Discimer: I don't own Naruto or the Gamer. Please support the official release.

  It was October 10th and Naruto was awake in his bed staring at his ceiling. He sighed as he thought about the day.

  'Everyone's probably busy with their stuff. And maybe it's best if I don't just leave the apartment for today. But still, today's my birthday. Maybe gramps will e to visit…'

  Feeling slightly depressed, the young blonde just stayed in bed. He clearly remembered the looks sent his way and the cruel words spoken in whispered tone by the vilgers when he went out o Memorial day.

  'I'll just stay in bed and sleep.'

  Knoock.

  Naruto's head snapped up and looked at his door.

  Knoock.

  Hearing the knog again, he quickly got out of bed ao the door. He looked through the peephole and saw his friend waiting outside. The blonde was surprised to see Daichi at his doorstep early in the m.

  "Daichi, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked, opening the door.

  "M to you too Naruto. Now e o ready. We're going out today." Daichi smirked looking at Naruto's cartoonishly cute pajama outfit.

  The blonde slightly smiled hearing that. His depressing thoughts vanished. "Wait! What about the others?"

  "Yeah. I already went to everyone's home. Sioday is the memorial day, they're all busy with their d stuff. It's just you and me." Daichi said with a shrug. "Now e o moving."

  Naruto excitedly nodded ao get ready while Daichi looked around the apartment and noticed the piled up trash. 'Yeah. This will take some work.'

  About 20 mier Naruto and Daichi were headed to their spot in the forest.

  "Man, I wish the others were here too, ya know?"

  "Oh I'm hurt that you don't want me here. Then maybe I'll just go home." Daichi said with mock hurt and crocodile tears.

  "No No No! I didn't mean that. I was just kidding, ya know."

  "Hahaha… It's always fun watg you get riled up like this."

  "Why you… So what are we doing here anyway?"

  The Genin smiled at his friend's question. "We're going to train."

  Naruto's eyes lit up as he heard that. But they quickly lost their sparkle when he heard Daichi's words.

  "Yoing to master a chakra trol skill that'll help with mastering the three basijutsu."

  "Aw man, Chakra trol? That's not what I want. e on. Show me some awesome jutsu. You must know a lot."

  Daiodded his head with a smile. "I do know. But it won't help you with the lousy Chakra trol you have… Now stop pining. Do you wanronger or not?"

  At that question the hesitation on Naruto's face disappeared and he was eager to train and learn from his friend.

  —-

  Several minutes after the real Daichi and Naruto left, the shadow es hiding outside entered his apartment. Almost an hour went by before Kiba and Shino showed and started helping Daichi.

  "So what exactly did you say to Naruto? How did you get him to stay in the forest?"

  At Kiba's question the Genin smirked. "I'm teag him a chakra trol teique. I figured training would keep him busy."

  "Oh man really? Maybe I should join you guys. There's no way I let that guy get ahead of me."

  Daichi shook his head at that. "This is a special trol teique that only someone like him would be from."

  Shino and Kiba stopped and looked at the Genin at that decration.

  Seeing their looks Daichi eborated. "The thing is Naruto has much greater chakra reserves than any of us. But still, he has problems with properly trolling his chakra and moving them through his coils. It's the reason he 't perform a det e."

  "So you're training him to help with the chakra flow in his body?" Shino asked.

  "Yeah. This particur trol skill is designed for people with rge chakra reserves. This teique uses the same principle as Tree walking but it's much more difficult. Naruto would have to use more chakra than the normal tree walking to learn this. If you guys try it, you'd be exhausted in a few hours."

  "I see." Kiba and Shino nodded in uanding a back to work.

  "Hey, when do you think the others will be ing by huh?" Kiba asked as he took out the trash.

  "Hm… Hinata told me her has a memorial servi the m. She'll only be able to join us after. She and Ino should be ing together with the decorations in about 3 or 4 hours." Daichi replied.

  "Based on our speed we'll be done in an hour. We go home, get ed up aurn here." Shino spoke.

  Shadow e Daiodded and they worked quickly ing the whole pce. Within a short time the three were doh their tasks.

  "Shino and I are gonna head bad get ed up. We'll pick up Ino, Shikamaru and Hinata ahe decorations on our way back."

  Daiodded to Kiba's suggestion and ohe two academy students left, the shadow e dispelled itself letting its creator know of the progress.

  —-

  "Why am I doing this again?" Naruto questioned as he tried to bance himself in one leg. He was standing on a small woodeh several smooth metal balls u. Naruto was trying his best not to lose bance.

  'Sometimes I think this kid has the memory of a goldfish' The Genin sighed for what seemed like the huh time, replied.

  "Chakra is the bination of physical aal energies. With tree walking teique you learo somewhat trol the chakra inside you. But this particur trol exercise allows your chakra to move through the chakra coils more easily and you would be able to use your jutsus much easier. The reason you couldn't properly use e jutsu is because you weren't perf the teique with the proper harmony of physical aal energies needed. With tree walking I'm sure you use that jutsu but with this, that trol is even more refihis exercise will help in improving your tration and strengthen your Yin chakra."

  To help Naruto train his chakra trol, Daichi raised a small portion of the earth a meter high with the top made ft and smooth. He put 9 small metal balls of the same size and pced them in a square position ahem ih his Chakra strings. Ohat was done he pced a wooden board on top of them and had Naruto stand on it.

  "Mainly ninjas learn Tree walking and Water walking teiques to improve their trol."

