Minato-sensei wasn't joking about how he had planned our training for the next several weeks to months. We spent the morning take two D-rank missions before heading back to our training ground to go through a recently built obstacle course that would improve and heighten our senses, smell and hearing being the main focus.

But there was also time set aside for one vs. one to one vs. two for the next hour leaving cool downs as the last thing we did each day before splitting up with either Minato-sensei himself or his shadow clone for one on one training.

It was actually working well in helping us improve at a fast rate.

"I think it is time for you to try your hand at Summoning," stated Minato-sensei four months after we had become Genin. "You have improved a lot in your chakra control and even further enlarged them."

Which wasn't a lie considering I could feel the difference. There was also the fact that even Alpha had talked about me being ready to learn the harder Inuzuka jutsu with my canine partners now.

That alone had made my day.

"Really?" I asked with delight making Minato-sensei chuckle but nod his consent as he went over the hand signs used.

I couldn't lie and say I wasn't nervous about seeing just what Summons I would end up summoning. What Summoning World I would be pulled into. But this was one thing I have wanted since Naruto signed the Toad Summoning Contract.

The day had finally arrived that I would get that chance.

"Be safe," added Minato-sensei as he took a step back as Kakashi and Shisui moved to stand on either side of him, "and keep aware of the time."

"I promise," I offered in return before taking one last calming breath before going through the hand signs and biting into my thumb to draw blood before slamming my hand down onto the ground in front of me. "Summoning Jutsu!"

Then everything turned white.

growled out a deep timbered voice causing my head to snap up and eyes to widen at the sight before me.

"Tigers," I whispered in awe as I took in the pure white tiger as it sat proudly before me, easily dwarfing my height even. "I hadn't thought about tigers."

Mainly because it had been known that once upon a time the Panthers and Tigers had chosen to side with the Hyuga Clan. But now here I stood before them after a century, considering the last either Panthers or Tigers were seen was a bit at the start of the Warring Era.

Which meant that the Hyuga Clan had lost their right to wield them.

stated Sora amber eyes overlooking me as he leaned down further to look me directly in the eyes.

This was either going to go very well, or very badly.

I hoped that it would end up going well.

When I reappeared in front of my team I could tell just how nervous they had gotten with how their shoulders relaxed. Minato-sensei looked proud as he looked between myself and the large Summoning Scroll resting at my side.

No comment was made on my destroyed clothes and bloody and bruised appearance as I shot them a beaming smile. I had even left behind my canine partners for this.

Which is a good thing considering the test the tigers had demanded I pass.

"I did it," I said proudly before swaying and collapsing onto the ground with a light laugh as Ōkami and Tenshi running back to my sides, having stayed behind with the team. "I cannot believe it."

"Where did you end up going to?" asked Shisui all but jumping in place causing another laugh to escape me even as I quickly went through the summoning hand sings once more.

stated Sora as he looked around him before turning back toward me with a soft rumbling purr.

"Holy crap," muttered Shisui eyes sparkling as he took in the sight of the huge tiger that was only a bit smaller than the Toad Boss. "He's huge."

"Very well done Asahi," praised Minato-sensei making my smile widen even as I stood back up with Kakashi's help to walk toward Sora who was looking toward us with amusement. "I will make sure this is added to your file."

cut in Sora leaning down so I could run my hand over his forehead before he reverse summoned himself back to the Tiger Domain.

"This means we have Kakashi's Summons for tracking, mine for keeping a higher vantage point, and yours for attacking," cheered Shisui hands clapping together before moving forward to throw his arms around our shoulders. "We're going to be such a badass team!"

Nothing else was said that day as we continued with our usual training even as Minato-sensei upped the level of difficulty along with adding fuinjutsu weights to our wrists and ankles making it harder to move.

He really was a task maker.

"Asahi," called out Rin later that evening after we had been dismissed while we slowly trekked back toward Kakashi's house. "There you are."

Beside Rin was Obito, Shikaku, Inoichi, and Choza making me realize that my sister currently had no female friends.

It was only slightly worrying.

"Hey guys," I called back with a tired wave as I leaned a bit further into Kakashi's side as Shisui skipped ahead to tease Obito. "What have you been up to?"

"The Academy is so boring without you there," complained Inoichi with a pout causing me to let out a sheepish laugh while Kakashi glared. "We should really make time to meet up more often now that you're a Genin."

"Troublesome," sighed Shikaku with a shake of his head as he put his hands into his pockets before looking toward me. "I can't say it wouldn't be nice to see you a bit more."

"His harem continues to grow," whispered Shisui making my head snap toward him as my eyes widen. "Whoever should be added next I wonder."

"What did you say?" I asked hoping I heard wrong as he laughed before sending me an innocent smile.

"Nothing," answered Shisui making me give him a narrowed-eyed look even as Kakashi reached out to smack the back of his head. "Hey! That hurt Kashi!"

"That isn't my name," snarled Kakashi face burning red as he began to chase after the other much to the rest of our amusement.
