The final piece of my Clone puzzle was not found in Naruto but through Urasue from Inuysasha... I feel dull and awesome.

I still love Koji Kashin as a concept.

Same with Superboy from Young Justice.

Kagami could remember his very first days of life. He woke up on a table, stunned and confused. "Where am I?" He asked, his mind muddled with pain and fuzzy memories. All seemed distant, foggy. He felt... well, weak and strong at once, like an struggling ember waiting and wanting to rage.

There was a man laughing to his left. "Amazing, you look just like your Template... that idiot, Naruto, may have been a fool but his power was incredible. You will be just as amazing and bring Lord Orochimaru back to me! To fund my quests for power and purpose...and to show him what I can really do... yes... your name is Kagami, fitting as you are but a mirror of that boy."

Kagami sat back, his mind flooding with fuzzy memories. "Why...I... Naruto. I was Naruto, I remember being him, but it's distant and off. Like It really is not mine."

The man nodded. "Clones share physical memories, that is why they are forbidden. You lack spiritual connection. so your memories are not complete. Saves the time needed to teach you to how to read, walk and talk. Now rise, dear boy, and come start your training!"

His life turned into pure hell from that point on. He spent four hours each morning exercising his body, sparring with Amachi ( the man who made him) and learning what the man called medical taijutsu. "The boy, your original self, has no real taijutsu skills I noticed. He was all power, no refinement... you will be the best of both worlds!" Amachi would tell him as he trained. Over the course of three months, with constant exercise, a powerful diet and training he started to look like Rock Lee from his memories, lean and muscular and strong. He wore weights, something he actually came up with, after explaining about Lee, and that helped him a lot.

He would learn chakra control for three hours a day, to bolster his control and powers which worked as by three months he had thrice Amachi's chakra levels. About Elite Jonin level, according to the man. He also taught him water control, to pull water from pools of water or leaves, and to cast a few water jutsu. He also taught him medical jutsu, the basics only. It took a few weeks, but he soon had a firm grip on the Mystic Palm, which he used on Fish and himself when he was beaten by Amachi.

Finally, was his reading and lessons. He was constantly being instructed, on history, math, science and more. He learned more in three months than Naruto had in his life. Soon he felt like a scholar, he actually started to look forward to those lessons, feeling his mind expand and so on was amazing. Amachi was a bastard but he was a brilliant mentor.

However, after three months, it was time...

"Today we go to see Lord Orochimaru! Come boy!"

Kagami panicked, memories of the evils of Orochimaru and all he had done to Sasuke and others kicked in, and for the first time in either life... that panic turned violent. Grabbing a scalpel, he moved fast and slammed it into his creator's temple, killing him instantly. As the man fell, Kagami froze... panicked more.

Then smiled. "I am free... of him and Orochimaru... but what now." Another idea blossomed in his heart. "I want to see the world. Like Naruto before me, I have no idea who I am. I have never had a chance to explore myself, always having been Naruto or training... I guess maybe I could see everything, travel and see the world as it is. Maybe... well, the first place I want to go is Wave. To see Zabuza and Haku's grave,.. yeah, that sounds nice. I have to hide my face, so no one knows I am Naruto, or was... yeah. that's for the best."

He would leave almost immediately, after burning the lab to the ground with Amachi's corpse inside. He would steal a mask from a local man, a simple brown mask with eye holes. No one would notice as he left in the night, rushing into the darkness, freer in a way that even Naruto never was before...

Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was a joy to write.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
