naruto approached Iruka carefully during first break there was nothing wrong with Iruka to naruto's mind he he kind to all the student's fair about pnishments and explained everything in detail but ever since the summer he felt he wasn't really getting anything out of the academy anymore it seemed boring the only skill he learnt here was Taijutsu and although naruto knew he had to learn about economics and trade to understand a clients need or village history so that konoha ninja seemed smart so they could get more clients to come to them but according to Anko he was wrong there was something indeed to learn here when an ANBU recomends someone thats a good sign "hey iruka Sensei i was wondering if i could ask for your help with something" Iruka looked up from his desk and smiled "oh hello naruto what do you need? did you have problems with the todays lecture on compact between hidden village's and their daimyo's or is it something else." "No no nothing to do with todays lecture i actually heard you were a trap master and was wondering if you could help me i was also told you'd be good for teaching ambush strategy." iruka blinked owlishliy he didn't expect this he preferred not to think of his days when on active duty but this would be okay but had to know "naruto not that i'm saying no but just out of interest who reccomended me" "Anko i met her when i was training she's a bit loud but fun." Iruka hoped to god naruto didn't pick up some of Anko's habits Konoha wouldn't survive he shivered at the thought of two Anko's have one of her infamous party nights across the whole city it always ended up in a brawl its how he got the scar on his nose he foolishly tried to take her dango off her the next thing he remembered was waking in her apartment he still couldn't remember what happened in those five hours Anko refused to tell him always answering coyishly its a secret she really frustrated him sometimes. "well naruto i'd be glad to teach yo traps and ambush techniques come back tomorrow at first break and i'll bring some equipment like drawings and maps i'm actually glad to teach it really frustrates me sometimes that i'm only allowed to teach whats on the curriculum unless a student approaches me it a stupid rule in my mind otherwise i would teach this subject in class so why the interest in traps." naruto really hated this Iruka would be the second person this week he told his dream to but he had sgreed to help "i want to be a Hunter capture ninja and Anko said these skills would help with that." iruka grimaced at that it was a tough field as hunters normally worked alone with no backup the council would never accept that he knew but it might happen by the time naruto reached chunnin afterall he'd be under the shinobi council rule as soon as he graduated evevn if naruto never reached hunter status it would be good to pass down these skills of his own as a Jinchiriku naruto was bound to be a ninja till death "naruto if you really want to be a capture ninja there are some other skills i could teach but you have to asklike i said rules and the practice would have to be after school as other students might think it favouritism." "i would like you to pass down any skills you deem relevant to my being a capture ninja" "good thats good i have three jutsu that would help you i will show you them in use and write a scroll on them i also have an idea that may help with chakra control but we'll talk tomorrow about that go use the rest of your break outside its a nice day.
the next day as everyone charged outside iruka brought out some papers they spent the hour debating when best to set a trap and what ones to choose under certain time and location restraints like a wide landscape would mean using tags and trip wire where as a closed one would use just the tags and hwo the head hunter jutsu could be used to double back and ambush an opponent at the end something strange happened Iruka gave him some paper and said to channel chakra into it the paper went soggy then split Iruka mumbled something about wind and water exercises.
naruto felt it was a good idea to ask Iruka for help he was a good teacher to a class but a great one when it came to individual lessons as he wasn't condescending for naruto not knowing a piece of knowledge tonight they would learn headhunter jutsu.
They were standing at the forest in the open clearing apparently the old headhunter jutsu involved using kawamiri with a lot of soil and was still good if used as a surprise tactic with two simaltaneous kawamiri's one out of sight and one to below whereas the new one was good for cautious opponents and melted you iinto the ground by using the tree walking skill to drag yourself under and the same technique across your whole body to propell yourself through the ground which is why chakra control exercises emphasise that mastery only came when you could use either arms or legs to stick to trees he soon got the first bursting out of the ground was the hard part as there wasn't much oxygen naruto could to a limited degree do the second type he could only propel himself slowly but hadmore oxygen as when you moved the soil more trapped air was released
in the two weeks of training they diid together naruto felt he had a lot more in common with iruka they even went to naruto's favourite ramen bar Ichiraku's twice they had to stop as there wasn't much more to teach the other two Jutsu taught were splinter senbon which was based on the Shodai's Mokuton techniques you tapped a tree from one side repelling the bark through chakra control exercises making splinters barrage out the other side it was uncontrolled but useful if trapped he taught Ten Ten that one she was ecstatic the third jutsu he taught was the Kiri mist technique that was immensly useful for trap users and maybe himself personally with his sealess Genjutsu and helped as Iruka taught himwater manipulation exercises it would take a long time to get anything out of it but the eventual advantages were great such as reduced chakra cost and easier control for any water jutsu unfortunately he didn't know any wind specialist to ask questions of
Sasuke was meant to return to class the next day everyone was wondering how he would be.
