Naruto slowly opens his eyes, slowly getting accustomed to the dark interior and the unfamiliar room that he is in. Gradually, he leans his back against the headboard. Well that certainly was a weird dream. Sigh, it only raised more questions if any. But at least it confirmed my theory that the white and green energies are indeed separate. He glanced to his right, and looking at the clock, his raised his eyebrows. Wait I only slept for 4 hours, why do I feel as if I have slept for more than 7 hours. Interesting, again the only assumption I could make is my increased regeneration. But then again would it not affect my metabolism?
He got of the bed, refreshed himself and ate a breakfast solely consisting of cup ramen. Oi oi this fellow only has cup ramen and snacks, does he not eat anything else. I mean I know that he loves ramen, I do to but urgh what the hell am I even ranting about?
Shaking his head, he started contemplate on more pressing matters. That weird white dude however left several important pieces of information. Firstly the training space which I could access when I am sleeping. He said I could drag one person; but the damn fool did not even tell me how. Furthermore what is with the "little one" shit anyway. Ahh not good, not good I'm ranting on about useless shit again. Sigh that must definitely the "Naruto" in me speaking.
He then searched the room for a notepad and a pen. Surprised that he actually found them, he started brainstorming for the next half hour or so. Then he organized his notes for another good part of an hour. Hmm looks like I got a week for my ninja registration date and four days later would be the genin team assignment date. Okay then, let's see my list of priorities or whatever they are called.
List of Priorities.
1. Re-learn all the basic jutsus and definitely try to master the Body Flicker jutsu. Furthermore train to use hidden weapons such as kunai more efficiently.
2. Gather knowledge about the human anatomy, chakra in all its aspects such chakra control, elements and affinities.
3. Set up a daily training routine, starting with 5 hours of taijutsu, 5 hours of ninjutsu and chakra control; finally two hours of assimilating the knowledge and the data gathered. Added to this schedule will be the 15 hours in the dream world. Again I wish the damn white image man thing gave more information on how to even get in first place. (Author: Dude I know you wanna rant but isnt this bit too much?)
4. Master the rasengan.
5. Using the knowledge from human anatomy, learn about how to activate the 8 gates.
6. Accumulate knowledge on jutsu, especially take note of any information on space-time.
7. Get some bloody vegetables.
Hmm looks like everything I'll need for now. Well better take a break of an hour half way through the training. I could probably head over to the Konoha library. Oh yeah better get some training weights. I better use 5 shadow clones to read in the library. Better not overload myself with too much information at one given time. Better to gradually settle in. Taijutsu training I guess would be just super hard physical training. Nin-jutsu... this one would be I guess trying various techniques, oh I do remember that the ANBU member used the body flicker jutsu, so better recall that and try it out. I guess the rasengan would fall under this as well. Let's see it is still 5am, so why don't start off with running around the village for two hours then moving on to martial arts. The weights will have to wait till tomorrow though.
With that, Naruto changed to his trademark outfit and made his way to the outskirts of the village. By taking a deep breath he started out with a full blown sprint at his highest speed. 20 minutes later, he started feeling the lactic acid building up and signs of fatigue. However as he continued running he felt a comforting energy deep within his mind easing fatigue and the pain. This cycle continued for the entire period of two hours. Without taking even the slightest of breaks, he made his way to an isolated training ground. Here he straight away focused on just punching and kicking continuously against a bunch of wooden dummies. Forty minutes into this, his skin started peeling away and fatigue starting settling in. Once again he noted the comforting sensation however he noted the color of it; it was a combination of green, white, red and blue. Not really blending together to form a different color, but just seperate, acting as if they had their own will. He also notes how his speed and strength are ever so slightly increasing. He redoubled his efforts and continued pushing himself. He does not try to theorize or waste his time speculating, his sole focus is to just push himself. He is trying to act without thought, to subliminally commit himself to his cause. Two hours later he stopped his current actions and and moved to an area with 5 targets.

