SAKURA POV
"Recently 3 children were found drifting on a wooden log in a river, paint covering their faces." Hiruzen said once the three had settled. "I believe this is one of the pranks you said you had made while bored." He said, looking at Naruto, who was whistling while looking away.
"I'm not mad Naruto. I just feel like your pranking skills could be put to better use." He said "and so comes the matter of the s-rank mission. Along with you, Sakura and Sasuke I am assigning Yamato, Goji and Akimichi Choza to the mission of turning all the pranks you have set across the village into traps in case of invasions and connect them all to the emergency shelter. You will give the information required for activating these traps to all Chunin and above ninja."
"Eh?" Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura said at the same time.
At this moment A big boned man who looked similar to their friend Choji walked in along with a familiar thin man with a white coat and glasses.
"I should have known you would be here Sakura" the thin man she had been learning under for 5 weeks smiled at her.
"You must be the trio my son talks so much about. I'm Choza, Choji's Father" the other man, now identified as Choza said with a warm smile.
"Alright then." The Hokage said once introductions had been made. "Don't worry about costs or anything since for the duration of this mission I am giving this group access to the village vault, so I'm sure there won't be any issues with that."
Near the river where the children had been found
"Well, this is most certainly...something" Goji said, inspecting a contraption with a magnifying glass. "With a bit of gunpowder, I'm sure we could make this... Explosive" he said.
"Most of the pranks are like this Dattebayo" Naruto said, marking areas where he had made traps on a map of the leaf village.
"So, if we make up a set system then all we'll have to do is connect the tunnels we make and copy the trap we are going to be making" Sasuke said.
"Well then, let's get to work" Yamato said as Choza lifted a giant hammer.
And so, after making his hand bigger, Choza used rock chakra manipulation to dig a rough tunnel in the direction he was instructed to, Sakura smoothened the tunnel's surface and Yamato followed, covering the surface of the rock with smooth wood.
They continued to do this at every prank he had made across the village, Goji installing lights every 10 meters. Sasuke had the idea of putting water and food stock inside preservation seals and storage seals in case those who would be in the shelter might end up being there for a long time.
"Man, I'm exhausted" Naruto said as they ate at Ichiraku's Ramen. Sakura groaned and rolled her shoulder, feeling extremely exhausted.
"Alright we'll meet in front of the hokage tower day after tomorrow at 5pm since I have a mission tomorrow and the academy ends at 4." Yamato said as he paid the bill and body flickered away.
"See you kids" Choza said with a smile as he and Goji walked away.
NARUTO POV:
'It's time I started teaching you how to use some of my chakra' Kurama said in Naruto's brain as he finished his training routine.
'If we try that here won't everyone notice? I'll have to ask Jiji for a place first' Naruto said back to him as he started walking towards the tower.
Once again, he found himself at training ground 1, sitting in the ground in the lotus position, Hiruzen ready with a chakra suppression seal just in case things went wrong.
'Considering your body can't handle anything more than the one tailed cloak, I'll just teach you the stage just before it, the tail-less cloak I guess you can call it.'
Naruto stood back in the sewers, but on a different level, as Kurama called it. In front of him were 10 gates, each one exponentially bigger than the previous. The first gate was orange and had a zero on it, and the last one was yellowish with the number 9. The gates with the numbers four to eight were all red, with 6 and 7 having a few white lines as well.
'These gates represent the chakra cloaks. Till 4 tails It will basically be an orange layer of chakra over you. At 4 your skin will basically peel off, and rather than be covered your body will be saturated in chakra. You will be able to manipulate your body in very different ways and instead of the tails being an addition of chakra they will be a part of you in that form. Don't worry, you can get out of this form with ease, might be a bit itchy though.'
'At six I think some bones might come up. It's basically a basic structure for my body. Should be fine, I think. As for nine I have got no clue all I can tell is it's basically your and my chakra merging as long as you're in that state.'
Naruto opened the first gate, the one with zero on it. In the real world, Naruto opened his eyes to see an orangish aura around his body. It extended to about 2 inches away.
'This basically increases all your abilities. Justus will be stronger and will take less effort and your physical capabilities also increase.'
When he tried to lightly jog, he ended up in a sprint. When he lightly punched the tree, it cracked slightly. When he punched it full force it's top half flew off. His sensory abilities had also increased it seemed. He could feel everything in a 10 meter range of his cloak.
He tried sparring with a shadow clone of Jiji. When the clone sent a barrage of rock arrows at him, he was able to sense where they would hit as soon as they entered his cloak.
After about 10 minutes, he collapsed on the ground, panting and sweating as the cloak vanished.
"Note to self: Cloak takes lot of energy" He muttered as he drank some water from his bottle.
