章 59: Chapter 059
The blond shook his head and banished the thoughts, "Anyway, I think I'll be going to get some rest."
"In that case, there are a few extra rooms for you on the right if you want to take one of them, Tsunami said helpfully.
Naruto gave her a smile, "Thanks."
He left Kakashi's room, moving to one of the ones Tsunami had said was open. As he passed by Inari's room he heard crying. Curious he stopped and channeled some chakra to his ear.
"…Tou-san."
Naruto frowned when he heard Inari's sobbed whispers, sighing he began walking to one of the open rooms again.
(The Next Day…)
The next day Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke followed Kakashi, who was using crutches, outside to begin their training. As they stood in the clearing Kakashi turned around to look at the three.
"Ok, we will now begin our training," He informed them.
"About damn time sensei," Naruto grinned, masking his excitement. "I've been waiting for you to get your sorry ass into gear."
"Ma, no need for such language Naruto," Kakashi said with a sweatdrop. I think Anko's really being a bad influence on him…
"Now, before we begin training I want to talk to you about chakra," Kakashi continued on with his lesson.
"Why even bother asking us that?" Naruto asked. "We already know about chakra."
"Well, since you seem to know it so well, how about you explain what chakra is," Kakashi suggested.
"It's the energy we use to create jutsu." Naruto said in an uncaring manner.
"And?" prompted Kakashi, trying to get more out of the blond.
"And…nope, that's it." Naruto said with an indifferent shrug.
Kakashi sweatdropped again, Definitely a bad influence.
"Right well, I suppose we should just get to training," Kakashi decided it would just be best to get started.
"So what are we going to do?" asked Naruto.
Kakashi gave all of them an eye smile. "You are going to be learning…tree climbing."
Sasuke and Sakura face faulted; meanwhile Naruto resisted the urge to sigh.
"How is climbing a tree supposed to help us get stronger?" Sasuke asked with his perpetual scowl in place.
So he doesn't know tree climbing yet… Naruto thought with a smirk. This should be fun to watch.
"I'm glad you asked Sasuke," Kakashi eye-smiled at his raven haired student. "Aside from the simple fact that you'll be able fight on a vertical surface, tree climbing also helps in your chakra control."
Kakashi crutched his way over to one of the trees in the clearing. Bringing up a hand sign for focus, he channeled chakra to the bottom of his feet. He put one foot on the tree trunk, then his other foot. Soon enough he was walking up the tree, seemingly defying gravity. He stopped when he climbed onto a branch and hung upside down. Looking down he saw Sakura and Sasuke looking shocked, while Naruto looked bored.
Could he already know this exercise? Kakashi asked as he stared at Naruto.
"The feet are considered to be the hardest place to channel chakra to. Therefore if you can master tree climbing, you can master any jutsu, theoretically at least," Kakashi explained.
"Hey sensei, I already know this exercise," Naruto informed them, causing Sasuke's eyes to narrow and Sakura's to widen.
"I see. Well then why don't you show me," Kakashi gestured to a tree on his left.
Naruto shrugged as he walked up to the tree, subconsciously channeling chakra to his feet as he began to defy gravity and climb up. He continued walking until he was a little higher than Kakashi and then like him hung upside down on a branch.
Naruto looked over to Kakashi and gave him a cheeky grin. "See? You may now bask in the greatness that is Uzumaki Naruto."
"Well, it looks like you've got a head start on chakra control," Kakashi figured this must have been one of the many things that Anko decided to teach him. "Very well, since you seem to be so good at it, you can teach it to your teammates."
"WHAT!" Sakura and even Sasuke yelled.
Naruto narrowed his eyes at how his sensei was trying to dump 'his' work on him. "Or how about I leave a Kage Bunshin with them and you help me with something I've been working on."
Kakashi actually look surprised at the suggestion. However, he thought about it for a second before nodding. With his chakra nearly depleted he could not do much more than what he was doing now, but he may be able to give his student some advice.
"Very well, I don't see a problem with that. Though I need to see what you're working on in order to help you."
Nodding his head Naruto released the chakra from his feet and flipped over in air, landing on his feet in a crouch, "That's fine sensei. Kage Bunshin No Jutsu,"
Two clones appeared beside Naruto before bringing themselves over to each of his teammates.
"These clones of Naruto's will help you learn this exercise," Kakashi said as he threw two kunai at the two genin's feet. "Use those kunai to mark your progress; I suggest you start by running."
Nodding to himself he walked back down to the ground as well. "So why don't you show me what you're working on?" He suggested as he looked at his blond student.
Naruto nodded, "Alright, but we should probably go somewhere else, that way we won't be a distraction to the other two." Naruto didn't wait for an answer before he started walking.
After a few seconds Kakashi shrugged, pulling out his book and hobbling along after the blond.
Sasuke watched Naruto go with a seething expression. How! How can the dobe be so much better than me! I've always been the best, an elite member of the Uchiha clan. Yet Naruto knows something I don't! Sasuke looked over at a tree and glared at it, as if hoping it would spontaneously combust. I won't let the dobe beat me!
Picking up a kunai, Sasuke ran at the nearest tree.
When Naruto was sure that he and his sensei were far enough away that the noise he made would not reach his teammates, he turned to his sensei, "There are actually two things I want to work on. The first is I want to start working on my wind manipulation training."
"You're already training in elemental manipulation?" Kakashi's one eye widened in surprise. He had not realized that Naruto was working on something so advanced. "You do know that's a Jonin-level exercise right?"
Naruto nodded, "I know, but I already have several jutsu in my repertoire. I don't think I need anymore, rather, I want to be able to use the jutsu I do know more efficiently."
"That would make sense," Kakashi nodded his head. This kid is so weird, one minute he's acting like Minato-sensei and the next he's reminding me of Kushina-san…
