Team 7

"Phew, about time," Yami said as he fell onto his bed

"It only took an hour, shush," Kaki said as he sat a broom against the wall

"So, since its a new day, we got the apartment clean, how about we go out? Maybe even stop by Ichiraku Ramen, then if we get bored we could get back to training," Grey

"Yeah!! I've been craving some Ichiraku!!" Kaki

"Anything to get out of the house before you find something else that we need to clean," Yami

"Hehehehe, yeah, you got a serious problem with keeping stuff clean bro," Kaki

"That's what happens when you're raised in a neat freak family, you tend to pick up habits," Grey said as he walked to the door

"Enough of that, come on," Grey said as he walked out leading the others to follow

--------

"So, I'm going after Mei, Yami is going after Samui, so who do you want to get with?" Kaki asked Grey as they were strolling down the street

"Kaguya," Grey

".....huh?" Kaki

"How would you even?" Yami

"With the power of I don't fucking know, I'll find a way when she appears I guess," Grey

"Hehehehe, christ, should have known," Kaki

"So, since we're almost there, have you two thought about who's gonna pay for Ichiraku?" Grey

"......." Kaki

"........." Yami

"..." Grey

"I MEAN!!!" Kaki

"You were the one to bring it up, after all, soooooooo uhhhhhhhhhhh," Yami

".....Fucken A, alright I'll pay," Grey sighed as they reached the front of the shop, walking threw the fabric they saw the entirety of team 7 there, seeing this they all almost started fangirling, walking next to Naruto Grey took his seat leading Kaki and Yami to sit next to him

"So, Kakashi sensei! Do you have any special training planned for us to prepare us for the Chunin Exams?" Sakura asked

"Hmm, not really," Kakashi said causing Naruto Sakura and Sasuke to almost fall over

"WAAAA!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!!!!!!" Naruto

"The training isn't going to change," Kakashi said causing his team to start shouting at him, but just then, the owner of the shop walked in front of Grey, Yami, and Kaki

"Hey, you three!! Long time no see! Where's Nera? He's usually always with you three when you come here around this time," Teuchi the shop owner asked

"..." The three of them were silent until grey spoke up

"He...Passed away on our first mission," grey said causing the shop to go quiet

"O-oh, I'm sorry I didn't know," Teuchi

"It's fine, he wouldn't want anyone mopping around," Grey

"Yeah, tell you what, order what you want, it's on the house," Teuchi

"There's no nee-" Grey

"No, please, I insist," Teuchi

"Hehe, alright, ill take a large bowl of Miso Chashu Pork Ramen," Grey

"I'll take the same," Yami

"Me too!" kaki

"Yeah!! Coming right up!!" Teuchi said as he started to prepare their food

"So, Grey, since your essentially the team leader, and the battle strategist, do you think you could help me with something?" Kaki

"Hmm? Yeah sure, what is it?" Grey

"Since you know the most about weapons and stuff since you have no Chakra, do you think you can give me lessons on using swords?" Kaki

"Sure, I haven't used swords much though, so my Kenjutsu is lacking, but yeah I have no problem," Grey

"Great! when do you think we can start?" Kaki

"Well, I have a couple of wooden swords at the house, so tomorrow we can grab them and go to the training grounds, want in on this Yami?" Grey

"Yeah!! We could even have sword sparring between me and Kaki," Yami

"Yeah!!! That way we can get better!!" Kaki

"Come on now, we need to get back to training," Kakashi said to team 7, causing them to exit Ichiraku ramen

"Hmm," Grey thought to himself about something but was snapped out of his thoughts by a bowl being placed in front of him

"Here you three go!!" Teuchi

"Thank you for the meal!" The three of them said as they started to eat

-----------------------

"Uggghhhh," Kaki said as the three of them arrived at the training grounds

"Told you not to eat so quickly," Grey

"I know, but it was so good!!" Kaki

"Hey guys, look," Yami said causing the two of them to look in the direction he was pointing, what they saw was team 7 training

"Hmm, they did say something about the chunin exams, so they're gonna have to train extremely hard

"Yeah, wait, so what's gonna happen to us? Are we gonna be assigned a different Sensei? Are we gonna have to wait until the next Chunin exams?" Kaki

"More than likely yeah, and I'm fine with that, gives us more time to train and prepare," Grey

"Hmmm, Yeah, but us just being given a new sensei doesn't sit well with me," Yami

"You can always just stop being a shinobi, people die, and more people have to step up to replace their spots, it's just how life is," Grey said as he walked towards the same wooden log he was training on Yesterday

"...I guess he's right," Kaki

"..Yeah, but, it just doesn't sit right with me," Yami said as he and Kaki started doing their own training

---------

About an hour has gone past since they arrived at the training grounds, and right now Yami and Kaki noticed team 7 taking a break, so they decided to talk to them

"Hey, you're Naruto right?" Yami

"Huh? Yeah! Naruto! Naruto Uzumaki!!" Naruto

"Yeah, I knew I recognized you! You live in the same apartment building as me and my brothers," Yami

"Oh really? That's awesome! We're gonna have to hang out sometime!!" Naruto

"Yeah, you and my brother Kaki will get along great, he's got the same personality as you," Yami

"oh really? Where is he?" Naruto

"Over there trying to talk to....what's his name? Sasuke?" Yami

"Oh? Yeah, that's his name! Hey, where the other guy, the one with the deep voice," Naruto

"Deep voice?.....Huh, I guess Grey's voice is somewhat deep, isn't it? Well he's over there," Yami said pointing to Grey, who was talking with Kakashi

----------

"What are you reading?" Grey asked Kakashi who was reading his makeout novel

"Huh! uhh nothing!" Kakashi hides his book

"Hmm, Makeout, my sensei read that series as well, he even managed to get a signed copy

"What!! really!!" Kakashi

"Yeah, he met the author a couple of times, even went drinking with him before," Grey

".....do you want to sell it?" Kakashi

"Naw, I'm gonna keep it as a memento, maybe read some of it myself," Grey

"Awww," Kakashi hung his head

"But, if you want, he did get his autograph on a kunai as well," grey

"How much!!" Kakashi shouted causing Grey to just smile
