Naruto: Chapter 2 – Training Anew

"Okay. Continue putting wind-natured chakra into your Rasengan" said Kakashi.

Naruto replied "Kakashi-sensei, do you think you can teach me Shunshin no jutsu"

Kakashi thought for a moment then said "Yes, but we should be concentrating more on developing your new jutsu. But here's what we will do, make a thousand clones. Have 800 try to develop the new jutsu and have the other 200 learn Shunshin no jutsu"

Kakashi formed a seal and said "Kage Bunshin no jutsu." Kakashi's clone appeared beside him and said "Okay, have the 200 follow me across the lake so there will be no distractions between the two groups."

Naruto nodded, formed a seal and said "Tajuu Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" Naruto looked around at his bunshins and said "200 of us please go with Kakashi-sensei's bunshin across the lake."

"Yosh!" said many of Naruto's bunshin and started to march off.

The original Kakashi looked at the remaining Narutos and said "Good. Begin."

Half of the 800 formed chakra onto a partners hand to begin forming the Rasengan. Once formed, the same half tried putting wind chakra onto the blue, round sphere. Partners took turns forming the rasengan. Because of the numerous number of Narutos, wind came about in all directions, growing stronger every second. At times, a bunshin would accidentally touch a rasengan and be gone in a puff of smoke, forcing the partner to re-summon a counterpart bunshin. Others would just try to add more chakra into the rasengan and soon disappear out of pure fatigue, but the partner would summon another counterpart bunshin.

Kakashi looked on.


Meanwhile, with the 2nd group

"Ok, Shunshin no jutsu is a teleportation jutsu with a D-rank. In truth, this jutsu is just a really, really high-speed movement technique. You use chakra to boost your movement, so, it would appear as if you teleported. It's a pretty easy jutsu to do, but chakra usage depends on the distance of where you intend to go." said the bunshin Kakashi.

"Hmm, I remember when I fought with Neji, I used the nine-tails' chakra and I was noticeably faster." asked one of the Narutos.

"Yes. Gai told me about that. But for this technique, you must be faster than when you fought with Neji ….like this." And as fast as a blink Kakashi was gone in a puff of smoke.

The bunshins looked in shock at the spot where Kakashi was and began to look around to see where he had gone to.

"Up here." Kakashi was now on top of the tallest tree branch of a nearby tree. And before the Naruto bunshins could say a word, Kakashi disappeared again to appear at the original spot of where he'd been.

"Wow!" "Cool!" "That was fast!" said the Naruto bunshins simultaneously.

"Sometimes, others would make a distraction so that the opponents' attention is not focused on the jutsu user" said Kakashi with hands in his pockets "Don't forget, the farther you plan to go, the more chakra is needed to get to that area. Any more questions?"

"Yes, could you please explain the concept one more time? I didn't understand it the first time" said a bunshin with a sheepish grin.

Kakashi closed his eyes and sighed in desperation.


Sunset. Shunshin no jutsu group

The Bunshin Kakashi was sitting on a rock in the shade while reading a book. He looked up at the sky to judge the time and said "Naruto, lets go back to the house. It's almost supper time."

"That's okay Kakashi-sensei. We'll just keep on training here."

"No. You'll be too tired to train tomorrow if you do it too much. And besides, you've made some progress. You are significantly faster just using your own chakra now."

Naruto smiled and only redoubled his efforts.

"Hai, hai, hai." said Kakashi while waving his hand up and down. "I'll go ahead of you then." And with that the bunshin Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.


New Jutsu group

The real Kakashi was standing on the front steps of the house looking at the 800 Narutos lying on the ground exhausted. After the bunshin Kakashi disappeared, knowledge of the other group's progress and development of Icha-icha tactics came to him from the knowledge of his bunshin.

"Seems like some progress has been done with the other group at least" thought Kakashi. "Naruto, I'm going in to start making dinner for us. That is enough training for today."

The original Naruto looked at Kakashi as he walked into the house and thought "Dammit! This new jutsu is hard! It's been days since I started training and I still don't know if I'm making progress or not. I wonder how the other 200 of me is doing."

"Go to the side of the other 200" said the demon fox.

Naruto jolted in surprise then thought "What for? I'm still training on developing the new jutsu on this side."

"Your not getting anywhere on this new jutsu. Go to the others. The body flicker is a simple jutsu, and with my help, you can learn it quickly."

Naruto started to run to the other side of the lake, towards the second group.

When Naruto arrived Kyuubi said "Have half of your bunshins disappear."

"Why?"

"Baka! Must you question everything I say? In doing so, their knowledge of what Kakashi has taught them will transfer to you and will save time for further explanation!"

Naruto called the attention of the second group then said "Will a hundred of you please release the clone technique so that I can know what Kakashi-sensei has taught us so far."

After that, some of the bunshins nodded their head and disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving behind the other half left.

Naruto stood quietly for a moment as the knowledge of the bunshins came to him.

Then Kyuubi said "Your bunshins did not analyze what Kakashi said thoroughly. He said to do it in less than a second. Tell them to charge the chakra at the center of the mass and compress it tightly. Focus all your senses on the desired spot. Then suddenly release the compressed chakra and go to the intended area. The momentum of the release is the key point of this jutsu."

