Ninja Academy Classroom Asa's pov. "So you three changed your clothes. You at least look stronger than before, but I doubt it. I don't need a team, so don't get in my way." I shared amused glances with my twin and blonde brother. He thinks we're weak? Boy is he in for a rude awakening. I spoke up then, giggling a bit.                                                                               "You know Duck-kun, you probably shouldn't insult your teammates. You don't really know us after all." Sasuke scoffed and started to turn away, making a hn sound in the back of his throat. "Alright Duck-san. Believe what you want. You'll change your mind soon enough. Ill let you in on a secret though. Our Jonin sensei? He's the one who made that bet against us in the first place. He's also been training us for over three years now when he has time. He's not just a Jonin though, he's an ex-ANBU Captain, who is in the Bingo book. If that's not enough he's infamous across the world, due to the Third Shinobi War. He's known as Copy-Cat Kakashi and other than your...Bastard of a brother," here my nose scrunched in distaste. " -sensei is known to be the only other holder of the sharingan."                 Sasuke's head whipped up fast, his eyes wide. " Y-you're lying! I would have been told, if -if there was someone from my clan still alive. The Hokage himself told me there were no survivors!" His mind seemed to race before he clenched his jaw and glared daggers at me, getting too damn close to my face. His right hand fisted the front of my hoodie and he pulled me closer, seeing something truthful? in my eyes because he leaned away from me not a full second later, his cheeks turning a slight pink. Probably embarrassed from being so close to a girl. I inhaled his delicious scent as Sakura leaned around me and grabbed his wrist, jabbing a pressure point between his thumb and forefinger, making him release me. She glared daggers at him,                        " Don't touch my sister asshole!" I was grateful, I didn't liked to be touched by people I didn't know and if he had touched my skin I would have socked him in the face.                          Sasuke backed away, standing from the bench we were seated on, his hand twitching slightly from Sakura's painful jab. He had his head ducked down, his face shadowed by his hair. At that moment the bell rang and the other kids began to leave for lunch, Naruto and Sakura moving to the doorway, as I faced Duck-san. Surprisingly none of the Uchiha fangirls were paying us any attention, though Shikamaru did eye us before slouching his way out the door. "Uchiha-san, I understand you went through something tramatic, and it isn't fair, but you aren't the only one to be scarred by a family member in this class." I told him sardonically, giving him an obviously fake smile. "And you're right. Hokage-sama would have told you if someone else had lived. Kakashi sensei and you should talk about it."                                                              I hesitated for a moment before continuing, "His eye was given to him by someone special, who asked him to use it so they can see the world together. Its thanks to this relative of yours that he can even function as a normal human being. Your relative is and will always be his best friend, teammate, and his hero. It wasn't bloodline theft, and your father is the one that trained him in its use. If you want to know more you should, like I said, speak to Kakashi-sensei." Sasuke listened to my mini-speech, before turning and leaving the room in silence, his body trembling slightly. I felt horrible for upsetting him. He normally was hard to provoke, which is part of why Naruto liked to pick on him.                                         Before his family died, Sasuke and Naruto were somewhat friends, hanging out together during lunch and after school to study and play Ninja. He had actually been one of the other students that I myself had talked to, Naruto dragging me to meet him one day after school. After the massacre, Sasuke became cold and detached, no longer laughing with his classmates and ignoring our existence. He pretty much ignored everyone but adults. Sasuke has changed so much, and as a person who eats people, even i feel horrible for what happened. I can't believe Itachi-san would go insane for power. He was so kind to me and Naruto, helping Naruto find Ichiraku' s ramen shop when no other restaurant would let him inside. He gave me scrolls on beginner ninjutsu that used to be his. He was my first crush too. Smirking at me slightly when i would blush at him and his kind words, encouraging me to get better. My first kiss as well, though I surprised him with it. My hands clenched into fists at the thought of him. That bastard better hope he doesn't cross paths with us, or I'll eat him. Tch. Even thinking about Itachi pissed me off. I took a deep breath and pushed those thoughts away, turning to my twin and Naruto who had been watching our conversation in between their own silent one. Apparently Sakura forgot their bentos at home, and Naruto was volunteering himself to go get them. At her nod he smiled cheekily at her before making a single handsign. A poof of smoke and a clone appeared, he patted me on the head before leaving in a shunshin. I hadn't been lying to Sasuke about our sensei having trained us before. He became Naruto's constant ANBU guard when i was ten, Naruto being nine, and he started giving all three of us tips at first, on how to strengthen our bodies. He also escorts me to the prison now when i run out of blood once a week. He set a strength training regimen for us, and would give us chakra control exercises, making us train in them in every free moment we could. The leaf exercise we had learned at school was perfected first, first with sticking leaves to our skin for an hour, then pebbles, then senbon. Naruto set his leaves on fire the first twenty or so tries, with Sakura getting it immediately. Unfortunately I was not blessed with great chakra control like my sister and my leaves would sometimes brown and crinkle, before turning to ash, or just not stick at all. After a few days of that, in which we competed with how many leaves we could stick to ourselves, all three of us got it and moved on to pebbles. Here my sister found that while her control was almost perfect, it was because she had so little chakra to work with. Inu-kun made her do the leaf exercise all day, even going so far as to making her sleep with them sticking to her body. Her reserves slowly grew, our physical training benefitting us both in that regard. If it hadn't been for my bloodline, then i could have had the same problem as her, instead my control took more focus and was getting better by the minute. At least it wasn't completely shot like Naruto's was at first, he took a whole day just to get one leaf to stick. Sakura's reserves were like a puddle, getting larger every