Chapter 57

In the hokage's office...

"And that's what happened Tsunade." Kakashi just finished explaining what just happened.

"Are you sure that it wasn't a genjutsu?"

"I'm positive I even used the sharingan to verify even asking Yamato if he saw what I saw."

"Is this true Yamato?" Tsunade asked. In response Yamato nodded his head.

"I see I will have to do some research. You are dismissed." Tsunade said waving them away before pulling out a blank scroll and writing a D rank mission to some research.

"Shizune!"

"Yes lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked.

"I want you to give this mission to team Ebisu and tell him it's a request from the hokage."

"Yes Tsunade." Shizune said after receiving the scroll and leaving the office to do the delivery.

Back at the training ground…

Naruto and Seth was collapsed on the ground covered in bruises and scratches.

"Good spar." Seth said picking himself up from the ground and walking over to Naruto to help him up.

"Yeah. When do you think those two are going to be back?"

"About..."

"Yo." Kakashi said

"Now."

"Sorry about leaving you two we had to do something for Tsunade." Kakashi said which really wasn't a lie but it wasn't the full truth either but, it was enough so they let him slide this time.

1 day and 3 hours later...

The training ground was littered with Naruto's all over the place each and every was trying to cut a leaf with their chakra. Seth on the other hand had only a small group of clones trying to do so and they were getting farther than all the Naruto's effort. While another and much larger group was working on the fire release the original was included in this group.

Meanwhile at the Nara residence…

Asuma and Shikamaru are playing shogi. Asuma then moved a piece.

"It's unusual for you to use the climbing silver move right away. Let's take our time and not rush." Shikamaru said.

"It's acting as the infiltration of an enemy camp. You need to be able to make such plays at times."

"I thought you hated moves like this? Just like me…"

"Against a superior opponent one must make some sacrifices in order to protect one's king." Asuma responded leaving Shikamaru to think to himself.

"What's going on?""

"Nothing really. It's just that I'm finally starting to realize the value of the king."

Skip 5 mins of explanation…

"Checkmate." Shikamaru declared as he won the match.

"Argh! Lost again!"

"Looks like you're treating us to the dinner and the party after our next assignment master."

"Oh all right…" Asuma said

"Master Asuma!" came the sudden voice of Naruto. Both of them looked to see where it came from.

"Oh it's you, Naruto." Shikamaru said.

"What's up?" Asuma asked.

"Actually I wanted to ask you something." Naruto said

"Tricks for mastering wind change chakra in nature, eh…"

"Yeah I would have asked Seth but he said he really had no idea how he was doing it."

Back at the training ground…

All the naruto clones eyes went wide as they finally figure out all thanks to Asuma's explanation.

I'm going to end it here cause I really have no idea how to continue on with this.
