Enter Yamaka Tsuki (Deer)

Chapter 11: Enter Yamaka Tsuki (Deer).

AN: I was at first only going to have Naruto's training but I feel showing his teammates would be a better idea. As such I have reworked it as well as adding a fair bit to the chapter as a whole. I'll likely do one more chapter before the Chunin Exams start up again or I may just to the start. Let me know how you feel about it.

The past two weeks had been some of the hardest days of his whole life. But with each passing day, he felt stronger and faster then he had the previous. Still, that didn't mean his body didn't cry out in pain every time he rose from what could charitably be called a bed. Nevertheless, he stood at the ready to begin yet another day of hard training under the ever-watchful eyes of Isao-sensei. Isao was a hard man to please but he was also fair. He wouldn't allow even the slightest amount of error in his form and it showed in the many bruises that ran up and down his body. It was thanks only to his prisoner that his body was healing as fast as it was otherwise he likely would be unable to partake in the upcoming phase of the exams. As it was he was still unsure about such a prospect. When the man finally did enter the training room a full ten minutes later than was normal for him he was accompanied by yet another. This being a woman by the looks of things and one who seemed more than ready to cut him into a thousand tiny blood-soaked pieces should she ever feel the need to.

"Naruto-chan I would like you to meet Deer-chan or Yamaka Tsuki. She'll be your sparring partner today". Isao said as she moved to the center of the room before giving a slight bow to him. Naruto doing the same in return. No sooner did he straighten from his bow did she disappear from view. Looking left then right he was unable to locate the elusive woman before feeling a hard kick to the back of his head sending him flying across the room at great speed. Righting himself in midair Naruto fired off a few kunai at the woman who effortlessly deflected each and every one. Her speed was such that by the time the last of his kunai was blocked she was once more upon him forcing him to block as best he could. However she was a Root ANBU and he was but a lowly Genin, a highly gifted Genin but still a Genin all the same. As such, she was able to block his every move and get past his blocks with seemingly no effort at all.

"Stop". Isao ordered making the woman stop in her attacks. A fact Naruto was happy with seeing as he did next to nothing in that fight.

"Naruto you're far too predictable. You are telegraphing all your moves and making it far too easy to counter you. As such you will now do 500 push-ups, 500 punches and kicks, and three miles of laps. Am I clear"? Isao asked.

"Yes, Isao-sensei". Naruto replied before beginning to do his set. As he did so the two moved far enough away so as to not have him overhear their conversation.

"The boy shows skill but I fail to see why Danzo-sama has assigned him to our organization. He is years away from even meeting our lowest of prerequisites". Yamaka said as she crossed her arms across her chest. A look of curiosity being displayed on her young beautiful face. He couldn't blame the woman, after all, it was highly unusual, even for the likes of him.

"A new bloodline if the reports sent to me are to be believed. He showed it off in his second preliminary fight in the chunin exams against the heiress of the Hyuga clan. Danzo-kun wants to know what it can do. So force him to use it". Isao said before the pair returned just in time to see Naruto finishing his last lap around the sizeable room. The slightest glistening of sweat telling them that he was only mildly tired. A minute later Naruto stopped before the pair. His chest rising and falling in a rapid fashion. Even so, the pair knew he was more than capable of continuing to fight. With a nod of his head, Yamaka once again bowed to the sunkissed boy and the two began another round all the while Isao watched ever watchful in the boy's form lest he needed to fix anything. Luckily it seemed Naruto had none this day.
