Hokage tower
It had been three years since Tsuki arrived in Konoha and she had to admit it was three years fill with fun. At first it was hard, dealing with Naruto every time she tried to get him to read a book that didn't involve seals but now he would read anything as long as it had something to do with Ninjas.
As for their training, they were progressing swimmingly. They had mostly focused on conditioning and Chakra control due to Naruto's horrible diet and massive Chakra reserves and their work had paid off. While not the best in class Naruto could beat most of the other students, even Sasuke on occasion. As for his chakra control they learned the leaf balancing as well as tree climbing and water walking. By that point they couldn't find or discover any new exercises to do so they made up their own.
First they tried to hold as many leaves to their body as they could with Chakra alone. Then they moved onto making the leaves move a little bit. After that they moved onto tree climbing while keeping leaves stuck to them. Then Tsuki came up with the idea to dodge attacks while doing this exercise. After completing that they repeated the process with water walking. All this helped Naruto immensely with his control but it was still far from perfect which lead what was going on today.
Tsuki slowly made her way to the Hokage's office. Once she was at the door she turned to the secretary. "Is he in a meeting?" she asked.
The secretary looked up at him. "No he is free, you can go in." she said before turning her attention back to her work.
Tsuki nodded and walked into the office. Hiruzen looked up and smiled at her. "Tsuki what can I do for you?" he asked before leaning back in his chair.
Tsuki walked over and sat down in a chair in front of his desk. "Naruto won't pass the exam." She said. Hiruzen raised an eye brow and gestured for her to continue. "Despite all of the training we have done his chakra control is not good enough to produce normal clones. In order for him to pass he will need a different clone jutsu." She explained.
Hiruzen looked at her and took a breath from his pipe. "I see, That could prove a problem for him. Can he do the other basics?" He asked as he started to think of options they could take.
Tsuki nodded. "Yes he has the Transformation and the Replacement Jutsus down; it's just the basic Clone Jutsu that he has a problem with. As for the rest of his skills. He has no skill in genjutsu what so ever. His taijutsu is pretty darn good. His stealth and trapping is amazing as I am sure you and the entire populace of Konoha are well aware." Tsuki said with a somewhat feral grin as she recalled some of Naruto's more inventive pranks. Her grin quickly faded as she moved onto his next set of skills "As for Fūinjutsu. Well he is an Uzumaki, if he can get a teacher who knows his way around seals he will be a seal master in no time." She said her tone changed to a more neutral as she continued to worry about the consequences of letting him learn Fūinjutsu.
Hiruzen nodded as she gave an overview of Naruto's skills, he winced when she mentioned Naruto's stealth and trapping skills, recalling a few of Naruto's pranks that he himself fallen victim to over the past few years. He turned his attention back to Tsuki as she finished giving her opinion on Naruto's skills.
"So aside from his Clone Jutsu he would be able to pass the exam?" he asked after thinking over the information she had given him.
"Yes, if not for the CLoone Jutsu he should be able to pass. He probably won't do that well on the written portions of the exam but most of the practical segments he will pass with no problem." She said with a smile. "But that brings us back to the previous issue. "Do we teach him a different Jutsu or make an exemption due to his chakra capacity?" She asked.
Hiruzen leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for a bit. 'This is a Problem. The exam is in a week, not enough time to teach him the Earth or Water Clone Jutsu, especially without knowing what his element is. That would leave one Clone jutsu left and it could be dangerous, for him and us. Though he might be perfect for it, maybe I should call a Hyuga in to check his chakra capacity and see if it will work.' He thought before opening his eyes again and looking at Tsuki.
"I might have the perfect Clone Jutsu for him, but I am worried that he might not have enough chakra for it, but if he does he will be a force to be reckoned with one he gets proper training." He explained.
Tsuki nodded. "I am pretty sure he will have enough chakra for whatever Jutsu you are thinking of but I am pretty sure we can easily find out." She said with a feral smile.
Hiruzen nodded. "I will ask a Hyuga to check his Chakra to see if he can handle it. If he can I will write out instructions for the jutsu I have in mind." Tsuki nodded in understand. "I will let you get to it then, I need to help Naruto prepare for the exam." She said before standing up. "Thank you for your time Lord Hokage." She said with a smile before walking out.
Once she left the room Hiruzen turned to one of the hidden ANBU in the room. "Go get Eagle and tell her that I have a simple errand for her that I need down ASAP." He ordered and felt the prescience of said ANUBU vanish and he continued working on some paper work.
He only had to wait a few minutes before the ANBU returned followed by another wearing an Eagle mask.
