A re-write of my original story. After the events of the Wave, Naruto realizes that he must improve as a shinobi. With Kakashi's help, he sets out to accomplish just that. With a scroll from the founder of Ninjutsu, a fox who mildly respects him and surprising encouragement from Ino, Naruto might just becaome the strongest shinobi of the Leaf, worthy of the Fourth's legacy.
