Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

This is a hospital. Keep it down.

Boy, am I glad to see you. I gotta ask you a favor.

Stop right there. I already know what you're going to ask.

So I've been looking for someone that can oversee your training for the final

rounds. Hold on!

Why can't you train me, Sensei?

I have other matters to handle. I don't have time to deal with you, Naruto.

Hey!

Aha!

You're going to train Sasuke, aren't you, Kakashi Sensei?

Now, now, don't complain.

Listen, I found you an even better teacher than me.

Well, who is it? It is I.

What did you call him?

You're kidding me! Of all the guys you could have picked, you picked this guy

train me? What a joke! He's weaker than I am!

What makes you say that?

Oh, it's nothing. Just a little joke we shared.

I'll make you a deal. Keep quiet about that and I'll buy you anything you want

to eat.

Barbecue, ramen, you name it.

Anything I want?

Well, well, I had no idea you two were acquainted.

Yes, we go way back.

I will always be haunted by that humiliation.

I still don't get why it has to be him.

If it hadn't been for Kakashi who asked me this favor, I would never consider

training you. Yeah? Well, then don't! Hey, hey, come on, you two. Let's calm

down.

Listen, Naruto, you're wrong about Ebisu -sensei. He's a special Jonin, a

private tutor who only trains the elite.

Frankly, he's a better teacher than I am.

Anyway, Naruto, I've got to say that of the three genin in Squad 7, you're the

one whose basic skills need the most work.

That's what I want you to focus on this time around.

Wait, hold on a second! Are you honestly saying that I'm not as good as Sasuke

or Sakura?

Naruto,

no matter how many skills you master, the fundamentals are, well, fundamental.

And yours could be improved.

So if you really want to become strong, then just be quiet and pay attention.

All right, Ebisu -sensei. I leave him in your capable hands.

I'll do what I can.

I know it seems harsh, but trust me. It's for your own good.

Just do your best.

Well, come on. Let's get started.

Okay, but I don't buy it. Huh?

This whole thing is totally nuts!

Even if I do need to work on my fundamentals, how the heck are they

get better when I've got a teacher who's weaker at this stuff than I am? I beg

your pardon, but who do you think you're calling weak?

Who do you think? Who else is standing here?

If this is all because of that ridiculous and inappropriate jutsu of

took me by surprise, that's all.

I wouldn't be too hasty to judge my abilities based on one incident a long

ago. Just cause you ended up flat on your back and now cold!

Alright then.

Let's put it to a test, shall we?

Hmm?

Naruto, try and run away.

Hmm?

I mean it. I want you to try running as fast as you can.

If you can get away from me, I'll resign as your trainer.

Is that a promise?

Certainly, and what's more, since I know how much you prefer Kakashi, I think I

can arrange to take over enough of his other duties so that he can be your

trainer. Yeah?

Really? Of course, and at least Joni never goes back on his word.

But it's all contingent on you being able to outrun me.

Man, this is the easiest deal I've ever made!

So long, sucker!

best you can do. We might as well stop right now and save us both sometime.

Control yourself, Ebisu.

There he goes again. Can't keep his eyes off the girl.

Just what do you think you're doing Naruto?

It was a good idea actually just not good enough Again

not

bad

However, you're not the only one who can perform the Shadow Clone Jutsu, my

friend.

You can't get away!

That one down.

Had enough?

Man,

you're a real pain, you know that? Why can't you just go away and leave me

alone? It wouldn't be much of a chase if I did that. I'm supposed to be trying

to catch you, remember?

He's got a point.

So, Naruto, I hope you have a better opinion of my abilities now.

If you've had enough, let's begin your training. Yeah, right. Stick it in

your...

I'm still gonna get rid of you somehow.

Kakashi is the only one I'll let train me.

Either he trains me or no one does!

I see the river hasn't cooled off your spirit.

Look at him. He's turned the tables.

Instead of trying to escape, he's coming right at me.

Well, Kakashi always said he was an unpredictable knuckle -headed ninja.

Sorry, Naruto.

This game is over.

One plain ramen and one miso ramen with barbecue

pork.

There you go.

Now, Naruto, having had a chance to observe your technique first half, and

off what Kakashi has told me... It's clear to me that one of your weakest

is chakra control.

Hmm? Chakra control?

Exactly. When we compare your abilities in this department with those of your

teammates, Sakura and Sasuke, your deficiency becomes obvious.

As you may know, in order to successfully perform ninjutsu, genjutsu,

like, a ninja must first build up his chakra.

Yeah, like you said. I already know that.

I would hope so.

Well then, Let's compare you to your teammates in this department, and

you'll begin to see just how inferior your abilities really are.

You've got an annoying way of putting things.

As agreed, I'm buying you lunch, so just be quiet and listen.

First, let's examine how Sakura prepares for a clone jutsu.

She's perfect at building up her chakra to its full extent. And because she's so

efficient, she can make clones without wasting any excess energy.

As for Sasuke, it must be said he's not nearly as efficient when it comes to

building up a full supply of chakra.

