Chapter 2: The training

The birds were chirping,the sun was shining brightly and Naruto was grumpily getting up from his bed. He remembered what he had seen the day before and shot up from his bed.

' I have to get ready and go to the academy quickly. Iruka-sensei should know about those jutsu's and I can ask him to teach me' he got ready and heated his pack of instant ramen in order to have his breakfast.

After having his usual pack of ramen, Naruto enthusiastically got ready to go to the academy. Reaching there earlier than he had ever been(unless he was playing his pranks of course),Naruto started searching for Iruka. Seeing one of his old sensei's walking around, he decided to ask him where Iruka was.

"Suzume-sensei, do you know where Iruka-sensei is?"

Suzume glared at him, being the victim of one of his pranks before and generally hating his like the others but replied,"He should be in the teacher's lounge." "I sympathise with him having to teach you",she muttered.

Naruto ran off as soon as he heard the first part. When he reached the lounge,he shouted,"Iruka-sensei! I need your help!"

Iruka hearing Naruto ask for help pinched himself to see if it was a dream, but seeing Naruto standing there impatiently realised that it wasn't a dream.

"Naruto, what do you need?"

So Naruto told him what he had seen the day before. Hearing that, Iruka first berated Naruto for walking without concentrating near Ninja training grounds. 'What if you had injured yourself or a stray jutsu had hit you?!' After that,he explained the jutsu's to Naruto.

"Naruto, the clone jutsu that we teach in the academy are illusions. It is an E-Rank jutsu. There are different types of clones too. The clones that you saw were solid. So they could be elemental clones like Water Clones or Earth Clones or they could be the Konoha variant: The Shadow Clone jutsu. Though not many people can use it since it takes a lot of Chakra to make more than two or three.

The Tree-climbing is an exercise used for chakra control. It is the basic exercise after the Leaf sticking. If you master it, then you can walk upside down on trees and later even walk on water."

Iruka sweatdropped at Naruto who was looking at him with stars in his eyes.

"Sensei, can you teach me? Please,Please,Please?",Naruto begged Iruka.

"Naruto, I can't teach you the Solid Clone Jutsu's when you haven't even got the illusion down. And I'm not supposed to teach a student separately,but I suppose I can give you pointers on how to do the Tree-Climbing will have to train by yourself though."

"Thank you sensei!",Naruto shouted as he hugged Iruka.

The next day, Iruka took Naruto to one of the big trees near the academy and handed him a then said,"Naruto, thhis training involves focusing a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of one's feet, and using that to climb a tree without using one's hands. If the stream of chakra is too weak, the user will lose their footing on the tree and fall off. If it is too strong, the user will be pushed away from the tree, causing the tree to break around the point of contact and the user will fall. Do you understand?"

Naruto looked at him with a confused face."Uhh.. Somewhat?"

Iruka said," See,Naruto, if you use a lot of chakra, the tree will break. If you use too less, you will slip off. So you need to put the right amount. Understand? I'll show it to you. And use the Kunai to mark your progress."

After seeing the demonstration, Naruto quickly ran to the tree and attempted it. He flew back as soon as he took his second step up.

"Naruto,remember to find out the correct amount of chakra used and then practice.I have to go now, but you keep training."

"Ok,sensei."

Naruto kept training and inside he was very happy since there was someone who was willing to help him.

The next few months passed with Naruto attending the academy, trying to get the clone jutsu down and finally mastering the Tree-Climbing exercise. After that, he found out that his clone was better than before, so he continued to practice the exercise in different ways.

'God, it's been months since I pulled a prank',Naruto thought one day, after he was dead tired,trying to improve his taijutsu, but not making much progress.

'I think I'll pull one tomorrow. I have to get everything ready and go over the plan too.'

So with dreams of ramen and pulling pranks, Naruto went to sleep, ready to surprise the village the next day.

A.N. So here it is guys. And please Review.

Also, tell me if you want Naruto to graduate a year early and be one a different team or graduate the same time as normal and be on Team 7 itself or have a different team. Please tell me soon as I will have to change the idea then :)

And sorry for the short chapters. As the story progresses, the chapters will become longer.
