A/N: I'm so, so, so sorry for how long I have taken to update, please don't kill me. If any information in this chapter is wrong please inform me so I can change it.
Just after Hagoromo left Naruto quickly checked over Thalia to make sure she was ok. Deciding everything was fine and no injury's had happened during their battle or the sealing Naruto unzipped his hoodie and took it off and unsealed the scroll. Opening the scroll Naruto noticed that he could only open it enough to see 6 columns and another seal on the scroll. The columns had one word at the top of each and Naruto understood what was going on. The words in order were Ninpō, Katon, Suiton, Fūton, Doton and Raiton. Seeing as the columns were for jutsu he assumed that the seal had the kenjutsu style in it.
Looking closer Naruto saw that the second thought to the sixth column only had one sentence in them 'required: Chakra control exercise tree walking' Naruto could only wonder how the scroll knew that he did not know that exercise and just put it to Hagoromo putting some sort of Jutsu on it. 'If the scroll knows what I know now does that mean it will change and update depending on my progress?' Naruto thought to himself, 'Only one way to find out' Naruto turned his attention back to the Ninpō column and began reading.
'Tree Walking- Tree walking is a basic control exercise to add certain amounts of chakra to only part of the body. In this exercise it will be the feet. Mastery of the exercise will allow a ninja to stick to solid surfaces and run along them. It will also allow a person the control necessary to do higher level jutsu without blowing yourself up.
To truly master the exercise you must be able to run upside down on a tree branch for 30 minutes straight doing the exercise without thinking about it.
Warning: Too much chakra will cause the user to blast off the tree, too little and the user will fall off.'
After reading the description of the exercise Naruto rolled up the scroll and resealed it and set to work. Going up to a nearby tree Naruto channelled Chakra to his feet and put a foot on the tree only to be blasted off of it. Doing a flip in mid air he landed on his feet, 'Ok, too much chakra let's try the bare minimum I can gather.' Naruto thought. Going back to the tree Naruto spend a minute trying to get the small amount he could and put his foot on the tree again, only for it to not stick and Naruto to slip and fall forward face first into the tree.
'This is going to take awhile.'
2 Hours Later
In the 2 hours he had trained Naruto had manage to get to about half way up the tree before his control would slip. Deciding to take a break Naruto looked up to the sky and decided it was around 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Deciding that he should get a fire going and get make something for dinner before it got dark. To help this process he called out one of the few jutsu he knew,
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" he had decided not to use the jutsu earlier because he wanted to start the training on his own. 10 clones puffed into existents "Alright 5 of continue doing the tree walking exercise, 2 of you gather firewood, 1 of you stay behind to make a pit for the fire and you 2 get something that we can have for dinner." Naruto ordered his clones; He had to remember to thank the old man for the jutsu. The Hokage decided to teach Naruto the Jutsu for two reasons which were that he had too much chakra for a normal clone and that he could use the jutsu to its full potential.
Naruto decided that now would be a good time to start reading the book he had gotten on Greek Mythology from Aphrodite, need to know your enemy right? Sitting down in front of a nearby tree he started reading with his Sharingan active so he could memorise the information easier. While he was reading he took glance at Thalia to make sure she was ok.
Three Days Later
Naruto had managed to read about three quarters of the book that covered the Major gods, Olympians, the currency used by the demi-gods, a basic guide to the underworld and some of the monsters (The book is about 300ish pages). He had reached the top of the tree but was still working on mastering the exercise.
Right now our favourite blonde hero had just woken up. The first thing he did was to go and check on Thalia to make sure that nothing had happened over night. After checking and making sure that everything was ok he decided to make some clones and told them to gather some food, water and firewood while he went off to the nearby river to clean himself.
Coming back to the clearing he started to cook breakfast when he heard groaning quickly turning around he saw that Thalia was slowly waking up. Rushing over he knelt down next to her and quickly helped the girl up. Opening her eyes the girl saw her blonde haired companion helping her up.
"How long was I out?" Thalia asked him.
"3 days" Naruto stated. Thalia looked at him slightly surprised for how long she was out. "How are you feeling anyway?" The boy asked with a small smile.
"I'm fine, just a bit drowsy." Thalia replied to his question. See looked around at where see was and saw see was still in the clearing that they were in before the sealing. She was then shocked at what see saw, see saw another Naruto coming into the clearing carrying a look of firewood. See looked between the two Naruto's for a couple of seconds before yelling, "What the hell? How is their two of you?"
"Keep it down Thalia do you want to attract monsters to us?" the blond asked rhetorically causing the Daughter of Zeus to shut up quickly. "This is one of the techniques that I learned before I came here. It's called 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu' or as you would say it Shadow Clone Technique, It allows me to me to make solid clones of me to help in fights, training or just generally helping with small tasks."
"Can you teach me that jutsu?" Thalia asked hopefully her fatal flaw acting up causing her lust for power to grow.
"No" The blond stated simply.
"But why not?" Thalia asked with a hint of anger at not being able to learn the technique.
"A few reasons. First you don't have the Chakra to make one clone yet. If you were to try the technique would kill you. Second, you have no ninja training at all and you need the basics before trying higher level techniques. Lastly, I will not give you any dangerous techniques till you have proven you can control your fatal flaw." Naruto listed off the reasons for not teaching Thalia the technique. The last one because of what he had been told while having a talk with Kurama during the time Thalia was unconscious.
"Fine" The black haired preteen huffed.
"Ok now before we leave I am going to help you learn a few things."
"Really?" Thalia asked happily having heard Naruto's statement.
"Yep, I'm going to teach you how to fight hand to hand on a basic level and how to climb trees." Naruto said as he turned towards a tree.
"But I already know how to climb trees and how would that even help me?" Thalia questioned the blond.
"Ah, but do you know how to climb trees like this." Naruto said as he walked towards the tree and put his foot on it before walking straight up the tree.
"So cool," Thalia breathed.
"Now let's begin your training." Naruto said with a smile.
A/N: Ok small chapter but I want to put a chapter out and next chapter will be longer at least 2k words. There wasn't really much to write about and next time we continue on the journey towards Camp Half-Blood.
