He spent an additional four hours questioning Jack before coming to the decision to let it teach Naruto and just monitor the results.
Iruka Umino noticed the results after a week and came to the Hokage with the suspicion that Naruto had been replaced by a substitute who couldn't quite get the role down.
The Hokage smirked and mentioned that Naruto was undergoing special training.
By the end of the second week, Iruka returned to the Hokage's office wondering if any other students could benefit from the training.
The sword was the preferred weapon of the follower of the Xia code. Yet anything that came to hand was also the weapon of such a one.
[No. Naruto. Your style really isn't suited for a sword.]
"But swords are cool!" protested the little boy in question.
[True,] admitted Jack. [But it remains that a sword isn't the ideal weapon for you.]
Naruto sighed longingly at the wall full of slashy/pointy sharp-edged weaponry. He sulked for few moments until he decided to try a different approach. "So what IS the ideal weapon for me?"
[I know the basics of several different weapon types. We can... hold on.]
"Huh? Hey, waitaminute!" said Naruto as the genjutsu came apart.
"So you're using a genjutsu to project a dojo into the student's mind and allow them to train at an advanced pace?" asked Kurenai Yuhi, mulling over the concept.
[Essentially correct.]
"Interesting concept," said Kurenai, deciding to file away the idea and research it herself later. It certainly sounded like it could work.
"Dang it, this is MY secret training," muttered Naruto.
"Be that as it may," said Kurenai. "The Hokage has so far allowed this training while it is being evaluated and a second student would allow us to better assess it."
[Be advised that the more students, the less personalized the instruction. Having one or two extra students in any particular class is still within my capabilities even though it is not an optimal experience.]
Kurenai nodded at the Device, acknowledging the point.