Hiruzen smiled and looked up at Eagle. "Eagle I need you to go check young Naruto's chakra reserves. He is having trouble learning the basic Clone jutsu. I want to see if his reserves are large enough for him to use the Shadow Clone jutsu." He explained. Said ANBU looked at him for a moment before nodding. "It will be done my Lord, is there anything you want me to do if he can handle the Jutsu?"
Hiruzen nodded. "Yes teach it to him, but be sure to emphasize that he is not to teach anyone how to use the jutsu. If he does not have enough Chakra then you can return here and we will figure out what clone jutsu to teach him." He explained.
Eagle nodded and vanished from the room. Hiruzen smiled and turned his attention back to the papers on the desk.
Eagle made his way across Konoha towards the Apartment Naruto was staying at. Upon arriving he glanced in the window and saw him pouring over some scrolls. He watched him for a bit before activating his Byakugan. His eyes widened as he looked at Naruto. 'His chakra reserves are absurd. How can he have that much at this age?' he thought before deactivating his eyes. He sighed before making his way into the apartment.
Naruto continued to work on his homework. He had just finished writing his report when his apartment door opened. He started up and turned towards the door as an ANBU enter. Naruto stiffened a bit and stood up straight. "C-can I help you?" he asked nervously.
The ANBU nodded. 'Uzumaki, I was asked by the Hokage to help you with your issue with the Clone Jutsu. Please come with me to a training ground so we can get started." He said in a very calm tone of voice.
Naruto blinked confused for a moment but nodded. "O-ok" he said and went to get his gear from his room. When he returned the ANBU was still waiting his in doorway.
"If you are ready follow me." He said and turned to walk out of the room.
Naruto silently followed him as they made their way to one of the training grounds. Onece they arrived the Eagle masked ANUB turned towards him. "The Jutsu I am going to teach you is a dangerous one. You are not to teach it to anyone without permission of the Hokage or your Jonin Sensei. Is ther understood?" he asked
Naruto nodded quickly. "Yes sir I understand." he replied.
Eagle looked at him for a moment before nodding. "Very well, this technique is called The Shadow Clone Jutsu. With this you create a physical copy of yourself. It can fight alongside you and use jutsu, however, it can only take one hit before being dispelled. DO you understand so far?" he asked, taking a break in his explanation.
Naruto nodded and waited for him to continue. "The down side to this Jutsu is the chakra cost is so how very few Jonin use it regularly. Another bonus is that anything your clone sees, reads, hears, smells or tastes with be returned to you, making it a great jutsu for spying and scouting with very little risk." Eagle said as he finished his explanation.
Naruto blinked and looked confused. "Wait. If the down side is the chakra cost then why are you teaching it to me?" he asked as he held back the urge to yell.
Eagle looked at him for a brief moment before answering. "You have more Chakra then most if not all Jonin I have seen in Konoha. Because of this you don't have enough control to make the basic clones. The Hokage believes you can use this jutsu in its place." He said
Naruto thought of what he said for a few moments before nodding. "Ok let's get started then." He said with a determined look in his eyes.
Eagle nodded and lifted his hands up, forming a cross with four of his fingers. "This in the hand sign for the Jutsu, for now practice and I will watch to try and help you figure out what you are doing right or wrong."
Naruto pouted a bit but nodded and started to attempt the jutsu. Eagle watched him during his attempts and smiled at his determination. 'He does not give up I will give him that.' He thought before speaking up. "Your using too light Chakra try to use a lot more." He suggested.
Naruto nodded in understanding and took a slow breath before trying again. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he called out and there was a puff of smoke. When it cleared there were six Narutos starting with the real one.
Eagle blinked in confusion but nodded. "I guess he has more control of his chakra then we thought" he said to himself. "Good job Naruto, now dispel them and try again, we want to make sure you can get this right all the time." He said before letting him continue.
Eagle continued to help Naruto out over the course of three hours before calling it. "Good job Uzumaki. I believe you have enough understanding of this jutsu to practice on your own. Remember not to make too many clones. The more clones you make the more chakra you use, also the more memories that come back along with a bigger headache so be careful." He said before vanishing.
Naruto nodded before collapsing on the ground, despite before tired he had a big smile on his face. "Finally I'm going to become a Ninja." He muttered as he gazed up at the sky.
Off to the side of the training ground Tsuki smiled as she kept an eye on Naruto. 'Good job Naruto. Now you just need to pass the exam itself' she thought to herself before making her way onto the field. 'Desipte the fact you are my Brother's prison, I hope you succeed in your goal'

As for the other story Iidea I have for Harry Potter, I am still waiting on more votes before deciding if I want to start writing it or wait for a bit.
