Chapter 18:
A/N: happy new year peeps sorry for not updating in a while forgot my account password.
anyways i will be posting another one later since i still need to clean it up for a bit, thanks for reading btw and thanks you to those who returned also dont forget to help my ass with improving to better tell a story. anyways enough of this shit
"WHO SAID YOU COULD REST!!!!" Someone screamed out and a whipping noise could be heard afterward.
"I-is he trying to kill us," Ino asked as she got back to her feet and sluggishly stumbled forward.
"Nah, if he was he would have made us train with Naruto," Shino said in the same monotone, but unlike before, His pristine coat was drenched and caked in dirt.
And so everyone just nodded, Sakura, Ino, Shino, and Shikamaru, were on running duty, But it wasn't that simple since they were carrying 80 to 95 kilograms of the average weight of an adult on each limb while doubling their vest.
As they continue to kill themselves on the run, I who is wearing a full military suit looking at everybody doing their training.
"Concentrate harder Naruto!!!" I yelled at him as he was doing a striking pose trying to focus a chakra burst out of his knuckle.
"Good, good," I said as I walked around.
"Kiba, get your ass up, Break time is over," I said
"B-" *inhale* but," he tiredly asked.
"It's been twenty seconds so get your ass on gear or I add a punishment," I said with an evil smile as I looked down at him, He got the point as he tiredly got up and walked towards a circle, I just smiled and created a clone.
…
"Hinata," I paused as she stood straight in front of me, I just stood there and After a few seconds of silence, "Good work, next increase the speed of creation, And to add a cherry on top," I paused then created a clone, "He will attack you randomly, try not to kill him as he will be there to make sure you don't focus too much on the target," I said.
"I will," she said with a bow and I just smiled and walked along.
"Sasuke, at this rate you'll break your fingers," I said to a Sasuke who was trying to concentrate chakra on his reddening hand.
"Then what should I do?" he asked.
"Look at my hand with those eyes of yours," I said as raised my hand to chest level.
"You know this won't do much right?" He said since he still hasn't gotten used to the copy capability of his ocular jutsu to mimic jutsu, fighting styles, and chakra.
"Yeah since your eyes are jacked up with one being a single tomoe and the other being a fully developed one, but let's not talk about that, I just want you to see the flow of chakra that's all," I suggested to which he agreed.
First I spread my hand out, "You see, the key to this technique is not power," I said as the chakra enveloped my palm gently almost like how one would hold a baby, gentle and soft.
"You were trying too hard to push it up your fingers, but if you do that you just end up missing the point," as I pulled my fingers together, and along with it so did the chakra. As my hand formed into a classic knife hand, the chakra that once surrounded it almost looked like it disappeared but looking closer he just compressed the chakra so much that it was as thin as paper.
"You see, if you force it, it would be like a hammer, but if you control it something different happens," I said as in an instant chakra expanded from the tips of his fingers, it wasn't like the chakra scalpel which creates blades by connecting the chakra points from the tips of the pointer and ring finger, but what Nashi had done was different. Instead of connecting two chakra points to create a blade, it was like a chakra claw from one chakra point.
"Now, try again," I said with a smile as I canceled it and left.
"Oh no you don't," I said as I threw a rock at another rock. But unexpectedly it made a noise.
"AHHHH!!!" A loud scream could be heard and a puff of smoke followed.
"Naruto!!" I yelled out.
"Ughhh, FUCK!!!" He yelled out as he formed another clone and he rubbed the back of his head. The clone went away and Naruto returned to concentrating.
And as I walked around looking at the variety of clones practicing chakra control, I looked at Naruto as he tried to make swirls while not getting dragged into the vortex and drown, Walking past Naruto I watched as Sasuke balanced his chakra with the leaf sticking technique but from a range, it wasn't far just 2 inches away from his skin, not far but very difficult when he has to do it with a dozen or two all over his body, while another me watched him like a hawk holding a slim stick reinforced with chakra.
"Clones are best am I right," I said with a smile and I just heard sighs of exhaustion from everyone.
