AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey guys, this is chapter-3. I don't know for some reason the online editing doc isn't letting me write chapter 3. Everytime I write 3 it turns into a 4 after I move the cursor down. It's weird I only posted two chapters. This should be the third chapter. Also I have been getting this strange feeling as if I am missing something, I can't recollect what. Quite weird. Anyways here you go guys ,Enjoy.
Chapter-4 The 'P' in Politics.
'Question: Shinobi of Konoha leaves (get it leaves ? lol.) place A at 8:00 am and reaches place B at 2:00 pm. An ally shinobi from Suna leaves place B at 10:00 am and reaches place A at 6:00 pm. Around what time do both shinobi's meet ? '
'Answer: The time both shinobi's will meet is pointless because this question is itself pointless.'
'Naruto aren't you weaseling your way out by giving a pointless answer yourself ?' replied shino in a perfectly even tone.
' Kowai (scary)...,Seriously Shino's voice is so fucking even it unnerves me, is this guy a ninja, a monk or a supreme lord of a dark realm ? Or could he be all a supreme lord ninja monk ? (gulp) '.
Naruto felt slightly uncomfortable but he was distracted by a sharp crisp voice, a voice belonging to his sensei.
'Naruto stop dilly-dallying and solve the question. This is one of the things a Shinobi should know. This question not only challenges your ability to use logic but it also improves your calculation. We have done similar questions like this because it will help you further on when you need to plan tactics, time is as important a factor or resource as manpower, individual skills and team composition that every ninja should consider while making a decision. This is for everyone not only for naruto.
None of you have solved it either only Sakura has done it. Sasuke I don't see you trying to solve this either .
Oi, Shikamaru get up, I swear to kami if I caught you sleeping again I'll personally inform your Kaa-san'.
Naruto saw Shikamaru who was sleeping peacefully mere moments ago almost jump out of his seat .The lazy boy had gone in a fully functioning mode. 'Seriously how scary is his kaa - san ? '
Alas this completely energetic Shikamaru had lasted for precisely 10 seconds during which he saw the question, wrote something in the copy , grumbled about how "his energy reserves were at a low " and went back to sleep. This prompted Iruka sensei to personally walk up to his desk to glance at his copy . But sensei swiftly returned to his position after seeing his notebook without yelling at Shikamaru. Sasuke on the other hand had simply flipped his copy towards sensei's direction. It must have been correct as sensei had nodded and asked him to raise his hand next time which he had answered with a simple monosyllable of "hn". What was odd was he noticed Sasuke handing his notebook to Inazawa-san seated next to him.
'Never thought he was a guy who cared about sharing. He must have a crush on her or something'.
'Naruto and everybody else get to work. I want this solved before class ends'. Naruto turned his head back to his own notebook. 'Fine, fine I get it. Hmm...it's a tough question but not like it's unsolvable. Passing time will have to wait I'll solve this first otherwise sensei will eat me up alive. I won't even taste good.
.
.
.
Or maybe I would ? I wonder what does a cannibal perceive taste as ? Ahh...I am getting distracted. Let me finish this up first.
So,
time taken by Konoha-nin = 6 hour.
time taken by Suna-nin = 8 hour.
Let us assume total distance between A and B be 'D'. D is exactly what I got in Busnshin jutsu practical (Hmph!).
Since, Speed= Distance/ Time
Speed of Konoha-nin = D/6
Speed of Suna-nin = D/8
Distance covered by Konoha-nin in 2 hour i.e. till 10:00 am would be = 2 x D/6 = D/3
Remaining Distance = D - D/3 = 2D/3
Time taken by both shinobi to meet = (2D/3)/ [D/6 +D/8]= (2D/3)/[(4D+3D)/24]
= 2D/3 x 24/7D = 16/7 hour = 2 hour and 17 minutes'
'Therefore, Konoha-nin meets him at = 10:00 + 2h +17 min = 12:17 pm.
There done, see told you it wasn't even that complex. Now let me point out why I said the answer was pointless, Shino'. Naruto said while sharing his answer with Shino who was comparing his own answer and trying to figure out whether his answer was correct or Naruto's.
