Chapter 18

Storm's POV

My eye's shoot open and I look to see Dad there, I relax and close my eyes again. "There's a door, knock next time." I say to him and Dad sighs.

"Get up, Yoshino wants to see you." Dad says to me.

I open one eye to look at him. "I'm way to tired, I didn't even get a nap between my missions and I'm low on chakra, not to mention I look like crap and my Landlady told me I look like an insomniac." I say to him and Dad looks at me with a serious look, I stare back and we end up having a staring contest, I loose and get up, I put on pajama pants with the same design as my pajama shorts and follow Dad to his house.

I look at Mom as she paces back and forth. "Mom?" I ask and she doesn't hear me, I turn the lights on an off multiple times and Mom looks at me.

"Good your here, why do you look like an insomniac?" Mom asks me.

I look at her unamused. "I was about to sleep the rest of the day and night because I'm dead tired and low on chakra, so much that I don't have enough chakra or care to heal my injuries." I say to her and Mom sighs and beckons me over and I walk over. She places her hands on my shoulders and looks me in the eyes.

"Follow me." Mom says and my face screws up in confusion but I comply because the sooner this is over the sooner I get to sleep. She takes me to the cemetery and hands me a flower. I follow her to two graves and I bend down to look at the names clearly since my vision isn't clear. 

"Yoru Senju Nara lays here. 'Don't bother me, I'm sleeping'." I look at the date to see it's exactly one month after my first birthday that she died. I look at the other one. "James Nara, 'I told you that intel would kill me'." It has the same date and I look between them for a second before I put the flower down in between the graves, I smile and silently thank them before I get up.

"I'm upset because today is the anniversary of their death and we missed your birthday last Month because of you doing constant missions." Mom says to me with a frown.

I smile at her. "Its fine, I didn't even realize I turned 17 till Shikamaru told me a week ago." I say and Mom nods. "I'm gonna go home, I need some sleep, I don't want to be labeled as an insomniac." I say and Mom laughs at that and nods.

"Ok, go on." Mom says and I nod.

I walk back to my apartment and I lay on my bed, enjoying the fact that its the afternoon and I can take a nap without being told no. I fall asleep rather quickly but quietly.

One Week Later

I stand in Tsunade's office with the other Jonin.

"Storm, you'll be assigned to Team 11." Tsunade says to me with a smirk.

"What? She's still a kid though." A Jonin says and I glance at him.

"Her name is in the bingo book, labeled as Karma, she's capable of taking on a team." Kakashi says in my defense.

I wave them off. "If any of you doubt me, then I'll prove to you that I can be a good Teacher, ask Kuro, I took her under my wing and she's almost as good as Guy and Lee with Tai-Jutsu, she knows how to escape Gen-Jutsu at Uchiha level and I'm currently teaching her one of my own techniques in Nin-Jutsu and I still haven't corrupted her with my foul tongue." I say with a smirk and everyone but Tsunade and Kakashi look at me shocked. "Ok, I'm heading out, cya." I say as I walk towards the door with a wave.

"Your student Kakashi, is probably stronger than me." Tsunade says to him.

"I wouldn't doubt it." Kakashi says to her and that's all I hear.

I take my time heading to the academy and I lean against the door of Iruka's classroom.

"And Team 11, Kuro, Haru Strife and Cloud Lock." Iruka says and finally notices me. "Oh Storm, your here."

"SENSEI?" Kuro yells shocked.

I smile at them. "Alright Team 11, follow me and nice to see you to Iruka-Sensei." I say to him with a nod.

"I feel old now, I remember when you were in my class, mocking everyone." Iruka says with a smile.

I smirk. "I can still mock, I just don't do it as much nowadays 'cause I'm busy with missions and now officially training this team." I say to him and Iruka nods.

"Go on, your sensei is here and she's early." Iruka says to the three.

I walk to the roof with the three behind me. "Why am I always early?" I say to myself.

"Sensei, do you really have to ponder on that now?" Kuro complains.

I smile at her. "I already know why, I left early so I got here early." I say to her and the two boys sweat drop.

"I think she forgot about us and how does she know Kuro?" A blonde boy asks the brown haired boy.

