Chapter 2: Training:Chakra, Physical, and MENTAL


At Ichiraku Ramens

Naruto was eating or rather inhaling his miso ramen. Iruka was as usual disgusted at Naruto's ramen eating habits even though he has seen it many time. Ayame and Teichu were amused at both Naruto and Iruka's antics. “Naruto, slow down or I'll have to start taking missions again,” Iruka said with a humorous expression. Naruto was oblivious to Iruka since he was eating ramen, or what he would consider the meal of the gods. “Ne, Iruka-sensei, I would really appreciate it if you would help me train to get stronger and smarter,” Naruto said in between slurps. “I don't know Naruto, it could be considered favoritism,” Iruka said. “But, I won't be in your class after uhhhhhh,” Naruto responded looking dumbstruck at the end. “Two weeks, Naruto”, Iruka said with a tone of annoyance. “Yeah, two weeks so it could be considered you helping a friend,” Naruto said regaining his train of thought. “Alright, so how about we start tommorow,” Iruka said with a smile. “Arigatou, Iruka-sensei,” Naruto spoke with a smile. “How about we meet here at two o'clock p,m., Naruto said with a smirk. Hehe, if Iruka-sensei can make it I can practice the ninjutsu I wrote down the whole morning and get some time to rest, Naruto thought. “Two is great for me Naruto”, Iruka said. Iruka set about 2000 yen to pay for Naruto's 4 bowls and his bowl. (a dollar is about 100 yen) “Bye old man Teichu, bye Ayame-neechan,” Naruto yelled before leaving to his apartment.



Naruto's Apartment (7 a.m)

Naruto woke up to the sound of ridiculously loud alarm clock before he threw it at the wall. He showered and brushed his teeth. The blonde haired boy then made a cup of instant ramen for breakfast. In the three minutes he had to wait for the so called “gift from Kami” he picked up his alarm clock, poured a cup of milk, and brought out some chopsticks. After his meal Naruto took out his paper with jutsus on it. He studied the paper to see what he should practice after Bushin Daibakuha. The list said

Futon: Daitoppa(Wind Release Great breakthrough)

Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(SNaruto wantehuriken Shadow Clone Technique)

(A Ranked) The Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu allows the user to create a shadow clone image of a Shuriken to attack a opponent. The user can either throw a single shuriken and use the technique to create multiple shadows clones of it, a single shuriken and hide the other clone under its shadow.

Naruto decided to try the C ranked jutsus and maybe Shuriken Kage Bunshin No Jutsu since he knows Kage Bunshin already. He wrote down the C ranked jutsus and Shuriken Kage Bunshin No Jutsu on a second paper to bring with him in case he lost the other paper.

Soon we find our blonde haired hero in a remote training ground that people don't often visit. Naruto started with the Futon: Daitoppa. Naruto started to channel chakra for Futon: Daitoppa and focus it to cause winds. At first the most he could cause was a breeze. After about half an hour he could now perform the technique as well as any jounin. The wind he caused could blow away a large group of ninja even if they were all Akimichis. Naruto then tried practicing Katon: Goukakyu no jutsu. He could only get a small fire out of his mouth. After about 2 hours Naruto wasn't sure why he couldn't perform the Katon: Goukakyu no Jutsu so well. Why can't I do this jutsu right, Argh!! I should be done with it, I only took half an hour to master Futon: Daitoppa, Naruto thought. I can't give up because that is my nindo, he thought. True, he could get the fireball close to the size of large rock, which would be good enough for most people, much less a genin. Naruto wanted his to be the size of a large boulder. Another hour later he got to his goal of a large boulder. Naruto then decided to go home to rest and clean himself up before he met up with Iruka.

(Outside Ichiraku Ramen)

Iruka was standing outside waiting for his favorite blonde to get here. Naruto ran up to Iruka and said, “Hey Iruka-sensei,” Naruto said in a excited voice. “Yeah, Naruto, why don't we go teach you at the academy classroom,” Iruka asked? “Sure thing sensei”, Naruto stated in a cheery manner.

(Academy classroom)