'You see the reason why I said it is pointless is because of a term used in the question 'shinobi'. This answer would make sense for a normal civilian but for a person who wield 'chakra' this answer is broken. Why ? simply because of too many parameters. What if the shinobi's decided to use chakra reinforcement to travel faster ? in that case their speed would be doubled or even tripled and in a real life scenario likely that would be the case because as sensei said 'time' is a resource as well. What's worse is in-order to save chakra and not entirely exhaust themselves so they can remain vigilant for enemies they would likely use chakra in short-bursts i.e. their speeds can change continuously. You may take an average for their speed but that would eradicate one of the purpose for which we are learning this question i.e. "precise time planning for tactics".
Now consider another example where both the shinobi's use reverse summoning to instantaneously travel to designated destination. They would never even meet. What if one of them has a summon and other doesn't they would meet at a different time ? What if one of them encounters an enemy and dies ? , the real life scenarios are too much in case of a ninja .
Hence, the correct answer would have been it's pointless.'
'This is why you rank lower in class Naruto-san. If only you could write just the answer what you have written in your notebook and not this additional information along as would not only complete your exam on time but not get yelled half-so-much by Iruka-sensei frequently' replied Shino as he fixed his black shades in a cool manner and returned Naruto's notebook back to him.
'Bruh...
Anyways he had answered it and now he could pass time as he pleased until next lesson. '
'As a ninja "politics" is one subject that you will have a long life use in your entire career. Every second of a shinobi's life either revolves around it or is influenced by politics indirectly or directly. It an extremely powerful system that determines almost everything. From one's public image to their thinking mindset. Every decision literally holds the power to branch everything. Eg: What if the Third Shinobi world war never happened ? Could you imagine the change it would have caused, imagine many genins , young chunnins , many rising talents still breathing. Imagine Konohagakure and Iwagakure still being on relatively good terms rather than the current outright hostility of borderline "kill-on-sight" relation between us. But you also have to imagine that if the third Shinobi world war never happened maybe we wouldn't have gotten the Yondaime (fourth hokage), Konoha's Kiroi Senko (yellow flash), imagine we wouldn't have gotten the ''Copy nin'' or the ''Majestic Green Beast'' , imagine if the third Shinobi war didn't happen 10 years ago it may have happened today even on a more wider scale as small powers would have become even more stronger and with an even more engraved mindset for lust of more power and revenge.
Remember everyone the 'P' in Politics stands for Power. It stands for Psychological warfare, it stands for Punishment but it also stands for Peace, for Perseverance and for Penance'. Iruka-sensei's face changed from a darker unsettling look to a more brighter and comforting one as he uttered the last few lines.
'It also stands for Please STOP. MY BRAIN TREMBLES' naruto cheekily added in an extremely small whisper which managed to elicit a small chuckle from Shino.
'Moving on, from the next class we will cover extensively how clan politics works but today let's understand why do you need to know about this ? Could anyone tell me why do ninjas need clans ? Why are clans beneficial to a shinobi village ? And in this day and age why do clans hold value where many shinobi's that do not belong to a specific clan can be equally powerful ?'
'Yes, sakura'.
'Sensei, we need clans to preserve kekkei-genkai (bloodline skills/jutsu)'.
'Very good. Anyone else ? Yes, Ino'
'Sensei we need clans because they keep record of a lot of jutsu that only their members can use and would otherwise be lost to future generations'.
'Well done. Anyone else ? Yes, Hinata'
'Um...w-w-we...need clan-s...bec-because a village's strength can ro-roughly be esti-estimated by the ...number-s of clans'. Hinata shyly added in a very unconvincing manner.
'Very good Hinata. Don't be nervous while answering. Your answer was correct as well'.
'Like all of them said a clan not only helps in keeping records of jutsus, binding family in a close knit fashion and serves as a rough evaluation of how strong and how much variation a village has in scales of power but it serves a crucial purpose of preserving Kekkei genkai'.
'Sensei what do you mean by variation in power ?'
'It's exactly what it means Kidomaru. Different clans have different skill sets. for example: The Inuzuka clan from which kiba comes from is a clan highly specialised in working with ninja animals and tracking. Their jutsu(s) arguably can only be used by them as it requires a keen sense of animal raising and companionship to even start the training.
