NARUTO: The Galactic Empire

(Timeskip : 3 years)

A lone figure could be seen walking through the streets of Konoha. This person was 4 ft 9 inches tall. He was wearing a black t-shirt and blue pants. His hands were covered by his fingerless metallic gloves. He wore black sandals. His face was covered by a black facemask, he had a well toned body and his blond hair were wildly swinging in the air with two bangs falling over his covered face.

Many civilians did not recognize this person and were just busy doing their work, while some shinobi recognized this person but ignored him.

This person was none other than Naruto Hatake.

It had been three years since Naruto had awakened his sharingan and had started training to become a shinobi. He had joined the ninja academy with his friends two years back.

His training had been going very well. He had found out that he was a ninjutsu specialist and was quite proficient with it. Kakashi had taught him a few jutsu's and was constantly training him whenever he was free from his missions. His most notable achievement in ninjutsu was his mastery over water jutsu, he could learn and perform suiton (water) based ninjutsu very quickly. He also learnt some jutsu of his other affinities but was unable to learn any earth based ninjutsu.

His sharingan had fully matured and now had three tomoes in it. It was during a sparring session with Kakashi that he was able to awaken the final stage of his sharingan consisting of three tomoes in each eye. Kakashi had congratulated him on achieving the final stage of his sharingan.

His Taijutsu had improved too, Kakashi had made him use weights in his training, they were not too much but still he kept on increasing them as time passed. He also taught him some moves of the Uchiha's Intercepting fist which focused mainly on speed and the movement of the opponents. Needless to say this style suited naruto much better with his sharingan.

Genjutsu was quite a difficult subject for him. Due to his vast chakra reserves he had trouble controlling his chakra. Genjutsu required precise chakra control, though naruto's chakra control had improved greatly but it was still not good enough for him to learn any Genjutsu but he was able to easily dispel genjutsu due to his sharingan which could see through illusions.

Naruto's sharingan was a little different than the oridnary sharingan. Naruto's sharingan could cast very effective genjutsu, his illusions were so real that only skilled shinobi or Genjutsu specialist could break through them. This ability made up for his lack of skill in learning any other genjutsu apart from his sharingan illusions.

Kakashi had trained him in hypnotizing his opponents using his sharingan and had even complemented him that he had the skill to surpass Itachi and Shishui Uchiha in the future with his sharingan based illusions.

He was happy with his life, however he had met another person who cared for him despite being him being a jinchuriki.

Thinking of her brought a smile on naruto's face.

(Flashback :One Year ago)

Kakashi and Naruto were continuing their regular training in the forest of death as usual. Naruto's skills had improved greatly due to his training. His strength, speed and ability to analyze his opponent and come up with counter attacks were greatly increasing.

"Alright ni-san, what are you going to teach me today?" asked Naruto excitedly

"Today i'm going to teach you a variation of the Shadow Clone Technique." said Kakashi.

"Variation?" asked a confused naruto

"Yes, it is called "Raiton Kage Bunshin (Lightning Release: Shadow Clone). It is a type of shadow clone and can also perform techniques like any other shadow clone but it is made up of lightning. Let me show you what you can do, first make two shadow clones and send them right towards me." instructed Kakashi

Naruto formed two clones and sent them charging towards Kakashi. Kakashi immediately formed a clone which rushed towards naruto's clones.

The first naruto clone aimed a punch at Kakashi's clone chest but he easily dogded it and tried to give a kick but was blocked by the second clone who was holding his legs, the first clone then immediately jumped in the air aiming to give a roundhouse kick to the kakashi clone and finish him off.

But before the kick could connect the Kakashi clone smirked and before naruto's clones could even realize what was happening they were electrocuted as the Kakashi clone burst into lightning dispelling itself with naruto's clones.

Naruto winced as he got the memories of his destroyed clones while Kakashi chuckled.

"Damn ni-san, that was painful" muttered Naruto

"Now you see what it does, This technique allows the user to make a shadow clone infused with lightning. Because it is a shadow clone, it is able to perform techniques and interact with the environment due to it having physical substance; and also evenly distributes the user's chakra to each clone. If the clone is injured, it will revert to its natural lightning-state, at the same time electrocuting whatever it is touching." explained Kakashi briefly.
