Shiro looked at lee as he grinned, going to punch her. Shiro, not knowing what to do raised her arms up in defence only to feel a large pain in the stomach shake her, knocking the air from her lungs she stumbled backwards... A pained look on her face..
"Oh Shiro-chan I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it to be that hard!" Lee shouted, going to Shiro's side, the girl just smiled and stood up shakily.
"I-I'm alright lee-San... Again" she said confidently.. Kakashi watching her closely.. He then noticed two things: one she was very malnourished and weak. She had practically no muscles.. Like twigs. The second thing, she was confident. Determined a lot like Naruto was, the Uzumaki blondes determination had rubbed off on the young girl a lot. Lee then went for another punch hitting Shiro in the shoulder making her stumble backwards again, unable to keep up with his quick movements. Gai watching proudly,
"Keep going Shiro!" Tenten sneered smiling, Shiro smiled softly and yet again stood up shakily.. Getting into a defensive postion
"Again.. Lee-San" she said clearly. Focusing on him, lee then grinned
"Okay!" He shouted going in for a kick. Shiro watched his foot come at her at a rapid speed, she then ducked just before she was hit. Lee then threw a punch as she straightened the force making her yet again stumble backwards and finally fall on her butt.
"Well done Shiro-chan!" Lee cheered grinning as he helped her up.
"Alright! We'll practise throwing punches!" Guy shouted grinning leading the four genin to training posts. Lee grinned,
"Hai Gai-sensei!" He shouted smiling, Shiro smiled at the two and looked to the pole
"All you have to do is throw punches at the pole! We'll start with five in a row! Throw your hardest punches!" Gai instructed. Shiro nodded looki to the pole. If ninjutsu wasn't her thing maybe taijutsu was... Just maybe.. She then punched the pole, hearing a worrying crack from her knuckles. Shiro then began to whimper.. Ears lowering, kakashi quickly got up and kept an eye on her, watching her closely for any indications of severe pain coming from the girl. Lee frowned and went over to her.. Neji also did, so did tenten
"Are you alright? It sounded like it would hurt!" Lee exclaimed worriedly, Shiro looked up at them, tears brimming the corners of hers eyes, but she refused to cry...
"H-hai.. I-I'm alright lee-San, arigatou for caring, tenten-San... Hyuuga-San" Shiro whispered. Kakashi sighed, seeing she was fine. His heartbeat had sped up as soon as he saw her pained expression, his eyes staring at the white haired girl.. Although practically useless she was adorable and kind.. Respectful and smart.. He liked it that she was actually serious in battle and on missions. But that innocent face melted the hearts of every male that encountered her, some showing it more then others. Shiro then stepped back and got ready to punch the pole again, this time landing one heavy lunch, the cracking of her knuckles were heard again but she didn't stop there instead she punched the wood against with her other hand hearing cringeworthy cracking from her knuckles was enough for her teacher who appeared before her and caught her fist
"That's enough Shiro. Before you injure yourself" kakashi stated sighing, Shiro looked up at him with a sad look.. But didn't complain
"Hai hatake-Sensei" she whispered softly, lee grinning
"Good job Shiro-chan!" Lee shouted patting her head. Shiro smiled at lee and nodded
"Arigatou, lee-San" Shiro whispered smiling, kakashi then sighed
"I think that's enough for today. We'll practise your ninjutsu okay?" Kakashi instructed sighing, Shiro nodded and smiled
"Hai" she exclaimed, kakashi sighed, looking to Gai
"Thanks Gai"
"No problem my eternal rival!!" Gai shouted, throwing his arms over kakashi's shoulders. Kakashi sighed and nodded
"Alright, come on Shiro" Kakashi muttered getting out of gai's hold and walking forward, Shiro smiled and waved to team 9
"Coming hatake-Sensei!" Shiro exclaimed running after her Sensei to continue ninjutsu training.
