Welcome to my first Fanfiction everyone! I hope you're doing well. I'm getting better at writing these, but I still need input, so if you see anything wrong with my story,

LET. ME. KNOW.

This chapter is going to be mostly filler about training progression and learning jutsu and such, as well as living in the Nara household.

A list of jutsu that Naruto has learned and a skill indicator will be marked at the bottom of the chapter.

Thanks, and enjoy the story!

NOTICE: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO, NARUTO IS PROPERTY OF KISHIMOTO. ALSO, CREDIT GOES TO HANAMAKI. I BASED THE START OF THIS STORY ON THEIR STORY, ARVUM.

Timeskip – 1 Year & 7 Months

Naruto's senseis lived up to their promise. They trained her into the ground. Over the past month, Naruto had used shadow clones to learn various Ken and Taijutsu styles as well as multiple Ninjutsu. Along with the kenjutsu style 'Dance of the Crescent Moon', Naruto has also been learning the Swirling Tides kenjutsu style, made known by Kushina Uzumaki.

Along with kenjutsu, she has learned multiple wind and fire ninjutsu from Asuma as well as two lightning jutsu from Hayate. She was also given a scroll to a taijutsu style, known as the Hummingbird taijutsu style, by the third, as well as a Fuinjutsu book created by the Fourth Hokage.

We find ourselves in ANBU Training Ground 17, where Naruto and Asuma are sparring. Ninjutsu and Taijutsu only. Naruto, unlike Asuma, is wearing resistance seals to increase her physical limits.

"KATON: ENDAN!"was heard loudly in the clearing.

"FUUTON: DAITOPPA!" was shouted with equal vigor from a much deeper voice. Countering, Naruto used a sealless Kawarimi to switch with a twig behind Asuma.

"You're getting better at that, Naruto-chan." Asuma stated firmly while defending from Naruto's incoming leg sweep.

"Thanks Asuma-sensei, I've been working on it for some time now." Naruto breathed out while attempting a lunging side kick at Asuma, only to get her legs taken out from under her.

Asuma put his knee on Naruto's stomach and pinned her wrists, ending the baut. "Too bad it's not enough to get me." Asuma grinned, before scowling when 'Naruto' disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"FUUTON: REPPUUSHOU" Naruto whispered from Asuma's right blind spot. Unfortunately, Asuma was a little too seasoned to fall for this, and countered.

"DOTON: DORYUHEKI" Asuma nearly shouted, creating a wall of mud to block. Jumping over the wall, Asuma landed on Naruto's shoulders and held a kunai to her heart, ending the spar.

Asuma got off Naruto and helped her up, complimenting her improvement. "Thank you Asuma-sensei," Naruto stated cheerfully, "I've been working on getting my jutsu perfected to the point of not requiring more than 1 hand seal, and the non elementals having no hand seals."

Asuma nearly paled at this. "That's quite the goal Naruto-chan, how are you going about it?" Naruto explained that she was using shadow clones and methodically going through the jutsu, starting at the non elementals. She already had the Kage Bunshin sealless and smokeless since she used it so much, the henge down to 1 seal, the Kawarimi down to sealless and reduced smoke, and Shunshin & Raikou Shunshin down to 1 seal.

This thoroughly impressed Asuma, as he didn't know that she was training outside of their and Hayate's training time. He would have to report to his father and tell him about this.

"Those are some good improvements Naruto-chan, but it's getting to the end of our training session as it is already 5. Start dispelling your clones and head home for Shogi and schoolwork with Shikamaru-san." Asuma said with pride lathering his voice.

"Yes, Asuma-sensei."

Timeskip – 4 Hours.

After dinner, Naruto did homework with Shikamaru and played a few shogi games. Losing all the games of shogi like normal, Shikamaru had noticed that Naruto was starting to make progress on strategy. After all of this, Naruto went to bed like normal, thinking about how life would be when she reentered the academy.

AUTHOR NOTES

(Spoilers for next chapter!)

Sorry for the short chapter everyone! Next chapter is going to be a timeskip to when Naruto reenters the academy for the graduation exams. I will be putting another list of jutsu at the bottom like always, and Naruto will be better. I'm putting Naruto at around Low Jonin level. While that may seem like much, she's getting private training from the Jonin Commander, the Hokage's son, and the second best sword master in the hidden leaf while using shadow clones, so this is reasonable progression in my opinion. Also, Naruto won't have that many jutsu, but will have near perfect mastery over almost all of them.
