Naruto: Chakra System

Chapter 20: [CHAPTER 20] Fūinjutsu: The Lazy Ninja's Path to Power



"No, Sandaime-sama," Kakashi said. "I want you to live for many many years to come, even survive the future calamities. You are, after all, the pillar of Konoha, you are the Hokage!"

Hiruzen narrowed his eyes at Kakashi. "Are you indirectly saying no to the Hokage's position after me?" he asked.

Kakashi didn't say anything, and Hiruzen sighed and waved his hand to let Kakashi go after giving him the Four-Symbol Seal scroll. Kakashi, after receiving this, went to the ninja archive, where other Fūinjutsu scrolls were present.

Hiruzen then in his office, muttered with a deep sigh, "The people who are fit to be Hokage don't want it, and Danzō who is not fit, is so eager for it, man, looks like position of Hokage is a curse on me."

The ninja archive was where all the scrolls of Jutsu were present that anyone could learn based on their ranks, and Kakashi only needed Fūinjutsu scrolls.

Within a few minutes, he also took a few more scrolls. One was the Gravity Seal, which he thought would be best for him in strength training.

Kakashi didn't want to train in physical training like Guy and Lee, who were literally training maniacs. Kakashi thought that having extra weights on his arms and legs would help in strengthening his body.

Moreover, the Gravity Seal could activate and deactivate with simple chakra concentration, makes it more convenient than actual weights. He even thought that this would be better for his team.

Naruto and Sakura could definitely benefit; after all, Sakura was literally Tsunade 2.0 in the anime, so if she had her base strength high, she might become even stronger than her counterpart. Though Sasuke didn't usually show or wasn't known for his physical strength in the anime, Kakashi felt that he might also improve a lot with gravity seals.

Another one was the Storage Scroll Seal. Although Kakashi knew about it, he had never tried it out, but this Kakashi definitely wanted to learn it.

He might be able to create a small dimension-type storage seal on his wrist or palm like Sasuke had in the anime from Orochimaru, where Sasuke stored his Kusanagi Sword and summoned it whenever he needed. He also took a few other Fūinjutsu scrolls.

He then made a hand sign and created 30 Shadow Clones. He thought that using a few more Shadow Clones than he could easily handle might also help him in mental fortitude.

He had 20 Shadow Clones training in applying Fire Nature Transformation in Rasengan, and the remaining 10 working on Fūinjutsu seals. They would start with the Gravity Seal, which was simpler and easier than the others, then move to the Storage Seal and others, and at last, on the Four-Symbol Seal.

With this order, his Shadow Clones flickered, and he himself went to have ramen for breakfast. He still had time before meeting his team.

At 8 AM, in Training Ground 3, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were present, and Kakashi arrived. After wishing them good morning, Naruto was the first one to ask, "So, what kind of training are we going to do? Is there any cool Jutsu you will teach us?"

His excitement was palpable; he was literally jumping. Sasuke and Sakura were also curious, and Kakashi said, "No, you can't just start with any Jutsu. First, you need to train in Chakra Control exercises. Without good Chakra Control, you will just waste your chakra unnecessarily in battles, so we will start with that area."

Naruto mused and asked, "Chakra Control? Like the Leaf Balancing Exercise that we learned in the ninja academy?"

Kakashi nodded. "Yes, but more difficult. The Leaf Concentration Exercise is most simplier to what you will be training for the next few days."

Sakura asked, "What is it, Kakashi-sensei?"

Kakashi pointed at the trees and said, "You will be starting with trying to climb on a tree with only your feet, no hands, concentrating your chakra on your feet alone."

He then demonstrated it to them, walking on a tree casually and easily. Sasuke scoffed and moved forward while saying, "It's an easy exercise."

He put one foot on the tree, focused his chakra, and then the other, but immediately fell. Naruto laughed at him. "Haha, 'It's an easy exercise'? Haha! Let me show you how it's done."

Kakashi then recalled that Naruto and Sasuke both needed more time than Sakura to learn tree walking in the anime, and he didn't want them to waste more time on this. He then put his hand on Naruto's shoulder, stopping him, and then glanced at Sasuke.

Kakashi said, "You and Sasuke aren't going to start with Tree Walking. You need a smoother surface to train on first."

He then pointed at a wall a little far off and said, "You will start with Wall Walking. Once you master that, then you can come to tree walking."

Sakura confused and asked, "Um, am I not going to train with them?"

Kakashi shook his head. "Not in this," he said. "I have already checked; your chakra control is better than these two. You can directly start with Tree Walking, and even move to the next part before them."

Naruto complained. "No, I can also start with Tree Walking, believe it!"

Kakashi shook his head. "Don't argue. And if you want to speed up the time, then you both can try using Shadow Clones. Both of you know that technique, right?"

Naruto and Sasuke nodded, as Naruto knew Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu and Sasuke had learned Shadow Clone Jutsu, so Kakashi decided to have them use it and finish all the Chakra Control training much earlier. Kakashi then made a Shadow Clone of himself and sent it to take Naruto and Sasuke to the other side, where they would practice Wall Walking.

Kakashi knew if they set their base properly, then they might even master Water Walking in a combined two weeks alone. Naruto and Sasuke made Shadow Clones, while Naruto made many, Sasuke only made one, and started training under Kakashi's Clone.

Sakura, meanwhile, was a little upset that she couldn't train with Sasuke and not even Naruto, but alone. However, she wasn't discouraged, as Kakashi said that she had good Chakra Control than those two, so she felt determined to become strong, due to the fear Kakashi had put in her mind on introduction day, as she didn't want to be a burden and the reason for Sasuke's death; she was determined to become strong.
