I love stories that give Naruto real training but why are there so few of those that do not rely on the clone jutsu or Kurama's power...I have so many ideas that my brain hurts.

Like what if Yugao, after Hayate dies, trains Naruto when he rejects Jiraiya after he threw him in the canyon? She is powerful, skilled, not op and has a diverse skill set that would really do Naruto well...or before, if she saved him from Mizuki and started to teach him instead of crappy Kakashi!

Let's say Naruto takes a week to learn to summon Gamabunta, spends a day or so in the hospital, and then refuses to work with Jiraiya anymore, saying he wants to train, not die. Yugao somehow hears this and decides to train him when she realizes what Jiraiya did and to help keep the kid alive when clearly no one else taught him anything and to honor Hayate who taught her so kindly and lovingly...

Just a thought, what do you think? No Naruto Yugao romance.
