Looking at the blueprint of Sakura's new seal. He looked at her weirdly. 'How'd she come up with that? This looks just like Tsunade-baachan's seal on her forehead… though a toned down version of it…'

Sakura asked in concern as to why Naruto was looking at her that way, "Hm? What's wrong?"

Naruto chuckled and replied playfully "Nothing~ Looks good."

"Yay!" Sakura cheered in happiness getting Naruto's approval although there was a hint of playfulness in his voice.

Naruto smiled and said "Alright, you don't need to show it to me next time you invent something. You've graduated."

"Eh… But I still need hel…"

Naruto shook his head and explained "Only a beginner needs guidance, you've already reached expert level. If an expert is guided, he will follow the teachings of the teacher meaning he will not be able to walk his own path. Do you get what I mean?"

Sakura, a bit depressed, reluctantly replied "I know… but still…"

Naruto laughed lightly and patted Sakura in the head "It'll all be fine, I also have my training to do. So where'd you last see Sasuke?"

Sakura nodded and replied as she pointed in the direction "Over there…" then sighed as she noticed Naruto was already gone "Why even ask if you're just gonna teleport to his [Flying Thunder God Seal] anyway?"

Sakura decided to forget about it and visit Kakashi. He was in the hospital, he supposedly encountered an incredibly strong opponent and fell to his genjutsu… How strong was the opponent for Kakashi-sensei to be bedridden?

Siu!

Naruto appeared behind Sasuke without him noticing, he didn't speak, and just watched.

Sasuke stood straight with his eyes closed, thunder coursed through his body like it was a part of his body. From the toes of his feet, it traveled slowly but surely throughout his body like the flow of chakra.

Making Naruto smile in thought 'No wonder, Sakura felt that Sasuke was less cold, after his encounter with his brother he's mellowed down a bit more but now that he was training like this… it was akin to meditation. His mental strength has gotten better. But… should I tell him about what I found out about Itachi from the root?'

Naruto concealed his presence but then stepped on a leaf.

Crach!

"Who's there?!" Sasuke felt threatened by the sudden sound and sent a lightning strike to Naruto.

Chcihcihichi!

Naruto sighed "Good grief…" and used Wind Sage Chakra to receive the lightning strike and return it to Sasuke like an airbender.(A/N: Gahahah!)

Sasuke merely dodged out of the way, seeing it was Naruto. "What do you want?" He asked.

Naruto complained "Can't you react like a normal person? Why attack?"

Sasuke snorted in reply, "It's not like you came here like a normal person, you hid your presence."

Naruto chuckled and nodded "Indeed. I got what I deserved. Just wanted to see how your training was going and to warn you."

"Hm? Warn me?" Sasuke asked to know what the warning was about.

Naruto nodded and explained "Orochimaru will come for you, it might be him or his subordinates that will come for you. He wants your body."

"My body?" Sasuke asked in disgust.

Naruto chuckled and explained "He wants your body as a vessel, as you know from Kakashi-sensei, he can't fully utilize the sharingan as his body is not an Uchiha. With your body, he can."

Sasuke thought about it and nodded. He minded his own business, and didn't pay any further attention to Naruto and continued his training.

Naruto also left to continue training.

As usual, he made 3 clones.

This time, he and his clones compressed two rasengans at once to its tiniest compression.

Naruto's chakra is basically sage chakra so these two rasengans contain 'Wind Sage Chakra' that is stronger than 'Wind Chakra Nature.'

Each of these rasengans are strong enough to rival an S-rank jutsu despite it only having the chakra amount of 1 Chuunin.

(A/N: This is correct? Probably? But Considering how much Naruto spams it in canon it's more likely that it only contains 1 Genin chakra… ahh… It's confusing. Remember? When Kakashi said, Naruto's chakra is 4 times more than his? It's only 4 times more than his canon? Kakashi's chakra at that time was only at the level of a Jounin because of the sharingan.)

This is why chakra control is extremely important. With extreme chakra control, shape manipulation is possible and shape manipulation maximizes the strength of the chakra used.

Naruto even took shape manipulation to the extreme level!

Naruto sweated as he smirked under pressure, it was barely manageable and one single mistake… it will cause a huge explosion but… it has to be done, he will achieve the 5 elemental sage mode!

6 hours later…

Naruto was still holding in the two rasengans at the fingertips of his hands. This time, in a much more relaxed manner…

He undid his clones 6 times while he held the rasengans for an hour each time. Meaning that his experience has quadrupled. 24 times more experience if he had done it alone.

