Chapter 012

In the training ground,

"Wow, how could you.....? Have you already learned Rasengan even before I taught you?" Kakashi could not believe that Ten Ten learned this jutsu during five days.

Although Ten Ten tried her best to be more realistic and reasonable by reducing the power of her 'Rasengan', Kakashi was still so surprised and could not accept it.

Ten Ten's heart skipped a beat.

'Oh , Kakashi sensei is so suspicious. I was so careless. I've to be more careful next times.'

"Kakashi sensei, you're really exaggerating. As you know, my shape transformation ability is always good. And I used 'shadow clone jutsu ' to my limit and I instructed all of my clones to practice this jutsu during these days. Even so, I could not use 'Rasengan' as easy as you do. I need two shadow clone to use this jutsu and it would take a long time to become as proficient as you are. Anyway I've completed your test. So don't delay anymore. Teach me wind release, please."

'Well, I might be too suspicious. After all, there are only four persons who mastered Rasengan in Shinobi world. Minato sensei, Jiraiya sama and me. Minato sensei was dead and Jiraiya sama is not in Konoha. So there is no other than me who could teach Rasengan. But about the wind release. Is it still too early to develop third chakra attribute? Should I really teach her now?' Kakashi sighed.

Kakashi scratched his silver white hair and replied.

"Ahem, actually I didn't expect you to learn 'Rasengan' during five days. And I'm.... no Kakashi is ....I mean real Kakashi is very busy right now. So he just sent me, a shadow clone. Let's just practice kenjutsu. As for wind release, I'll definitely teach you next time."

Ten Ten was disappointed.

"Ummm...yeah, Kakashi sensei"

"Don't disappoint. You've already learned two chakra attributes. Most chunin can only use one chakra attribute. By the way, why were you guys delaying to participate chunin exam? With your team's strength , it wouldn't be difficult to pass the exam, at least first two exams. If it's because Guy didn't agree to let three of you participate in chunin exam, I'll help to persuade Guy."

"No, Guy sensei told us to participate chunin exam last time. But we think we are still not strong enough to participate chunin exam and need more experiences. So we declined it last time."

Actually, it was her who suggested to decline to participate previous chunin exam. And Neji also firmly support her suggestion. Rock Lee also followed that suggestion after his two teammates agreed not to participate.

Ten Ten was waiting for the next chunin exam because she could complete at least two missions if she participate in the next chunin exam. After all, Gaara the future fifth Kazekage and Jinchuriki of one tail, Gaara would participate in the next chunin exam. As for Neji, he was waiting for Hyuga Hinata to beat her. Ten Ten still could not find a better solution for this problem. If she stops Neji from beating Hinata, his hate and anger would be suppress temporarily. But after some time, his hate and anger would explode and completely devour him. And she did not want to hurt Hinata, a kind hearted and innocent girl. Neji's father death was not her fault and she was also a victim of that incident. Should she intervene or just ignore? She could not make a decision.

After hearing Ten Ten's answer, Kakashi was confused.

'You think your strength weren't enough to participate chunin exam. Are you kidding me? The strength of each of you can defeated a normal genin team.'

Unlike Kakashi in the canon, current Kakashi knew more about Team Guy because he was guiding Ten Ten in ninjutsu and kenjutsu.

" Alright, let's talk about chunin exam later. For now, we should focus on training kenjutsu. Show me the kenjutsu that you're developing last time."

"Yes, Kakashi sensei," Ten Ten nodded. Then she opened the first two gates of the eight gates technique and swang her sword fiercely.

"Shadowless crescent"

A second later, a wooden post from five meters away was completely cut off and a deep sword mark appeared on the trunk of the tree behind it.

Kakashi amazed after seeing the damage caused by 'Shadowless crescent'.

"Wow, cutting power of this jutsu is really increased a lot."

Ten Ten smiled and proudly explained her jutsu.

"Yeah, after you told me to add shape transformation or a chakra attribute to increase cutting power, I tried some ways. At first, I coated the sword with water chakra and lightning chakra by using chakra flow. But the results were not satisfactory. Although the power of jutsu was increased, the attacks became visible and didn't match with the name of jutsu. "

She continued to explain.

"Fortunately I found the most suitable way to increase cutting power after some failed attempts. It was really simple. I have to create a thin charka threat on the blade before using 'shadowless crescent' to increase cutting power."

" Well done, it's really amazing. So you've developed a move for your kenjutsu technique. And have you named your kenjutsu technique?"

"No , I've developed three moves. I planned to call the move with lightning charka as 'Thunderous crescent ' and the move with water chakra as 'Hazy crescent'. As for the name of the whole technique, I named it "Crescent Blade". Is it cool, right?"

Kakashi shooked his head and replied.

"No, I think it's too girly. You should give a more domineering name such as 'Bloody Fang' or 'Claws of Hell'."

" I don't like those brutal names. How about "Crimson Crescent"? This name is beautiful and scary at the same time."

" At least better than 'Crescent Blade'," said Kakashi.

Then they continued their training. Ten Ten used her new sword moves and Kakashi gave her some advice like how to reduce chakra consuming, how to improve the attack power of the moves, what were the weakness of the moves, etc.

.....

Next morning,

In the training ground, Ten Ten was helping Naruto in his training. Naruto shot some shurikens to multiple targets continuously. The shurikens collided each other in the air and finally all shurikens hit the bull's eyes.

"Do you see that, big sister? I've told you I'm really proficient in shurikenjutsu. And you have already tested my taijutsu yesterday. So please teach me some cool jutsu like 'body flicker jutsu'and 'shadow clone jutsu'."

After hearing Naruto's request, Ten Ten could understand how Kakashi sensei felt when she nagged him to teach her wind release. Ten Ten shooked her head and persuaded Naruto.

" Naruto, I think you should just focus on three basic body ninjutsu. After all the graduation exam is coming. And more importantly I can't teach you advanced techniques as I'm not a jonin. Moreover..."

Before she could not finish her words, a voice interrupted her.

"Ten Ten"

Neji appeared on the training ground and said.

"Guy sensei said we had to prepare for mission. See you at the village entrance tomorrow."

"Wait, didn't Guy sensei said we would only take mission after resting two weeks? I think we still have about four days."

"It was not Guy sensei took the mission. The clients specially requested us to escort them."

During these months, Team Guy had done many C rank missions especially escort mission. So they became popular in the circle of merchants who wanted to hire an escort team.

"Naruto, it seems I have to go right now. I'm sorry."

" It's okay big sister. I wish you could return to village safely, Dattebayo!"

"Thanks. I also wish you could pass your graduation exam successfully. When I come back, I wanted to see you become a genin. "

After saying goodbye to Naruto, she went back to prepare for the mission.
