The team [Part-38]

After resting for a few minutes, Ura clapped to get their attention and began his announcement.

"Now then, for today we've officially met each other. I'll escort you all home and we'll discuss about what you all did today, individually, on the way."-Ura

Veronica didn't pay much attention to whatever Ura had said later. She had gotten the gist of what was happening.

She noticed that it wasn't that late. It had seemed like the three had been training for days however, at best, it must've been about 3 to 4 hours. She sighed at the thought how much she still needs to improve.

'Well, maybe I will become an ANBU. It'll be better than just jumping through ranks like usual. Plus, I don't really want to get involved in the Orochimaru event at the chunin exams.'

[I doubt that they'll make you an ANBU by then. You will need to do a lot of missions to qualify for that. Plus, who knows what sort of test you'll have to face in order to prove your loyalty to the village.]-Matatabi

'Right... *Sigh* There's still the issue with my loyalty, isn't there? That goddamn Danzo... I don't know whether to be impressed by his thinking ability or be discouraged right now.'

[Discouraged? You?]-Matatabi

[Those two words don't go together.]-Tobirama

'Nice to know you have such faith in me'

It was a dry conversation. No particular emotion coming from them.

Veronica noticed how the real Ura went away and left a shadow clone for each of them. She wondered where he went but decided to first investigate her two teammates and then her teacher at a later date.

The walk was fairly peaceful. Ura was giving her a summary of what her abilities currently were and where she needed to improve. The advice was appreciated by Veronica. She wanted to compare the analytical ability of Ura to Tobirama.

"You're much better than a lot of people your age. However, you should focus on not using too much of your chakra in a real fight. I noticed how your emotions effect the amount of chakra you use and that, is very dangerous. For you, and your opponent. The more chakra you waste, the more weaker you'll be in a long battle.

I'd recommend chakra control exercises but your problem is different and usual methods won't exactly work on it. So, you'll be having many combat experiences with your teammates and me from now on.

You can get your friends to help you out with it as well."-Ura

'Wow, he was able to discern all that from a single fight. I guess psycho teacher is pretty good. I should work on hiding my emotions in a fight more for now.'

She was genuinely impressed by this. She had talked to a couple of chunins before however, she had just now understood the difference between a Jonin and a Chunin's thinking ability.

"For now, we'll be working on this and getting you a specialty that fits you completely in a fight. Both of your teammates will also be working on it, although, I will be having you all master any and all weapons, we can get our hands on."-Ura

"He does but if he were to face an Aburame or someone who can easily deflect his insects then he would most certainly lose. The Aburame clan right now is focusing on their clan heir, Shino Aburame, your friend. Ohta is just an average kid so he won't be getting to learn all the things that the other kids will.

So, we need to get him something that would make him special."-Ura

He had a kind smile on his face as though he wasn't grinning like a psycho when he saw Ohta and Tanaka fight. This made Veronica sigh internally. She knew that dealing with this man would be hard but the more she found out about him, the more harder it got.

"You'll see about that."-Ura

His tone had slight amusement in it as they both came to a stop. Veronica bowed to show her respect and thanks and went in the house.

"I'm home."-Veronica

Her voice, as usual, was just above a whisper. It seems as though Kakashi left his dogs home as they all jumped up on her to get her attention.

'Looks like, he isn't back yet. Figures, the academy was just over an hour or two ago, after all. Maybe I'll go and see how they're all doing.'

Pakkun ran over to her while she pets his soft fur. Giving him some treats, the two headed over to where Kakashi was.

Seeing him on the rooftop with the infamous team 7, she ran up the stairs as fast she could with her remaining strength.

Giving all of them a bright smile, she sat by her temporary guardian.

"*Sigh* What are you doing here Veronica?"-Kakashi

"Wait, you two know each other?"-Sakura

"Oh yea, he's the guy who was hanging around your apartment a couple of times!"-Naruto

The three Genin looked at the duo for answers and Veronica just gave them one of her eye smiles, similar to Kakashi's. The man didn't bother to answer them as well and just went back to what he was saying about the test.

[No matter how hard you try, these three will always be dumb won't they?]-Tobirama

*If you focus on the hurt, you will continue to suffer. If you focus on the lesson, you will continue to grow.*