"I don't know." The brown haired boy says to him.

We get to the roof and I sit balanced on the railing while the three sit on the steps.

"Ok, introductions, you start." I say pointing to the brown haired kid.

"Well what are we supposed to say?" He asks me.

"I don't know, name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams, ect." I say to him. I feel someone watching us and I grab a kunai slowly but Kuro beats me to it by throwing a kunai in the tree.

"GAHHH!" Naruto yells and falls with Sakura, Sai, Kiba, Akamaru, Shino, Ten-Ten, Hinata, Ino, Choji, and Lee.

I face palm. "What do you guys want?" I ask them.

"What? Sensei, how do you know them?" The blonde haired kid asks me.

"Three of those idiots are part of Team Kakashi while I join in on some missions because I really have no choice, someone has to save their skin if they get in trouble." I say and Sakura and Naruto scowl at me, I get up and walk over to the two with a threatening smile. "I suggest you state your business, banshee, loud mouth." I say to the two and they pale.

"MY YOUTHFUL RIVAL!" Lee yells to me.

I sweat drop. "I never agreed to that." I say to him.

"MY YOUTHFUL RIVALS YOUTHFUL STUDENT!" Guy yells.

"I've accepted that." Kakashi says in the tree.

I scowl up at him. "And people wonder how the lazy Sensei was able to teach the mocking student." I say and Kakashi gives me a closed eyed smile.

Kiba places and arm on my shoulder, I grab it and throw him into the tree. "I deserved that." Kiba wheezes.

I nod and look at everyone else as they try explaining why they are here. "Ok, a mission?" I ask and they nod. "I'll be at the gates in half an hour." I wave the group off and they sigh in relief and leave. I walk back in front of the group of Genin and I look at them, taking their faces in memory. "Ok, introductions take two." I say sitting on the ground.

"Why don't you go first Sensei?" Kuro asks me.

"Me? Well my name is Storm Nara, I have very few likes and I have a lot of dislikes, I don't really have any hobbies because I'm a workaholic, I basically date my ninja career, my dreams? I don't feel like telling you that. And yeah, that's all I feel like telling you." I say to them. I point to the brown haired kid. "You first."

"Ok, my name is Haru Strife because of my spring green eyes, my likes are, well who I like is." He looks at Kuro who scowls back at him and I smirk. "My dislikes are well who I dislike is." He looks at the blonde with a scowl and I look at him amused. "My hobbies are day dreaming about someone and my dream is to be the greatest Ninja in history." 

I nod. "That's a good dream, but what would you like to be remembered by? The greatest hero or the greatest villain? It all depends on the path you choose and what directs you to it." I say to him and he nods.

"I plan to be a hero." Haru says to me.

I nod and point to Kuro. "Your turn."

"My name is Kuro, my likes are not anyone's business, my dislikes are fan-boys, my hobbies are my own business, and my dreams? That's no ones business." Kuro says and I tear up.

"I've raised a mini me, I'm so proud." I say under my breath and no one hears me. I point to the last one. "Your turn." I say to him.

"My name is Cloud Lock for my storm cloud like eyes, my likes are." He looks at Kuro. "My dislikes are." He looks at Haru. "My hobbies are my own business and my dream for the future? I haven't thought about it." He says to us.

I face palm and sit back against the railing. "Two fan-boys, one student that will listen diligently equals, what has Tsunade done to me." I say as my eyes glow slightly while just imagining her laughing at me, I scowl at the Hokage building and I hear Kuro laugh.

"Sensei, I wouldn't, Tsunade-Baa-Chan is scary when she wants to be, she's the Hokage." Kuro says to me.

I look at her. "Yeah, yeah, I know." I say and look at the sky to see a storm coming. "Hmm, well, meet at the respective training grounds in a week. Don't get into trouble or Tsunade will have my head on a silver platter and she'll present it to the advisors who hate my guts." I say to them with a smile before I poof to the gates, five minutes early and I sit there.

"Mission?" Izumo asks.

"Yep." I reply already bored.

"Waiting for the others?" Kotesu asks me.

"Yep." I reply.

The other finally get here and see me. "How are you already here?" Ino and Sakura asks shocked.

