Born as a Sage in Naruto World

In The Meanwhile, Jun was on his way to the Hokage's Office to discuss a few things with the Third Hokage. He needed a few suitable jutsus he could teach others, and a training method suited to each one of them. He reached the office son and was asked by his secretary to wait since he was meeting someone. Jun waited quietly at a side as he meditated while standing, he usually spent time meant for sleep or waiting like this, every bit of training he does is needed. The secretary was confused as how was he standing so still.

In Hokage's office, Two Old men were sipping tea with their eyes closed, their eyes movements beneath those closed eyes betraying their calm exterior. They were sensing something else though. One of them was The Third Hokage, the other was an old man with a top not on his head full of ancient white hair, with long eyebrows and long pointed white beard. They sat their quietly facing each other while finishing their tea. Then the Third asked him,

"So How is it Hinoki? Piqued your interest after so long? Amazing isn't it?"

"Ah Yes, Very tasty Hiruzen", Do give me a packet of this later. I don't get any similar kind where I live." Hinoki ignored his subtle hints and focused on his tea, waiting for him to come to the main matter.

"Ahh, I know you are doing it deliberately. Fine, I will come to the point. You always looked for one who could fuse with nature energy like breathing, so that he can inherit your 'responsibility' and complete what you started. Trust me, I know you are looking for the other one, but he is not suitable. Trust me, this one is born to subdue 'that' and succeed."

"Fine, don't nag Hiruzen. I will give him two years while I guide him. Don't tell him about anything else for now. For now we will just say I am here to train him in Sealing Arts since I am the best you got." Hinoki said.

"Mm Ok. I will tell him to come in then." Hiruzen signaled his secretary outside to send Jun inside. As Jun came in, he had forgotten to tone off his eyes, since he had just woken up from a meditation. Hinoki was startled a bit seeing the runes spinning in his eyes, and his hands in bandages, but calmed down as his eyes went back to normal.

"Meditating while waiting Jun?" retorted The Third while looking at his eyes go back to normal from their runic states. He knew about Jun's peculiar bloodline so he didn't pay attention to it.

"Just passing the time Hokage Sama. Actually I came here today for a permission to use the Training Ground 3 for group training purposes, also to get the permission to browse the restricted library for a few jutsu ideas about my future training. Oh and one last thing, do you have any training technique or jutsu that helps train faster? Even if side effects, I will take it as long as it isn't too much." Jun stated his requirements.

"Lots of things you need huh, Jun. Well First two are fine by me, and I have an idea about the third. But before I give you the jutsu that satisfies your third request I will caution you not to speak of it to someone else or teach it to them before informing me."

"I don't plan to teach it to a lot of people. There are only five people, including me, in the training group, so if you don't mind I will only discuss about it with them, but only if they are suitable for it, otherwise they won't be taught or told."

"Alright, the jutsu that will satisfy your purpose is the Shadow Clone Jutsu. What do you know about the usual clone jutsu?"

"Well it uses an elemental medium to create a clone of the user with the element as the base. Its characteristics and specialties depend on the element used."

"Yes" the Third confirmed "But there is a problem. Since the usual clones have an elemental medium, it makes them need instructions, also if they are destroyed nothing changes in the creator of the clones since the clone won't have any means to transfer the info so to speak, or to be specific, the brain part isn't created when using regular clones. At least that is true for the basic five elemental clones. Some advanced elements are exception but I won't talk about those. What is the point right now is that, Shadow clone is completely made of non-elemental chakra it replicates the entirety of its creator, i.e. from the chakra signature of the user to user's brain itself. And when it's destroyed, part of the chakra returns to the user, bringing all the experiences of the clone with it. Using this training is made easier. But it has a huge defect. When I said that experiences return to creator of clone, I literally mean all the experience. All the mental exhaustion, sensations of pain, training experience, even death, everything is remembered each time your clone is destroyed. Just imagine, you dying again and again and again, enough to put a serious damage on your mental health. Therefore its user has to have immense mental strength and will power, also good chakra regeneration or having enormous chakra reserves doesn't hurt, because each time you make one shadow clone, the amount of chakra you have is equally distributed between you and your clones. So this is definitely not for those with average chakra regeneration or capacity. I gave you information of this jutsu as you have both the chakra reserves and the high regeneration of chakra recommended for this jutsu."

"Alright, I will take care. How do I get this jutsu though?" Jun asked.

"I will tell one of the ANBU to take you to the Secret Scroll of Forbidden Jutsu, you can learn it from there, also its enhanced version of its present there. Might be useful, and, I won't tell you not to read about other jutsus in it, but remember, there is a reason it's called forbidden, incorrect use can lead to your death. Anyway, there is one more thing. I would like to introduce you to my old friend Hinoki, he is a Sealing art expert. Sealing arts are one of the rarest of shinobi arts, and if you are serious about it then you need a good teacher, would you like to learn from Hinoki? He is one of the best among the current people I know. Also he can guide you on various other things apart from Sealing Arts."

"I would be honored to." Jun agreed
