Orochimaru's assault on the Leaf Village hospital and attempt to kidnap two of the Chunin Exams finalists was the furthest thing from unnoticed. Sasuke was moved immediately to his old home since his health needed the least monitoring. Naruto remained in his hospital room, but the security around them both was more than enough for even a Kage. Kakashi, Tenzo, and their old anbu teammate Yugao guarded the last Uchiha. In place of the two normally monitoring the jinchuriki, Anko and the only other person in the world thought to be on her rogue mentor's level.
Naruto's eyes fluttered open. "Where the hell?" He lifted his upper body and saw a silver-haired man sitting to his far right and a woman he was certain there was a chance of copulation with to the far left.
"They said you'd need a month or two to regain consciousness." Anko scoffed. "And you get up in a week."
"It's been a week?!" He jumped out of bed, making them get out of their seats in turn.
The odd man stepped in his way. "Easy there, kid. You've still got some internal damage; skin's all patched up though."
"Who the…" He shook his head. "Who are you?" He frowned. "I need to train."
"You will. There are some things we need to tell you first," Anko said, voice uncharacteristically gentle yet serious.
The stranger nodded. "Some things happened while you were out."
"What happened?" Naruto's eyes scanned the room. "Where's Kakashi?" His brow furrowed. "Where are my teammates?"
"Orochimaru tried to grab the two of you at the same time, but Kakashi and Anko here chopped him in half."
He raised an eyebrow and relaxed. "So that bastard's dead?"
"I hit him with an exploding shadow clone, and he was still walking." Anko frowned. "Even if me and Woody the Test Tube Baby toasted the real thing back in the forest, I doubt that was enough to kill him."
"Wait, you're the reason why the Forest of Death burned half itself down?" The stranger asked, face scrunched in confusion.
She blushed and pointed at the boy. "His friend blew a massive fireball way bigger than what we did."
"He was being chased by a giant snake, one you and that asshole wood spy guy left alive" Naruto deadpanned.
"You have no idea how many memories that brings back." The man shook his head. "Orochimaru, you death-by-snake-loving bastard."
The bandaged boy crossed his arms. "Okay, who are you? I'm starting to get mad, and I really want do something else right now."
"Who am I?"
Anko groaned. "Ah fuck."
He began bouncing on one big-sandal wearing foot. "My appea–"
"No." Naruto dropped, swept the leg as the foot landed, and got up as the stranger hit the back of his head against his chair. Anko covering her mouth with her hand to keep down overwhelming laughter made him grin. "What do you say we get out of here?" A firm hand on his shoulder made him blink. "Uh?"
The stranger turned him to face eye-to-eye. "They told me you were a problem child: angry at the world and the village for looking down on you for something you have no control over. You act out, hurt people, and say the most obscene things. I understand now."
"...I have no idea who you are, a dozen questions on my mind, and a fight I've been waiting for so long in three or four more weeks." His eyes narrowed. "I'd spit in your face, but I am trying really hard not to be that person right now, so please fuck off me."
"It's true: he went on a rant during a match before he went coma about how thick his opponent's sister was. Talked about spanking her fat ass and suckling her big tits. Even almost started tap-dancing about it near the end." Anko laughed at the memory.
Naruto blushed and glanced at the woman. "That bastard was holding out on me, the one suckling at her tits was supposed to be our lovechild, and I was baiting him into a perfect attack that I was trying to time."
"How thick are we talking about?" The man asked, letting go and giving him space.
"It was, like, four years ago, but I swear she had tits the size of my head when she was barely turning about fifteen." He held out his hands and squeezed in accordance to the size he remembered. "Same as her ass."
The stranger held a hand to his chin. "Damn, that's thick."
"I know, right?!"
"I…" Anko drifted off. While she didn't mind the boy thinking like young boys did, she wasn't sure about the influence of the other man. Kakashi would ironically have less issue with her watching over Naruto instead of him. His lust needed assuring feminine feedback instead of assuring forever virgin masculine feedback. She knew because she didn't like them getting along. "Didn't you want to train?"
Naruto glanced back at her. "Well, yeah. Where's my team?"
"You're not going to be training with the rest of your team," the stranger said.
"Why not?" He focused back on him. "Sakura finally proved she was approaching our level. We were going to start training together for real."
