Unraveling secrets: the first step: shaping the protagonist
Ch 2- Raido Namiashi
Hi guys, I am back with the second chapter of Naruto: shinobi of the leaf. My exams for class 11 are coming up so I don't think I can weekly post chapters, but I will try for twice this month. I am really hyped for this chapter as this where our hero's training will begin.
Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto, if I did I would be filthy rich.
Saga- prologue saga.
Arc- prologue arc.
"Thank you Raido, you really saved the boy's life" said the Hokage.
"No problem Hokage-sama, it was my duty" replied Raido with a short bow.
The hokage puffed a weed and released a deep sigh, Raido couldn't see the Hokage, known as kami no shinobi now, all he could was a miserable old man, who didn't know what to do anymore.
"Do you think it will leave an effect on the boy?" Hiruzen asked a rhetorical question.
"Of course Hokage-sama, coming so close to death at such a young age will definitely leave a very bad impression on him" answered Raido.
"And you were pretty harsh on the boy who came so close to death, don't you think so?" asked Sarutobi.
Raido twitched uncomfortably.
"I was just stating the truth, sir" said Raido.
"Be that as it may, you shouldn't forget that he is just a child" said Sarutobi sternly.
"I am sorry sir" said Raido.
"I know how you feel Raido, you feel that they do not deserve him but he doesn't know that he is a jinchuuriki" said Hiruzen.
Raido merely nodded, still not expressing any emotion, Hiruzen knew he didn't feel much remorse, Raido truly hated the villagers.
"Sir, clearly this assassination was planned by the village council; won't you take any action against them?" asked Raido while trying to suppress his anger. He hated the council.
"We don't have any evidence against them" said Hiruzen.
"But…" tried to protest Raido.
"The village council has come to tremendous power after the kyubi incident, they have some influence the shinobi council now" said Hiruzen in a disdainful tone, he too wanted to crush the council but over the reconstruction period, and Kizashi Haruno's leadership abilities made the civilian council this strong.
"I understand" said Raido but Hiruzen could see that his fists were clenched due to frustration.
"Raido, there is a favor I need of you" said Sandaime.
"Yes, my lord" said Raido.
"There might be another murder attempt on the boy, of course I will do everything I can to stop something like that from happening again…but I would like you to teach him how to protect himself" said Hiruzen.
"But my lord that would be partiality" said Raido.
"I am just asking you to teach him self-defense in order to protect him from this type of assault again" said Hiruzen.
"But I don't think I am the right man for this job Hokage-sama" said Raido.
Raido wasn't fully convinced, seeing that the Hokage sighed and took another puff from his weed.
"Raido, I know that you, Genma and Iwashi always protected Naruto when he was being attacked by the villagers, after all you three were the fourth's Hokage guard platoon members and the only ones along with Kakashi and Jiraiya to know the fourth's secrets. Along with Kakashi you three protected Naruto to the best of yours abilities. I can trust you with this because I know whatever you do will be for Naruto's welfare" said Hiruzen.
"But my lord, Kakashi is more suited for this kind of job than me, he was the fourth's student and he is way more skilled than me. And besides…I am an assassin, I don't think that…I can teach him defense well" said Raido.
"It is precisely because you are an assassin you will know what to teach him for his defense and Kakashi…still feels guilty for everything that happened…so I don't think he is suited to teach Naruto" said Hiruzen.
"I see" said Raido.
"So you will do it then?" asked Hiruzen hopefully.
"I don't have any other choice, do I?" murmured Raido, "but I will only teach him enough to protect himself".
"That's alright, that is why I gave you this job in the first place. You will neither be biased nor be ignorant to him, I can say that much" said Hiruzen with a smile on his face.
Raido bowed and disappeared with a leaf body flicker jutsu.
With Naruto:
Naruto slowly opened his eyes, he saw the whitish blue ceiling, and he then noticed that he was lying on a bed, he slowly sat up straight.
"You are awake" said a feminine voice.
Naruto turned his head towards the voice and noticed a female was standing leaning against the wall near the door.
