Cloning jutsu!? That's it!? I was so surprised that Iruka-sensei would choose such a simple technique for us to begin with! But, hey, no complaints I guess.
It unnerved me a little that everyone had been flawless so far, but I knew I'd be ok. Right?
"Raijin, would you please come forward?" Iruka finally called me out. I wasn't really expecting to hear my name so soon, so I jumped a little in my seat having dozed off slightly.
Narumi turned her head a little and mouthed "Good luck" to me. I smiled back. Only the unprepared need luck! I waltzed to the front of the class and proudly said, "Sure thing Sensei! Anyone you want to see in particular?"
I could hear the slight groan he tried to hide under his breath, "Just choose someone, Raijin. Please."
Taking his advice, I cracked my knuckles, popped my neck, and started forming handsigns. Everything was perfect until I released just a little too little chakra...
Iruka-sensei gave me one of those "are you kidding me looks" and I could feel several other students doing the same. "Raijin," Iruka-sensei questioned, "who exactly are you supposed to be a clone of?"
Looking down I noticed that my somewhat muscular arms and legs had not changed in the process, but the rest of Narumi was there. I blushed and changed back, "Wait wait! Let me try again!" I guess over-confidence hurt me this time. I reformed my handsigns and successfully pulled off a clone of Iruka-sensei. I hope Narumi didn't take this personally. I mean, we were friends and all, so no harm done, right?
