Naruto sighed and tipped back his head as he waited for his Jonin instructor to arrive. Ever since he had learned about the abilities of the Kage Bunshin, Naruto had been using Kage Bunshin to grow smarter, develop battle strategies, and most importantly, learn new jutsu and grow stronger. Before he had learned how to use Shadow Clones, Sasuke would always defeat him in every dogfight, every spar, and every tactics battle they ever fought. However, with his shadow clones, he had made up for the difference in talent, and even outstripped it. Now, Naruto would constantly grow stronger each time they fought, and he realized, while they were fighting. Sasuke was confused and infuriated by his contemporaries sudden growth, but he could not find the reason why, and therefore just dedicated himself to train harder. Little did Sasuke know, the reason for the decrease of the gap between them was due to Naruto's monstrous stamina and chakra reserves. Because of them, Naruto would always have several hundred shadow clones training, learning, and practicing. However, there seemed to be one jutsu that he just could not master, no matter how many shadow clones he applied to it. The Hiraishin, or more specifically, the first stage of the training (summoning jutsu).
He had originally brushed off the jutsu as a waste of time, but as he read about it more and more, he realized how useful it would be. With it, he could fly across the battlefield and control the flow of the conflict. However, he had hit is first snag when learning the summoning jutsu. In order summon anything, he would have to sign a contract with a species. However, there was nobody that he could ask to bring him a contract, nor anyone who could summon a creature for him. This was why he hoped that his instructor, one of the finest Jonin in Konoha, would be able to introduce him to a species for him to sign a contract with.
Naruto growled as he, Sakura, and Sasuke were the only three left in the room. His Jonin sensei should have arrived hours ago! This made him receive an annoyed glare from Sakura and a patronizing smile from Sasuke. Naruto got up, and began to perform the signs for Kage-Bunshin, as a hand with an iron grip slammed him onto the desk, and an impassive, grey-haired man in his early thirties stared at him in the eyes, his face impassive. "Now now, we can't have any fights, can we." Kakashi Hatake said lightly, before releasing his grip on Naruto's neck. Again he spoke, but addressing everyone in the room. 'I am Kakashi Hatake, and I will be your Jonin instructor.
