Chapter 4: Body Flicker Technique
Step Two- Tree Climbing Exercise
-Put your Chakra into your feet and your legs and start walking in the tree vertically. Keep the Chakra flow stable so that you won't fall. This requires practice and dedication.
Step Three- Water Walking Exercise
-Just like in Step Two but here, you need to constantly change the Chakra Flow from high to low depending on the density and movement of water. This can also be achieved through a lot of practice and dedication.
Cautious- Chakra is made out of Physical and Spiritual Energy so Chakra Control requires a lot of calm and meditative state.]
After reading the entire scroll, Naruto was stunned for a moment. Except for the Leaf Concentration Exercise, he was taught none of them.
Normally, that would be fair since teachers didn't teach anything else to others as well.
The only problem was his Chakra Reserve. Since his Chakra Reserve was massive, it would be almost impossible to finish the first exercise.
So, he had no choice but to start from the second.
But before he decided to do that, he once again opened his status panel and checked and clicked on his Jutsu.
[Jutsu- Multi-Shadow Clone Technique
Description- This technique requires a massive amount of Chakra as it divides Chakra in half to create a shadow clone. Because the clones are made out of Chakra, they can barely take one hit from the enemy before turning to smoke.
Clones can also send information after dispelling hence they are used mostly for training anything not related to Taijutsu or information gathering.
Mastery- Starter
Advantages- Practice Shortcut for those with Massive Chakra Reserve, Information Gathering
Disadvantages- Dispelled after a single hit, can cause severe Chakra Exhaustion or even death, consumes a massive amount of Chakra
Note- If a lot of clones are dispelled at once, it can cause information overload which could lead to mild cases such as migraine or severe cases of mind damage.]
[Jutsu- Body Flicker Technique
Description- This technique allows one to move at an extraordinary speed between points A and B. Only those with extreme mastery can change their destination on the fly.
Those with small reserves can only move several meters while those with massive reserves can even cross miles. Thus, it is one of the most versatile Jutsu.
Mastery- Starter
Advantages- Fast Movement Speed
Disadvantage- None
Note- This technique can be used with the smoke leaf or any elements.]
'Wait, wait, wait, did it just say Practice Shortcut?'
Naruto's eyes widened for a moment. He couldn't believe he would be able to get such a huge information from the NSS.
He was just curious how his Jutsu would be portrayed by the NSS since every section had a different way of showing its description, merits, and demerits.
He immediately created nearly a hundred shadow clones. Even with his Gamer Mind, he couldn't hold back his excitement.
Though he was able to remember the information of this Jutsu. So, he started to calm down while trying to climb the tree with his Chakra.
Naturally, this step was quite hard for someone like him.
His Chakra Reserves were massive and he had almost no Chakra Control before this. So, it was a slow start.
Even after four hours of constant practice, his main body wasn't able to climb more than a few steps with his Chakra.
Though he felt quite tired, he quickly dispelled one-fourth of the Shadow Clones.
Because there were nearly twenty-five shadow clones that were dispelled at once, he received a massive amount of information.
"Argh!"
He screamed and clutched his head while falling to the ground.
The severe headache lasted five minutes before he finally managed to calm his breath.
He was gasping and covered in sweat. He had already taken off his jacket and was only wearing a black vest.
After ten more minutes of rest, he started Tree Climbing once again. Surprisingly, his body had adjusted to the memories of those clones.
So, for ten steps, it was easy. As he began to go up, he felt slight pain in his legs and his concentration started to break.
After a few more steps, he finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, he managed to land on his foot and suffered no serious injuries.
After what seemed like an eternity, he finally dispelled the last group of shadow clones and received another massive piece of information.
This time though, he was able to stay conscious and the headache was only mild. After a few more minutes of rest, he walked back to the tree and started climbing with his Chakra.
At first, it looked like he was going smooth but he felt quite a shock in his legs when he reached near the top.
Despite his enthusiasm, he managed to remain calm and return to the ground.
Suddenly, a new panel appeared in front of him.
[You have learned a new skill 'Tree Climbing']
[Skill- Tree Climbing
Description- For a Ninja, using a Chakra to climb on a vertical surface is necessary thus many elite ninjas must master Tree Climbing. It requires one to climb a tree with Chakra and feet.
Mastery- 50%
Advantage- Improved Chakra Control
Disadvantage- None
Note- To improve Mastery, one can use weights or different vertical surfaces.]
Naruto smiled and clenched his fist with excitement. Although it was just 50% Mastery, without his Shadow Clones, he wouldn't be able to achieve all of this.
He looked toward the sunset and realized that it was already getting dark.
So, he gave out one last smile and closed his eyes. In his mind, he began to visualize his front door. The clearer his visualization got, the more Chakra he pumped into his legs.
With his proper Chakra Control, he knew just how much Chakra he required to travel such a distance.
So, he made a 'Tiger' Seal and his body flickered like a blur.
The next moment, he was already in front of his door. He stumbled a few times but he managed to control himself and didn't strike the door.
He entered the room and soon walked up to his kitchen. He wanted to eat something good for tonight but realized there was nothing much to eat except Ramen.
He loved Ramen. One part of his was telling him to just eat Ramen.
But another, more logical part of him was telling him to eat something more healthy, something filled with nutrition and value.
He took a deep breath and decided to follow the logical part.
Although he knew this was all due to the Gamer Mind, he had encountered several instances in just a single day where it had proven to be more useful than his entire knowledge.
Even if he wasn't smart, his logical mind would allow him to properly assess the situation and make a correct move.
He made a new shadow clone and let it transform into another person. He knew that if he used his own face, he wouldn't get food from those vendors.
So, the best idea would be to use his Transformation Technique. Since he had already perfected it, he knew nobody would be able to figure it out.
After twenty minutes, his shadow clone returned with a lot of food. He wasn't sure if he could cook some big meals.
But, he knew how to cook some small meals like meat and rice. He also made some Miso Soup. His milk had already expired so he bought another packet of milk.
After his dinner, he went to bed and stared at the ceiling.
Today was the best day of his life.
He didn't know why and how that happened but the moment this NSS arrived, his life changed.
He could feel his strength growing. He could feel his mind becoming sharper. It wasn't just the effect of Gamer Mind. He was genuinely thinking sharp.
And, this caused him to think more about his life in Konoha.
He still loved this village but he couldn't understand some of its actions such as hating him for Nine Tails.
He wasn't Nine Tails. He was only Naruto. Nine Tails was sealed inside of him. He also understood why he would be chosen for that.
But, he couldn't hate fourth for his action. If he could prevent the village from falling apart, then he would gladly do so.
Instead, what bothered him the most was Old Man Hokage.
Sure, he didn't tell him about his parents and he had some doubts about that. But, he shouldn't allow the village to do so much nasty stuff against him.
He was sure that Old Man Hokage loved him. Yeah, he couldn't do things that he wanted but the man was a Hokage.
His job was to take care of the village, not to take care of the individual. At the same time, he had some reasons to believe that he was hiding his heritage for some reasons.
It's just that he couldn't understand why.
His mind suddenly paused for a moment.
'Tomorrow, I will send a few shadow clones into the library and try to learn more about myself and the previous Jinchuriki or Uzumaki.'