It was enough for him to improve by leaps and bounds.

He dispersed the chakra in his fingertips and his stomach grumbled seeing the sun set in the sky. "Hm… Time for dinner…"

Naruto used [Flying Thunder God Jutsu] to teleport back home. It was extremely useful, he didn't need to walk or run and immediately reach the place where his markings were.

He arrived, looking forward to dinner only to see a note on the table.

'I didn't know when you would come back so I didn't cook dinner, I went to do a C-rank escort mission on the 5th day of the 9th moon. Eat out for a while, I'll cook for you when I come back.

Love, Haku.'

'5th day of the 9th moon huh? Yesterday? Alright. I'll go out for dinner right now… I guess…' 

Naruto sighed in disappointment but went out to have dinner. 

Strolling down the street nightlights of Konoha, he saw Tsunade. She was reading instead of drinking alcohol. That's new…?

Naruto approached her and asked "Bacchan? What are you doing? Are you sick or something?"

Tsunade, annoyed at Naruto's rude assumption, replied "I went to see Gai's student. The success rate is 50% so I'm studying to increase my chances."

Naruto chuckled and replied "I see… sorry for mocking you, mind if I join you for dinner? My wife is out doing a C-rank escort mission."

Tsunade with a look of disbelief replied "Sure but… you have a wife? At 12 years old?"

Naruto nodded as he sat down in the opposite seat of Tsunade "Yeah, why not?"

And continued "Excuse me! I'd like to order please!"

"Please wait a moment, I'll be right there!" A waitress replied as she was serving another customer. Looks like the shop is a bit understaffed but Naruto didn't mind.

"'Yeah, why not?' you say? Where in the world would you find another one to have a wife at the age of 12? How old is your wife?"

Naruto reached out for Tsunade's Oolong tea and drank it before replying "She's 15."

"3 years older huh… Hey! That's my tea!"

"Don't be stingy! It's just some tea, I'll even treat you to dinner, if you want."

Tsunade just sighed and replied before turning her attention to her books "Do what you want."

Naruto then asked in curiosity "You gonna do a surgery on Lee? Can you even stand the sight of blood?"

Tsunade's face twitched and replied in a depressed tone "That's the thing… I have to get over my fear of blood before I do the surgery."

The waitress approached with a smile "Thank you for waiting. What would you like?"

Naruto smiled in return "I'd like Katsudon please. And some Oolong Tea. I'd also foot the bill of this old witch in front of me."

The waitress chuckled and replied "Sure, I'll be back right away with your order."

Tsunade expressed her annoyance, "Who are you calling an old witch?"

"You? Who else would I call an old witch? You're old enough to be my grandma yet you're looking like you're in your twenties. What are you if you're not a witch?"

"I'm the next hokage you know? Do you think I'd let you off being that rud…"

Naruto didn't even let him finish and said "Nevermind that, you should just get over your fear of blood. What even happened exactly for you to have that?"

"Hah… Are you really 12? You don't speak like one but something did happen."

"I am 12, I'm just more mature. I'm not an old witch like you who pretends to be young."

"Do you wanna listen or not?!" Tsunade's annoyance was reaching its peak and she might get rid of her fear of blood just by beating Naruto half dead.

"Alright, alright. I'll listen!" With a chuckle, Naruto replied.

Tsunade began to sigh and feel sad as she told Naruto her story about her brother and ex lover.

Naruto just nodded and drank tea as she listened in to her story.

"Ahh! That was delicious!"

"Are you even listening?!" Tsunade complained after telling Naruto the story of her fear of blood.

Naruto nodded and replied "Of course, I was listening. Just move on."

Tsunade was on the verge of delivering a heavenly foot of pain down Naruto's face.

Naruto sensed Tsunade's annoyance and continued, "Do you really think they'd be happy with what you're doing right now? For example, you have another loved one like Perverted Sage dying in front of you. You know that you would be able to save him but you have a fear of blood, will you let your fear of blood get in the way?"

"That…" Tsunade was a bit speechless and thought about it. 

'I indeed have to move on or else, I won't be able to save someone important when I really need it.'

"In any case, I'll leave you alone with your thoughts. Bill please!"

Naruto paid Tsunade's bill and even tipped the waitress that made her jump in joy. Naruto merely smiled and replied "No problem."

He went back home, went to bed and slept like a log.
