"Hmmm. Flight or teleportation? Hmmm. Maybe a walk through solid objects? Hmmm. Okay."
The dragon's eyes flashed red, illuminating Naruto briefly.
"What was that?" asked Naruto, a little nervously.
"Just prepping for that wish," explained the dragon, its deep voice causing rocks to slide off somewhere in the distance. "Your second wish?"
"I don't feel any different," noted Naruto.
"I haven't granted the wish yet, child. After you've made all three, it may be possible to combine them all in one event."
"Okay," said Naruto. "Hey, if you can do stuff like this, why can't you just escape?"
"My word was given that I would not escape until I was freed," answered the dragon. "Your arrival, unintended as it was, managed to do that."
"Oh," said Naruto, nodding at that. Giving one's word was important. "Well... are you sure Sakura doesn't like me?"
The dragon simply linked the bit about Sakura fantasizing about Naruto being dead, and her getting closer to Sasuke as a result, into Naruto's head.
"Oh," said Naruto. "Could you make her a little friendlier?"
"Child, if you wished it, I could have her and most of the kunoichi of your village trying to cuddle you or bed you or both. If you made it one of your two remaining wishes, I could have it so that she never looked at Sasuke Uchiha in such a way. I could make her your tsundere sister, your best friend since starting the Academy, or your pet. Is that what you want?"
"Uhhhhhh," said Naruto, suddenly picturing those possibilities. Suddenly he DID want something like that. No. It wouldn't be right to do it that way. Though the brief imagination of Sakura smiling at HIM as his best friend DID have a powerful appeal to him.
The dragon sighed and settled down. "Your strength is sub-par. Your chakra control terrible. You have high levels of chakra but as your control is so poor - you can't always draw enough of it do anything and sometimes you overload your jutsu. You are not particularly intelligent, and your skills as a ninja are mostly lacking. Does any of this help?"
"Damn Sasuke," muttered Naruto.
"Do you want him to suffer then?"
"No," said Naruto after a long pause in which he considered being able to lord it over a broken and beaten Sasuke.
"Hmmm. He's your rival then," said the dragon. "He has a formidable advantage. With that Sharingan, he can steal any technique you work out unless it were a kekkei genkai."
"A wha?" asked Naruto.
"Kekkei genkai. Bloodline ability. A talent only you and those descended from you have. He's not the only one you know who has such talents."
"Who else?" asked Naruto.
Images appeared of several classmates.
