A/N I apologize for the wait, and you probably are all going to hate me for the news I'm about to tell you. This chapter is basically a filler chapter for things to come. Trust me, I have plenty of plans for the next couple of chapters. Thank you for all of your patience, and I am afraid I'll have to ask for you to show some more. Sorry!

"We are so screwed," Tazuna said. Naruto shook his head.

"We beat him once, and even if he has an accomplice, we will be able to do it again, especially if we train. Besides, he still hasn't seen all of our abilities. All he knows is I control ice, Sasuke can do a fire jutsu, and Hinata has a Byakugan. He also may know about certain abilities of the Sharingan." Naruto explained. Tazuna frowned, and nodded.

"I guess…" he mumbled. Kakashi eye smiled.

"Amazing deduction skills Naruto!" he complimented. Naruto grinned. Sasuke sighed.

"Of course you would be happy at a small amount of praise…" he mumbled. Naruto glared slightly. Hinata giggled. Kakashi sighed.

"I estimate he will be recovered in about a week, so I will be training you in chakra exercises, along with your own unique abilities. Naruto, your ice abilities, Sasuke, your fire abilities, and Hinata, you will be training in your Jyuuken and your Byakugan, along with some elemental training." Kakashi said. His team nodded.

"Dinner time!" Tsunami called. Naruto grinned and immediately ran to the table.

"Yes! I'm starving! Itadakimasu!" Naruto shouted. Hinata sighed and shook her head, smiling. Everyone else sat down and also said, "Itadakimasu," followed by a sigh of satisfaction. With the sound of scraping utensils, Kakashi coughed.

"So, Naruto, I heard you were working on a new technique? Fuinjutsu if I remember, correct? This is the first time I've heard of you playing with the Sealing Arts," he spoke up. Naruto nodded, smiling lightly.

"I heard that the Fourth Hokage was a Master of the stuff, so I decided to try and learn it. Surprisingly, it is coming to me fairly easily. I'm already able to make intermediate sealing scrolls and I have created my own type of tag. I call it the Frostbang Tag. It's basically a double layered elemental seal with a trigger. Wind and Water elements, though finding the right proportions for the seal was difficult. I don't want the seal to have too little ice or too much water so the wind won't be able to freeze it all," Naruto explained. Kakashi nodded.

"What is it supposed to do?" Hinata asked. Naruto grinned.

"It is supposed to instantly freeze whatever it's attached too!" he grinned wider, "A flash freeze!" he exclaimed. Everyone laughed, though Sasuke sighed.

"Puns… ugh," he sighed out. Again, everyone laughed. Sasuke glared lightly. Naruto smirked, and did a hand seal before transforming. A puff of smoke later and a Blonde girl was rubbing up against Sasuke.

"Oh Sasuke-kun~" Naruko moaned. Sasuke's eye twitch and he smacked Naruko, breaking the Transformation.

"That confirms it. He's gay," Naruto said, grinning. Sasuke's eye twitch again.

"I. Am. Not. Gay." he said, accenting each word. Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Uh huh. That's why you broke my henge," he said, grinning. Hinata giggled from Naruto's teasing. Kakashi was passed out in the back from a nosebleed. Naruto coughed.

"Pervert." Hinata said, looking distastefully at their sensei. Naruto grinned, as Kakashi stood up, wiping at his mask.

"Ok, go to sleep, it is late and you are going to start your training at 5am tomorrow. You'll want it," Kakashi said, blushing, even though they couldn't see it. His genin nodded and all went to their respective assigned rooms. That night, Naruto decided to visit his vixen.

~Mindscape~

Naruto awoke in a familiar place, and immediately ran to the throne room of the looming castle in his mind. He walked in, grinning at the beautiful woman in front of him.

"Kura-chan! I'm back! Did you miss me?" he said, embracing the woman, who smiled.

"Of course Naru-kun. You need to talk to me more through the link, it gets lonely with only a old dragon to talk to. He is kind of boring." She said, followed by an indignant huff from Koritatsu. They laughed at his expense, causing him to grumble in annoyance. Naruto rolled his eyes.

"I apologize Kura-chan, I have just been kind of busy lately…" Naruto said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. Kurama giggled at Naruto's antics. Then she glared playfully.

"So, your so busy you can't even spare a thought to me? How rude!" she exclaimed. Naruto started to wave his hands frantically.

"No! No! That's not it at all! I just forget, that's all…." he mumbled out the last part pathetically. Kurama giggled once again.

"I'm just teasing Naru-kun, I know your busy." she smiled. Naruto sighed in relief.

"I have to go Kura-chan, I'll talk to you later, ok?" he said. Kurama nodded, as Naruto started to fade from the mindscape.

~Real World~

As Naruto groggily opened his eyes, Sasuke was wide awake, and decided to get some payback for the day before. He steadily approached Naruto's bed, making hand signs.

"Water Style: Water Stream Jutsu," he whispered, before a small stream of water splashed Naruto in the face, forcing him awake instantly. He looked at Sasuke's smirking form, pissed.

"What the hell! You asshole!" Naruto yelled, sprinting at Sasuke, dripping wet. Sasuke laughed, and jumped out the window. Naruto grumbled.

"Damn him…" he sighed, before starting to change into his everyday clothing.

"Naruto-kun! What is all the commotion about- Eep!" Hinata squeaked, opening the door, only to see Naruto shirtless. She immediately closed the door, apologizing profusely. Naruto laughed. Today was going to be interesting.
