In Naruto: Reborn with a Chat Group

After treating Zabuza's injuries, the group continued toward Tazuna's house. But this time, they had two extra members, Zabuza and Haku.

Makoto's interference had changed the course of events once again. Kakashi wasn't running low on chakra, Naruto wasn't injured and the rematch with Zabuza was never going to happen.

Instead of dying, Zabuza and Haku had joined Makoto's side.

Zabuza, in particular, had taken on the role of his bodyguard, sticking close to him the entire way.

But now, Makoto's problem wasn't Zabuza, it was Naruto.

Ever since witnessing Makoto's fight, Naruto had been relentlessly pestering him along the way. He tried begging, complimenting, even whining just to get Makoto to teach him those badass techniques.

Compared to Makoto, Naruto's arsenal was pretty pathetic. He only had the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, the Sexy Jutsu, and the Harem Jutsu which he had picked up from Makoto himself.

He wouldn't stop nagging until Makoto agreed to train him.

"Oi, Makoto! Teach me already!" Naruto whined, practically bouncing on his feet. "I wanna learn those badass techniques too!"

His fists clenched as he huffed. "Every time I fight, all I got is my stupid Shadow Clones! But you! you're spamming jutsus left and right like it's nothing!"

"Fire, wind, lightning, water and earth, you got everything!"

Naruto grabbed Makoto's shoulders and shook him dramatically. "Come on, man! Just teach me a few! Please!"

When Makoto didn't answer right away, He clutched his chest like he'd been stabbed.

"Makoto! Aren't we best friends?!"

Naruto kept bouncing around Makoto like an excited kid, practically begging him to teach those powerful techniques.

Sasuke, of course, had the same thoughts but he wasn't that desperate. He wouldn't lower himself to begging. But that didn't mean he wasn't paying attention. Every now and then, he glanced at Makoto and Naruto.

'Damn it...'

Since joining Team 7, Kakashi had barely taught them anything. All they'd done were pointless D-rank missions and not a single thing that actually made them stronger. After seeing Makoto fight against Zabuza while throwing around high-level techniques, Sasuke felt powerless.

He already knew he wasn't at a jonin's level, not to mention Zabuza, an Elite Jonin, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

'If I fought him right now... I wouldn't stand a chance.'

'Damn it! I refuse to fall behind!'

'Makoto, if you are destined to reach the top of the world, then I have to be there too! I won't allow myself to be left in the dust!'

'And more than anything, I still have to kill that man!'

'I am the last remaining member of the Uchiha clan, and I must become stronger! I have no other choice!'

Makoto sighed, rubbing his temples as he looked at Naruto. "When we took the Scroll of Seals, I told you to memorize both the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu and Rasengan, right?"

"You already mastered the Multi Shadow Clone Technique, but what about Rasengan? Made any progress?"

At those words, Naruto scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed. "Hehe... well, uh... that technique is really hard. I mean, I memorized the steps, but no matter how much I trained after that, I just can't get it to work!"

Makoto let out another sigh and shook his head.

"Alright, alright. Once we get to our destination, I'll teach you properly."

"Seriously?! That's awesome! Makoto, you're the best!!!" Naruto cheered, practically bouncing with excitement.

Sasuke hesitated for a moment as he listened to Makoto and Naruto talk.

Makoto glanced at him with a smirk.

"If you want to learn, just say so. I don't mind teaching you," he said casually.

"But honestly, Sasuke, your real path to power is through your Sharingan. I'll see if I can figure out a way to help you awaken the Three Tomoe Sharingan"

Sasuke scoffed and turned his head to the side, crossing his arms.

"Hmph. I don't need your help to awaken my Three Tomoe Sharingan," he said, acting as if the very idea offended him.

"But... since you're so insistent on helping me, I guess I'll reluctantly agree." He closed his eyes and nodded, as if making a great concession.

"I mean, if I didn't agree, it'd be kind of disrespectful to you, right? But don't get the wrong idea! It's not like I want to learn from you or anything! I'm just doing this to give you some face."

Makoto couldn't help but laugh after hearing his words. "Yeah, yeah, whatever you say."

Kakashi had been listening to the conversation between Makoto and the others. The moment he heard Makoto mention teaching Naruto Rasengan, his eyes widened slightly.

'Rasengan...'

Hearing that name immediately brought back memories of his teacher, the Fourth Hokage, Minato.

Rasengan was one of Minato's signature jutsu.

A technique that embodied his incredible skill and mastery over chakra control.

And now, Naruto was going to learn it?

'That.... might not be a bad thing.'

Neither Naruto nor the others had realized that Naruto wasn't actually bad at learning ninjutsu.

The problem was the Nine-Tails.

Kurama's chakra constantly interfered with Naruto's chakra, throwing everything off balance. This was the real reason he struggled to learn ninjutsu properly.

By all logic, Naruto should be a terrifying genius.

His father was Minato, the Fourth Hokage and his mother, Kushina, came from a clan known for their monstrous chakra and sealing abilities.

There was no way Naruto could've inherited nothing from them.

If Naruto could develop a good relationship with the Nine-Tails early on, his road to power would be a hundred times smoother.

And then there was Sasuke.

'How do I get him to awaken his Three Tomoe Sharingan sooner?

Makoto remembered how Sasuke awakened his Two Tomoe Sharingan.

'Maybe I can work with that...'

With his current level of spiritual power, maybe he could use genjutsu to hit Sasuke with a serious emotional shock, one strong enough to force his Three Tomoe Sharingan to awaken.

[Makoto Ito: Everyone, Naruto and Sasuke want to get stronger as fast as possible. Does anyone have any good ideas?]

[To be honest, Naruto's talent isn't actually bad.]

[The real issue is the Nine-Tails'chakra constantly interfering with him, messing up his control and making it impossible for him to learn ninjutsu properly. Is there any way to help him build a good relationship with Kurama?]

[We have two Jinchuriki here. Maybe one of you has some advice?]

[As for Sasuke, he's easier to handle. I can probably use genjutsu to give him a strong enough emotional shock to awaken his Three Tomoe Sharingan.]

[But when it comes to Naruto... I've got no clue. I had never dealt with a tailed beast before.]
