   He smiles at the girl.
