Smiling as he leant against the tree trunk, lounging on a branch, Naruto gazed out at his teammates as they learned how to walk up a tree. They were on their first real mission to Wave and already he had to show just how far his private tutoring had gone. The brothers that had attacked them earlier had been quickly followed after by Zabuza and his apparent apprentice. Once they had arrived at wave, he had admitted to private tutoring since before he had even graduated the academy to fix his teachers fuck ups.
Predictably, Sasuke had been pissed up until Kakashi had stated that the tutoring program was open to anyone who wanted it. Sakura had said that Naruto was probably still working on academy level exercises. She had quickly shut up when he had walked up a tree and then back down with out any major problems. Once more, his teammates had made their outrage known.
"Why is it you're still a gennin?" Kakashi asked, coming to stand next to his student. Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"I'm supposed to be learning how to work on a team. So far I've still learned more working with my tutor then I have with you, Kakashi-sensei," Naruto drawled, shrugging one shoulder.
"And what do you mean by that?" the silver haired man asked, eyebrow raising upwards.
"Sasuke refuses to work with anyone else unless they make themselves useful in someway, otherwise he's a lone avenger. As for Sakura, to her I'm nothing but an idiot who has no sense and Sasuke is her God," Naruto stated. "Not like I haven't evaded ANBU's civilians or even you when I've decided I didn't want to be found. Not like I didn't create a jutsu all on my own," he snorted before standing. "I'm going to work on my water walking. I'm still iffy on choppy water."
With those parting words, Naruto bounded off, leaving Kakashi to wonder just how blind he was when it came to his students. Sitting on his branch, crutches next to him and cast perched on another branch, he settled into think needed deep thoughts.
