1 Leaving Konoha, Shadow Clone Jutsu and The Eight Inner Gates

At the Hokage summit, the wind breezing around, Naruto was sitting on the Fourth Hokage's head while watching the village in which he grew up.

He really loved Konoha but the people there were too cruel, always cussing at him and calling him a monster.

Naruto did not know what he did wrong or what was his mistake.

He always tried to get the attention of the people by doing mischiefs. But even so, the people in the village would ignore him.

Tomorrow was the Genin Exam, Naruto knew that he wouldn't be able to pass the exam because he can't even do the clone jutsu.

So Naruto decided to go out of the village and show them that even monsters can achieve greatness.

Naruto, in his usual garbs, have two scrolls with him; a big one and a small one.

"Hmmm. I cannot go back to the village now, not after stealing these two forbidden jutsus but they sure are great. Hehehe. The Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Eight Inner Gates." Naruto said while chuckling to himself.

He stood up and went into the forest behind the hokage summit to start his own journey.

He gave one last look at the village, his eyes expressing sadness. "Well, there's no turning back now."

After a long time of walking, Naruto stopped near a lake. "Oh my God, why did I not steal a map?! At least I would've known where to go." Naruto panted heavily.

With this, Naruto opened the smaller scroll which contained the Eight Inner Gates Technique.

He did not have time to read the contents of these two Jutsus when he was in the village being in fear of getting caught.

"The Eight Inner Gates huh?" Naruto said, "The Eight Gates are eight specific tenketsu on a person's Chakra Pathway System which limits the overall flow of chakra within a person's body. The basis for the idea of the chakra gates comes from the body's limits on the functions within it. This makes the body much weaker but it keeps the body from expiring too soon. By undergoing intense training, one can learn how to open these gates allowing the user to surpass their own physical limits at the cost of extreme damage to their own body. It sure is good but the training will take time."

"The Shinobi uses this Jutsu needs his body to be prepared for enormous amounts of chakra flowing through it which might result in rupturing of veins and even death," Naruto reads. "No shit, it's a forbidden Jutsu. The first gate is The Gate of Opening which is located in the brain. It removes the restraints of the brain on the muscles, so 100% of the user's strength can be used whereas normally, a person can only use 20% of their muscles' strength to keep them from disintegrating. Unlocking this gate allows the user to use the Front Lotus."

"Front Lotus huh? Well, first, I should learn to open the first gate The Gate of Opening albeit Front Lotus," Naruto said, "To activate the First gate, the shinobi needs to flow all his chakra through the Gate which is on the left side of the brain of a shinobi"

"This is tough but how should I train my body?" Naruto was confused. Even though there were many details in the scroll, there was none that told how to train the body. "Guess there is no particular way. I just need to train it until my body is capable to handle the strain."

"Let's open the Shadow Clone Scroll first." Naruto opened the scroll and read its contents. "This jutsu allows the user to create one or more copies of themselves. The user's chakra is evenly divided between themselves and their clones: creating one clone will give it half the user's chakra, creating two clones will give each a third of the user's chakra, and so on. Depending on how much chakra the user has and how many clones they make, this rapid depletion of their reserves can be dangerous. Because of this, usually, only those of at least jōnin-level can safely use the standard Shadow Clone Technique."

"Hmm this is just like Clone jutsu, right? Let's see if I can do this" With this Naruto started to revolve his chakra as per the instructions in the scroll to perform the jutsu.

*pooof*

A cloud bursts out next to Naruto and there was a new Naruto standing there.

"Yeaaaa!!!!!! I did it!!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Wait a minute. But how was I able to do a forbidden Jutsu when I can't even do a simple clone jutsu?" Naruto was perplexed due to the fact that he was able to do a jonin level forbidden Jutsu but not a Genin level one.

"Maybe I am a Genius? Hehe. Yeah, that must be it." Naruto laughed in his own fantasy.

Naruto then started controlling this new clone and he found out that the clone was just the same as the real person, not like the Clone Jutsu where the clone would be immaterial. "Cooool. Now, I won't have to do any chores. I can just order these clones around."

As Naruto was immersed in his own fantasy, he suddenly got an idea. "Wait a minute, can I not just make two or more clones and make them train for the Eight Inner Gates?" Naruto exclaimed, "Yeah, that must be it. As they are made up of my chakra and some chakra comes back to me when they disintegrate, that will just be like training with half the efforts and getting twice the results. Oh man, this really is great!"

Soon Naruto made more clones and made them do strenuous exercises to train their body. Soon, the forest was filled with shouting voices and many Narutos each doing some type of training or such.