Over Sasuke, I had Ino, Sakura, Kiba, and Shikamaru's clones having a leaf on each shoulder, while being in a pond of water being jumbled around by my clones, and every time they fall in the water I make them switch places with the original while adding another kg of weight because clone or not i'm pretty sure all of them would rather be sitting and not sweating, hehehe, make them hate themselves giving each one incentive, a positive to this is I figured out that everyone's clone can last for 10 minutes while being active before it dies, of course, someone like Sakura's has lesser time than most of the shinobi clan members but its still pretty good since unlike everyone's clone she's last about 5 minutes more when doing nothing.
But passed that we have the two Choji's who I might add had a way better time learning the shadow clone, i'm guessing it's due to the fact of his clan's special way of gaining yang chakra since they turn their fat or should I say calories into chakra. Choji's training regiment is basically pushing a bolder around, and with every foot, he pushes it he gets to eat a small chip bag, 5 feet a big bag of chips, and when he pushes it 10 feet away in one sitting he gets the special chip that was made in tea country where my clones had stopped to gather information before reaching hidden mist, information isn't that expensive since they were still on the stage of being in the bloody mist, I was pretty sure itachi had already cooked Yagura at this point and mei should be on the podium now.
But that aside i'm not complaining, I mean seriously it made my clone's job easier since my clones just went in the black market in disguise and bought some generic water clones and things that interested them, I mean it was literally the village for swordsmen and water, and the black market really showed it, from swords to gauntlets any weapon you can imagine or want can literally be found there.
My clone's adventure aside, Beside the Choji pushing his giant rock, there was another Choji condensing his chakra into his fist. This Choji's aim is to explode a ball of rubber with pure chakra, that's right I stole some of the rasengan's stages for this, and like the push Choji, each ball one small bag of chips, 5 balls one big bag of chips, 10 rubber balls one special chip bag, the fun part about this is that I only have 10 of the special and since bolder Choji cant use chakra he fucking taps out when he pushes it 6 to 7 feet away. Rubber ball Choji kind of falls in the same area, it's a lot harder to explode a thick rubber ball with nothing but shear chakra force, and making a tiny hole like Naruto in cannon doesn't count.
Anyway, enough out of Choji and time to move on. Next was Hinata, Hinata's training is kind of special since unlike everyone she has the best control out of everyone, even me comparing my chakra control towards Hinata, it would be like comparing a calm candle to a campfire, while both can last the whole night one has a chance to start a forest fire and the other one can safely burn through the night, that is if you aren't stupid with the candle.
But enough of my candle experience and on to Hinata's training. Her training isn't anything strange, its more like what she is doing currently but different, each nail she makes and throws is super low cost in chakra… if you know how to do it and not just force your chakra in one spot, so with Hinata's expertise her clone is working on creating as many and as much as she can in one sitting. Currently, she has about 20 floating around her, aside from moving them around her, she is also in the middle of forming another one, also ones she bursts I can just let Hinata rest a bit and pop out another one.
The next one would be Shino, I can't really ask him to make a shadow clone, I was curious when he said that he can't, and when I asked he gave a great point, I didn't even know that it was a thing but due to his clan's symbiosis with the Kikachu beetles they cant mold their chakra or train it, or at least in the normal way people generally do it, the Aburame clan can increase their capability to mold there bugs would be equal to chakra control training, and increasing there colony would be equal to increasing their chakra pool, but they would need to be careful when adding new bugs cause the current colony could easily reject or outright kill the bug, also adding too much could kill the host, so trying to make a clone with there chakra is a million times more dangerous with there bugs just eating away at their chakra, and of course, they have enough for themselves to perform the basic ninja tricks such as illusion clones, water walking, tree walking, body flicker, substitution, and what not, all of those are safe just make sure they aren't to chakra intensive, hens the reason he is running with double weights.
Moving on next is Kiba. Kiba is a bit strange, I can coax with stuff like doing the less exhausting job like Ino, Sakura, or Shikamaru, and I can't encourage him with food either, so I had to be creative.
"Come on boy, what alpha lays on the ground like a sub," I said getting him to growl and push himself up. Using that as the signal I threw a rock at his back leg by bouncing a rock from the branches around us, Kiba saw the rock fly by following it with his eyes, that was a bad move though as him being distracted I threw another rock at him directly, I don't know if it was instinct or hyper awareness but he jumped to the right with all fours. He dodged the one aiming for his back leg, his face, and the other two I previously threw upwards.
