"5 hours a day... for about 3 years with no days off..."

"That would be 625 years worth of training with Shadow Clones, but the bigger thing is... in that amount of time you'll literally be able to do every jutsu that you are physically able to do." Erza spoke with Naruto as the two of them walked by to the Hidden Leaf with Kakashi. Since Orochimaru was on the way back to the village, Jiraiya had told them he would go find Tsunade on his own and bring her back with him.

It was important that the two of them got to the village before Orochimaru did after all, that way they could inform the Third Hokage before anything bad possibly happened.

Jiraiya was just going to have to handle the mission on his own, which was no skin off of their noses.

Naruto hummed in thought.

"... Will I need the entire 3 years for that though?" Naruto said in thought, trying to think of how many jutsu he would be able to learn in that amount of time. He just grinned to himself though, smiling a smug smile as he thought of how much he would be able to brag to Sasuke about what he was going to be able to accomplish with his favorite new way to train. "Kakashi-sensei, you copied 1000 jutsu right?" Naruto asked Kakashi with a tilted head.

"Yes."

"How long do you think it would take me to learn those jutsu from you?" Naruto asked an innocent question, but Kakashi put some serious thought into it.

'In 9 hours he learned the Rasengan, which is a jutsu so hard and so chakra consuming most people never master it... so most jutsu would take him... with 1000 shadow clones... maybe 1 or 2 hours at most... provided I make sure he learns how to change his chakra nature...' Kakashi on the outside didn't seem like he was doing much thinking, but on the inside he was starting to come to a startling realization about the potential of what used to be his worst student. 'He could learn about 9 jutsu or so in a day... and he has more than enough chakra to practice each jutsu... so round it up to 10 for those good days. 70 a week... he would learn about 3640 jutsu a year if he went at that pace...'

He REALLY should have taught Naruto this training method a LONG time ago, because if he had, Naruto would have absolutely blown through the Chunin exams in record time. He had the determination and will to train, and the method to learn every technique put in front of him in record time.

He was starting to realize he was not a great teacher for Naruto if he had not pointed this out way ahead of time.

"It would take you-"

"About 3 and a half months to master 1,000 different jutsu." Erza answered while Kakashi was answering, a thoughtful smile as she tried to think of how nice it would be if Naruto had 10 jutsu to go with every one of her armors he had access to. It would make for a lot of great combinations in the future that she could have never had access to in her own life. "You should start training with more of my armors Naruto." Erza reminded Naruto.

His cheeks turned red, and he shifted himself nervously, not feeling extremely comfortable with some of her more risque armors he had seen in the storage.

"Won't that speed up the... ya know."

"True... but the Shadow Clone training is already speeding up the process quite a bit. Most of your hair is red now, you've got more red than blond." Erza looked at his hair from different angles. What used to be blond with bits and chunks of red, was now mostly red with pieces of blond here and there.

Kakashi just watched Naruto look like he was talking to himself.

"Just a heads up Naruto... you're the host to the Kyuubi... don't talk to Erza in public, it's not a great image for a guy like you to be seen talking to something nobody else can see." Kakashi gave his advice on the subject. He personally knew better, so he knew that Naruto was talking to Erza and not the monster fox.

For everyone else it would be a terrifying thought.

"We're back!"

Naruto jumped through the gate in excitement, he was going to go straight to his apartment and gather up all of the jutsu scrolls that he had never been able to properly learn before. Then he was going to go to the training field and practice his heart out.

"Yeah, that was a long run, we should get a snack first to keep our spirit up." Erza offered that suggestion.

Naruto nodded.

Kakashi went to to make his report to the Hokage.

-With Naruto 50 minutes later-

"Naruto-kun!"

"Holy crap is that kid okay?" Erza asked as she looked at a boy with crutches, his arm and leg in casts that seemed to have no future of coming off. He was smiling as he had Tenten walking with him, and she was sending him a sad look every now and again.

"Bushy Brows!"

"I heard you defeated Neji... one day I want to fight you again... I will recover from my injuries one day, I know it. I knew you were a good choice to make into one of my number 1 rivals." Rock Lee extended his fist towards Naruto in a familiar fashion, as if he were dripping blood on the ground. Naruto looked at the motion, before he let out a giant grin and nodded his head.

"I can't wait!"

