A Few Hours Later

Storm's POV

"He's awake." The women I now know as Tsunami says to us.

"Thank you miss Tsunami, my Sensei can be a bit careless." I say to her and she laughs slightly.

"Its alright, I should be thanking you guys for bringing my father home safe." Tsunami says to me.

"It was no problem miss Tsunami." I say to her and I walk in with the others and Tazuna.

"Zabuza is alive." Kakashi says to us.

"No duh, senbon can't kill if they're thrown at the neck or any other part of the body unless its a vital." I say to him.

Tazuna pales.

"My guess is about 10 days, does that sound right?" Kakashi asks.

"Yeah, until then, I'm gonna train." I say to him.

"I'll train these three since what I'm gonna do is what I've already put you through." Kakashi says to me.

I nod.

The Next Day.

I wait outside and Kakashi comes out on crutches and my teammates follow him.

"I'm gonna watch." I say to Kakashi and he nods.

We walk to a clearing and Kakashi explains.

"Storm, why don't you show them?" Kakashi asks.

I roll my eyes and center my chakra and I grab a kunai, I put a steady flow of chakra at my feet. I open my eyes and I look at the tree in front of me. I run up it and unfortunately since these aren't the same tree's as Konoha I almost made it to the top before the weak bark cracked, I cut and I flip back and I fall to the ground and I land on my feet in a crouch position.

"Stupid weak bark." I mutter and scowl at it.

"Do you have to scowl at everything?" Sakura asks me.

I look at her. "Yes, yes I do." I say to her.

"Want to try again?" Kakashi asks me.

"I might as well." I look at the tree. "I won't let the tree win." 

Sakura and Sasuke sweat drop.

"YEAH, DON'T LET THE TREE WIN STORM." Naruto yells.

Kakashi nods.

I look at my teammates. "Well? Are you just gonna stand around? Get to work." I say to them.

"Oh right." They say and walk to their own tree's.

I do my process again and I run up the tree with a determined look, I make it past all the branches and I get hit the face with leaves. 

"What the hell." I mutter and I make to the top and I sit down. "I made it!" I yell down.

"Alright Storm, you get back to your own training." Kakashi says to me as I land next to him on the ground.

"Ok." I walk to a separate part of the clearing and I pull out a few kunai after I make a few shadow clones, we spar against each other for a while.

"THIS IS EASY." Sakura yells from a high up branch.

I look at her. "Yeah, nice job banshee." I say to her.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?" Sakura yells.

I shrug and get back to sparring against my clones.

Once it hits nightfall everyone but Kakashi is exhausted, me included.

Naruto goes up to Sakura to ask for some advice and Sasuke tries listening in.

I watch them from my laying down positon on the branch of one of the tree's I was using as a dummy.

I look at Kakashi to see him reading his perverted book. I just relax on my branch as I let my arms dangle and my chin rest on the branch.

"Are you gonna be up there the entire time we train?" Sasuke asks.

"I might as well, I've exhausted my chakra." I say to him.

A few nights later

I sit at the table and I wait for the others to get here.

"So Storm, what do you specialize in?" Tsunami asks me as she gets the food ready.

"Nin-Jutsu and Tai-Jutsu, I'm horrible at Gen-Jutsu." I say to her.

"Why is that?" Tsunami asks me.

"Because I suck at concentrating on something horrifying or something like that, I also just don't care." I say to her.

"Shouldn't you care about your training?" Tsunami asks me.

"I do care about it, I just can't do Gen-Jutsu, I'm the elusive type, kind of like a shadow." I say to her as I stare at the ceiling.

"What if you tried hard enough to do Gen-Jutsu?" Tsunami asks me.

"I've tried, my concentration got broke by a loud mouth."

We talk for a bit and the others come in. 

All of us eat and by all of us I mean everyone in the house, that includes Inari, Tazuna, Tsunami, Me, Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto.

Once we finish we are all full.

I notice a picture but I choose to ignore it, since its ripped and might have a deeper meaning.

Sakura walks up to it. "Why's this picture torn?"

I face palm. "Sakura, that might be a sensitive topic and you didn't even think." I say to her.

"Well no one asked for your opinion." Sakura says to me.

I sigh and stand up. "Excuse her for her thinking with out speaking attitude. Now I'm gonna go train." I walk to the door.

"Don't apologize for me." Sakura growls.

"Watch your temper." I say to her and I walk out into the night air.

I pull my jacket up a bit as I walk towards the edge of the forest.

I think for a second.

I walk up to a tree and I practice my Tai Jutsu.

A few more nights later

I sit at the table full and I look at the ceiling.

"Why?" Inari asks starting to cry.

I look at him. "Huh?"

"What'd you say?" Naruto asks.

"All this stupid training is just a waste of time. Gato has an army and he will kill you. All these cool things you all say, it means nothing, the strong always win and the weak always lose." Inari says wiping tears away and sniff but tears keep going down his face.

My eyes set on his shaking form.

"Well it won't be like that for me got that?" Naruto says to Inari.

"Just shut up, looking at you makes me sick. You don't know anything about this country, your just butting in, always laughing and playing around, you don't know what its like to be treated like dirt." Inari yells at him.

Pain flashes through my eyes and I stand up abruptly. "Annoying." I mutter.

Inari glares at me. "Your the annoying one, always being sarcastic and mean." Inari says to me.

