One-Thousand Birds Ch.1!

"Come on Kakashi-sensei! Please!?" A young whiskered boy shouted to an older man named Kakashi.

"No Naruto. I already told you. You need a Sharingan to use the Chidori." Kakashi said sadly.

"Psh, I don't even know why you keep asking dobe. You would only worsen it without the Sharingan." Sasuke Uchiha said smugly. Naruto glanced at him.

"Then why haven't you learned it yet, teme!?" Naruto argued. Sasuke looked at him like he was stupid.

"Are you that stupid? We aren't even back in Konoha yet!" Sasuke yelled back.

Now, you're probably wondering how this started. You see, they had just finished a mission to the wave. The mission went on normally until… (The rest is the same as the cannon.) Naruto has been wanting to learn the chidori since he saw it. It was just… alluring to him.

Sakura took this moment to lecture Naruto about how "Sasuke is right", and "You wouldn't even get the basics!" Kakashi watched this with disdain.

Now, Kakashi isn't an unfair man. He wants to train Naruto more, but the council is forcing him to train Sasuke for completely biased reasons. But now… He saw an opportunity.

Chidori, contrary to popular belief, is not a lightning jutsu. It is a pure chakra move, like the Rasengan. But, with Kakashi's elemental affinity being lightning, it became easier to use with that. That's why Chidori is such a beautiful technique. It can be used with any element, and be just as deadly. But… Only two people knew this… Kakashi and the Yondaime. When Kakashi showed him the jutsu, the yondaime noticed this effect immediately. But back to the story.

Out of every gennin Kakashi observed when making his team selection, Naruto was the only one who had determination, potential, and, most important of all, a pure heart. Kakashi realized on the mission with Obito that he would not live forever. Since then he has been looking over young gennin to become his apprentice. And Naruto was the perfect choice for this task! But how would he get this with the council involved. That was the problem. But here was a solution! He could teach Naruto the original Chidori. The one without lightning! Then, nobody would notice because nobody knew! Kakashi began his plan.

"Actually Naruto, this comes to the team training." Kakashi interrupted. "How?" Sasuke asked. "I will be teaching all three of you one jutsu. This jutsu is one that I thought would suit each of you. This will be your first signature move." Kakashi explained. All three gennin gasped. A signature move!? It was common knowledge that all signature moves were moves that were powerful, and not taught very often. It was tradition that the first signature move a ninja learned was a move that was used throughout their career. They would change it until it became their signature, no longer the one who taught it to them.

Naruto was jumping for joy! This is the first step! This is the first step to becoming the Hokage! All the Hokage's had a signature move! The Shodaime had his Mokuton, the Nidaime has his Suiton, the Sandaime's signature is the fact that he has mastered every jutsu in Konoha, and the Yondaime had the Hiraishin. This would play key factors in his plan. It would increase his power, make him a reputation, and basically give him a starting point to base all of his new jutsu on! Things couldn't be better!

Sasuke was only thinking on how this would help him kill his brother.

Sakura was thinking on how to impress Sasuke with her technique.

Kakashi stopped, causing the team to stop. "Our mission still has two more weeks until return date. So, I am issuing a two-week training mission in conjunction with this mission. Beginning now." That said, he made two kage-bunshins. "Each of you will be training in a different location with these chakra reinforced Kage Bunshins. We will split up now and meet up a mile from Konoha gates in two weeks."

"Why do we have to split up?" Naruto asked. "Because Naruto, it is tradition that no one is present when a signature is being taught." Naruto nodded.

"Ano, sensei? Wouldn't it be unfair if one of us gets the real you while the other two get fakes?" Sakura asked. Three poofs of smoke covered the three Kakashi's, but when they were cleared, nothing changed.

"Can anyone tell me which on is the real me?" All three Kakashi's stated. Sasuke activated his Sharingan, but he was shocked to find that he couldn't tell. 'He meant it when he said "Chakra reinforced"'

"Now then, none of you know which one of you has the real me. That fair?" They nodded.

"Now then, let's move out!" And that's where our story begins.
