"What do you mean?" Iruka asked curiously.
"For three jumpsuits at old man Hasegawa's, it costs me fifty-thousand Ryo." Naruto replied.
"Why that …!" Tenten seethed, "How dare he actually charge money for those…hideous excuses for clothes?! I'll tell Oyaji about this!"
"What can he do about it?" Naruto asked curiously.
"He's the Chief of the Konoha Ninja Suppliers Guild." Tenten explained, "He always cracks down hard on people who sell cheap crap to the Shinobi Forces or Academy Students. And Hasegawa isn't a registered member of the Guild, so he's in deep shit."
"Heh. Serves him right." Naruto smirked, "Ah well. These will do for now. Next is weights, I think?"
"Yeah. Got just the ones." Tenten reached into her pocket and pulled out what looked like four black sweatbands.
"Sweatbands?" Naruto asked with a sweatdrop.
"Nope." Tenten shook her head, "They have special Fūin on them that allows you to alter their weight. Theoretically, you could make them as heavy as a mountain, though you wouldn't be able to move."
"Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked dubiously.
"She's not tricking you Naruto." the scarred chunin told him, "Most chunin use chakra weights very similar to them for training. Four of them, Tenten?"
"If he wants to improve his body equally, then he has to have one for each limb." Tenten pointed out, "Lee only has two that he wears on his legs, but he does ridiculous weight training for his arms to compensate for that. This way, Naruto can train his arms and legs equally."
"True, but they are expensive." Iruka countered, "A set of four costs fifty-to-sixty-thousand Ryo."
"As he's purchasing the last of a stock item, I'll discount it down to forty-thousand." Tenten offered.
"Done." Iruka shook hands with her, "Naruto, pay her."
Sighing a bit, Naruto took out Gama-chan and counted out his spare cash, all seventy-thousand Ryo of it, into Tenten's hands, plus an extra five-thousand for the rest.
"Thank you for your purchase and please use Higurashi's for all your Ninja Tool needs." Tenten rattled off on automatic, "Naruto, could you write down your address here so I can deliver the shoulder plate once Oyaji's engraved the emblem onto it."
"Sure." Naruto scribbled the address down on the proffered piece of paper.
"Oyaji and Kaa-san won't be back until the day after tomorrow and he'll take his time with the engraving, so you won't get it for at least a week." Tenten informed him.
"Meh. It's going to be my ninja outfit once I graduate, so it's fine." Naruto assured her. Graduation wasn't for another eight months or so, so the delay wasn't significant.
"Right then. Naruto, do you have a sealing scroll?" Iruka asked.
"Just the one you gave me, Iruka-sensei." Naruto took it from his pocket.
"Do you remember how to seal things?"
"Pulse a very small amount of chakra into the seal in order to seal or unseal anything." Naruto quoted, "The larger the item or the more items you are trying to seal, the more chakra is required."
"Well, well, you do listen." Iruka marvelled, "Only use slightly more chakra than normal for sealing this lot, alright?"
"Right!" Naruto touched a finger to the paper, which Iruka had stacked with the clothes, and channelled the smallest amount of chakra he could into it, making the clothes vanish in a small cloud of smoke.
"That was cool." Tenten remarked, "Most people have to use their whole hand to do that. Me included."
"If I use my whole hand, the scroll implodes." Naruto shrugged, "I have so much chakra that it can't be controlled easily. Hell, the whole 'Leaf Exercise' thing doesn't work because the leaf shred itself as soon as I touch it with chakra."
"Seriously?" the bun-haired girl asked in disbelief. Naruto held out a hand to Iruka, who sighed, took out a leaf and gave it to him. The blond placed it on his forehead and, as he'd explained, the leaf was shredded into tiny pieces.
"Have you tried Tree Climbing or Water Walking?" Tenten asked after she recovered from her shock, "They are more advanced chakra control exercises that you don't usually learn until you're a Genin, but it looks like you'll have to start from the top down."
Naruto looked at Iruka. "Sensei?"
"I'll have a word with Hokage-sama." he replied, "Normally, Academy Students are discouraged from learning anything that advanced unless they're from a Clan like the Hyūga, but I think he'd make an exception in this case."
"Yatta-Dattebayo!" Naruto cheered. Today rocked!
