Prodigy.

Shizune was the one to sigh a little now. "Yeah I guess you are right, I am sure it is just temporary." she said shaking her head. Just as she was about to speak Naruto came back in, halting their conversation. Though she was a little surprised when she saw Tsunade walk in form behind Naruto.

"Lady Tsunade what are you doing here?" she asked as Hiruzen greeted his old student. "I thought I would visit sensei while I had some time away from the hospital. It's an added bonus that I get to see little Naru-chan, I have not seen him since his birthday," she said hugging Naruto from behind and making Naruto smile up at her.

They all sat around the table as they watched Naruto show them he could do they leaf exercise. When he succeeded Sarutobi and Tsunade clapped while Shizune patted him on the back.

As Shizune moved over to speak with Tsunade, Naruto focused on at the stuff on the table.

"Jiji, what are all the scribbles and kanji's for?" Naruto asked as he looked at the equipment on the table and the paper with the kanji written on them. He looked a little interested in them.

"Ahh well this is my calligraphy equipment Naruto-kun. It helps with keeping my writing abilities neat and readable. Plus it is a practice that is great for practicing to write fūinjutsu seals," he explained as he took a brush with a bit on ink on the end and made the kanji for fire on one of the pieces of paper.

Naruto watched in interest. "Fu-Fūinjutsu?" he said aloud with a thinking like pose on his face. "Is that the one where you make thing go poof and put them in another object?" he asked Sarutobi as Shizune giggled into her sleeve at his description.

Sarutobi chuckled a little as well and ruffled his hair. "Yes that is one way to describe it Naruto-kun. It's also a type of shinobi practice your Tou-san and Kaa-chan are masters as. When it comes to fūinjutsu your parents are the best there is."

"Really?" he asked with slightly wide eyes as Hiruzen nodded. "Are you good at fūinjutsu too jiji?"

Sarutobi tapped his chin as he thought it over. "Well I am not bad I guess. Do you know how the art of sealing works Naru-chan?" he asked but saw Naruto shake his head. So Sarutobi explained while Shizune listened in on the description.

"Well fūinjutsu is a type of jutsu that seal objects, living beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object. Fūinjutsu can also be used to unseal objects either from within something or someone."

"That you are already aware of," he said as Naruto nodded, prompting him to continue.

"Well with fūinjutsu there are ten levels on sealing with level one being for beginners and then level 10 being for masters. Your Kaa-chan and Tou-san are both level ten fūinjutsu masters and are most likely the only level ten fūinjutsu masters in the world. Jiraiya meanwhile is a level eight, Tsunade seven while Kakashi is a level six."

"Whoa that so cool," Naruto said getting a nod from Sarutobi. "So then what level are you at, it must be pretty high because you're so strong." "Ahh well while I am not as good at sealing like your parents or Jiraiya, I do know my way around seals and I can spot a great seal when I see one. My fūinjutsu skills are a level seven like your Baa-chan."

"Cool," he said as he looked at the equipment before turning back to Sarutobi. "Could you teach me jiji?" He asked surprising the former Hokage before he smiled and nodded at the request.

"I can however, before you learn about sealing you need to have a steady hand and be able to write and draw neatly and elegantly. That way the seal will be able to work. I can teach you calligraphy first as a first step." he said with Naruto nodding.

Putting a few large sheets of paper in front of Naruto and giving him a brush and small pallet of ink he guided Naruto with what to do. Though he knew Naruto had good hand writing for someone his age, he knew it was better to practice and get the symbols spot on since one wrong marking could lead to a disaster.

"Okay Naruto-kun first we will start easy and will draw the kanji for fire that I did moments ago. I will go slowly so you can follow the movement." he said as Naruto nodded and tipped his brush into one of the ink pallets.

Naruto watched as Sarutobi's brush glided along the paper and Naruto slowly and carefully did his best to follow the movements.

From the side Shizune and Tsunade were watching with interest since they were wondering when Naruto would gain an interest in seals. Considering his Uzumaki blood and who his parents are it was almost required for Naruto to have a strong interest in the art of sealing.

Naruto's tongue poked out of his mouth showing how hard he was concentrating and made licked is lips a little. After Hiruzen finished the symbol he placed his brush down and looked at Naruto's who was just finished the last part until he made the last little swish movement with his brush. Like Sarutobi he placed his brush down.
