My Father is Kakashi Hatake (Naruto Fanfiction)

Chapter 18- The Exams with Ty-lee

I don't have anyone to dedicate to, but when I find someone, I'll mention you here when the glitch clears up!

"Good, but you can do better."

My words seemed to motivate the little girl as she shouted and repeatedly punched the rock.

"Use your chakra," I told Rosie. She hadn't mastered chakra control yet, but she is able to use a little in her punches. Still, even with the little amount she's able to use, it still causes some big damage for a six-year-old girl.

"Don't rely on the chakra," Ty-lee cut in. Rosie hadn't punched with all she had, relying on the chakra to do the damage instead.

Rosie, taking her sister's advice, gave it one more try. Cracks formed in the rock beneath her fist, and she smiled victoriously as she swirled around to face us. This was her first time actually putting cracks the rock.

"Good," Ty-lee praised. As Rosie continued to punch the rock, I let my mind wander.

Yesterday was the day we met the so-called Gaara, yet I couldn't take my mind off of him. He's eerie. His eyes give me the creeps. Sasuke seems to be interested in him, but Naruto isn't. He's actually quite mad at Gaara for not wanting to know his name.

Speaking of Gaara, his teammate, Kankuro, has been getting under Rosie's skin. Rosie has been training hard ever since Kankuro had caught her. She was mad at herself for being caught so easily. I mean, it can't be helped. She's smart, yes, and she's in training, but she can't beat an experienced genin.

The chunin exams are tomorrow, and dad has yet to inform my team of it. I'm starting to think that he's actually not going to let us take them. But, we still have one day left. I still have hope.

"Good," I praised. "You're definitely getting better. You can't learn this stuff at the academy."

"T-Then I'm lucky," Rosie said as she supported herself on a tree. She's drenched in sweat, and is trying hard not to show us how exhausted she actually is. Ty-lee went over to her and rubbed her back.

"Don't you think that's enough training for today?" she asked me, turning her head around to meet my gaze. "It's not like she doesn't have her whole life to train."

"You have your methods of teaching and I have mine," I countered. "Rosie, continue. I told you before, I won't give you any mercy."

"H-Hai sensei!"

Rosie turned around and continued to punch the rock, pouring chakra into her punches. Some of the punches wavered, and some were strong. She's definitely on the right track.

"Ty-lee," I spoke, "continue with your training. Go on and finish ten laps around the village. Make sure you have your weights on."

Ty-lee groaned and dragged herself over to me. "Are you sure I have to train this hard? Gai-sensei only makes me run five laps around the village. Besides, what am I training for anyway?"

"I'm not Gai-sensei," I told her, "and I don't want to get your hopes up, but if it actually does happen, you have to be prepared. Hopefully these last minute training sessions will at least improve your speed."

Ty-lee rolled her eyes and began to put her weights on. A loud THUNK! was heard, and we looked over our shoulders to see Rosie on the ground, unmoving. Ty-lee gasped and ran over to her little sister's aid, checking to see if she has a pulse. I stood off to the side with my arms crossed, watching the scene. Ty-lee sighed in relief before glaring at me.

"You pushed her too hard!" she exclaimed. "I told you to give her a break!"

"That's what she needs," I told her. "She's pushing herself to her limits, but what she needs to learn is to exceed those limits. I want her to learn that at an early age, just like I had."
