When Yumiko told him to not lose that fire, Naruto thought that something extraordinary and serious thing will face them
Not that she was laying because It seems like keeping that 'flame' was easy said than done.
Groaning, Naruto threw another hard gum in the trash bag after removing it with a plastic scraper.
They were in the kids park, currently empty since they are cleaning it and it was only their third mission
"Boorinnnnnng" He whined while adjusting his position to sitting, he looked at Yumiko who was starting blankly at the clouds on top of a tree. She didn't even hear him!
Puffing his cheeks, Naruto was about to complains more but unfortunately was stopped by Sakura smacking his head
"Stop it Naruto! If you keep holding us back by your whining we will never get to learn our jutsu!" She glanced at Sasuke before looking back to him "So focus"
Naruto frowned at her words, not replying and instead focusing his sight at the plastic scraper in his hands.
Suddenly an idea popped up to his mind. laughing mischievously, Naruto created dozen of shadow clones before yelling;
"This way we will finish the job faster!" startled, Sakura glanced at Yumiko who was now looking at them blankly after sensing a ton of chakra being released.
Feeling Sakura's stare, she looked at her before shrugged indicating her indifference about it
✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦
"Man, it was a long day" Naruto mumbled while stretching himself, they were back to training ground seven and it was finally the time to learn a new jutsu!
"Start with me Yumiko! I want to be the first to learn a jutsu!"
"No" She answered bluntly with a smirk "You three shall fight me head on, and then I will teach you your jutsus" Taking out a scroll, she unsealed her Gunbai and took a fighting position
"Let's begin!" She declared
Dozens of Naruto clones flood the clearing. They rush at Yumiko, shouting and charging with wild energy. Yumiko spins her Gunbai, releasing a gust of slicing wind that shred through half the clones.
But the real Naruto slips through the chaos, aiming a punch. She catches his fist effortlessly with one hand, then slams him to the ground with wind-enhanced strength.
"You are too predictable Naruto-kun"
Suddenly, Sasuke appears behind her, launching a Fire jutsu
'Fire style: phoenix fire jutsu'
Flames shoot out like bullets. Yumiko smirks and counters with her own fire
'Fire Style: Dragon's Roar!' a wide wave of flame from her Gunbai. The two techniques collide midair, erupting in a burst of smoke and heat.
Sasuke, squinting through the smoke, leaps forward with a kunai, but Yumiko sidesteps, her Gunbai edge glowing as she slashes the air, a curved wind blade knocks him back.
'Shit' He grunted.
Sakura charges in next by throwing shurikens and kunais to distract her while Naruto tried to sneak behind Yumiko and deliver a punch.
Using body flicker, Yumiko looked at them with a devilish grin on top of a tree "Am gonna so enjoy this"
With a graceful spin, Yumiko leaps into the air, her arm charged with wind before slamming it into the ground
"Hurricane fist!"
✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦
"I must admit, I never thought I would get hit four times by you two" She said while eying both Sasuke and Naruto
All of them were panting, the fight was anything but easy. Unfortunately, Yumiko stopped the fight seeing them getting nowhere.
Naruto stamina was impressive allowing him to fight her for hours without being exhausted, and also it served as an advantage for his teammates to take a short breath.
Too bad Yumiko wasn't a jinshuriki
"Well, I see you kids enjoyed your day with Yumiko, maybe I should allow her to be your new team-leader instead of me?" Kakashi said half-jokingly while walking out from his hiding place.
"" No!"" Taken aback by their quick answer, he raised his eyebrow in amusement.
Narrowing her eyes at them, Yumiko crossed her arms over her chest, huffing in annoyance "Come on I am not that bad, at least I am not like Kakashi-sensei!"
"And whats wrong with Kakashi-sensei?" Kakashi looked at her skeptically, eye narrowed.
"You are secretly a pervert" Naruto said loudly with a fox-like grin on his face
"oh" Realizing his mistake, Naruto turned to Yumiko while scratched his neck awkwardly "Nee Yumiko-chan, can we start now?"
"Naruto, can't you see our state? We are torn from that fight!" Sakura said the obvious, crossing her arms with clear irritation
"Sakura is right" Yumiko said softly before adding, "However, if you want me to teach you now then its okay, a promise is a promise. As for you two, I shall teach you tomorrow since your chakra is low"
"tch" Sasuke leaved the clearing without another word, something was wrong with him for sure, however Yumiko didn't care enough to check on him knowing his stubborn character. As for Sakura, she took her leave seconds after telling her goodbye to Kakashi.
"You better keep this jutsu a secret and only use it when needed, and remember, never use it on your allies" Yumiko looked at him seriously while putting her hand on his shoulder and squeezing it.
"You bet!" Naruto said matching her seriousness on his own way.
Smiling Yumiko started "This jutsu is called shadow clone explosion-"
While she kept explaining the jutsu
Kakashi stared at them, his focus was more on Yumiko while he pondered
'What would Naruto feel if I told him she is his distant relative? hmm that would be an interesting sight...'
