[ Rain is perhaps not the ideal weather to pick to train in- fact that he'd lost a bit of fondness towards it in his last few months back home notwithstanding. Hard to get really good footing, poorer visibility, not to mention cold and wet

[You're not the only person who likes to train despite the weather, Chouji. But once he actually catches wind of Chouji's training, Naruto's going to put his own on hold to watch him from a safe distance. He definitely knows how Chouji fights, but he's never really been around to see him do training exercises or anything.

It's interesting, to say the least. So, you have a Naruto nearby, just chilling out and watching. Don't mind him.]

[ As far as he's concerned, fellow ninja aren't anything to make a big deal of. Especially when they're keeping a safe distance- not that there's all that much he's willing to risk with a giant wolf goddess around to make a chewtoy out of people who mess up the trees.

This particular part of the day holds a considerable lack of human boulders mowing down anything in their path, and more practice with individual limbs. Which is all just fancy-talk for "this conveniently located boulder is going down." ]

[nextgen_hokage]

[And Naruto will watch his maul that boulder. Maybe he'll cut in to talk or something soon. But only once that boulder is completely mauled, because the last thing Naruto needs is to come on over and then get a nice chunk of rock embedded in his forehead.

That shit hurts, man.]

[savethelastchip]

[ Damn, there went his plans- I mean OF COURSE.

It won't take too long to handle this thing, at least, even if there's a pretty solid base now pushed down into the mud forever. The fist, it is returning to normal now. ]

[nextgen_hokage]

[Then it is safe! Naruto begins his approach with a wave.] Oi, Chouji! [He has something important to ask you.]

[savethelastchip]

[ Returning that wave. ]

Oh, hey Naruto!

[nextgen_hokage]

You practicing out here? [Because it's either that or Chouji was taking out his anger on a poor, defenseless boulder.]

[savethelastchip]

[ What anger? ] Yeah, I have been. Can't always wait around for clear weather, right?

[nextgen_hokage]

[Maybe it called him fat. Who knows?] Right! It's pretty good to practice in this kinda weather anyway, to be prepared for it.

[savethelastchip]

[ ...point. THAT ROCK BASTARD. ] You do never know when you'll get caught up in something out here.

[ He's been taking it in stride. ]

[nextgen_hokage]

[Rocks are always bastards. It's why they get destroyed in all these shounens.]

Yeah! [...] So hey, I was wondering if you wanted to have a spar or something? [He meant to ask about that prank, but this is obviously a better choice today.]

[savethelastchip]

[ The fools, always coming back.

...spar with Naruto?

Eh, why not. It could be fun. ] Yeah, sure.

[nextgen_hokage]

[It's one of the sad facts of life.

Naruto just jumps at Chouji's answer. Hell yeah.] Alright! I bet you'll be a great opponent!

[savethelastchip]

[ f-ffffff, Naruto and his enthusiasm. ] Well, I'll try my best to be.

[nextgen_hokage]

[It's how he rolls. Anyway, he's punching his fist into his palm.] C'mon, let's go right now!

[savethelastchip]

[ It's a good thing. ] All right, you've got it.

[ Now space, let's get some before starting. Because it's not a Naruto fight without having room to think for five minutes while somebody runs at you, right. ]
