The Turning Point

A Month Of Training

"Naruto I won't be training you but I've found someone to oversee your progress for the final round of the Chunin Exams" Kakashi said calmly.

So Kakashi won't be training Naruto or me and he'll focus on Sasuke. I guess that makes sense with the seal and all but it's still a little disappointing. If I didn't have Tsunade-sama I don't know what I'd do, Sakura thought.

"AH HA! I knew it! You're going to train Sasuke aren't you! Why is it always him!?" Naruto demanded angrily.

"Don't complain I have other matters to attend to but I've found you someone even better than me to teach you" Kakashi replied cheerfully.

"Really? Who is it!?" Naruto asked suspiciously.

"It is I" A posh sounding voice spoke up from behind Naruto. The blond boy turned around to see Konohamaru's private tutor Ebisu.

"WHA! Not you, you pervert!" Naruto yelled and edged away from Ebisu.

"Such insolence!" Ebisu replied and adjusted his glasses.

"KAKASHI SENSEI! WHY WOULD YOU PICK HIM!? HE SAW MY SEXY JUTSU ONCE AND FELL TO PIECES!" Naruto yelled at Kakashi who regarded Ebisu with a look of annoyance.

GAH! THE HAUNTING SEXY JUTSU! BE QUIET ABOUT THAT YOU LITTLE BRAT! Ebisu thought as he grabbed Naruto and reassured him that he would buy him whatever he wanted to eat as long as he shut up.

"WHO THE HELL IS SHOUTING IN MY HOSPITAL!?"

Sakura stiffened immediately and recognised the furious voice of Tsunade. A door behind the reception desk opened and the angry blonde woman appeared. She stomped over and fixed them all with a look of violent rage.

Please Kami I'm begging you don't let Naruto say anything stupid to enrage Tsunade-sama, Sakura pleaded.

"Who the heck are you granny?" Naruto asked crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!?" Tsunade yelled and punch Naruto into the wall.

There goes that idea, Sakura thought and lifted a hand to her forehead. Kakashi sighed as his loudmouth student detached himself from the wall which now sported a huge hole.

"What the heck was that for lady?" Naruto bellowed and was about to say more when Kakashi covered his mouth.

"For making noise in my hospital, for calling me a granny when I am not a day older than thirty and for being a general annoyance" Tsunade said ticking the points of on her hand.

"Naruto show some respect. This is Lady Tsunade; she is a renowned medical ninja one of the best and one of the legendary Sanin so you would be wise to watch your tongue" Kakashi said calmly.

One of the Sanin? Sakura thought, confused at Kakashi's words.

"Whatever I don't get what's so great about this lady with big boobs anyway" Naruto whined like a toddler and Tsunade looked ready to punch him again but Sakura stepped in.

"Uh don't mind Naruto he's like that with everyone and you're sorry right Naruto for being so disrespectful?" Sakura urged digging her elbow into Naruto's side.

Naruto grunted but nodded in response, Tsunade narrowed her eyes but seemed satisfied and turned her attention to Sakura.

"You're that girl with pink hair who healed Hinata Hyuga right? Those medical nurses tell me you did a great job. Hinata is in a stabilised condition but she's still out of it" Tsunade remarked.

Sakura shifted uncomfortably it was odd to have to pretend she didn't know Tsunade but she smiled and bowed her head in thanks nonetheless. Naruto seemed pleased about Hinata's condition as well and grinned happily.
