Naruto shrugged and put one foot on the tree and took off back up it. His danger sense kicked in and he rolled along the path, a shuriken hitting where he had just been. His focus was lost for about five seconds, and that was enough for him to fall off the tree. Naruto glanced over to Jiraiya's outstretched arm, before plucking the shuriken out from the tree. It wasn't in deep enough to be a major cut had he been hit, at worst; he would actually have to use his medical Jutsu. He dropped the throwing star before starting back up the tree. This time, he was expecting the projectile and leapt out of the way again, barely sticking to the tree.
By the time Jiraiya called it a day, Naruto had been able to keep at it for over an hour. He did have a few cuts, some minor and some that had to be healed right away. While he would usually object to this sort of training, he felt more alert than he had before.
The next day, he started to walk on water. It took him several tries to get it, and a few hours before he could do it as proficiently as he could with the surface walking. The third day was when Jiraiya started to throw things at him, surprising the old pervert by how fast Naruto was learning.
The fourth day of the first week, Jiraiya had Naruto sign the toad contract, and they got to work on summoning. Naruto quickly realized that summoning was not a walk in the park like Jiraiya made it out to seem. It took a great deal of chakra, and concentration. Despite this however, Naruto persevered.
"Summoning!" he cried out, slapping his hand down for the last time that day, sweat pouring off his forehead from the tax on his reserves.
A cloud of smoke obscured his vision, and when it cleared. He fell back onto his ass, laughing at the sight of an orange toad wearing a blue jacket and having black markings. "Yo! I'm Gamakichi! You must be the new Summoner that's been summoning the tadpoles."
Naruto laughed a bit more. "Yeah, that's been me. Naruto Uzumaki." He said holding his hand out to the toad that shook it with his webbed hand.
"So…Got any Snacks?" Gamakichi asked looking around to where he had been summoned, surprised to see the old Pervert. "Pop's been wanting to talk to you Jiraiya, said something about giving you a beating. He's been pissed off most the day, right around the time the kid signed the contract.'
Jiraiya winced some, something that didn't go unnoticed by Naruto. "Something you want to tell me?" Naruto asked tapping his foot a bit.
Jiraiya scratched the back of his neck, muttering about how the blonde was a lot like his dad with that stance. "Okay, Gamabunta, the Toad Boss, liked your Dad as a better Summoner. He's been getting on me in recent years about how I need to take care of you, and train you to be a legend like your old man." Jiraiya said. He couldn't blame the old toad; after all he knew his reputation was somewhat questionable.

Naruto felt a flare of anger. He felt the Kyuubi's chakra swirl around him, flowing into him. Before Jiraiya could speak to try and calm him, Naruto swiped his thumb across his canine, slicing it open and speeding through the hand signs. "SUMMONING!" he yelled out, slapping his hand to the ground, where a large cloud of smoke was seen.
"JIRAIYA! Where are you, you perverted sage?" the form of the giant red boss toad known as Gamabunta was obviously not a happy sight for Jiraiya.
Later
Naruto walked the halls of the hospital, having dropped Jiraiya off after a toad smackdown. Poor fool. Naruto had no qualms about allowing his anger flare over such a thing but he did admit he needed to get it under his control.
"So how's the runt doing?" Naruto heard a beautiful voice and his head turned to look behind him, seeing a woman with her hair done up in a ponytail. Naruto could see the Chunin vest and turned a bit more to get a good look at the woman. His eyes roamed lower, enjoying the sight of her toned legs, and more importantly the firm full ass that begged a man to grab a hold and squeeze it. Granted, he wouldn't do that unless she wanted him to.
"Kiba's fine. A bruised ego and some minor fractures are the worst of his injuries. With Konoha's doctors, he'll be patched up in no time Hana." The other voice was older, slightly more rough but also obviously female. From the room the two women were standing by walked out four dogs, one with an eye patch.
Naruto went over, rubbing the back of his head a bit. "So Kiba is alright?" Naruto asked, knowing it was a bit rude to be walking into their business. "I hope I didn't mess him up too badly.'
Both of the women showed a brief look of surprise. "You're worried you messed him up too badly? That's…nice of you." The older of the two women said. "Most don't think about the fact they're fighting a comrade some times during the Chunin Exams."
Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Well yeah, at the time I didn't think of him as a comrade, or even a friend. But I did hear the sound of something cracking when I kicked him, so I want to make sure he's okay. He's a friend and a comrade, and I don't want to cripple him or kill him just to advance my own career."
The older woman gave a feral smirk. "That's good thinking kid, and Kiba will be fine. I'm his mother, Tsume, and this is his sister, Hana."
