Naruto : Shadow King

After gladfully failing the assessment test, I shamefully came to an open ground to train, of course, the best place to train for me would be the Nara land. To be more exact, the Nara forest. It's covered with deer mostly and doesn't have any dangers.

It's only been two days since I came to this world and only now that I am getting some time to observe the world around me. I would have loved to go on a village tour just about now but right now is the time to Grind.

"Okay, let's start with something basic," I mutter as I look around and after making sure that I am alone, I make a hand sign which looks like a Dog.

This wasn't a handsign in the Naruto world but rather a hand sign to summon one of the ten Shikigami from the Ten Shadow. Just like the system explained before that I can use Chakra to do everything curse energy can.

At first there was nothing but then I felt a tug at my Chakra pool, which of course wasn't nearly enough as I would like it to be. Nara people are not known for their big chakra pool. Mine is about as same as Shikamaru.

Meaning not that much. This should be a priority for me to gain in both chakra control and chakra size in time.

I saw the shadow beneath my leg started to shift and slowly the shadow from its normal 2D shape turned into 3D shape. Like coming out of the ground. It was a noble experience honestly, even better than Shadow manipulation. Hell, Almost all sorts of Jutsu in this world are like that.

I succeeded in my very first try, even shadow manipulation needed me a few tries to pull it off but this happened almost instantly.

Soon the shadow turns into the shape of two dogs. One white and one black, both had some sort of marking on their heads.

I was on my guard though, even after knowing that I didn't have to fight this first Shikigami, I was still tense.

But after waiting there for a second and not getting attacked by them, I sigh in relief. Usually, dogs won't attack you if they have their tongue out and wagging their tails at you right?

"Sit," I order, seeing whether they can understand me.

And they sat.

Blink…

"Bark."

"WOFF…Woff…woff…woff…"

"Okay okay stop."

…

Okay, that was way to easier than I anticipated it to be, almost too easy. But let's not Jinx myself here, before I start any kind of training I need to test them out.

"Okay, let's race, Look at that tree over there. All three of us will run from here to that tree upon my signal. Give me your best speed here." I first decided to test out their speed.

"Woff." Both respond simultaneously.

"Okay, ready set, go."

Before I could even accelerate, both the Shikigami's bolted away from their place, rushing at the pointed tree with all their speed. I seeing things just gulp, not sure now whether they are fast or I am out of shape.

Probably both.

They both reach the tree at the same time, covering a distance of around 100 or so meters under less than 10 seconds, very close to Usain Bolt, while I took more almost 20 to 30 seconds.

I would have been embarrassing but there was no one besides the dogs here so whatever. "Need to work on my Stamina." I huffed and said, making sure to remember that.

After that came the distance test.

"I want you to run at the edge of the forest, both on the different sides, and make sure that no one sees you," I command them and they obey.

Immediately running at with the same speed as previously shown like they don't feel drained at all. Well, they are not real dogs so maybe that's what really happening.

The reason for sending them away like this was two, wanted to know whether I could contact with them mentally if they were not close at whether they could sustain their form if they went too far away from me.

Both ideas check out, I can command them, even sense them where they are if I concentrate enough. It's like knowing they are there but not sure how. And lastly yes they won't just disappear if they go far from me.

"Good."

The last two tests would be the tracking test and hunting/fight but I can't do that here. So for the time being let it be.

"Good Job, you guys can go back now." I mentally said, pondering whether they would get the command and to my surprise they did. They both Vanished from their place even after they were much farther away from me.

Neat…

Now comes the subject of other Shikigami's, they will need me to exorcise them, a fancy term to hunt them down and kill them before they learn who the boss here is and listen to me.

There is a Rabbit, a Toad, A Bird with a Human-like face, A Giant Snake, an Elephant, a Deer, an OX, a Tiger and lastly the granddaddy of all, the Mahoraga.

Thanks to my knowledge about JJK world, I know almost all of them beside the Tiger. I am not planning on summoning them right now. Dogs are enough for the time being.

Lets focus on my own training for the now.

Replacement, Clone, and Transformation are the Jutsu which I already know. So they will only need me to hone them out to perfection. This Jutsu is pretty much useless against experienced Shinobi but still, it can give me an edge when fighting some low-life thugs.

Shadow Manipulation and Shadow Clone is something that I have to learn, I can barely do Shadow Manipulation and never try Shadow Clone.

Lastly Taijutsu, Shuriken Jutsu, and Chakra Control. Hmm…

It's risky to use Shadow Clone out in the open, Genin like me is not supposed to have something like that but that can give me that needed edge in training which I need.

Maybe hiding the clone in home when he do Injutsu and Chakra control training while I solely focus on the physical aspect?

Possible.

For the time being, lets start with good old Tree Walking. Need enough control over Chakra before attempting Shadow Clones. Unlike Naruto I don't have enough to waste on clones. I have to be efficient with them.

With my mind made, I decided that today I will decicate on chakra control.

I have enough money for the time being to last me for some time, thus I don't immediately has to take a mission.
