17 aftermath and aditional training

after dealing with Gato's remains, Kaoru and the others are taking a rest at Tazuna's house.

everyone has a bad expression, especially Sakura since she saw everything about how Kaoru killed all the thugs.

but there are three people who act normally, they even still have a gut to keep eating, and Kaoru is one of them.

"Hey, why are you all making a bad face, if you keep lamenting then everything will be eaten by Naruto and Chouji"

Naruto who fought Haku before got possessed by Kurama and lost a bit of his sanity that's why he didn't even remember Kaoru's massacre.

and for Chouji he is just being a Chouji, as long as he keeps eating happily that means there is nothing wrong.

"Sensei how could you still keep eating after doing that?"

"don't need to think that hard, just imagine you're making a chicken skewer of roasted squid."

hearing what Kaoru said made Kakashi sigh, he already gave up when it comes to Kaoru's randomness.

Sometimes he will be a very kind and rule-abiding Jounin, but the next moment he could turn into a cruel person that could smile while beating his friends.

"so, do you have a plan for your explanation later, Kaoru?"

"don't worry everything is under control"

Kakashi may look care about Kaoru but he just didn't want to get pulled together with Kaoru.

and there is no way Kaoru didn't know what a lazy person thinks, he has the laziest human in his team after all.

"let's just eat, we still need to go back to Konoha later"

even if they still have many questions, but Kaoru is right.

they will not have enough energy if they didn't eat after fighting like that.

----

"Now Zabuza-kun, I want you to work as a guard at this place, and if you have time please teach some youngsters too, I don't need to say the reason right?"

"I don't mind, but make sure you keep your promises"

"no worry, what I hate the most is breaking the promise"

"I will send you guys money for two years, and your identity as a missing-nin will be erased, just don't ask how, after that, you could choose to keep staying here or move far away"

that's right, Kaoru will let them go after two years and he will keep his promise, but if they chose to follow him that will be a different case.

------

what Kaoru forgot about is that Kakashi's team mission is actually to protect Tazuna, not just escort him.

that is why he feels like a fool when he is ready to leave but everyone told him that they need to stay for a few days

since they have free time Kaoru chose to train his team and also to train team 7 because Kakashi is too lazy to teach them anything.

and Kaoru also didn't mind it to teach the protagonist team, even Sakura that has so many haters in his previous world will become Tsunade's successor and the next strongest medic.

teaching them some Jutsu doesn't is a loss for him, and maybe he could make a connection with Sage of the Six Path because of Naruto and Sasuke.

that old man may be a bit stupid and a simp but his power is real, he started a battle that potentially destroyed the entire land just because of a woman.

he also drags his brother that didn't know anything into the fray.

but in the end, he make descendants with another woman and sent his brother to the moon to keep an eye on their sealed mother, what a kind person.

lets back to the present, Kaoru still taught Naruto about Rasengan secretly and what he taught to everyone right now is to skip a hand seal when using a Jutsu.

"you have to know that hand seal is not mandatory when casting a Jutsu, hand seal is just a way for ninjas to concentrate when they are molding their chakra to use a Jutsu"

"Naruto, Sasuke, both of you should already see how Haku uses her Jutsu right?"

both of them try to remember their fight and that's right Haku actually only uses one hand when she cast her Jutsu.

"When you want to use a Jutsu the first step is to accumulate chakra at some place where you want the Jutsu to appear, for example, you have to accumulate the chakra to your mouth when you want to use great fire Jutsu"

"and after the chakra is accumulated the next step is to change the nature of chakra into several elements"

"the next step is to imagine the shape of your Jutsu, this is when you usually make a hand seal and what I want you to do is remove your habit to use a hand seal"

"for low-rank Jutsu, it's fine to use a hand seal, but what about the S rank or maybe the forbidden Jutsu, they are so complicated and some of them have even more than a hundred patterns, you will die before you have a chance to use your jutsu you know"

hearing what Kaoru said makes them aware that the ninja battle is decided in a few moments or maybe a second, and if they need to make a few dozen hand seals just to use one Jutsu, it will be a stupid way to die.

the lesson continues and Kaoru teaches all of them how to imagine, since they are still a kid, their imagination is still good, especially for Naruto and Shikamaru.

the first is a simple kid and he will think with a simple mind, and the second is too lazy which makes him start to think about the most efficient way to cast a jutsu without a hand seal.

their training keeps going until the final days, and Tazuna finished his work.

-----

today all of them are ready to go back to Konoha.

but before they go Tazuna asks them for a good name for the bridge, he let them to chose the name because he feels grateful for them.

"me me me, let's use my name, Uzumaki Naruto, it will be a great name just like me"

before Naruto could make another comment there is someone stopping him with a punch.

"what do you mean by that Naruto, that's right you fought Haku but you lost and the one who killed the most is Kaoru-sensei, why not let him choose a name"

Kaoru got surprised since he never thought that a fangirl like Sakura could say something good.

"if that is the case, I will name it 'heaven piercing mortal ascending bridge' How about that, such a grand name right?"

no matter how long Kaoru waits there is no response and when he takes a look, everyone makes a funny face.

"I think Naruto Bridge is a good name, what do you think Kakashi-sensei"

"yup, Naruto Bridge is better"

"Tazuna-san we chose Naruto Bridge as the name, what do you think?"

everyone make an excuse to not chose the name that Kaoru suggested, even Tazuna who make the bridge feels the name is lame and cringe.

Kaoru who found that everyone is ignoring him, start to sulk since he thinks the name is cool and impactful but it seems no one has the same taste as him.

after choosing the name both of team leave the land of waves and start to go back to their village Konoha.
