a week later

"Again," I hear as I took a moment to catch my breath. I look up and see wolf riding one of her large wolfs looking at me. I had just finished climbing a large cliff in one of the training grounds. it would not have been difficult, but I was banned from using chakra and had one hand tied behind my back.

"Really I already did it five times," I sign to her with one hand. I had been training with Carmens forces for a week and I was starting to get a grasp of the sign language everyone uses.

"Yes, and you will keep doing it till I say otherwise," she told me with a glare.

letting out a sigh I use chakra to walk down to the bottom of the cliff. as I walked, I thought about how the last week. wolf woke me up with a bucket of water the morning after my initiation and proceeded to train me to the point I passed out that night the moment my head hit the ground. the next day was more of the same only with three others joining us. I recognize all of them from the initiation fight Canary, gorilla, and mouse. those three had been training with me since then. if I had to guess they plan on making the four of us a squad. looking over I see the others walking down as well.

"Must you antagonize her," asked mouse. she was a small thing reaching only 4"6'. of course, that small size helped her be a fast and agile. during the initiation she was troublesome to hit since she kept avoiding all my blows.

"It is just in my nature," I sign back to her.

"Yeah, and if you keep going, she is going to sick her wolves on us," said Canary. "I do not want to have my perfect ass bit off by a wolf." she was about the same size as me. her taijutsu was average but as I learned in training, she was very skilled in genjutsu.

"That could be fun," signaled Gorilla. she was a big woman standing over 6 feet tall. it did not take Naruko long to learn that she was a battle nut. right after training the first day, she asked for a spar. she had said that the initiation did not count since others had interfered.

after spending almost, a week with the girls Naruko could say she was starting to like them and if she ever figured out a way to escape, she would try to not hurt them. if anything, she would love for them to come back with her to the leaf. she had also found out all of their bedrooms was right next to each other.

by the time her thoughts reached there end they had reached the bottom of the cliff. "Do you guys want to make this interesting," I asked them.

"What do you have in mind," asked gorilla.

"How about a race," I asked. "First one to the top gets all the deserts."

"Deal," all three said at once. we then walked up to the cliff, and I counted down with my hand. as soon as I hit zero, we jumped onto the cliff and started to climb.
