Chapter 15 - Growth(4)

(T)Naruto: "Can you point me to the taijutsu section?" said the transformed Naruto. This time he took the form of a young civilian he saw in the morning. Every breath he took, every posture he was in, and his very stance and presence were just like the man he copied. He was the same exact person.

Librarian: "Sorry sir. I can not do that. Those are all shinobi content that civilians can not access as it is not safe for them and some people can seriously hurt themselves.."

(T)Naruto: "Oh. I see Ma'am. No problem. Thank you for your time."

Librarian: "Sorry for the inconvenience. Enjoy the rest of your stay." To this statement, Naruto nodded and walked away.

Naruto: "Darn it! So close." He sighed. "Looks like I gotta rob a shinobi." With that, Naruto quickly left the building in order to look for a shinobi. Walking around, he tried to spot a shinobi in his transformed state.

Eventually, he found one. That shinobi had a grin on his face and he put the headband in his pants before he went inside a store. Naruto chased after him and transformed into a younger child. Using Stealth, he got close to him and used pickpocket to take the headband from his pocket without him noticing.

Naruto was confused as to why that shinobi put his headband in his pants but it didn't matter to him. As he reached the library, he transformed into the Shinobi he robbed the headband from and wore his headband. He reached the librarian once more and simply went into the section reserved for shinobis while looking at the librarian and nodding at her with her nodding back and going back to her reading.

Amazed was the first emotions Naruto felt. Although the civilian's section had a lot of books, the shinobi section was just another tier higher. There was bȧrėly anyone here at all so it was relatively quiet. Naruto performed his shadow clones and told them to do the potent transformation to collect all the information they can on taijutsu.

After a great study session, every civilian clone that was done with their own task left one by one and each went to the store to use its bathroom. When they went to the restroom, they all undid the jutsu and gave all their experience to the main Naruto.

Naruto: "Cain. Have I ever told you that the reading and writing capabilities that you have given me, in the beginning, is so useful? I mean, I thought it was just convenient but this, this is on another level."

[I know.]

Naruto: "Ahh you cheeky bastard. I know you know. Thanks though. You saved me a lot of time."

Main Naruto and the other shinobi transformed clones were still going at it. When they felt like they were done, they all quietly vanished and all the information they have gathered on taijutsu was transferred. See Naruto thought that if he ever ran out of Chakra, at least he could beat the living crap out of his enemy. Of course, the reverse is also true as Naruto wanted to optimize his chakra usage. When he looked at his chakra control, he realized how much Chakra he must have wasted so he decided to be more efficient.

After he was done with his knowledge trip, Naruto walked out of the shinobi section and went to a civilian section. There, he transformed to another young man and went to the librarian.

(T)Naruto: "Hi there. I believe this belongs to someone?" said Naruto as he handed in the headband.

Librarian: 'Oh my. How could someone leave this here?' "Thank you, young man. You did a great service for the Leaf Shinobi."

(T)Naruto: "No no. It is my duty." Naruto sneered inside.

Librarian: 'What a great youth.'

(T)Naruto: "Alright then. I'm going to head out. Goodbye lady."

Librarian: "Okay. Have a good day."

Saying those last few words, Naruto went straight home. He made some quick lunch and decided to sit down and meditate in order to digest the information he had.

Naruto: 'Turned out Madara had a lot of history with this village.' thought Naruto as he reviewed his memories. Naruto was so confused as to how a traitor can just appear out of nowhere. Why did Madara become the way he is and why is he alive? Naruto wanted to put all his brainpower into learning this and figure out the mystery but in the end, he decided not to. Instead, he focused on the Chakra and Chakra control information that he read about.

Chakra is born when physical energy and spiritual energy. Each respectively coming from the body and the mind. However, what got Naruto confused was that even though he had Chakra, he also had a power source that seems to purely spiritual energy and no physical energy. This was the Mind Power skill that he had obtained from maxing out Mind Resistance. If it is separated, then why aren't there more reports about it or better yet, does it even exist somewhere else besides within him.

Naruto was greatly confused as to what that power source is but if it exists, then perhaps the opposite exists as well. If spiritual energy can become Mind Power, then what can physical energy become? This theory made Naruto excited due to the fact that this would be much easier to achieve. Naruto is used to being more on the physical side so it should make sense that would focus on physical energy a bit more.

Even though he was excited, he knew that this could not be achieved soon. In fact, he planned focus wholeheartedly on Chakra control. This is where his very foundation of using chakra would exist. With this, he could fight and use clones for days without being exhausted. Not to mention, he could finally start on Medical Ninjutsu. That would give him a higher survival rate.

As he read the directions of how to start, he decided to get the necessary item which consisted of a leaf. Putting the leaf on your forehead and pouring all your chakra into it to use it as a focal point was the process. If the leaf moves and floats, then the first stage is complete. This also meant that Naruto's chakra control increased a little bit and his mental focus became stronger.
