Konoha Academy :
Training Ground :
The Shuriken flew in a straight Line and strikes the Wooden Target . Hearing the sound all three of them exclaimed and while coming closer to the target , Shino asks curiously
" was that 'something' , you were saying earlier "
" you mean that something together with hand-seals , Right " Shikamaru
" Yeah , I decided to add extra rotation when throwing the Shuriken " Naruto
Coming closer and Seeing the Shuriken , Naruto inquires their thoughts
"....So what do you think "
Shino looks closely at the shuriken
" It's embedded a little deep "
" Yeah , a single edge has gone one third inside the wooden target" Shikamaru also voices out his thoughts
" ....nothing like academy " Shino
Seeing his friends looking at it , Naruto also notices it and gripping the Shuriken , he tries to take the Shuriken out , only to be met with resistence .
After finally increasing the force in his hand , he takes out the shuriken and looking at it , he replies
" It's still in trial stage , do you guys have any suggestions "
Hearing him saying this , both the Observer and lazy Strategist get a little surprised and starts thinking and then the three of them started discussing about it.
" It flew in straight line , instead of a little curve "
" yeah it was very stable "
" But it was only a little faster than throwing a normal shuriken "
" yeah , I need to concentrate at it's rotation and other things while throwing it "
" It also took quite a bit of time "
" In missions it may be problematic "
" Practice it more , I guess "
" How did you add rotation , Shurikens are pretty sharp "
" Yeah , it looked dangerous in your hand , a slight carelessness and fingers may get cut off "
" Oh that , I add leaf sticking to the Shuriken "
".....so sticking Shuriken instead of leaf with your hand ....!!!" Shino
" .....and adding rotation in an instant when throwing ..!! " Shikamaru
" Yup That's it , Need more practice though "
Replies Naruto to his friends , who replied in a diffrent way
" Ugh Troublesome ...I am gonna take a nap "
replies Shikamaru while walking away
" The idea is simple but to make it effective you need to throw it fast "
Shino also replies
" Hmm , do you wanna try Shino "
" ummm , no My fighting style is different and I need to discuss my training with my dad too "
" Oh , Ok then "
Seeing Shino walking away , Naruto goes back to his position to keep his training going .
( well I can understand their lack of interest , afterall they both have their own clan jutsu but for me this will help in Rasengan and Rasenshuriken in the future )
For now it's just a shuriken , while may be powerful ,as long it can be dodged , it's ineffective , practicing it like this is also leveling my shuriken skill fast now.
( using new ways to utilize and practice skills , is a way to level it up faster )
Naruto spends his time on training diffrent skills & jutsus , Shikamaru and Shino went their home at 3 PM .
Looking at their back , Naruto starts Hand-signs and other practices
( Time to practice Lone Wolf skill , I guess )
As long as he is alone , he practices Lone Wolf skill . a skill that can only be used and practiced when alone .
While practicing he decided his future plans .
( I need at least a month to digest the memories of 4th year Academy student skill )
He doesn't have Eidetic memories , using Reading skill , Naruto needs to make all these memories his and much more for his future plan .
( There is also 5th and 6th Year Academy Student Skill , which will take 25 days and 36 days of Sign-ins , technically 1 month for each )
After calculating his need of sign-in and also the time to make the memories from this skill his , without jeopardising his training daily , Naruto finallycomes to a conclusion
( Six Months , once I am satisfied with my progress of Academy Student 4th year Skill , I should complete the rest of it within 6 months )
Studying this skill fully and also training physically and in Ninjutsu
( Quite a few skills will reach Level 3 in a month with my progress , and in 6 months other skills should catch up too . Accelerated Training and Rejuvenation also need to sign-in within these days )
Thinking while throwing Shuriken , Naruto stops his shuriken training and starts training his Hand-signs.
Hand-signs are not just how you move your hands fast , but also the chakra moving with those signs
( So hard , despite so much progress in chakra control it's still this hard , no wonder 'Canon Naruto' only used Rasengan )
Despite the difficulties and problems , Naruto slowly performs one Hand-sign after another , while simultaneously feeling the chakra moving in his body , and trying to control it .
