"Training?"
Inside the training ground, Uchiha Yue smiled at Uzumaki Naruto and said, "I know a thing or two about basic training. I remember the owner said your name was Naruto, right? Training this late at night—could it be that..."
"You're a ninja?"
"Hehe, of course!"
Uzumaki Naruto rubbed his nose and grinned. "I'm a ninja, and the man who'll become Hokage someday! Hey, mister, if you don't mind, how about we train together? Having someone around is better than having no one around!"
"Sure, then let's train together."

Uzumaki Naruto had clearly never seen such a strange training method. Was simply sitting still considered training?

He didn't understand training at all!
Silently grumbling to himself, Uzumaki Naruto curiously stared at Uchiha Yue for a while before quietly beginning his own training.
It had to be said that ever since his days at the Ninja Academy, Uzumaki Naruto had been a hardworking child. No one knew just how grueling his training was, nor did anyone know that he trained until late every day before returning home to rest. At the Ninja Academy, most people only knew Uzumaki Naruto as an idiot, a dead last.

As for being dead last...
Well, Uzumaki Naruto really was dead last!
It was only a Clone Technique, yet no matter how long Uzumaki Naruto