"Momentum……okay."

"Alright everyone, this is what Kyuubi said…"

Kakashi had finished preparing the meal and walked outside to call Naruto. To his mild surprise, all but one Naruto was left. Naruto was walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Don't tell him."

Naruto stopped on his tracks and thought "Why not?"

"You do not give all your secrets to everyone. Some things must be left for you and for you alone. Otherwise you are like an open book for all to see. The element of surprise is a menacing advantage. Use it."

"On Kakashi-sensei?"

"No….on everyone."

"What's wrong Naruto?" asked Kakashi.

"N...nothing, sensei. I…I was just trying to guess what you were cooking from the smell" replied Naruto.

Kakashi smiled and said "Katsu don (breaded pork cutlet on rice). I think you'll like it."

"Alright! Hehe." And with that, Naruto ran inside with Kakashi trailing behind.

On the table was a large bowl. "That's yours. I already ate my share" said Kakashi.

Naruto sat down broke his chopsticks and yelled "Itadakimas!"

Kakashi had gone ahead to his room on the second floor. "Probably gonna continue reading that Icha-icha tactics book" thought Naruto.

"Go to the secret room" said Kyuubi.

Naruto jolted in surprise and thought "Damn fox, stop scaring me like that!"

"What do you want me to do? Whisper to you? Baka! Just go!"

Naruto walked to the room while mumbling curses to the demon fox.

"There is something hidden in the table..."

Naruto walked over to the singe table where the katana was laid when first they arrived and looked at it thoroughly. There was no light in the room but that of coming from the next room. Naruto lit a candle he found in one of the shelves and held the candle over the desktop. He could now see a very faint line in the form of a square in the center. He would've totally missed it if he wasn't looking for anything out of the ordinary and wondered how the Kyuubi knew about it.

"Perhaps it is sealed by a blood seal."

"There are no markings to smear blood on. Maybe..." Naruto put his hand on the center of the faint rectangular cut out and applied chakra.

"Nothing..." Naruto sighed and leaned on his hand that was resting when the panel suddenly pressed down and slid out making Naruto loose his balance and bang his chin on the table edge and pouring hot wax on his cheek.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!" said Naruto, getting on his feet and rubbing a hand on his chin and then wiping the dried wax from his cheek.

"What is inside?"

Naruto reluctantly approached the table and looked at the deep, hidden compartment, still rubbing his sore chin. "There are 2 scrolls, a big one and a smaller one." Naruto picked up the two scrolls and turned them so he could read the labels. "Hmmm…Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) and...a summoning contract!" Naruto placed the scrolls aside and saw a letter in the bottom of the compartment. He picked it up and read it. "It's from Father…"

Naruto,

I hope you find this. These 2 scrolls are hidden jutsus of our village. The summoning contract was a gift from Sandaime-sama and the Hiraishin no Jutsu I pass on to you. Inside the jutsu scroll are detailed instructions so you can train by yourself. Keep them secret and pass them on only to the next of kin whom you deem is worthy.

Naruto opened the Hiraishin no Jutsu scroll and read the contents, hoping that the demon fox would help him somehow when he trained. "Hmmm, it says here that this jutsu is similar to a summoning technique in concept. But instead of a summoning, you summon yourself to the intended area…huh?" thought Naruto while scratching his head. Naruto finished reading the scroll, headed for a shelf with boxes and peeked inside one. The contents were written jutsus cut-outs and not more than 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. The written markings were similar to that of the markings on the 3-pronged kunai.

"These are the trigger markers.."

Naruto grunted in agreement. "The scroll said that these are needed as part of the jutsu but that the special kunai would also work."

"Try them…"

Naruto shrugged, closed his eyes and focused chakra on the trigger marker and tossed it.

"Do you know where it landed?"

Naruto was very surprised that he actually knew where it landed exactly. "Ye...yes. It stuck on the base of the bookcase with the scrolls on them. At my rear right side."

"Good. Equip these. You might need them soon."

Naruto was thinking the same thing and put some in his equipment pouch. "Now for the summoning contract.." Naruto opened the larger scroll and found the note from his father while also noting that the last 2 names signed on the contract were the only ones familiar to him. Sarutobi, and Uzumaki Arashi. Naruto read the note while trying to memorize the hand seals for the summoning. He pocketed the note, bit his thumb, signed the contract and rolled it up again. After returning it at the compartment, he sealed the panel and started to do the series of hand seals.

"Wait. Do it outside."

"Why? It's cold out there."

"Stupid brat! You don't even know what you are summoning!"

"I do! It's supposed to be a monkey!"

"And do you know how big it is?"

Naruto couldn't think of a witty comeback, so he trudged on outside. "Fine! I'm outside already! Now stop bugging me!"

Naruto saw that blood was still present on his thumb and started doing the hand seals. "O-ushi, Uma, Ryu, Inu, Saru (Ox, horse, dragon, dog, monkey)""Kuchiyose no jutsu!"

Seal markings appeared in a straight line away from Naruto, and smoke burst from the ground. When the smoke had cleared, a large monkey, much taller than Naruto and with white hair was standing before him.

"Who…are you?" said Enma.
