Chapter 2

"…Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Said Jiraiya.

"Huh?"

"It's actually your Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." explained Jiraiya.

"Huh? What about it?" questioned Naruto.

"That's the method to shorten your training." Said Jiraiya.

"…Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu? What do you mean?"Questioned Naruto not understanding what he meant.

"Alright, I'll explain it you from now on, listen up."

"Please make it as simple as possible!"

"Yeah, Yeah. You already know that instead of making just another copy of yourself, like when you use the Bunshin no jutsu, you actually make actual bodies. In other words, it's a jutsu that creates an actual human copy of yourself. I can't use the Kage Bunshin as well as you can but I know the effect it has on the user. You've used it constantly so you've probably noticed…" explained Jiraiya.

"And what's that?" asked Naruto

"When the jutsu is undone and the Kage Bunshin copies return to the original the things they experience add up to become the original's experience as well.

Naruto had a weird look on his face that said he didn't understand a thing Jiraiya said."I said make it simple."

"So you haven't noticed, huh?"

"Which is why I don't get anything you're saying."

"Alright first let's go to the forest. We will be able to train there and I can explain the powers of a Kage Bunshin.

They made their way into the forest until they found a clearing

"Alright this place is good. Okay so let's both make a Kage Bunshin."

"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" they both yelled as they performed the technique.

Two Kage Bunshin appeared one of Naruto and one of Jiraiya.

"Ok! Then let's split up into the original pair and the Kage Bunshin pair. The Kage Bunshin are going to hide in the woods. Make yours follow mine, Naruto." said Jiraiya

The Kage Bunshin pair moved into the forest.

(With the Kage Bunshin)

"Okay, the two of us are in the woods so the originals can't see us. We're just going to play Rock-Paper-Scissors."

"Why?" questioned Naruto's clone.

"Come on. We don't have all day." insisted Jiraiya

"Jan Ken Pon!" They both yelled as they thrust their hand forward. Naruto's hand was in the form for paper and Jiraiya's hand was in the form for rock.

(With the originals)

"What are those clones doing?" questioned Naruto.

"You'll find out soon gaki" said Jiraiya.

(With the Kage Bunshin)

"Yeah! I won!" yelled Naruto's clone.

"Okay, let's release the jutsu." Said Jiraiya.

"Ossu!"

(With the originals)

"So? You know what they were doing now, right? Asked Jiraiya.

"I won at our Rock-Paper-Scissors game."

"You understand now, right? Anything a Kage Bunshin learns or experiences will go back to the original body."

"I get it. I guess I just never noticed what happens until now."

"Well, this jutsu was originally meant to be used for scouting dangerous places and spying in enemy territory to gather information so…" explained Jiraiya.

"…And so what? What does it have to do with shortening the time it takes to train."

"Ok, Ok, I'll explain that too."

"Hurry up! Come on!"

"…So, if you use the Kage Bunshin and do the same training with the two of you then you gain two-times the amount of experience."

"Okay, Okay!"

"In other words if you have two clones do the same training, the required training time can be cut into half. If there are three, it'll be 1/3 the time, and with 1000, it'll be 1/1000."

"I see…"

"So if training takes you two days, with the clone it would take you one, even something that would take you twenty years, with a thousand clones it would take a week."

"Oh! That's a great plan!"

"Of course you shouldn't underestimate my genius." Bragged Jiraiya

"Alright Naruto I want you to come here tomorrow at 8:00 am so we can start your training."

"Ehh! Why can't we start now?"

"That is because it is already dusk." explained Jiraiya.

(Nighttime)

Jiraiya and Ebisu are talking directly in front of Naruto's window.

"Sorry about that, Ebisu… taking your pupil from you."Apologized Jiraiya.

"Not at all! I was just surprised. Hokage-sama has been looking for you for a long time without even a trace, nobody expected you to be in this village. So it's because of Orochimaru."

"No… sorry but that isn't why…" "Huh?" "I just came here to work on my novels. I'm the type that doesn't like to stick his neck into trouble"

"You must understand too…! Against one of those 'Three Ninjas', Orochimaru. Another of the three is needed… we need your strength Jiraiya-sama!"

(Next Morning)

The moment Naruto woke up, he ate got dressed and rushed into the forest anxious to begin training.

"Morning Ero-Sennin! So what'll we be doing today?!" asked Naruto.

"Morning Gaki! Alright first of all I need to ask what is the maximum amount of clones that you can make? I have also been meaning to ask what the hell is with that jumpsuit?!" asked Jiraiya as he looked upon the orange monstrosity.

"Huh I don't know I never checked and what wrong with this jumpsuit?!" asked an angry Naruto he took personal offense when someone insulted his jumpsuit."

"Well there are hundreds of things that are wrong with that jumpsuit but I won't bore you with the details so I will only name a few:

It completely destroys your attempts to hide.A ninja never wears bright colors."

"So! I was still able to put graffiti on the Hokage Monument without anyone noticing me until I was almost finished! Even then the ANBU weren't able to catch me! Iruka-sensei was always the one that caught me in the end."

'What! He was able to avoid the ANBU wearing that?! And what did he mean by putting graffiti on the Hokage Monument?!' Thought a flabbergasted Jiraiya. 'Have the standards of the ANBU decreased so much that they can't even catch an academy student wearing that orange monstrosity?'

"So Ero-Sennin what will we do today?"seemingly forgetting Jiraiya insulted his precious jumpsuit.

"Huh? Oh, yeah first I want you to create as many clone as you can but make sure that they won't disappear for a while they need to be somewhat resilient."

"Huh? How do I do that?"questioned Naruto looking confused.

"Just give them more chakra than usual. Hurry up gaki!"

"Got it Ero-Sennin!" replied Naruto as he formed the Clone Seal.

"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" yelled Naruto as he performed the jutsu.

There was a large explosion of smoke as the Kage Bunshin came into existence. The smoke soon faded away to leave 200 shadow clones visible.

'Impossible! Is it even possible to create this many shadow clones and only be slightly winded.'

Jiraiya slowly focused and said,"Alright I want 50 of the clones to go do the tree walking exercise."

"But I can already do it!"Complained Naruto.

"Oh really. So if I told you to climb that tree and reach the top you will be able to?"

"Of course. Watch me." Naruto rushed towards the tree and started running up but he only managed to take to steps before he slipped and fell.

"Huh! How is that possible?! I was able to do it no problem before."

"You can't do it because when you were hit in the stomach by Orochimaru in the forest he completely ruined your chakra control. I'm afraid you will have to build it from scratch."

"Another 50 will do the Water walking exercise. I want another 50 to go to the Konoha library to read anything that might be useful."

"EHH! No way, that so boring. I'm not doing it!"

"I don't care if it's boring they will do it or I will destroy all your jumpsuits and make sure you can't eat Ramen this entire month."

"And how are you going to do that." Challenged Naruto.

"By having a clone following you around this entire month. And destroying any ramen you get close to." said a smirking Jiraiya.

"Fine, fine just don't do anything to my jumpsuits or my ramen." conceded Naruto

"Good the clone that are going to the library will Henge into different individuals so that people will not panic when they see 50 more people than usual in the library. The ANBU would probably take you in for questioning thinking that you are a Spy." explained Jiraiya.

"Fine! What will I be doing and what about the remaining 50 clones? What will they be doing?" asked Naruto since he noticed that Jiraiya hadn't mentioned what they will be doing.

"Oh, you will stay with me for some Taijutsu training and don't worry about them; I have something special in mind just for them."