day as she emptied it. My reserves back then were above average, being like a large pond, but nowhere near Naruto's massive lake. Now Sakura's were a large pond, mine a massive lake, and Naruto's was like the ocean. Anyway, after the leaf exercise we moved onto pebbles. With pebbles though, it was harder because of their weight, too much chakra made them crumble to dust. A week of that and we got it. After another competition we moved onto senbon. Sakura gained quite the liking to them, and after practicing like crazy, they were her favorite things to throw at us when we annoyed her. Which thanks to the bet at school, was quite often. She began studying anatomy books from the medical section at the library, taking many books home and forcing Naruto and i to learn with her. From studying anatomy, she began to study medical theory and herbal remedies, getting quite excited to learn Ijutsu and make her own poisons and antidotes. She told me she wanted to be like her Imouto, poisoning her enemies. It honestly warmed my heart. I started a garden for her in our backyard because of this one statement, Naruto helping me. Then we ordered different seeds and bulbs available to the public for her to start planting. She loves that garden like she birthed the damn thing. Spending hours tending them. Sigh. I really shouldn't get jealous of dirt and plants. At least she isn't poisoning us anymore to make us immune. Poor Naruto. Im so glad they had no painful effects on me, though they did make my sweat smell awful, and my mouth was constantly dry.                                       Sakura also began the Senbon Balancing exercise, this time alone, in which she coated a finger with her chakra and practiced balancing a sharpened senbon on it, pushing it away and pulling it to her, twisting it in different directions when she mastered it. She had to get her hands healed many times from them piercing through her chakra shield. One of the nurses warned her not to teach Naruto and i the exercise until our control was almost perfect, or we could injure ourselves badly. After the senbon sticking exercise we moved onto meditation, controlling our behavior and body language, and creating and practicing false personas.  We got the idea from Sakura and I's Kunoichi classes, where we learned how to use make-up,  contacts, and wigs to hide ourselves without the use of chakra. We learned of geishas and noblewomen. Servant girls and the average middle-class civilian woman. We practiced and were graded on our performances of the roles women played in our world throughout history.                                           For some reason the male students weren't being taught this and my twin and i taught Naruto what we learned, even teaching him Ikebana-the flower language. After a week of finding dead flowers and plants everywhere in our house, we decided to learn sign language instead as a language for just us. It took quite a while, for we changed quite a bit of it, but Naruto's guard- which was Inu-kun, taught us the Konoha standard sign language, and the ANBU signals that weren't as common. We had begged him for days and with permission from Jiji- which is what we began calling Hokage-sama in private, mainly due to Naruto, Inu-kun taught us, though the ANBU signs were for emergencies only. We made the standard language our own and spent months talking to each other with it, the only time our voices were heard were when we spoke to our friends, or teachers.                                                                    Now we could have a vocal conversation while carrying on a different conversation about a completely different topic, Inu-kun being the only one besides us to fully understand what we're saying. Sooo useful. I grinned before taking a sip of my blood-filled thermos, remembering all of Naruto's funny comments about our classmates.  And Sakura and Naruto's flirting. Ew. We still to this day practice different personas, making a game of it, the winner getting the weekend to choose an activity. We weren't perfect-we still had a ways to go to get rid of all of our cracks in our masks, but we were passable with certain personas. Naruto was the best though. Speaking of—its Naruto's turn. I hope he doesn't make me eat ramen again. Even with coating my insides with chakra, i still vomited.                                      Other training we did was the tree and water walking exercises, which we didn't learn until  last year. We now spar every day on water. Naruto learned the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, which he taught to us. Sakura couldn't make any at first but is now able to make four. Five if she doesn't use her chakra again. I can make up to ten, but due to my bloodline they turn rabid and start attacking each other. Sakura found an earth clone jutsu scroll in our shop that was sold to us on a visit to Iwa's market and trading post when we were little. Along with that jutsu we found an Earth Armor Jutsu scroll from the same place, with an Earth Wall Jutsu scroll that was curled up together with it. Too bad it only gave a summary of what it could do, the hand-signs were burned off along time ago. I could only currently do the Earth clone, and that took a very long time to learn, making me think my elemental affinity is not earth. Technically it was only a bastardized version of the technique as well, because a fully made earth clone could tank a couple hard hits before it gave away, while mine crumbled after one good hit. I had no idea how to turn my chakra fully into earth natured chakra, and it was only partially changed enough to where the clone let out a bunch of smoke (wasted chakra) upon dispelling. Intent apparently meant a lot upon using a jutsu. We also had scrolls on different water, fire and lightning jutsu, with one scroll being on an ice bloodline-it gave a detailed list of easy ice type jutsu for the Yuki Clan. Which none of us had ever even heard of. I loved to read it though, it make me feel like one day i could possibly recreate their bloodline without it actually being a bloodline. I really want a set of ice swords and claws. Ooohhh maybe i could turn people to ice with a touch of my finger. That would be soooo cool. The three of us began looking into a weapon we wanted to learn after becoming Chunin as well, Sakura choosing wicked daggers and clawed gauntlets. Naruto choosing a Bo staff in honor of Jiji, and a wakizashi for his own interests. I chose a large bladed fan and twin tantos. We each trained in our first weapon choices for now, Sakura with her daggers, me with my fan, and Naruto with his staff, in which he was very good with. For a Genin, anyway.            