Interlude : New Perspectives

"Hmph.. Fine…"

The man said nothing as he walked back up to the lecture hall board, beginning to write on the concepts of Earth and Fire chakra.

The hall was silent for the rest of the day

Natsuki

Gosh

This place is so scary…

Honestly, I don't know why Otou-San made me come here.. I mentioned I wanted to become a medical ninja once and he takes it so seriously

"..and so, to pass the left clavicle, you need to tie this artery…"

The stuff they teach is so confusing too..

"Uh.. Firu-Sensei? I'm confused at what you mean by tying the artery? Wouldn't that block it up?"

At least Firu-Sensei is nice

"Ah! Great question! What I mean is…"

Really, she's such a great teacher. I've learned so much from her already and she's been so patient with me~

I can heal a drowning fish now with my own chakra! Well.. with the help of Firu-Sensei, but she says I'm close! How amazing is that! I can heal things!

Maybe sometime I could heal…

No

No, even Tsunade-Sama couldn't help…

"Natsuki? Are you Ok?"

Eh?

Oh the fish..

THE FISH?!?

"EHHHH?!?"

Iwano

"HOOOOOOOOAAAAAAH!!!!!!"

"YES! JUST LIKE THAT!!"

Two males, one a small boy with a muscle bound build and a large, burly old man, who seemed almost as tall as a mountain, were in the middle of a rock outcropping outside of the earth temple

Anyone walking by would recognize the two as Iwano and Garou, the newly nicknamed "Twin Rocks". Of course, if anyone from Konoha heard the two, they would surely confuse the screaming with the Green Beast, Might Guy and a twin of his or something

Currently, they were lifting rocks. Very large rocks…

'"10000!!! I DID IT SENSEI!!"

"WAHAHAH! GOOD JOB IWANO!! SUCH A WONDERFUL STUDENT!!"

"Woooh! Thank you sensei!! I will make sure to make you proud of me by running up and down the beach 100 times!!"

"GOOD! HAHA! I WILL JOIN YOU!!"

Really, its uncanny how similar they were to Guy and Lee. The only difference was the lack of hair on either of their heads, with the exception of Garou's bellowing beard

Hopefully they wouldn't become as eccentric…

Fu

"Hmm.. So you're Taki's Jinchuriki.."

Eh?

How?

What??

"Oh, don't give me that look. It's obvious with the amount of fuss Taki has been making over you. The descriptions match perfectly. Seriously, who else has mint hair like yours along with that Tan and those eyes? It's basic perception skills"

Oh no..

Should I go to Sara? Maybe head Monk? Run? Whatdoidowhatdoidowhatdoi-

"Relax. I've told Head Monk everything and she already knows. Your friend told her already. We won't do anything to expose you. Even if we wanted to, Head Monk would track us down and murder us at a moments notice. I just needed confirmation so I know how to train you. Luckily, I have experience in training Jinchuriki like you"

"Eh? Really?? Can you help me then??"

Mou.. Why is she grinning like that?

"That depends.. Roshi and Han were already experienced and could take a punch… You're gonna need some basic training before we can begin, heheh"

Thats the look Sara gets when she's plotting something..

"1000 Push-ups on the side of the cliff, Right now"

Glp

'Help me Sara….'

Unknown

A dark tunnel

Dripping water

"The seal is almost done, master.."

A set of yellow irises, staring into the void

"Good, I've waited here long enough for my revenge against that bastard Onoki. Do not screw this up Lizard"

Slight shuffling

"Yes Master"

Fwish

"Kuku.. So much young talent in one spot.. A nice little bonus"