He inhaled deeply, as he threw each kunai at his target then as soon as they struck the target, he moved towards each target at his highest speed, gathered each kunai and got back to his position. He carried out this sequence for one hour. As the time came up he lay on the ground panting. He stayed in this position for a while, drained from his training session.
"Well better take a break and get some lunch" he muttered. He slowly dragged himself to the village, recalling every second of his session. He once again absentmindedly made his way to the Ichiraku ramen store. After devouring couple bowls of ramen, he walked around village observing the many shops in its streets which when he heard-
"Shikamaru~~~ can't we go eat something, like barbecue meat, let's go eat~~~"
"Oi didn't you eat lunch just 20 minutes ago?"
"But that is just lunch, come on Shikamaru, let's just go already~~"
"What a drag...."
As he glanced to his right he saw the two sources of this conversation. Yep makes sense, humu it's definitely them, as his eyebrows twitched at sight of the thin black haired boy being dragged by a fa-cough- big-boned boy of his age. Yep the legendary Shikamaru/Choji duo.
"Yo Shikamaru, Choji!"
"Ahh Naruto- wait is that the head band you have on your head, you sure it isn't stolen?" asked Shikamaru with his trademark tone of voice.
"Oi oi, who do you take the great me as? I am Naruto Uzumaki, the future Hokage of the Hidden leaf village. Do you take as a fool who is unable to graduate from a mere academy?"
"Well yeah actually." repled Shikamaru. Oi thats harsh you know, I will cry you know.
"Ahem, forget about that where are you guys off to-"
"Oooooh, all you can eat barbecue, let's go Shikamaru~~~" exclaimed Choji as he dragged the lifeless body into the underw- well actually god knows he dragged him and just vanished into thin air.
"Humu, the king of Gluttony, common sense really has no effect on him"
After aimlessly walking around the village for another ten minutes, he made his way back to the training ground. Soon as he got there, he made the hand seal for the Multiple Shadow clone jutsu and shouted "Multiple Shadow Clone jutsu!". A total of 1500 clones appeared.
Better separate them to do several tasks then. Have a group of 300 clones to practice the substitution, clone and transformation jutsus, another three hundred on the body flicker jutsu, 300 more on the three chakra control exercises, 300 on meditating and the final group on the first stage of rasengan , rotation of chakra. Granted that Jiraiya made naruto practice through water balloons but.. well you know I'm sorta kinda of on budget so......
He then gave each group their respective commands, for starters let's start off with the body flicker jutsu. He closed his eyes, recalled the moment he saw the technique and relived every moment. He then executed the hand signs, concentrated his chakra throughout his body and pictured himself 5 meters away. With a moment's notice he then appeared 3 meters away and fell down face first into the ground. He got up, walked back to his initial position and once again focused once again, this time recalling the sensations he felt executing the technique and the memory of observing the ANBU member. When he executed the technique for the second time however, he reached a little further before staggering down. That is when he instantly reviewed each clone doing this task. Ahh so thats why I went wrong. Let's try it out this time and see what happens. As he got back to try for the third time, instead of uniformly spreading his chakra, his main focus was on his feet, and then the rest of his body. Immediately afterwards, Naruto executed the jutsu, this time reaching the 5m mark without falling. He smirked at his success and then gradually increased the distance each time he was successful. After 30 minutes of practice, he then walked over to the rotation group.
Before he did so, he reviewed the information gathered by each clone. Then he immediately saw the error; it was because the direction of the chakra rotation is in a singular path. Instead the rotation should similar to that of a whirlpool. Taking a deep breath, he focuses on his task at hand. Slowly he feels the flow of chakra moving through his body, into his right hand, then he gradually tries to exert it and rotate the chakra, clockwise in many directions.
For the next 5 hours, Naruto switched around the two tasks at random intervals while reviewing the information gathered by each task at each hour, just so it will not overwhelm him. Each time he nearly depletes his chakra, the comforting aura increases his regeneration to monstrous levels; however the mental exhaustion from training is slowly draining him due to the extreme amount of concentration needed. As the 5 hours came up, Naruto fell down, drained from his training. Phew, daunting but absolutely worth it.
