Naruto: Winds and Changes

(The Next Day…)

The next morning Naruto woke up at 7:00 am rather the 5:00 am Kakashi had told him to wake up at. Hopping out of bed he stretched himself out, making sure that his body was in working order after Anko beat the crap out of him last night. Sighing he made a clone to go and make breakfast while he went to take a shower.

Naruto rinsed himself off, turning off the water and stepped out of the shower. He grabbed a towel and dried himself off when his reflection caught his eye. Looking at the mirror Naruto frowned in thought, he wasn't sure if his eyes were seeing things, but he looked a little more muscular then he had last week.

I can't get seeable results from just this week can I? He wondered as he looked over at his back, arms and chest. Even before he started really working towards getting stronger, he had always done a decent amount of exercise so there should be no serious change in his body's physique. Though, he had recently started eating healthier, so maybe that had something to do with it. That and maybe the Kyuubi had some hand in fixing his body now that it had the necessary nutrients to actually increase his physical growth.

What Naruto did not know was that it was in fact the Kyuubi's yokai that was increasing his growth rate. Because he had been unable to get a decent meal from anywhere except Ichirku's, and their food was not healthy in the least, nearly half of the yokai circulating through the seal and into his body went into keeping his body as healthy as possible with the little amount of nutrients it had. Now that he was eating a decent mix of carbs, proteins and fats, the Kyuubi's Yokai had more to work with, thus causing allowing for it to increase his bodies' strength and physical attributes more easily.

Eventually the blond just shrugged it off as seeing things in the mirror and went into his bedroom room and got dressed.

Naruto walked into the kitchen as he finished tying on his head band. He sat down at his table as his clone served him breakfast, grumbling about lazy ass originals before dispelling. Grabbing a fork Naruto began to eat, scrambled eggs with a side of bacon, toast and orange juice, just about the only thing he could make that didn't taste like crap at the moment.

As he did, he thought about how the test would go. Anko didn't give me any information on what Kakashi's test was. But she did warn me that he was smart and would probably try and trick us in some way. I'll just have to be prepared for anything.

He stood up as he finished his breakfast, placing his plate in the sink. He looked over at the clock and saw that it was 7:30. Deciding that he should go to the training ground now, Naruto walked out of the door, locking it before jumping to the rooftops.

He arrived at training ground 7 to see his two teammates already there. Sasuke was leaning against a tree, his face etched in a scowl as he did his usual brooding. Sakura was sitting a little distance a way's from Sasuke, looking like she wanted to talk to the raven haired boy, but was not sure what to say.

"Morning you two." Naruto greeted, causing the two other genin to turn their heads.

"Naruto Baka! Why are you so late!" Sakura yelled as she stood up, glaring at him.

Naruto blinked and tilted his head to the side. "I'm not late."

Sakura's left eye twitched. "Not late! You-"

"Sakura," Naruto said, holding up a hand, stopping the girl from talking. "Do you see our sensei anywhere?" The girl blinked in confusion, wondering what that had to do with anything.

"No." Sakura said slowly before she scowled. "But what has that got to do with you being late?"

Naruto sighed. And they called him the dead last. "Our sensei is not here, therefore I am not late. Remember what I told you yesterday? Kakashi is always three hours late to everything barring A rank and above missions or direct orders from the Hokage. That means we technically still have at least fifteen minutes before he shows up. Now, if our sensei is not here, how can I be late?"

"Well… I…" Sakura looked at him for a moment, unsure of herself. It didn't last as she scowled at him for making her look bad in front of her Sasuke-kun, but she did not reply as she sat back down.

Naruto sighed in relief as he went over to one of the trees, sitting against it as he pulled out his book on fuiinjutsu. Opening it up he smiled as he began reading, the subject itself was easily one of the most interesting and fascinating studies he had started to read (his clones had ever read). And for some odd reason, reading about seals relaxed him.