Anko frowned. "So long as Orochimaru wants you and Sasuke, you can't be in the same place. He's like a selfish playground kid: he wants all the toys, but he can't do anything except cry if they're split between people he's scared of. Me and this guy can scare him off. Kakashi and his old anbu buddies can too."
"Why not just guard us all together in the same place then?"
"Because he's likely to do something catastrophic to get to you two. Believe us when we tell you he can. Splitting you is our best course of action until we can deal with him," the stranger said.
"You've gotta be kidding me." Groaning, he looked to the grown man. "I still don't know who you are."
Anko saw an opening to save them both from the pain of him attempting his entrance. "He's Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin. He was taught by the Third Hokage, and so was Orochimaru. Both are Sannin."
"Old Man Hokage taught that freak?" He asked, looking back at her.
"It's a long story." She looked at the dejected legend's face. "He'll tell you about it while we're training."
Jiraiya held up a hand. "Hold on! I agreed to watch over the kid, not train him."
She nearly sighed in relief. "Then I'll take care of that end." She glanced at the kid in question. "That good with you? I did promise to teach you a trick or two."
He glanced at her chest before nodding. "Better you than that pervert."
"Hey!" Jiraiya pointed an accusing finger at him. "You're looking at her boobs and were talking about that girl with me a moment ago!"
"It's okay when you're cute or handsome," Anko said, walking over to ruffle Naruto's hair with one hand and pinch his reddening cheek with the other.
The man deflated. "That's so unfair."
"Welcome to life. That shouldn't be news to you anyway, old man." She giggled as the boy moved his head with her ruffling hand. "I can tell this one's going to grow into a looker. With my training, he'll be the deadliest and therefore hottest guy in the village."
Naruto began bouncing on the balls of his heels in excitement. "Let's get started then!"
"I know just the place!" Jiraiya proclaimed with ulterior motives.
It was an unexpected change, but there was nothing they could do about it. The boy was back to his stable, growing self. Whether or not it'd stick remained to be seen. He was seeing past it for a silver-lining, and he'd come to appreciate it.
Tenzo and Yugao watched out on the roofs of the Uchiha Compound. Sasuke hadn't lived there for years, but they didn't want any potential civilians caught in a potential crossfire. Kakashi, while Sasuke got his bearings, was teaching Sakura while the boys were out. She found the place unsettling due to the past history and absence of anyone else. More than a few times, she'd find Sasuke staring at the floor of the room or the emblem outside on the compound walls. It wouldn't do either of them good to be there long.
Sasuke balled his hands into fists, relaxed, got out of his futon, jumped, stretched, and walked to the training area where almost all of his team were. "I've been in bed for too long."
Dropping her hand signs, Sakura looked to him. "Sasuke! Naruto woke up!" Her relieved expression changed into one that'd give most people the impression she was about to cry. "But Kakashi gave him to that woman!"
"I did say we were going to split you for your own good," their sensei, nose-in-book, said.
"When it first started, I thought we were going to have to stop Naruto!" She pointed at the one-eyed man. "But it was you the entire time!"
He peaked out to shoot her a look. "Don't be so dramatic; it's only for the rest of the month."
"I still don't think this is a good idea after how he was during the preliminaries," Sasuke said.
"Naruto woke up in a great mood and was actually excited after the news settled."
Sakura whined. "Of course he was excited: she let him grope her big boobs!"
"I was very clear that she was not to allow him to touch her intimately again."
"And you believed her?" They asked in unison.
"...Let's just say she understands what would happen if she crossed those boundaries again." Kakashi's normal eye looked up. "And that the other person helping protect him will…" He blinked. "Fuck."
"She's going to take Naruto away!" Sakura turned to her twitching teammate.
Sasuke groaned. "We're going to hear about it so many times. He never shuts up." Shaking his head, he walked out on to the grass, having overgrown without tending. "I need to make up for lost time."
"Are you sure you're ready?" Kakashi asked.
He made several hand signs and blew an average-sized ball of fire towards the sky. "Was that acceptable?"
"How many hand seals did you make?"
"Six; how many else would I?"
