Naruto: Bound For Glory.

Prelims, let's cut some extras.

Naruto had written a letter back to Hana Saying he can't wait to see her and promise not to make her worry too much. Topazu had appear before him and took Naruto to the Enchanted Shore, so Pāru could teach Naruto a wind and water Jutsu.
Pāru taught Naruto how to create a wind sphere that goes around his whole body with can be Used offensive and defensive. The Water Sphere is more defensive, there's a second part to it but Pāru instructed Naruto to master the first part since he weaker using water then he is using wind.

Naruto return shortly in the evening to find Sakura who was sleeping. She woke up briefly to greet Naruto and went back to sleep. Sasuke had returned not too long after he did (a/n: Basically Kakashi put the seal on his curse mark like Canon) and went to sleep himself. Naruto decided to see if Shikamaru was awoke or not. As he was heading to team 10 room, Naruto and Gaara had cross paths. They eyed each other briefly. But went on about there Business.

Kurama: ( Shukaku, is making that boy go insane more as time passes...)

Naruto: ( Maybe he's just doing that to break free. He may have been seal inside a host multiple times like you have. So I can understand stand why he go to such length. Wait is Shukaka a boy or girl?)

Kurama: ( He's a boy kit, a whiny boy. and I appreciate you sympathize with how we tailed beast are force to live. Nothing against you or that Gaara boy.

Naruto: ( None taken. Let me hear to team 10 room before too much time go pass)

Naruto continue walking reaching Team 10 room. He knocked on the door , and can hear Shikamaru voice saying its a drag since he has to get up to get the door he opens the door and sees Naruto.

Shikamaru: Hey Naruto what's up ???

Naruto: Nothing much, did you want to play a few games of Shogi.

Shikamaru:  Sounds good to me. Choji Not interested in the game and Ino keeps spewing nonsense about the game being boring.

Naruto: I'm surprised Ino actually attempted to nplay the game. I figured if it ain't about Flowers or shopping she's not interested.

Ino:* sit up in her bed* Hey I may be a girl but even I'm interested in other things you know.

Shikamaru: Ino, you're reading one of those girls magazine right now.

Ino: Shush you...

Shikamaru: anyway I have the game setup already so have a seat.

Ino: Don't just ignore me like that!!!!

Shikamaru: Troublesome blonds

Naruto: Hey I didn't do anything yet???

Shikamaru: Yea Yea , keep your voice  down or else Choji will wake up.

Ino: How can he sleep for so long???

Shikamaru ignore Ino statement and went over the game rules with Naruto. Shikamaru surprised that Naruto pick up on the game so quickly. Shikamaru wain the 1st and 2nd games but Naruto beat him up he 3rd and 4th game. Normally Shikamaru dad gives him a challenge but Naruto is playing on a higher level now forcing Shikamaru to get more serious. After a few hours passed the game became a draw. Shikamaru hadn't had no one around his age that can match and beat him ever before.

Shikamaru: Your a natural at this game Naruto. Had I known you pick up on the game so quickly and beat me a few times, I would had been playing against you a long time ago.

Naruto: Hey I was only keeping npace with you....

Shikamaru: No reason to be modest... Well it's getting late perhaps we can play again sometime soon.
