Naruto: The Great change

Ch - 18 : The birth of mysterious Shinobi

"So niichan.... play ninja with us."

"What's that?" Since Naruto never had much of interaction with kids of his age he didn't knew even the basic kids games.

"How could you not know?" Konohamaru pointed at him. "Come on. Let me tell you."

And Konohamaru told him the rules of the games. It was basically hide 'n seek but you've to use ninja techniques to hide yourself or any sneaky trick.

"Bah!" Naruto told them. "It's so boring." He then cracked open his one eye. "Tell me would you like to be trained in real ninja stuff." He gave a grin.

"Real ninja training?" They looked towards each other. "Yes!!!" They all cheered at once. It was nice to be alone. Especially with people who didn't avoid him like a plague.

Because he learned other jutsus as well. He learnt many things in the last few months. And he was strong now. He could walk along with others now.

Now,

"Yup. That's it. Do it."

Naruto was cheering for his three new apprentices namely Moegi, Udon and Konohamaru. Well they also called him boss and it's a boss' responsibility to look after his minions. Now they were learning to bring out chakra from their pores of chakra coils embedded in skin. Unlike young Naruto who could produce chakra from the pores of his skin namely muscles, children are needed to be trained to gain mastery over this small exercise. Although it doesn't look like much, this exercise later helps alot with chakra control.

"Finally." Konohamaru finished first followed by Moegi and Udon. Looks like Moegi got an impressive chakra control whereas Udon is a critical thinker who brings out his best using calculations. Konohamaru is more like a kinesthetic learner who learns by practical experience and approach. These three suit each other's needs well.

"You only did from 10% pores of your skin embedded with Chakra coils. Keep doing it until you could get it with at least 25% pores of your skin." Naruto instructed them. It was greatly far more easier than producing raw chakra from the pores of your skin.

"Aw...." Konohamaru whined followed by Moegi and Udon. Man, these three could form the cutie pie triplets rather than Konohamaru corps. "But this is so boring."

He shouted pulling his hair frustratingly.

"Please leader." Naruto looked at Moegi posing cutely. "Can't we do something else?"

Nope. Naruto wouldn't allow it. Udon also joined. "Please leader."

"Not at all. Keep practicing until and unless you've completed the exercise."

Suddenly a gust came along. Naruto saw that a poster also came rolling along with wind. What's this? He thought curiously. The poster was that of a circus. Looks like a circus came in Konoha for a month. It was evening anyways. Hmmmm..... I wonder.....

"Is there a new circus in Konoha?"

"Yeah! There is." Konohamaru enthusiastically nodded. "I wanted to visit it but-" his face soured. "-grandpa says he's too busy."

"Well I wanted to go as well so I'll request my parents today." Udon said. "I heard it's a great circus."

"My friends were also talking about it." Moegi said. And then she sighed dramatically. "But it turns out that my parents are too busy."

Another Naruto appeared beside the original Naruto. The three jerked a little not expecting another Naruto to pop out of nowhere.

Naruto whispered something into his ear as the clone disappeared in a body flicker. "I want to learn that jutsu." Konohamaru pointed at Naruto who just disappeared. Moegi and Udon also nodded.