We were going to start our second weapon as a celebration of making Chunin. Our weapons we carried were for training specifically, and when we leave today we are gonna celebrate by finally buying the real things. We had them put on hold at the weapons shop since we chose them last year, and the owner was saving them in the back room for us. I'm so fucking excited! Finishing my thermos off, I turned to my twin who was stuffing her face, and reading a medical text on... "Watcha reading, Nee-chan?"                     "Acupuncture  Theories with the uses of Chakra and Senbon." Sakura looked up at me excitedly, her voice going slightly faster as she spoke with enthusiasm. "One of the theories is that if done correctly, using senbon to pierce certain pressure points can cure things like headaches, stomach pain, etc. The author thinks that if someone is out of senbon, if they train their chakra to perfection then they could possibly use it in its place and could even, if done right, be used as an assassination tool. The persons could insert their chakra without being noticed, by say bumping into someone and steadying their arm or shoulders. The chakra would then over a short period of time, and a few handseals? Or maybe they mean fuinjutsu, im not positive- anyway the assassin could activate the jutsu at a distance. Or as the author seems to think, the assassin could maybe instead create a jutsu that would react as if it was a time bomb, and slowly poison the host, or actually explode. Its all just interesting, but sadly I don't think any of it would work unless fuinjutsu was involved somehow. And you know we're both horrible at fuinjutsu. I think Training Ground 6 will forever have blue and orange trees."                                                          Naruto snorted in amusement, while I pouted at that. Fuinjutsu just sounds so cool! The problem with it is that its very dangerous, to the point where one messed up brush stroke could cause an explosion. Sakura and i both learned to make a storage seal from the library, but that's all we could make. Fuinjutsu is just something that should be taught from Master to student. Naruto got a little farther, creating a stasis seal for food, except he did it accidentally, he got distracted on the last bit and luckily, instead of exploding he made something new. Or well, if its been created already then there's no way for us to really know, is there? There's not many Fuinjutsu Masters alive, most of them being killed in Uzushio. Which we planned to visit when Naruto makes Chunin. After all he is an Uzumaki.                                                                   He now makes about a hundred stasis seals every weekend and sells them at The Frosted Leaf, along with storage seals. Many restaurant owners have made contracts with our shop due to our herbs and spices from around the world, and they all seemed very happy with buying the stasis and storage seals as well. The seals were all Apprentice level, meaning the lasted for about a week then broke down, spitting out the sealed items on top of it. Still, they were useful in many restaurants, and some bars, giving Misako-san (our amazing employee) a lot of business.                            We were currently looking for more workers, because with my brother and sister starting missions with me, we needed more people to mind the shop. In fact business has seemed to expand lately, and Sakura and I were thinking about buying another shop in Konoha, and signing it in Naruto's name as well. Soon we'll have poisons and medicine to sell there, along with jewelry that Misako-san and her six year old daughter Kori-chan have been making. Of course we only took a small cut of the money made from the jewelry, at Misako-san's insistence too. We wanted to let her keep all the money made but she wouldn't hear of it. In return Sakura and I gave her a key to our home, letting her and her daughter stay in our parents room and my old room. I grew pretty fond of the attic, after a thorough cleaning and redecoration. Anyway, the shop we wanted to buy would mainly be for Shinobi customers, instead of mainly civilians like The Frosted Leaf. Naruto did say he wanted to study Fuinjutsu further, becoming a master, but he wants to wait until someone could teach him more. Inu-kun is the one that taught the storage seal to us, he knew more seals but we weren't advanced enough for him to teach us more. There's only so much time i could sit still, practicing calligraphy over and over, before I'm driven insane! I'd much rather be training my body to get stronger.             As it is, Naruto wants to be the Fuinjutsu expert of our team, Sakura wants to be the Medic, and I..I want to be a Genjutsu Mistress. We all swore to practice ninjutsu, and taijutsu, and of course weapons training. But we had clear goals of what we wanted to study, and how we could contribute to our team, in which we planned to stay together until we hit at least Jounin level. I wonder what Sasuke will bring to us? Maybe weapons and wires? I know the Uchiha were famous for their wires. And the Sharingan. Maybe a straight up Ninjutsu specialist, but with Genjutsu and trap-making. I know for sure he'd make a great strategist, he's always been the best in Tactical Warfare classes. Other than Shikamaru, but he's too lazy to even try. The bell rang again five minutes ago, and as we sat back at our desks in the classroom I noticed the different Senseis come to collect their students. I waved to Nami-Chan as she left and started a conversation with Naruto in our sign language. 'Do you think Inu-kun will be late?' 'Probability is 100 percent. Why?' 'My turn to cook dinner, and i want a team meal to know Sasuke's fighting skills. He needs to know about my bloodline, and your tenant.' Sakura made a talking gesture before she spoke silently as well. 'Don't forget we need to pick up our weapons. Shop closes at 8. I think we're out of fish, so i'll take a bathroom break and make a clone. I don't think sensei will be here soon either, but if he does show up before i get back, throw a senbon at him for me. Be right back' Sakura gets up from her seat, making her way out the door.                                     Meanwhile, team eight's sensei arrives, collecting Hinata, and Kiba. Shino makes his way over to me. " Good luck Asa-chan. I expect to see you and your team in three days from now at Yakiniku Q. Why? Because we had been planning to celebrate with BBQ for a few weeks now. I have already taken the liberty of speaking to Nami-chan and her team before lunch. She has replied that her team will be there."  Choji, who was sitting with his team right behind us, having moved to the new seats after lunch, piped up, " Asa-chan, we'll be there as well. Oh I can't wait to eat BBQ! Its the only thing better than chips! * crunch* *crunch* I looked back at him at the noise to see-yep. He was eating a bag of BBQ chips. That boy was addicted to those things, i swear. He offered Naruto one, who gladly took it. Choji knew better than to offer me one, he knew that my Kekkai Genkai didn't allow me to eat normal food. Which is probably why we became friends in the first place, he felt badly for me.          