"So what did you and Sasuke talk about?" Shikamaru questioned as I walked back in and saw that the rest of them had gone home since the party had been held at the Nara compound.
"Nothing much they apologised and I gave Sasuke some training tips don't worry" I lied and kissed him gently before pulling back and he sighed a little, his arms wrapped around me.
"You're lying I can tell.....But I won't force you to tell me" Shikamaru sighed and I smiled a little at him.
"Yeah, I promise you Shikamaru that one day I will tell you everything but right now is not that time okay?" I said looking at him hoping he would listen.
"I am going to trust you Kuroki, simply because I love you and I know you have a reason for everything you do" Shikamaru said and I nodded.
"I am going to head out now, I want to sleep in my own bed for the first time in a long time but I will see you tomorrow Lady Tsunade and Sarutobi have asked me to help you guys train a little" I said and he nodded as he touched his forehead to mine.
"Troublesome guy" Shikamaru huffed.
"Yeah but I'm your troublesome guy see you later" I waved and left, making sure to say goodbye to Shikaku and Yoshino as well as I left to my apartment.

When I got there I opened the door and smiled a little seeing the plants around my house still all green and happily healthy.
'Dear Kuroki, I hope you don't mind but Inoichi and I took it on ourselves to make sure your garden didn't die. I also made sure to pack your fridge with lots of food, Chozo and Inoichi' I read the small note and I smiled a little before I headed to my room and stripped into nothing but my boxers as I collapsed down onto the bed and instantly fell asleep with no help needed. The next morning I was up with the sun and showered and dressed. I no longer had my long hair as I decided to cut it to my shoulders and kept it in a small ponytail, I wore my chunin vest and only that on my top with bandages wrapped around my arms from my elbows to my fingertips, I wore a pair of black ANUBU pants as well as black ninja shoes but my feet were also wrapped with bandages. Once I finished dressing I sat and ate a salad while also writing down each person I was going to help out, their strengths and their weaknesses and what I could do to help that out.

Finally it was time so I headed to the train ground and saw Kakashi, Kurenai, Gai and Asuma there already with their teams.
"Okay what is going to happen first is I am going to split you into groups of two, these are the groups you will train in today. There is a reason for this, therefore you can not change the first group is Hinata and Lee" I called, making Hinata freeze a little and look at Lee.
"Neji and Ino" I said, making those two freeze as well.
"Shino and Sakura," I said, making Sakura look at Shino and Shino to sigh a little.
"Choji and Tenten you are together" I said and they shrugged and nodded.
"Shikamaru you are with Kiba and Naruto with Sasuke," I finished and they blinked looking at their partners.
"Now I will tell you what you will be doing. The first thing is to have a spar but after that you are to help each other out with your specialty" I smiled.
"What do you mean?" Hinata asked, confused.
"For example Hinata, you and Lee are both taijutsu specialists but there are other reasons you are together. One is that Hinata, you can show Lee some different ways to use his taijutsu, the same with him showing you how to use didn't taijutsu styles" I explained.
"What do you mean I know the Hyuga style? Isn't that enough?" Hinata questioned, confused and I sighed.
"That is exactly the problem if you know one type of taijutsu and your family knows it, say you come across an enemy that has beaten one of your clan before he is going to know exactly what to do to take you down in seconds. If you learn a second taijutsu then if you find someone like that you can use your backup taijutsu style. Lee needs to learn control and to conserve his energy not to just head in full on to start with, he needs to learn to wear the enemy down before attacking, your style is like this so it will be good to teach other" I explained and they looked shock before they nodded and left to a bit of the field to start the spar.

"What about us?" Ino demanded tapping her foot looking at me and then Neji.
"Neji is a taijutsu expert but you are a ninjutsu and genjutsu user, in fact you rely on your family's jutsus. I am not saying this is bad, not at all but you can't just rely on that forever. What if you are separated from Choji and Shikamaru with a group of enemies around you? You can't use your mind transfer jutsu so you need something as a backup plan, Neji will be able to get you started on taijutsu while you can help him with his jutsus since he also relies on his family taijutsu" I told them and they nodded before heading off to spar as well.
