Training Again - Trying to reach a new level

Junsei closed her eyes and tried to suppress the mark even harder.

" It's nothing Naruto-san. Don't come any closer!" Junsei said as she feel to her knees.

She was losing the battle to her marks at a slow, steady, but painful pace.

Naruto holder her. "That mark....it's Orochimaru's fault right?" He said while doing some seals and placing his pal on the born place of the mark.

Junsei jumped as she felt a palm on the start of her mark.

"That mark....it's Orochimaru's fault right?"

Junsei nodded as she felt the mark fight for awhile , but went back into its place.

" Arigato Naruto-san," Junsei said as she looked at Naruto.

"Naruto, you sure missed a lot."

"Hmm. What you mean?" Naruto looked at the person who talked after helping the girl with the mark.

"Um... I'd rather not say..."

" What do you want to know Naruto-san?" Junsei asked.

Naruto looked at the girl that said his name. "I want to know why were you fighting." He said while looking at her.

"...It's nothing. It's over now, anyway." Aiden walked back to Naka, and took back his cloak. "That was kinda fun, though. I haven't used my blood in a long time."

Naruto looked at the boy who talked with a curious look on his face before turning to the girl again.

Junsei took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

" We were fighting because, Orochimaru-oji0san said that If I ever saw you, I was supposed to fight you or tell him when I got the chance. Aiden-san just stopped me from attacking you, by telling me to fight with him." Junsei said as she looked down at the ground.

Naruto keeped looking at the girl without saying a word. After years of training, Naruto learned how to control the rage and how to listen to the others.

Junsei looked back up at Naruto.

' He's not mad at me?" Junsei thought as she stood up, but backed away from Naruto a little.

She flicked Akashi's flames away and put him back in his sheath, hoping things would take a turn for the better.

Naruto keeped looking at her with a normal reaction.

Junsei backed away and jumped in a tree.

" I'm sorry Naruto-san. I don't have much of a choice to be near you. I may have to tell Orochimaru-oji-san about you." Junsei said as she hid behind some leaves.

"Junsei-san..." Najika sighed. Everything was so dramatic nowadays...

Naruto smirked. "Tell him. Tell him that Uzumaki Naruto is waiting for him." He said without fear.

Aiden gave a small smile. The kid had guts. "Watch what you say. It might be the end of you."

Junsei's eyes almost popped out of her head as she heard Naruto's words.

" NO! Don't say that!, She jumped out the tree and grabbed Naruto's shirt.

" Never say that! Who knows what he might do to you? Who knows who he'll bring with him! Just... don't say that, please..." Junsei said as she looked Naruto in the eye, her eyes swirling with many emotions.

Junsei bit her lip. She didn't want Orochimaru here in the Leaf, so many bad things can happen if she reported that she had seen Naruto. She let go of Naruto and backed away from him.

" Gomen. ne Naruto-san, but as much as I want to tell Oroshimaru-oji-san about you, I'm not.... But that means I have to fight you. Orochimaru-ojisan's words are absolute. I never know who is following me to make sure I do them." Junsei said as she balled her hand into a fist.

She ran to ran with a punch ready. Guess this was her only other choice..

"...well, we best not get in the way." Aiden pulled Naka away, and the two sat on a tree branch, watching. "Good luck, kid."

Naruto looked at her without moving as the fist landed in his face. He stood in the same place.

Junsei pulled her fist back after it had connected with Naruto's face.

" Naruto-san, you have to fight me back, please." Junsei said as she opened and closed her fist.

Naruto looked at her as the cut he had on his face started to heal. "You really want to fight me that badly?" He asked with a serious look on his face.

" I would rather fight you, than tell Orochimaru-ojisan about you and have him destroy the Leaf and possibly you to." Junsei said as she couched and got into a fighting stance.

"Take me to him." He said without hesitating or without showing any other emotion.