I look at them confused. "Your five minutes late." I say to them and Yamato attempts to hit my head but I appear behind him and I punch him into the ground. "Nice try Yamato." I say to him with a smirk. "Why do I feel like I have to show my power to make sure no one attempts to hurt me?" I ask myself and Kakashi gives me a closed eyed smile.

"CAPTAIN YAMATO!" Naruto and Sakura yell.

I shake my head and stand up straight. "He's fine, just a little dizzy and probably has a migraine." I say and Yamato scowls at me. "Can we get going?" I ask.

"We have to wait for Shizune, our Team Captain." Kakashi says to me.

I nod and wait.

A few days later we finally get to the lake where the Three Tails resides and I face palm.

"Why are we stupid? The three tails is deadly." I ask Shizune.

"Yes it is, that's exactly why we have to seal it." Shizune says to me. "If I'm correct you have a barrier that can help right?" Shizune asks me.

I sigh. "My white shadow barrier? Yes I do, but that uses up to much chakra if I plan to hold it over a big lake like that." I say to her and she looks at me with a serious look in her eyes.

"Use it, we need all the protection we can get while doing this sealing Jutsu." Shizune says to me.

I mutter incoherent words as I walk down the beach, in plain sight I might add and I see something coming for me, I block it with my barrier and I see it to be a crystal, like Guren's. "I hate anything and everything." I say and stand upon the water while doing hand signs, a gas type thing hits me but its only supposed to affect my line of sight. "Yep, this is exactly what I want to deal with." I mutter and my eyes glow and the wind picks up around me, making the gas disappear with the wind, I calm down and finish my hand signs. "White Shadow Barrier." I say and put my hands on the water, I watch as the barrier forms in front of me, Ino, Sakura, Hinata and Shizune get inside it before it gets any higher and it forms over the lake.

So many downsides to this barrier that its stupid.

I focus on the barrier, keeping my chakra flowing into it.

"My youthful rival, please explain this Jutsu." Lee says next to me.

"Its called the 'White Shadow Barrier Jutsu', its an expanded version of my normal Shadow Barrier, though its meant to protect the people inside the barrier, there's no way to protect the castor which is me since I created this Jutsu, its a relatively stupid Jutsu unless I have someone to watch my back. I have to keep my chakra in the barrier otherwise it will fall and leave the people inside it, defenseless." I say to Lee who nods to me.

"Then I will watch your back until the sealing is done." Lee says to me with determination.

I sweat drop at this and nod in thanks. "Thanks Lee." I say and he ends up fighting a few people with help from others and I watch the sealing process as I put my chakra into the barrier, I focus on that and everything that happens in the anime, excluding the part where the one guy attempts to attack the four. I should mention that someone punched me and stopped my barrier.

Once I see the sealing process is almost done the kid angers the Three tails and it goes on a rampage, Shizune nods to me quickly and I let the barrier down and I breath heavily before I turn and kick some guy coming for me, into the air, I appear above him and I punch him into the ground.

I land in my spot and scowl down at the guy who shivers under my cold glare, he runs, not even looking back.

"She's scary." Naruto says with a sweat drop and everyone nods in agreement.

I calm down and see a kid next to Naruto who's out cold, I walk over and bend down to look at him. "I doubt anyone has enough chakra to look so I will." I mutter and Shizune bends down next to me as I focus my chakra.

"Carefully." Shizune says to me worried.

"I know what I'm doing, that blonde idiot with the moronic look has needed healing to many times to count on missions because he was dumb enough to charge in recklessly and don't get me started on Kiba, those two are total morons." I say and they both scowl at me. I calm my look and chakra, I focus it to my hands and I place them over the kid.

"Well?" Naruto asks.

I shush him. "I need concentration for this." I say to him and I look closely. "What did four eyes do? That's too many drugs for a kid, goddamn it, next time I see four eyes he's getting a pounding." I mutter as I focus more on the kid, completely shutting everything out. "Huh? Who even is this kid? That chakra." Is all they can understand through my talking.

"What is she talking about?" I hear Hinata ask worried.

