Kushina then directed Naruto to put away some of the things that had been left lying around the house.
"Since there's no school today, what do you usually do?"
Kushina asked.
Naruto sat down on a stool unhappily.
"I don't have any friends. Usually, I go catch fish or play by myself."
Although Naruto knew Shikamaru and the others, he couldn't run into them whenever he wanted.

"You've competed with Sasuke so many times and lost every single one. Don't you know to go out and train a little?"
"You lost the high-jump competition before too. Don't you want to win next time?"
Kushina started guiding Naruto by using Sasuke as an angle of attack.
Naruto cared a lot about Sasuke.
Just two sentences from Kushina reignited Naruto's fighting spirit.
"Uzumaki, you're right. I should train and win next time."

This kid hardly ever went out when he wasn't at school. What was he planning to do today?

It was enough to let Naruto run and jump around on his own.
The main thing was to help Naruto form the habit.
Naruto worked himself hard out there alone,
