Hey guys I'm back, well sort of. I will be trying to update more often. Sorry that i have not been very quick at updating.
Just a short chapter to ease myself back into writing. Enjoy
Chapter 3.
Naruto sat on the swing outside the playground. The rest of the academy time went by quickly as Naruto was very deep in thought, how could he bring about a balance between his stamina and spiritual energies?
"What are you doing looking so down kid? Was the exam that bad?"
Naruto looked up to see Iruka.
"It was actually quite easy because I studied really hard… Iruka, how can I gain more spiritual energy? I realize I have a lot of stamina but very little spiritual energy. According to what I studied having a low amount of either component of chakra can lead to deficiencies in certain of the main shinobi components."
Iruka was quite shocked with the boy's comprehension of the chakra components. He was actually glad because he had come here to ask if the boy had cheated. But if he was questioning his own chakra makeup then he was obviously clued up on the work.
"Well Naruto you don't really need to worry about that because we only start helping you achieve balance in the last term of this year. You don't need to worry about being imbalanced. However I'm never one to miss lecturing so try keep up while I give you the basics of balance."
Naruto looked up with rapt attention, before looking slightly apprehensive.
"Iruka can we maybe study at my house, I have something I need to show you."
Iruka was perplexed. The boy in front of him, who usually paid no attention, was leading him back to his apartment so they could study. He walked with the boy through the streets of Konoha towards the boy's home.
Upon entering he was surprised to see the usual mess cleaned up. He turned to the apprehensive boy before asking in a kind tone
"What is it you wanted to show me?"
Naruto looked ashamed
"Well sensei a jounin named Kakashi showed me a technique and I used it to study. I think it counts as cheating."
Naruto put his hands together in a cross seal before saying "Kage Bunshin"
Iruka was to say the least, completely astounded. Scratch that he was flabbergasted. In front of him a boy not even a ninja yet had just used a technique that he himself could only hope to be able to use. You needed to have at massive chakra reserves to achieve the Kage bunshin jutsu. "It's called Kage bunshin, Iruka sensei and I made copies of myself and used them to study for the test. I wouldn't have thought to do that but Kakashi sensei told me it would help. Does it count as cheating because I won't use it if it's cheating?"
Iruka found himself facing a conundrum. It was not against the rules however it did give the boy a large advantage. Did he tell the boy that it was cheating or would it be better to allow the child to use it to benefit his career. The more Iruka thought about it the more he realized it wasn't unfair. Many families taught their children techniques that helped them in the academy. The Nara family kids excelled in written tests and the Akamichi clan kids excelled in taijutsu. It wasn't too much of an advantage to Naruto as it would only help him study easier.
"No Naruto it is not quite cheating."
"Awesome now can you teach me about balance." With that said the three Naruto clones.
Iruka prepared to begin his lecture when another Naruto walked in carrying a tray of Tea and biscuits.
"Alright I have to know how many can you make? Normal people can only make like two or three, Right now I see four."
Naruto looked a little taken aback. "I don't actually know the maximum I can make. But I have made like five before but I haven't stretched the limits because Kakashi-sensei said it could be dangerous so I have tried to not push it too far. But now I think it is time for a lecture."
Iruka now a little more settled but still rather amazed begun to get into the lecture,
"As you know Chakra is comprised of two constituents, namely stamina and spiritual energy. These in your optimal ninja are kept in balance. This allows for the maximum strength to cost effectiveness for all ninja activities. However in real life no one is perfect and so there is almost always an imbalance in the ration of spiritual energy to stamina. In general there is a 55:65 ration of one to the other. But in some people it is different. I have even heard of people who specialize in having a lot more of one than the other. The best way to increase your stamina is through doing physical exercise. Increasing spiritual energy occurs through the acquisition of knowledge and experience. If you want to gain more experience you will need to learn things, which can be done by reading or talking with people about things you don't know and also by Training. Training is a good way because it boosts your stamina and your experience. If you want to be truly strong you need to not only have them in balance but also in huge amounts. As it looks now you have extremely high stamina and I'm going to be frank, surprisingly low spiritual energy. One last thing, having large amounts of Stamina means you'll have a high endurance and chakra reserve. Whereas having high spiritual energy will allow you to use less Chakra to pull off Jutsu's. So if you have huge amounts of both in equal amounts you will have a hard time getting worn out."
The Naruto's thought about this for a short while before they each dispelled themselves until the only one left was Naruto. He seemed a little dazed but after a few seconds he seemed to snap back to reality. "That makes sense sensei. So I should Study and read a lot and then I will be able to get a lot of spiritual energy. I'll make 5 clones everyday and then I'll always study."
"You will most definitely not. I don't want you over working yourself. You can make copies but don't over use it or you could cause damage to yourself."
Naruto looked sufficiently cowed but decided that he needed to ask his sensei a serious question. H had a plan that he wanted to implement that would surely give him a great advantage.
"Sensei I have a favor to ask…"
What did you guys think. Hope it was okay. Please read and review and tell me what you think. Should i give Naruto a weakness or something to hamper him.
I'm also looking for team suggestions. I'm up for any team or leader but not team 7.
