(Three Days Later)
Naruto (age 13) was presently by himself at one of the training grounds away from the village. He was practicing all of the snake fighting styles and jutsus Anko taught to him along with his own fighting styles. Later he summoned thirty clones and started fighting with them fiercely as though he was in actual combat. His clones being as versed in his fighting styles made them more of a challenge.
After a long and rather brute sparing battle with the clones and puffing all of them out of existence, Naruto decided to take a break and catch his breath. While sitting down at one of the trees for shade, Naruto thought back to what happened after the sealing repair was completed…
(Three Days Ago; At The Hokage Tower)
Naruto, Sandaime, and the three Suna Siblings were on their way back upstairs to the Hokage office. While walking there silently, Naruto converse with Yondaime.
'The sealing was a great success Naruto,' Yondaime said, 'I'm proud and impressed by your accomplishments.'
Thanks, Naruto replied, But I couldn't have accomplished the entire process through if it weren't for both yours and jiisan's help. Doing the actual work of applying that new seal on top of Gaara's defected one was more of a challenge than I gave it credit for. I knew it would be long and complicated, but I didn't expect for it be longer than I counted on.
'Not everything in life is as we expect them to be,' Yondaime replied, 'Just like your use with Shunshin. The way you use that jutsu, one would assume that it was my Hiraishin.'
I know, Naruto agreed, But it's not. When I use that jutsu to teleport with Gaara to that location far and deep in the forest last night, I was able to do so because I was teleporting from one jutsu marker I placed in that forest to another and to another and to another. Months earlier, I placed those jutsu markers in a path form some distances from each other through the forest which allowed me to speedily teleport from marker to marker until I reached my destination.
'A clever substitute for the Hiraishin,' Yondaime noted.
But still not as powerful or as fast, Naruto replied, As you already know, Shunshin is only a D-rank jutsu that only allows me to travel at shorter distances than the Hiraishin, which is an S-rank jutsu that would allow me to move over far larger distances with ultra-super speed, far faster than Shunshin.
'Well Hiraishin is a jutsu of my creation which I will teach you in due time,' Yondaime said, 'And speaking of jutsus, how are those two new prototype fuuton and medic jutsus you've been working on in secret for the past year coming along?'
I'm still working on perfecting them, Naruto replied, Months earlier, all of my previous tests and experimentations on that new medic jutsu have failed and I haven't gotten the new seals I'm creating quite right yet.
'…,' Yondaime continued to listen.
However, Naruto continued, After mastering that learning and experience absorption jutsu jiisan taught me few months ago with kage bushin, combining that with healing chakra will make a breakthrough in the medic field for sure! As for my new fuuton jutsu, it's nearly perfected but I still have to practice it with my wind affinity.
'You remind me of myself back in my days when I spent all that time trying to create and master the Rasengan,' Yondaime said, 'After much hard work I finally did it and I'm sure you will as well with that new medic and fuuton jutsus you're creating.'
Thanks, Naruto replied before ending his conversation with his father as he and the others with him entered the Hokage office, Tsunade and Shizune already inside awaiting their arrival.
"I trust that the process was a success, yes," Tsunade greeted as everyone entered and closed the door behind them. Gaara nodded and confirm, "Yes. Naruto has lived up to his promise to me. My seal has been completely repaired."
"Excellent," Tsunade nodded.
"We dispatched a few ANBU to retrieve their Jounin sensei Baki," Sandaime spoke up, "Gaara requested this before we discuss the matter of the SunaOto invasion any further."
Tsunade nodded again in understanding. It was long when Baki was led to the Hokage office where everyone else awaited him. The Suna Jounin entered the office without meeting any hostility from either the ANBU, or the two Hokages were looking straight at him with Naruto standing next to the desk from the right and Shizune was standing next to Tsunade from her left and Sandaime to Tsunade's right. The Suna siblings were standing together to the left opposite of Naruto. Tsunade dismissed the ANBU, leaving them alone in the office.
"I'm assuming you know why you were brought here Baki-san," Tsunade spoke. Baki nodded, "It's in regard to the repair of Gaara's seal and the invasion my village has planned with Otogakure."
She nodded, "My son has successfully repaired Gaara's seal. From what I was told Gaara promised to tell Naruto everything about the invasion should the seal repair prove to be a success. But my son learned of the invasion before Gaara verbally told him anything."
"Yes I know," Baki confirmed, "There's no point in lying or attempting to escape the truth."
"Your Kazekage is planning on invading our village and is using the Chuunin exam as cover for his operations," Tsunade stated
"Yondaime Kazekage-sama," Baki began explaining, "Joined forces with Shodaime Otokage in his future attack on Konoha in hopes to teach Kaze No Kuni No Daimyo (The Land of Wind's Lord) a lesson and to re-establish the Sunagakure's military force."