She has long brown hair that is cut in a hime-cut style and is divided over her forehead, where she wears her forehead protector. She is wearing a white coat over her Konoha flak jacket. She was hardly 19-20.
"Who are you?" asked Naruto.
"I am Hakui, a medic-nin" answered the girl named Hakui.
"Where am I?" asked Naruto.
"In the Hokage tower" said Hakui.
"What happened to me?" asked Naruto.
Hakui frowned.
"Don't you remember?" asked Hakui.
"No, I remember everything until I talked with that scar-face, but how did I end up here?" asked Naruto.
"You fell unconscious due to blood loss Naruto" said Hakui.
"I see" replied Naruto.
"Wait here, I am calling Hokage-sama" said Hakui as she went out of the room.
Naruto was a bit surprised, that medic lady was not talking to him in a disdainful tone, and she was talking to him in a professional tone unlike many villagers.
He could hear footsteps nearing towards the door now.
"Naruto my boy, are you alright?" asked the Hokage as he nearly dashed towards him with a worried expression on his face.
"Don't worry jiji, I am alright" said Naruto flashing his foxy grin.
"Hakui, how is he?" asked Sarutobi.
"It's alright Hokage-sama, there is no grave danger. He is perfectly alright" reassured Hakui.
'Of course, most of the wound was already healed by the time he came here' thought Hakui.
"Thank you Hakui, you came even when I summoned you without notice" said the third.
"No Hokage-sama, it was my duty. It was my pleasure to be of service to you" said Hakui bowing before Hiruzen.
"You can go now Hakui" said Sandaime.
"Yes sir" said Hakui with another bow and walked out of the room.
Hiruzen didn't want to hand him to the hospital as he didn't trust them to properly tend to the boy's wound, that is why he summoned Hakui, a young medic-nin whom he trusted very much.
Hiruzen sat on the chair near the bed, his face showing concern.
"Naruto…" said Hiruzen not knowing what to say.
AS soon as the medic-nin went out, Naruto's eyes had become moist; he didn't get it, why? Why did they hate him? Why did they call him demon?
"W-why jiji, why was I…" his voice trailed off as tears streamed down his face, unable to contain his emotions, unable to keep his mask anymore he broke.
"Naruto…it was not your fault boy, Iwana was a fool, he didn't understand anything, it was not your fault" said Sandaime Hokage trying to comfort him.
"But then why, why do they hate me old man?" asked Naruto.
"There are people who don't want to move on, they don't see the truth and make stupid decisions which cost them. It is not something you should blame yourself for" said Sandaime. He didn't have anything else to say. The time had not come for the boy to know the truth.
"Why am I the one who suffers dattebayo? He was my teacher, sure I didn't like his mean looks but why did he try to kill me. What have I done wrong jiji?" asked Naruto.
"Naruto you are a good boy, those people might not see it but I do. I don't hate you my boy. There are others who acknowledge you as well. Don't worry about fools like them" said Hiruzen.
"Are you telling me the truth jiji, you...do like me jiji, I-I hate being alone jiji. Nobody in the slums are nice to me but they don't hate me jiji, I can live there, b-but I can't take this anymore" said Naruto and reached for the boy.
Hiruzen couldn't stand Minato's boy being such a mess. He hugged the boy and gave him the warmth and comfort he desperately needed.
'It's my fault, Raido had a mission today and the others were busy. I should have assinged some other ANBU to look out for him. To think the council would resort to this in the end, I swear on my title that they are going to suffer, I couldn't protect him when he was kicked out of the orphanage, the time was not favorable for me to assign anyone permanently to look out for the boy when enemies lurked in shadows trying to take advantage of the yondaime's demise. Not anymore, I need to protect him at all costs' thought the third Hokage.
"Old man, I can become Hokage…can't I? Then everyone will acknowledge me dattebayo. I can do it right" asked Naruto rubbing his eyes.
"Of course you can" said Hiruzen with a reassuring smile.
Naruto smiled.
"Naruto, I have decided that you should be taught self-defense to protect yourselves from this kind of messy situation" said Hiruzen.
