Akatsuki: I Believe In You

Chapter 6: Training Day

The girl's all woke up to a delicious smell coming from the kitchen. They all hopped out of bed and let their nose lead the way.

"Hmmm....what smells so good in here?"-- Tenten said while leaning to the door frame.

"Ohh Miss Tenten! Tobi is cooking because Tobi is good boy."-- Tobi said smiling (although you couldn't tell because of his mask).

"Really? So what you cooking there?"-- Tenten asked curiously as she approached Tobi.

"Well Tobi is cooking scrambled eggs and bacon and waffles and apple pie."-- Tobi said while multitasking.

"You're doing all of that by yourself!? Wow that's impressive!"-- Tenten said surprised.

All the other girl's got to the kitchen and sat at the dinning table.

"Good morning"-- They all said while yawning and stretching.

"Good morning ladies, Tobi will be done cooking in a minute."-- Tobi said.

"Tobi, you're cooking all alone?"-- Ino asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yup, Tobi is very talented."-- Tobi said while placing the food on the table.

"Aww Tobi you're so adorable."-- Hinata said giggling while Sakura nodded in agreement.

The other Akatsuki member's joined the table.

"Did all of you sleep well?"-- Konan asked the girl's sweetly.

"YUPPPPPP! Thanks for letting us stay Konan!"-- All the girl's said flashing a smile.

"No problem."-- Konan stated with a faint smile.

The girl's couldn't believe what was happening they were having breakfast with the most dangerous group of rogue ninja's.

After eating and talking Yahiko sent the girl's to the training grounds so that he could give the girl's the ancient scrolls that possessed wood style jutsus.

"You'll be training with a partner so that you can perform the jutsu. I need to take care of some important business; have fun."-- Yahiko said as he left the training grounds with Konan.

"All of you have to read the scrolls first and memorize each jutsu. When you all know the hand signs we'll be here to help you."-- Itachi said as he walked of with Hidan, Deidara and Sasori.

"Well you guy's heard Itachi, let's get to study."-- Sakura said as she opened her scroll and sat on the ground.

"Ughhh this is sooo complicated."-- Tenten said complaining.

"Don't worry Tenten, I'm sure we'll master them in no time."-- Hinata stated trying to cheer her up.

"Yeah but look at this; each jutsu requires at least 9 hand signs.... it's gonna be hard to memorize them..."-- Ino said looking at her scroll sad.

"Well we'll just have to keep studying until we get it right."-- Sakura said while reading her scroll.

~°Time passed°~

"Ok, I already know the hand signs to most of them so I think I'm good to go give it a try."-- Tenten said standing up.

The girl's exchanged looks, they all nodded in agreement.

"Ok let's try it out."-- Ino said confidently

They all performed hand signs and exclaimed their own individual jutsus......

"Wow! I did it! I mastered the four Pilar barrier!"-- Hinata said exited while she jumped around in joy.

"Who knew we could use wood style!"-- Sakura said amazed.

Ino and Tenten grinned happily because they were surprised they could use wood style.

"I see you're all quick learners."-- Yahiko said approaching the girl's with a shocked expression.

"I know right! It's so cool!"-- Tenten shouted excited.

"Now you'll have to battle your partner's, be prepared. You can only use your wood style techniques."-- Yahiko stated with a serious face.

"Wh-what? O-on-only wood style?...But this is just our f-first try...."-- Hinata said nervous.

"I completely trust in your abilities, now show me what you got alright?"-- Yahiko said smiling at the girls.

"I guess we'll give it a try, but who are we battling against?"-- Ino asked curiously.

"Your assigned partners of course."-- Yahiko stated

"Aww no way! I don't wanna battle with Hidan! He's always bugging me."-- Tenten stated crossing her arms frustrated.

"He won't be bugging you, I'll keep an eye on him."-- Yahiko said placing his hand on Tenten's shoulder smiling.

*sigh*...."fine." -- Tenten said shrugging her thoughts off.

They all got into a battle stance while Yahiko called their partners. The girl's glared at their opponents coldly.

"No need to give me the famous 'Death Glare' Ino, I'll go easy on you."-- Deidara said smirking at Ino.

"Ohh yeah? Well I won't be going easy on you, so i suggest you watch your back..."-- Ino said in a serious tone of voice.

"None of us will back down just because it's our first time battling with you all."-- Hinata stated

The girls all nodded in agreement.

"Well then Hinata, hit me with your best shot."-- Sasori replied teasingly.

Time passed and they all battled fearlessly. The girls were starting to master their jutsus with every strike. They battled for hours and hours until they all ran out of Chakra.

"I shouldn't have underestimated you Hidan... you're pretty good."-- Tenten said while breathing heavily while sitting on the ground.

"I know...."-- Hidan replied collapsing to the ground exhausted from battling for such a long period of time.

"Itachi....that genjutsu of yours is very hard to break from."-- Sakura stated. "But still....I managed to release it quickly."-- she said grinning.

"I went easy on you.... that's why..."-- Itachi stated.

"Yeah right...."-- Sakura said rolling her eyes.

"Sorry for poisoning you Hinata, I didn't mean it."-- Sasori said handing Hinata an antidote.

"No..it's ok. I need to become stronger and I expect you to not go easy on me."--Hinata said while taking the antidote and stood up.

"Ouch!!"-- Ino said rubbing her knee.

"You ok? What happened?"-- Deidara asked concerned.

"One of your flying birdies hit me!"-- Ino said pouting.

"Well what do you expect? You were gonna crush my head with that wood binding jutsu of yours! I was almost gonna have my head smashed because of you!"-- Deidara said scolding Ino.

"Well I said I wasn't gonna go easy on you!"-- Ino stated arguing with Deidara.

Deidara and Ino started arguing about random stuff all of a sudden while everyone else just looked at them while sweat dropping.

"Cut it out you two! You sound like children arguing about who got the best candy on Halloween!"-- Yahiko stated breaking the argument.

"Yes sir..."-- Deidara and Ino responded looking at the ground.

"Finally.....well I suggest you all take a bath. You're not entering the hideout until you get all that dirt and mud off of you."-- Yahiko stated while walking away.

Konan went to the training grounds and took the girl's to their own bathroom. While the guys went separate ways to theirs.

They all came out refreshed from the shower and went to their bedrooms.
