Chapter 3

AN: This part takes place halfway through the training session.

"Nice job, Naruto! Who has been training you?" Minato asked right after Naruto had summoned Gamabunta.

"Well, I kinda taught myself Kage Bunshin Jutsu, my sensei, Kakashi has helped a lot, and my newest master, Jiraiya, taught me loads of things about Kyuubi, and Frog Summoning." Naruto explained.

"Kakashi? Did you know I trained him in my squad?" Minato asked.

"No, he actually didn't tell us much about himself, other than his best friends died, and are on the Memorial Stone," Naruto replied.

"Hmmm… interesting," Minato thought out loud.

"Well then, show me another jutsu," Minato commanded.

"All right," Naruto mumbled. He performed Kage Bunshin Jutsu, and stood there while his clone performed Rasengan.

"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted. The blue sphere was bigger than ever, and thrived with power, because Naruto had a new confidence. He knew that Minato would always be there for him, from now on. He charged at a tree, there was a huge explosion, and the tree was split in half, half of it on the ground.

"Very good, Naruto, you really are coming along well, just like your father," Minato commented.

"You think so, Dad?" Naruto asked.

"Of course! Just a little bit more training, expanding your arsenal of jutsu, and hard work on your part, you'll definitely become Hokage," Minato reassured. "That's enough for today. I think I should show you your new house!"

"Yeah that'd be great!" Naruto replied. "We have to move my stuff, though."
