Chapter 10

"This one will be an all-out battle. The first one to pin the other down for more than 10 seconds wins." Kakashi explains.

"Understood, Sensei." I nod from my spot a couple of feet in front of him. I wait for his signal and jump in the air as he signals for training to start. I grab four Kunai and throw them at him, he weaves and dodges easily; running at me as I land. I have to backflip over him as he tries to punch me. I use my bladed fan and stab his back when I land behind him. Kakashi poofs away; a Shadow Clone! I should have expected that. A kunai grazes my arm from behind me, causing me to jump and change position. I turn and rush towards the new Kakashi.

Small scenarios like this keep happening for the next 45 minutes and I start to get tired. I was irritated as I couldn't seem to get close to him no matter what I did. He would break out of my whips and dodge the vines left and right. I glare from my spot in the tree I was hiding in and watch as he destroys 1 of my 2 shadow clones. I frown even more when my shadow clone makes his poof. My eyes go wide as I scan the field only finding my mother and guards in sight. Where did he go? It's then I remember our first day of training and get what I hope is a smart idea. Well, only one way to find out.

I jump down from my spot, concentrating chakra to my hands and cartwheeling around the area planting seeds in the ground as I go. I then stand in the middle of the field and weave the hand signs, (add hand signs for seeds), causing my seeds to grow into a field of ivy with my chakra running through all the ivy I was standing on. I can now feel my Sensei's chakra just under the ground 5 feet away from me. I smile and walk over to the spot and stand there hoping for him to fall for my trap; he does. I feel the ground move as his hand comes up from the ground tangling in the ivy as he tries to grab my ankle. I make the vines tighten their hold on him and yank him from the ground. Smiling at the surprised look on his face as more vines wrap around his body. I use the vines to pin him to the ground and stand by his side watching as he tries to escape. He stops struggling after a while and looks up at me nodding.

"Well done, Kane." He tells me as I place my hand on the vines and pull the chakra out of them to let him free. I smile when I realize this is the first time I have officially beaten him.

"Indeed that was a very smart plan." Masao smiles proudly at me. Hogo-Sha and my mother nod in approval as they make their way to us.

"You did very well, Princess, I can see how well you have improved." Hogo-Sha gives a smile and bows.

"Thank you, Hogo-Sha." I smile proudly.

"I agree, I can see what your Sensei and Lady Hokage were talking about last night, where did you come up with that Jutsu of Kogosei?" My mother asks.

"Honestly though my chakra control has become better I am still having trouble sensing chakra so I was trying to come up with more ways to find opponents and made a blend of the Ivy trap and the vine essence link Justus. It does take a lot of chakra though." I smile and she nods understandingly.

"Come let us all rest and check to see if the caravan is packed up." The Queen says, reminding me that they will have to leave soon. I frown knowing that I was going to have to say goodbye again.

We are sitting waiting for the last bit of the caravan to be packed up, we are resting, drinking some water and talking more about my training when a Jonin makes his way towards us. He looks to Kakashi then my mother. I can tell he doesn't know who to address first, I smile when my mother stands.

"Can I help you?" She asks.

"I'm sorry I am here to give a message to Kakashi." He says bowing.

"You may," My mother says, sitting back down and the Jonin turns to face my Sensei.
