Chapter 020

"Kage Bushin No Jutsu!" The pair paused when Naruto shouted and turned around to see around fifty clones puff into existence. Konohamaru looked at all of the copies with wide eyes.

"Come on! Why don't you pick on someone your own size!" one of the clones shouted.

"Oh wait I guess you were doing that!" another clone said.

"Well maybe you can pick on someone bigger the you!" another spoke up.

Ebisu sneered at the clones as he let go of Konohamaru, and walked into the group of Naruto's.

"I'm not impressed! I am a Jonin, an Elite ninja! Not some light weight like Mizuki!" Ebisu pushed up his glasses andgave an arrogant smirk. "Yes, I heard of your run in with Mizuki! And for someone who was pushed away by their own sensei, you have no right to lecture me, up start! Now, watch closely Honorable Grandson, and see how a real ninja fights!"

Konohamaru looked back and forth between Ebisu and the group of Naruto's, not sure what to do, but praying that Naruto could win.

Sarutobi sat down in his spying room, Iruka had visited him a little while ago and they had just finished a discussion about Naruto, and he was now watching the events on his spy orb.

Naruto may have been fortunate against Mizuki, but this is most likely out of his league. Sarutobi frowned as he put his pipe in his mouth.

Ebisu better be smart enough not to hurt him too badly, especially in front of Konohamaru-kun. And I think I'll need to talk to him about his attitude problem…

Ebisu stood in the middle of the formation of Naruto's with a cocky smirk in place. This kid didn't honestly think that a technique like this would be enough to beat him, and elite, did he?

"Well?" he asked with a sneer and cocky tone.

All the Naruto's grinned before putting their hands up in a hand seal. "Oiroke No Jutsu!" all fifty something clones shouted, surrounding the area in smoke.

When the smoke dissipated, Ebisu was assaulted by fifty very hot and very naked blond girls, all of whom began grabbing at him. They began pressing and rubbing themselves against the now shock still jonin while whispered seductively into his ear, but all of their words were lost as the feeling of their breasts and legs and… other parts pressing against the jonin became too much. Ebisu shuddered, before being thrown out of the group of girls by the geyser that was his nose, shooting blood as he flew into the air.

Naruto grinned as he saw the now completely unresponsive jonin twitching on the ground a few feet away. A puff of smoke later, and all the clones dispelled.

Turning to his shorter companion Naruto grinned. "And that is what I like to call H'rem No Jutsu (Harem Jutsu)."

"SUGOI!" Konohamaru shouted, pumping a fist in the air.

Sarutobi watched the vents that transpired with a shocked look.

Naruto seems to have gained quite the dangerous skill. Sarutobi thought. Combining his Oiroke No Jutsu with the Kage Bushin No Jutsu is a dangerous combination… I don't know if even I could survive that. He reached out and grabbed a tissue, dabbing away at his now bloody nose.

Naruto looked at the still twitching Ebisu, satisfied that he wasn't going to be getting up any time soon the blond walked back over to Konohamaru.

"Aw man! I couldn't even get four-eyes-sensei to fall for the jutsu! I want to be Hokage so badly, but I keep messing up! Why can't I do it!" Konohamaru grabbed at his hair in indignation.

"Because becoming Hokage isn't easy," Naruto said. "You want to be at the top right now, to be Hokage as soon as possible so people will see you for you. I know how you feel, until… recent circumstances I was the same way. But the fact is being Hokage is a long and hard rode. You can't just become Hokage because you want to. It takes dedication, skill, hard work. You have to be willing to bleed, and cry, and sweat in order to be the strongest shinobi you can. You have to train both mind and body. But most importantly you have to be willing to risk your life for the sake of this village and its people. And also," Naruto looked at Konohamaru with a serious expression, causing the younger male to gulp. "You have to remember the most important truth about how to become Hokage."

"Oh yeah!" Konohamaru shouted as he puffed out his chest. "What truth is that!"

"That there are 'no' shortcuts to becoming Hokage." Naruto said, his eyes taking on a fierce and determined look. "By trying to take the easy path you limit yourself, you weaken yourself, because you weren't willing to take the harder road. Weren't willing to train until you dropped, or work until you felt all of your muscles straining against each other. No ninja in this village would respect a Hokage who took the easy way out of everything, sometimes Hokage's have to make hard choices and deal with the consequences of those choices. It takes a kind of commitment that very few people have, and those who don't have it need to get out of the way for those who do."

Naruto stared at Konohamaru, the boy a little red in the face and looked like his eyes were on the brink of turning into swirls. He was trying to come to terms with all of the information he had just received and felt completely overwhelmed. However, one of the things Naruto had said rang through his mind.

Besides if you're going to be Hokage, you're going to have to defeat me first!

Konohamaru turned away from Naruto and stuck his nose up.

"Who do you think you are? Lecturing me like that!" Naruto smirked a bit at Konohamaru's reaction. "That's it! I won't be your apprentice any longer! From now on we're rivals! Got it!"

Naruto just gave the kid a grin. "Well that's cool. This was a one-time deal anyway, because I'm getting assigned to my Jonin sensei tomorrow. However…" Naruto's grin widened, stretching the whisker marks and making him look like a fox. "I accept your challenge to be my rival. But keep this in mind, you're going to have a lot of catching up to do if you want to be at my level. You're going to have to train hard if you want to even think of competing against me for the title of Hokage." Naruto looked at the sun and sighed, he had just wasted a whole day training a kid.