"You mean I will be attacked again?" asked a horrified Naruto.
"No but…just in case, think of this as training to be Hokage" said Sarutobi.
"Yatta, wait for me jiji, I will definitely take your hat" said Naruto and started jumping in his bed, he was cheerful again.
"Ho ho I will be waiting boy" said Hiruzen but on the inside he was frowning, he knew Naruto wasn't entirely convinced. He was attacked my his own teacher for kami's sake, the Hokage was not a fool, not even the happy go lucky Naruto could switch gears so fast.
"Who will be training me jiji?" asked Naruto.
"You met him, he was the one who save you, Raido Namiashi, an elite bodyguard" said Hiruzen.
"NANI?" shouted Naruto so loudly that it was heard throughout the village hidden in the leaves.
A week later:
"Why did I end up with you?" asked Naruto animatedly pointing towards Raido as they walked down the streets.
"Stop bitching about it, it was not my choice" said Raido rubbing his spiky hair in frustration.
"So, where are we going anyway scar-face?" asked Naruto.
A tick mark appeared on Raido's forehead but he kept his calm and ignored him.
"Are you deaf, I'm asking where are we going?" asked Naruto again.
"Just follow me brat" said Raido coolly.
"Damn scar-face, I bet that scar ruined your chance with girls" muttered Naruto under his breath so that Raido couldn't hear him but apparently he did as a vein popped on his forehead again.
Naruto didn't want to follow the man who ridiculed his dream but he wanted to see what he will be taught too, in the end curiosity won over pride as Naruto followed Raido around.
5 minutes later:
They stopped outside of a weaponry shop, it was Higarashi weaponry. The outside of the shop was light brown colored and there was a glass door at the entrance.
Naruto knew why they were here, the place was only for shinobis, but Raido brought an academy student like him here, he knew why, but to keep his mask, as if it was his second nature he asked
"Why are we here? I have brought my supplies scar-face. I don't need to buy anything else".
Raido looked at him, his eyes narrowed.
"You are not a complete idiot; you should have figured it out yourself" said Raido.
"H-huh?" came out of Naruto's mouth.
"Don't give this bullshit, I don't care about your damn mask but don't you keep your annoying persona around me" said Raido as he walked into the shop.
Naruto stood there, bewildered. Unlike what everyone thinks, Naruto isn't a complete idiot, he keeps his annoying persona to gain attention. It was his second nature, he thought probably the old man knew about it but why this son of a bitch knows about it.
Come to think of it, when he was being trash talked by this asshole yesterday he mentioned his mask right…of course he did, it slipped of Naruto's mind because of his anger and the circumstances took place yesterday…But how?
Naruto slowly walked into the shop, he didn't know that the 4th Hokage's guard platoon and Kakashi always watched him.
There were two to three shinobis present in the shop who didn't even glance at him which was strange itself! He expected glares or sneers but they didn't pay him any mind.
He noticed that there were different weapons showcased in the shop. As he turned at the right corner he saw Raido talking to a muscular built man who had short black hair and black French cut beard, he was also wearing sunglasses, he was wearing a black shirt which was unbuttoned showing his muscular chest which was visible through the sweatshirt underneath, he was also wearing a black trouser.
"Will this suffice Raido?" asked the man.
"Yes, thanks Higarashi" said Raido.
Naruto noticed that Raido was buying a kunai and shuriken set, many explosion tags and ninja wire for him, there were 20 smoke balls too and also a black waist pouch, Naruto had a worn out pouch so Raido was buying him a new one.
Naruto took out his Gama-chan to pay for them.
"You don't have to pay" said Raido as he took out 450 ryo (45 dollars) and handed it to the man known as Higarashi.
"But…" Naruto's voice trailed off, he didn't expect kindness from this guy who said his dream was pathetic, he felt grateful on the inside.
Before he could say something though Higarashi cut him off,
"Ah, so you are young Naruto-kun".
Naruto looked at the middle-aged man, he had to admit that he looked pretty handsome for a middle-aged man, he was sure that he was a hit among women.
