Chapter 2

After class has ended for the day, after everyone has left the classroom, Naruto walked up to Hiruko who was still in his seat.

"Hey Hiruko" Naruto call's out his name before he then placed his two hands together and bow his head. "please can you teach me how to perform the clone jutsu."

Hiruko wasn't surprised by the fact that Naruto can't do the clone jutsu because from his past life, he already knows that he was the worst student in the academy and even failed the academy graduate exam three times and he also knows that it was only after he graduated that he could use the clone jutsu.

He thought about it for a while and decided to teach him. Although he knows Naruto learns to jutsu, there was no harm in learning early.

"don't worry Naruto, I can teach ya! but you have to put in a lot of work. The clone jutsu might look easy but it's pretty exhausting when learning it."

Naruto was very happy and his eyes were sparkling from excitement and tears. The clone jutsu is the one jutsu he can't learn no matter how hard he trained and he even failed the academy exam three times because of it.

"thank you very much Hiruko! it means a lot to me. And you don't have to worry, I'll train really hard to master the jutsu no matter how hard it is." The determination could be seen in his eyes. For someone who had failed his exams three times, he really don't want to fail again this time and become a laughing stock.

They make their way to the training grounds after that. It was a long walk so they chatted along the way where Naruto tells him about his past and other stuff like he would be a hokage one day and everyone in the village would have to respect him and stop looking down on him every time. They eventually reached their destination a few minutes later before Hiruko started explaining the basics on how to perform the clone jutsu.

"That's the basic step on how to use the clone jutsu. But hey Naruto, if you're a fast learner, I might teach you an advanced jutsu. "

" Really? What's that? tell me?" Naruto eyes were full of excitement as he can't wait to learn a new jutsu.

"I'll tell you after you successfully learned the clone jutsu."

"Ok, I'll get to it." Naruto moves a little distance from him then started making hand signs for the clone jutsu but his first attempt ended up in failure and he tried again but it was still the same result.

For the next few days Naruto keep training the clone jutsu but that's not the only training he did. He will sometimes ask him for some physical training untill after a week Naruto was able to perform the clone jutsu.

During their next meeting Naruto asked Hiruko about the advanced jutsu he promised to teach him.

"You still haven't forgotten about that!"

'No I haven't. I have been looking forward to it since you told me"

"Alright" Hiruko make a single hand sign and said " multiple shadow clone jutsu" after that, multiple shadow clones of himself pop-up at least twenty of them.

Naruto eyes wide in excitement as he was amazed by what he was seeing. A usual clone jutsu can be as many as 3 or 4 but this jutsu can make more than 20. "Although this jutsu is great, the number of clones you can make varies from a person's chakra." Hiruko explained. "So even if you can make the jutsu, there's no telling what specific number of clones you can make and also there is a difference between the normal clone jutsu and the multiple shadow clone jutsu. It's the fact that the clone jutsu is nothing but a hologram while the multiple shadow clone jutsu is a solid clone jutsu that will remain as long as the person still has chakra, the clone won't disappear."

"It doesn't matter, I'm ready to try it" Naruto said with excitement as he was already ready to make the hand signs for the jutsu. He thinks that this is a great jutsu for him not only can he make multiple copies of himself but as long as he has chakra, the clone won't disappear.

"Calm down a bit Naruto!" Hiruko knows that Naruto won't be able to practice the jutsu without a large amount of chakra and from his past live, he already knows that if Naruto need a large amount of chakra then he would have to consult the beast inside his body.

With that in mind, he start thinking of a way to make Naruto get the power of the nine tailed fox without harming his body. One way is for the nine tails to willingly offer his chakra to Naruto. Thinking about that, he came up with an idea.

"Hey Naruto, sit down and take off your jacket"

"huh" Naruto placed his two hands across his body embarrassed with the idea.

"just do it"

Sitting opposite him, Naruto took off his jacket and his t-shirt he's wearing underneath it and the seal that bind the nine tails was revealed on Naruto's stomach.

Hiruko placed his hand on his stomach and closes his eyes and the next instant, he could feel his self being in a pitch black room with a very cold atmosphere. Not because the surrounding was cold but it was because of something else and after walking around for a while, he found a caged seal just ahead of him and he knows full well what is behind the caged door.

"who dares to disturb my sleep." A very deep and frightening voice sounds out from the dark caged. Hiruko knows full well whom the voice belongs to.

"my name Hiruko but I guess you already know that right, Kurama?" he replied back and soon the darkness started to fade away and revealed the powerful legendary nine tailed fox.
