A ninja to remember

Surprises

"Ugh it's too hot!" Naruto called from his perch on my back.
"You can't complain" I told him, sweat dripping down my forehead as I hefted him up my back.

"It's good stamina training" called Sandā who was walking in front with the other two aldults. 'Oh yeah and like you have to do training holding those big bazookas' I thought to myself.

We had been walking for quite sometime now, stopping every now and then at an inn or a place to stay. I actually started to warm up to Tsunade. Of course, Sandā continued to train me and I could see she was planing some thing.

After the little escapade with Orochimaru, we had begun our journey back to Konoha. After letting Naruto heal of course. That dumbass jut had to get his heart stopped by glasses face. And I don't mean Kyoya, although I wouldn't mind meeting him. No, stop it Sora.

I had actually done something in that fight. I had destroyed the snake that Orochimaru rode. Ok that sounded wrong, but you get what I mean. Apparently though, when I was 'reminiscing' a weird shield had surrounded me.

None of the others could break it. Even Sandā with her monster strength couldn't break it.
 
"We should fix Kakashi sensei first then Sasuke" cried Naruto, knocking me out of my daydream, causing me to hit him in annoyance.
'Fuck Asshat just deal with Kaka-Baka. I wonder how Sakura is doing' I thought, pulling out my earphones and discreetly hiding them in my jumper.

I blocked out all sounds and listened.

This is a black, black ski mask song
So put all of your anger on
In the truly gruesome do we trust
I will always land on you like a sucker punch

Singing I am your worst
I am your worst nightmare
Na na na nana nana na nana
I am your worst
I am your worst nightmare

If you knew, knew what the blue birds sang at you
you would never sing along
Casting outcast this is out culture
These new flocks are nothing but vultures

Because they took our love and they filled it up
Fill it up with novacaine and now it's just-

"Hey! Sora? We're here" Naruto said, bringing me out of my song, making me furrow my eyebrows.

"Oh thanks" I replied, promptly dropping him.
"Well it's been fun and all but I'm gonna spend the next 72 hours in bed. Bye-"
"Oh no you're not. I need you to come with me. We're going to talk to Tsunade about something. Of course after she heals Kakashi and Sasuke" Sandā said, grabbing the back of my shirt.

"Meet at training grounds in half an hour?" She asked Tsunade who nodded.
"See ya Naruto" I called, following Sandā.

"Bye Sora" he called back.

Sounds of kicks and punches came from the training ground as Sandā put me through my paces.
"Ok good! Use your feet" she cried.
"I am" I replied, gritting my teeth.

"Looks good" came Tsunades voice. "Now sister what did you want to talk about" she asked.

"Right. I want to take Sora for some proper training" was Sandās reply.
"What?! No?! But I have to stay here and train and get stronger with my team-" I complained but was cut off.

"Kakashi and Sasuke won't be up and running for a few weeks. Where will you go?" Asked Tsunade.

"Well, I was thinking we could go to (whisper whisper whisper) and then if something bad happens(whisper whisper whisper)" Sandā said, leaning in towards her sisters ear.

Tsunade nodded at her sisters request and added a few suggestions of her own.

"What are you talking about? I'm not a little kid you know" I shouted, stomping my foot and pouting.

"Well I was thinking that I would bring you on a training trip. I was thinking we could go to Mountain of cats and then head to the land of lightning" Sandā told me.

"And how long would this take?" I asked.

"Oh not too long. About three years" she replied.

"THREE YEARS?! No nuh uh no way" I told her, folding my arms.

"You could get better than Assha- I mean Sasuke and Naruto combined" she persuaded.

"...ok let's do it"

'So power hungry' the two thought, their heads bending down with a thunk.

"Did I hear my hometown?" Asked Sherlock, so that the others could hear as he stuck his head out of my hoodie.

"Sure did. I'll be able to train with you properly" I told him.

"And king of cats, his father" Sandā said.

"What?! You never told me you were a prince!" I exclaimed, taking my cat off my shoulders to look at him properly.

"Oops?" He replied.

"So how about it?" Sandā asked.

"Yeah let's do it"

-a day later-

"Ugh why is it always too hot when we travel? I want rain" Sora whined as they walked towards the next village.

"Can't control the weather" came the reply.

Meanwhile back at the leaf, the remaining members of team seven stood before the new Hokage, awaiting for their mission.

"Hey where's Sora?" Naruto asked. Looking around for said female.
"She's left" came the reply.