The Yamanaka clan from which Ino comes from specialises in Intel and psychological warfare jutsus and require a considerable amount of mental stamina and talent that they have to cultivate from a young age.
The Hyuuga clan specialises in close combat , tracking and is widely recognised for their kekkei genkai ,the dojutsu( eye-technique/ visual technique) Byakugan. It is considered one of the strongest kekkei genkai as it allows their wielders to view chakra, they can see chakra of a shinobi, they can view or even sense the amount of chakra in a jutsu, this also provides them with an extended vision as they can see long range using chakra . This makes them incredibly difficult enemies. In Fact it so tough to fight them it is often said that Byakugan gives them a 360 degree vision but whether that's true or not only a hyuuga can tell you that and every comrade of mine has confirmed that it is true.
And finally there is the Sharingan' Iruka's voice had unknowingly dipped into a lower baritone as he mentioned Sharingan .'It is a kekkei genkai of Uchiha clan and is considered the most powerful dojutsu that you can come across. Among all kekkei Genkais, shinobi(s) rank Sharingan at the top. Only few obscure or extinct kekkei genkai hold more power or value than Sharingan. I don't know much of it's inner workings but a person who possesses sharingan can copy any jutsu.'
There was a lot of shocked voice resounding "any jutsu" only a few kids looked as if they already knew this fact.
'Yes, it can copy any jutsu as long as the jutsu does not require a particular kekkei genkai to use it. Even that can be copied but It can never be effectively used because it requires a kekkei genkai of the other person to even use it. But this is not what makes the Sharingan fearsome what truly makes it fearsome is that they are master Genjutsu users. It is said that if you fall Under the Genjutsu of an Uchiha consider yourself dead. Only few capable nins have broken out of a Genjutsu cast off Uchiha. Not only that, a Sharingan like the Byakugan allows them to see chakra in a shinobi. It also allows them to perfectly observe the chakra in a jutsu as a shinobi molds it which is why they can instantaneously and simultaneously copy and cast the jutsu as the other shinobi can. In addition to that a Sharingan heightens Intuition and builds a sense of precognition effectively making them perceive moves differently than others.
I don't know how they perceive it as, only an Uchiha can tell in what manner of fashion they perceive it . My fair guess ? I think they perceive moves in a relatively delayed and slower motion because I have seen some of their members predicting and countering moves of other person in a Taijutsu spar with an accuracy of more than 90%.' Iruka sensei had established an eye contact with Sasuke as he had said the last few words. Sasuke had placed the palm of his left hand on his chin, covering a portion of his lips in a strikingly cool fashion, he was looking at Iruka sensei with an unperturbed poker face. His eyes had no hints of amusement or aggression they looked unbelievably callous as if he wanted to convey with his body language that ''Iruka sensei would get no information from him about this''.
Apparently the sensei was not the only one. The entire class was staring at Sasuke , as he was busy maintaining eye contact with sensei but the class seemed divided on their reason for such attention. The boys were staring at him in bewilderment of the power he possessed or would possess. More importantly some were even envious of his gift whereas all the girls , well most of the girls were staring at Sasuke as if they had found their future husband.
'Damn it'. Naruto slammed a fist on his table . The sound of which immediately broke all of the tension in the air and diverted everyone's attention back .
'Naruto what is it ? and What have I told you about your language ? You shouldn't cuss at your age or in front of your sensei ,period.
Next time I hear it you're doing 20 laps of the ground'.
Naruto paled at the response he received but he immediately answered 'Sorry sensei, I just sort of lost it. I never heard of such a god level cheat skill so much so that it's practically broken. It's kind of unfair if you ask me.'
'Watch it dumb-ass. This is above your paygrade, I won't let you slander my family's honour'. Naruto growled at the unexpected feedback and was about to put this "little self- entitled attention seeking whore" .'Whoa such a bright selection of words. Good job, ore(me)' ; "back in his place". When Sensei once again spoke up again.
'Sasuke you should mind your language as well. In this class all of you are equal and as the current rookie of the year I expect more from you'.
