A New Friend

It's been few weeks since Naruto returned to Fairy Tail after his one and half month long job requests.

He is enjoying himself by taking rest and then some. He checked upon Sirius after he met with the old man and ensured everything is alright.

His precious son seemed to have learned a thing or two from his match with Gray and Naruto was proud of it. He decided to train him more to make him more prepared.

After Sirius woke up from his day and half-sleep, fully recuperated, Naruto took him on a walk.

"I am saying this for the umpteenth time, that form puts so much pressure on your body. Don't push yourself like that, Siri." Said Naruto.

"But I want to be useful, Tou-san. You know well how useless I was when you fought all those monsters on our jobs."

"But you killed Aero, Siri. Isn't that good enough for you?" Asked Naruto surprised. He didn't know his son had this much drive to help him.

"Maybe. But I want to go on a job on my own and prove myself." Said Sirius, confessing his true desire for the first time.

"I want to prove to you that all your training wasn't wasted and to the world myself." Said Sirius with a serious look, but his cute face spoiled it.

"Ok, Siri. How about this, we will test you for some time after completing this training. You do the main part while I oversee you. Is that agreeable?" Asked Naruto.

"Yatta. Yatta. Dattebayo." Bounced Sirius with happiness. Naruto's adoption of this world's language has managed to minimise his verbal tic, while Sirius adopted it from his father.

Naruto rarely uses it these days as 'believe it' doesn't have the same ring as 'dattebayo' for him. Sirius doesn't care about that.

"Let's train." Said Sirius as they reached an empty area in the mountains around Magnolia.

"Tell me what you learned from your spar with Gray?" Asked Naruto.

"I'm sure I have abysmal water control as the ice guy managed to use it to his advantage and I think I relied too much upon my air combat instead of taijutsu and he managed to trick me as well." Confessed Sirius.

"Acknowledging your weakness is also a part of your training, Siri." Said Naruto with a smile and gave a menacing look to Sirius.

"Now, we'll work on your water control and Taijutsu. You're good at Kenjutsu and we'll try Genjutsu later." Said Naruto and Sirius nodded at that.

'I don't know if the old gramps sage has given you any Dōjutsu yet,' Naruto thought. He didn't investigate what Hagoromo had given to Sirius that deeply.

After all, Aldoron found out about the significance and power of Naruto's necklace when he dove deeper into the blonde's consciousness.

Naruto didn't do that to Sirius as he is a young child. He might do it in a few years though.

"First we'll work on your water style. I want you to improve your control on it. As you did with Wind and Lightning, we are going to do the second level water element control exercise, which is reversing a waterfall." said Naruto with an evil smile.

"Water Style: Waterfall Jutsu," said Naruto and created a large waterfall in the clearing. It is 10 meters tall and 5 meters wide.

"First, start with this and we'll increase it as time goes," Naruto said and Sirius mumbled something incoherent and went to the base of the waterfall to reverse it.

He used what his father regularly uses and made 4 Shadow Clones. 5 of them started to do the exercise.

Naruto sat on a tree and enjoyed it happily. 'Ah, the satisfaction of making your child work' he thought and relaxed there.
