** - Thoughts

Yamato *S-Such power*

Sai - It seems Naruto hasn't rested at all.

Sakura - There's no choice. He has to complete his new Jutsu and then we have to head out to back up Kakashi Sensei and the others.

Sai - The time limit is 24 hours, huh?

Sakura - It'll be tough, but all we can do is believe in Naruto. After all, there's nobody who can work as smoothly with Kakashi Sensei and the others as us.

Yamato jumped into the gaping crater where Naruto was.

Naruto - All right. It's almost complete. And now I can catch up to Sasuke.

Yamato - Indeed you can However, watch out for Sasuke's fire Change in Chakra Nature. I guess I should explain the comparative strengths of the Five Great Changes in Nature to you.

Naruto - What are comparative strengths?

Yamato - Well, put simply, I guess it means the five changes in Chakra natures of fire, water, earth, lightning and wind are each connected and have comparative strengths.

Naruto - So what does that mean?

Yamato - It's easier to explain with a diagram. There are five main Changes in Chakra Natures. First you draw FIRE WATER WIND EARTH LIGHTNING - the five in a circle.

Naruto - Right.

Yamato - And for example, take the first one, fire I'll draw comparative strengths and weaknesses in this diagram. This fire Change in Chakra Nature is strong against the wind next to it, but weak against water on the other side. The Five Great Changes in Nature have strengths and weaknesses in relationship to each other.

Naruto - Uh Okay. So?

Yamato - *He's not getting it* Simply put Naruto your Wind Style Jutsu is weaker than Sasuke's Fire Style Jutsu in relationship. Only Water Style can beat Fire Style.

Naruto - Why can't Wind Style beat Fire Style?

Yamato - It may be quicker to imagine them. Wood burns hotter when wind blows. However, the fire can be put out when water is poured on it. That means if you strike one of Sasuke's Fire Style Jutsu with a Wind Jutsu of the same strength, it'd backfire by making the fire even larger. However, look at the relationship of wind. Wind is indeed weak against fire, but it is strong against lightning. In other words, that means your new Jutsu will be strong against Sasuke's Lightning Style Chidori. Naruto It's a good thing you don't have the earth Change in Chakra Nature.

Naruto - So I'm a good match with Sasuke, huh?

Yamato - Yes, only wind can defeat lightning.

Naruto - No, that's not what I meant.

Yamato - Hmm?

Naruto - I mean only the power of wind can help fire by making it an even larger power.

Yamato - Yeah, that's right

Sakura and Sai jumped into the crater

Sakura - Naruto! You're awesome.

Sai - It looks like your training is going well.

Naruto - I guess.

Sakura - Then you'll be finished soon, right?

Naruto - Yeah.

Yamato - No, just a minute. Could you give me a little more time? There's still something I want to test out.