Iruka and Naruto were sitting down in the first aisle with many books on the desks and chairs. “So Naruto lets start with the basics,” Iruka said. “Chakra is the energy used for jutsus right,” Naruto replied. “Yes, but what else dos it doe,” Iruka asked. “Well, Iruka-sensei its uhhh uhhh,” Naruto said. This is going to be a long lesson, Iruka thought. “Chakra is also the energy that is the mixture of spiritual energy and body energy and the amount of chakra you have is relative to your stamina,” Iruka explained. “Now, Naruto I have figured out your problem with the Bunshin No Jutsu,” Iruka said. “Iruka-sensei what does the bunshin have to do with anything,” Naruto asked? “The bunshin, as you know is an academy standard that requires even under average chakra control,” Iruka explained. “You Naruto have too much chakra were you chakra control is simply horrendous to the point you can't do a bunshin due to either over loading the amount of chakra needed, or not putting enough so the bunshin wouldn't have enough chakra,” Iruka continued. “So you're saying that if I can improve my chakra control I could save chakra for more jutsus and taijutsu, right,” Naruto said. Iruka gaped at Naruto and blinked. Naruto just blinked. Iruka coughed and said, “That is completely correct Naruto.” “When did you get so smart Naruto,” Iruka asked. “What can I say you're a great teacher Iruka-sensei,” Naruto replied. I guess he responds much better to one on one teaching, Iruka thought. So Naruto, I want you to balance a leaf on your forehead with chakra in your free time. Right now I'll show you the tree-climbing exercise,” said Iruka. “Before you ask, you will be walking up the tree by applying an amount of chakra before you start,” Iruka explained. He then used a handseal channeled some chakra to his feet and walked up. Iruka jumped down and threw a kunai next to Naruto's feet and said, “It will be easier to run up the tree and use a kunai to mark your progress.” Naruto did a handseal channeled some chakra to his fee and ran up the tree for 3 feet until he crushed it. He tried again and got up 4 feet before slipping off the tree. Hmm so if I apply too much chakra the tree breaks and if I apply I don't apply enough chakra I'll slip. In theory I should try to find the right amount of chakra by experimenting and once I discover it I should have to be able to repeat the same amount of chakra too get the most benefit. Naruto had a determined look on his face and once again did a handseal to channel chakra to his feet. “Oh, Naruto you need to find some clothes that don't stick out so much for stealth,” Iruka said. Naruto grudgingly agreed to trash his jumpsuits and buy new clothes for the sake of becoming a better ninja. “Naruto, how about we meet at the academy at 12 o'clock in the afternoon for more training. Naruto spent the rest of his day perfect the tree climbing exercise while Iruka simply watch him progress throughout the day. When Naruto finished it was night time and he had to head home for dinner.



8 a.m. Naruto's apartment

Naruto was stumped on how he would get clothes since stores often would kick him out. The store he bought his jumpsuits from was actually only let him buy those orange jumpsuits and for triple price! Wait a minute the tree climbing exercise helped my chakra control so now I should be able to hold henge longer, the whiskered boy thought. You see Naruto didn't get taught much other than the year he had Iruka. The other teachers didn't let him learn the basics, thus why he was so stupid in class. Kami! I learned more yesterday than I did in the last few years! He found a store called the Shinko Izou(True Legacy). Naruto went in and realized he forgot to henge. Surprisingly, a man just smiled and said, “Hello, I just moved here and your my first customer.” Naruto looked around and saw the surroundings. It was true that the place was new, the walls were covered by weapons and there were a bunch of shinobi clothes on racks. Naruto picked out some black Anbu pants and some black and red muscle shirts in various sizes in case he had a growth spurt. He also grapped some new kunai and shuriken for missions since he is now a genin. The blonde also took some fishnet shirts for under shirts. Naruto went up to the man and said, “Excuse me, uhh”, Naruto said. “It's Maito Jin,” Jin said. Jin was about 6fett tall and had black hair in a messy hairstyle. He was wearing black pants and a blue shirt. “I am a salesman that sells and makes shinobi items,” Jin said. “You may have heard of my rather weird cousin Maito Gai, a loud jounin of Konoha,” Jin said. “Well, Jin-san I'm Uzumaki Naruto the future Hokage of Konoha, Naruto said wile smiling widely. Yeah, the other villagers are right. He is a demon. I can tell by the way he smiles and wants a job to protect the village. HEH, Jin thought sarcastically. Naruto seemed tense and his smile faltered a bit when Jin was silent. “Oh, sorry for spacing out Naruto and relax I don't hate you,” Jin said sincerely. Naruto relaxed a little bit after hearing that. Naruto pulled out a paper and showed it to Jin while saying, “Jin-san could you put this symbol on the back of these shirts and I will pay the extra cost for it,” Naruto said. “Sure Naruto-san and I'll make the customization free since your my first customer,” replied Jin. Why don't you come pick it up in two hours,” Jin said. “I would like to pay for it now please,” Naruto asked? “Sure that'll be 10,000 yen please, Jin said. Naruto smiled and handed him a 10,000 yen bill. The other place he bought his jumpsuit at cost him 60,000 yen just 6 of them. Naruto liked Jin since he seemed fair

9 a.m. At a remote training ground

If you looked around you could see countless shuriken, scorched grown, and even some uprooted trees. What caused this was none other than a certain blonde haired boy. Naruto started his training by reviewing jutsus. Naruto was currently working on his Shuriken Kage Bunshin No Jutsu. It was a easy for him to multiply the shurikens because it took only about 40 minutes to master it. Now, he is working on hiding the shurikens in the shadow.
