The Forests of Silence

The other two waved energetically as Shan approached. They were both Kiri ninja – one had the same white hair as Makoto and the other seemed to melt the snow as she walked. That was an interesting phenomenon? Was it something to do with the type of chakra that she used? If so, then why did it happen continuously?
 
“Hey! Show us that thing you did!” The one with Makoto like hair spoke rapidly. Definitely not like Makoto. Not like Makoto at all.
 
“What thing?”
 
“The thing with the hundred other versions of you! It was cool!” White-Hair yelled. He was loud for a shinobi.

Shan sighed as he placed his hands together. “TAIJUU KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU”. One hundred clones of Shan popped out of smoke. The two squealed as they saw the number.

“No way!”

“How!”

“I can’t believe you can make so many! And they’re real?!”

The two alternated in their shocked voices. Shan considered them. They were impressed by the clones – similar to Makoto…but…they lacked something. They weren’t the types that he could bring into his forming team. The team that he was beginning to contemplate a name for…Tartarus. They would be known as Tartarus.

“They’re real. They are useful in a fight – though not as strong as a real body.” Shan said, not telling them about the training aspects.

Shan and his one hundred clones trounced through the forest after the trio – two Genin and a Jounin, as it turns out. Shan was rightfully embarrassed when he discovered that this Jounin thought his skill level equal to these genin. Sure, he was effectively more powerful – but he was evidently lacking a large amount of chakra control if he was to be subjected to the same training as these two. At first, he thought the jounin was trying to demean him, but then he thought about it. It would make sense if he did have a weakness like that. He had lacked all proper training since being an Academy Student, after-all.

Shan – his hundred clones – and the other three walked through the trees until they arrived at a clearing. All around them were very large and sturdy looking trees.

“This, is your training. It’s simple, apply chakra to your feet and walk up the tree. If you master that in the time that we are out here, then you can meet me at the lake.” The Jounin pointed at a small lake just outside of the clearing. Shan almost scoffed at the training. He had walked on a cave ceiling long before he had become a Genin or Chuunin. This should be easy for him.

“Tsk, gathering chakra in my feet? This is easy” Shan grumbled as he began to make a hand sign. He stopped when he noticed the Jounin raise his hand.

“Keep the clones. Not only will you train faster, but it will also be harder. You don’t have access to all of your chakra when you are using some to maintain the clones. That split attention will make this task far more difficult – and you will gain far more from it than otherwise.” The Jounin said smartly. As much as Shan hated having a teacher, he had to admit that the instructor was correct.

“Well, let’s get to climbing.” Thirty-four of the shan’s said, including the real one. They all chose a tree and stared it down. Shan couldn’t speak for his clones, but he was still a little miffed at doing this training. He was above such meaningless exercises, after-all. He could already walk on walls and he doubted that having clones out would make being able to control his chakra that much more difficult. He could still perform jutsu when he had clones, after-all.

Shan gathered chakra in his feet. It wasn’t hard, so he didn’t need to focus too much on the task.
