[ Naruto's eyes widen to a size larger than the marbles in Aang's hand; to the size of dinner plates, maybe. Needless to say he's incredibly impressed, even with something as simple as spinning marbles because he can't begin to fathom how it might be done. ]

Ey, I have wind chakra-- can you teach me how to do that? [ He asks before he's really had time to think about the possibility of the request, and powers on before he can waste any time doing so afterwards. ] I can do stuff like.. make my chakra really sharp and quick like the wind, so I can make a big ball of it in my hand and throw it, but.. I can't do stuff like that. [ He points at Aang's hand, clearly jealous.

Sensei kind of missed the simple things with Naruto, instead choosing to dive straight in for the big guns because.. well. Look at him. Little did he know Naruto would have probably got just as much enjoyment out of learning to make palm-sized baby cyclones as he did learning how to turn his wind chakra into a physical oversized shuriken. ]
