"Naruto."
"Mhmm..."
"Naruto, wake up."
"Wha... AH!' Naruto jumped out of his bed in shock, "What the hell, Kakashi-sensei? It's the middle of the night!"
The Jounin gave him an 'eye smile,' "Just checking up on my favorite student."
"You couldn't ask me how I was in the morning?"
"You seem to be very angry with me in the morning; I was hoping your disposition would be friendlier at night." The man picked up the photo that Naruto had on his dresser of Team 7.
"I'm angry because you refuse to train me!"
"Naruto I train you along with the rest of the team." Kakashi replied patiently, "But until you catch up with the others in taijutsu and chakra control, I can't teach you jutsu, you don't have the capability to learn any."
"My taijutsu is good now!" Naruto insisted, "And I've been improving my chakra control."
"Really?" Kakashi asked skeptically, "I've hardly seen any improvement in your fighting when we do team training."
"How the hell am I supposed to show better chakra control when you forbid me from using the only useful technique I know?"
"Hmm." Kakashi paused, "Granted." The Jounin admitted, "But what about your taijutsu? Your form seems better, but you don't seem any stronger or faster."
"That's because I'm not using chakra for team training!" Naruto replied impatiently.
"...What?" Kakashi said after a moment, "You mean to tell me you don't use chakra at all?"
"Not unless I need to jump!" Naruto replied, "You can't tell? I thought you were supposed to be a Jounin!"
Kakashi ignored the insult, "Naruto you're supposed to use chakra to augment your physical abilities, every ninja knows that, you're a genin fighting a Jounin, how could you do so without chakra?"
"It never made a difference anyways! Before I stopped doing it all you did was knock me around, afterwards the same thing. But I get extra training in running around and tossing weapons at you or the target, I max out my workout so it's not just team training I'm doing!"
In some weird way that all made sense. Below Chuunin level, there were usually no ninja training without chakra to improve themselves, because learning how to use your chakra to augment speed and strength was so important. Kakashi really hadn't been noticing Naruto during their team exercises, every time it was the same thing, Naruto is too slow, Naruto's form is strange, break through it. Instead he had been moving away from the blonde, instead focusing on the other three.
"Naruto..." Kakashi finally said, "I was wrong."
"What was that sensei? I didn't hear you."
"I was wrong." The masked man repeated in amusement, "Tomorrow you'll be training along Sasuke. At this point and time I don't need to give out much personal attention since its ninjutsu, but when we get into taijutsu we'll have to think up a different arrangement."
"Yes!" Naruto cheered, "Just wait 'til I show you how awesome I am tomorrow sensei!"
Kakashi ruffled the blonde's hair affectionately before turning to leave through the window, "Go to bed Naruto. You have to wake up early tomorrow."

Instead of dealing with an angry Naruto again, the team was relieved to find that the blonde was in good spirits, greeting them all happily.