"Dodging like a sissy won't do you good mutt,"
"That's it!!!" He yelled as he lunged toward me. Seeing him run towards me I wasn't scared, I simply just kicked dust into his eyes, making him stop in his tracks and instinctually put his hands in his eyes, I didn't give him any breathing room because the moment he put his hands to his eyes I launched a volley of soft punches at him, I made sure the punches weren't strong or too weak but enough to irritate and sting when striking a vital spot, overall modifying the gentle fist was great in this situation, I could possibly stop or even increase his chakra flow with the random strikes I'm adding to him, It even doubles as an incentive to not do this type of thing.
"Too predictable dog," I said.
So overall training Kiba revolves around me punishing his habits in combat while making him feel pain giving him the incentive to dodge them, I don't know if this develops the natural instinct to dodge a blow but if it doesn't i'm pretty sure I could get a second tank if I keep doing this.
But wait theirs more, but before you continue I must warn you, the last one is the most vile, disgusting, and cheesiest mother fuckers around, they would explore, play, and understand mechanics unknown to the normal person, and do you know what these vile creatures are called? Ughhhhh I warn you he is evil personified hidden behind a mask of goodness.
I present to you Nashi Urahara, a gamer.
Well originals training isn't anything special at all, but considering that there are five clones that he is doing in the standard way, Which I may add that we are directly connected to this motherfucker, the advantage to this is that we can strengthen ourselves, perform jutsu without worrying that we pop early, and we share every ounce of sight, thoughts, and feeling with him in this state, so he probably knows what i'm thinking of currently, but five clones doing nothing couldn't drain him to much, but that's where your wrong since were practically waisting chakra by not containing it. You see as a clone we don't have a core that holds it by itself so without us holding it in we practically ooze with chakra around us, it's not too fast and not too slow but enough to waste his chakra. We don't generally ooze this much chakra but with training, we managed to control it Also, a fun fact about this we practically have infinite time if we only stay still since moving uses chakra.
Now originals training is practically chakra absorption training, what he is currently doing is replenishing his chakra with the surrounding chakra by modifying the medical ninjutsu [chakra absorption] that was made in the second and third great ninja war to provide chakra to the exhausted medic ninja's to heal there comrades, They took what they could, dead comrades, dead enemies, living comrades, they even killed others by draining them dry in order to continue the fight, Most famous for these feats are Tsunade Senju, and Togata Kocho who fought in the third great ninja war and together saved hundreds of thousands of ninja lives, Though sadly Togata died from an ambush by the sand, he didn't die alone though as he took out or at least damaged the current jinchuriki of shukaku at that time, sadly he died due to him absorbing the corrosive chakra of the tailed beast.
But enough of its history and more of its current uses cause I don't just suck chakra from the environment cause if I did i'm pretty sure I would have been dead, poisoned, or turned into a stone statue of an animal by now. What he is doing is basically passing the chakra he absorbs through a strainer and purifier, like blood through one's kidney if that's more simple, but overall i'm purifying it. Thanks to Rengoku's training I am managing to purify and keep 60% of the chakra I try to absorb, sad part is that this takes too much focus so if I try to move while absorbing chakra it won't work, like Naruto when he goes sage mode.
Speaking of sage mode. Can hiruzen go sage mode? And if so what would it be? What would his advantages be? Aside from the generic more chakra and stronger punching power of course. Extra flexibility? Ability to stretch his limbs? Turn as hard as his adamantine staff? If so I bet his wife was glad she married Hiruzen, I mean magically lengthening and increasing in size limb oh boy think of the possibilities.
Well enough of Hiruzen's possible sex life, and let us explain how the fuck I can share senses with my clones. Originally the A-rank jutsu connected the clone to the original basically the clone sapped chakra from the original, which means were connected by the way, With that connection I can expand it in order to make it a two way stream, though i'm generally getting the short end of the stick since doing so takes focus Sooo aside from taking slight information or sending them direct orders I basically can't get anything, also this kind of makes me think of the paths of pain and how they share senses, but that's kind of a meh since as Naruto displayed they cant sense chakra cause simple tricks such as fighting in the dark or coming from the sky works on them.
