Narutos pov

Straight from the jump, arriving here was already getting tough. We didn't settle here at all with a great start. 

In such very little time, many things ensued and all brought chaos.

Peace.. no.. My peace was shattered.

The only thing that could have probably come good out of this was having Shikamaru as a comforting hand. Pushing aside the intense sexual desire, he was there. 

However the only issue that rests at my mind is my brother. 

My heart ached at the thought of the night my brother had told me he was in a relationship.. with someone.. speaking of that name brings fire upon my body and my eyes burn with anger.

I should not be this angry but my temper gets the best of me and sharing that same temper and large rage with my brother gets me in all places rather than good. 

I pushed down my anger however and decided that maybe that boy had really changed. Maybe Menma had that effect on others the same he did to me. 

I forced myself away from those thoughts and continued on with my morning. 

Day three. Here we go.

Third pov

The morning went by quickly, everyone energized and ready for the day ahead. Naruto and Menma had been paired for the day, unsurprisingly and they both took this opportunity to finally speak to one another.

Each of them is divided to certain sections of the training ground and tasked with a goal, starting small to develop them into something much bigger.

Depending on your skill level you were partnered with someone compatible and the goal would get increasingly harder. 

...

Naruto and Menma sat by the waterfall, two rocks in which were on either side of the river. Menma on the left and Naruto on the right.

The goal was to attempt to form a gravity bubble connecting only the two rocks and their partner.
