With the fight between Tan and Sasuke they both went back to Tazuna's house. They both entered and were greeted by Sakura, Sasuke ignored her and went straight to his room while understood that something was wrong.

"So Sakura what is it?" Tan asked.

"I expected that you will notice" Sakura said with a normal tone.

"I want you to train me earth style jutsu" Sakura said with a fire of determination in her eyes.

"You are an earth style user" Tan asked with his eyes ready to pop out as he never knew the chakra nature of Sakura and it was also not shown in the anime.

"Well I have two earth and water" Sakura said and hearing this Tan's heart almost stopped his mind was nearly destroyed.

(And I thought she was useless) Tan thought after some time.

"Ok then let's go out" Tan said and left with Sakura following him.

------------------------------------

"So are you ready Shikamaru?" Naruto asked.

"Whenever you are" Shikamaru replied.

"Ok then..begin" Naruto said as he made two clones and send them to attack him.

"Tsk..does he think me this low" Shikamaru said to himself as he pulled out two kunai and threw them towards incoming clones but they both deflected it by kunai of their own.

"He took the bait" Shikamaru said to himself and he kneeled and made a rat sign and his shadow got darker and extended towards Naruto and split in two and went for each clone.

"Do you think we would fall for that" both clones said together as they jumped in the air.

"GOTTCHA" Shikamaru said as him shadow suddenly picked up the kunai from the ground and pierced the clones.

"Nice" original Naruto said.

"But it's over" Naruto said as he suddenly appeared behind Shikamaru without him knowing and placed a kunai on his neck.

"When did you.." Shikamaru said at first and then smiled.

"You know Naruto you are strong but still not intelligent enough" Shikamaru said as he stood up "Shadow possession jutsu success" he added.

"So I win" Shikamaru said.

"Not so early" Naruto said and *puff* he turned out to be a clone.

"Shit" as soon as Shikamaru said this Naruto came out of smoke and placed a hand on Shikamaru's belly and said "SEAL".

And Shikamaru started shaking as he tried to move his body "What is this" Shikamaru said with great difficulty.

"It's an A-rank seal used to seal movements. You know Tan taught me this seal" Naruto said as he got near Shikamaru placed a hand on his belly and said "Release".

Shikamaru fell on the ground "Tan knows this high ranked jutsu(s)" Shikamaru said to himself.

Naruto picked him up and both went in the house and when they came in Tan and Sakura came out.

"Hey where are you going" Naruto asked them.

"To train" Tan said in a straight voice.

"I am also coming then" Naruto said as he ran inside the house with Shikamaru placed on his shoulder and he threw him on the floor in his room and came outside in an instant.

"What will we train" Naruto said as he gasped for breath.

"Earth style" Sakura said.

"EH?? But I don't possess earth style" Naruto complained.

"I know so while we train earth style you will train a new wind style jutsu" Tan said.

"New wind style??" Naruto asked with starts in his eyes.

"Yes and now come quickly" Tan replied and they started moving in the forest.

------------------------------------------

"Do you think they would also call for some backup" Kakashi asked Asuma who finished his cigarette and threw it and took out another lit it and started smoking.

"I sensed the presence of another person with him but at the time of our fight the person was hidden" Asuma said.

"This could be troublesome" Kakashi said.

"Yes it will be" Asuma said as he sucked almost half of his cigarette at once.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Ok Sakura we will start with the earth style: earth barrier jutsu" Tan said and Sakura nodded.

"Ok then watch this" Tan said as he slowly started to make hand signs and then shouted "Earth style: earth barrier" and slammed his hands on the ground and a huge wall of earth rose up from the ground.

"Wow" Sakura exclaimed.

Then Tan told her the area to focus the chakra and then turned towards Naruto who had made a ram hand sign and was standing straight and Tan could feel a strange and power chakra coming out of his.

(He is taking the nine tails chakra!!!!!) Tan exclaimed in his mind.

Naruto opened his eyes (Looks like he recognized) Naruto thought in his mind as he watched Tan standing in daze.

"Hey so you noticed" Naruto said.

"You.. are using the chakra of the nine tails???" Tan asked.

"Yes, since it is in my body so it has to pay the rent" Naruto said with a grin.

Tan smiled "Ok then now I am going to teach you a jutsu called violent whirlwind" Tan said.

"And what kind of jutsu is that??" Naruto asked.

"Well it is a jutsu in which you will inhale a lot of air and exhale it with chakra which would make a whirlwind too strong that it could even uproot trees" Tan said and hearing this Naruto had starts in his eyes.

"Tell me tell me everything about this jutsu" Naruto said in a hasty tone.

Then Tan explained him everything about this jutsu and Naruto started to practice it.

"Tannnnnn!!!!!!!" Sakura shouted Tan heard this and quickly went to see Sakura.

"What the heck happened Sakura" Tan asked in a hasty and worried tone.

"Oh nothing it's just that I wanted to show you this jutsu" Sakura said with a smile.

(This is the first time I am itching to kill someone) Tan thought in his mind as he clinched his fist trying not to hit her.

"Ok the show me" Tan said as he calmed himself down.

"Ok then" Sakura said and made some signs and the said "Earth style: earth barrier" and slammed her hand on the ground and a wall of almost the size of Tan's made wall rose up from the ground.

"Wow this much progress in this little time you are amazing Sakura" Tan said and watched the wall without even blinking his eyes.

"Thank you" Sakura said~
