Naruto: Boundless Potential

Two weeks had passed.

And Naruto was dying of boredom.

Kakashi didn't lead the team on any missions during that time not even a D-rank one.

So Naruto had spent all his time either training or studying various subjects in the library, topics he believed would help him in the upcoming Chūnin Exams.

He had already mastered Great Breakthrough, but still practiced taijutsu regularly, though he avoided the training ground like the plague these days.

And there was a very good reason for that.

A few days ago, during an morning stroll

Naruto ran into none other than Guy and Rock Lee again.

And within a few minutes of their encounter thanks to Guy's enchanting words about the Power of Youth, Naruto was dragged into another one of their intense training sessions.

In fact, their morning routine this time was even more brutal than the last time.

Naruto ended up bedridden for two whole days after that.

(¤﹏¤)

Since then, he didn't dare to go near the training ground.

He wasn't taking any chances, he seriously didn't want to be hospitalized again.

But not everything was bad. Some good things had happened too.

Thanks to his consistent chakra control training, Naruto could now walk on water with ease a huge improvement in his control.

He had also finished studying half of the theoretical subjects that might appear in the written exam.

The thing he was most focused on was the completion of his first talent from the panel, and it would be done at any moment now.

He could already sense how much it would improve his chakra control.

His current mastery was around 50%, but with the Precise Chakra Control talent completed, he was excited to see how far it would shoot up.

Maybe 90% he really didn't know.

After this Talent is developed, he planned to begin developing the Kekkei Genkai—Ice Release, which he had postponed until now.

It didn't take long before the familiar golden panel appeared before his eyes, signaling that the talent was now fully developed.

Seeing the new talent light up on his panel, Naruto's face lit up with satisfaction.

"I finally unlocked my first talent," he grinned, clenching his fist clearly excited.

This one was especially important it would finally make it easier for him to learn all the ninjutsu he struggled with before due to poor chakra control.

"Alright, time to see how it works!" he thought, immediately heading toward the nearby river.

But before leaving his house , he tapped the next development on his panel—Ice Release, the Kekkei Genkai he had postponed earlier.

A moment later, development began.

"Two years?!" Naruto stared at the timer, a nervous sweat forming on his forehead as he walked down the streets.

"Man, no matter how many times I see it… it never feels good. These timers are way too long!"

With the Sharingan already in one slot and now Ice Release in the other, it looked like he wouldn't be unlocking anything new for a long while.

Just as he turned toward the lake to test out his chakra control, he was stopped by a loud voice coming from behind.

"Big Brother Naruto! Where are you going?"

It was Konohamaru, running toward him with his usual energy flanked, as always, by Udon and Moegi.

Seeing them, Naruto smiled. "Yoo, Konohamaru! I was just heading to train. What's up?"

"No way! You can't go yet! You promised you'd teach me your special jutsu!"

Naruto scratched the back of his head, confused. "Did I…? I don't remember saying that."

Konohamaru crossed his arms and huffed, "You did! You promised you'd teach me your Sexy Jutsu after you graduated from the ninja Academy!"

"Ahh… right." Naruto sweatdropped. "How about next time? I'm a little busy today."

He really wanted to test out his new talent today.

Konohamaru puffed his cheeks in frustration.

"That's what you said last time! You're a big liar, Big Brother Naruto! Are you going to teach us or not?"

Naruto looked at the trio. They were practically vibrating with anticipation and enthusiasm.

'Ugh… do I really have to teach them that?' he thought.

But after a moment of internal debate, Naruto sighed in surrender.

"Alright, alright. I'll teach you guys the Sexy Jutsu now."

Konohamaru's eyes sparkled with joy. "You're the best, Big Brother Naruto!"

Naruto then quickly led the trio into a nearby forest clearing to quickly show them the jutsu before disappearing.

"Alright, listen up!" he declared, turning to face them with a smug expression.

"Today, your big brother is gonna teach you the most important jutsu in a ninja's arsenal… the Transformation Jutsu!"

"YEAH! Teach us your special jutsu, Big brother!" Konohamaru cheered, eyes gleaming with excitement.

Naruto nodded seriously. "Now pay close attention because this one's a real deal."

With a dramatic hand sign and a confident shout, he announced,

"Sexy Jutsu!"

POOF!

A cloud of smoke burst around him, and when it cleared, standing in Naruto's place was a curvy, scantily-clad woman version of himself striking a bold peace-sign pose with a wink.

Konohamaru's jaw dropped.

"W-Whoa… What kind of transformation is that?!"

Udon's eyes widened, and Moegi's face turned beet red.

"PERVERT!" she yelled, covering her face in embarrassment.

Just then, a loud, scandalized voice rang from the bushes.

"UNACCEPTABLE!!"

Everyone froze.

Out from behind the foliage leapt Ebisu, pointing dramatically at Naruto like a prosecutor revealing evidence.

"Naruto Uzumaki! You can't teach these weird jutsu to master konohamaru sama it's a disgrace to the noble art of ninjutsu!"

Naruto, still half-transformed, blinked. "Geez, who even are you?! Were you… stalking us in the bushes or something?!"

Ebisu adjusted his sunglasses with an overly serious flair.

"Ahem! I am Ebisu, An elite ninja and personal tutor to the Hokage's grandson. I specialize in training only the most promising of genin!"

He straightened his posture, placing one hand dramatically on his chest.

"I was observing from the shadows, as any dedicated tutor would! And what I witnessed just now was..."

He paused mid-sentence, discreetly wiping a small nosebleed from his upper lip, before continuing sternly,

" ...morally corrupt and entirely unfit for children!"
