Kurai's First Day of Training

"I-Itachi-Sama,"
She bowed.
"You know Tobi's true alias?"

"Yes, but you must promise not to tell the other members and you must also not reveal to Tobi in anyway whatsoever that you know. He has been trying to keep it a secret from the rest of the members for a long time" he said. "Alright Itachi, I promise" Kisame said with a nod of his head.

"I promise i wont say a word, Itachi-Sama..."
She swore, nodding also.

"Good. Tobi is really Madara Uchiha. He was also the one who caused the Kyuubi attack on Konoha" he told them. Kisame's jaw practically unhinged itself and hit the ground, his eyes practically popping out of his head.

Her eyes widened somewhat.
"The Madara Uchiha? Holy shit, THAT i was not expecting.."

"He was also the man who created the Akatsuki. He, himself, wanted to capture all the bijuu though it was Lord Leader's ambition to conquer the world so they combined their goals. Lord Pein is the cover leader while Madara is the true leader and the founder" Itachi explained. "I wasn't expecting that. Madara Uchiha was the Mizukage at one time" Kisame said. "Madara uses a technique to absorb life force from other people into his own body to keep his youth" explained Itachi.

"Wow...I thought there was more to Tobi than what meets the eye but i had no idea that he was hiding something so severe.." She murmured.

"So remember, don't tell the other members and don't let Madara-Sempai know that you know. Keep it to yourselves and don't show any slight indication that know" said Itachi. "No worries Itachi, I'll be tight-lipped about this" he said.

"I wont say a word about it. It'll be like i never knew," She promised, bowing her head.

"Good" said Itachi as he disappeared in a swirl of leaves. "Alright, now, back to training" he said.

"Right, we sorta got side-tracked, didnt we?" She nodded, setting her sights on the waterfall.

"Yeah. Now, in order to do the Waterfall Running exercise, you have to combine the teachings of the first two exercises, meaning you must combine Tree Climbing with Water Walking" he said.

She looked at the waterfall.
"Alright, i think i can give it a shot,"

"Alright then go for it" he told her.

She ran across the waterfall and bit her lip as she reached the waterfall. She got one foot up and started running upwards. She only got a small distance up before she backflipped off and landed on the water at the bottom again.

"Good so far but try and make it all the way to the top" he said to her.

She nodded and tried again, getting further but still not quite there.
"Ngh...One more time,"

"Good so far Kurai. Keep it up" instructed Kisame.

She ran up again, pushing her chakra control as far as it could go, getting up further and finally the top. She barely got there, scrambling up the side and panting.

Kisame appeared next to her in a swirl of water. "Good job Kurai" he said with a smile.

"H-Heh..you werent kidding when you said it wasnt easy.."
She shook her head.

"Told ya kid" he said with a grin as he ruffled her hair affectionately.

She chuckled, playfully batting his hand away.
"Yeah, yeah..Just cuz waters your main element,"

"Heh heh heh" he chuckled with a smile on his face.

"So..Do i have the potential to be the next Demon of the Hidden Mist?"
