Chapter 8 : Chakra

Waking up, Sasuke couldn't help feeling that something was off as he shifted. Peaking an eye open -after trying to hear if anyone else was in the room first- he found this wasn't the dingy hotel room he'd fallen asleep in last night. Looking quickly to their luggage, Sasuke noticed the arrangement for 'Willingly-Moved' laid out on the floor. After he'd destroyed a hotel room the first time he'd been moved in his sleep, Ryuu-sensei had made him memorise what different bag arrangements would mean.

Quietly getting dressed, it wasn't long before Sasuke was standing over a rather odd sight. Ryuu-sensei was curled up like a cat on a sofa, while a strange man was curled around him like a blanket...

or a giant leech.

Bending to be on eye level with Ryuu-Sensei, Sasuke gently squeezed his hand until he woke.

"Morning?" Harry felt exhausted. When had he fallen asleep?

"Morning Ryuu-sensei. Who's the leech?" gesturing to the man wrapped around his sensei, Sasuke watched as his sensei blushed before trying to squirm out of the man's arms. Only to fail as the man tightened his hold on his sensei.

"Sirius! Let me up" his sensei finally hissed at the man -Sirius- before elbowing the man in the ribs. Both shinobi soon landed on the floor with groans of pain as the man tried to bolt. It was going to be an interesting morning.

Days after the eventful morning found Harry standing before the Mizukage, Glaring at Sirius.

"You didn't mention she was the Mizukage Siri!" he finally accused. Deciding to ignore the amused kage until he had dealt with his crazy godfather; Padfoot had dragged him out this morning, declaring he just had to meet his girlfriend, before proceeding to drop him before the Mizukage.

"I didn't think it was important~" Sirius chirped. Harry lost it.

"I'm meant to be hiding my ward in kiri for a month Sirius! HIDING! Not parading around before the villages Kage!" ranting at his godfather for a good ten minutes about giving him a heads up next time. Harry could soon be found sitting on a couch in the Kage's office, regaining his breath for round two.

"Potter-san, why are you hiding in my village?" inquired the Mizukage. Watching this petit man lecture Sirius had been amusing. He'd heard of the boy before, especially about the boys temper. If she hadn't seen the boy be dragged in by Sirius, she would have sent the boy to I.T the moment he rounded on her friend.

"My charge is sought by a rouge Konoha shinobi."

"Are you a Konoha shinobi?"

"No. I was trained by the land-toad summons." The three Shinobi talked for the rest of the morning before Siri and the Kage had to leave for a council meeting, leaving Harry to return to his charge.

Having gotten permission from Mei, Harry took Sasuke to one of the villages private training grounds. Unlike Konoha, Kiri kept the civilians and other ninja from seeing how they trained through the use of seals. Sasuke had been acting odd since he first woke in Sirius's apartment. Maybe he was just restless?

"What are the main chakra training exercises?"

"Chakra burst, leaf concentration, tree walking, water walking." Recited Sasuke curiously. Making Harry smile; Kakashi had mentioned most shinobi forgot about chakra burst when they passed into Genin.
