'I have Doton, which cancels out Katon Jutsu and is pierced by Raiton Jutsu, and Fūton, which cancels out Raiton and empowers Katon.' He thought as he slipped his sandals on, 'Raiton is neutralised by Fūton and pierces through Doton. Katon absorbs Fūton and is cancelled out by Suiton, which is weak against Doton. Choosing which one to train into my third affinity isn't gonna be easy.'
The third jutsu was the one of the quest rewards for him getting Asuma-sensei living in his building and boy, did it pack a punch! The length of time it took to charge up was not good, but otherwise the jutsu was a good one.
Today marked the three-month anniversary of when he had received his [Gamer] power and Naruto was glad to say that he had improved by leaps and bounds from where he had been before. Even Sasuke-teme was giving him respect now, although Naruto still hadn't beaten the bastard in a taijutsu match. He'd definitely let him know that he'd been there, but his speed and greater mastery of whatever the hell kind of taijutsu style he used gained him the upper hand in their fights.
'Speaking of fights, it's almost time for Ino and Sakura-chan to throw down. Just another week to go.' Naruto thought with a grin. Sakura had thankfully lost the [Malnourished] status just last week and had gained a few points in her STR and STA as a result. Her training with him and her father had added a few points as well, which meant that Naruto was almost certain to complete the quest he had with her to improve her stats, as well as the one where Sakura had to beat her old rival in a taijutsu spar. He had just the prize to give his crush if she won as well.
In the Training Ground the other day, he had gotten a Jutsu Scroll for a slightly more complex variant of the Bunshin no Jutsu, Suiton: Suijōki Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Style: Water Vapour Clone Jutsu). It used slightly more chakra than the standard illusion clone, but still needed more chakra control than he would likely ever have, so giving it to someone like Sakura, who had excellent chakra control but poor reserves, was a good idea.
Unlike his Iwa Bunshin, the Suijōki Bunshin, according to the scroll, had very little physical presence, so couldn't attack in close combat. Similar to Iwa Bunshin however, they could use whatever Suiton Jutsu the original knew, although they could only fire off maybe one or two High-D-Rank Jutsu or a single C-Rank Jutsu before dispelling into vapour. Still, it was a step up from that damn illusion clone.
He still hadn't managed to get into the third area of Training Ground 13, even after a month. Something always happened to make him put it off, one contrived coincidence after another; study sessions with Sakura-chan that he was late for, training sessions with Asuma-sensei and Tenten that ate up his time, ramen visits with Iruka-sensei that ran overtime as they caught up with each other…
He'd concluded that his own damn [Gamer] power was actively working against him in that department until he attained Level 15 and could then equip Tsubaki and Sumire. He had been warned that he needed proper weapons to face what lay within, after all so it made sense.
Just about the only fly in the ointment over the last month or so was that Mizuki had been stepping up his sabotage attempts on him. Now that he knew what to look for and he was keeping his guard up around the silver-haired man, Naruto spotted the dozen or so attempts during taijutsu kata time to teach him to leave his stance open or weak, the incorrect throwing technique he showed him during shuriken throwing practice and the slightly altered questions on the weekly tests. He simply ignored the incorrect stances and reported the paper to Iruka-sensei, saying that there must have been a mix up as the questions weren't anything to do with what they had been taught.
The look on Mizuki's face had been priceless.
Yes, Uzumaki Naruto was pretty happy with himself and his life. It would only get better once he graduated and finally became a ninja.
A week later
Training Room, Amekage Apartments
Haruno Sakura felt ill. She had butterflies in her stomach, she felt lightheaded, her legs felt as if they were overcooked noodles and her arms felt as if they had lead weights attached to them.
"Calm down, Sakura-chan!" Naruto said encouragingly, "You'll win….not easily, but you'll win."
She shot her somewhat-friend a light glare. "Your skills at encouragement suck, Naruto."
Yes, she was going to have a taijutsu spar with Ino, her old frenemy. If she won, she would finally be rid of that damn nickname that Ino called her. If not, Naruto would be footing the bill for one of Ino's insane shopping sprees.
When she had been told about this a month previously, she had punched Naruto into the wall for betting on her without her consent before he had told her he bet on her because he honestly believed she had a very good chance at beating the Yamanaka Heiress.
That had…made her feel odd. Warm and fluttery inside. She had quickly thrown the feeling off because she wanted her Sasuke-kun, not Naruto, no matter how he gave her more attention than Sasuke or that he was actively helping her become a stronger kunoichi. Naruto was just a friend and training partner, nothing more.
The pinkette ignored a little voice at the back of her mind that disagreed with her assessment.
