Sorry this part came out later. I'm just busy with Thanksgiving. Also happy Thanksgiving tomorrow. But onto Naruto trying to be a teacher.

Naruto danced through the rapid strikes of Inari's sword with ease. But Inari was ready with a plan to counter it. Throwing a kunai with an explosion tag on the end at Naruto.

Jumping back to dodge what would happen next. Naruto easily grabbed the kunai midair and threw the tag far away. "Dang again." complained Inari loudly lowering his blade showing he was done. "It's a good idea but it won't work on someone so much above your level." explained Naruto.

"Then what should I do?" asked Inari sitting down against a tree as sweat poured down his head. "A kunai is basic. One of the most basic things any ninjas have. So, every ninja knows how to deal with it. What you need is something new. What that new thing is I don't know." said Naruto.

Inari dug his hand into the ground in frustration where he felt a pile of stones. He smiled at the new idea that came to him. Grabbing a handful of them he tossed them in his pouch. "You can go ahead with Hanabi. I got something new I want to try out." said Inari leaving the decent size clearing they had been training in.

Naruto had come up with a simple but good training form. He would tell them the group training they would all do. He would then take one of them aside for an hour to help them work on whatever they wanted.

Hanabi entered the clearing sweat already dropping from the training she was doing before. "Alright so want do you want to learn?" "Speed." requested Hanabi. "Speed?" questioned Naruto wondering what she meant.

"Yeah, can you make me faster. Like help me attack faster." explained Hanabi. Naruto smiled, "yeah, put these on." Naruto took out two different sets of weights.

They were fairly light, only at ten pounds. But they felt far heavier when they were on you. Hanabi with the help of Naruto put them on. Naruto stepped back watching as Hanabi tried to move with the weights on.

After giving her a bit of time to get used to it he told her what to do. "Alright attack me." Hanabi nodded thrusting an open palm strike at him. The move she had done so many times before till it was as normal as breathing failed.

Her arm flopped down, while she almost tripped at the same time. "I got you." said Naruto catching her right before she almost fell on her face. "I'm taking these damn things off."

"Don't." said Naruto. "Why can't I. All their going to do is make it impossible for me to fight." claimed Hanabi. "And after that you'll be stronger than ever. Do you think Hinata got that strong without wanting to quite." said Naruto.

"Your right." agreed Hanabi, getting back into her clan's stance. "You ready?" "Yep." "Then let's go." said Naruto s Hanabi launched another palm strike at him. This time it was faster and much cleaner. "Better," Naruto smiled until he got hit in the stomach.

Naruto smiled as he walked onto the training ground. He had the team for around 2 weeks or so now. But you could clearly see how they had changed in that time. They all no longer seemed unsure but confident.

He also had good news. He was able to finally convince Tsunade to give them a C rank mission after they had done well over 10 D rank missions. "Alright I got big new guys." said Naruto once he got near enough to them.

"New training." guessed Hanbai. "New gear." guessed Inari. "We finally get a rank." guessed Konohamaru his voice sounding the most hopeful. "Correct." said Naruto.

"We got a mission to deal with a small camp of bandits attacking a trade route." "Awesome we finally got a real ninja mission." shouted Konohamaru jumping with joy.

Naruto smiled remembering how he felt when he caught his first C rank. "Where is it?" asked Hanabi remembering a picture of a map she saw a while ago. "It's on one of the highways to the land of hot water." explained Naruto.

Hanabi nodded as Inari asked his question. "So, what is our plan?" "We find the bandits and we beat them up." suggested Konohamaru. "No Konohamaru of course there's a lot more to it than that." said Hanabi.

"I mean yeah that is kind of what we're doing." agreed Naruto getting Hanabi to deadpan. "Awesome!" claimed Konohamaru. "So, when do we leave?" asked Inari. "Tomorrow." answered Naruto. 

Sorry this part was short I was a bit pressed on time. But what will happen now. They just got their first C rank mission find out next time.
