Training
Naruto walked into the Hokage's office and saw the relief instantly on Minato's face. His mother had met them at the entrance to the village so he had already seen just how worried she could be and now it was his father's turn. Kakashi reported the events of the mission, stating how impressed he was with Naruto's skill. After the report was finished, Minato dismissed everyone except Naruto and the all left.
"Your mother is going to flip out when she finds out you fought Zabuza," Minato stated.
"No doubt," Naruto agreed. "He was less of a threat to me than Haku was though."
"I'll bet," Minato nodded. "You are...not like other children Naruto. You probably know what happened when Haku nearly killed Sasuke."
"The Nine-tails' chakra broke through the seal to give me the strength to continue the fight, weakening the seal in the process," Naruto guessed. "I'll be fine though."
"You need to learn to fight better yourself so that you don't need to use that chakra until you can control the Nine-tails," Minato stated. "I believe it's time."
Naruto's eyes widened and he grinned and nodded.
"First, however, you have to tell your mother about the mission," Minato stated.
"Alright," Naruto sighed. "Where should we meet to train?"
"The same training ground that you took the bell test in," Minato decided. "Bring your kunai."
Naruto nodded and left to tell his mother everything that had happened. She reacted as they had both expected, trying to lock Naruto in the house to protect him but relenting when she learned that Minato was going to teach him the teleportation jutsu.
"Get going then," Kushina sighed.
Naruto nodded and left, heading to the training ground where Minato was waiting. He had set up several dummies and targets and had his own kunai that matched Narutos with him.
"There you are," Minato smiled. "Alright, the first thing you should know about this jutsu, is that it takes more chakra than most people think. It also cost more to take anything else with you. You will be able to use it with less chakra the better you get at it."
Naruto nodded as Minato explained how to actually perform the jutsu.
"Another thing you need to be able to do is create the seal on any surface you touch," Minato stated. "This is relatively easy and requires no hand seals."
Minato demonstrated by placing a seal on a target simply by placing his hand on it. Naruto spent the first hour trying to learn to do that but after an hour of failing, Minato decided that he should learn the jutsu first then practice placing seals after. Minato summed up how to do the jutsu again and then demonstrated, throwing a kunai to the ground beside one of the dummies then moved to it and rested his arm on the dummy's shoulder.
"Now you try," Minato stated.
Naruto threw his own kunai then followed his father's instructions to get to the seal and suddenly was over the kunai, however, he lost his balance and orientation and stumbled falling to the ground. Minato laughed but helped him up and smiled.
"That was great," Minato stated. "I expected you to have to try a few times to be able to do it. Now work on keeping your balance."
Naruto nodded and threw another kunai, then teleported to it. He stayed on his feet a bit longer but then fell. He stood and tried again. After about a half hour, he was able to do it without losing his balance.
"Good," Minato smiled. "Now, there is a range limit to this jutsu. For me it's about a mile so for you, it will likely be a few hundred feet. It will increase as you improve at using it."
Naruto nodded and continued to practice using the jutsu. Minato was shocked at how fast he picked it up but smiled. After a while, Naruto practiced attacking as he arrived at his new spot. After a few hours, he was low on chakra so he instead practiced placing seals. After another two hours, he was able to place the seals relatively easily.
"Good," Minato sighed finally, as it grew dark. "How about we go get something to eat? Tomorrow I'll teach you to change your Chakra nature and form."
Naruto smiled and nodded and they headed back home just as Kushina finished setting the table.
"There you are," Kushina smiled. "How'd it go?"
Naruto sighed and adopted a depressed face.
"I failed miserably," Naruto moped walking past his chair and placing a seal on it as he did. "That jutsu's hard."
Kushina smiled sympathetically and nodded and Naruto and Minato walked to the bathroom and washed their hands then both grinned and teleported to their chairs, arriving at the same time just as Kushina was about to sit down.
"You...you liar!" Kushina laughed. "Well, at least you can avoid dying now."
"I'm also going to teach him the Rasengan," Minato stated. "I think he'll do very well at it."
Kushina nodded and they ate as Minato and Kushina talked about how their days went. When they were done, Naruto went to bed so that he would be rested for training the next day.
