"Actually, the Chidori was inspired by the Six-tail. (1)" Kakashi's voice rang out. Naruto turned to see Kakashi sitting on a tree stump.

"Oh hey Kakashi-sensei. How long was I out?" Naruto asked.

"Don't worry. You were only out for the night." Kakashi answered. Naruto nodded and got out of the makeshift bed and stretched.

"Alright!" He shouted putting his fist in the air. "Time to get to work on Raiton: Chidori!"

"Actually, you can't yet." Kakashi said as-a-matter-of-factly. Naruto face-faulted. He shot up immediately though.

"What do you mean!?"

"Your speed needs to increase before you can use it." Kakashi stated.

"Then why didn't you train me in that before you taught me the original!?" Naruto shouted again.

Kakashi sweat dropped. "Actually… I forgot." He said bluntly. Naruto's jaw dropped.

"You... forgot?"

"Yes."

"That's it."

"Yes."

"…"

"…"

"I hate you."

"Alright! Let's begin!"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Naruto was running across a field over and over to increase his speed. This normally wouldn't be so bad… Except he was wearing 20lb a limb.

"Damn you Kakashi-sensei!!" Naruto shouted when he finished his 13th lap. Kakashi just ignored him.

Naruto kept running until he collapsed from exhaustion. That was around… his 56th lap. Kakashi walked over to him and tossed something next to his mouth.

"Eat it. It's a soldier pill." He said. Naruto obliged.

Naruto got up easily after that. Kakashi turned to Naruto.

"Now, I want you to do one more lap, but as fast as you possibly can without the weights."

Naruto nodded and took of the weights. He ran the lap in 1/3 the time he could normally run it. Kakashi nodded and smiled under his mask.

"Alright. Now we can get started on the Raiton:Chidori." Kakashi said.

"YATTA!" Naruto shouted.

"Alright Naruto. First, I need you to take this." Kakashi said as he threw Naruto a lightbulb.

Naruto caught it effortlessly. "What is this for?" He asked.

"It's for your Lightning chakra training. You need to light up that light bulb with lightning chakra alone." Kakashi explained.

Naruto pondered this for a moment before trying. The light bulb spark, but didn't light.

Kakashi was mildly impressed. Naruto actually used his lightning chakra and not his regular chakra on the first try.

Naruto thought for a little longer before asking a question that surprised Kakashi.

"How many light bulbs do you have?"

Kakashi looked thoughtful for a moment before saying," About 23."

Naruto nodded and put his hands together in a cross seal. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" and 23 Naruto's appeared.

Each one took a light bulb and began practicing. Naruto continued this for around 20 minutes before he dispelled them all, and re-made them.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow. 'Impressive thinking… Naruto dispelled them after a period of time and re-made them so they all have the knowledge and can get farther…'

Naruto continued the training for around an hour before…

"YATTA! I did it!" A random clone shouted.

Once Naruto heard this he dispelled them and re-created them for more practice with it.

After around five minutes all the Naruto's were doing it around perfectly. Naruto dispelled them and found that he could do it with ease. He turned to Kakashi.

"Alright Kakashi-sensei! I'm ready to begin learning the Raiton: Chidori!" He shouted.

Kakashi nodded and walked over to him.

"Alright. I took the liberty of making a 3-step plan that should help you use it." He said. Naruto nodded.

"First step, gather lightning chakra in your hand and make your it's enough to make electricity crackle around your hand, but weak enough not to draw attention."He explained. "If you do so correctly, you will use the jutsu, Raiton: Chidori Mahi."

When Naruto gave a confused look, Kakashi explained. "All of the elements of the Chidori have a weaker version that has a different effect, just in case you aren't aiming for a kill. Raiton: Chidori Mahi is a technique that stuns your opponent by sending small electric pulses through their body."

Naruto nodded and began to try. He immediately felt a burn on his hand.

He jumped in a shout before looking at Kakashi as if to say," What the hell was that?"

Kakashi chuckled. "What? Just because you have the Lightning element, you think your invulnerable to electricity? Heh, kids these days."

Naruto just glared at him before thinking. 'Hmm… If the lightning hurts me… then how can it be in my body at all? Well… The lightning really just comes from the chakra, so the chakra won't be effected by it! That's it!'

Naruto began to make another Chidori, but this time covered his hands with the remnants of the lightning chakra he was using for the technique. Kakashi watched with his Sharingan active.

'Brilliant… I knew you needed to cover your hands with chakra, but using the excess chakra that is made with every technique for it? Ingenious.' Kakashi thought.

Naruto continued this and got a Chidori Mahi in his hand. He began jumping and cheering at how he would totally beat Sasuke now.

Kakashi looked at the sky. "Oi, Naruto. Let's head in." he said as he walked towards the camp.

Naruto looked around. It was indeed, night. Naruto was surprised. He was so caught up in training, he didn't even realize the time!

Naruto walked back toward camp and went to sleep, eager for more training tomorrow.

Naruto waved at them. "Hey guys! How was your training!?" He shouted to them.

Sasuke, and Sakura walked up to him and smirked. "Much better than yours, that's for sure." Sasuke sneered. Sakura nodded. "Yeah. Odds are, you couldn't even finish learning your technique, let alone master it."

Naruto looked downcast for a moment before becoming angry. "Please! Mine could probably destroy both of your at once!" He argued, determined to get them back.

Kakashi finished reading through the memories that the Kage Bunshins had and spoke.

"If you're so anxious to show off your techniques, then why don't we have a little competition when we get back to the village?" Kakashi said.

The gennin looked at him. "What kind of competition?" Sakura asked.

"We go to the training grounds, each of you will demonstrate your jutsu and alterations and I will judge them." He said.

The others thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"Alright, I'm going to go to the Hokage to report. Meet me at training field 7 in one hour." He said and vanished.

Three hours later

Team 7 was at the training field when Kakashi showed up. After the usual "Late" rant, they got ready to begin. Naruto grinned.

'This is gonna be fun.'

There you have it! Chapter 4!

(1): The Rokubi no Raijuu, the six tail, is said to have power over thunder. So I used that as an inspiration for the attack.

Now listen up! I have a poll that I need votes for!

Poll 1: Which pairing?

OC

OC Harem

Secondly, I need suggestions for Sasuke's signature. I have Sakura's, but Sasuke is hard for me to think for. If you have an idea, please PM me!

Thanks for Reading!
