Chapter 056

After the battle the group arrived at Tazuna's house. Said house was a decent sized two story house that was sitting on a dock just a little over the ocean.

As the group walked up to the house Tazuna banged on the door, "Tsunami! It's me, open up!"

The group could hear a quick shuffling of feet on the other side before the door opened, and a beautiful woman in her mid to late twenties with dark blue shoulder length hair and brown eyes could be seen. She was wearing a pink sweater, and a blue skirt.

"Tou-san!" the woman said in relief as she saw him. "Thank goodness you're alright!"

"Of course I'm alright!" Tazuna said with a large relieved smile at seeing his daughter. "It's all thanks to these ninja here."

Tsunami looked over Tazuna's shoulder to see the group with him. "Thank you very much." She said with a bow before she noticed the group of…triplets? Carrying Kakashi who was still completely out of it, "Oh my! Is he alright?" She asked.

"He's fine." Naruto said, deciding to take charge for the moment. "He just has a bad case of chakra exhaustion. Speaking of, is there anywhere we can let him rest?"

"Of course!" Tsunami said as she opened the door the group to enter. "I will show you to the bedroom where you can put him."

Naruto nodded as he and the other genin followed Tsunami up a set of stairs and into a hallway. She opened the first door on the left and let the Naruto clones in. Walking over to a closet in the room she opened it and grabbed a bed spread that she set out on the floor.

"Here you are," She said.

"Thank you." The clone in the front replied as they set Kakashi down. With their job done the two clones dispelled surprising Tsunami, who looked at the smoke where the clones had been in surprise.

"What the…?"

"Kage Bunshin," Naruto answered as he leaned against the wall next to window, making the woman turn to him, "They're just solid copies of myself."

Figuring it was some kind of ninja thing she nodded her head as Sakura sat down next to their sensei. "Are you going to be alright sensei?" she asked.

"Yeah…" Kakashi said in a somewhat strained voice, having woken up some time in the past few minutes. "I just won't be able to move for a week or so."

"What?" Sakura said in surprise.

"It's because of the Sharingan," Naruto said as the others looked over at him. "It's an amazing bloodline, but because Kakashi-sensei isn't an Uchiha it puts a great deal of stress on his body, since it's not built to harness the Kekkai Genkai's full potential."

Sakura and especially Sasuke looked surprised by Naruto's knowledge. Sakura looked from her her blond spiky haired teammate to her sensei, "The Sharingan sounds like an amazing bloodline…but if it puts that much stress on the body, I guess you have to think before using it."

"Dobe," Sasuke said, getting the blonde's attention. "How do you know so much about the Sharingan?"

Naruto looked over at Sasuke and shrugged, "I've been reading a lot lately. Naturally, reading about Konoha's most famous clans was one of my subjects, while there is little about how the Sharingan works, I know the basics. Like how the eyes are able to see through and copy any ninjutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu and be able turn any technique back on the original user. Aside from that, Kekkei Genkai come from specific families, or clans, if someone who is not a member from a clan gets a bloodline such as the Sharingan implanted in them it simply can't be used properly. I'm guessing that's why Kakashi-sensei has to keep his eye covered, right sensei?"

Kakashi tried nodding, but when he found it impossible just spoke. "That's right Naruto…I'm pleased to see you're studying so hard."

"Hehehe…" Naruto gave an embarrassed laugh as he rubbed the back of his head in a sheepish manner.

The group was silent for a little while after that, thinking about all that had happened and what their next move should be.

"Well, at least we defeated that strong ninja this time," Tazuna said with a relieved laugh. "So we should be safe for now."

"By the way, who was that masked kid?" asked Sakura, she had remembered reading something about ninja who wore those masks before.