Naruto nodded, he was again taken by surprise. The shopkeeper didn't jeer at him or chase him out; he just smiled at him.
"Sorry Higarashi, the shops don't treat the boy well, and he can't use the blunt weapons the slum sells" said Raido.
"Don't worry about it, the Hokage agreed right" said Higarashi.
This was the reason why Naruto was brought here, honestly he didn't think scar-face cared about it… maybe he isn't that bad.
Raido and the Hokage guard platoon didn't know about him being thrown out of the orphanage, after being informed by the Hokage Kakashi and they constantly watched Naruto and protected him, while Raido didn't show it, he was happy to train him. But as the Hokage said, he had to act like a professional; he didn't want to teach Naruto more than he needed to know.
If given the chance Genma and Iwashi would probably teach him everything they know, and Kakashi still feels guilty about everything, so Raido was the right man for the job.
"How about this one Raido?" asked Higarashi; in his hand was a bokuto. It was katana-sized tachi styled bokuto.
"This is perfect" said Raido.
"Why are you buying me a bokuto?" asked Naruto.
Raido looked at him and smirked.
"I am going to train you in kenjutsu" said Raido.
Naruto was barely able to contain his excitement, he refrained himself from jumping with joy. He was grinning, finally someone will be teaching him something.
"This will be 1200 ryo (120 dollars)" said Higarashi as Raido handed the money to him.
"Thanks" said Naruto to both of the man as Raido handed the pouch with all the weaponries and the bokuto to him.
"All you have to do is to come here whenever you are out of stock" said Higarashi.
Naruto was too busy gaping at the bokuto and touching it.
"Dad, I am back" said a feminine voice from the back. Naruto knew this voice; he looked back and saw Tenten coming in the shop.
She has dark brown hair and eyes; she wears her hair in two Chinese-style buns on her head with short fringe-bangs framing her face.
Tenten's outfits serve as a reference to Chinese culture. She wears a pink sleeveless qipao-style blouse with red sleeve trimmings and yellow fastening buttons and dark green pants. A pouch is adjusted to her thigh and her forehead protector and sandals are both blue.
Naruto remembered her; she passed the genin exam previous year. He didn't know her that well, all he knew that she had excellent accuracy with weapons and was the favourite student of Iwana.
"Good morning" said Tenten bowing to Naruto, she glanced at the bokuto Naruto was carrying before going to greet Higarashi.
"Ah you are back, how did the mission go?" asked Higarashi.
"It was fine dad, I am going to take a shower" said Tenten and disappeared out of sight after taking a right turn.
"Well then, I'm off" said Raido as he took a step towards the exit glass door and motioned Naruto to follow him.
"Come again" said Higarashi and waved at them.
"So where are we going?" asked Naruto as they went out of the shop.
"Let's see, training ground 13 then" said Raido.
"Where is it?" asked Naruto.
"You'll see that is where I go to hone my skills" said Raido.
"Hmm" said Naruto.
5 minutes later:
They reached a large clearing hidden by large trees where there were many wooden logs for practice; it was nearly 11:30pm, Naruto was really excited for his training.
"First do a transformation jutsu" said Raido.
"Ok" said Naruto and the hand seal. He was surrounded in a puff of smoke, as the smoke dispersed in place of Naruto there was a blonde girl with vivacious breasts and perky nipples; she had a very nice figure with dripping wet pussy and nice ass.
For a moment Raido stood in silence.
"OHHH" said Raido as blood gushed out of his nose and he fell to the ground with his body twitching madly.
"Sexy jutsu success" said Naruto/Naruko with a victory sign.
Raido slowly stood up wiping blood from his nose.
"T-that is a very useful jutsu indeed" said Raido.
"Told ya I'm awesome dattebayo" said Naruto flashing a foxy grin as he dispelled his transformation.
"But can you do any other transformation?" asked Raido.
Naruto sweated, he can't do any other transformation except his special transformation.
"How about substitution jutsu?" asked Raido frowning.
Naruto slowly shook his head.
