Students and Orders
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
BAM! BAM! Naruto noticed that someone was banging on his apartment door and opened it to find an ANBU with a bird shaped mask standing outside,
"Uzumaki-san, Hokage-sama requested of your presence." He spoke in a monotone voice.
"Okay, I will come as soon I can." Naruto answered and the ANBU disappeared in a Shunshin. Naruto put away everything, dressed up and left in a Shunshin as well arriving in the Hokage's office. He noticed that the Third was engaged in paperwork and he saw that the pile of Completed Papers was higher than the Not Completed Papers on his desk. "You called, Jiji?"
The Third Hokage sighed as he is going to listen to that and not be able to do anything about it. "Yes Naruto-kun, I have called you here for very important reasons." Naruto found a chair and sat in it and waited for his adoptive grandfather to go on, "First is that you are hereby promoted to Chunin." Naruto was wide eyed; he was expecting the council to never let him become a Chunin despite his performance during the entire Exam. "But the most important thing is that according to the performance results during the Chunin Exams, The Invasion and The Genin Duel with you; we have seen you observation skills and wish that you to point out another Genin that is ready for promotion." Naruto let it sink in and started to think until,
"Okay old man," The Third sighed as he listened, "It was a tough decision but I have the most likely Genin to be promoted as well; Shikamaru Nara." The Third didn't show any surprise that was eating his insides for Naruto to explain which he did, "While he may have the fault of being lazy but the thing was that Shikamaru was no lazier than his father at his age and still became a powerful and cunning Ninja and Jonin Commander before he hit his prime. During the Genin Duel you call it, everyone all either hit the illusion my Jutsu had created or get hit in the back of the neck but Shikamaru saw through it all and managed to seize the real me in his Jutsu even though he lost but it was only because I had to increase my Chakra reserves to escape; he is a cunning opponent with a strong shadow grip." Naruto finished his explanation with a small joke that left the Third shocked at how Naruto sounded like a true Hokage and nodded at the words.
"Thank you Naruto for your time and I will see what the Council will say about this idea for a Promotion." Naruto nodded at his grandfather's words and left the office to see his classmates standing in front of him,
"Guys, this is a very sudden meeting; what is the occasion?" Naruto asked that got a disgruntled face from the people that were fooled by the illusions that Naruto had created; speaking of which, it was what they wanted to talk about.
"We heard that you had just been promoted to Chunin and that you think that the laziest person in the world is to lead us like you do." Sakura said, "And while you are going to walk above us, spill the beans about that Genjutsu that you used to embarrass us!" The Genin all nodded and Naruto rubbed his temples in frustration,
"You just don't let something like this slid won't you..." The Genin shook their heads, "Fine, I will explain it this time but remember this; even if you know how an enemy jutsu works, it doesn't mean that it won't change how it will affect you when he is used again against you. It is up to you to think of a way to counter it even by the smallest amount. Understand?" The Genin nodded eagerly,
"If you studied your history notes on Mizukages, you will remember that the Second Mizukage was known for his Water Style Jutsu and Genjustu. So, I thought that I will make a jutsu that both uses water and make an illusionary effect." Naruto explained which stopped so everyone can take it in, "So I created this Justu that I call the Water Style: Water Angle Mirrors." Everyone was puzzled at the name so they let Naruto continue,
"Normally I need a water source to perform a Water Style Jutsu but after practicing, I can use the moisture in the air as a secondary water source. As for what this Jutsu does, have you ever used mirrors to cast reflections to fool your enemies into believing you are where you are actually in another place?" Naruto asked and let everyone pounder the question and all nodded so Naruto went on, "I use this principle in this Jutsu as I can either cast a reflection to go against a target so he faces it without knowing that I was actually behind him or I can use reflections to bend light to fool my enemies into dodging illusions and into my attack paths." When Naruto finished his explanation, everyone was amazed that illusions can really tip the scales in a battle yet Naruto still went on, "This is my first lesson as an unofficial teacher; even a D-rank jutsu can defeat an S-rank Ninja. It is possible because a ninja's skill is only as good as the user that performs them. Before you call the Water Angle Mirror an A-rank Jutsu, don't; it is only on the level of a C-rank Jutsu." Naruto finally finished as the audience were surprised that the words fit like puzzle pieces.
"But what I saw wasn't a reflection," Hinata shouted without shuttering that really got everyone paying attention, "It was more like a nightmare-like vision!" Everyone then looked to Naruto from a panting Hinata from that huge outburst.
"Yes and I once again apologize for having you see that but it was necessary for you to finally unleash your true talent; talent isn't decided by us, it is created when we are born." Naruto explained, "That nightmare was the result of another jutsu I invented to counteract my inability to cast Genjutsu; I call it Earth Style: Desert Illusions." Everyone kept listening,
"I assume that you heard about mirages?" The Genin nodded, "Normally, I have to set the atmosphere for this to happen but I found out that it is the sand and the sun that causes the air where mirages are formed from what we are thinking of at the same moment, whatever it is something negative about us or we are feeling like having which explains why most who fall victim to mirages often see water pools, forests or food. I learned of this info long ago and thought if I invent this jutsu, I can create the second effect of Genjustu; the visions to break an opponent's concentration and sanity." Everyone became even more excited that their teacher is such a brilliant inventor to deduce that while even Shikamaru was unable to explain it since he too was dumbfounded by the mechanisms behind this jutsu. Then they noticed that Naruto was heading away from them,
"Where are you going, Sensei?" Sakura closed her mouth as soon that name left her mouth and got looks from the Genin and a smirk from Naruto who made a full 180 degrees to face his new students.