I nodded in approval at Shino, verbal agreeing before he turned and left with his team, giving Choji a nod in approval as well. Choji began a mini speech on the wonders of BBQ vs Ramen, which Naruto gladly took up, both being quiet in their disagreements. Seriously, they've had this argument so many times already. I watched as Shikamaru slammed his head on his desk, muttering curses out loud. Poor Shika-kun. He's heard this argument so many times its not even funny. Gah! Why does he have to be so cute? Ok. Stop staring Asa. Before your noticed, stop. Staring. "....your Aunt Chiko makes the best ramen ever and you still choose Yakiniku Q's BBQ over it! It's blasphemy!" Choji's Aunt Chiko, Aunt Choma's little sister, is the one that created my chocolate shakes, and taught me how to use my chakra to turn the liquid into more chakra. She's an ANBU medic, the only reason I know this is because the Hokage asked her to find a solution to my food problem, we weren't exactly made of prisoners in Konoha. Coating my insides with chakra just to eat took a lot of control, and it wasn't a permanent solution to my problem. What if im on a mission, blending in as a civilian for a week or so and im being watched by enemy ninja as i try to go about my day. What if the enemy ninja have a sensor on their team? They would surely notice the usage of chakra coming from a supposed civilian. I guess i could just eat the enemies, but what if my mission states for me not to so they can take false information back to their village? Chiko was a blessing, using her amazing cooking skills to make alternatives for me. I know that she uses special chakra grown herbs to the shakes, along with blood to make it edible to me and I was grateful for her. She told me she was working on a smoothie version, where i might be able to eat fruit again, which i hope works because strawberries were my favorite fruit when i was little. Sadly solid foods were a straight up no-go. Except meat. For now anyway. Maybe in the future something could be invented? I did want at least three kids after all, and they shouldn't have to survive on blood for the rest of their life. ' Grrrr' Thinking about all this blood is making me hungry. I knew i should have brought another thermos to lunch. I hope Sensei will take me to the prison later. ".....decide for me! I'm busy that day anyway." I turned fully in my seat at that, watching as Team Ten's sensei sneaked up on the arguing duo in amusement.                                                       It was Hokage Jiji's son, Sarutobi Asuma. Apparently I missed Ino telling Choji she couldn't make it to the restaurant that day, which didn't really surprise me. 'Ahem. AHHHEEM' their sensei cleared his throat, watching in amusement as Ino, and Choji turned to him in annoyance. He smirked at them before introducing himself as their sensei and leading them out of the room. Sakura came back in a few seconds before they left, ignoring Ino, who was glaring fiercely in frustration at her. They had a mini showdown, with Ino declaring that she would get better as a Kunoichi, so that Sakura would take her seriously. She stated that they wouldn't be friends again until she could keep up with her. Sakura actually lost her cool facade, and beamed at Ino's retreating figure, and I knew that she couldn't wait to have her friend back. Those two are weird, but i knew when Ino was strong enough she would have my sisters back throughout any mission they took together. After Team Twelve left, it was just our team left. Sasuke was seated far away from us, near a window in the second row. He looked calmer than before, and was staring intently out the window, lost in thought. I watched him for a minute from the corner of my eyes before sighing in frustration. We had things to do today! Who knows how long Sensei is going to make us wait. We could be working at the store right now, or even meeting with a client to expand our business! I slumped slightly in my seat, turning to look at Naruto when he made a humming noise. "Ahh! Asa-chan, lets make a couple clones. We could open the shop up for a few hours. Its your turn to do the register Nee-chan." I smiled happily at him, ignoring Sasuke's obvious eavesdropping. "Great minds think alike Otouto." With a single handseal from him and three from me, four clones were made. One of each of ours was henged to look completely different. They were the back up clones for if an accident happened and our original clones got dispelled. Naruto's clone henged itself into a plain chain necklace, which his clone put on. My second clone henged into a leather bracelet. They both left in a shunshin, hopefully to have a productive time. While our real selves waited. And waited. Aaaaaaannnnd waaiiittted. I slumped completely, before taking out a couple senbon to practice chakra control, Naruto already doing the same thing, only with one hand while he reads a different book.                             Three Hours Later————————.  'Gurgle' Damn it Sensei! I need blood! The Uchiha was starting to look tasty, and if Sensei doesn't show up soon I might just feed from him. Of course i would ask him first. Maybe I should explain my Kekkai Genkai to him already. 'Shtok' Ahh! I watched as Sensei finally showed up. He entered the room, casting a lazy look around.  " Sorry Im late. You see, I was helping an old lady with her groceries cross the street-" A tik mark definitely appeared on all three of our faces, and with a glance I saw Sasuke looking quite irritated as well. Sakura stood up and yelled at Sensei, earning her a head scratch in sheepishness. " Sensei! Why do you have to be late all the time?! We have a shop to run and dinner to prepare, not to mention My Imouto is hungry! She's been staring at Uchiha's neck for the past hour. We still have to go over a training schedule and team rules!" Naruto spoke up then "Also Nee-chan and our er..Kekkai Genkai's need to be explained for Sasuke's safety. You told us to wait for you to explain." Kakashi-Sensei laughed slightly before doing a 'come here' gesture. He began leading the four of us to the roof, Sasuke following in complete confusion. Once on the roof we each took a seat, boxing in the Uchiha to prevent him from escaping just in case he took my bloodline the wrong way. After all it wouldn't be the first time someone reacted badly to me after being told. My friend Nami and I had another civilian friend, this time from the orphanage. We were friends for along time, but he decided to stay in the civilian academy to become a banker, instead of a shinobi. After telling him, he grew afraid of me, calling me a monster and flinching when he saw my fangs when i smiled at him. He spread rumors about my sister and i, not to mention he calls Naruto a Demon every time he sees him. The civilian boy , Daichi gets his attitude towards us from the orphanage matron- a nasty old woman