Also, I find it curious cause I can't do this with the others, I mean I can do it with my clones but I can't do this to Gray or Stein I should say since they actually had the same thoughts, red is Rengoku, brown is Ryu, and blue is Hans Christian Anderson or Hans for short, Anyways I can pull the share senses with them, my theory was the time of separation, blue and red said its possibly the fact that we aren't connected like the new ones, since they basically don't have the same chakra I have running through them due to the continues amount of time they replenish themselves with the ambient chakra, brown and gray think it's due to the unfiltered chakra.
We debunked those easily since if all of them were correct then I wouldn't be able to get memories from their clones, while yes the memories and experience are slightly shattered I just got used to it, it kind of became something like a mini game where I complete the puzzle but in my head.
As all the children trained unknown to them there were some spectators.
"He sure is working them," a man said followed by a blow of smoke.
"It's a surprise since he factored in all their positions," a feminine voice sounded out this time.
"He is definitely working them more than I do," now a calmer male's voice sounded out.
"From you, I expected that Kakashi," Asuma said.
"Whaaaaat, oh Asuma you know me so well," he said as he flipped his book.
"Hmm, same old Kakashi," Asuma said with a smile as he placed his cigarette between his lips again.
"Enough you two," Kurenai said, "If you two haven't been watching properly what he is doing is only physical training," she said after taking a good look.
"That is true, however, if you watch who he trains you can grasp it," Kakashi said.
"Physical training for those who are in need, technique for those who have potential, and chakra control for those who can't," she said with a sigh.
"I wouldn't say the kid can't control his chakra, since from here I can feel how much chakra he's letting out on that rock," Asuma said as he watched Naruto trying to pinpoint his bursts of chakra.
"She is right on the physical thing though, they are more rudimentary at best, like taking a basic understanding and putting it to practice," Kakashi said.
"Don't forget the lab rat like feel in this training, since he punishes and rewards them, an example is the water group, if they fail they get to do physical exercise, though Kiba got it the worse having that paste rubbed all over his body," Asuma said as even from where they are they could see clone Kiba's skin in certain spots being as red as tomatoes.
"It's a barbaric way of training, but as trained killers, we don't have room to talk," Kakashi said and both Asuma and Kurenai just stayed silent knowing Kakashi's history.
After a few seconds of silence, "Speaking of the way he trains them, how did he get the knowledge to acquire the shadow clones?" Kurenai asked.
"I believe he received it from Naruto," Kakashi said.
"The dead last?" Asuma said amused. "Come on now Kakashi don't joke around with us,"
"Yeah, how could someone like him get that?" Kurenai added.
"I'm not even surprised at how you treat him at this point," Kakashi said with a smile hidden behind his mask.
"Wait what?" Asuma asked.
"Yeah, what do you mean by that?" Kurenai said.
"You see my time with my kids taught me a lot, especially with their ring leader," he said and everyone looked at the meditating Nashi, "He embodies the word shinobi well, A cold trickster that's willing to use every trick in his arsenal, today's shinobi are more like warriors armed for combat and blind to the shadow, hell the kid even got me to actually sharpen myself," Kakashi said with a smile and both just looked at him since they could do nothing as his words actually made sense. The current generations of shinobi have become a former of what it was, I mean you can't blame them since for years now their opponents were other shinobi, and opponents that are well trained in their own tactics power, and brute force was the only path they had.
"The kid's wearing a million masks, when he talks to people he switches it, he stands tall to those who oppose him, he acts meek to those who see him from afar, he shows kindness to those he holds close, and he shows a calculative view when I first saw him, it was like a jeweler or a predator watching a prey, every second he watches, dissect, and analyze, it was as if I was naked to him, every motion I pull was seen, that's not even all, despite the current situation we have eyes on our current position," he said which shocked both of them, which began a frantic inspection around there position.
As they searched his words were proven correct as despite them being about a few hundred feet away from the training ground, they knew they were practically out in the open being on top of a tall building with their binoculars, but with their ninja training they were practically not there, but unknown to them they were being watched as they now could feel the eyes on them, and they began to sweat as they can't pinpoint where the eyes are.
"I see your point," Asuma asked.
"This just shows that this kid could become the most dangerous monster born from Konoha," Kurenai said.
