After the encounter with Zabuza, the bridge builder took team 7 to his house.  Once you were there you were fed. Then Kakashi told Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura that they were going to train and at the end, he ended up explaining that Zabuza was still alive.  He took them to a place full of trees. Once there, he began to explain what they were going to learn and how. 

"What are we going to do?" asked Naruto. 

Kakashi pointed his finger up, "climb a tree." Was all he said. 

"Climb a tree!" the three of them exclaimed. 

You stood next to Naruto, and just listened.  It was amusing that even the Uchiha was complaining about what Kakashi was going to teach them. 

"That's right, but there's one rule" and he held his hand with his palms facing up. " No hands."  He finished. 

"What? You're kidding." Sakura said, like if Kakashi was playing some kind of joke. 

Kakashi directed his eyes towards you and nodded. You nodded back and made just one hand sign and headed to a tree. One of your foot stepped on the trunk of the tree and they gasped. You kept walking as if you were walking on the ground. 

"She's climbing." Naruto exclaimed. 

"And straight up and she is only using her feet. " Sakura added. 

"Well, now you get the idea." Kakashi said once he saw you hanging upside down. " Focus your chackra towards the sole of your feet and use it to connect it to the tree. 

Sakura didn't looked so thrilled for she complained. " How does this help us fight Zabuza." 

"It's the only way to fight him, Sakura. That's the entire goal of this training." Kakashi continued explaining.  

You watched from where you were hanging and shook your head. All they did was ask and ask. Why couldn't they just listen to their teacher? As a child   you wanted, yearned to learn as much as you could without asking questions.  You trained and trained, never complained even if what was thought to you seemed useless. 

Kakashi then threw three kunai knives and they landed in front of the trio. "Use these kunai knives to mark the tree at the highest point that you climb. Do not use your hands. And then try passing that point and the next. Ready?" asked Kakshi. 

The trio grabbed the kinai. You jumped from where you were and stood there watching. They were currently gathering and concentrating their chackra.  And then once it was done, they run toward a tree.  Naruto didn't go so far, Sasuke went a bit further  and as for Sakura, she seemed to have better chackra control. 

At the end, you and Sakura returned to the bridge builder's house. You thought of stying and help Naruto and Sasuke at whatever they needed but you had problems, Naruto wouldn't get it and Sasuke, he just narrowed his eyes and glared. 

"So...how come you are a Jounin?" asked Sakura on your way to the bridge builder.

You turned to the side and looked at her." Why do you ask?" She didn't seem to like you at all, so why start being friendly and wanting to know about you?

She looked down. " I just wanted to know. I-well you're really young." She explained with a hint of nervousness. 

"Well, the answer to your question, I just did. I know I seem to be too young to be at the level I am, but it took me  a lot of training to get here."You explained looking up ahead.

"Oh, Ok." She took a second to think. "But where do you come from? From what I know you're not from the Leaf?" 

You stopped, and stayed there not moving. It had been years since you last talked about your past, it just remimded you of...your parent's death. 

Sakura stopped and stood in front of you, looking at you with a worried face. "[Name]?" but that didn't stop you from the shock, and the images that came ruching in your head. "A-are you Ok?" she asked again placing her hand on your shoulder. 

After a few moments you looked down at her."Sorry, I just..." you sighed. "It's just that it has been years since I talked about that." 

"I'm sorry, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want too." She removed her hand. 

"It's fine, I come from the Village Hidden in the Mountains." 

"I never heard of it." Now staring to walk, she frurrowed her eyebroes. 

"I know, most people don't know about it, which in a way is helpful. Like I was saying, I was born there but because of some problems...I had to leave everthing back..." you looked up ahead. 

"So, that's why you came to the Leaf?But what were those probles?" she asked. 

You nodded." Yes, problems concerning me. My parent had no option but to bring me here but...they died on the way." 

She gasped. "I am sorry!" 

You shook your head. "It's alright, it kind of feels good to talk about it." 

She smiled and waited for you to continue."They died, gave their lives so I could be safe." but you gave no more. 

"But how did they die?" she asked curious. 

"They were killed." And she asked no more.
