New Beginnings Part 1

New Beginnings.

It was one month before the Chunin Exams. Naruto was home in the practice room with Kakashi, Jiraiya, Haku, and Sasuke. Naruto and Sasuke were training, getting ready for the exams. Today's lessons were on taijutsu. Naruto had never beat Sasuke once. The young Uchiha's style was too good for Naruto to overcome. The Uzumaki style that Naruto used was good. It used quick fast circular movements to confuse and off balance your opponent. He had learned the style from his adopted mother Tsunade with the help of Shizune her assistant.

"You ready jerk!" Naruto had said to his opponent. "I am finally going to kick your butt this time." Sasuke just smirked. "Dream on, dope."

With that the two went at each other. Naruto threw several quick punches and kicks at Sasuke, looking for an opening. Kakashi and Haku just closed their eyes and sighed. They were going to kill each other if they weren't careful. They had been this way since they got back from the Land of Waves. Where they faced Zabuza Momochi a ruthless assassin Haku had previously worked for. He gave up his life to save the young Ice user from Gato's thugs, killing Gato in the process. Haku was now a part of team 7.

Naruto pounded Sasuke defences. When he thought he had him Sasuke would recover and he would have to start a new. It was the same for Sasuke. He would never tell Naruto this but he got a lot out of these sparring matches. They were both even Sasuke was only able to pull out a win cause he would out think Naruto. At about that time they both backed away and charged each other. As they met in the middle both throwing one last punch they both connected with each others heads and flew back at great speed. Naruto going through the wooden and rice paper door and Sasuke slamming into a wall.

In another part of the house Tsunade and Shizune were working on teaching Sakura basic medical ninjutsu and first aid. After the Land of Waves Sakura had realized how lacking her focus was. She had given up on her Sasuke fangirl thing and focused on her training. Tsunade had agreed to teach her medical ninjutsu, as long as Sakura took it seriously, which she always did. They were in the middle of their training when they heard a loud crash coming from the training area. Tsunade knew what it was, but left to check anyway. When she arrived with Shizune and Sakura in tow,she found her son on the ground outside leaning against a tree. A huge hole had been blown in the door of the practice room.

"JIRAIYA!!!" Tsunade yelled. His head popping up through the hole Naruto left. "Yes Lady Tsunade?" He said sheepishly. "Don't give me that Lady crap! Why is my son on the ground out cold and bleeding!!?" Jiraiya looked nervous. "Well you see, the boys were just sparring and got carried away is all." Jiraiya waved his hands in front of him, attempting to appease her. She kneeled down to check on Naruto. her palm glowing blue as she placed it on his head to heal him. "I swear I don't which is worse. Shizune check on Sasuke. Have Sakura help you." Shizune nodded and left.

Naruto had a concussion and two broken ribs as well as a few minor bumps and bruises. Nothing that the Fox or her could not heal given time. Naruto started to come to. "Easy there." His mother told him. "You got banged up pretty good." Naruto looked up at her. "Did I win..." With all his injuries and the only thing he was worried about was if he beat Sasuke or not. "You idiot. You need to be more careful. I won't be there during the exams and Sakura has only basic med-nin training." He smiled up at her. "Love you too Mom." She smiled at him. "Think your going to just smile your way out of this huh?" In truth it worked every time. After a few minutes between his fast healing and her jutsu he was as good as new Sasuke would be out for a bit. "Why don't you go get cleaned up. Hinata is coming over soon for dinner." Naruto quickly jumped up. "That is right. I need to show her the bracer I made for her with the storage seal on it." He quickly went inside to clean up.

Tsunade smiled at her son as he left. She rose and walked into the training room to see about Sasuke. Looking over at Kakashi and Jiraiya. "You two are suppose to be sensi. How could you let this happen!" Jiraiya swallowed hard. "Well you see....." He was cut short by a smack to the head. That sent him toppling to the floor.