"Boys." Tenten just gave a shrug with a smile, before she looked to see Naruto had a stack of cake plates in front of him. She looked at Ichiraku Ramen with a raised eyebrow, and saw that they were now serving cake slices. "Since when did Ichiraku serve cake?" Tenten HAD to ask that.

It was a ramen store.

"Since our favorite customer has been going to other stores... we want this little guy back with us." Teuchi didn't hesitate to shamelessly admit that he added something to the menu purely to keep Naruto from going to any other store but his own for full meals. If Naruto got addicted to cake and stopped eating ramen completely, then he would see a major dip in his profits. "It's easier for us to start serving cake too than it is for us to lose Naruto... and Ayame certainly loves making cute cakes. More women have been visiting, so it's a win win." Teuchi had seen an increase in overall profit.

Still, he was going to have to hire some more help now that his daughter was on cake making duty half of the time instead of helping him.

"Thanks for the food, I'm going to go train now."

"I see! Do you mind if I come Naruto-kun!?"

"No problem!" Naruto just found Lee's energy to be infectious to the point he couldn't deny the older boy his request to watch him train.

-Hours Later-

"Awesome! Okay, now lets start learning the Dragon Flame jutsu!" Naruto called out as he summoned an entirely new batch of clones. It was just another one of the jutsu scrolls he had but never had the talent to learn or understand before now. With Erza's help understanding the weird explanations, and his shadow clones, he was making a hell of a lot of progress.

Tenten's jaw was dropped.

Rock Lee wasn't doing much better as he looked at Naruto mastering jutsu after jutsu, many of which were very advanced and chakra consuming. His eyes were widened with shocked awe, sparkles in his eyes.

Water Release - Water Dragon, Water Bullet, Great Waterfall, and Water Prison
Fire Release - Fireball
Earth Release - Earth Wall, Earth Dragon Bullet
Wind Release - Drilling Air Bullet, Vacuum Sphere
Lightning Release - Shadow Clone

Naruto was mastering technique after technique at a freakish speed that amazed both of the ninja who were now watching this insane method of training.

"I think... Neji might have been really lucky Naruto didn't know he could do this before their match... he would have stood no chance at all." Tenten just covered her mouth in shock as multiple jutsu just got turned into learning fodder. With Naruto's absolutely insane stamina, he could keep this training up for hours and hours.

Rock Lee was visibly excited, practically shaking.

This got him excited for the day he would be able to try and recover, that way he could challenge Naruto and test this insane growth for himself. Tenten just sighed and sat down on top of a boulder.

"Naruto, stop, you're about to hit..."

All of the Shadow Clones popped at once, and Naruto's eyes rolled into the back of his head as he hit peek exhaustion. Erza just rubbed the bridge of her nose, knowing that Naruto had trained himself into exhaustion. The mental stress of keeping up so many different training shadow clones for such a long period of time had taken a huge mental tax on him. He wasn't in any danger, but he was going to need to sleep in order to regain his mental strength to continue with this training.

Erza leaned down into Naruto's body.

She took over.

"Okay, lets get you home and to bed... but not before getting some dinner first... Tenten, and Rock Lee, would the two of you like to join me for a trip to the bath house and dinner?" Erza asked in a demanding, you have no right to refuse, tone. Tenten blinked and realized that Erza had taken over, while Lee had absolutely no idea why Naruto suddenly had a massive change in personality. "Oh wait, you're injured... just dinner for you then, a big meal to recover with... and Tenten, of course we're going to bond over a bath." Erza wrapped her arms around both Lee and Tenten, using Naruto and her body to interact with them.

She just loved the times when Naruto just let her have control, because even in his sleep he could have just blocked her if he wanted to. The fact she could take control meant that he was allowing her to do it.

"That sounds like a great idea!"

"... Did Naruto okay that second part?" Tenten asked with a deadpan tone, whispering it to Erza, since she knew full well who was currently in control of Naruto's body at the moment. Since it was Erza and not Naruto in control, she would be fine with the bath idea (she would be fine with it either way honestly), but she didn't want to bath with Naruto when he was naked, if he didn't give the okay.

"I'm in control aren't I?"

"Fair point."

"What is this conversation?" Lee asked in confusion.

"Don't worry about it, just girl talk."

"Now I'm even more confused!?"

2 explanations later, and Rock Lee still had no idea what the hell was going on at the moment, but he decided to roll with it anyway despite not understanding the story that made no sense to him.

That was just how he rolled.