"I'm like that because I grew up alone, damn it. I have no parents, I don't even know what they look like or who they we're, you have family, see? You have a Grandpa and a Mom who love you and want to see you smile. Your the annoying one here because you can't open your eyes and look around you. Your just, your just, your just a coward." I say to him.

"Storm, that's enough, your the one being annoying with your outbursts." Sakura says to me.

I scowl at her and she looks at me shocked. "Just shut up." I walk out of the house and I run towards the forest.

I stop at a tree and I get really mad. "Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot." I say while kicking at the tree.

"I'm not annoying, I'm sarcastic and a smartass, I'm not annoying, damn kid getting in my head." I mutter.

Kakashi's POV

I see pain flash through Storm's eye and she stands up abruptly. "Annoying." She mutters.

Inari glares at her. "Your the annoying one, always being sarcastic and mean." Inari says to her.

I see Naruto tense as if waiting for impact.

"I'm like that because I grew up alone, damn it. I have no parents, I don't even know what they look like or who they we're, you have a family, see? You have a Grandpa and a Mom who love you and want to see you smile. Your the annoying one here because you can't open your eyes and look around you. Your just, your just, your just a coward." Storm says to him.

"Storm, that's enough, your the one being annoying with your outbursts." Sakura says to her.

Storm scowls at her and that shocks everyone. "Just shut up." She walks out of the house.

I look at Naruto.

"Storm is right. You can whimper all day for all I care, your nothing but a coward." Naruto says to Inari.

"First Storm having an out burst and now you two Naruto. Your both mean and harsh." Sakura says to him.

Naruto just grumbles and walks out of the house as well.

Inari stands there sniffling and crying. 

After a minute he leaves and I follow him.

"Can I sit next to you?" I ask Inari.

Inari just sniffs in return.

I sit down next to him. "Sora and Naruto can be harsh sometimes, but they don't hate you." I pause thinking for the right words. "Your grandfather told us what happened to your father. You probably don't know this but Naruto is scorned by the village, the only people who don't scorn him are the other rookies and Storm. I've never seen Naruto cry, sulk or give up. He's always eager to join in on something no matter what it is. Now Storm is a bit different, she doesn't know anything about her family, that includes her last name. She trains a lot so she can get strong and see if she can find answers about herself, none of us know her dream, but she has one. She has a sarcastic side to hide her feelings and a smartass side for the same reason. She doesn't give up. Sure she doesn't care but that's because she hides her kindness. She's a Tsundere person basically. I have never once seen her give up on something important and I haven't seen her cry. She doesn't like other peoples help because she knows she can do it herself. She doesn't have a lot of confidence but she hides that with sarcasm most of the time. Earlier when she was talking to you, she was showing what was behind her walls. Don't take her anger to seriously, she's probably said that a million times to herself." I say to him.

Inari looks at me shocked then back at the water with a thoughtful look.

Storm's POV

I growl and I see the tree tilt down and I scowl and sit down against it. "Ngah whatever." I mutter and I lean against the tree.

I see Naruto run past and to a clearing where they were training before.

I'll go back and apologize later. I'm still fuming.

I get up and kick the tree down some more and it crashes into the tree next to it leaving it slanted and I sit at the top against the other tree. 

"So now that you've nearly destroyed a tree, are you still angry?" Kakashi asks above me.

I roll my eyes. "No." I mutter and I stare ahead of me, blankly.

"But?" Kakashi starts for me.

"But, that kid got into my head. Now I feel guilty for saying what I said. I'm too nice sometimes." I lean my head back on the tree.

"No, you said what you were thinking. You were just saying what was behind your walls." Kakashi says to me.

I crack a smile. "What have you people done to me." 

Kakashi gives me a closed eyed smile. "Change you."

I keep myself from laughing by biting my lip. "I suppose."

2 or so days later.

I walk to the bridge bored along with Tazuna, Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura.

I see bodies and I run over to the closest worker and I look at him. "He's alive. They're all alive, just unconscious." I say to them and Tazuna breathes a sigh of relief.

A thick mist comes and I jump back next to Kakashi.

"Crap." I mutter and Kakashi nods in agreement. I grab two kunai from both of my pouches and I hold them in front of me, defensively.

We get in a Manji formation and water clones of Zabuza appear in front of us.

"Kakashi, I see your still with those brats. Look at that one, he's still trembling, how pitiful." Zabuza mocks.

"Hey, I'm the one who mocks my teammates, not you." I say to Zabuza.

"I'm trembling with excitement." Sasuke says with a smirk.

"Go ahead Sasuke." Kakashi says to him.

Almost instantly the clones are water and Sasuke is next to me again.

"Haku, you might have a rival." Zabuza says as the masked boy from the other day walks up beside him.

"Seems so." Haku says in a monotone voice.

"Hey you, are you a girl or a boy?" I ask and Zabuza nearly chokes.

"I'm a boy." Haku says to me.

"Good to know." I say to him and in a second I kick both nin where the sun don't shine and I'm standing back next to Kakashi.

They double over in pain.

"For once, I'm not mad at your for doing that." Sakura says to me.

"Its their fault, they left themselves open for attack." I say to her with a shrug.

Sasuke, Kakashi and Tazuna pale, seeing what I did to the two nin.

"You little brat." Zabuza says through clenched teeth, clearly in pain.

"My name is Storm, not brat." I say to him.

"No wonder she's called Storm, she is one." Tazuna mutters and Kakashi nods.

"I heard you." I say to him.
