Night-time
Jiraiya and Kushina were currently inside the hotel when Naruto came through the door. The two had waited for him all day and Kushina began to worry if she overdid it with the seals, but they were both relieved and worried when they saw him. Naruto's face was covered in bruises and his clothes were in tears. He really looked like he had seen better days.
Kushina and Jiraiya wondered what he had been doing and Naruto smiled.
"Kaa-san we're gonna be training tomorrow so get ready," Naruto said and immediately dropped to the floor.
Jiraiya turned to Kushina and chuckled while he held his stomach.
"He's always been the impatient type. You were the same way you know," Jiraiya said and Kushina lightly pouted at Jiraiya being mean. The Sage sighed and picked up Naruto then placed him on the bed. The blonde was knocked out cold if his snoring was anything to go by.
"He must have been training with his clones. No wonder he's so beat up," Jiraiya said and Kushina widened her eyes. She might have slightly underestimated her son's resolve. Kushina walked up to him and ruffled his hair while her finger traced his jawline.
Kushina giggled as she watched her son twitch to her movements, but then decided to stop. She ran her fingers over his whisker marks and smiled again. She just couldn't stop smiling now that she was with her son. Naruto muttered something and shifted on the bed and unintentionally grabbed Kushina's hand.
The redhead smiled and turned to see Jiraiya going to sleep also. Kushina turned out the light and got into the bed with her son. This made her giggle only because she never figured at her age she would still be sharing a bed with her son, but seeing the circumstances she could understand and she would rather be with her son than Jiraiya not knowing what the perv would try on her. Kushina kissed her son's cheek and closed her eyes allowing the sleep to claim her. She'd never been so peaceful in her life.

One Week Later
Naruto was back in the training field with Kushina going over his taijutsu. Naruto told her about his training with clones and that trying to get adjusted to the seals would take too long and he didn't want any time to get lost on this trip. Kushina nodded in understanding and went a little ahead of the schedule that she planned for herself and Naruto.
Naruto had gotten somewhat used to the seals on his body. He could at least walk for the most part and slightly run, but it still had his problems as Kushina said he would.
Currently, Naruto was doing his stretches with Kushina as they got prepared for another day. Kushina told Naruto that his speed would also increase if he was more flexible so she was helping him with that. Naruto was doing the stretch where his legs were spread out while he sat on the ground and stretched forward while Kushina pushed him lower with her hand.
"Kaa-san you're killing me," Naruto said and Kushina giggled.
"No complaining Naru-kun," Kushina said as she pushed him lower to the ground. Naruto gritted his teeth at the pain he was feeling and he heard his bones snap multiple times.
"So...what are we working on now?" Naruto asked trying to grit his teeth through the entire stretch.
"Well after your warm-up I'm going to tach you the correct posture for holding your sword, then after that I'll show you a few movements to my taijutsu. You might not get it right away, but I've got the perfect method with which to show you," Kushina said and Naruto nodded with a smile, but not before he screamed as he felt his back give way to the pain he was feeling.
After his warm-up, Naruto sat on the ground and watched his mother stand in front of him. Kushina smiled as she wanted her son to pay close attention.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," Kushina thought and immediately a clone appeared next to her making Naruto widen his eyes. Kushina smiled at his shocked face while Naruto sputtered nonsense like he was trying to confirm what he just say.
"K-Kaa-san how did you do that? You just did my technique with no handsigns," Naruto said with his eyes completely focused on his mother. Kushina chuckled and rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Well Naru-kun let's just say that I have a perfect control over it," Kushina said and Naruto's eyes widened again. If he could learn that, then he could surprise so many people that he'd have enough time to do other things. He had to get his mother to teach him how to do that.