who took a very strong disliking to us, which only worsened when Naruto decided to prank her with colored smoke bombs that left staining chalk all over her floors. It was made worse after Nami, Shino and I threw bottled water over the chalk, activating the dye in it. Ahhh good times. The bitch deserved it though for the the way she treated Naruto and turned our civilian friend away from us, not to mention for killing Shino-kun's kikaichu, and calling them roaches. Stupid woman! They were obviously beetles! "Alright kids, first off I don't want any of you to say a word until I'm finished speaking." At our nods, and Naruto miming zipped lips,  he continued. "Okay. Usually after graduation, a team of three Genin will complete a test focused on teamwork to pass. Sakura, Naruto and Asagao, you three have been my students for about three and a half years now." At Sasuke's raised eyebrows he continued. "Honestly, you three are at Chunin level already, close to being Jonin. Because you have already taken my test before and passed it on numerous occasions, Hokage Sama- who is watching our meeting right now- and I, have decide to do something different. First in accordance with our bet."                                          He looked back and forth at my siblings. "Sakura, Naruto. You two have earned an all you can eat free meal ticket that is useable in any restaurant in Konoha, with no expiration date. Its signed and paid for by Hokage-Sama himself. Asagao, you get a free buffet, with however many criminals you would like. You all -including Sasuke-get to choose between you the D-ranks required of our team. Of course, as you see —you three have officially become a team as you wanted. But before i get into that... Sasuke. You are about to learn two village secrets. This is the only time to speak aloud about them, until you have learned the same hand sign language as your team. First we'll start with Naruto. Go ahead Naruto." Sasuke turned to Naruto staring at him curiously. Naruto lifted his hoodie, showing slightly muscled abs on a lean torso. As he grew he would get more muscular and with his chakra he could choose to stay lean as well. Sakura blushed heavily as she eyed his tummy, before pushing the redness in her cheeks away with medical chakra.                                              Naruto spoke then, after focusing his chakra to bring the seal on his stomach to visibility. " The only reason I agreed to tell you about this is because you are my teammate, my comrade who i would kill for and be killed to protect. I may not like you as a person, because of how you broke our friendship up, but i understand why you did. As a Shinobi it is my job to work with and get along with any and all that are put on my team. This is a job after all, and if we can't put aside our dislike of each other to get stronger and protect our village then we don't deserve to be called Shinobi.        This seal was created by my father on October tenth, the day i was born, to house the Kyuubi no Yoko. I am what is called a Jinchuriki, or demon container. Along with this seal, which in combat allows me to heal myself, use heavy jutsu, and tank hits, I have a Kekkai Genkai from my mother's side of the family. Sadly the only part of it I can access is a longer life span and a complete subconscious understanding of fuinjutsu. This means in combat once i am trained, i will be able to use seals on my enemy with a single touch. Right now though i can look at a seal and understand its purpose, but there is a-lot of calligraphy training and chakra control training I need to do. Also, I have to break the seals down and study them further to use them. Its like a puzzle kind of. Most pieces are colored and you can tell theres water or mountains in the final picture it will make, but you still have to sift through like a thousand pieces to put it together. The part I can't access is the biting healing factor and Chakra Chains. Only females can use them."  Naruto stood proudly, allowing Sasuke to look at his seal and take in his words.                                                                Sasuke stared in shock at Naruto, before nervously edging away from him. I sighed sadly as I watched him. He did just learn his old friend housed a demon in his body after all. Naruto's face fell slightly before he masked his hurt and sat back.                                                         Sasuke seeing this sighed and made a frustrated face. "Naruto, you idiot. Im not afraid of you holding the Kyuubi. Im afraid of the really bad pranks you could do to me with seals. I don't want to come home to a house flooded with ramen or have my skin permanently blue for a week. It was bad enough when you sprayed pheromones from the Inuzuka Clinic on my backpack and i was chased around town by horny Ninken. Fangirls were bad enough, and i had to talk to a therapist about my fear of dogs to get over it. You with a sealing Kekkai Genkai is terrifying." Naruto's face lit up and Sakura and I looked at each other before we busted into peels of laughter. I can't believe I didn't know about that prank. Fucking hilarious. Kakashi sensei hid his amusement, but I knew he was laughing inside. ' Gurgle' Gah! so freaking hungry. Kakashi eye-smiled at me, before using sign language to let me know to meet him around 9 tonight. He then asked if i wanted to explain my bloodline, but i declined. I smiled sadly at him before he addressed my bickering teammates.                                                      "Alright, enough. Sasuke, You know about Naruto, but now you need to know about Asa-chan." Instinctively i shied away at Sasuke facing me but at Naruto leaning against me and Sakura leaning her chin on my shoulder, I gained a little more courage. Sasuke accepted Naruto, so he would accept me too right?  " I thought Sakura and Asagao were from a civilian family?" The duck haired teen questioned, eyes scanning me for a clan symbol of any kind.   "Asa-chan is a newblood. I think you guys are supposed to learn that term in class. So Asa-chan awoke her Kekkai Genkai when she was six. Maaa, do you remember those old Vampire novels that were popular among civilians a couple years ago?" At Sasuke's head shaking in the negative he explained. " Well as a Clan kid that makes sense. Anyway Asa-chan's bloodline  is a bit different from the usual ones. She no longer eats regular food, with exceptions. She drinks blood to survive. Show him your fangs Asa-chan, with venom." I opened my mouth and watched Sasuke lean closer to look at my fangs. I let them drip some Wonderlust Venom, the purple liquid falling into my mouth. Sasuke leaned back and eyed me. "What does it do? Where does the venom come from?" I turned to Sensei and averted my eyes in embarrassment, allowing him to answer for me. "She currently can produce five different venoms, of which she has made quite a profit from selling to the hospital and T and I workers. There are tiny holes in the tip of her fangs that allow venom and chakra to enter her victim's bloodstream. The purple venom is Wonderlust venom. It causes intense pleasure on contact with the skin, and when its inserted into her victims it causes paralyzation from pleasureful over stimulation of nerves along the spinal cord. The paralyzation lasts for about 45 minutes. Her black venom is Void venom, and it is acid-like, eating at tissue until nothing remains. It eats through steel as well so when handling it we need to coat our hands and weapons in chakra. The next venom is pink and was named after Sakura-chan here. Its called Sakurachi Venom. It causes extreme pain to every nerve ending in the body, lasting for a good three hours. A test subject volunteering to test it said it felt like three days of torture, every time their body felt like it might get used to the pain, starting to go numb, the pain got worse, intensifying. The head of T and I loves it. The next venom is green and is called Nightmare Venom. This one is one i personally like to use. It causes the person who has it in their system to hallucinate. The thing is these hallucinations are controlled by the person who soaks the venom in their chakra overnight. Asa-chan of course, not having to do that. Their victims chakra turns against them, playing out the hallucination. If i wanted my enemy to experience being burnt alive then their chakra would physically burn them, leaving scars. If i wanted to drown them their chakra would produce water in their lungs, making them actually drown while they see themselves drowning. And its not a Genjutsu so the Release Technique won't work. It lasts for up to ten minutes, for Asa-chan up to fifteen, in which you can trick your victim into thinking they were tortured for years if you get good enough at it. The last venom is clear and is a Truth venom. It forces the victim to become dazed, as if they're extremely sleepy, and when questioned the victim always answers truthfully. The Truth venom lasts for ten minutes, but can be used without harming the victim more than once, the only side affect is it knocks the person unconscious for an hour after per each dose. The only cure for these venoms of hers is Asa-chan's blood. But the blood can't be forcibly taken, her chakra has to activate the cure on her command. None of the venoms work on her, Sakura or Naruto. They have a steady supply of her cure being fed to them once a day. She also give the cure to Konoha's leaders once a week as well, so many of our higher ranked ninja willingly eats the cure as a bloodpill once a day and it completely makes the venoms useless." Sasuke looked fascinated by my bloodline, not at all disgusted, which gave me confidence to lean towards him. " I-I would be willing to share my blood with you as well, as you are a part of this team. With how much venom I have donated and sold to the hospital and the T and I leader, there is a chance that enemy spies are aware of my venoms and they could be stolen anytime. The good thing though is that they will never get the cure from me, while our allies will." I paused for a second, hesitating and suppressing a large blush. "A-ano, there is more to my bloodline. In school, you are taught about females. You are aware we go through menstrual cycles yes?" Sasuke and Naruto's cheeks redden while Sakura giggles at them.     " Ah, during my cycle which lasts two days, i am not er-safe to be around males. Or females really. My hormones cycle three times as fast during this time, which makes me a bit sex crazy. Don't be surprised if you don't see me for a couple days a month. At this time Sensei promised to give you guys a few days off, or D-ranks if you need money. A new medicine made for those of my kind is being created, and should help with the bleeding and controlling my hormones. As you know, enemy shinobi with an  enhanced sense of smell could find a woman's location from her scent. I will be testing it on our first C-rank. Its already given good results to Mebuki, my biological mother." I looked at Sensei but he nodded for me to continue, i held up a hand to hold off when Sasuke went to ask about Mebuki. "As for combat, my senses are stronger than a normal humans. I physically age a bit faster than others my age, which is why I'm quite a bit more developed than my twin. I was assured my development would slow down around the age of sixteen, and most likely stop, where i would look like Im in my twenties, and in my prime. Because of what I am, I am quite a bit stronger than a normal human girl, being at Jonin strength and speed. My strength and speed  will amplify with adrenaline, like a human who is enraged or scared, I am able to become a lot stronger with adrenaline. I also have these-" I allowed a vine to rise from my skin and used it to poke my twin on the nose, making her giggle. "- I use them to grab ahold of my prey and keep them still while i feed. They also produce any of my venoms. They can only be cut with chakra, and they dissolve into venom right after." At Naruto's face I assured him, giving him a hug. "It doesn't hurt, I promise. They do however make me extremely hungry when they are cut or damaged. I have to eat two body worths of blood to regenerate them if they are damaged." I leaned back into my seat. Sasuke's face was full of interest, and he was about to start with his questions when sensei told him to wait for now. Kakashi sensei began to talk about our training schedule and we all turned to him and listened, though Sasuke repeatedly looked back at me and Naruto. He went over what the test would have been like and about teamwork being important, before giving an outline of what he wanted to teach us as Genin. Sensei asked me to explain our current schedule to Sasuke, who turned and studied my face as i began to do so. "All of us work everyday to every other day on our strength training, you know like weight lifting, push-ups, crunches, pull-ups, suicides, squats, kata exercises. We do yoga for an hour after waking as well, and this isn't even counting the chakra control, enhancement and Jutsu training. Which is every other day. So each day our schedule is like this, which unless Sensei will change it-" here we all looked at him, but he tilted his head and said to continue. " -ok, say Monday, Wednesday, and Saturdays, we wake up at five and do an hour of meditation and yoga stretching. We have breakfast 6:30 am. Then we meet here to discuss different team maneuvers and what we want to work on to get stronger, the whole time we will be doing weight training, with sensei bringing the weights." Sakura stopped me, taking over. "I'll have to look in the shop for another resistance seal, but if I can't find one we will order one from The Twisted Kunai. You can keep it as a graduation gift from us. At 7 am, weight training is over, with plenty of time to rest and have a snack, and hydrate of