3 Bell Test and Progress
>Konoha - Naruto's apartment - Afternoon
"Wow..." I said out loud, due to my surprise. The chakra paper actually just cut into two, one half turning to ashes and the other half wrinkling. 'Wind, fire and lightning... That's a really good surprise...' I thought.
Standing up from my bed, I walk out of the apartment again, going in the direction of the Training Ground 7. On my way there, I dispelled nearly all my clones, and just got 10 of them to bring me back my kunais and shurikens.
Reaching the Training Ground 7, I dispel those clones and got some chakra back. Now I have about 35% of my reserves, which I just made 50 shadow clones again, losing something like another 20% of my reserves, not so sure myself...
"You know what to do..." I said and they all nod. Some shadow clones start trying nature transformation for wind, while some go to search for how to train Fire and Lightning nature transformation, because I don't have a clue about that. 'Maybe I should just ask grandpa about that... Lets use that...' I think before walking in the direction of the Hokage's Tower.
--------------------
The attendant, seeing me coming, contacts the Hokage right away. After waiting for a bit, she says that I can go in, and I thank her before walking up the stairs. "Hello, Naruto. How are you? Need something?" Said Hiruzen, wielding his smoking pipe like always. "Yes, grandpa. Remember that congratulating gift you offered me? Can you get me some books on Fire and Lightning nature transformation?" I go directly to the point.
"Why do you need that?" Asks Hiruzen, with a little frown on his face. "Do you perhaps have two affinities?" He asks with his mouth agape, without waiting for my reply to the previous question. "Yeah, I used a chakra paper and got those two, but I don't know how to start with them..." I said a half truth. Hiruzen just smiled and called an anbu to get those books for him, really lazy if I must say. After getting them, he said "Well, consider this as my and konoha's gift to you for graduating!" I just smile and pick up the books. Turning around to leave I say "Thanks, grandpa! I'll be going now..." and leave the office, going back to the training ground again.
--------------------
On the training ground, I just dispel the clones I sent to find the books and make more, giving a book to one and another book to other, and the other ones just go to train other things. After that I just go back to my apartment, eat something, take a shower and go to bed as I'm running low on chakra by now. Time to rest for today...
--------------------
Waking up, I stretch a little and dispel my clones, all of them, because the books are already on my desk in my room and my kunais and shurikens are stored in a scroll. Getting their memories I now know how to practice the nature transformation for my two affinities. To fire, it is to split your chakra in half, then rub those against each other erratically to generate heat, making fire. To lightning, you need to split your chakra and vibrate them against each other, thus making lightning. 'Easy to say...' I think, walking to the bathroom.
After taking a shower and getting a change of clothes, I go to the kitchen and eat something before walking to the Training Ground 7. As I know that Kakashi will be late, I'll just take my time going there...
--------------------
Reaching the training ground by 8am, I see Sasuke there, just laying agains a tree, and Sakura by his side, annoying him as always. "Hey..." I said, walking up to them. "You're late!" Said Sakura. "But sensei is too..." Said Sasuke, sounding like he's bored.
I just walk to them and when I'm near the tree, I start walking sideways up on the tree, shocking Sasuke and Sakura, who doesn't expected that. I just sit on a branch and doze off, ignoring their talking.
--------------------
Kakashi took his time getting there and Sakura just waked me up before he came. "Well, the test will consist of getting this bells from me. As you can see, there are only 2 of them, meaning that one of you will be going back to the academy. You need to come together with the intent to kill to take that from me. START!" He said, without waiting for us to think. I just do a handsign and spawn 2 clones, taking hold of Sasuke and Sakura and taking them with me to the bushes.
"Well, sorry for that, but you guys dozed off there." I said, and continue "It looks like it's a test to show him that we can work as a team. I won't order you, but I hope you guys can do it like this..." I explain to them my plan.
It consists of us combining our abilities to fight him while a clone change with his bells, nothing hard but to much smart to this dumb shinobis' world... We start with Sakura throwing some kunais, which made Kakashi evade right into Sasuke's fireball. Kakashi then use Kawarimi to change with a log, which I antecipated and got my clone, henged into two bells, to Kawarimi himself with the bells. 'Why didn't anyone think of this? You just need to Kawarimi into something with about the same mass as yourself...'
We walk out of the bushes and I said "Sensei, It was easier than I thought..." before showing him the bells within my hand. "But you can take it back, we won't be graduating without each other!" I said while throwing the bells at him. "He's right, we are a team!" Said Sakura. "Yeah..." Said Sasuke, with a bored tone as always, but with a little smile.
Kakashi was surprised, he never expected that they would get the bells, much less drop the chance to graduate just because of the team. "Well done... You all... Pass!" He said with some enthusiasm. "Lets meet here tomorrow at 7am to do our first mission!" He said, before disappearing with a shunshin. 'I really need to learn that...' I think to myself. "Well, see you guys tomorrow, I'll be doing some training..." I said before going to a secluded area.
--------------------
The way that chakra works is really a mistery. I can sense some energy coming from my mind and some coming from my body, intertwining to make my chakra. Every time I use a jutsu, the chakra moves according to my handsigns, meaning that if I can move the chakra without the handsigns, I can just insta-cast a jutsu without warning, like I'm training to do with Shadow Clones, which are my only jutsu right now.
Rasengan works with no handsigns as base, just making a sphere of chakra and rotating it in all directions, increasing the volume and density of chakra output and then containing it all together. Canon Naruto used ballons and rubber balls to facilitate, and even with that, he needed his clones to help him, because he didn't have enough chakra control. I'm not much better, by the way. As of now, I can barely walk on water, which my clones will be working on for me, hehe.
Let alone nature transformation, even walking on water is really difficult. My clones will need some time to get that right and perfect my chakra control. 'Ahh, how I like doing nothing and getting progress fast...' I think before summoning 300 clones and making them go train for me. 'Well, my reserves really are expanding by the day... 300 shadow clones and I still have some spare chakra... Lets just doze off a bit while they do their thing...' I think, before dozing off in a branch of the tree I was sitting...

>Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force - 1 day before
"So, will you tell us or we'll need to delve into your mind?" Said an anbu, looking at a haggard looking Mizuki. "I can't say." He says as if not caring about all that. "Well then, Yamanaka-san, do your thing..." Said the anbu, and another ninja comes and try to delve into the mind of Mizuki, only to be repelled and for Mizuki to start thrashing in pain. "Looks like they made some fail-safe measures, huh... Nothing unexpected... Thanks, Yamanaka-san. You can go now." Said the anbu, before throwing Mizuki at some random cell and going to report to the Hokage.
Using shunshin, the anbu appears in front of the desk of Hiruzen and says "Hokage-sama, after trying to delve into Mizuki's mind, we discovered that he has a fail-safe measure that don't let his mind be affected. How should we proceed?" To which Hiruzen responds "Just let him in the prison for now and up the defense level of Konoha by a notch."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!" Said the anbu before flickering to repass orders. "I just hope that it has nothing to do with Orochimaru or Danzo, it would be really hard to deal with, after all..." Said Hiruzen, before intaking some smoke from his pipe...