'Naruto. You should also keep in mind the greater the power the greater the cost at which it comes. The power of Sharingan ,Byakugan and other highly ranked Kekkei genkais is such that it is coveted by everyone. As a result enemy ninja's try to steal their kekkei genkai's and make it their own. Some enemies want to annihilate these clans so that they can eliminate such a power that they themselves cannot have, neutralising the advantage a shinobi village might have and many have succeeded in wiping out kekkei genkai(s).
Not only that extreme use of kekkei genkai can end up in untimely death for a user. For a normal shinobi that has no bloodline skills the worse case scenario is overdrawing chakra which will lead to severe chakra exhaustion . That may leave the shinobi with a huge duration to recover but it will never cause a shinobi's death whereas excessive use of bloodline abilities not only overdraws chakra but if you still continue it actually starts burning up your life source to generate more chakra and lead to your death. Remember no matter how powerful of a kekkei genkai user you are if you start chipping away at your life essence to win a battle, you're done for. There is no percentage that determines how much life essence you can 'safely use'. Once you draw a significant amount the process is irreversible and you'll be dead by the end as soon as your additional chakra that was created by converting life essence burns out. The person cannot be saved. It is over for him/her.
But that is not the case for a shinobi who doesn't have a kekkei genkai because once he or she over-draws chakra the body itself starts shutting the chakra off to prevent the user from dying and even if he or she forces the matter by using a soldier pill the body only provides more chakra till it reaches a severe critical level and then it cuts off the chakra not allowing the user the ability to burn off his life essence. That is a bridge that can be unknowingly or willingly crossed by kekkei genkai users. For a non kekkei genkai user to mess with life essence a shinobi has to cross the threshold of low jonin chakra level manipulation as well as have chakra reserve of a mid jonin and even then must know how to use this chakra to activate the irreversible use of life essence which is taught only after reaching jounin class.
Do you understand what am I saying ?'
Naruto scratched his head 'Yeah, kind of. I think'
'Simply put Sasuke or Hinata run the risk of actually dying even in a genin stage if they ignore the sign of both chakra-overdrawing and later chakra exhaustion and forcibly push themselves to use their kekkei genkai whereas you don't because once you overdraw chakra and reach chakra exhaustion your body will cut off the chakra flooding in your system automatically. Granted both of you do run the same risk of death by enemy hands but a genin is never sent off to complete such hard missions that have such high levels of threats because that would be just irresponsible of us.
Also what I said is an extreme scenario for kekkei genkai users. Normally when both Sasuke or Hinata will reach the chakra stage their body like yours will naturally cut off the supply because at that point you barely can even stand, ninja's don't even have the stamina to move but it's just that they have the option to continue whereas current you won't but that's practically almost impossible because of the strain you are in once you even reach that stage.
There might only be a few rare people not even 0.001% shinobi(s),kekkei genkai or not, who have such a level of willpower that they force themselves beyond no return to activate it. Extra-ordinary shinobi(s) can't even do that I assume only Kage(s) have the ability to push beyond that point.'
Every student was keenly listening to their sensei. Something about his explanation had reminded everyone what sort of future they were getting into. Death had that effect. Even shikamaru had opened one of his eye lids and was focusing on what his sensei had conveyed.
'Alright enough of this serious discussion . Does anyone have any queries ?'.
'Yes Inazawa ?'
'Sensei you mentioned people try to steal kekkei genkai ? How is that possible aren't people born with kekkei genkai ?'
'There are quite a few ways to steal kekkei genkai Inazawa. For kekkei genkai that manifests in organs like dojutsu people try to transplant said organ in their own body by killing the actual user. Granted it is hard for the enemy shinobi to use it as his body was not born with this inherited ability and is of significantly lower compatibility and may only allow the user to have a limited access to said obtained kekkei genkai.
Another way is some people that are extremely genius discover vile forbidden jutsu that can help them acquire an inheritable kekkei genkai or transplant an entire bloodline in themselves.
But the most common way of stealing kekkei genkai is by passing it to new generation by having children.'
'Huh ? but that doesn't make sense sensei. You can only have kids when two people fall in love and they marry each other. If you simply refuse to marry then how will they steal the bloodline ?' Inazawa shook her head and let it fall at a 90 degree angle looking at her sensei in a perplexed manner.
