"How to fly?" Sasuke asked skeptically.

"Why not? You have wings," Kakashi pointed out.

"I know that," Sasuke snapped irritably. "I just don't understand how we're going to teach me how to fly. Last I checked, none of us are birds."

"Or have bird summons," Sakura added. When Sasuke turned a glare on her, she wilted, trying to run up her tree again.

"We'll be going over your taijutsu as well, Sasuke, Sakura, as your styles will require adjustment to accommodate your new limbs. While I doubt your tail could be used in combat, Sakura, it will still need to be adjusted for."

"Why can't it be used in combat?" Sakura asked, confused.

"Too thin, I would guess that like most cat tails, it's used for stability more than anything else. Naruto's tails are thicker and fluffier, making them far better used in combat. Comparing your tail, and Naruto's tail is like comparing dragonfly wings to bird wings. One is better used in combat, the other is not."

Finally, Sakura managed to walk all the way up the tree, and all the way back down. "There! Done."

Kakashi nodded absently, attempting a shadow clone. He staggered slightly as only one appeared. "Darn it, too little chakra for any more than one. Oh well, I guess you and Naruto will have to settle with taking turns, Sakura. Sasuke, the clone will be staying here with you, and hopefully getting that tree walking exercise down."

"And after that?" Sakura asked. "You were completely wiped out from the battle with that missing-nin, you passed out on us! How could I possibly be training with this thing for an extended period of time?" She gestured to her eye, fuming.

"I will be working you lot into the ground," Kakashi stated cheerily. "After you have collapsed, we'll be working on the sensory capabilities that probably came with these ears. Sasuke, you'll be meditating. Later, we'll check if any of you have latent sensory abilities."

Sasuke sighed. He went back to attempting to walk up his tree, getting halfway up before losing his hold on Naruto's slippery chakra and blasting off.

"Tell me when you get up that tree," clone Kakashi said, sitting down and pulling out the stupid orange book. Sasuke sighed as he watched his teammates and his teacher walk away to do whatever they were going to be doing. Why was Naruto's chakra so darn hard to control? He already knew how to do this exercise, he just couldn't force the chakra to do what he wanted it to do. It wouldn't obey him! He was an Uchiha darn it, he should've gotten this exercise before the dobe. Although, as far as he knew, Sakura had Kakashi's, he had Naruto's, and Naruto probably had Sakura's. Which meant, of course, he got the exercise down quickly, he had less chakra to wrangle. This was giving him a new sense of appreciation for the dobe, who'd kept up with him despite the fact that his chakra is not inclined to listen to anyone. It also explained why he couldn't do a normal clone but could spam shadow clones.

Oddly enough, he found himself at the top of the tree. Huh, that must be the trick. Stop fighting with the chakra and let it do what it needs to. He already knew how to shape the chakra, he was just fighting to make that happen a little too hard.

"So, Kakashi-sensei, how are you planning on teaching me how to fly?" Sasuke asked harshly, shouting down at the clone.

"Jump. You open your wings and glide down. Walk up the tree, then try again. If you really want, we can try and find a cliff for you to jump off instead."

"Hn," Sasuke grunted. He meant: "No thank you. Trees are quite high enough." Unfortunately, Kakashi did not speak Uchiha, and therefore, it went over his head.

Sasuke walked out onto a limb and spread his wings. It was weird thinking of them as his, after all, he had just gotten them yesterday.

"Come on, you don't have all day," Kakashi clone called.

Sasuke glared at the clone, then jumped off the branch. His wings caught the air, then he fell, wings and arms flailing.

He landed hard on his arm, breaking it severely. He got to his feet, cradling his arm, a bump forming where the bone was close to breaking his skin.

"Alright, up the tree again," the Kakashi clone said, uncaring.

Sasuke nearly growled at the clone. He stomped away to his pack, where he had packed bandages. He'd need to splint his own arm, which would be difficult, but not impossible. He was greeted by Sakura, who screamed at the state of his arm, hanging limp at his side. This, of course, quickly drew Naruto, who was breathing heavily and covered in scratches.

The real Kakashi followed, then raised an unimpressed eyebrow at his arm. "How'd you manage that one?"

"I landed on it," Sasuke growled, aggressively searching his pack with one hand for those stupid bandages.

Sakura immediately started freaking out, screeching something about how Sasuke was going to die, and Naruto and Kakashi flinched away, their ears flattening against their heads. He almost felt sorry. Then he remembered Naruto teasing him for not getting the tree-climbing exercise, and Kakashi-clone's uncaringness about his clearly severely broken arm, and he was unsympathetic again. Then he wondered how Sakura wasn't breaking her own eardrums with the screeching. She was almost breaking his, and with the looks on Kakashi and Naruto's faces, they had enhanced hearing due to their ears being relocated.

Kakashi finally managed to clap a hand over Sakura's mouth. "No screaming," he growled, a proper wolf's growl coming through his voice. She nodded mutely, and he released her.

Naruto flicked an ear, batting at it. "Ow, Sakura-chan," he whines. "That hurt!"

"Hn," Sasuke grunts, going back to searching his bag. He meant, "of course it did, Dobe." But it, again, flew over their heads. They were not Uchiha, it was to be expected. The Uchiha had evolved their own language. Each Uchiha had their own variant. Itachi was prone to 'looks' and Shisui had managed to have an entire dialect around smiles. He did not currently have his own and kept to the standard Uchiha one, the grunts. Or 'hn'ing as it was more commonly known.

"Do you need some help, Sasuke?" Kakashi asked, sounding bored out of his mind.

"Don't need your help," Sasuke grunted. Of course, it came out: "hn."

"We're giving you our help anyway," Naruto said, rummaging in his own bag and pulling out bandages.

Sasuke blinked at Naruto in disbelief. He did not just translate Uchiha. Sasuke refused to believe it. No one who was not Uchiha could understand Uchiha.

(A/N) Aww, poor Sasuke. Someone understands your clan's unique method of information transferring.
