Drip. Drip. It began to rain. Oh well. It didn't matter. Not to him, at least.

"ARGH! I gotta keep training if I ever want to beat him!" He continued. Punching furiously at the log, his knuckles began to bleed. Using his hands, he formed a hand sign that resembled a T.

"Kage Bunshin No Justu!" A puff of smoke emerged. As the smoke cleared away, it revealed a clone. The clone then quickly used both of his hands and made circular motions over the original's right hand. Slowly, a sphere glowing with chakra appeared on his hand. He grasped it, and started running. The clone disappeared within a puff of smoke, and he screamed loud enough for the whole forest to hear,

"RASENGAN!" The log blasted into tiny splinters. He panted heavily, smiling.

A girl watches in awe behind a tree from afar.

"Naruto," she whispered. "You're improving." She turned around to leave. He was almost done anyway, and she didn't want to get caught watching him.

Crack

She spun around and ran towards the direction of the sound.

"Naruto! I'm coming!" She found him grasping onto his leg, blood spread everywhere. He smiled weakly.

"hey, Hinata." Hinata slowly grew faint at the sigtht of the blood."

"Naruto, I'm going to get help, ok? Just stay where you are."

"Sure Hinata-chan. Thanks." Quickly, she ran towards the hopsital, as fast as her legs could carry her.

Images of blood lingered on her mind. I got to get help. He's in serious danger. Hang on Naruto! She flinched as she sprained her ankle. No-now's not the time to worry about this, she thought. This pain doesn't even compare to Naruto's.