'Oi, Oi you gotta be fuckin' kidding me. She doesn't know ?' Naruto thought to himself as he turned his head around to look at her. The entire class everyone besides Naruto were nodding their heads in agreement to what Inazawa-san had said even Sasuke was seen nodding like a hermit. "How had their sensei missed such an obvious logic ?" everyone was equally confused.
'Hey, Shi-Shino...just out of curiosity do you know how did you come to this world ?' Naruto asked Shino with a rather hesitant exaggerated smile.
'Naruto you truly are dense sometimes. Everybody knows it that their parents fell in love with each other and they got married and then'.
'and then ?' he asked while his hesitant smile exaggerated even more .
'And then they go to the shrine and pray to kami-sama for children. When kami-sama gets pleased he blesses them and then we arrive in few months. What else ?'
'No way even Shino ? ' His eyes bulged when he heard Shino's response. He raised his finger in a quivering manner but lowered it back down immediately and started to lightly bang his head on the desk. 'How the fuck is everyone of them so clueless ? We are 10 years old for kami-sama's sake. Do they seriously think that children are sent by kami-sama ? Or they think kissing causes children ? Wait, kissing does cause children not directly but ya know...ya know it's the first step. ' Naruto straightened himself once he got over how innocent his classmates were he looked up to see why his sensei didn't scold him for his antics only to witness :
Iruka sensei frozen like a statue. If this was a comic Iruka sensei would have appeared a grey statue with cold winds blowing in the background but since it was reality he saw his sensei completely unmoving. A few seconds later he coughed twice and said in a very wavering tone 'that's right Inazawa-san I completely overlooked that, it was my fault. But I do believe there is an another way but that...ah,...
will be explained to you by Yumi-sensei in your final year, all girls will learn it from Yumi-sensei and all boys will learn it from Mizuki-sensei'.
'But why can't you teach us Iruka-sensei ?' Ino asked.
'Ah...haha...look at the time. Yes, see we do not have enough time. '
'But sensei we still have 30 minutes ?' added another voice.
'Ah , see I was not feeling well as well. So today, students you get to go early. Haha...bye ...see you tomorrow. Be safe kids and go home early. Remember we have Taijutsu and other practices tomorrow'. Before anyone could say anything Iruka sensei gathered his stuff and vanished in a smoke.
'Man, sensei is such a wuss.' Naruto placed his hand on his chin in a thinking manner.
Meanwhile Sakura asked everyone to "all rise". They bowed even though their sensei was gone. There was again a slapstick comedy routine of Ino pulling Shikamaru's pony as if uprooting a plant making him stand and then making him bow alongside everyone and the class was officially dispersed. After slinging his bag on his shoulder Naruto walked at a measured pace towards the teachers staff room in hope of catching Iruka-sensei he had some things that he needed help on. Naruto knocked twice on the door and slid the door open, he bowed once to all sensei(s) who had looked up in his direction. Then he looked around to see if Iruka sensei was there. He spotted him at the corner window desk in the row directly horizontal to Naruto's position.
'Sensei, would you have some available time ? I required some help from you'.
'Yes, Naruto tell me what is the problem you're facing ?' Iruka sensei replied good naturedly as he starting placing away the sheets had been marking a few second ago. Displaying that he was paying attention to what Naruto was about to say.
'Thank you sensei. Ah...it's about the Bunshin jutsu that we are practising. It's a crucial jutsu that all of us have to demonstrate in the practical portion of the final exams that are next year and I am not exactly proficient in it. I was hoping if there would be some way across this hurdle ?'.
'Proficient ? Hmmm... It's the understatement of the year for sure (sigh). Naruto I want to help you but please understand you'll have to give the same test like everybody else I cannot change test criteria for you otherwise it would be unfair for the rest. I hope you understand'.
'Sensei, aren't there any alternatives ? Is there a jutsu that has the same level of difficulty as the bunshin and can be accepted as it's alternative for the test ? For some reason I simply cannot do the bunshin. I don't know why but I feel extremely sick when I try to do it which is why clones fail and the worst part is I cannot identify the root issue and therefore can't work on the problem.