Kakashi made half the number of seals, tilted his head up so they wouldn't see him move down his mask, spat a bigger fireball into the sky, and put his mask back to face his surprised students. "Your chakra control needs work." He focused on Sakura. "Yours is great, but I've been making you cast genjutsu after genjutsu so you realize how to make them with one sign or even no sign at all. One of the worst thing for genjutsu users is your target realizing they're in one or seeing you go through the signs for them." Focusing back on Sasuke, he eye-smiled. "But you will be focusing more on your footwork, conditioning, and a jutsu that will let you win against that jinchuriki."
"Can I learn those too?" Sakura asked.
"It'll distract from your genjutsu training, but if it's what you want."
She raised a hand to stroke her chin. "Specializing is good on a team, but I am about to fight in a solo match."
"You only used one genjutsu against Ino," Sasuke said. "Your enemy will be expecting it and watching your hand signs." He looked to Kakashi. "That fake hunter-nin back in Wave used one hand to make signs. Do you think Sakura can too?"
"One-handed seals, huh? I only knew one ninja who could use them," Kakashi said, mind drifting back to an old memory.
Sakura raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
"...The Fourth Hokage."
"Well, that's out as a possibility huh?" She raised a hand to rub the back of her head. "I'm way below the level of a Kage."
Sasuke shook his head. "Our opponent wasn't on that level. They were good but not that good. I'm sure it's just a level of great chakra control."
"You're right. He said as much." Kakashi felt nostalgia for a time long since passed.
"You spoke with the Fourth?"
"That's not important." He looked to his female student. "If you practice your jutsu, I'm sure you'll reach that level: you got tree-walking down in literal seconds on your first try."
She nodded at his words and blinked. "Wait, you knew Lord Fourth?"
"Everyone knows the Fourth."
"That's not what I meant.
"It's really not important." He eye-smiled.
"...Okay. So are we going to train or?"
Kakashi looked to Sasuke. "How open are you to using the walls and infrastructure of your clan's compound as target practice?"
"I'm closed." He frowned.
"Then let's pack our things and move somewhere more acceptably destructible." He focused back on Sakura. "Can you get permission from your parents to leave for a couple of weeks?"
"Going to just tell them I am."
"You are a lovely daughter."
Neither knew the full extent of their opponents' abilities. They'd need to refine themselves or develop an ace in their sleeves. A chance of death existed in both fights, and they weren't going to back down after making it to the final stage. Even if they had to fight each other, they'd see it through.
Jiraiya led Naruto and Anko to a series of lakes created by waterfalls half-naked women frolicked about. They were far away enough to not be noticed unless someone really concentrated but in spying distance for those with keen eyes. Nearby bushes also obscured them. It was something both of them expected. Whatever the case, it would do.
"Alright!" Anko fished an odd piece of paper from one of her waist-pouches. She held it out to him. "I want you to channel your chakra into this piece of paper."
He raised an eyebrow as he took it into his hand. "Okay, I guess." Concentrating his life energy to his fingers, he directed chakra into the paper, and it split in half. "Huh?"
Anko jumped. "Yes! Your affinity is wind! You have no idea how glad I am it isn't something stupid like water." She held out the palm of her hand. "There are five basic chakra elements: okay fire, shitty water, cool lightning, useful earth, and awesome wind. Everyone has an affinity their chakra is inclined towards, but you can learn how to mold your chakra into other ones with training."
"Cool! What affinity is your chakra?"
"I can mold mine into all but water, so that's irrelevant at this point, but I wanna say fire?" She tilted her head, pulled out another paper, channeled her chakra into it, and watched it burn to cinders. "Yeah, fire."
Naruto began bouncing again. "Am I going to learn that razor wind shuriken thing?!"
"In time." She held out her hand, letting his bouncing pat himself against it. "The Vacuum Blade Jutsu needs a degree of chakra control. First." She grinned and narrowed her eyes. "Strip." She took back her hand when he froze.
"...What?"
"Take off your clothes down to your boxers or whities or whatever the hell you have on. I don't care if you're not wearing anything either."
"O-Okay." Turning red, the boy did as instructed, leaving himself in his orange boxers and forehead protector.
Anko raised a hand to her chin at the graft-like scars all over his slightly toned body. "You fought in that condition with your insides all messed up."
He flexed. "Work through the pain!" He struck a pose. "I'm built different."
She giggled. "But can you walk on water?"
"Oh, that?" Naruto returned to standing straight. "Haven't tried it, but I can climb trees."
"It's a little harder. Try walking on that lake over there."
"...Aww." He deflated, realizing why he was nearly naked.
