Two days after meeting Haku, Naruto and Sakura ran through the Nami Seacave again, both earning a much needed level.
"So I can do whatever I want with the points as long as I'm grouped with you otherwise they will be automatically distributed?" she asked, studying her status screen yet again.
"Yep," he replied, distributing his own points into getting his WIS to 50 and VIT to 49, he'd train up the other point in VIT later, he wouldn't be able to do much with either WIS or INT until he got back to Konoha and he wanted to get his base points to 50 across the board for now at least.
"I see," she said, carefully studying her points. Finally she put a few points into her VIT and DEX. Suddenly she cheered . . . shrieked loudly just about deafening Naruto in the process.
"What the hell?" he asked, wriggling a finger in his ringing ear.
"My status changed," she said.
"Really?" he asked. "What did it change to? Never mind, I'll look for myself," silently using [Observe] a moment later.

Haruno Sakura is the smartest student in class. Though very intelligent she is not very physically gifted. After becoming a Genin and being forced to face certain realities she done some significant growing up starting with putting away the silly and childish crush on Sasuke. The question remains whether or not she can repair the relationships in her life she has damaged as a result of her Fangirlism.
"Medic, nice!" said Naruto appreciatively.
"Thank you, Naruto. I owe you for helping me out."
"If you really want to thank me-"
"Not a chance," she said flatly before he could even finish.
"But Sakura-chan," he whined.
"What next? We can't clear the sea cave for another three days right?"
"Yeah, for now we should push for the bonus stat points," he said.
"Bonus stat points?"
"Yeah, every time you gain a level you can train to gain an additional stat point in each category.
"So I can gain twenty points in each status point?"
Naruto shrugged. "Maybe, it depends on if you've already earned bonus stat points."
"So how do we start?"
"Well, for STR points, sit-ups and push-ups seems to work but it takes more reps the higher the point level. For VIT, running seems to work just fine but like STR, you have to run longer the higher the point level is. For DEX I usually use the academy obstacle course but there are plenty of trees around here for us to use, we'll just have to be creative. INT requires studying and WIS requires strategy type stuff, I like playing shogi against Shikamaru."
"So, we can train our STR, DEX, and VIT here but really need to go back to Konoha for the others huh?"
"We can see if Tazuna has a shogi board and set when we get back to his house tonight but I'm not counting on it." Naruto explained as he began some light stretching.
"So what do we start with?"
"VIT, it will be a good warm-up, we can run to the bridge and back a few times, that should be enough for me to get my point and maybe a few points for you," he instructed.
Sakura had a look of worry on her face but nodded acceptance anyway.
Naruto started the run at a fair pace so Sakura could keep up. Sakura did keep up, running just behind him.
It took eight laps from the bridge to Tazuna's and back for Naruto to gain his point. Sakura ended up only running six of those laps, having to stop and rest every few laps, still, she gained five points for her efforts.
Naruto was surprised when he had an addition blue window appeared with the VIT point award.
A well rounded shinobi is a dangerous shinobi. By obtaining a base of 50 points in each stat you have obtained the passive ability 'Well Rounded'.
[Well Rounded (Passive) LvMax]
Allows the user to gain an extra bonus stat point for every five levels he's earned.
Now it was Naruto's turn to shriek in joy.
Sakura looked sharply at Naruto for interrupting her rest. "What has you so happy?"
Naruto grinned. "I gained a new passive ability," he replied.
"Oh, what's that?"
"[Well Rounded], it allows me to gain an extra bonus stat point every five levels. It's kind of bad ass huh?"
"So you can gain another four points to all of your stats?"
"Yeah, I'm awesome," he boasted happily.
"So, we'll be training like this for a few days then huh?"
"Probably, we both need to, to be honest."
"I suppose," said Sakura, looking at him doubtful as to whether or not she'd be able to keep up with the training.
"Don't worry, we've got plenty of time to train this stuff up and work on our skills."
And it was true, they were able to train quite a bit. Once Kakashi was back to full strength a week after he first went down with chakra exhaustion, the man decided that himself and two of the genin would accompany Tazuna to the bridge while the third member stayed behind to protect Tazuna's family just in case Gato tried to pull something underhanded. Even with that they were able to get in plenty of training.