  "Wait! Water walking? You mean I'll be able to walk on water? That's awesome." Naruto was excited at the thought of that and the sed he lost trol and fell backwards to the ground.

  "Ow…"

  "You o stay focused, Naruto. You have to train till this bees sed nature to you. And this is only just the beginning of the exercise." Daichi said as he picked up the metal balls and wooden board. "Again."

  Daichi held them in pd Naruto got on top of the wooden board.

  Daichi spoke as he looked at his friend trying to bance himself. "You learhe Tree walking teique right. This is the same cept and application but much more difficult. You have to let your chakra flow from the sole of your feet and cover the wooden board and the metal balls uhe board. You o use your chakra and make them all stick together. When that happens it'll be as if you're standing on a solid surface."

  "Oh man this is really hard." Naruto said as he closed his eyes shut trying to trate.

  "Of course it is. But it will be worth it." Daichi stood back with his arms crossed as he looked at his friend.

  "You said this was the first step of this teique. What are the others?"

  "Once you learn to bance yourself on one leg you'll have to banother board aal balls on your hand oernative side. This will improve focus and boost your trol and chakra flow throughout your body by a rge margin."

  "Wait. You mean I have to hold another one in my hand while I'm standing like this?" Naruto was fbbergasted as he thought about that.

  "Yes. That's the sed step. It's a lot harder because you have to hold the board and not let the metal balls on top roll off it. Then an even more difficult part would be to hold a leaf of your forehead while you do all this." Daichi had a smirk on his face as he remembered the various trol exercises Tsunade and Shizuaught him during his time with them.

  "Huh! You're kidding me." Naruto groaned and the sed he lost his band hit the ground again.

  "Oh man. This is so tough." The blo up and rubbed his back to ease the dull pain.

  "Of course it is. This exercise, even though it uses the same principle as tree walking, is much more difficult. In tree walking there was nothiween the soles of your feet and the tree trunk. But here, you o focus your chakra on the wood, the smooth metal balls and the ft surface."

  Daichi looked at the boy and spoke. "Sometimes certain people would be uo make their chakra flow through their body properly or they would have an imbance of Yin and Yang chakra and this will hihem in perf simple jutsus. But this problem be overe with training."

  'It's also the reason why he couldn't use simple e jutsu or why he couldn't stick to the tree on his first time, despite having a rger reserve than Sasuke and could use hundreds of Shadow es.'

  The young Genin tinued. "This Chakra trol teique was created for people with rge amounts of chakra reserves but with poor body chakra flow."

  Naruto listeo every word Daichi said and paid close attention. "Wait. You're tellihat I got much more chakra than others but I 't use it properly?"

  "You use your chakra but not as effectively as others. But with just a few weeks of training this problem easily be fixed."

  The whiskered boy ched his fists and nodded. Now that he knew why couldn't make simple es and how to solve that issue, he was even more determio learn this exercise.

  'Maybe this will go faster if he has a training partner.' Daichi thought about it and decided to joiraining and motivate his friend.

  "It's b to just stand here and watch you fall on your ass." With that Daichi created a simir earth ptform. He took out two boards and got into position. At that time he used his Chakra Strings and took a leaf and pced it on his forehead.

  Naruto was in awe as Daichi perfectly banced himself on his left leg while he held a board with metal balls on his right hand. He was even more shocked to see him hold a leaf to his forehead and stand perfectly still.

  'He do all that and he doesn't even look like he's trying… If I keep pining, I'll never be as good as him.' The petitive spirit inside him burned with a fury and with a wide grin Naruto took his spot.

  Daichi used his strings to set up the boars in Naruto's earth ptform and the boy took his spot. He tried to bance himself on his left leg.

  "Hey, give me the sed board. I want to train while holding it." The blonde said, looking eager to jump ahead.

  "No. Not now. Oep at a time. You o learn to stand perfectly still before moving to the step. Rushing through this won't help you."

  Naruto nodded and listeo his friend.

  Daichi looked at the struggle his friend was having and spoke. "Calm down, Naruto. Close your eyes and listen to my voice."

  Naruto looked at Daichi and decided to do as he said. He closed his eyes and trated.

  Having his friend's attention on him, Daichi tinued. "trate on nothing but your chakra. Feel your energy. Feel the way it moves to the bottom of your feet."

  Daichi became silent as he gave the boy a couple minutes. He sehe way Naruto's chakra moved. 'It will take some time, but if he learn this he won't have any problem with water walking. He'll probably get it on his first try. And this will also solve the e problem. By the time Naruto's graduation es up, he'll be able to perform all 3 jutsus without any problems. Then Iruka will pass him and Mizuki won't get the ce… But thereihe problem. What would that guy do ? In he was most probably ting on Naruto to fail. But here… What will he do when Naruto passes? Since I already made ges and created ripple effects, how will things py out during his graduation.'

  Daichi realized that w about it now wouldn't help him and he focused on helping his friend. He tinued his instrus. "Coat the soles of your feet and then slowly increase the output of your chakra. Cover the wooden board and thehe metal balls. Use the right amount and make them stick to one spot."

  Sweat formed on Naruto's face as he trated oask. He was happy to have someone like Daichi help him and he was determio get stronger.

  What Daichi and Naruto didn't realize is that they had an observer watg them from afar.

  Author's Note:

  I wao give a reasonable excuse as to why Naruto wasn't able to perform e jutsu or his feet slid off the tree trunk when he first tired tree walkie having rger reserves than anyone. What do you guys think?
