Ch - 10 : Training: I

Yo! Finally my exams are over. Cheers. I found this idea, gave it a twist. Today's chapter is an interesting one.

Older Naruto told him the truth except for the fact that his body is being poisoned and his health is deteriorating. Young Naruto was bouncing on his feet at the revelation happy for the older Naruto.

"That's great niichan."

Unknown to him, older Naruto's guilt was touching the roof. He was barely able to hold his emotions. His tears might flow at any second.

"Thanks." He answered but his voice was raspy and dry.

"Oi oi. Are you okay Naru-nii?" Concerns were clearly reflecting on his face.

"I am." He answered with certainty. What the hell is he doing? He took the responsibility and now he is going to fulfill it. He was gonna help his young counterpart to achieve his dream. Because that was now his mission.

Now you answer my question? Younger Naruto looked at his counterpart curiously. How did you form a Shadow Clone without any hand seals? Older Naruto knew the reason. He just wanted to know to be sure. You can never be too careful.

Younger Naruto just shrugged his shoulders. "I dunno. It just came naturally to me." If he has to say bluntly, he would say that he didn't knew. Shadow Clones without hand seals, what's so special anyways?

I see. Naruto smirked. Just the answer he was expecting. This was really a goldmine. Now Naruto could progress further than beyond. Now he could become Po- no, Hokage. Damn. Lucius always saying Pokage really confused him. You know we discovered something interesting about your shadow clones. Other than memory transfer, your clones also transfer the physical strain, combat experience, Chakra strain, etc. He finishes with a smirk but he quickly fell flat on his face. This was because younger Naruto was looking like a confused fish out of water. Older Naruto sighed. Idiot as suspected. It means that, for example you made 1000 clones and each of them did one push-up, then after dispelling them you get the strain of 1000 push-ups. In short, you can do a thousand push-ups in a few seconds. Because your Chakra moulding experience and strain also reaches back to you, you were able to make a Shadow Clone without any hand seals. He finishes proudly.

Okay! That did sound cool and tempting but what about the Shadow Clones without hand seals. "How shadow clones without hand seals are useful? I mean they are clones only."

Older Naruto banged his head. Right. An idiot. He sighed. Think about it. You're engaging your enemy and he's getting an upper hand. Without any hand seals a clone appears behind his back and knocks him out effectively defeating him. Naruto made an 'o' sign with his mouth. That was impressive.

"But is it possible to make clones far from the original body?"

It is. Order Naruto stated. You remember the jutsu Kakashi-sensei used Raikiri. Young Naruto nodded. That jutsu was cool. There was no denying this fact that Naruto was almost bewitched by the jutsu the first time he saw it. Although it brought some bitter memories.

Haku's cold and motionless body took the lightning cutter straight to heart. There wasn't even time to say last words as he coughed blood and died right there.

Naruto shook his head. He didn't wanted to remember those bitter moments. Although it was his powerlessness that he wasn't able to save Haku. A fact that even haunts the older Naruto until now.

Coming to the point quickly he continued. What do you know about chakra already?

Naruto racks his brain. He doesn't come up completely empty, when he thinks about it. "There are five types? And what kind of affinity you are determines what kind you can use best."
