Of course, if Naruto is going to be the ninjutsu specialist of the team but go a year before learning the kage bunshin, he's got to have a new one, too, probably medium-to-short range since (like I said last time) that seems to be where he likes to fight. A fire jutsu would be most obvious, if he's to be The Leaf's Blazing Orange Wildfire... Maybe the basic Katon flamethrower that Jiraya used to ignite Gamabunta's oil when they were fighting Lizardlips and Manda in the Tsunade arc?

Or something like a Fire Tanker's Blazing Aura power. Hmmm... I'd be surprised if there wasn't a jutsu to let you bind fire chakra to thrown weapons, sort of like a quicker but less powerful version of tying Explosion Notes to them.
And, and, I like the bow idea - mind if I steal^H^H^H^H -borrow- it for Eisha in TGNH?

See Sasuke. See Sasuke fume. See Sasuke fume at the fact that the dobe is picking up fire techniques that were supposed to be _his signature damnit!_ like there's no tomorrow.

Not so much, I think. I mean, yeah, on the one hand, he does have a jealous streak and Naruto -is- an obnoxious, competitive little idiot - but on the other, in this universe, Naruto -isn't- the Dead Last... he's the hyperactive taijutsu prodigy who graduated a full -year- ahead of schedule - a ninja to respect, even if he -is- a pain in the ass.
Hmmmm.
Rikou likes Naruto likes Sakura likes Sasuke likes Tenten likes Neji likes... Rikou? *evil grin*
Ja, -n
