It's been a week since the team made it to Tazuna house. Sasuke, Naruto and Hinata were all outside in the woods where Kota would be teaching them while Kakashi is on bed rest.
"Alright, we'll be learning another Chakra exercise. The only difference is you'll be only using your feet. I'll show you." Kota said as he was walking up a tree without using his hands. "Wow that cool!" Naruto yelled in amazement. "Alright here use your kunai's to mark how high you go. Once you reached the top of the trees do it all over again until you really get the hang of it." Kota said throwing them kunai's. After they got in front of three tall trees with barely any branches on. "Let's make this even more fun shall we guys." Naruto said with a sly smile. "What do you have in mind dobe?" Sasuke asked. Hinata already knew what was gonna happen but kept quite to see how this play out. "Well Uchiha, whoever wins has the title of being the leader for our team." Naruto said surprising Kota, sasuke and Kakumi. "Mistress is he serious?" Kakumi questioned from inside hinata. 'Yes he is. I'm closing off our connection for a while Kakumi.' Hinata thought back ending the conversation and the connection the two have. "But you have Kurama to help you out. That wouldn't be fair." Sasuke said annoyed and coldly. "Ah your right. Kota-san can you please seal off my connection to Kurama." Naruto said surprising Sasuke once again. 'Sure but it'll take about four weeks until I can take the seal off since kurama and kakumi are demons." Kota said before doing hand signs and slamming his plans into hinata stomach and naruto back. "Give it some time though. You both just lost 45% of your Chakra." Kota said before heading up into the trees and watching the group. "Ready... Set.. Go!" Naruto yelled grabbing his kunai and running up the tree. Hinata was making it father than the boys making Sasuke angry. "Naruto your putting to much Chakra... no now you need more... less now." Hinata said as she was helping Naruto out making Sasuke even more mad. By the end of the day hinata had finished the tree climbing and began working on her own jutsu some where else in the forest. It took Naruto and Sasuke all the way until dinner to complete it and Naruto had won the bet. "Looks like Naruto is the leader of the team." Kota said boredly while drawing a picture. "Awesome! I will not fail you guys!" Naruto said excitedly. Sasuke was upset and walked away ignoring his teammates looks. "Good job Narto-kun knew you could do it!" Hinata said smiling. "Yes well. Being the leader comes with great responsibility. Anyways tomorrow Hinata will come with me to guard Tazuna, then sasuke and then Naruto, until he finished the bridge, alright??" Kota said/asked getting no complaints from the other two. As they continue their own training.
