New Team Gathers and Training begins

The next day, Naruto woke up and heading to the training ground. He has already packed his lunch. His silky blonde hairs are just falling till his eyebrows. He is wearing grey pants, a white shirt and a black jacket over it. Along with natural charm from his natural energy mastery, he looks dashing. He heads toward the training ground after locking his house.

Hinata comes just on time as usual. Both of them lay down the mat and get ready to have breakfast. Just as they are about to begin, Sasuke arrived.

"Hey, Sasuke. Come, have some breakfast.", said Naruto.

This time Sasuke didn't decline the invitation and joined them. Naruto served the food and they started eating. Sasuke has never eaten so delicious food before but he tried to maintain his poker face.

"So, how are you? Have you thought through and ready to join the team?", said Naruto.

"Yes, but tell me what you know about that day? Why did he do that?", said Sasuke. He didn't want to join them but he doesn't have a choice. He will just be with them until they are useful.

"Sorry. That's for you to find out. I think finding it yourself instead of believing what others say is not good. Remember this, sometimes what you see and hear is not true.", said Naruto. He knows what Sasuke is thinking. But he doesn't care as long as Sasuke doesn't harm him or Hinata.

"Yes. Just like you. Who knew that you are so powerful? How did you do it?", said Sasuke.

"It's the first rule of being a Ninja, never show all your cards unless necessary and your life depends on it.", said Naruto.

"So, it was not all your power. You were still hiding some power.", said Sasuke.

Naruto looks towards Hinata and said, "Who knows?"

Just like that time passed. They talked about some training ways and academy days while waiting for Kakashi. Hinata mostly stays quiet. She knows Naruto doesn't trust Sasuke yet so, she maintains a distance.

After a long time, Kakashi comes with his usual late excuses.

"Looks like you guys made up. So let's talk about what happened yesterday.", said Kakashi.

"We passed the exam. What are you talking about now?", said Naruto.

"I am asking about you two using Taijutsu way higher than the academy level."

"Oh, that. We both have been training under Guy sensei, the strongest Taijutsu user in Konoha."

"Why would Guy train you guys? He has his own team to train."

"Well, that's because we have a bright flame of youth burning inside us. Let's talk about training and missions we have to do from now on."

"Fine. You guys will be doing D-rank missions and training in the free time. Let's talk about your strengths and how to make up your weaknesses."

"Ok. Hinata and I are skilled in Taijutsu. We don't know any Ninjutsu besides that taught in the academy. As for what we want to learn is Medical Ninjutsu first."

"Oh, that's rare. Why? Do you want to be a medic-nin?"

"First, a medic-nin in the team will increase our chances of survival by a lot. Hinata will be our team's medic-nin. I believe with her talent she can quickly reach Tsunade's level. Tsunade despite being a medic is known to be the strongest kunoichi. Hinata has Byakugan which is like a boon for medic-nin. As for me, I will be learning it for emergencies."

"Well, that's good. You are thinking long term."

"We would like you to teach us some Ninjutsu. After all, who is better than copy ninja Kakashi, the ninja known to copy thousands of Jutsus."

"You know about this too. I am not surprised. What I have observed, you are very good at gathering information."

"Thank you. That's all for our training. As for Sasuke's training, you have to ask him."

Naruto doesn't know what Kakashi is thinking, but He doesn't care he won't allow his path to becoming strong to be disrupted. Kakashi looks toward Sasuke and asks for him to speak.

"I want to train in both Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. I will not allow myself to lose again.", said Sasuke.

Kakashi thinks a little and started speaking, "Medical ninjutsu needs talent so, I don't know how much you can learn. As for Ninjutsu training, we will start slowly. I will talk with hospital to allow you to learn. You have to do at least 2 missions a week. We will do our first mission tomorrow. Good, that's it for today."

--------------

After separated and sensing that no one is following them, Naruto speaks to Hinata, "Hinata don't use Shadow clone for missions. You can use the clone for practice at home and hospital. Don't burden yourself. I will be sending a clone to be with you all the time from now on. I will be training my body."

"Naruto. You shouldn't train so much and take care of yourself more."

"Nah. I have you for taking care of me. I won't overdo it. Don't worry. You focus on learning medical techniques as soon as possible. We have a year before the shit happens. I don't want you to get hurt."

"I will Naruto."

"That's my Hinata." *smooch*
