Nodding, the blond boy opened his leg holster, pulled out a kunai by the ring and tossed it to his test-clone. The clone reluctantly placed the weapon on top of the scroll and pressed one finger to the array. In a puff of chakra smoke, the dagger-like weapon vanished and the kanji for kunai (苦無) appeared in the centre of the scroll.

"Next." the clone muttered as he pulsed chakra into the array again, unsealing the kunai in another puff of smoke. After repeating the experiment a couple more times for good measure, the frazzled clone dispels and Naruto went over and scooped up the scroll before proffering it to Iruka.

"Err…Iruka-sensei, you can have this if you want." he mumbled bashfully.

Iruka was actually touched by this. It was Naruto's first successful piece of Fūinjutsu and he was giving it to his teacher.

"Thanks you Naruto." he said with a smile as he rolled the small scroll up and pocketed it, "I'll make good use of it. If you want me to help you out with any other Fūinjutsu, just let me know."

"Sure!" Naruto beamed.

Naruto POV

After talking for a while longer, Iruka took his leave and Naruto dispelled the clones, prompting a rush of memories and a deluge of screens popping up.

"Jeez, you'd think they'd only come one at a time." he grumbled good naturedly, "Lessee here…"

The first couple were notices that his [Calligraphy] skill had gained bonus EXP from his attempts at Fūinjutsu. About a hundred point overall, which wasn't anything to sneeze at.

Next was the notice regarding the failure of the first storage scroll, which sucked.

The second-to-last set was very interesting. Apparently, similar to when the chunin Kitamura helped him with his Shurikenjutsu, having Iruka do one-on-one tutoring had given him an EXP bonus on top of the bonus he received for being a member of the Uzumaki Clan. He was already close to Level 2 in [Fūinjutsu].

The last was very interesting.

Y/N

"Yet another chance for me to die if I fail." Naruto grumbled as he jabbed the 'Y' button, "Meh."

After that, the blond boy reheated some katsudon that he'd had for dinner the previous night and used the last of his rice in the rice cooker for lunch. He would have to go shopping again soon, which would mean transforming into someone else so he wasn't gouged.

He sighed and looked out his money. He would have to buy a week's worth so that meant…damn. That's a lot of Ryo. He could afford it, but it wouldn't be cheap. Even without the shopkeepers gouging him with prices, food prices in Konoha had skyrocketed thanks to Kusagakure engaging in a small war with Takigakure, according to Iruka-sensei.

"Time to see what Tenten-chan thinks of those bokken I got from Training Area 13." he muttered as he headed down to the dojo. After carefully counting them out, he had thirty wooden swords, all in perfect condition, not counting that strange golden bokken.

Leaving out six bokken for himself, Naruto sealed the rest into the one storage scroll that he owned and headed out to Higurashi's in order to see if they would buy the practice weapons from him.

After walking through Konoha (and earning yet another level in [Detect Bloodthirst]), Naruto entered the weapons shop proper, only to be tackle-hugged by an enthusiastic brunette.

"Naruto! Thank you!" Tenten crowed gleefully, "Now I can get my sword!"

"Ten-chan…let him breathe." her mother said absently from behind the counter as she sharpened a Tachi.

Tenten squeaked and let go of Naruto, who was once again blue in the face from the Weapons Mistress' enthusiastic glomp.

"You're…welcome, Tenten-san." he wheezed once he had breath back in his lungs as the genin kunoichi fussed over him apologetically.

"So what can we do for you this time, Naruto-kun?" Kanae asked as she carefully placed the sword she was sharpening on the counter, "You were in here just a few hours ago for blank scrolls."

"For Fūinjutsu?" Tenten asked in surprise.

"Yeah. Just made my first Type-1 storage scroll earlier on today with Iruka-sensei's help." the blond boy replied, "But I'm not here about that. I found some things in Training Ground 13 that I need to sell. The food prices are going up thanks to that war in Kusa."

Kanae made a face. "I know, but hopefully that won't go on for much longer. What do you have to offer us?"

Naruto took out the scroll, placed it on the counter and unsealed the swords. "These."

The Higurashi Matriarch picked up the nearest bokken and examined it with a critical eye, even going so far as to give it an experimental practice swing. Replacing it on the counter, she asked carefully, "And you say you found these in Training Ground 13?"

"Yep."

"Hmm…how does ten-thousand Ryo per blade sound to you?" she asked.

Naruto grinned. "Sold."

Tenten carried the swords to the section that was made up entirely of practice weapons as her mother counted out two-hundred and forty thousand Ryo and handed it over to Naruto, who tucked it into Gama-chan.

You gain 240, 000 Ryo!

"I suppose that explains where that shipment went missing, at least." Kanae sighed.

"Sorry?" Naruto asked.

"A couple of months back, half of one of our shipments of wooden practice weapons went missing." Tenten explained as she came back, "There were bokken, practice spears, nagamaki, naginata, all sorts in the shipment. Cost us a fair bit of Ryo to replace."
