Naruto didn't overcomplicate Kazehana Koyuki's training plan.
The entire Naruto storyline's explanation of combat primarily boils down to two points: More is beautiful! Bigger is better!
Who the hell uses Ninjutsu properly? Aren't they all piloting Gundams?
Of course, that's a joke, but it's not hard to see from Naruto's battles that hard power is the most important foundation for a Ninja.
The two strongest Genin in the original work didn't let their rank stop them from sealing Kaguya.
It's not that those Ninja qualities aren't important, but in the face of absolute power, they still seem a bit too pale and powerless.
What's most important for Kazehana Koyuki right now?
It's definitely not Shurikenjutsu.
So, the plan Naruto set for Kazehana Koyuki was: tree climbing and water walking.
Old-fashioned, but effective!
It doesn't matter if you have little Chakra; as long as your Chakra control is high enough, a mini Rasenshuriken is enough to send Kazehana Dotou on his way.
It's another kind of 'might makes right' in a sense.
Naruto himself did it that way; no matter what method you use, I'll just hit you with a Rasenshuriken!
If one isn't enough, then two!
So, during the few days waiting for the film crew to depart, Kazehana Koyuki's only goal was to climb the large tree Naruto had grown in the yard.
Naruto, meanwhile, lay on the engawa sunbathing every day, come rain or shine.
Of course, he wasn't doing nothing.
Every morning, he would split off a Wood Clone with ninety percent of his Chakra, and outside the city, this clone would create dozens, even hundreds, of less Chakra-intensive Shadow Clones.
Half of these Shadow Clones were responsible for training, and the other half for practicing guitar, with the fatigue value completely within Naruto's tolerable range.
After a week, Naruto could already fluently play a dozen beginner-level guitar songs.
And most importantly, his feel for the instrument had begun to develop.
As for Kazehana Koyuki, she finally managed to meet the standard for tree walking.
This speed was slower than Naruto had imagined, but considering she had only recently come into contact with Chakra, it was still acceptable; unfortunately, she hadn't completely mastered tree climbing yet.
After all, she had only just begun to refine Chakra, so her proficiency was still quite lacking.
However, the progress was delightful; perhaps this cramming method of education had worked, as Kazehana Koyuki successfully used the Transformation Jutsu after Naruto casually taught it to her just by watching once.
Then finally, with the actors and props in place, the film crew departed for the Land of Grass.
Over a dozen carriages moved grandly, and the actors seemed a mix of excited and nervous, as they were going to film in another country.
In the Ninja World, apart from the Five Great Nations, other smaller countries were more or less unstable; battles and wars were almost commonplace.
So, for this overseas filming trip, some members of the crew were somewhat uneasy, but this feeling didn't affect their professionalism.
"Go, Shishimaru! Our people need us!"
"Bastard! Don't underestimate the bonds between us..."
During a rest stop on the road, Kazehana Koyuki and the other actors were rehearsing their lines. Naruto merely sat nearby and listened for a couple of sentences, and he got goosebumps all over.
Good heavens, as expected of a movie that could be made in a shonen world, these lines were truly too over-the-top.
And Kazehana Koyuki, perhaps because Naruto was watching, her pretty face quickly flushed crimson.
Finally, to everyone's surprise, she stomped her foot in exasperation and turned to duck into the carriage.
"Hehe... It seems Yukie isn't in a good state. Let's talk about rehearsing later."
Director Okamura Tensai laughed cheerfully and waved to Naruto: "Naruto-kun, come sit down?"
Naruto nodded, walked over, and sat beside the director.
Okamura Tensai put an arm around Naruto's shoulder, looking proud: "Let me introduce you all, Uzumaki Naruto. Don't let his young age fool you; he's the future star of our company! He can compose songs independently at this age!"
"Really? That's amazing!"
"I wanted to ask earlier, where did you recruit this cute little brother? So he's a new recruit from the company..."
A group of actors quickly gathered around, full of enthusiasm.
"But why is a singer following the film crew?" someone asked curiously.
"Miss Yukie requested it," Asama Santayu explained.
He didn't mention that Naruto could use Ninjutsu, even though Naruto hadn't intended to hide it.
However, as a former minister of a country, Asama Santayu knew what could be said and what couldn't.
"Yukie requested it, huh..."
After Asama Santayu finished speaking, the people around him immediately showed a subtle, unspoken expression of understanding.
"Hehe, speaking of which, that girl Yukie is also working very hard..."
"Yes, after all, she's the youngest in the crew. Having a peer around her age to talk to should make her very happy, right?"
"Or maybe she's shy."
"Hahahahaha..."
Everyone burst into laughter, and inside the carriage nearby, Kazehana Koyuki's pretty face was bright red.
"How is it, Naruto-kun?"
Okamura Tensai put his arm around Naruto's shoulder, looking at him meaningfully: "Do you have any thoughts on the film crew's shooting?"
"What thoughts?"
Naruto feigned ignorance.
"Thoughts on acting..."
Perhaps because of Naruto's young age, Okamura Tensai didn't hide his intentions too deeply; Naruto knew what he was planning at a glance from his half-concealed manner.
"No thoughts."
Naruto shook his head; he wasn't interested in acting.
Besides, Kazehana Koyuki's few lines made him cringe.
"But I really think you'd be perfect, Naruto."
Okamura Tensai clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Regardless of age, height, or looks, and you can also use Ninjutsu, which would greatly reduce the difficulty of filming..."
"No, it's too embarrassing."
Naruto shook his head repeatedly. Are you kidding? Do you really think I'm a child?
"I was even thinking of adding a new character, whose identity would be a childhood Ninja friend hidden in the shadows, silently protecting the princess."
Okamura Tensai sighed: "What a pity, this role was tailor-made for you, Naruto. If the response is good, you could even become the male lead in the next part..."
Just as he finished speaking, Kazehana Koyuki suddenly sprang out of the carriage.
To everyone's surprise, she strode up to Naruto and stared intently at him.
"Try it!"
...
With a bang, the Naruto in front of her exploded into a Substitution Jutsu log. The girl, feeling her intentions betrayed, immediately went berserk, searching the entire film crew for him, looking as if she intended to tear him apart.
"A woman's anger is truly terrifying..."
In the treetop, Naruto leisurely glanced at the commotion below, chuckled softly, then turned his head to look at the end of the road.
A Ninja squad appeared in his perception ahead; judging by their Chakra levels, they should be four Chunin, with one of them slightly stronger.
Ninja from the Land of Grass, huh...
Annoying scoundrels.
Crap crap crap! I was sleepy earlier and wanted to nap for a bit, but I overslept! Woke up at 11:30! Crap crap crap! My stable updates for so many days, ahhhhh!!!