I admit I am a back-bencher but I don't want to be a dropout. There is nothing for me besides being a ninja ,that; or a notorious menace as a prankster and I am done with the latter'.
Iruka's eyes widened a little with shock as he saw one of the most troublesome kid in his class being so forthcoming with his faults.
Naruto used to be a complete delinquent few years ago. He frequently skipped classes, pranked the hell out of teachers and sometimes used to even pick unnecessary fights with other kids. If it was any other kid the teachers would have asked the parents to take him out of academy but he was not any other ordinary kid. No matter how many complaints the teacher filed against him Hokage-sama would just excuse it with a simple answer "You know he has no other option. Whatever road he takes he'll end up a Shinobi that is his burden and his blessing. I'd rather he'd have proper training and be prepared than someday for him to be forcefully dragged in this world when I am no longer here." Iruka looked up to see Naruto's solemn face staring right back at him. 'Not everything about Naruto is bad. There is some change in him within these 2 years. First he had quit his pranking streak, no one had believed it but when a month, two month flew by even I started believing he was done with pranking. He also stopped cutting most of his classes, he started focusing more on his jutsu practise, his Henge and Kawarimi are at a decent level , not perfect but not horrible either. He even rose a few ranks up from his dead last position. I might just be able to help him here.'
'Ok, Naruto I'll try to find out if any other jutsu can be considered as a proper alternative for the exam. If I get the permission then we can give the option to the entire class. That way it is fair to all and anyone who struggles with Bunshin can try executing the other jutsu along side you'. Naruto had a small smile on his face as he heard his sense respond in a positive manner. 'But remember I said I'll try meaning it is not guaranteed chances are it could be denied so in that case you should try to make your Bunshin workable.'
'But...but sensei like I said I can't. I don't even know why I can't ?'
'Then let's think about this why you can't ? Hmmm...
Hm...'. Iruka looked down at his desk repeatedly tapping the point of his pen against the desk , pondering upon the presented problem.
'Tell me Naruto why do you think we make you guys practise the Bunshin ? A Bunshin requires only one hand seal i.e. it is a very basic jutsu. Also it has a very limited utility that nobody uses in actual mission unlike the Henge and Kawarimi. Kawarimi has saved even live of elite shinobi let alone students it will always be useful and Henge is used in espionage. No matter how easily henge can be detected just like Kawarimi it is still used even at the top level. But the Bunshin isn't, Even many genins don't use the Bunshin. Then why do we make you practise it ? What can be the only thing that Bunshin helps you in that you can carry till the very end like Kawarimi and Henge ? Think.'
'I always thought Bunshin was pretty useless but I also considered that maybe we as academy students cannot apply it because it requires a higher level of technique like in laying traps or as a decoy illusion or something else that chunnins may be able to apply. But sensei outright admitted that it is not mission effective therefore it has a different purpose. Considering what we are taught...Genjutsu won't quite fit in as well...I see.' Naruto's eyes narrowed a little as he thought he worked out the answer to the question.
'It's Chakra control isn't it sensei ?'
'Bingo. Bunshin is an extremely light technique not at all demanding on the chakra reserves but since it does not require much chakra if you overload it your Bunshins won't work. It's a natural progression to the leaf sticking exercise'. Naruto made a grimace as soon as he heard the "leaf sticking exercise" , the blonde wasn't fond of that exercise as he always burned the leaf down. 'Since the Bunshin is only one hand seal, it makes the user actively try to control the chakra that is required until it becomes intuitive. Very much like muscle memory, chakra has what I like to call "chakra conditioning" once you achieve a certain mastery in a jutsu your chakra itself imprints on the method and chakra control or molding required for the jutsu, without you actually giving your focus to it.
Otherwise how would two shinobi(s) fight ? Can you imagine both shinobi(s) sitting like headless chickens until they can complete the jutsu because they cannot focus on anything else. Chakra conditioning enables the shinobi to be a multi-tasker and allows him to fight while forming hand signs and if someone master a jutsu perfectly they can even do jutsu(s) without hand signs and complex jutsu(s) with one hand seals or skipping interconnecting hand-signs for faster access.