But you see, his control over the chakra itself

is so flawless.

that he has no problem producing five clones as easily as Sakura can.

So the result is the same, even if Sasuke does waste more chakra in getting

there. What do you know? And I thought Sasuke was perfect in everything.

Wipe that smile off your face. You are in no position to make fun of anyone

else. Why?

You're no good at building up your chakra or controlling it. The result

you require much more chakra to produce any clone.

What the...

You have to exert much more effort. And even then, after all the effort, and

after wasting much more chakra than either Sakura or Sasuke... Clone jutsu!

You can barely produce two clones at best.

In fact, using the same amount of chakra you use, Sakura and Sasuke could come

up with ten clones.

You see how the three of you have very different levels of ability just on this

one jutsu.

Oh, well, I may have been exaggerating a bit in my comparison, but the bottom

line is, you waste too much of your strength, Naruto, and build up too much

chakra. You need to learn some control, that's all.

Yeah, well, if I'm such a lame -o, how come there have been times when I've

better than they have? That's not the same thing. That's only because you have

reserves of energy and stamina that are hardly even human.

After all, how can I expect him to have control when he has the nine -tailed fox

spirit's chakra sealed within him?

The point is, we both know you're strong, Naruto, but you could be so much

stronger if you'd let me show you how.

Really? You mean it? I not only mean it, I guarantee it. Now if you're ready,

let's begin.

Sir, your bill. Oh, I forgot.

Naruto!

Thank you. Come again.

Okay, you mind explaining why you've dragged me up here to these hot springs?

Is the bath part of my training?

Not that I'd mind soaking my feet after that hike. Naruto!

Where do you think you're going?

That's the women's bath.

I will not allow any disreputable behavior, young man.

Disreputable behavior?

What's he talking about?

Like I was trying to sneak a peek?

From what I know about him, he's the real pervert around here.

What is it? What's that look?

Oh, nothing, nothing.

Anyway, what in the world are we doing here? Are you going to train me how to

wash behind my ears?

Not quite.

But you're right. It is part of your training.

Hmm?

Right here. This is the place.

A bath?

Okay, what's going on?

Don't take that tone with me. Like I told you before, this is all part of

training. Okay, maybe you ought to try taking it from the top. What am I

training for again?

I'm going to teach you how to walk on water.

What is it now?

Do you seriously expect me to believe that you really know how to walk on

Of course I do!

According to what Kakashi told me, you've already been trained in how to

tree without using your hands, right?

This is a variation of that.

I don't know.

That was a long time ago. I'm not so good at remembering stuff that far back.

Well, in tree climbing, the key is to build a chakra in the points of contact

and then to maintain it at a steady rate of discharge.

Of course, trees are stationary objects, so the discharge rate remains constant.

All the same, it's an excellent exercise for developing basic chakra control.

Now, to walk on water, you not only have to build a chakra at the points of

contact, you must also constantly adjust the rate of discharge in order to

maintain your balance on the water's shifting surface.

This is obviously more difficult than just maintaining a fixed flow of chakra.

But that's what chakra control is all about, being able to discharge it at a

steady or at a varying rate, if you understand.

I wish I did.

Well, perhaps it would be easier if I just showed you.

First, build up chakra in the soles of your feet.

Then, carefully calibrating the amount you discharge from each foot in order to

maintain your balance.

There, you see?

That's how it's done.

Cool!

Okay, let me give it a try now.

First, build up chakra in your feet.

And then, calibrating the whatever it is, go!

Not quite.

Oh,

by the way, don't forget it's a hot spring.

You don't want to keep falling in like that.

You'll be boiled like a lobster.

Very funny.

I can do this!

I got it now!

Hot,

hot, hot!

Well, you seem unusually diligent today, Konohamaru.

Excellent. It looks like my guidance is finally paying off.

Isn't it about time you were launching another surprise attack against Lord

Hokage?

Nah, I don't do that kind of thing anymore.

That's astounding!

Well, I'm very glad to hear it. So you understand that the shortcut to becoming

Hokage is to do exactly as I say.

Well, there aren't any shortcuts here.

Huh?

Naruto told me that.

He said I had to learn that.

If I ever wanted to be Hokage.

I'm actually starting to get this.

Incredible. He's right. To think that he's already started to master it.

I never imagined that he would have come so far.

Indeed, there are no shortcuts in anything.

Perhaps you were a better teacher to Konohamaru than I was.

I was wrong about you, Naruto.

There is more within you than a demon spirit.

There is the heart of a splendid Hidden Leaf Village ninja.

Hmm.

Are you peeking in the women's bath, old man?

I will not allow any disreputable behavior!

Oh, please.

Huh? What on earth?

What are you doing?

What's wrong with you?

Keep it down.

Do you want to get us busted, you idiot?

Who is this guy? He flattened my trainer.

And what's worse, he's an even bigger perv than Ebisu.

He he he he he he he he

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

See you next time.

just have to train on him only thing is i wish he wasn't quite so fast or strong

what is this guy a super ninja next time long time no see jiraiya returns oh

brother again with the girls
