Naruto shifted a little bit. A little more the martial artist/fight enthusiast. A little shift here and there. Still no skill at genjutsu, that would continue to be a problem for him.
On the other hand, his Gates and Channels were reworked to be able to manage what was now a HUGE reservoir of chakra.
"KAME," said Naruto, summoning that chakra. "HAME," he continued, shifting his stance. "HA!" Release.
As promised, it opened the door. And the wall after that.
"Nice!" said Naruto, wondering what now.
Hinata had a scroll to teach her the special jutsu Pinpoint Defense. Basically, she could channel chakra into her fingertips and then block darn near anything with that chakra shield if she could just move her hands fast enough to get in the way of the attack. It would be even more enhanced, said the notes, if bracers made from chakra-metal and were the focus. There were indications that this was all a stepped technique, with this just being the introductory level.
Combined with the Byakugan, Hinata could see the possibilities.
Or rather she'd be able to see the possibilities if she weren't still in a faint. She'd come out long enough to realize that she was being carried in Naruto's arms and he was hopping away to some other location. Once that had penetrated, she'd again went into an impromptu nap.
The only odd thing had been hearing some voice echoing into her head saying something about how this joke was getting old.
For some reason that comment had awoken a chill up her spine.
Naruto was disappointed as Hinata had only woken up long enough to faint again.
"Hey Pops," said Naruto as he entered the ramen bar.
"Eh? Naruto? What's with the girl?" asked Teuchi, the owner of the stand.
"She fainted or something," said Naruto. "Inaba said she might have low blood sugar or low blood pressure or something like that, so she faints a lot."
"Oh?" asked Teuchi, figuring that this 'Inaba' must be a medical ninja. Maybe a trainee or something. "I see."
"Do you got a diet ramen or something?" asked Naruto. "We got to get back to training before we get missed."
"Ah," said Teuchi, considering that. Maybe he OUGHT to add a diet ramen. Might bring in more business. "I don't have anything like that. Let's just try some broth first. That's best for people with some infirmities."