"I wouldn't say that, since he's training the monsters, plus I would say he is more like a viper, or a crocodile, a hunter who sits and waits, show him any weakness he will latch on it and rip you apart, or watch you slowly die to his poison," Kakashi said.
.
.
.
"Hmmm, all of them seem to have noticed us," Rengoku said as he was on top of a roof with his own binoculars. "I wonder how the others are doing," he then rummaged into a bag and started eating chips. "Ohh she looked where I am," he said in amusement as she then looked around.
…
"I dislike this job he gave us," Hans said as he somewhere transformed into a chipmunk while chakra formed around his eyes to increase his visual distance.
…
'Hmmm, I wonder how long I can do this? Kakashi probably knows where I am, should I do some killing intent? Let's see how long I can fuck with them," Stein thought as he was transformed into a clip hanger on a hanging rack.
…
'This is surprisingly enjoyable,' Brown thought to himself as below where they stood brown was there watching them as he transported boxes and crates into a carriage.
…
…
…
"I must thank you, my good man, a blade as beautiful as this should have an equally beautiful name," a boy said as he had a blade in his hands, inspecting it and enjoying the craftsmanship of it.
"Hmm, flattery won't getcha far brat," an old man said.
"I do not flatter you, this is the first proper blade I had in a while," he said as he began to dance with the blade.
"That's quite the underestimation since the blade you brought withcha was heavily damaged, I'm surprised ya aren't dead yet with a blade this broken," the old man said as on the side a blade was dismantled, stripped, and only showed its blade and tang on full display as it was used to cover the new blade. "But ya sure ya don't want a tsuba on that?" The old man asked as from the start the blade never had a tsuba, and since a tsuba is made to protect the wielder's hand from others that might take advantage of that.
"I'm well aware of that problem, but that is not needed," he said, 'I hate that Kojiro didn't have a tsuba, I mean I could just add it but I don't want to, cause I must emulate his coolness… ohh who am I kidding, i'm going to be a fake of a phantom,' I thought to myself.
"Aight ya brat, now go do the mission," he said waving me off.
"I thank you for your service," I said as I placed my sword on my back. "I shall do the job I was asked for, 3 weeks was it?" I asked.
"Yes, three weeks, dam adventurers will arrive about that time," he said.
"Then I shall watch from up high," I said as I left the smith.
After a few minutes later. "Brats keep getting younger and younger," the old man said to himself.
…
…
…
Drip.
Plop.
"Well shit," a crass voice sounded out. "Haaaa, I hate this," the voice sounded out as he tried to get a hold of his melting body. "I hate being a prototype," he said.
We are greeted by the hound of konoha, a few years back he had gained a name for himself, at first he just did odd jobs here and there, it began with hunting small creatures, stuff like rabbits and boars, along with the occasional chakra beast, they're generally not that dangerous since Konoha itself is a hotspot for ninja's, so the overall danger of those aren't much, but if they came from the forest of death, then that's when we call the shinobi, but unlucky for me I was there that day.
"Shiiiiiiiit," a blue haired boy sounded out, "look who learned to cook fish baby," he said as he began roasting the fish he got from the river. "You know, its kind of weird, do I need to eat? I'm technically just a blood clone, but I get hungry," he thought out as he nodded to himself.
"Yeah, well who cares, time to eat," he said while clapping his hands.
But before he could begin to chow down a large shadow covered him, "Hmm? Did it become night early?" He asked as then he heard some dripping noise.
He then stiffened up and began to creakily look behind him, and once he looked back he was greeted with a pair of legs, looking up he saw a giant monster, it was drooling, and it was big, like really big, it looked like the size of a house.
Before I could talk, it opened its mouth and lunged down, I dodged and as you can guess I fought it, it took me a few hours to kill it, also with that and my weird condition I was covered in blood and the body suit I bought was torn up, and so when I meet up the shinobi they were undoubtedly shocked at the blood covered 12 year old boy after that rumors began to spread, and now i'm basically a mercenary, it sounds cool but sucks especially in a shinobi village, cause I get hunted down sometimes, so I am now a master of disguise, and espionage, to be precise I can transform the blood on me, change its length, change its color, grow extra appendage, and hide my chakra, all that good shit so basically agent 47.