( Thank goodness I have Inner Strength Skill , Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with these either )
In these days Naruto also visits Konoha monument during his daily Jogging and spends 15 minuts to remember the names written on it .
( Unique SkillAarth Guardian wall works on all Earth type jutsu , I also need to prepare for it )
The Day goes by with Naruto grinding his skills Dynamic Vision , Keen eye , Avian Link , Lone Wolf and Other Jutsu's .
The Day goes by , And Naruto packs his things and heads back to his Apartment . Approaching the Academy Gate , he sees a familiar girl standing .
Seeing him she waves her hand and comes near him and greets him
" Naruto-kun , How are you "
" good , what about you Shizuka "
" Busy these days , I had time so I came to meet you "
" were you waiting for me at gate ,you could have just met me at training ground ya'know "
" hehe but I don't wanna disturb your training"
( Naruto kun looked so cool while training , I just stalk- Admired him from afar )
Seeing Shizuka's silly smile , Naruto smiles and they both started walking while chatting .
" What are you doing nowdays , Shizuka "
" aahhh , I am now intern at Konoha Hospital "
" .....That's fast........!!!! "
" Hehe , I was already preparing for this with my Dad over the years , passing the exam was easy "
" woahh ....so Shizuka is awesome "
" Yup , how about it , did you fall for me "
" Ha...... it will take a lot more than that "
" ...... haaa What a difficult road , It's good my ninja way is to never Give up "
Naruto's eyes twitched while walking side by side with Shizuka
( Sometimes , I fell like she is just teasing me )
Naruto thoughts gets interrupted by Shizuka
"ne ne Naruto kun , I Heard something"
" Humm what is it ?"
" You defeated Uchiha Sasuke today "
" ........ Did news travel so fast "
" Yup , It's about Uchiha afterall "
" What did the rumors say "
" Hehe The Demon fox defeated the Invincible Uchiha in an Instant "
Seeing her teasing face and voice , Naruto rolls his eyes
" Soo troublesome "
" hahaha ,....... so How does it feel "
" What do you mean "
" Meaning becoming no.1 in the class ofcourse , The whole academy is now buzzing "
" Is it that big of a deal "
" Yup ...Sooo "
" .....Ok I guess , Where are others "
Naruto decided to divert her attention from this topic and asks about Gian & others .
" Gian is training with his dad and learning Ninjutsu , he was pretty pumped up when he heard your feat "
" really "
" yup , Suneo had an appointment with his instructor , he also asked me to congratulate you "
" It really seems like a very big kind of deal , Defeating an Uchiha "
" yup , you don't know but hardly anyone can defeat uchiha one on one , maybe Hyuga or from some famous clans , but not civilians , it's very very rare "
" hoooo"
Naruto somehow understood the situation now , No wonder the atmosphere in class was like that .
Walking together , Naruto decided to celebrate today's occasion and invited Shizuka
" Let's go to Ichiraku to celebrate then , My Treat "
" Really .....Is it date , my prince "
" .....haaaa , so you coming "
" Ofcourse , Let's goooo "
saying this Shizuka grabs Naruto's hand and heads to ichiraku Ramen
" What about Nobita , What is he upto ?"
" Studying , studying ,........ He wants to pass Police force exam and needs to learn all rules and other things "
" I thought he was slacking "
" haha , He takes some things seriouly but goes back to his ways once he got a passing grade "
" That sounds like him " Naruto
" Nobita will cry if he heard he missed free food " Shizuka
Both of them arrived Ichiraku , And to Naruto's surprise even Uncle Teuchi and Ayame also heard his feat of defeating uchiha in the Academy .
He got Free Ramen from Uncle Teuchi and Ayame kept teasing him and Shizuka the whole time .
Eating his fill and bidding farewell to Uncle Teuchi , Ayame and Shizuka , Naruto heads back to his apartment for the rest of the day .