course! I will be practicing my Ijutsu on all of us for each break, enhancing our muscle growth and helping with aches, soreness and cramping. At 7:30 We will do calisthenics, you know, push-ups, pull-ups etc. After we'll do jumping jacks, jump rope, whatever cardio exercise you feel like doing that day. You could even just go for a run, which is what is next. At 8 we run for fifteen minutes straight, and after cool down stretches, we will have another break. Again I'll check us out for aches and pains, and we will get together to practice team exercises for an hour. So from 9-10 am we will do team drills, how to speak to clients, camping procedures and so on. Sensei usually shows up at this time as well, so he will be there to instruct us. We get another small break with a snack and drinks. At 10:30 its back to stretching, but this time we will up our resistance bands. We'll do lunges, squats and leg and hip exercises to help with speed. We will be timed at our sprints." Naruto poked me and Sakura, " We usually race each other and the winner is the one who gets out of making dinner."  He said. Sakura swatted him and i giggled. Sakura continued. " After cooling down, at 11:15 am we will have another break with snacking and hydrating, and we will have fifteen to twenty minute spars, if we aren't sparring that day, then we will be practicing our katas, or looking up ways to incorporate a better Taijutsu skillset with our own. Before we hit Chunin we all have a goal to master another Taijutsu kata set than the Little Leaf one we learned in the Academy. We also have weapons-!" I admit i almost freaked out there, but contained myself. Mostly. "Eepp! Nee-chan send a clone! The shop closes in..... ten minutes!" I stood up quickly, and went to make a clone, but my twin stopped me. " Calm down, I already did it Imouto-chan! Our weapons are at home, waiting for us on our beds. Also dinner has been prepped and is ready to be started when we leave." She told me, smiling brightly at me. I sat back down and smiled in relief at my twin, before exchanging grins with Naruto who swung his arm around my shoulders, pulling me into his side. Sakura put her chin on Naruto's arm, cuddling into my back for warmth. Sakura continued, " Anyway,  *giggle* you can also work on weapons at this time as well. As for Taijutsu katas, if you know more than one then you can just practice with what you know, or request sparring with Sensei, or one of our clones. At this time you could also practice Jutsu you are working on, and get advice from sensei, or one of us if you want to learn from us. We also might come to you, asking to share Jutsu, or weapon skills with each other." Naruto took over from here. " At 12 its lunchtime! At 12:45 pm its mission time! At 2 pm we're off work! Well, this work. If you have time, you could come over to  The Frosted Leaf and hangout, we open at 2:30 pm and close at 10 pm! If you come, as a teammate you are allowed to read any of our training scrolls you want, and if you find something in the shop we'll give you a discount. Ahh! We have a lot of different Jutsu scrolls from all over the world, along with quite a few Animal Summons! Of course you should keep the Summons info to yourself cuz those aren't for sale!" I spoke up, flicking Naruto on the ear. " That's right! It turns out our grandparents were avid collectors of summoning contracts, and we plan on letting all of our classmates who have shown to be good comrades, with a mature Chunin attitude,  to pick a contract and sign. You can get first pick, we of course have already chosen. Its a secret which ones we picked though!" I winked at Sasuke holding a finger in front of my lips in a 'shh' gesture. I didn't notice, though Sakura would point it out later, that Sasuke's cheeks had pinked slightly at my action. "Now on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, we wake up at the same time, and do pretty much the same as before, only without weights, and we take it a bit easier. We do use resistance seals on our 'off days' as we call them, and we focus mainly on chakra exercises and stretching properly. We also spar for as long as we can while actively using our chakra, to enhance our speed, strength, and agility. On Tuesdays, instead of a mission we will instead do a practice mission. Sensei will test us on stealth, strategy and tactical planning, disguises without chakra and impersonations, espionage and sabotage, information gathering and so on. On Thursdays, we can choose if we want a mission or if we want to work on individual talents. We will also stay two hours later than normal working on either First-Aid, hunting and gathering, identifying poisons and poison resistance, Fear training with Genjutsu, swimming and breath expansion Jutsu while under water, and anything else he wants us to work on. Recently we started something new on Fridays. We started Pain resistance and Interrogation techniques taught at the T and I building by Mitarashi Anko-Chan. Its horrible but worth it. We also work on mind games and puzzles, having to spend ten to fifteen minutes with Ibiki-san and not break under stress as he tries to drive us insane. We do get therapy immediately after though, and we are required to have coping skills that we can work on whenever we have time, or need it. Every other Friday we volunteer at a shinobi oriented place. Sometimes we go to the Inuzuka Clinic and after working for a couple hours we get to learn about animal anatomy, how to get venom from venomous animals, how to clean an animals wound, which is useful for your future summons, or if you have an Inuzuka partner. We also are able to sell animal parts, like the pelts, meat, liver and heart and so on for some good money, depending on the quality of our catch. Another place we go to is Konoha's Retired Shinobi apartments. We help out the elderly and handicapped in exchange for fighting tips, Jutsu and other useful tips. You may not know this, but some of the elderly are distantly related to your clan, having been through marriage, or an ancestor. None of them, that we know of anyway, have your bloodline though." Unless they're hiding it, Old people can be pretty secretive. I watched Sasuke's face. He was actually pretty excited to work our schedule and learn from us. I grinned, i was excited to fight him in a spar as well. I piped up then " Sundays! Sundays are free do as you please days. Light stretches in the morning and before bed and some walking are the only exercises we are allowed to do. Sunday is our rest and relaxation day. Do whatever you want, but if you try to train be prepared for Sensei to kick your ass. This is usually the day we socialize with our friends, and go out to eat. If you want to train more, then do it when you are excused from team training after working that day. Did we miss anything Sensei?" We all looked to Kakashi Sensei who shook his head. " Other than speaking of C-ranks, that about