Naruto sat on top of the post as Minato rummaged through his things for the paper that would somehow tell them what chakra nature Naruto had. Kakashi, who had been released from the hospital, finally sighed and pulled out three pieces handing one to Naruto and the other to Minato and Minato just rubbed the back of his head as Naruto sometimes did and thanked him.
"Alright," Minato began. "All you have to do is channel your chakra into it. If you have Lightning Type, it will crumple, if you have Earth Type it will crumble, Fire Type will make it burn, Water will make it get wet, and Wind Type will make it split in half."
Kakashi and Minato demonstrated, Kakashi's crumpling and Minato's splitting down the middle. Naruto channeled his own in and it also split. Minato smiled and took the pieces of paper.
"Good," Minato smiled. "Now, create a few clones so that you can learn Rasengan, Kakashi can teach you change of Chakra form, and the other can train with the teleportation jutsu."
Naruto created two clones and Kakashi walked away with one as the other threw one kunai then stuck another at his feet and began to teleport between the two seals, moving the one he teleported to further away each time to test his range. After about thirty minutes, he reached his max at just under half a mile. He released his jutsu and disappeared.
"Alright," Minato applauded as Naruto managed to break the rubber ball Minato had given him. "Now, you need to keep it contained. Then, you can make it this."
Minato held his hand out and formed a Rasengan in it the size of his head.
"Eventually you'll learn to make them bigger too but for now, just stick with trying to make one. When complete, they should do this," Minato stated turning toward a tree as it shrunk to a small ball then smashed it into a tree.
It didn't explode as Kushina had always said it did but left a small crater with a spiral track around the outside. Naruto nodded and tried to form one of his own. After a moment, it looked about the same as Minato's had but when he smashed it into the tree, it exploded and left two craters, one inside the other. It also burned Naruto's hand and he groaned and shook his hand.
"That was close," Minato sighed. "Keep trying."
Just then, Kakashi told Naruto's other clone to release its jutsu since he had taught it all he could for the time being.
"I think we should try to teach Naruto to fight and have him practice the Rasengan later," Kakashi suggested walking over. "Clone brawl style."
"Alright, how?" Minato nodded.
"We create clones and he tries to kill as many as possible before being overwhelmed," Kakashi suggested.
"I'll use clones too," Naruto suggested. "That way you don't need to hold back. But no teleporting dad."
Minato grinned and nodded and he and Kakashi created fifty clones each and Naruto crated one. The clones surrounded Naruto's clone and then began attacking him. Naruto's clone instantly leapt over them, creating a Rasengan as best he could and blasting a group of clones with it to clear a landing spot then began spinning into action, fighting the clones that were attacking him with everything from kunai to swords, to arrows, to bows and arrows. He avoided the projectiles and began to destroy clones, taking the weapons they dropped. He took a pair of kunai after a moment and began destroying clones left and right. After killing about twenty, however, a Kakashi drove a sword through its heart. The clone disappeared and Kakashi and Minato replenished their own clone count. Naruto created another clone and this time Minato and Kakashi gave him some room.
They began to rush forward, a massive line of clones and Naruto's clone rushed to meet them. He kicked a Kakashi clone sending it crashing through the clones and chased it avoiding and redirecting attacks every now and then. Finally he reached an area where a large number of clones had disappeared allowing him a wide circle to fight in. Clones began to rush at him a few at a time and he fought the same way the last clone had, this time taking a sword and fighting with it mostly by avoiding Kakashi and Minato's attacks then eliminating them. Minato and Kakashi shared a surprised look at his potential with a sword then created another hundred clones each which joined the rest of the clones and surged toward Naruto's clone. The clone's sword suddenly broke, the blade spinning into the air. The clone drove the hilt with the remaining inch of the blade into one of Kakashi's clones hearts then leapt into the air kicking the blade at one of Minato's clones and killing it then flipping over and creating a Rasengan as a Minato below him created the same thing. The two Rasengans collided before exploding and destroying every clone.
Naruto wiped his forehead and Minato and Kakashi both bent forward, panting at the amount of chakra the Shadow Clone jutsu took.
