Training Sidequest, page1

Inspired by an anonymous prompt in Akki no Ai's "What if" meme: "What if Naruto went to Baki for his fuuton jutsu training, instead of Asuma (and got to see Gaara)?" Except, I thought Gaara himself would have been Naruto's first choice for someone to ask in Suna, since as far as I know Gaara's element is wind, too (or Temari, whose element definitely is wind). But Baki happened to be there (and Gaara's a bit of a busy guy), so Naruto asked him, because I like Baki.
I altered a little the timeline of the manga chapters during which this is supposed to take place, adding a few extra days because it takes a while to get to Suna.

Sorry about your retinas, but this was so much fun to colour I got carried away in a few places with the brightness.


Pens (brush and not) and PaintShopPro7, the clouds are made with my own custom brushes. (And speaking of the clouds, I continue to draw lots of clouds in the sky above Sunagakure because Kishimoto does. I guess it's a less dry spot in the desert.)