covers the training schedule. When I feel you are ready for C-ranks, which will be after Sasuke catches up to you three, we will only be training in strength training and chakra control exercise while we are gone. If you have books you want to study, make sure they are not important to the village, meaning only D-rank Nin, Gen, Tai and Ijutsu are allowed to leave the village until you are Chunin. Then C-rank and below. Jonin can bring whatever rank as long as its not S-rank, though we usually choose not to bring things like that on missions. We will be doing a supply check of each persons weapons kits, First-Aid kit, food and water storage and the general necessities like clothes, tissues, rope, and so on. I do want you all to invest some money into a chakra laced face mask. It doesn't have to be like mine, but its for if we face a shinobi that uses poisonous gases or if we need clean air. The chakra filters the sir before it reaches your nose, or mouth. Get a pair of goggles, as well as wire meshed Suna style clothes, day wear and night wear, along with wire meshed winter clothes, in white. These are for missions in the desert and snow-country respectively. Now! Congratulations on making Genin! My goal is to get you four trained up and through the Chunin exams. I want you all to pass on your first try! As for your training, we will start off tomorrow with all of you doing every exercise until you collapse! I want to know your limits. After you collapse, Sakura-chan i want you to heal yourself, then your teammates. Sasuke! No chakra enhancement during your weight training, calisthenic, or cardio training until i have seen muscle growth from you. Once i have given the go-ahead you may start using it. During spars for your individual training, I want you to focus on Taijutsu, Trap-making, Genjutsu, and chakra sensing. Sasuke, you will be our stealth and strategy expert! On Fridays during Interrogation training, you will get an extra twenty minutes working on puzzle and mind mazes with the T and I staff members who volunteer. All of you will have training with my old ANBU partners in stealth on the days i assign it. Sasuke you will be training under him the most. Sakura! I want you on every other Tuesday and Thursday to volunteer at the hospital! Learn as much as you can as well as you can. When we are doing spars, you will go first, and after i want you to study your Ijutsu and every Friday when I take your sister to the prison, you will come also. Hokage sama gave permission for you to practice your techniques on the worse scum we've captured. If you do not want to work on Ijutsu during our sparring times, then you will work on your Taijutsu and Genjutsu! Asagao! Those prisoners are yours to eat. If you can, Hokage sama wants you to work on producing as much Truth venom as you can so we can stock up on it. He is willing to pay you, so stop by sometime this week to work out your payment plan. He also wants you to join me today for a meeting with the Jonin Sensei's to introduce you and make a contract. I don't know the details so don't ask. Your individual training will focus on Taijutsu and Genjutsu. Weapons training will also be a focus for you, but honestly, I want you to be our Ace in the hole. Sakura, Asagao! Because of your looks you are easily underestimated and will be targeted. Enemies will underestimate you because you are young women. You know this. I want you, Asagao to use your beauty to your advantage. I will ask you to lure enemies with Genjutsu into traps made by Naruto or Sasuke. I will ask you to become a completely different person, and flirt with the enemy. You will learn more about using your body to your advantage from Anko-chan. This could lead to, if you are caught by a strong opponent, to sexual assault. Its my job to train you how to use your body against your enemies, so as part of your Taijutsu training, i will be teaching you and Sakura both how to get out of different holds. I want you girls to focus more of your training on flexibility than weight lifting. You boys will learn this too, but not to the extent that i will be teaching the girls. I want all of you, in a dodging session, to dodge every single rubber ball sent at you by both me and my Co-worker Might Gai. At once. Once you can do that, then I will sign you up for the Chunin exams. I don't want a single enemy we face to be able to use your body against itself. Asa-chan, Naruto. You both know why I am adamant about this. Naruto, that prank Jutsu you pulled against Hokage sama, what did you call it?"  Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly. " A-ah. Its my Oiroke-no Jutsu, or Sexy technique. I apologized to Jiji afterwards, I swear! He said he wasn't mad, just to not do it  in front of him again!" Kakashi Sensei ruffled Naru-chan's hair, chuckling at him in amusement. " Naruto, I want you teach it to your teammates. Hokage sama had a Hyuga standing guard that day who noticed that your body actually physically changed into that of a female. Its not a Genjutsu technique, which means it is perfect for infiltration missions. Hokage sama offered to pay you for teaching the technique to an ANBU guard, who will teach it to the others. He wants to pay you for the rights to your Jutsu, and only ANBU members and our fully trained infiltrators will know it. You I want focus on Taijutsu, Trap making and dismantling, Genjutsu resistance, because i know you can't use it, and Chakra control. I also want you to practice Chakra sensing. The Uzumaki Clan—your family, had many talented sensors. You might have that talent too. Sakura and Asago will also be doing Chakra-sensing. I myself will be training alongside you four, so don't get discouraged at the difference in our training methods. This way i can progress as well, and you guys can learn what it means to be a Jonin. Sasuke, when you reach their level you will be going through the same thing as Naruto." Sensei waited a minute, watching our faces as we took what he said into account. "Any questions? No? Well alright then. Dismissed. I will be joining you all tomorrow at training Grounds Seven, at 6AM. Asa-chan, be at the Hokage Tower at 8 tonight!"                          Wow, it was already starting to get dark and I wondered what time it was. Probably around six to six thirty. I waved to my family as they left the roof together, heading home(Sakura) and to the shop. (Naruto). I followed Sasuke, wanting to answer his questions from earlier, to get it over with. Man, today was a pretty long day. I eyed Sasuke's neck. 'Gurgle' At least Ill get to eat soon though. I wonder if he'll let me taste his blood? I might as well give him his first curing dosage as well. He smells spicy, like cinnamon tea and something smoky. Campfire? But not as harsh. The tea smell is stronger. I salivated at the thought of drinking his blood. Unknowing why, Sasuke shuddered, ignoring his body's warning and increasing his pace.
