Chapter 19

Naruto and Jade arrived at the spot that the black haired boy had chosen. The meadow was amazing, it was far from Konoha so if used Kiubi chakra wasn't going to be felt by the village, there was a river flowing threw it and many trees surrounded it. - Now, Naruto, I want you to make two groups of 5 clones each. One of the groups will use chakra to scale the trees and the other will use chakra to try and walk on river. The water walking is more difficult than tree climbing but it is necessary to learn chakra control.
- Understood Jade- Naruto sed and made 12 clones - Why 12?
-Because the last two will help us in setting the camp
- Good idea

With the help of the clones, the camp was erected in an hour and few fish were roasting over the fire. Jade smiled and looked at Naruto before showing him chakra papers and explained that it was used to find the nature of the chakra of the user.
- So this will help me with jutsu?
- Yes, now you push your chakra in it and if the paper becomes soggy your element is water, if it burns its fire, if it crumbles it is earth, if it is cut in two it is wing, and if it wrinkles its lightening. Now some families have elemental chakra that is hereditary.
- Truly?
- Yes, look at the Uchiha, a good portion of them have fire as their element. The Great fire ball is important to them and it is a rite of passage for them. Now push some chakra in the paper.- Naruto did that and the paper split in two and the corners became damp.
- Impressive, you have two chakra affinities, wind and water, furthermore when you have practice enough with them you will be able to use ice release- Jade sed.
- I presume this is good?
- Yes, now wind is weak against fire but strong against lightening. Now I don't know what Sasuke affinities are, however I am sure that at least one is fire. This mean that you two can do a combination jutsu. You can reinforce his fire with your wind and with practice you'l be able to unlock scorch release, this is a combination of fire and air, but you must trust each other very much as scorch release is very destructive as well as storm release
- Storm release?
- Yes, the combination of water and lightening. Now I want you to dismiss the first group of clones and in 10-15 minutes the second group.
- That was another question, why did I need to make these clones, I through that we'll be training but that hadn't happened.
- You seriously don't know the benefit of shadow clones?- Jade asked
- Benefits?
- Oh, boy...now shadow clones are perfect foe training as they are physical clones of you. This makes training easier as they can use chakra
- I know that.
- Yes, but apparently what you don't know is that they can transfer knowledge. Now during our camp preparations these two groups have been doing chakra control exercises. Now as they dispel you'll obtain their knowledge.
- So in essence, shadow clones will speed my training.
- Yes, however there are few rules, now they can transfer mental effort but no physical one, which means that while you clines are doing chakra exercises you must do any physical ones. With me so far?
- Yes.
- Now the second and most important things. You will dispel your clones in a small groups, otherwise you'll get at best a headache and at worst you'll be out of it for a long time. Now usually this is no problem for an average ninja can do around 3 as their max. The ninjas on Kakashi level can do 5 at max. Now Itachi can do at max 7 clones, Ruy 8, Mia 9 and I can do at most 10 clones. You because of the Kiubi you can produce in the hundreds.
- Understood, however how you three can produce so many clones?
- Our magic- Jade sed- Now dispel them in groups of five and after that try the tree and water walking.
- Ok.

Naruto dispelled his clones at groups while waiting few minutes between the two groups, and then he went for the trees and ascended one very quickly. After he had finished with the tree climbing he turned toward the river and cautiously stepped on it and managed to do few steps before sinking in it. He looked at Jade and saw his brother looking at him with pride and smiled back. the blond haired boy concentrated and using chakra he managed to return to the surface of the river and slowly while regulating his chakra output returned to the shore.
- Good job- Jade sed- Now let me show you something, and for today the training is over. The only thing that is needed for you is to watch me in the eyes.

Naruto nodded and looked at his brother and soon he found himself infront of what he believed to be a castle, like he never have seen. This castle was made only from stone, there wasn't anything familiar to him. He noticed movement to his right and saw Jade next to him.
- Where are we, aniki?
- This is my mindscape, and this castle is Hogwarts
- You mean your school
- Yes, this is what it used to look before its destruction. Now let's go I want to show you something.

Jade then started to walk and Naruto followed him. Soon the boy noticed movement in front of him and noticed few animals. The creatures where like anything he ever have seen. All of them were shinning and were made of white mist. The boy stopped as he noticed the animals turning toward him. Scared he started to go for his weapons, but was stopped by Jade hand.
- Don't be scared, as you are with me. They won't attack you.
- What are they?
- The creatures are representation of my original family. You see my father, my godfather and my mother could turn into animals to help one of their friends. - That so cool. Who is who?
- The stag is the representation of my biological father, the black dog is is my godfather, the tiger was my mother animagus form and the wolf is for their last loyal friend who was a werewolf.
- What about the last animal?- Naruto pointed at the strange creature. The creature had the body of a leopard, with red wings, and the tail was a serpent body.
- This is my last guardian...
- Your animal form?
- No it is a type of chimera, which is a magical creature composed of different creatures. For example this chimera has the head and body of a leopard, the tail is a snake, and the wings are that of a phoenix.
- This is a combination of your familiars- Naruto understood .- Yes. Now the castle is where I store my secrets and these five are its guardians.
- Why did you show me this?
- Basically, I showed you this, because this is the end goal that you must strive for in your interaction with the Kiubi. It will be difficult, however with work is doable. Now, I don't expect you to do all this in one month, however, if we manage to starting putting up the base will be a huge victory
- I understand- Naruto sed
- Now, it is time to rest.

Meanwhile in Konoha

Jiraya was getting irritated with Naruto. He wanted to teach the gaki how to summon toads and other stuff however neither him nor Minato knew where his son and Jade were. He heard a door opening and turned toward his student.
- So where is the gaki, Minato.
- Not at home, however I found this.- the hokage showed his teacher a letter, and Jiraya took it to see what was written on it.

Hey Dad,

I have elected to go and train with Jade during this month break. I overheard you and the Pervy Sage talking about my training and to tell you the truth I am not keen of having Jiraya teaching me. The reason: his womanizing ways. I hate how he uses his time to spy on women in the hot springs. I am sure that he'll give me some jutsu to give me something to do and go look for "material" for his next book. I consider the exams important, so what is why I have asked Jade to train me. He had accepted and we are leaving the village for few few weeks to train as I know that Jade will proceed seriously about my training and not leave me on my own as I am sure Jiraya will be doing.

See you soon

Naruto

The hokage and Jiraya looked at the letter a long time, then Minato turned toward his teacher and just sed.
- He got you there- Jiraya could only helplessly watch as Minato left him and headed for his office while his laugh echoed after him
