The next day Naruto woke up to the blinding sunlight in his eyes. He used his hands to shield his eyes then he sat up. He looked to his left and saw Shikamaru silently sleeping. Then turned to his right where he saw Ino lightly snoring. He lightly giggled to himself. She was cute and left wide open for a prank but he thought that's not a smart idea. So he got up and made his way down the stairs to shower.

When he got out of the shower Asuma was wake "so what's the plan sensei" he asked.

"So I'm going to wake the other up then were going to work on your chakra control for the morning then will have breakfast then taijutsu training till dinner then ill teach you
Ninjutsu before bed" Asuma said.

Naruto waited for Asuma to wake the others. Once they were up and ate breakfast. Asuma let them out to the forest; he stopped at a small clearing surrounded by trees. Then he handed them each a kunai.

"Ok guys, we're going to work on your chakra control. You're going to use the kunai to make you progress. You're going to climb this trees without your hands."Asuma said

"How are we climbing trees without our hands?" Naruto asked.

"You channel chakra into your feet and stick to the tree. If you use too much you will be blown backwards and crack the tree if you just do too little you will slip and fall off the tree. So you run up the tree as far as you can when you get as far as you can mark the height on the tree and try again.

Ino you will probably pick this up faster then Shikamaru or Naruto. This reason why is girls have smaller chakra levels so you control will be better than the boys and you will strengthen you chakra reserves. Once all of you guys master the we will move on to water walking. Now get to work!" Asuma demanded.

For the next several hours they ran up and down the trees. Just like Asuma said, Ino was the first to master it. She then help the others to master that. Shikamaru mastered it just before lunch. This pisses Naruto off that he couldn't master in in the time they did.

Asuma pulled Naruto off to the side and said "Naruto the reason you couldn't master it in the same amount of time is because you have a massive amount of chakra. Your levels are higher than my own. You know why don't you."

"It's because of that dam fox right sensei. I bet you don't even want me on the team anymore right because I'm the fox right" Naruto cried

"Kid i've known about that since you were two years old. When I left to be one of the fire guardians 12. You are Naruto and you always have and you always will be. that is the difference some people are just to stupid to see it" Asuma replied.

"Thank you sensei it means a lot to me that you see me as a person instead of the fox." Naruto said.

Well kid i believe in what the fourth said you are a hero and should be treated as such.

He though I'm a hero" Naruto asked

"Yes he did Naruto you should too. Now I'm going to let you in on a little secret. You learn the multi shadow jutsu from the forbidden scroll right well the thing with those is anything they do you learn. So when it comes to learning something just make another clone and you can learn it in half the time" Asuma said.

"Really wow okay i have a few ideas for after lunch" Naruto said.

They made it back to the cabin for lunch then Asuma brought them outside. "Okay so now we're moving on to the next lesson. Lesson number 2 taijutsu" Asuma said

"Sensei just give me one moment." Naruto said as he made some hand signs " (Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu).

Then there was a huge cloud of smoke. Naruto had made 500 clones of himself. The others were speechless at the site of 500 Naruto's.

"Okay you 4 stay here the rest of you go practice tree climbing". He demanded.
