Check out Animescale on youtube for how I am scaling Mika...

Check out my poll on Ninja cats, I need help determining Ghost's future powers and jutsu.

Should I show the time skip between Naruto and Shippuden?


"That seemed easy." Tsunade said, pleased.

Mika nodded with a touch of smugness. "I am a tactical genius, Neji is amazing, Naruto and Tenten were helpful. That was really all."

"Speaking of, Neji you managed to magnify your Byakugan with just lightning chakra?"

He nodded, pride in his eyes. "It took work, without Mika pressing me to try and harness lighting chakra I would have never managed it. Having him also encourage us Hyuugas to get a better understanding of anatomy and medical jutsu also played a large role. I am just pleased that it worked, it literally saved out lives. As did Ghost, who tore into Raiga something fierce, I think he deserves the greater part of the bounty." Neji turned, grabbing Ghost's head and kissing it softly, before rubbing him chin. "His first mission was an utter success."

Tsunade smiled. "I cannot argue with that, Ghost come here." Ghost obeyed and flew over to her with great speed, winding around her limber fingers. "You are a good cat, you know that? You played a huge role in killing Raiga... I think, since you played such a huge role, you are ready to learn something interesting. I will help you master hair related jutsu. Well, fur related jutsu. You are a cat, what do you really need money for? You can't really spend it so this is your bounty.

Hair is basically dead, you need great control to control it. With your medical control, you should be ready for them. The trick is to be sharp with your chakra and to expand it as it enters the fur. It is easier to control fur that is still attached, but since you are a cat you shed a lot. You should be able to use the fur as a medium for all sorts of jutsu. Understand?"

Ghost nodded. "Yes, Ma'am."

Mika repeated this for Ghost, only to hear Naruto's "Umph!" They all noticed and Mika, looking at the boy, saw anger, jealousy and mostly... pain in his eyes. "Naruto, are you jealous?"

Naruto sighed, took a deep breath, then exploded. "It's just, you are so strong and I hate you and Lee is getting stronger and Neji is too. Sakura is learning to be Granny's apprentice and even you, I saw you Mika, you trained with Asuma sensei and Shizune and so many other people. You even know the Rasengan and now your cat is getting Jutsu from Granny and no one is helping me!" Huffing loudly, Naruto turned away, and Mika actually felt a little bad.

Not for his own progress but that Naruto was not getting taught. 'Naruto was the Jinchuuriki, and he bested Gaara and saved Tsunade from Kabuto and according to some rumors is being pursued by a group called the Akatsuki likely for being the Jinhcuuruki. The Akatsuki, apparently, has figures like the legendary Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha... it would be wrong to ignore that. His accomplishments and the danger he is in. He deserves to be taught, he had earned that much... '

Sighing, Mika stood as tall as his four-foot-seven would allow. "I will teach you, Naruto." They all, even Ghost, looked stunned. "What? Powerful people are after him, he saved Tsunade Kabuto and the village from Gaara... he earned at least a little education. I am legally required, as a Chunin that participated in an A Rank mission, to have three days off to recover my chakra and stamina. Training Naruto would be an easy prospect, I hope anyway. I could easily give him and Tenten some tips, bolstering thier powers and helping them grow."

Naruto looked at him suspiciously. "Would you really help me?"

"I don't hate you, just find you annoying, so why would I refrain from helping you?"

Naruto sighed. "Okay, I guess... I could, I could work with that. When, where?"

"Just follow me, right after this, I will instruct you once we get our bounties. I need money to buy seal ingredients for my studies. But only for three days, I will be far too busy to help you past that. Three days of training with my ideas though, will get you to chunin level in no time."

Tsunade, looking on warmly, said this. "Naruto the main reason you were not being taught is you never asked. Mika makes allies, Neji trains with Mika or his sensei or his clan. I will admit, that Kakashi should be helping more, I will speak to him. Now go, I expect your report to be written by the time your three days are over."

"Lee, Neji, Ghost you are going to help, follow me." Mika grabbed Naruto and Tenten by the arm and march outward, Ghost and Neji and Lee following his swift actions.

With the shushin, Mika and his group got to training ground four rather fast after getting their bounties and making one pit stop. Training ground four was close and it was random so Naruto would not find Mika in his own personal training grounds. "Alrighty, before I help you, I need to see both of your chakra control. The exercise I have in mind for you both, that will drastically increase powers, requires that. Well, for Tenten mostly, Naruto you are behind in a lot of areas. I want you to create as many clones as you can."

"ALRIGHT, SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Naruto screamed before creating a thousand, a thousand physical clones. "What now?" Naruto asked, clones and all.

Mika sighed. "Lee, you take one hundred clones and show them the basics of the Strong Fist."

Naruto frowned. " Why my clones?"

"Simply put, what your clones learn, you learn. If Lee instructs you on the basics of the Strong Fist with a hundred clones, you will have a hundred days of that training to back up on. After an hour, they will dispel and you move onto the harder forms. I want you, the real you, to spar your clones with the Strong Fist to get a hold of it. The other hundred, well first you are going to channel your chakra into this paper, you and Tenten." Mika held out the papers, and both took a piece all the while Lee was screaming YOSH as he took them away.

"Why?" Tenten asked.

"It will tell me your chakra element, I know how to train any type even if I only have used Lightning, Water and Wind. Now, channel away." They both did, and Tenten's paper burned away while Naruto's split in half. "Perfect, Tenten you have an excellent chakra for your blades. You can wield it to make you blades strong, to use elemental jutsu through your blades, and to cast very specific seals.

Naruto, your chakra nature is one I have been trained in. It is why I could fight Raiga and survive, even if barely. I will be teaching you both. Naruto, send one hundred clones with Neji to practice your chakra control, do whatever Neji says and do not whine. This is important." A hundred clones left with Nejii, who smiled at Mika before walking away. "The rest of you, take a leaf from a tree. Naruto, use your chakra to try and split the leaf. Imagine splitting your chakra into blades and grinding them like blades. Tenten, imagine gathering the warmth of the world around you, kneading that into power until you get a spark. Do not get discouraged, Tenten, If Naruto gets it first, he about eight hundred clones working on the jutsu. Even a stone would get strong after this much training."

And like that, Mika changed the path of Naruto's life, giving him the chance to be more than an imbecile and rise above the issues of his life.

He would never know the importance of this or the precedent he set for Naruto... the precedent would literally save the world.

Eventually, one of Naruto's smarter clones said exactly what Mika wanted to hear. "What do I owe you?You are not the type to just do something for nothing..."

Mika thought about his answer for about point five seconds. "How do you cast the Shadow clone jutsu?"

And like that, he changed his own life forever.


Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was a blast to write. Naruto needs an upgrade and Mika will give it out. What its the exact limit to make a shadow clone? The chakra limit exactally that Mika has to meet? I have an idea.

I think you are going to adore the next chapter.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
