ANBU boot camp

Chapter 12

The hours past slowly, Chief never stopped the counts just walked between everyone never saying a word, unlike the day before he did switch back and forth. The rain and wind never let up and people started to get very cold. It took longer than anyone had guessed, even Chief, but people started to all. Ino and Sakura were first, followed by TenTen. Despite her training with Gai she needed a lot of endurance training, Choji and Shika went down next, then Tsubaki followed by Hinata (for the record she tried to get up six times before Chief forced her to stay down.)

Then came Kurenai, who was known for her ninjutsu and of course her mastery of Genjutsu but the cold and wet, her stamina was never that high, the bingo book had her stamina at 2/5. Kiba went down huffing and tried to get up but Chief just put his boot on his back. Iruka went down he had held on because he had a lot of endurance from chasing wayward students followed by Anko, Raidō, and Genma all at the same time.

Shino went down about thirty minutes later, then Sasuke who had piss poor endurance and chakra control. Gai, Hiashi, Asuma, and Kyoko were still up, even though she had been inactive for years in her isolation just the memory of the nine other times she had been in this camp kept her up. Asuma and Gai cause they were active Shinobi.

Hiashi refused to fall..., especially before the two young boys.

Lee and Naruto kept a set pace, what felt like hours went by.

"Gai," Chief called and Gai jerked awake. "You and Lee have both fallen asleep, wake him up and both of you sit."

Without stopping Naruto looked at his partner he was, in fact, asleep as he continued to go through the motions.

"I have warned you before about letting yourself lose your focus." Chief walked to his daughter.

"If you kill yourself from Chakra exhaustion...your mother would never let you hear the end of it, sit."

Kyoko did not sit, she collapsed, as she hit the ground, soon Asuma joined her just not as violently. Leaving Naruto and Hiashi last, Chief walked up to the latter,

"Going to beat the Uzumaki?" Chief smiled.

"He...maybe...Uzumaki...but...I...have...more...experience." Hiashi panted.

Naruto was panting as well but Hiashi was going red-faced.

"Well," Chief smiled "let us just see."

Going through quick hand signs and a silent summoning had four massive Orangutans each one holding the corner of a massive smooth stone ninety meters high.

"You both know the drill," and Chief snapped his fingers. As the large apes put the stone down with a thud both Naruto and Hiashi went to it and putting one foot on it started to walk up.

To say Hiashi was shocked speechless that Naruto knew about the stone, was an understatement. He was even more shocked when the boy just went up it at a slow patient pace. Not to be outdone he to walked up the stone slowly, Naruto had a shorter step so Hiashi gained the lead, but about halfway...he slipped. He had to focus hard to regain his footing and slowly he continued one step in front of the other, Naruto kept the pace he set, his eyes a hard focus. Hiashi's foot slipped again, now fighting gravity and his own shrinking Chakra reserves he knew it was over he had barely made it past the halfway point when his foot released from the stone, he fell but just before he hit the ground he was pulled up by his ankle.
