Jiraiya snorted "Not that you've perfected all that you learned, but there's nothing new for me to teach you. So, get back to your training." He dusted off his pants calmly as he stood.
"EHHhhh... but I already finished the course with the 300lb weights." Naruto stammered.
"Then double them."
"Baka Ero-Sennin!" Naruto panted as he trudged slowly up the waterfall. "Stupid training."
Running up a waterfall isn't an easy task. You have to maintain a steady flow of chakra, just like the water walking; and you have to focus the chakra into your feet so that you stick to the water, like the tree climbing, but several new factors are added. The object upon which you are focusing the chakra, the water, is constantly moving downward and your chakra focus must flow against the current to the new water falling under your feet. And with weights, there is an added factor of intense gravity.
Finally clearing the top, Naruto struggles to reach the river bed where he collapses on the bank.
That pervert's going to kill me before Akatsuki even gets the chance...
Naruto grunts as his eyes slowly open, blinking in the light. Stupid sun... I must have fallen asleep...
Naruto jumps up suddenly and spins around, eyes narrowing as he glares suspiciously into the surrounding foliage. I know I heard something... straining his ears he hears a muffled noise in the distance. There! Dashing off after the sound, Naruto clears two miles in a couple of seconds. I didn't know my hearing was this good...
Pausing outside of the clearing, Naruto surveys the scene, repeating to himself a lesson he learned the hard way. A good ninja prepares himself before going into action...
The sneers of three young men echo in his ears as they appear to be torturing some poor animal. "Stupid demon, thought you could get away with stealing our food?" The creature whimpered in pain as he kicked it, flinging it a few feet across the ground.
A fierce protectiveness surged through Naruto, as Kyubi's red charka suddenly emanates from him. Growling, he lunges into the clearing in front of the men. Naruto slowly stands and faces the men, glaring through red eyes. "Don't you dare touch him."
The men take a step back. "And who are you to tell us what to do, punk?"
Naruto gives an almost evil foxy grin. "Uzumaki Naruto, the future Hokage and your worst nightmare."
Cautiously, Naruto approaches the injured animal. The wounded creature opens its eyes and growls as he nears. "Hey there little one, I'm not going to hurt ya." Rubbing the back of his head, Naruto ponders how to calm the animal down. "How bout we start with introductions?" He hold out his hand, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto."
Glaring at the human, the creature warily crawls closer and sniffs his outstretched hand, blinking in suprise. "Otousan?"