She patted him on the head. "I was given specific instructions: protect you from Orochimaru, teach you in Kakashi's place, and defend your virginity at all costs."
"Aww!"
"I'm sorry; you're gonna have to wait for that Hyuga girl to grow up to get anything." Anko snickered.
Naruto walked out of her grasp towards the body of water and shook his head. "Why does everyone think Hinata and I are a thing?!"
"Maybe because you jumped in to save her and tried so hard to beat the shit out of the other Hyuga?"
"That was because of a completely other thing!" He channeled chakra to his feet and set one on the water. "A little different from tree-climbing."
"You cried her name out and stopped when she cried out yours before you killed that Inuzuka kid."
He stepped into the center of the lake and shifted his weight around, getting a feeling for the odd false ground he stood on. "I… was in a shitty place, and she dragged me out of it." He looked at his previously-broken hand she bandaged years ago and the one she bandaged before the start of the first test. "Stopping me from taking my shit out on Kiba was her helping me really: I could barely stand by the end of that fight."
Anko tilted her head. "Where did you learn that timing thing anyway?"
"Fighting Sasuke." Naruto jumped and splashed water around him without sinking. "That Sharingan of his makes landing attacks hard, so I attacked when he blinked. Kiba's nothing compared to him. Even Lee." He frowned. "All of that strength and speed without the head to use it."
"'Precision, timing, and instincts,'" she quoted.
He walked back to her. "Zabuza was stronger than Kakashi, but Kakashi handed him his ass when he didn't have to worry about us. Skill is better than ability. It's best to have both though." He blushed as she pet him. "What now?"
"I guess I'll teach you the Vacuum Blade Jutsu.
"Can you teach me the exploding clone thing first?
Anko grimaced. "About that, you do know how the Shadow Clone Jutsu works, right?"
"It splits your chakra evenly between you and as many clones you make," Naruto answered.
"Yeah. You know how the clone I made exploded? What do you think caused that?"
"Chakra?"
"Half of what I had left, to be specific. I got, like, 10-15% back." She laughed. "You know how you can make nearly two hundred and not feel the slightest bit woozy?" She almost sweated at the casual nod. "Do you have any idea what kind of explosion a single clone you poof up will make?"
"...Holy shit, I'm a walking ball of paper bombs."
The smile on his face made her feel immense fear. "I'm not sure if I should teach you it, but if I ever do, please have a clone's clone's clone be the one that sets itself off because you'll probably just end up killing yourself otherwise."
"Aww."
"It's okay." She cooed and held him close, easing herself and his growing disappointment. "Anko knows best and wants you to live, so you can become a flee-on-sight-level hottie."
"Those are a thing?"
She caressed his blushing face and tilted his head up to examine the resemblance. "Yes." Stepping back, she drew some shuriken from one of her pouches. "The Vacuum Blade doesn't need hand signs, but it needs you to infuse ninja tools with wind chakra." Infusing her breath with it was a reflex at that point. She held a shuriken up and blew over it, making the sharpened metal glow. "You just need to get the ratio right or it won't form correctly or vanish too soon." A flick of her hand sent the vacuum shuriken flying into the air.
"Wow!" Naruto stared as the glow expanded from the shuriken, turning it into a wind saw with a metal core.
"Yup!" She handed him one. "Simple, deadly, and efficient. Best kind of jutsu."
He took a deep breath, focused his chakra into his mouth, exhaled on to the shuriken, and threw it. A frown formed on his lips as it sent a gust of wind everywhere rather than forming blades. "Damn."
"It's going to take you a while. When you throw your shuriken or kunai, relax your arms. Think of them like whips. You're not trying to stab your opponent from afar: you're going to go through them. Go taut with the release." She handed over another.
"Thanks." He infused the shuriken with chakra and threw it with better technique yet with too little wind to create the blades. A part of him was grateful he made sure to bring extra ninja tools with him every time after the fight with Zabuza.
Hours of tries passed. Naruto began making clones to retrieve all the failed shuriken he threw not far into it. Jiraiya never dropped in, preferring to peep at their neighbors. Anko pointed out whenever his technique was short, gave him advice on how to better himself, and created a clone to fetch dango for them. He insisted on Ichiraku, but she was having none of it: take-out ramen was just wrong in her eyes.
