The Legend Of Naruto

Chapter 3 : Chakra

Arriving at the temple Naruto placed his bags down in his new bedroom, sitting on his bed he took the one thing that was one of his most precious object, it was a picture of Asuma, Kurenai and Gai with a 3 year old Naruto on Gai's shoulders all of them smiling at the camera with Kurenai giving a peace sign, Asuma ruffling Naruto's hair and Gai giving a thumbs up.

Seeing this made Naruto remember the promise he had made to them, that he would grow strong to protect them all from danger, smiling Naruto grabbed the first book on how to access Chakra and how to control it and ran to his training area.

Arriving at the area opened the book and began reading through the instructions.

"To activate your Chakra memorise and practice each of the following hand signs shown in the book which are the Bird, Boar, Dog, Dragon, Hare, Horse, Monkey, Ox, Ram, Rat, Serpent and Tiger hand signs, once having the hand sings memorised proceed to form the Ram seal and concentrate on the energy flowing through you and try and picture yourself reaching out and grabbing it, Warning should you not succeed on activating you Chakra on the first time do Not worry, keep practicing and you will begin to feel you're Chakra coming to you,'Small Tip' Strong emotions will help your Chakra rush to the surface."

"Woah this book is really helpful" Naruto spoke to himself, going through each of the hand signs to the point where he didn't need the book and could do them in rapid succession Naruto formed the Ram sign and closed his eyes in concentration.

"AHHH this isn't working at all!, Damn book didn't even help at all" Naruto raged to himself as he threw a tantrum, grabbing the book Naruto reread everything to make sure he had followed all the steps correctly, stopping at the end "Strong emotions will help my chakra surface?, what the hell does that mean?!" Naruto sighed before placing his hands in the seal required, his mind began to drift the three chunin and how happy they made him feel, how loved he felt from them and how he promised to protect them at any cost 'Please! Please! I need power to protect them, I need power to protect all close to me, I need power to help bring balance to the world, I need power so that I can stop being afraid to stand up for what is right, I need power to protect EVERYONE!' As Naruto screamed in his mind his body answered his call for help.

Chakra burst around him forming a shell, sharp winds blew every except at him, the earth cracked around his feet from the pressure of his Chakra and Naruto screamed along with his Chakra as it continued to rise from its source.

As the Chakra slowly died down and returned to its owner Naruto fell to his knees gasping for air, he had never felt so tired in his life but at least he managed to draw out his Chakra, taking a minute to catch is breath Naruto dragged himself over to the book and began reading the next part.

"After accessing you're Chakra you may begin using the 'Leaf exercise' which involves you using a leaf and using you're Chakra to stick it to you're forehead and holding it there for a period of time usually an hour or so, this exercise will not only help with your Chakra control but also allow you subconsciously draw apon you're Chakra at command, this will also help you be able to form a strong sense of concentration, help you grasp a better feeling of you're Chakra and allow you to be able to use the right amount of Chakra for you're justu so you're not overloading it or making it too weak, 'Small Tip' When doing this exercise form the Tiger Seal when channelling you're chakra, this will allow you're chakra to be able to root in a specific part of you're body, this is why most fire based justu's are made for this seal because the seal allows the user to focus their chakra inside of their lungs"

Nodding his head Naruto headed to the garden to begin the exercise.

Entering the clearing Naruto walked over to the nearest tree and proceeded to grab a handful of leafs, sitting next to the tree Naruto placed the leafs on the ground leaving one in his hand, holding the leaf up to his face Naruto tilted his head back and let the leaf rest against his forehead, brining his hands it the tiger seal Naruto closed his eyes before focused his chakra to where the leaf was, feeling his chakra gather to his forehead he slowly tilted his head down to down and sat perfectly still and the leaf remained there for a good 2 seconds before slipping away, opening his eyes Naruto sighed before repeating the action again this time making it stay for 3 seconds before it slipped away.