"I see" said Raido.
"But I thought we were going to cool sword stuff" retorted Naruto.
"Shut up brat, you don't know the usefulness of the basics" said Raido a bit annoyed.
"How about the clone jutsu?" asked Raido.
Naruto didn't answer, that was his worst jutsu as he normally couldn't produce a single clone, even he did produce one the clone was so horribly bad that even a kid could differentiate between the real and the fake one.
"Alright then, the first exercise we are going to do will be leaf concentration practice" said Raido.
"What's that?" asked Naruto clueless.
"Do you ever pay attention to classes?" asked Raido very annoyed now.
"Nope" said Naruto frankly.
Raido sighed.
"Alright I will show you how to do this" said Raido.
Raido picked up a leaf from the ground and placed it on top of his forehead. He concentrated chakra to the leaf and made it stick to his forehead for a while, then he took it off his forehead.
"You can use control to make it stick to any part of your body" said Raido, "the key to this exercise is concentration, the more the better".
"Boring" pouted Naruto.
Raido's eyebrows twitched as he tried to hide his frustration.
"If you can do this properly then your basic jutsus will drastically improve" said Raido.
Naruto didn't look impressed.
"How about this then, if you do this well I will teach you a very cool jutsu" said Raido.
"Really?" asked Naruto, it certainly piped his interest.
Raido nodded.
"Okay, this will be a piece of a cake dattebayo" said Naruto and picked up a leaf enthusiastically.
15 minutes later:
"Damn it all" said Naruto as he failed the 10th time.
"Your concentration is very poor" remarked Raido who was sitting with his back against the tree watching Naruto with mild amusement.
"Shut up" said Naruto.
Raido slowly stood up again.
"Alright then, it's time for next training" said Raido as he drew a bokuto which he brought along.
"Finally" said Naruto as he drew his bokuto and took a very clumsy, inexperience stance.
"Then, how should I use it?" asked Naruto.
Suddenly Raido disappeared from his view, he rolled his eyes in shock.
Suddenly, with his honed instincts he quickly tilted his head to the right and dodged Raido's attempted stab at his face, even then Naruto staggered backwards before regaining balance.
'I couldn't see him' thought Naruto in surprise.
Naruto felt a sharp pain in the left side of his face, he touched his cheek and felt as a hot liquid in his hand, although he dodged, Raido's bokuto still grazed his cheek causing a swallow cut.
"W-what are you doing?" asked Naruto in shock.
Raido again disappeared and reappeared in front of him, his bokuto raised in his right hand he slashed horizontally from his head to stomach but Naruto still couldn't see his hand nor adjust to his speed swayed backwards avoiding the blow with his wild instincts which he gained over the years.
He avoided mortal danger using his unbelievable wild instincts and flexibility. Naruto had one thing which was very useful to him, 100% control over his body, very few people have this ability, many times what you tell your body to do it won't do it, you sometimes can't make your body function as you want or it functions a split second late, but Naruto gained this 100% control over his body because of his past experience, his reaction time and flexibility were top-notch which supported his instincts making it possible for him to avoid blows which he couldn't even see.
But that doesn't mean he was avoiding damage completely though, his body was bruised and cuts all over his body. His orange jacket was torn in many places and he still hadn't got a single chance to even raise his bokuto. All he could do was barely avoid the mortal danger by the skin of his teeth.
'Damn, damn, damn this asshole, this sadistic bastard is enjoying himself dattebayo' thought Naruto as he barely jumped out of the way to avoid a vertical slash.
'What should I do? I don't stand a chance against him' thought Naruto grinding his teeth.
'Raise it, raise your bokuto Naruto' thought Naruto and clumsily parried a stab aimed at his chest.
Naruto still staggered backwards because of the power of the blow.
'This won't work, what should I…that's it, match his pace' thought Naruto.
Naruto couldn't properly see Raido's fluent moves but because he was constantly trying to follow Raido he could see his moves a bit now, his eyes were slowly being adjusted to Raido's moves.
