Reborn In The Narutoverse 18 Sasuke And The Pink Kunoichi

Itachi's face turned pale and he started coughing uncontrollably, Sasuke was about to accuse Kibo of poisoning his brother, when Itachi coughed up a small black piece of contaminated lung tissue. The viscous and oblong shaped cancerous flesh hit the ground and made both Sasuke and Itachi jump back, Kibo on the other hand used a piece of bandage to wrap it up. Handing it to Itachi, he said "You should probably burn this."

Itachi, who was breathing well for the first time in ages, took the object from his hands before throwing it up and using a fire ball Jutsu to eradicate it from this world. After all was said and done, Sasuke looked to Itachi with a loving expression "Your okay now right?"

Itachi smiled as he placed his hand on his chest, "I didn't feel any pain when I used the Jutsu, so I must be better." Itachi bowed to Kibo, "Thank you! If not for you, then I'd. . ." Before Itachi could finish Kibo interrupted "Like I said before it was no problem. I did this because I wanted to."

Sasuke then bowed to Kibo, "Thank you for saving my brother."

Kibo laughed and smiled while saying, "You know Sasuke's got a lot of potential, and I'm thinking about making a training group, right now we have four in our party. Say Itachi, would you and your brother care to join?"

Kibo was thinking that if he gave the same help to Sasuke, Naruto and his rivalry with him might increase the speeds in which they train. After talking to Itachi for a bit about the situation, the two's eyes began to glow while looking at Sasuke, a s.h.i.+ver went up the child's spine as he saw their expressions.

Kibo moved over to a tree, and made another pair amulets for Sasuke and Itachi to wear, when Sasuke received it he questioned, "Is this the reason that Naruto is so strong?"

Kibo shook his head in disagreement, "Naruto's strong because he never gives up on his training, or anything he puts his mind to for that matter. I just made these recently, so this is no way responsible for his strength." Kibo moved over the lake and continued, "If you join us in our training however, you might just catch up to him in no time."

Sasuke started to seem interested, "Can you climb trees?" Kibo asked, while Sasuke proudly showed off the fact that he could "Itachi taught me this one a while ago."

Kibo looked at him and smiled, "What about water treading?" Sasuke looked surprised as Kibo strolled out onto the lake and stayed afloat.

"No way!" Sasuke shouted as he tried to do the same only to fall in face first. "Not so easy! I've separated a training regiment into sections help one master Chakra Control. First is tree climbing, then water treading both cold, and hot, and finally is the waterfall climbing. I have one more exercise but it hasn't been tested yet, walking on clouds. I theorized that if solids and liquids can be used as foot holds then why not ga.s.ses like air or clouds, it's probably just a billion times more complex."

Itachi seemed surprised, as he was deep in thought, "You know I think it might be possible." Itachi looked up at a cloud, "Your right in thinking of using clouds before stepping on air. But how are you going to get up there." Kibo spread his Star Wings as he smiled "Getting up there isn't a problem, however like I said, using Chakra to stand on clouds is very complex, even I haven't managed to pull it off yet."

Itachi was even more intrigued now, when he said, "What will I be doing in this training group?" Kibo looked at him and confirmed "Mostly self training, you'll be there for mostly guidance whenever they have questions. Then they have to rely on each other if they don't understand. Helps build trust and teamwork."

Itachi seemed even more interested now, when he pulled out scroll from his sleeve and tossed to Sasuke. "I asked the Hokage for a body training technique for you, since you've been asked for one Sasuke." Kibo noticed that it was a copy of the same Pink Muscle Transformation Technique that he gave Sarutobi. He chuckled and said, "Actually it's that same technique that Naruto's already mastered." Sasuke thought back to Naruto's punch, "Hah! With this I'll catch up to the dweeb in no time." As he read over the technique he saw that it required one to go through quite a bit of pain, his face only paled for a moment before it was replaced with a steeled resolution.

Kibo was about to leave, when thought he spotted a certain pink haired Kunoichi that was hiding behind a tree in the distance, activating his Tengan and confirmed his suspicions. A smile crept across his face as he flickered over and back holding her by the back of her collar like a lost cat; Itachi was surprised to see how proficient Kibo was with the technique. It was part of the academy's curriculum, so he knew he had access to it, but he never thought he would have mastered in such a short time.

Sakura was holding a lunch box and shaking because she didn't know what happened. "Sakura!?" Sasuke shouted, Kibo smiled even more, "Oh he knows her name?" Kibo thought maybe Sasuke would have actually had a thing for her, since things with the Uchiha have changed a bit, or maybe she was always his type; because what Sasuke did next and Sakura's reaction to it made him suspicious. Sasuke looked around, and sighed when he confirmed that whatever he was looking for wasn't there.

"Sakura I'm sorry for throwing away your last Bento you gave me!" Sasuke bowed making everyone stunned. "If it makes you feel better I made a Bus.h.i.+n under the railing that caught it. If those fan girls saw me accepting it. . ." Sasuke shuddered before continuing "Let's just say the last girl decided to quit school." Itachi seemed shocked, when Kibo suddenly teased Sasuke "Don't tell you're afraid of some girls!"

Sasuke snapped back "You don't know! Fan Clubs are scary!"

Sakura who was now blus.h.i.+ng asked "D. d. d. Did you like it?"

