In training he would laugh, chuckle, crack jokes at himself and show his spirit and emotion. In battle he kept things bottled, only choosing to take snide verbal shots at his opponents to get the upper hand. She had to rub her eyes a few times as she watched him train, because his actions in training reminded her so much of her deceased younger brother Nawaki.
Gamakichi hopped on her shoulder and looked out at the fight excitedly, "Man my bro is kicking ass out there!"
She unconsciously clinched her fist around her necklace as the battle carried on. Maybe, just one more time, she could believe in someone.

Kabuto pulled out a hooked kunai, "As enlightening as our little skirmish has been Naruto-kun, it's time I put an end to this. Orochimaru-sama is a busy man, we all have work to do."
Naruto nodded and pointed back at Tsunade, "Yep I agree. Right now I have to go drag baa-chan back to Konoha. But I also have a bet to win, luckily for me you're going to help me with that." Naruto snapped his fingers as two pairs of arms shot up from the ground and grabbed Kabuto's legs and arms, holding him in place.
Kabuto tried to shake them off, but the grip was iron, "What? What is this?"
A familiar voice sounded off from behind where he was grabbed. He turned slightly to face the cold eyes of the boy that was also facing off against him across the field, "You didn't think you were the only one who could use Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu (Earth Release: Hidden Mole Jutsu) did you?"
Kabuto looked ahead of him to see Naruto smirking, "Now I've got this new jutsu I was taught, but I never got to use it on any real people before. I think you'll make the perfect guinea pig for me don't you think? With your healing abilities you should be fine… maybe. Meh it's not like I really care anyway."
Naruto charged up chakra into his hand. Kabuto's eyes widened and his struggling increased as he realized just what it was as a blue spinning orb took shape in Naruto's grasp. Naruto strode towards him slowly, the stride turned into a jog and the jog into a sprint as he rushed at Kabuto. He thrusted the attack out and into the exposed body of Kabuto, "Rasengan!"
Naruto ignored the blood flying as the attack tore into Kabuto's body and sent him flying off into a nearby boulder. Naruto turned towards Tsunade and walked with a purpose over to her and Shizune. When he got close a goofy grin appeared on his face, "I do believe you owe me that necklace of yours baa-chan."

Orochimaru's jaw dropped low as he had just seen Naruto handily dispatch his right hand man. A clicking sound brought him back into awareness as he saw Jiraiya holding a camera, "Ah that's a good one."
Orochimaru gritted his teeth, "Such power. He's too dangerous to leave alive! I have to kill him here before he gets too strong!"
Orochimaru flew off of the snakes at Naruto. Jiraiya tried stopping him but was tossed aside, Tsunade's drug had yet to wear off. As he launched himself at Naruto his sword, Kusanagi, emerged from his mouth. Naruto's back was turned to the murderous sannin as he closed in, sword out and about.
As he was talking to Tsunade his senses went off and he drew his sword, turning around in the nick of time just to block Orochimaru's strike. Naruto's eyes widened as he realized just who he was crossing blades with, "Orochimaru-teme, nice to see you again." He noticed the arms of Orochimaru, "The old man really did a number on you back in Konoha didn't he?"
Orochimaru hissed at the boy as he pushed against him, "Just die boy. You'll ruin my plans for the future." He pulled back and began slashing at Naruto who held up his defenses, slowly backing up due to his surprising strength.
Naruto tried to strike back but Orochimaru showed traits reminiscent of his summons as he dodged Naruto's attacks. Naruto had to take great care as he slipped around Orochimaru's strikes, even a scratch from the legendary weapon could poison him, a tactic that Naruto had to somewhat respect, a good way to ensure victory for sure. And Orochimaru knew how to use it, even from his mouth.
As the clang of steel on steel went on Orochimaru landed a kick to his body, sending him flying back next to Tsunade. Naruto gave her a reassuring grin, "Don't worry baa-chan. I'll get rid of this guy and then I'll be dragging you back to Konoha, just sit tight."
Tsunade gasped at the sight of the blonde's grinning face, 'He looks just like Nawaki.' She took notice of Orochimaru hovering over him, Orochimaru thrusted downwards with his sword, Naruto barely blocked the point of the sword with the flat of his own.
Naruto struggled against Orochimaru as the murderous intent in Orochimaru's eyes blazed. Suddenly a fist was implanted into Orochimaru's face, sending him flying a few feet back.
Naruto blinked as he was pulled to his feet by the woman who was just on the ground watching him, "Uh, baa-chan?"
Tsunade was staring out intently at Orochimaru, "Are you okay brat?"
Naruto nodded dumbly, "Yeah baa-chan, I'm just fine."
She smirked at him in response, "Good, because I owe you a serious beatdown for all of this 'baa-chan' crap you're spouting." Realization then covered her face, "Oh yeah." She took off her necklace and placed it on Naruto, "You win kid. You've beaten me fair and square and I'm an honest woman."
Orochimaru stood up and cracked his jaw back into place as he glared out at Tsunade, "Tsunade, what do you think you're doing? Why would you put your life at risk just to assist a brat like that?"
Tsunade cracked her knuckles, "I would risk my life because I am Tsunade Senju, granddaughter of the Shodai Hokage, grandniece of the Nidaime Hokage, and as of today I am the Godaime Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato."
Naruto and Shizune appeared at her side, "You tell him baa-chan. Now let's kick his ass and go home already!"
"Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto landed by his side and drew more blood down Orochimaru's summon tattoo to call upon another summon.
Naruto blanched as he saw Kabuto still moving, "What? I ripped him apart! He should be dead!"
"Naruto!" Naruto rushed off to Jiraiya's side to summon for him, "Bring out Gamabunta." Naruto nodded and summoned for him and Jiraiya.
