Water Clone Technique?!!

Kazutora, who had been practising the water walking, looked at his wet body with a frown on his face. Unlike what he had thought, Water walking seemed a bit more difficult than he had thought, and after falling four times, Kazutora noticed that it was because of several thoughts in his mind.

"Every change in my thought leads to some change in chakra. I should calm myself first and then focus again."

Kazutora muttered as he sat down on the riverside with his legs in the river. He closed his eyes and started to calm his thoughts while feeling the river flowing through his legs.

Half a minute later, Kazutora who had calmed down, opened his eyes and he stood on the good. He put one leg on the river with chakra flowing to his legs, and when he saw that he could stand on the river, he put another leg on it.

Standing on the river, Kazutora took deep breaths and started to walk while controlling the chakra on his legs.

Just before pulling his leg, Kazutora could take back his chakra, and increase the chakra in the other leg to support his weight.

When he would put his leg back on the river water, Kazutora would increase the chakra in his leg, and decrease the chakra from the other leg to balance his weight.

Slowly and slowly, Kazutora started to walk on the river water, and he found himself getting used to changing the chakra on his legs continuously.

A few more minutes passed by, and Kazutora found himself walking on the river with no difficulty. It's like his body had gotten used to the state, and when he switched from river to ground to river, his body would automatically recall the state from before and let the chakra move in his body.

'That's some scary muscle memory,' Kazutora thought in his mind, and now that he could walk on water, he decided to practice sliding on the water.

'After sliding, I will try to perform techniques while walking on water.'

Deciding on this matter, Kazutora started to slide on his water, and he fell into the water on his first try. Instead of swimming to the riverside, Kazutora released chakra from his legs to push himself upward and he jumped into the river.

"Phew!" Kazutora said while standing on the river and with a grin on his face, he continued to improve his chakra control.

"That's insane!" Anko said while pointing at Kazutora who was trying to slide on water, and she was dumbfounded by what she saw.

Her bruised face didn't feel painful anymore, and she looked at Kurenai with an 'Are you kidding with me?' expression.

"You said that he is talented, and I thought you were talking about people like us. That boy is on the same level as Kakashi, he might be even more talented than him."

Anko said while pointing at Kazutora, and Kurenai sighed at the words.

"Don't say anything about this matter. I don't want him to graduate early like Kakashi. You should know that the next one or two years are going to be difficult."

Kurenai said while sighing and Anko became silent at the words. She understood that with the loss of Fourth Hokage and his wife, and the war that had stopped before might start again and the friction between the countries would increase.

"If he was an ordinary genius, then I wouldn't say and he would be able to study at the Academy without worries. But his talent is too much. Do you remember how much time it took you to learn water walking?"

"Definitely not some minutes," Anko said while shaking her head and she didn't say that it took her a few hours to get used to the matter.

"Then, you should wait for some time, and send him to Academy next year in April," Anko said as she thought of the matter and saw Kurenai frowning at the words.

"I just want him to make friends at his age as he wouldn't learn much in the Academy."

"Listen to me and leave this matter for later. When the next session starts, send him to the academy. Till then, you can teach him different things and when he joins the Academy, he can control his strength to appear mediocre or ordinary genius."

Anko said with a glint in her eyes, and she could feel Kurenai's genuine care for Kazutora. For this matter, she decided to push Kurenai so that she wouldn't think much, and she knew that Kazutora was smart enough to understand their meanings later.

'Besides, if worse comes, and his talent is discovered, I will ask the teacher to take him as a student.'

Thinking of this matter, Anko looked at Kazutora and then asked Kurenai, "What type of Ninja does he want to become?"

She saw a smile appearing on Kurenai's face and Kurenai said, "A Medical Ninja who also specialises in Genjutsu."

Anko looked at her with a stunned look on her face and she dropped the idea of Orochimaru-Sensei taking him as a student.

'Well, I can ask the teacher to contact Tsunade-sama and send him to her.'

"Hmm, it's good! I will ask the Teacher about the books regarding Iryojustu as he is friends with Tsunade-Sama."

"For now, stop the matter regarding the Academy and teach him at the house. With the books I will bring, he will have enough things to study, and it's not like there won't be people to accompany him."

"We can take turns to take missions and you are thinking too much about this matter. This kid isn't a helpless kid. No talented kid is an idiot, and he is smart enough to take care of himself for some days."

Anko felt that Kurenai was being too serious about this matter. Yeah, she understood about the talent aspect, but the matter regarding friends, Anko could only say that it can't be forced.

Kurenai looked at Anko for a moment and she started to think that she was being too much in this matter. After looking at herself from a different perspective, she understood that it was true.

"Hmm, it must be because not much time has passed by," Kurenai murmured in a low voice, but Anko heard the words. She sighed at her words, and she could only put her hand on Kurenai's body to show her support.

Kazutora didn't know about this matter, and he was fully engrossed in his chakra control. He didn't know that not only he was practising his chakra control, but the chakra in his body was reacting with the water in the river.

He could feel that his movements in the water were becoming smoother, and Kazutora subconsciously also started to train in nature transformation while training in water.

The chakra that he released in the river, started to connect with the water, and the chakra in his body also started to change. This went unnoticed by Kazutora who was only focusing on the control.

Five minutes passed by, and Kazutora who got used to the movements stood on the water with his eyes closed. He decided to use the clone technique while standing on the water, and the change was noticed by the two girls.

Kurenai and Anko looked at Kazutora who stood on the water with his eyes closed.

They saw him slowly making the three familiar seals (Ram → Snake → Tiger) and they understood that Kazutora was trying to perform a clone technique.

"That's amazing for him to think on his own or was there something like this on notes?" Anko asked as she looked at Kazutora, and she had a feeling that he would be able to use the clone technique without any worry.

"I don't remember but it should be," Kurenai muttered while trying to calm the strange feeling in her body, and she had a bad feeling regarding this matter.

Just as Kazutora finished making seals, the duo saw the water rising from the river beside him, and it transformed into an identical Kazutora.

A dumbfounded expression appeared on their faces, and Anko said while shocked by the scene.

"Water Clone Technique?!!"