"Want to get lunch?" Naruto suggested.
Minato nodded then grinned at Naruto.
"Where did you learn to use a sword?" Minato questioned.
Naruto shrugged and Minato and Kakashi laughed. They left to get something to eat, Minato and Kakashi silently agreeing to teach Naruto to use a sword, then returned to the training ground to continue his training.
"Alright Naruto," Minato sighed not particularly excited about making more clones. "We're going to continue but this time, your clone is going to have a sword to use until he is destroyed. Here."
Minato tossed Naruto a katana and Naruto caught it then created his clone who had its own sword.
"If your clone's sword breaks, he can take a weapon from our clones," Minato stated. "Shall we Kakashi?"
Kakashi nodded and they both created a hundred clones who instantly charged at Naruto's clone. Naruto's clone did the same and began tearing into Minato and Kakashi's clones, struggling to find room to fight and having to block several attacks at once the entire time. Finally he created a Rasengan and smashed it into a Kakashi clone destroying about fifteen clones and clearing a space. The rest of the clones charged and Naruto began avoiding and blocking attacks while killing clones. A Kakashi threw a kunai just past Naruto with a paper bomb and Naruto leapt away from it, creating another Rasengan and obliterating a group of clones that had moved to catch him with their swords. Minato realized that Naruto's Rasengans were now nearly perfect and a couple of his clones created Rasengans as several Kakashi and Minato clones charged forward with swords, distracting Naruto from the Minatos with Rasengans.
Naruto's clone destroyed several of the Kakashi and Minato clones but the last blocked his attack and broke his sword and Naruto's clone stepped out of the way of the other clone's blade then drove the hilt of his own into the clone's abdomen, taking the sword then turning in time to move his head sideways out of the way of a Rasengan. He slashed the clone then leapt as two Minatos passed below him twisting and slamming their Rasengans together. Naruto's clone channeled Chakra to his feet then kicked off of his sword blade, leaping up into the air as the two Rasengans exploded launching his sword up to him. Naruto's clone caught it then looked down as the other four Minatos with Rasengan all leapt at him, Rasengans held out in front. Naruto rolled in mid air, angling his body past them and shot back to the ground, landing in a roll and standing just as three Minatos crashed down around him, their Rasengan going off and destroying Naruto's clone and all three of them, leaving about thirteen clones standing.
"Wow," Minato said voicing his and Kakashi's shock at Naruto's clones's skill. "Who taught you to fight again?"
"Itachi," Naruto stated. "He had me doing something similar to this except his was a genjutsu and when we did actually fight, his clones all had their Sharingan active."
"Explains how he got so good," Kakashi stated. "If he can keep up with Itachi's Sharingan, let's try this."
Kakashi's clones all pulled their forehead protectors up and Kakashi created five more who did the same. Minato made enough clones to match Kakashi's and they all formed two Rasengans each. Naruto created another clone then grinned and made a second. One clone drew his sword and the other formed two of his own Rasengans.
"This isn't going to end with an intact field," Kakashi commented.
"I'll have it repaired," Minato promised. "Now, shall we?"
Kakashi nodded and charged forward and Naruto's two clones did the same. The Naruto with the sword dropped holding his feet up and the other landed on his feet then both pushed off launching the one with the Rasengans into the air. The Kakashis all followed but the Minatos charged the one with the sword. This time, however, The Naruto with the sword evaded all of the Minatos, slashing on then leaping away as his two Rasengans exploded, destroying the other Minatos and making their Rasengans explode too. The Kakashis quickly destroyed the other clones but two of them were destroyed by the Rasengans in the process. The rest landed on the ground, drawing kunai and charged at the last Naruto clone. Naruto began to fight them but there were more of them than Itachi had ever used so after a few minutes, he was destroyed too, having not taken any Kakashis with him.
"Impressive," Minato sighed, about ready to pass out. "Kakashi will teach you to use Wind Style Jutsus."
"Why me?" Kakashi questioned, not having much more chakra than Minato.
"You've got the Sharingan," Minato stated. "And more chakra."
"Barely!" Kakashi complained. "Alright, come on Naruto. I'll teach you a few basic ones."