'That's it, this son of a bitch is fast but he is using the same pattern, if I can guess his next move properly then I can block or at least parry it, no matter how pathetic it is I will continue to preserve dattebayo' thought Naruto.
For the first time he predicted Raido's move and as a stab was aimed at his left side of his face, he brought his bokuto up and blocked it at the point of contact, but Raido's power was greater which he realized with their previous clash, so just as their bokutos made contact, Naruto rotated the axis of the guard of his bokuto a small bit making Raido's bokuto slid of his own which resulted in the bokuto going toward a different direction (in other words, nice parry) as Naruto slid inside Raido's guard.
'Before he can draw back his bokuto, STRIKE' thought Naruto and gripped his bokuto with both of his hands and went for a stab at his chest.
For a moment he was sure he saw Raido smile.
Raido disappeared from his view again by increasing his speed level one notch, before Naruto could turn around though Raido had already clearly struck him at the back of his head. Naruto drifted into unconsciousness.
'Unbelievable, as I thought he has inherited his mother's kenjutsu talent. That was a very nice warm up for me' thought Raido.
Of course Raido held back by a significant amount, if he used his katana 'Kokuto' he would have died a 1000 times by now, and besides he made his blows predictable for Naruto.
But still…what Naruto did was truly amazing and terrifying.
'Orthodox styles won't suit him, his style comprises of unpredictability using his reflexes and flexibility, and his impressive body control' thought Raido.
'Things are going to get interesting'.
At 8:30pm:
"How was it Raido?" asked Sandaime.
"He gave me an abysmal performance, but something interesting may just come out of it" said Raido.
Hiruzen chuckled.
"We may need that style sir" said Raido.
"I will contact Jiraiya about it" said Hiruzen.
"He surprised me for a moment, I didn't think he would have that much knack for kenjutsu" said Raido.
Hiruzen again chuckled, but then his expression darkened.
"How is he Raido?" asked Hiruzen.
"Honestly it is difficult sir, there is his mask which makes him look like a retarded piece of shit, pathetic excuse for a shinobi" said Raido.
"Raido" said Sarutobi sternly.
"Sorry sir…couldn't resist, if we take the 'idiot' mask of him then there is his laid back, jovial, funny character where he isn't smart…but at least not an idiot. I think that is his true nature sir but it is my guess that he has another side of him…a much darker side which finally came to him after the pervious incident. Originally he already had enough darkness in him which he shoved aside…but the final element which was added to it was the Iwana incident which gave rise to his darker side, not cruel side…I think some part of him is cunning and shrewd sir but…".
"You don't think he is unstable" said Hiruzen.
"Yes my lord, it is clear to me that he is not someone to be broken down from this, besides having a laid back, jovial yet shrewd and cunning personality which he hides might be for his best" said Raido.
"I see" said Hiruzen.
"Besides sir I think he already has figured it out" said Raido.
Sarutobi rolled his eyes.
"I think he already knows the true reason why you sent someone to train him, he should have figured it out that I am there to check his sanity" said Raido.
"You think…" said Hiruzen.
"It's pretty obvious, for protection you could have assigned ANBUs to look after him which you did without telling him, then why did you assign someone to train him anyways. Sir I told you that no matter how idiotic he pretends to be he isn't one, he isn't intelligent but he is smart enough to figure this out" said Raido.
"But then why hadn't he asked me? I knew that he was wearing a mask but that doesn't mean he could actually fool me" asked Hiruzen.
"He is shrewd sir, he will be starting to investigate about it sir, I think it is time for him to know. He knew everyone hated him, but despite what happened Iwana's actions gave me a clue. If he starts checking his background, he might get to the things he shouldn't know...things like his heritage " said Raido.
"It's hard to believe though, Naruto…shrewd" said Hiruzen.
"Sir he is still a child, that is why he wants to gain acknowledgment by becoming Hokage, no matter how his dark side turns out to be from now on, that mentality alone shows his kindness, he isn't after revenge after all this, just acknowledgement" said Raido.
"You are right, alright then…after he becomes chunin I will reveal the truth about his status to him" said Hiruzen.
