"To defend against the entire Hyuga clan would certainly require great power," mused the dragon. "Either that or an absolute defense that would protect you from their sight. Hmmm. Is that your third wish?"
"Eh?" asked Naruto, remembering the dragon's assessment of his skills earlier. But really, being weak compared to a dragon? He'd certainly heard enough about his lack of smarts from the Academy - and both Sakura and Sasuke would do that too.
Come to think of it, hadn't he heard ALL of those comments at one time or another?
If he got a wish, wasn't this the time to address that?
"Yeah, I wish I was strong enough to fight her entire clan if I had to, smart enough to figure out how to do what I got to do, and had chakra control better than Sakura! (See how SHE likes being Dead Last!) AND that I had some ninja skills that were downright awesome! Can you do that?"
"Your wishes were heard. I'm now working out how to grant them," said the thoughtful-seeming dragon. "The ability to escape this prison, a powerful kekkei genkai that Sasuke Uchiha or other Sharingan users cannot copy, and the means to defeat an entire elite clan of ninja. Interesting. For a mortal who hasn't lived to see thirteen summers, you intrigue me, child."
"Oh?" asked Naruto, peering into the darkness.
Here.
"What's here? I can't see anything you know."
Granting all three wishes in a tidy package. Fare thee well, Naruto Uzumaki.
"Huh?! Hey wait, I still can't see nothing!"
Kakashi Hatake looked down the hole. Pakkun looked down the hole.
"Yeah, he went down here," said Pakkun. "I ain't going down though."
Kakashi picked up a rock, held it over the hole, then listened. Then he fumbled in his belt, snapped a chemilight, then dropped THAT.
"I can tell you that goes down pretty damn far," offered Pakkun. "And smells of old musty reptile for some reason."
"Well, great, Naruto's dead," griped Kakashi as he saw the glowing chemical stick disappear in the distance. "On a golfball collecting mission. Now I've got to break the news to the rest of the team. Sasuke will be mad."
"Well, the loss of a team-mate is always hard," said Pakkun philosophically.
"No, it means we get a fail for the mission on his permanent record," said Kakashi.
Kakashi turned away from the hole to go see to those tasks, which meant he missed it when Naruto left his "grave."
