Chapter 11: Training.


...

Sakura and Sai came to bring Naruto some of Sakura's new, improved soldier pills. They should be tasting better now.

Naruto's Rasen Shuuriken was getting better and better. It was only a matter of time before he could be able to throw it, in stead of running towards his target.

Suddenly, one of the Shadow Clones was starting to form the Kyuubi cloak again. All of the other clones quickly disappeared.

"Yamato-taichou!" the real Naruto yelled.

"I'm on it!" Yamato said. He used his Mokuton Jutsu. Luckily, only one tail had appeared and he could stop it in time.

Naruto was panting. When the Clone disappeared, Naruto sighed in relief. Yamato was standing next to him.

"Are you ok?" he asked. Naruto nodded. His hand formed a fist.

"Damn it," he mumbled. "It happened again."

"You're not concentrating on controlling the Kyuubi's chakra," Yamato said. "Perhaps you should rest for a day. You've been training and been going on missions every day."

"No," Naruto said. "I have to keep training. I have to get stronger…"

"You have to know when to stop," Yamato said. "It's only for half a day. Wearing yourself out isn't gonna get you anywhere."

Naruto looked away. He slowly stopped panting.

"You know," he suddenly said, "I've never known the first thing about my parents. No one has ever talked to me about them."

"Your parents?" Yamato repeated. "I see. So that's what's bothering you."

"There's this girl who knew them," Naruto said. "Kakashi-sensei said she could tell me what my parents were like."

"I see," Yamato said again. "Then I suggest you go to her and ask about them. That way, you'll have less worries on your mind and we can continue our training."

Yamato was right. Naruto stood up and nodded at him. Yamato smiled. "Alright," he said. "See you tomorrow."

And they both took off.

"Where are they going?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know," Sai answered.

"The training couldn't possibly be over already?" Sakura asked. "It's only noon."

"Maybe they're taking a break," Sai said. He stretched out, turned around and said: "Well, I'm off too, then. You coming?"

Sakura kept looking at the training field until both Naruto and Yamato were out of sight. Then she followed Sai. She thought about Naruto. He was acting a little unusual yesterday and this morning. Like he had a lot on his mind, which wasn't like Naruto at all.

But he did have a lot on his mind. Naruto was thinking about what his parents would have been like. He felt stupid, because he had never asked Kakashi about them. It was strange to ask someone he barely even knew, to tell him about them. Then again, he really wanted to know.

His stomach was growling. Naruto stood still.

"So hungry…" he mumbled. His stomach growled again. "Ahhh," he mumbled. "Maybe I should eat first. Kakashi-sensei's not expecting me yet, anyway." He decided to go eat some ramen first, and then immediately look for Kakashi and Mizuki.