The sun was starting to set when he finally threw a proper vacuum shuriken through several trees. "Yes!" He jumped with a pump of his fist. "Holy shit!" Turning back, he saw his new teacher applaud him. "I actually did it!"
"I'm surprised you're not chakra exhausted by this point." Anko giggled as he ran over to her, a bounce to his step. "Still, you should throw another to see if you have it." She flinched at the fallen trees. "Just aim fo–" Another vacuum shuriken sawing through the trees behind the ones already cut down stopped her. "Save something for the loggers."
"Sorry!" Naruto raised a hand to rub the back of his head. "I just...feel so excited right now!" He jumped up and hugged her. "I haven't learned a new jutsu since graduation day!"
Blushing, she hugged him back. "Kakashi been holding out on you?"
"'Basics and fundamentals will get you farther than spitting fire and shooting lightning,'" he mocked. He let go and shook his head. "I get what he meant, but I'm missing something. Genjutsu needs super good chakra control, and I don't have it. The only ninjutsu I had was making clones, which go away in one hit. Good for grappling setups but not much else."
"Well, you can use the Vacuum Blade Jutsu now." She patted him on the head. "Keep practicing with it but be careful what you throw your shuriken at. To truly master a jutsu, you have to be capable of using it by expending the most efficient amount of chakra. I know you have reserves for days, but it's still important you conserve and better yourself."
"Yes, Anko-sensei!"
Stepping back, she began rubbing the back of her own head. "Stop, stop! Just Anko." A warm laugh left her lips. "So formal, especially after what we did; what happened to the rabid punk back in the preliminaries?"
Naruto smirked. "I was just being a stupid asshole. Tired of being that guy. I want to be happy."
"That is...way too fucking cute. You want me to show you how to do one more jutsu before the end of the day?"
He nodded, face reddening in embarrassment. "I would like that very much."
"It might seem kind of redundant when you know the Vacuum Blade Jutsu, but this has two different forms." She made the shadow clone sign and another her walked more than enough distance away. Picking up one of the ninja tools from the pile, she threw it at her. Her clone went through five seals and clapped her hands together. She did the same slightly later. The shuriken was blown back at her by a gust of wind and she corrected its course by directing hers through an extended palm, poofing the clone. "The Gale Palm Jutsu can launch ninja tools faster, away from you, and veer away fireballs if you keep your hands closed." She showed him her palm. "If you shoot it from your palm, you can insulate blasts of lightning with the right timing, blast fire back and greater at your enemy if your wind's powerful enough, also knock or launch ninja tools yet with less effected area, or just knock your opponent back."
"That's awesome!"
Anko tilted her head from side-to-side. "Still needs six hand seals. I can pull it off with four."
"How come it takes you four?"
"Experience with it and chakra control. It needed hand seals, so I just relied on the Vacuum Blade Jutsu instead for my ninja tool appliances. If you learned some fire jutsu, you could create an even bigger fireball with a clone using it alongside your gale palm."
"Cool!" Naruto blinked and blushed. "Can you show me the hand signs again? I forgot."
"Snake, ram, boar, horse, bird, and clap. Like how you focused chakra into your breath, you should focus on concentrating it in your palms." She went through the hand seals again slowly for him to see, creating another gust.
"Got it! Snake, ram, boar, horse, bird, and clap," he whispered the sequence to himself and let his academy muscle memory of going through the seals do the rest. The gust that emerged from his palms was fierce yet wild, creating an uneven wind.
"That also might take some time."
"Same time as the Vacuum Blade?"
She shrugged. "That's up to you. Learning new jutsu is actually pretty easy. Mastering and knowing when to use them is hard. There are some people that can use jutsu requiring a dozen hand signs with just one or none at all. And, right now, all you can use is wind jutsu. Learning how to mold your chakra into other elements aside from your affinity takes a lot of work too, granted it varies from person to person."
"You can use four out of five." Naruto started jumping again. "Can you teach me how to use fire for combinations?!"
"I'd recommend getting a feeling for wind jutsu before you try hopping on to another element you don't even know how to use yet." Anko almost cooed at his broken dreams. "Fire alone is okay at best: they cause terrain damage, can annihilate an enemy if you can actually get a hit with the big ones, and look pretty enough. Except they cost a lot of chakra, require some preparations so you can land a hit, and there's a perfectly good element right beneath our feet, not even strong against it, that can be used as a shield."