"I am glad that are my student, you figured out this trial." Naruto said much to the confusion so he went on, "I leaving you was to see if you will still follow me on the ninja road that I walk on as my students. You have the smarts alright but you will have to improve so you can figure it out in your own mind because if you speak of your sub-mind, it will be too slow and any enemies in the area when have the chance to kill you. Where I was going was that the Third Hokage had ordered me to find a new Hokage."
"WHAT!?" The Genin all couldn't believe their ears; their new sensei managed to save the Third, and yes they heard about this after the invasion, but why should a new Hokage be needed.
"But didn't you save the Hokage, Sensei." Sakura seemed to one that are asking the questions and addressing the teacher in a proper manner. Naruto nodded slowly and sighed,
"I did but the old man said himself that after so many years, his age is finally catching up and he was so prepared to die that fight with the Snake Sage; he admits that if he was engaged in one more fight, he die of a heart attack instead of a kunai." Naruto explained that got his students sad but understanding, "So the old man has decided to retire so he can still overlook the village in maybe his last decade or two; he said that he will document any jutsu I invent and also be around for advice if the current Hokage is troubled about an affair, personal or political." This pecked up the Genin's spirits but they are saddened that they will be without a leader. So, Naruto took out a couple of scrolls, one under each arm while ushering his students to come with him.
They stopped at a training field where Naruto set the scrolls down and activated them; in the first had a stack of books ranging from Ninjutsu and Taijutsu and the second one had a box of either paper or weights. This pecked the Genins curiosity,
"I wish that I can be around to start training you for now on but the council said that a new Hokage is due in two weeks which means that I only have a week max to do it." Naruto explained when,
"I thought that you will be the next Hokage, Naruto." Hinata spoke up and noticed that Naruto had a sad look on his face despite having that complaint,
"Thanks Hinata-chan but that is the second time that I heard such a statement today; it was used to shove the council into a corner because they felt like it is wrong and immoral for someone like me to be teaching the clan heirs and future ninjas. So, they agreed to have someone who can fill me in on the experience and then I am allowed to become Hokage." Everyone agreed with nodding, "But enough of that, they said that I can have this whole day to get you started on more training and something for you to do while I am on my mission." Naruto said as he went to one of the boxes and brought out ten sheets of paper, giving one to each of the ninjas, with Lee as the exemption, which they were confused about.
"Sensei, what is this paper and how is it going to help us?" Sakura asked with all of Naruto's students' thoughts in one question. The teacher in question smiled,
"These are Chakra paper, clearly you were never introduced to this by your instructors; they are made from a special tree and used to determine our Chakra type." Everyone nodded as they were listening, "It is done by how the paper reacts to your chakra that you channel through it; it catches fire and burns from fire type, it soaks and damps from water type, it winkers and curl into a ball from lightning type, it slices into two with a clean cut from wind type, and it crumbles into dust from earth type. Understand?" Everyone nodded, "The books I have are all on jutsu in each of the five types for you to work on while I am on my mission; Hinata-chan, why not you go first since we know what is coming?" Naruto asked and Hinata nodded as she began to introduce her chakra by the smallest amount to the paper and it becomes wet and soggy to the touch for everyone to see.
Naruto then ushered that the rest do the same; Kiba had fire, Tenten had wind, Sakura had earth, Sasuke had fire, Shino had lightning, Neji had wind, Choji had earth, Ino had water, and Shikamaru had wind. "Now we got your nature types down, two things to think about..." Everyone went in to listen, "First is that this is to find out which element type you will be best in but it isn't the only elemental type you can do your entire life; you may have developed a second element type later on if you keep studying this area of Ninjutsu. Second, understand that ninjas, official or missing, mostly have element types identical to the country they originated from but the rest have migrated from one country to another so you can find a mix of types within countries; like me, a wind type is the rarest to find in Fire Country." The Genin nodded and went to find books on their element type when, "Remember Lee, you have to read these books too." The Genin in question nodded nervously and found a book on basic Ninjutsu including the elemental types. "And the last thing to discuss is in the other box next to the one with the Chakra Paper..." Naruto point to and since Sakura was the closest one thought it was swell idea to pick up the box itself but failed miserably which made the Genin wonder what is inside the box when Naruto sighed and went to it, "Who told you to try and lift the box when it was full of weights, Sakura-chan?"
"Weights?" The Genin were wondering why Naruto had brought weights along yet when Sakura got a closer look, the weights looked like paper tags with similar marking that were on the storage scrolls.
"Yes weights, they are to help you on your Taijutsu training..." The Genin were wondering how weights were going to be of any help when Naruto took a handful of them and latched to their wrists and ankles in a flash that they only felt the additional weight almost crushing them. They began to feel like Lee when he first started his Taijutsu training,
"Why are we trying to be extreme like Lee when it comes to weights Sensei?" Sakura asked.
"Because these are weights that can be readjusted whenever you out grow the current weight. Don't worry, you won't have to take a shower with them on but if you try to take them off for any other reason, they automatically double and stay on." Naruto warned them and they nodded as they waited for their next lesson but the last thing they heard clearly was Naruto cracking his knuckles with a menacing smirk on his face. 'This isn't going to be easy...' that thought was the last they were allowed to think that day.
