"But Sakura-chan . . . this going to be awesome!"
"Not happening," she said firmly, then turning and walking away.
Naruto pestered her the entire way back to Tazuna's but her answer didn't change.
You've slept in a bed. HP & CP are 75% restored.
Up early and quickly fed, the young shinobi met up with their sensei, this time by the dock just outside of Tazuna's house.
"So, today you'll be learning to walk on water," started Kakashi, leaning heavily on his crutches. "You push chakra to your feet like in tree climbing but this time you want to push against the surface instead of trying to stick to the surface. Any questions? None great, I'll be inside if you need me." Kakashi didn't even wait around a minute for them before he crutched back inside the house.
"And you're sure he's not lazy?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah, only on a technicality though," said Naruto. "Anyway, I'm going down the coast a bit to do this training."
Sakura frowned that he didn't want to include Sasuke but when she looked toward the boy of interest, he was already walking down the coast in the opposite direction from Naruto. Eventually she ran to catch up with Naruto.
Naruto couldn't help but smile when Sakura chose to join him for training rather than chase after Sasuke.
"You came," said Naruto.
"I did," she replied. "I figure that training with you will be my best chance of improving, especially with your gamer ability."
Naruto grinned a little at her. He quickly formed a team and invited her. "Well then, ready to get to work?"
"Sure am."
Naturally Sakura got the hang of water walking almost immediately, only two or three tries and she was walking on it like a pro. Naruto decided to try the clone method and created fifteen of them and set them start trying to learn. The good news was that if they fell in they didn't dispel. The bad news was that it only took a minute before they dispelled from chakra loss anyway.
Naruto refilled his chakra, spawned clones and tried it again. Then again. And again. Thankfully Sakura was willing to heal him while he was trying to learn the new skill and it gave her more practice. Naruto finally got the skill just before lunch but it was enough to put him in a good mood.
A special skill has been created through a special act.

Naruto frowned at the description, it wasn't any better than tree climbing and it was considerably more expensive. "That is a costly training skill," groused Naruto.
"Yeah, it's not very cheap is it," said Sakura. "However, I can't think of too many circumstances in which we'll have to use the skill other than for training."
"Except for now?" asked Naruto, a wry smirk.
Sakura conceded with a nod. "Except for not but honestly, how often are we going to find ourselves in this specific situation?"
"Probably not too often but still, it'll be costly if we ever have a prolonged fight similarly."
Sakura shrugged. "Not much we can do about it except improve it. As we level it, the cost to use it will reduce slowly but surely."
"Fair enough I suppose, now are you up for an adventure?" asked Naruto, grinning cheekily.
"Maybe, why? Did you find something?"
"One of my clones found something," he said. "One of the ones that made it furthest off the coast before losing balance and falling in saw an underwater cave. It swam down inside of it and found there was air inside. Want to explore it?"
Sakura gave it some honest thought before answering. "I suppose we could. Did your clone find anything in it?"
"Dispelled just after it got inside," he replied.
"Okay, but let's heal up and restore our chakra first just in case."
Naruto nodded his agreement and refilled his chakra then allowed Sakura to heal him.
Both healed up then waded out into the water and dove under, Sakura following behind Naruto as he swam toward the cave. The entrance was fairly large and the tunnel itself was a bit long but not so much that either of them ran out of breath. The tunnel turned upwards and they swam to the surface and into a large cavern that glowed blue with a bioluminescence from above them. If one were to look closely they would see the glow originated from small glowing snail shells.
"So pretty," said Sakura, looking around the cavern.
The cavern eventually narrowed toward a tunnel that glowed with the same bioluminescence.
"Ooh, tunnel," said Naruto, pointing toward it.
"Let's check it out," said Sakura.
As the pair walked toward the entrance and pop up warning appeared.
Nami Seacave – Many sea-dwelling creatures have made this cave their home. The chakra naturally produce by the snails that cover many of the various surfaces have mutated these inhabitants making them more aggressive and more dangerous. Recommended Level: 20.
"This could be fun," said Naruto, swallowing nervously.
"Are you sure we can handle this?" asked Sakura.
"Of course, and if it gets too difficult we can just leave," he replied.
"Alright, but don't make me regret this."