With Naruto:
He was lying in the bed with a swelling in his head, blank eyes, frowned expression, and dried tears in his cheek.
'Who are you kidding jiji, what are you hiding from me?'.
Jutsu list:
1) Body flicker jutsu (Shunshin no jutsu) - The Body Flicker Technique is a high-speed movement technique. By using the Body Flicker Technique, a ninja can move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. Other elements or substances can be used instead to distract the opponent: Leaf body flicker, sand body flicker, wind body flicker, water body flicker, and ink body flicker.
Ninjutsu, general skill, D-rank, Supplementary.
Hand seals- Tiger.
2) Transformation jutsu (Henge no jutsu) – Given all the missions ninja are assigned to- battle, intelligence gathering and diversions -this is a priceless ninjutsu. It is typically used to change into people other than oneself, but one also has the ability to change into animals, plants and even inanimate objects like weapons. This gives this technique abundance of uses. The transformation of a skilled shinobi will be exactly like the genuine article, so it will be impossible to tell the two apart. On the other hand, a transformation performed by an inexperienced person will have obvious discrepancies. It will be impossible to deceive anyone with it. This is one of the basic academy-level jutsu, such as most shinobi know how to perform it. This is considered the most difficult basic ninjutsu to perform among the E-ranks since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form.
Ninjutsu, general skill, E rank, Supplementary.
Hand seals- Dog - Boar - Ram.
3) Substitution jutsu/Body replacement jutsu (Kawarimi no jutsu) – With this technique, users replace their own body with some other object, generally with block of wood, the moment the attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in enemy's attention or flee from the battlefield. Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise. Despite it being a basic academy-level ninjutsu, it is seen useful art that can be applied in a variety of situations as it allows for a swift getaway from danger. This technique even allows a restrained shinobi to escape capture.
Ninjutsu, general skill, E rank, Supplementary.
Hand seals- Tiger - Boar - Ox - Dog - Snake.
4) Clone jutsu (Bunshin no jutsu) – A ninjutsu that creates an intangible copy of one's own body, without any substance. Since the clone itself doesn't have the ability to attack, and thus can only be use to confuse the enemy. It is mainly used in combination with other ninjutsu. It's a basic academy level technique, but depending upon one's ingenuity, it can only be used effectively. The clones may not dissipate when they come in contact with something.
These clones can be easily distinguished by people with dojutsu. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones do not have shadows and will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (i.e. won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).
Ninjutsu, general skill, E rank, Supplementary.
Hand seals- Tiger - Boar - Ox - Dog.
5) Sexy jutsu (Oiroke no jutsu) – A variant of the transformation technique, the Sexy Technique transforms the user into a naked woman usually surrounded by clouds of mist at private areas, or in a bikini, typically with seductive posture. Naruto uses this technique to distract or win over men with sex appeal, with all successful attempts causing an exaggerated nosebleed by the victim, while Konohamaru uses it to impress Naruto. Typically, the more perverted the victim, the greater their reaction will be. According to Naruto, the stronger an opponent is, the more effective this technique would be in creating an opening because they would be expecting an actual technique and will be momentarily confused, leaving an opening. Obviously, this would only work once.
Ninjutsu, general skill, E rank, Supplementary.
Hand seals- Ram.
6) Leaf Concentration Practice (Ha no shuchu renshu) – This training method is done by placing a leaf over an individual's forehead and having them direct all their chakra onto the leaf, using it as a focal point.
This exercise can be used by Academy teachers as a way to teach students how to control their chakra more effectively. However, the true purpose of the exercise is actually to hone the individual's concentration and to keep their mind from becoming distracted. As explained by Iruka Umino, only those who have worked hard on their ability to concentrate can become excellent shinobi. For generations Konoha ninja have practised using this method in order to better their mental focus. The leaf emblem on the Konoha forehead protector is said to originate from this training.
General skill.
Hand seals- N/A.
So that's it for the 2nd chapter, hope you like it, if you don't well…can't do anything about it.
Ja ne.