Sasuke replied plainly stating "It tasted a little burnt."

Sakura looked down and a little disappointed in herself when Kibo said "He still ate it."

Sasuke blushed as Sakura tried to hide the lunch box she brought with her behind her back, when Sasuke said, "Is that one for me too?" She swung her head left and right, trying to refuse when he quickly took it from her. She placed her hand out and it looked like she was about to cry from embarra.s.sment. Sasuke opened the box and saw there were a few less burnt spots then yesterday, he smiled as he ate the sausage, rice, and sunny side up eggs. After he finished it, he commented "A least you're improving!"

She ran behind Itachi and hid her forehead with her hands; Itachi actually thought her reaction was kind of cute, while he looked back at Sasuke with a funny smile. "What's with that smile?" Sasuke asked lifting a brow, "Nothing!" Itachi said while chuckling under his breath.

When out of the blue, Kibo chimed in "You know Sakura, if you were strong enough, then even those fan girls wouldn't be able to do a thing to you. Sasuke's learning a body cultivation technique right now. If you learn it with him, not only will you get to spend time with him, you can join him when he comes to train with us. Wouldn't you agree Itachi?" Sakura looked as if she had an epiphany, she then quickly returned to blus.h.i.+ng embarra.s.sment mode.

Itachi laughed and said, "The technique requires either the person to have at least the lowest level of lightning affinity or have a Raiton user perform the technique on them over a series of sessions." Itachi looked at Sakura "Sakura do you have an affinity for lightning?" Sakura looked confused as Itachi pulled out a piece of testing paper, "Put your Chakra into this."

Sakura did as told and as her Chakra flowed onto the paper, as Itachi stated that she has incredible control over her Chakra, the paper dampened as the corners turned to stone and crumbled away. "Earth and Water two high level affinities. Well I guess Sasuke will just have to use the technique on you!"

Sasuke blushed and shouted, "Nii Chan just what are you trying to make your little brother do!" Sakura was confused when Kibo enlightened her. "He would have to deliver small shocks of electricity into your body over a long period of time; which meant that he would have to touch pretty much everywhere. Sakura blushed and felt faint, when Itachi said, "I hope you're not expecting me to do it." Sasuke knew he couldn't win this argument when he said, "I can ask Mom to do it!" Itachi looked like he had all the fun dragged out of him when he replied "Yes I supposed she could."

Now that the awkward situation was over Kibo made one more amulet, after handing to Sakura he looked to Itachi and said, "When they learn the Shadow Clone Technique, and master their Pink Muscle Transformation come meet us at the Training cave early in the morning. We can send our Shadow Clones to school, and train our main bodies at another location."

Itachi agreed with him and Kibo left with Karin, he waved goodbye and walked off into the distance."

Kibo walked Karin home and dispelled his Shadow Clone. Naruto and he were training with Chen, or rather getting their b.u.t.ts kicked by him. When Naruto said, "That was weird." Chen hit him in the gut sending him flying into a tree, "Are you going to be this distracted if one of your shadow clones disperses in combat?" Chen gave him a dangerous stare and continued "If so maybe you should just give up and go home!" as Naruto stood up and wiped the blood from his fore head he said, "I never give up." Chen let out a pleased smile as Kibo tried to sneak in a flying kick; Chen grabbed his foot and slammed his body into Naruto, sending them both flying.

"What's was so weird?" Kibo said as he stood up, "Hias.h.i.+ K.O-ed my Clone while yelling, what are your intentions with my daughter?" Kibo started laughing when Chen who over heard him said, "Aren't you a little young for that stuff kid?" Naruto looked confused and asked, "Too young for what?"

Kibo fell to the ground and started laughing even harder as their master had a bit of blush on his face, "Never you mind; let's get back to training." The two stood up to further receive their continued beatings, right up until it was time to leave.

The next few weeks seemed to blend together as Naruto, and Kibo were desperately training with all their might, when four people could be seen walking up to the training cave, Itachi, Sakura, Sasuke, and Hinata.

"What's he doing here!?" Naruto asked fuming, "Relax Naruto, I thought it would be a good idea to invite your rival. They say good rivals can bring out the best parts in each other's abilities."

"He's sooo not qualified to be my rival!" Naruto said ticking off Sasuke, "What did you say Naru-tard?" The two b.u.mped foreheads "You heard me Sas-lame! You wanna go?!" Kibo laughed as he said, "Careful you look like you're trying to kiss!" Sasuke jumped back in disgust and got into a fighting position, Naruto reflected his actions. The two started to fight when Kibo stood next to Itachi and said, "What did I tell you, these two were born to be rivals." Itachi nodded as he saw Kibo smiling at him. "What do you say, wanna learn how to walk on clouds? Kibo spread his wings, not giving Itachi a chance to refuse as he lifted him into the air.

Once they were above the clear white sea of mist, he hovered above the thickest cloud he could find, Itachi's feet were just barely touching it. "I can't focus on maintaining my wings, and cloud walking. I also tried to release them but the falling makes it a lot harder to adjust, so I can never nail down how to move my Chakra." Itachi looked over the village and smiled, "You know, I'm a little jealous of your ability to fly." Kibo laughed and said, "Then you better learn how to walk on air! After you figure it out, you help me in return!"
