Re: Akimichi

"Naruto, there's no point in you having it. I'll tell you a truth about yourself..." Mizuki grinned mockingly, with a hand on his hip, and gaze full of contempt.

"MIZUKI! NO! DON'T" Iruka was both angry and full of panic, it was a top-secret, the Hokage himself ordered that none shall tell Naruto about this!

"Twelve years ago... You know about the demon fox being sealed, don't you?" Hearing Mizuki, Naruto tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what Mizuki tried to tell him.

"Since that incident, a new rule has been created. But, Naruto..."

"STOP!" Iruka was even more panicked than before, his hand stretched and he threw a kunai which Mizuki easily dodged.

"Hehehe, The rule is that nobody is allowed to talk about the fact that YOU are the demon fox!"

"Huh?" Naruto was baffled, his mind stopped thinking, Mizuki's word was like an exploding bomb inside his mind. 'I am the demon fox?'

"STOP IT!!!"

"HAHAHA, yes Naruto, YOU are the one that Killed your beloved Iruka sensei's parents, destroyed the village, and massacred innocent peoples!" Mad glint shone inside Mizuki's eyes, he was laughing gleefully without restraint.

"You were sealed up by the Hokage that you admire, and you have been lied to by everyone!"

"NO! MIZUKI!" A vein popped up on Iruka's head, he gritted his teeth with anger and regret.

"You have been lied to by everyone! Didn't you find it odd how everyone hated you? Iruka is the same! He actually hates you!" Mizuki reached his hand and was prepared to throw a big sized shuriken to quickly kill Naruto and took the scroll for himself.

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

Three handclaps could be heard interrupting Mizuki's preach, each and every eye was focused onto one rotund figure, Who with great confidence strolled inside this dark forest while munching potato ch.i.p.s slowly.

"Nice speech, Mizuki-sensei~"

"Student Akimichi, is it? What are you doing here?" Wary with Chouji's presence, Mizuki eyed his surroundings. 'Are the Anbus here too? this is not good, I have to snatch the scroll and leave as fast as possible!'

Without warning, Mizuki leaped and charged at the distracted Naruto, he's fast and looks like a blurry shadow, well from an ordinary untrained person's perspective of course.

With a stretched arm, Mizuki attempted to grab the Scroll on Naruto's back. Unfortunately for him, Naruto was able to react slightly on instinct and threw himself away. Mizuki was only able to touch the scroll but not able to grab it, with a second leap, Mizuki hurriedly tried another attempt to snatch the scroll away.

"[Bubun Baika] No Jutsu!" With a leap, Chouji flickered above Mizuki and enlarged his right hand, he smashed Mizuki like swatting a fly. Iruka who was worried for Chouji and expecting a battle to occur was jaw agape, He never expected for a genin who was just literally graduated this noon to defeat a seasoned Chunin. Granted Mizuki was an average shinobi with nothing special about him, but he was a Chunin nonetheless.

'Is this the strength of a noble clan? even their kids are this strong?' Iruka's mind was boggled. Although Chouji performed well in class, he never appeared to be this strong! Heck, even the Uchiha heir can't hold a candle to the ease Chouji handled Mizuki.

The Akimichi Clan is one of the four noble clans of Konoha village. Many of their clan's techniques revolve around the manipulation of their body weight and size through the use of Yang Release. With three others are Aburame, Hyuga, and Uchiha.

With their bountiful resources, the Noble clans were able to better nurture their members, that was not the sole reason for Chouji able to possess his current strength. He trained nonstop for most of his time with a passion that will make a certain green tight-suited jounin proud, coupled with his 'past' knowledge and achievement in martial arts and of course his clan's vast resources, his strength was advancing by leaps and bounds even surpassing his clan's former best geniuses by a large margin.

"You are weak Mizuki-sensei, you need to eat a lot more..." Chouji said while back to utilizing his both hands to eat his potato ch.i.p.s, leaving unconscious, beaten, and battered Mizuki on the ground. Unlike the original Chouji, he did not wear the u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r-like thing on his head so he did not appear silly. Instead, he let his hair loose to his back as he combed it from the front side to the backside and that gave him a bit of both 'wild' and 'neat' at the same time.

"As for you, Naruto-Kun..." Chouji slowly approached Naruto, he then silently eyed Naruto. The person in question was still distraught, his mind was wandering.

"Snap out of it, will you?!" Chouji kicked the downed Naruto on his c.h.e.s.t "Use your brain juice to think properly, how old are you? twelve years ago you're just a baby at best! And what can a baby do?"

"You are NOT the demon fox, you are Naruto! The silly boy who ranked last in the class, the troublemaker, and..."

"...The one who aspired to be a Hokage, am I right?"

With Chouji's speech, the light seems to be back in Naruto's eyes. And his flickered spirit turned ablaze. He flipped his body and stood on his two feet with both hands clenched hard.

"YES! I will become a Hokage!"

Small smile now hung on Chouji's lips, with a light flick, he tapped Naruto's forehead.

"Now use the technique you learned earlier and graduate, you will be a fine shinobi, that's what I am sure of!"

Naruto grinned and he was excited, he nodded and formed a hand seal. "Thank you Chouji, Now watch me, you too Iruka-sensei!"

"[Tajuu Kagebunshin] no jutsu!"

*Puff* *Puff* *Puff*

Multiple clouds of smokes have filled the region, and as it receded, hundreds if not thousands Naruto(s) could be seen filling the forest area to the brim.

'That's one heck of a technique, just how monstrous his chakra pool is?' Chouji was internally sweated, this was an impossible feat for him even though his chakra pool comparatively larger than his peers.

"Nishishishi, how about it? I'm amazing, aren't I? Do I pass Iruka-sensei?" said Naruto while he nudged his own nose.

Meanwhile, Iruka was still shocked, he was unable to utter any sound. 'Just how strong the youngster nowadays? First, it was Chouji, but it could be attributed to his clan. But now, Naruto too? I have to report this to the Hokage...'

Moments later, Iruka snapped out of his trance and smiled wryly. 'With all of earlier commotion, I bet the Hokage is already have been notified and the Anbus are already on their way if not already here watching us from the shadow...'

'You've grown up Naruto... At least I hope so...'

-Chuoji POV-

Meanwhile, after I got into my courtyard, I tried to perform the shadow clone technique that I saw earlier.

'It's done like this then this...'

*Poof*

With a poof of smoke, another me appeared inside the room. We're identical almost in every aspect except for our chakra pool size.

'So far so good, approximately B class technique?' I pondered while observing my own clone. After a while, I tried to release it to try the 'feedback' from it.

'Manageable, now the next part, multiple shadows clone...' I remembered that Naruto boy and his monstrous Chakra and wondering how Naruto was able to possess and control that many chakras. Maybe his gene? Training? Or perhaps the Kyuubi influence? Hmm, that ought to be noted.