I focus and use that one technique that my mind uses to take me to different time zones to look into his memories, shock takes place on my face when I see Guren in them and acting nice, no being genuinely nice to him. "The red camellia." I say to myself as I think. "Ahh shit, where have I heard the red camellia before?" I mutter.

"What are you talking about?" Shizune asks me.

"Healing technique, I'm thinking on how I'm going to dissolve those drugs inside him with out hurting any organs or body parts, that's the only way he's gonna live and I'm gonna need total concentration." I say and Shizune nods.

"Everyone follow me." Shizune says to the others.

"But what about Storm and the kid?" Kakashi asks her.

"Just follow me, she can handle herself. Besides no one is gonna attack now." Shizune says to him and everyone follows her into the forest.

I tie my hair up and out of my way and I place my hands over the kids stomach until a kunai is held to my neck.

"Don't touch him." A female voice says to me.

I open my eyes to see Guren. "Its alright, this kid needs my help, those drugs in him are gonna kill him if I don't do anything." I say to her and her eyes widen and release me. "Let me do my job or its gonna be too late." I say to her and she nods. I focus my chakra to my hands and they glow green as I place them over the kid. I focus and dissolve the drugs in him successfully, taking two or so hours in the process.

I sit back against the tree when I'm done. "That was the hardest surgery I have ever done and I even had to place tissue muscles back together on a patient before, geez." I say and breath heavily as I look at the kid and then at Guren. "He'll be fine, but I should keep an eye on him for a while to make sure." I say to her.

"Thank god." Guren says and sits down in relief.

"STORM!" Someone yells and I look over to see Kiba and Akamaru, I quickly make a barrier. "She's our enemy!" Kiba says to me.

"No she's not, she's this boys guardian." I say to him in a serious tone from my side of the barrier.

"It is true I was your enemy and I know you can't forgive me, but this boy means everything to me." Guren says to him.

That takes Kiba by shock and I let the barrier down, Akamaru walks over to me and licks my face, I laugh at this.

"Akamaru." I say and he barks and lays down next to me. I look at the boy to see his breathing is a bit to uneven, I look him over with my chakra before I find its just a cold and I heal it. "I really need to take a vacation, stress isn't good for the heart, it shortens the life span." I say with a smile and Guren sighs in relief that I was able to heal him.

"Thank you." Guren says to me.

"The red camellia, its a beautiful flower, but there's a story about how it came to be." I say finally remembering where I heard it. "It was a war, long, long ago, before the countries, before the Senju and Uchiha, it was a war during the Sage of Six paths time, the only camellia color back then was white, then during the war a lot of blood was shed and it turn the white camellia red. I heard this story from an old man that I came across on a mission, he was telling the story to kids, I don't remember most of it, but the children loved that story, he was an elder that had retired as a ninja from the Land of Water, he was travelling, he knew who I was right away and stood in front of the kids protectively. He was old and had done no wrong, I explained to him that I meant no harm and that I enjoyed the story and I went on my way, stubborn idiot, wouldn't listen to me, but he was a good elder, much nicer than the two old bags that call themselves advisors." I say with a smile as I look up at the sky to see the storm coming.

"Wow." Kiba says shocked at the story.

"Come on, lets go, there's a storm coming and it looks bad." I say standing up, a bit wobbly at first since I exhausted a lot of chakra, but I stand up and pick the kid up. "Come on Guren, your coming too." I say to her with a smile and that takes her by surprise.

"Why are you so nice to me?" Guren asks me.

"When I was looking at the kid and determining what healing method I should use, I used a technique that my mind uses while I'm asleep to send my spirit to a different time zone, I looked into his memories and I know there's kindness in you, you genuinely care for this kid." I say to her with a smile. Kiba looks like he's about to protest but I shoot him a glare, shutting him up quickly while Akamaru whimpers. "Don't worry Akamaru, I wasn't aiming the glare at you, just at Kiba." I say to him and the four of us walk back with the kid in my arms. I see Yamato get on guard when he see's Guren. "Yamato, she's safe, she's this kids guardian." I say to him.

"What?" Yamato asks shocked.

"Can we go inside, its about to storm." I say to him as my eyes reflect the clouds above.

"Oh right." Yamato says and we all go inside.
