Naruto was not pleased with his first D-Rank mission. Honestly he thought it was some straight up bullshit. It was even more obnoxious with the nasty old woman glaring at him the entire time he was doing the work. He tried to speed up the mission by using clones but Kakashi quickly put an end to that notion.
"Looks good team, well done," said Kakashi, surveying the final results of their labor.
"I suppose this will due," said the old woman, the widow Koyabano. She couldn't help but give Naruto one last dirty look before signing Kakashi's form and going back inside her home.
"What a bitch!" exclaimed Naruto, his irritation showing clearly on his face.
"Mah, mah, Naruto, no need to speak so poorly of our clients," chided Kakashi.
"She wasn't glaring at you for the entirety of the mission," retorted Naruto, his displeasure still clear.
"Anyway, let's get a move on. We need to turn in the mission then it's time for a bit of team training." Kakashi lead them to the tower and turned in the mission.
Mission Accomplished – D-Rank.
Completion Awarded: 1000 Exp, 1500 Ryo, +5 to reputation with Konoha.
Your level has increased by 1.
Kakashi then led them back to the training field.
"So, these books are for you to study in your own time, I fully expect you to learn them front to back inside of a month," Kakashi explained as he handed each of them a book. He gave Naruto a look warning him not to burn the book in front of his teammates.
You've obtained skill book [Genin Team Tactics].
Would you like to learn the skill?
Naruto tapped the 'Decline (N)' button. He could learn the book once he got home.
"For now, we are going to start with some chakra control exercises," ordered Kakashi. "I'm going to teach you to climb trees."
"But we already know how to climb trees," protested Naruto.
"Not without using your hands," said Kakashi. He then started to walk up a tree in the clearing.
"Cool!" shouted Naruto in excitement.
"So, the idea is to channel chakra to your feet and use it to stick to the tree so you can walk up it."
"How does this help chakra control?" asked Sakura.
"Channeling chakra to your feet is one of the hard places in the human body to do so. Controlling exactly how much you use will make controlling it for jutsu easier so you don't waste as much," explained Kakashi. "This isn't something that once you learn it will make you a master of it. The more you practice it the better your control will get. So, everyone pick a tree and get to work." As he finished he threw a kunai down in front of each of them.
Naruto picked his up and sprinted to the closest tree. He put a foot against it, channeled a little chakra, took one step up and fell on his head.
"You might want to give it a bit of a running start at first," recommended Kakashi.
Naruto frowned at his sensei. "You couldn't have said that before I started?"
"But you seemed so eager to get started," protested Kakashi, trying to look completely innocent and failing miserably since he was actively reading his porno not really paying much attention to his team.
Naruto closed his eyes and breathed in and out trying to clear his head. Naruto rolled backwards from the tree and up to his feet. He focused chakra to his feet again and took a step only to pull up a large chunk of dirt and trip him up when he took a step forward.
"Too much chakra," said Kakashi, still not really paying too much attention.
Naruto glared at the man, trying to shake the dirt off his foot. So Naruto tried again but with a bit less chakra. This time he made it five steps up the tree before losing his grip.
"Better, try to keep the chakra flow even. Too much and you'll break the bark causing you to lose your grip. Too little and you'll slip right off," explained Kakashi, seeing Sasuke have the same problem.
"This is easy," said Sakura from the top branch.
"Well, looks like you have good control. You should look into learning some genjutsu or iryojutsu," suggested Kakashi. "But for now, keep working on it you need to improve your stamina. Your control is only so good because you have so little chakra to control."
Sakura nodded and started running up and down the tree. After about ten times she had to rest.
Naruto went back to grinding at it. Eventually he'd get the hang of it and he'd be racing up and down the tree like it was second nature. For now, he'd take just getting a step further than his previous attempts as progress.
After about two hours of working at it, Kakashi called the team's day over and released them to do as they pleased. Naruto chose to stay and work on tree climbing. Sakura went home to rest. Sasuke also left but didn't say where or why he was going, he just left.
It must have been close to midnight when Naruto finally got it down.

"That's some bull shit, all of that and it barely does shit for my control. What the fuck you stupid ass game?" complained Naruto very loudly.
Naruto was annoyed and now very tired. He'd worked all day to learn this crap and for all that effort this was all he got. "That's it, I'm going home to bed."
