Naruto had to raise his eyebrows at that. The differences between the various CP costs of the three Chakra Nagashi were fairly obvious. He had the greatest affinity for wind chakra, so the cost was the least, with earth chakra second because he had worked hard at it. Neutral chakra couldn't be worked on, so it had what he assumed was the basic cost.
Still, the effects of all three were useful. He would have to think about something to use for the Doton Chakra Nagashi. A collapsible baton made of chakra metal, maybe?
Shaking his head, he looked at the other windows.

Hitting the 'Y' button, Naruto catalogued everything that had to be done and in what order. Most of the preliminary stuff had already been filed by his Jiji, so all he had to do was inform the water and power companies that he would be ramping up the consumption of their respective resource.
Making two Shadow Clones, he sent one to each company before he made another couple to go over the Asuma's chosen apartment with a fine toothcomb and make repairs as and when required.
Settling down again, he realised that Sakura was going to be over soon for her taijutsu practice. This was the pinkette girl's least favourite thing to do, but she did keep her word, so she came nevertheless.
One thing that had changed was that Sakura's tutoring sessions had ceased adding anything to his INT or WIS except at very long intervals. Checking the mission in the quest log, he discovered that it had updated itself, saying that he now required fifteen tutoring sessions with Sakura in order to get +1 WIS and +1 INT, although the amount needed to improve his relationship had decreased from five sessions to three.
Naruto guessed that the amount that his INT and WIS had risen by had prompted whatever being that governed his [Gamer] ability to balance it out. The higher your stats are, the harder it is to improve them.
Sakura, on the other hand, was finding it hard going with regard to her training. She was getting training from the Academy, training from Naruto AND training from her father. She was very much exhausted.
He had been sneaking looks at her stats and she had only gained a single point in STR and STA in the last month and a few days, which was slightly worrying for his [Growing a Cherry Blossom] quest.
When Sakura arrived, he asked her exactly what exercises she did other than sparring.
"Callisthenics." Sakura replied, "You know…sit ups, push ups, star jumps…that sort of thing."
"You should try jogging." Naruto suggested, "Shinobi do a lot of that, so it would be useful to get into the swing of things."
His pink-haired training partner sighed at that, but was unable to refute it.
Over the next couple of hours, Naruto helped Sakura alter the Hakage Style she had been taught so it suited her body. Stances and kata had to be changed and then Sakura had to experiment with the various punches, kick, blocks and the like so she could use them effectively.
After all of that, she would spar with Naruto, who didn't pull any punches in regards to his speed. He was way faster than Ino was, if not quite as acrobatic, so if Sakura got used to his level of speed, she'd be able to deal with Ino more easily.
Or so he hoped anyway.
"Damn." Sakura said mildly as she got up again after being knocked back onto her butt again, "I'm not getting any better at this."
"Considering you've only been at this for just over a month, you're doing very well." Naruto assured her.
"Why haven't you ever won any spars if you're this good at taijutsu?" Sakura asked with a frown.
"Because almost every single time, I've been up against Sasuke." Naruto replied, "He's a teme, but he is very good at hand-to-hand combat. Just about the only thing he's better at is ninjutsu."
"How can you tell?" Sakura asked in confusion.
"See how he wears his clan symbol on his back?" Naruto asked, "According to Iruka-sensei, only adult Uchiha are allowed to wear their Clan symbol on their back like that, meaning they have to be able to use Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu)."
"Sasuke-kun can use a C-Rank Elemental Jutsu?!" the pinkette yelped in shock.
"From what I can remember, he started wearing it just before the Uchiha Massacre." Naruto continued, "So that means he's been able to use it for six years or thereabouts."
"He used it at SIX?!" Sakura gawked.
"He has talent. Shame Itachi screwed his head up." Naruto said with a shrug.
"That's a bit cold, Naruto." Sakura said with a frown, "He had his entire Clan massacred by his own brother. Anyone would be screwed in the head after that."
"I know." Naruto sighed. He really didn't want to talk about the Teme. "It's just…other people have had difficult lives as well, you know? And they haven't cut themselves off from all human contact."
Sakura nodded slowly. "I get your meaning, but cut him a little slack, OK?"
"Because it's you asking, I'll try." Naruto sighed, "Now, have you thought about your genin outfit?"
"Ummm…not really." Sakura replied, "Isn't what I have good enough?"
