"Sorry I'm late. I spilled some salt so I had to find a four leaf clover to get lucky again.'

Kakashi's team face faulted at his ridiculous excuse.

"Alright team, Sasuke come with me to train, Naruto go do chakra control or something, and Sakura you can come watch Sasuke if you want."

After issuing his instructions, kakashi walked off with Sasuke, Sakura trailing behind with hearts in her eyes going on about how awesome Sasuke is.

The team had just returned to Konoha from the mission in Wave and Naruto was still upset about Haku dying. He realized that Haku was so strong because he protected his precious person and Naruto wanted to be stronger too in order to protect his precious people, but Kakashi wasnt training him at all. All the lazy bastard did was teach Sasuke teme.

Naruto was pissed off because he wanted to learn stuff so he could beat Sasuke and protect his precious people, but Kakashi wouldnt help him at all. Naruto slumped off to Ichiraku's to get some ramen to cheer himself up mumbling all the way about "emo jerks" and "lazy perverts."

"one bowl of miso ramen and a bowl of beef ramen!" Naruto shouted out to Ayame. After eating 37 bowls in the period of just 4 minutes- an all time new record- Naruto reached for Gama-Chan to pay.

"Shit, Gama-chan isnt in my pocket"

Teuchi told Naruto that he couldn't leave because his tab was to high so he was going to have to wash some dishes to pay off his 37 bowls.

Naruto however, hated cleaning so he summoned a shadow clone to go get gama-chan while he waited at ichiraku's.

After paying off old man ichiraku, naruto realized something-' holy shit, I remember going to get my money when didnt'

"Yatta!" Naruto yelled. "If I learn stuff with kage bunshins I can make a lot of them to learn lots of stuff!"

Naruto was really eager to become the best ninja ever and beat Sasuke-teme. Although Naruto hated reading, he quickly ran to the library. After entering the Shinobi-only section, he summoned 20 shadow clones. He had 15 of them go read scrolls on nin-jutsus and take notes, 2 to do the same for chakra control, 2 did the same for tai-jutsu, and he himself and the last clone read up on some weapon techniques. Four hours later, all his clones had finished reading and taking notes on their scrolls. Naruto dispersed all his clones at once and quickly got a headache from learning to much at once. Naruto had learnt from one of the tai-jutsu scrolls that he should wear weights and he decided that the coolest weapons from the weapon scrolls were katanas and nun-chakus. After getting his new gear, Naruto went home and quickly collapsed from tiredness and information overload.

The next day, after a very healthy breakfast of instant ramen, Naruto ran to a training field he quickly summoned 300 clones and sent 20 clones off to work on tree-climbing , and 20 clones off to figure out how to walk on water. He had 15 clones work on katas with his katana and another 15 work on using the nunchakus. He also had 30 clones go off and work on tai-jutsu katas. He then has groups of 13 clones each working on his 12 new jutsus. He himself quickly strapped on his weights and began slowly running laps around the field to get used to the weights. After training for three hours, Naruto quickly dispersed his clones in groups of five, that was the msot he could take without getting a huge headache. After they were all dispersed, Naruto found that he could go all the way up a tree no problem, could stand and walk on water, could do 5 of the 12 jutsus, and new come awesome new tai-jutsu and weapong moves. Naruto ran off so that he could make it to his team meeting at 12 on time. Although he doubted it would matter- Kakashi was always late anyway and after he showed up he'd probably just want to train Sasuke.

After scarfing down 15 bowls of ramen, Naruto raced to the meeting, barely making it there in time because he still wasn't completely used to his weights. Two hours later, Kakashi finally showed up and mumbled some stupid excuse to his team about having to help a convention of old ladies carry their groceries home. After their daily d-rank, Kakashi went off to train Sasuke. Naruto eagerly jumped in front of Sakura.

"Neh, Sakura chan! Wanna go on a date with me?"

"No way dobe! Sasuke kun is so much cooler and stronger than you" And with that rejection Sakura ran after Sasuke to watch him train.

'Stronger?' Naruto thought to himself. 'I'll show them, I'm going to be the strongest ninja ever!' Naruto rushed back to train some more, but this time he summoned another 20 clones to go to the library and read up on some more katas and jutsus with instructions to disperse themselves as soon as they finished reading their scrolls.

Naruto practiced late into the night, he and his clones training to exhaustion. At eleven, he passed out falling asleep on the training ground. He himself had become completely used to his weights and had done physical training and laps for hours. His clones had worked on the tree exercise and water exercise until they could spar while on either surface no problem. And he was now the proud master of 15 Jutsus besides for the academy three and kage bunshin. This became Naruto's routine, day in and day out, clones learning jutsus and katas while he physicly trained, and missions with his team and worthless sensei.
