(Hey sorry it took so long to update, I had a lot on my plate with work and school, but don't worry I'll be able to update more now. Also I want to clarify something that might come up later. Naruto is not going to be godlike...He is going to be stronger then normal for sure but he won't be going head to head with jonin. The only reason he matched Zabuza for a bit was because it was a water clone. Which is still impressive but nothing major. Just wanted to clarify that. With that said enjoy the chapter.)
Time skip Next day~
Naruto slowly opened is eyes as the gleam of sunlight shined brightly on his eyes. As he slowly stood up he could feel the sourness from his previous battle is all but gone. He had to admit the nine tailed fox did have some benefits.

Not eating for a day in a half can make a guy pretty hungry.
As he walked into the dinning area he immediately caught the attention of his team who looked up from there meals hearing Naruto come down the stairs.
Aiko was the first one to react, practically jumping over the table to greet her teammate.
"Naruto! Are you awake!" Aiko shouted excitedly, a role of the eyes from Sasuke at her behavior. Though if you looked closely you could see a small smile playing at his lips at the sight of his teammate up and active again.
Naruto looked at Aiko for a second before rotating the elbow that took the most damage.
"Yah, see I'm as good as new." Naruto said in a calmed voice gaining a relived smile from Aiko."That's great, you should join us for breakfast you haven't eaten in a while." Aiko said as she sat back down and gestured to the seat beside her. "You can sit by me, the food is really good." Naruto gave a small nod before he took a seat.
Tsunami walked over and placed a plate of food in front of Naruto, getting a thankful nod from him.
Much to the shock of his team minus Kakashi Naruto removed his mask fully leaving his face in full view of his teammates. Aiko's gaze instantly went to his whisker marks finding them beyond adorable, Sakura looked away while mentally chanting 'Not good looking, not good looking' , though Sasuke just studied his teammates face, he found the whisker marks on Naruto's cheeks to be quite odd but at the same time kinda fitting. Kakashi didn't pay his student much mind, this not being the first time he has saw Naruto's face.
After the Genin snapped out of their shock and continued with their meal making small conversation. Once they all finish their meal Kakashi gathered them up to talk.
"As I said during breakfast Zabuza is still alive and was most likely saved by the fake hunter ninja. That means that he will mostly likely be attacking again once he is fully healed." Kakashi stated with a serious look.
"That is why we will be training to make are selves more prepared for when Zabuza shows himself next. With that said let's go train." Kakashi said with a eye smile.
In forest near house~
"Alright now that we're here I want you guys to climb these trees." Kakashi announced getting curious looks from all except Naruto. "But Sensei, we already know how to climb trees." Sakura said as she looked from the trees to her sensei. "I know. That's why I want you to climb them without using your hands." Sakura looked at him once again with a clueless expression while Aiko and Sasuke had a look of realization. Their father had told them about the tree climbing exercise not to long ago. Kakashi then demonstrated by casually walking up a tree to the top and then back down. He then threw kunai down to the group of Genin. "Use these to mark your progress. Naruto I assume you already know this exercise." Kakashi asked receiving a nod from the Genin. "Do you know water walking?" Kakashi asked curiously. Naruto looked at his sensei before shaking his head. "No, I haven't worked on it yet." Kakashi gave his student a eye smile before he walked over to him. "I think I can give you a few tips." Kakashi then turned to his other three Genin. "I'm taking Naruto over to a lake to work on water walking I'll be back in a bit to check on your progress." With that said Kakashi and Naruto walked off heading for a near by lake.