To enable the potential of such mastery the Bunshin serves as a very good foundational block since it requires the chakra to flow through your entire system all the while maintaining the same amount of control on the chakra for a successful Bunshin. If you only run it halfway through that's when the white smoke is produced alongside the Bunshin because it can only image the parts that you the chakra according to hand seal had moved through and the smoke covers all the parts the chakra could not image.'
'But sensei If I was overloading the required amount of chakra for the jutsu why do I feel physically sick as well ? Is that suppose to happen ?'
'Strange. Those are the symptoms of a civilian that has next to little chakra and tries to force themselves to use a jutsu. But Naruto has a lot of chakra. More than natural thanks to his *guest* I think. This shouldn't happen unless...
Naruto I think you have to much chakra and since Bunshin requires a finer control I think your chakra in nature is incapable of that'.
Naruto had an extremely horrified look as soon as he heard that. 'That means I can't be a shinobi. I can't control my chakra ? '
' No,no,no... that's not how I meant it. Of course you can be a shinobi it's just you'll need to train your chakra in the opposite manner, rather than learning how to control small amount of chakra and you'll first need to control using large amount of chakra and then downscale it to learn how to fine tune it. Did you understand what I am saying ?'
Naruto sheepishly chuckled while scratching his head ' hehehe...sensei is truly the best he recognises when I stop comprehending'.
'What am I gonna do with this fool ?' Iruka shook his head in a dismaying manner. 'Naruto Imagine your chakra as a hammer that is two storey huge in size. Now imagine the Bunshin jutsu as an ant sized iron nail. What you're trying to do is hammer than nail against the wall while trying to swing that massive hammer. Even if you succeed it will break the wall'.
'Meaning even if I created a bunshin successfully, I will feel awfully sick ? '. Iruka nodded at this.
'But Imagine if you melt that huge hammer and rebuild it into a thousand small hammer then you'll have no problem. The process of melting here stands for you tryin out difficult chakra control exercises first'.
'Got it so how do I do that then ? '
'Well I have a solution but you're not going to like it'. Iruka sensei said in an evil tone as he smirked towards Naruto.
'You'll find your solution in ...'
'Where sensei ?' Naruto gulped in response to the rising tension. 'Why is sensei being so dramatic ? Don't tell me I'll find it in the fuckin forbidden forest. I am seriously screwed if I have to go there'.
'You'll find it in...'
Suddenly all the lights started flickering until there was a complete blackout in the staff-room. Naruto nervously tried to look around but all he saw was pitch black , just dark, then he saw a light, a torch light from the right corner. It was Yumi-sensei . But before Naruto could say something Flashlights started to torch up consecutively row-wise. Each sensei holding the torch weirdly where all the light was striking their face and all of them were looking down at it, practically staring at it without blinking.
Naruto took a step-back in fear ' Oi , Oi what is this horror sequence I just came here to ask for help. I didn't sign up for this shit.
Is this an en-en...ene-...enemy attack ? are all of them being controlled or all of them pos-possessed ? But gh-ghost aren't real. Nope no way, they aren't real. hehe...they can't be real.' Suddenly naruto heard an eerie breeze blowing from his back, he felt unnaturally cold as if the temperature of the room had dropped by 20 degrees.
'OK...ok..ghot...gohst...ghost are fuk...fuckin real'. Suddenly he felt a rough hand on his shoulder. Naruto immediately turned around to see, Iruka sensei standing with the light in the same weird manner. His eyes were closed.
'Sen-sensei ? Ar...are you ok ?'
Iruka sensei right hand suddenly flopped towards the floor as if it had no bones in it, he was now half crouched on the floor. Naruto witnessing this suddenly backed up to the entrance his hand on the sliding hold. Iruka started to sloppily get up as if he had lost all of his strength. It was as if someone had torn a scene right out of a scare sequence from a popular horror movie and had turned it into Naruto's reality.
' Nar...naru...naruto yo-...you...you'll ' Iruka's voice was a faint whisper until he suddenly snapped his eyes open and almost screamed:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
' YOU'LL FIND IT IN THE LIBRARY ! '
Naruto opened the entrance and ran like crazy...He didn't stop at the academy's gate he continued to run with faint tears in his eyes. His last thoughts were:
' FUCK THIS. I would have rather taken the Forbidden forest !'
