Naruto decided to train somemore. He eagerly headed out to his spot in the woods.

Meanwhile, just coming into the village, Sakura sighed and looked around. She had been trying to tail Sasuke for the last few days, trying to find out where he was going off alone all the time, but he must've known she was following, because he quickly lost her.

"I guess I'll just have to wait for him to come back." Sakura sighed again and headed off down the street looking for something to do.

Naruto quickly ran through the exercises like yesterday, which were twice as easy now that he was bigger and stronger, and started working on his chakra control. He practiced his jutsu over and over again, making sure to get everything right. By the time the sun was setting, Naruto was exhausted, but satisfied. He felt like he had really increased his endurance. He went home happily, took a shower, and went to bed.