"Seems kind of unfair."
"Welcome to life. I'm not saying all fire jutsu are bad. Just most of its situational at best. All jutsu are, really, but fire jutsu especially."
"Then what's wrong with water?"
She scoffed. "What isn't wrong with it? Chakra out the wazoo when used away from a natural source, to use them without water you need to be skilled with it already, and you need a good level of chakra control to use the good shit, which you could match with the basic Vacuum Blade that took you a quarter of the day to learn. A master of any element is a threat, but that doesn't make having the worst limitations of any element better."
"So wind really is awesome huh?" He went through the hand seals and created a weaker, albeit wider, gust of wind.
"It's the rarest of the elements for a reason. You, me, Kakashi, Old Man Hokage, and even that disgusting Orochimaru are beyond the peons who lack it. Be grateful you were born with it as your affinity alongside the fuck tons of chakra you have."
Another failed gale palm couldn't stop him from laughing at her facetiousness. "I appreciate it, but I won't let myself get tied down by that kind of thing. Is what it is."
"Look at you all zen and shit." She giggled.
"I'm happy; I feel at peace with things."
"Ah, I remember what that feeling was like." Anko frowned. "It's hard keeping it and a lot easier to lose than it might seem." Her eyes were warm and tone caring. "Just try to remember it if things start to change."
He nodded, a failed gale blowing his hair around. "I understand. It hurts a lot when you lose something after struggling for so long to get it." His eyes narrowed. "One wrong move, and I'll be back to my old self."
She parted her lips to give assuring words but couldn't argue nor affirm his. They really were more alike than she thought. It was a good thing Kakashi wasn't around to ever use that against her. Jiraiya was too distracted with the women playing in the waterfall nearby to hear anything.
A few more hours passed and it was dark. Naruto was back in his clothes, still practicing the Gale Palm Jutsu. Jiraiya and Anko were staring at him in wonder of his stamina with half-lidded eyes. It seemed as if the kid had more chakra than the both of them combined. He'd grow into an absolute ninjutsu demon with proper guidance. Orochimaru's interest in him was well warranted.
"It's getting late." Anko whined as she stood up. "Let's go home."
Naruto stopped at his latest failure. "Aren't you supposed to guard me?"
"Who's home do you think we're going to?"
"...Mine?"
She pointed at herself. "Guess again."
"Oh, Anko, I never knew you liked me like that." Jiraiya yawned. "Sorry but I prefer admiring you from afar. I'm fine sleeping next to you though."
"You get the couch." She started walking.
"And what do I get?" Naruto asked, following.
"The bed, my guest of honor."
He smiled. "Then where are you sleeping?"
"Next to you." She held him to her side with one arm. "Those whisker marks make you look very cuddly."
"Lucky bastard," Jiraiya spat.
They made their way to the Mitarishi Residence, a sparsely decorated small apartment on the outskirts of the village. The Sannin jumped on to the couch and nodded off in a manner of seconds. Anko led Naruto to her room, the only one, and got settled next to him on the bed after throwing off her coat, to his immense pleasure.
"Is this place really yours?" Naruto whispered.
Anko nodded, eyes closed. "I… hang out in the village most of the time." Her arms held him close. "You're very warm."
He almost laughed. "So are you."
"...You can hold me too, you know."
"O-Okay." Arms shaking, he coiled them around her. "Are you really tired?"
Nodding again, she yawned. "That fire you have is something… I don't anymore." She nuzzled against his cheek.
He raised an eyebrow at the three comma marks on her neck but stopped himself from saying anything when he realized she was asleep. Closing his eyes, he actually managed to make himself join her. The warmth he felt from her body made it easy. It was the first time someone held him while he slept. Tears ran down his face sometime during the night.
They'd remember that day forever.
AN: It felt really nice to write this after several chapters of nonstop action. Kind of like writing the breather chapter between Wave and the start of the Chunin Exams again. Broke my daily updating streak, but it was inevitable.
I actually really like the mechanics of ninjutsu, genjutsu, and how hand signs/seals factor into things. Suppose that's predictable with my focus on specific actions or descriptions of them in fight scenes. A bit info dumpy this chapter, but it was inevitable if I was going to change what kind of training Naruto was going through.
Feel free to leave your thoughts in the form of a review or PM.
