"Nice work, kid. Now, let's see you control it. Let's see if you can put out the candles." Asuma lit the candles again.
Naruto's clone blew a breeze of wind at the candles taking out two of them, followed by Asuma lighting them again. It followed this pattern for a while. Naruto had to replace the clone a few times because it depleted its chakra. Eventually he did complete the quest.

"Alright, that's enough for today," said Asuma, collecting the mostly burnt down candles and sealing them in a scroll.
"It wasn't too bad, was it?" asked Naruto, looking eagerly at Asuma.
"Nope, not bad at all. We have plenty more to work on. I'll join you and Jiraiya-sama tomorrow morning so be ready to work." With that Asuma dispelled the clone sending all of the knowledge back to the real Naruto.
The real Naruto meanwhile kept himself very busy trying to gain 29 points of strength, vitality, and speed. The only thing he wasn't training was his dexterity simply because for that he needed trees or an obstacle course. It was going to be a long night to be sure.
So it was a tired, exhausted Naruto that dragged himself home at nearly midnight. Mission accomplished but boy was he hurting for his efforts. He may have over done it.
The walk up the stairs to his apartment seemed like an insurmountable obstacle. Opening his front door he was assaulted by the sound of bickering.
Inside were Karin and Sakura both were waiting for him.
"Finally, she's your problem now," shouted Sakura, nearly sprinting from the apartment.
"What did I miss?"
"You jerk, what's the big idea? You tell me we're family and that you're willing to do the tests to prove it then as soon as the preliminaries end you disappear."
"Ah, sorry about that, Karin-chan," Naruto said sweetly, trying to suck up and spare himself a beating.
"I guess I can forgive you . . . if you get me a date with that pretty boy Neji."
"Wha . . . ?" Naruto's jaw dropped in disbelief.
Karin suddenly cackled. "Oh, you should see the look on your face, it's too funny."
Naruto grumbled a bit at being pranked like that but he was too tired to retaliate. "So, it might be a few days before I have the free time to go get the testing done. You're welcome to hang out until then."
"Yeah, that's not really going to work," said Karin. "My team is supposed to leave first thing in the morning so . . . if we don't resolve this before then I'll be in really big trouble."
"Right, then to the Hokage's office we go," said Naruto, turning about face.
"Isn't it a bit late for that?"
"Shit," grumbled Naruto, turning around again. "Okay, so we'll have to go first thing in the morning."
"Great, you take the couch, I'm going to bed," ordered Karin, turning and walking into his bedroom and closing the door behind her.
"What the hell just happened?"
You have slept on your shitty couch. HP & CP are 50% restored.
Naruto groaned as sleep left him behind. He was a bit slow to sit up and stretch, he could still feel the sprung springs impressed upon his back and legs. It itched something fierce as his skin decompressed.
"You know you live in a shithole right?" asked Karin, exiting the bedroom wearing one of his t-shirts.
"Yeah, I know," said Naruto, standing from the couch and walking into his kitchenette and grabbing some eggs and ham from the refrigerator to cook for himself and Karin.
"So why don't you move?"
"Jinchuuriki," he answered bluntly. It was a rough way of telling her but if he couldn't tell his family and still be accepted then what was the point?
"Which one?" asked Karin.
"Kyuubi."
"Ah, I thought your chakra felt funny. Like mine but different."
"What do you mean?" asked Naruto, cracking the eggs into a mixing bowl.
"I'm a sensor, a very strong sensor or so I've been told. I can tell stuff about people based on how their chakra feels, like your teammate Sasuke for example, his chakra feels tainted, bitter and really angry but also really sad and lonely. Or Sakura-teme's is bright and bubbly and very delicate, probably why she's such a good medic. Yours feels a lot like mine but different, probably because of the Kyuubi."
"That is very cool, could you teach me?"
"I don't know, I just kind of do it. I don't know how but I just do."
"Oh." Naruto frowned a bit that he couldn't learn the skill, it was a little disappointing but not the end of the world.
