Naruto 319

Asuma looks on at an apartment window and tells his team to move out. Inside Kurenai senses something, but when she turns to look out Asuma is gone. At the waterfall, 11 Narutos in trunks stand near the waterfall training. He's annoyed that the water isn't being affected and goes to Kakashi. His sensei explains Naruto needs a lot of chakra in a few clones to split the water, and at its current width it can only fit around 10 clones. He tells Naruto to slow down. Naruto says he won't have such time in combat but Kakashi says he needs to get it down first.

Cutting a leaf would normally take half a year, and it took the genius Sasuke several days to learn to control lightning chakra. Naruto yells he needs to become better than Sasuke. Kakashi whispers to Yamato, who then greatly widens the waterfall. Naruto is surprised and Yamato nearly collapses. He says he's fine but Kakashi notes he barely completed it. Naruto then uses Tajuu Kage Bunshin. Elsewhere Sakura sits in her darkened room. She looks at an old Team 7 photo and begins to cry. Naruto rests and watches the night sky.

He sees a falling star and grasps his necklace, thinking of Sasuke. He sits up determined and does Tajuu Kage Bunshin again. The next morning Yamato and Kakashi watch in surprise as all the Shadow Clones manage to split the water. Yamato can't believe what the training has done for Naruto. Kakashi states it's not just the training; it's his feelings towards Sasuke as well.
