You have slept in your bed. HP & CP are fully restored.
There was something to be said for sleeping in his own bed. For the first time in a week he was able to sleep in his own bed, Karin finally had her own apartment. Next door to him but still, her own. Not his. Hers. And it was wonderful. He loved his cousin like a sister, definitely, but they were both so alike they seemed to constantly get under each other skin and then there were the pranks on each other. It may as well have been war and kami save anyone caught in the crossfire.
Naruto was happy to get up and start his day with a shower and clean clothes. He was even excited to start cooking breakfast, [Rice and Grilled Fish], just for himself. No nitpicking cousin to complain about his cooking.
"Morning," said Karin, walking in to his apartment without even bothering to knock. "What's for breakfast?"
"Um, you have your own place now, don't you? Why aren't you cooking your own breakfast?"
"Meh," she replied, shrugging noncommittally.
"What does that mean?"
"It means, why would I cook when I have a slave living next door that will happily cook for me just so he can gain a little experience for his cooking skill? Plus, Ero-Sennin should be here soon to pick us up for training."
Naruto sighed in defeat. She was right . . . and it made him want to cry.
So, he prepared four servings, knowing that Asuma and the pervert would be showing up before he finished. And just as predicted Jiraiya snuck in through the window, taking a seat without saying anything, the man was massaging his head trying to alleviate some of the obvious hangover he was suffering. Asuma at least knocked before walking in.
Breakfast was eaten in silence, everyone enjoying the meal.
"So what's on the agenda for today?" asked Naruto, pushing his empty bowl away. Training the last week had been intense. In addition to Asuma's regular training quests, Jiraiya started giving them out as well, the result was two additional levels and a shit ton of skill experience.
"So far we've focused on your ninjutsu and summoning training and you've capped your bonus stat points for the time being. Based on your quest, you still need a few more jutsu but also some [Fuinjutsu] skill levels. So today, we're going to burn through those levels, I already picked up an [Advanced Fuinjutsu] skill book for you, you just need to spend the time grinding and I've got a few formula's you might like."
"And again, I'll take a handful of clones and Karin to train," Asuma added.
"Take Kichi too," said Naruto, summoning the tiny toad and forming some clones.
"Yo, what's up bro?"
"Training again, little buddy," answered Naruto, holding out small candy for him.
"Am I going with smoke stack again?" asked Kichi.
"Yeah, Ero-Sennin is going to help me with my [Fuinjutsu]."
"Cool, good luck, bro," said Kichi, the little toad then jumped landing atop one of Naruto's clones.
Once Asuma and Karin were out the door with clones and toad in tow, Naruto looked to Jiraiya. "So what are we really doing?"
Jiraiya grinned. "Caught on did you?"
"Just a guess, but you could have my clones doing this work. So what do you really plan on doing?"
"Alright kid, I'm a spymaster. Do you know what that entails?"
"Gathering intelligence without being caught," said Naruto.
"Partly, I also manage a number of assets outside of Konoha that gather intelligence for me, some do so for revenge, others do it for money, and some do it for the thrill and danger of it. But the point is, knowledge is power," explained Jiraiya.
"So you're going to teach me to spy?"
"Exactly, and who are we going to spy on?"
"My opponents," said Naruto, catching on to what Jiraiya was pushing for.
"Yes, and maybe some other interesting characters, like that Kabuto fellow you raised suspicion on during the exams."
Naruto nodded. "How do we start?"

"You can start with this," he said, pulling out a scroll from inside his vest and tossing it lightly to the boy.

Would you like to learn the skill?
"Transparency skill, what's this do?"
"It's a technique I made years ago. In fact, it's the first original jutsu I ever made. This is the perfect spying technique," he boasted, he then ran through a few quick handseals turning completely transparent.
Naruto blinked several times, trying to see him, the only sign Jiraiya was there was the slight distortion of things seen through him. "That is pretty awesome." Naruto hit the button to accept.
You've obtained the skill 'Toton Jutsu'.
