Disclaimer: I still don't own Naruto or any of its characters
Summary so far: So Naruto left Konoha to train with Arashi hearing things that broke his heart. Kakashi is out of commission, Sakura is crying, and Sasuke is stunned.
Authors notes: So, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. This chapter will serve as a insight to Naruto's training throughout the timeskip which will be about 3-4 years. About Sasuke being nice, well I did that because I felt if Naruto managed to beat him, he would have a different insight to life, like Gaara. So those are the notes R&R, hope you enjoy.
"Dialogue"
'Thoughts'
"Kyubi"
With Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke
A squad of ANBU had been on the trail of the three just some 10 minutes behind them, to keep an eye on Sasuke since he was still under constant supervision.
"What happened here?" One of the Anbu asked
"We were chasing Naruto, but then some guy took out Kakashi-sensei" Sasuke replied calmly
"Where is he then?"
"I don't know, they just… just disappeared" Sasuke spoke re-running the scenario through his head
"We'll get Kakashi back to Konoha, you two will be accompanied by an Anbu" The Anbu captain then signaled for one of his men to stay there with Sasuke and Sakura.
Sasuke then walked over to the still crying Sakura.
"Come on Sakura, we have to go back to Konoha" Sasuke whispered
"It's…it's..*hic* all..*hic* my fault" stuttered Sakura
"No it's not, it's all of our faults, we should have treated him better" Sasuke replied trying to get some of the guilt off Sakura's mind.
"No *hic*all he wanted *hic* was to make me happy *hic* and I treated him *hic* like dirt" Sakura
"The only thing we can do is train to get strong enough to get him back from that man he was with" Sasuke replied with a new sense of confidence.
Sakura slowly began to stand up, drying her eyes.
'Naruto… I will train to get you back.. my promise to you is to make your life happy, you've already done so much for me' thought a new confident Sakura. With that Sasuke, Sakura, and the Anbu that was with them headed back to Konoha.

With Arashi and Naruto
"Ok kid you look like your starving, since I'm a traveler all I really have is instant ramen" spoke Arashi
Naruto's face widened with a grin. He already loved this guy.
"After your done with the food, we're going to start our training"
After 30 minutes and 10 instant ramen cups later, Naruto got up.
"Alright, Let's start training!" Screamed Naruto
"Ok, first I'm going to teach you how to control your chakra so you can do this-" Arashi lifted his right arm, palm open, aimed it to his right. Chakra started concentrating in his palm, it kept condensing into a ball. It grew bigger and bigger, just then it shot out of his hand. A huge explosion followed. Naruto covered his eyes from the explosion. As the dust settled Naruto's eyes went wide open. A huge 20 foot gap of trees were missing, it went on for as long as he could see.
"Woah…" Naruto said, astonished
"The first part is to gather your chakra, then you condense it into a ball, and then you release it and that's it" Arashi commented
"It's that easy?" Naruto asked
"Well some of it, the gathering of the chakra is easy and the release is easy. But to condense it, you have to have free moving energy in the center, while having a thin condensed layer on the end easy enough to break when it hits something, but not to light that it lets all the energy go"
"Ok let me try!" And with that Naruto started his training.

1 year later, Hokage's office
Sakura soon started training under Tsunade, while Sasuke and Kakashi trained together.
A letter arrived in the office. On the front read "Oba-chan"
Tsunade opened it to see her necklace that she gave Naruto. Tears started forming in her eyes. She then took out the letter and started to read it.
Oba-chan,
Before you get upset on me giving back the necklace, please hear me out. I wanted to re-win it from you in a bet when I return in a couple of years. Then you have something to look forward too.
Your favorite Genin
Naruto Uzimaki
More tears were forming in Tsunade's eyes.
'Alright kid, you got yourself a bet'
More author's notes: this is part one of two for the training. The next one should be up by tomorrow or Tuesday. Hope you enjoyed.