But now I'm nursing myself, a few days ago I had just expended a lot of my chakra in a beast extermination, so i'm currently trying to absorb some to keep my shape, man I hate being a prototype.
…
…
…
"That's enough for today, you guys can go now," I said to everyone because I just noticed the setting sun.
And as soon as said those words collapsed, some ran to the water to wash off the chilies, and most exploded in smoke, especially my clones.
"You, you are a sadist," someone on the floor sounded out.
"Hahaha, I won't deny that hahahaha, well its time for me-," I said as when I tried to stand up I landed face first on the floor, since what do you expect to happen when you're ass been in one position for several hours now.
"Ha! Serves you right," a tired voice sounded out.
"Maybe, maybe," I said while nodding and allowing blood to flow back to my feet.
After a few minutes of bantering, I managed to stand back up again, to which I promptly left them cause I had better things to do, and one of those better things are.
"So… any info on the chunin exams?" I asked since I didn't see anyone new to the village.
"You see, we found out that the ones hosting it this year were supposed to be waterfall country," Hans said as he had a clipboard on hand.
"So, when Is the next one?" Rengoku asked.
"From what I see, about a month or two from now," Hans said as he flipped a page from his clipboard.
"So, before we get to speculating again, what country is it this time," Stein asked.
"Well, i'm honored to say its Konoha," he said with a bow.
"So cannon starts now?" Ryu asked.
"Most likely, but why didn't we get this info as an anime watcher?" I asked.
"I don't know, we get a lot of inconsistency from what he watched and what we are learning, examples are that we get a lot more names in the war, also way more previous Jinchuriki, like tons of generations of Jinchuriki's," Rengoku said.
"Well at least we know were back to canon, now what should we be training for next?" Ryu asked.
"Well, we still have our accident divergent fist to do, I mean its practically a different move from what we remember," Hans said.
"Wait, you remember what its supposed to be?" I asked cause I genuinely didn't remember what its original form is.
"Yeah, don't you?" Stein chimed in.
"Bruh, your me, you should already know," I said while I stared at him.
"Enough of that original," Hans said as he pushed my face to the side. "Now we explain, our knowledge of the divergent fist, is the fact that it impacts a second time right after the first one, which led you to think land mines you leave behind to be what it was," Hans said.
"Yeah," I said while nodding.
"Well too bad, while your new technique is impressive, its overall usability is way larger than that, because for you see what the original does isn't leave behind small clusters of curse energy, but what the original move does is move the curse energy so fast around your arm that it creates a second impact," Hans said.
"So, you saying that I did it wrong?" I said confused.
"Precisely, while in the show its unclear, but from this info were pretty sure Gojo is taking advantage of Yuji's weirdly high physical capacity to achieve this, cause who the fuck can survive prolonged use of that fucking ability, First of all, Yuji's body clearly shows superhuman durability. Secondly, with his current emotions his cursed energy should be weak, so using this which is not wasteful of curse energy and is purely physical could work for the boy. Thirdly as his curse energy rises along with his proficiency with it, it could double as a way to strengthen his body due to the constant stress he puts his body through, cause something going that fast through your body would require a lot of durability, plus his constant fights and the amount of fist thrown every chapter i'm quite surprised he hasn't complained about it," Hans said as he continued to rant.
Psst. "You think this is going to end soon?" Rengoku whispered to me.
"Don't know, but its probably better to not disrupt him," I whispered back.
"How can we get out of this situation?" Rengoku whispered, "Plus didn't the show say that the reason for Yuji's second impact is because his curse energy can't keep up with him?"
"I don't know, i'm pretty sure Stein doesn't mind his rant, but its probably best to do like Ryu and sleep," I said as beside me Ryu began to sleep.
And so the boys didn't get to sleep as they got an earful of Hanses, Hans's? I don't care, they just got a lecture from Hans Christian Anderson at the end.
Chapter end.
And that's a wrap bois, and galls, and everything in between, thanks for reading, your time, and have a great day.
Also before you leave question of the day: what do you think is the most hype transformation? Aside from Luffy Gear Five currently, cause for me its bleach, I know its minimal in transformation but you cant deny how cool it looked when he dragged his hand across his face to form that mask, and his vasto transformation.
Anyway thanks for reading, have a good day, night, evening, or whatever time it is.
Fish out-
