~Jacob's Pov~

'I'm finally back home...' I knew I was being monitored a bit, but for it to be to this extent was, mildly concerning but not unexpected... Having memories of former anbu members, I practically have a complete layout of the village, and most of it's passages. I even knew paths that other members were least likely to take, yet it still wasn't easy, not by a long shot.
'It was all worth it, because I have his blood...' I took a nip of Naruto's blood earlier, which was a wise choice on my end, and through that exchange, I've managed to give his body new genetic information, though, it will take time for it to be fully assimilated, likely a couple more days, or more...
But at the very least, with part of me in Naruto, I can know his condition and his where abouts at all time. Though.
Having his blood in me... What will I gain? Naruto was easily a cut above the rest, and knowing how strong he could get, my strength will reach heights I likely can't even fathom... But, that's the exciting part about it all.
Just by instinct alone, I knew that this would change everything about how I would go forward in this world...
I didn't waste any time. I quickly shut my door behind me and began accepting his DNA, merging it with mine.

'Urgh...I still can't get used to this...'
That warm sensation that caresses me gently, fueling me. I could feel my muscle density increasing a bit, my nerve endings tingling, my chakra feeling as if it was boiling hot magma.
The change wasn't hurting me, maybe I'm getting sued to it... In fact, it feels as if it was messaging me instead. Slowly, the creaks in my bones had stopped persisting...

This was... A lot...
'It's all, massive... Was Naruto's limits really that much higher compared to everyone else's?'
I realized that both of my speed limits had entered the speed of light ranges, and my strength had went into the Tera-Ton range, I hadn't had a clue as to how high an actual Tera-Ton really was...
But, my instincts are telling me that it was pretty high up there, not to mention my new abilities too. I quickly looked at my new passive abilities...
'Naruto gains chakra 10 times easier than a normal person? Pair that with the nine-tails, and you'll get someone with practically infinite chakra...' No wonder people were wowed by his capacity. It's honestly ridiculous.
Not to mention my toughness limit, this had risen sharply. His blood is practically invaluable, but, to be honest, I was only absorbing civilians with really high potential, not bloodline limit persons. But, at least this explains why they were much more powerful than the norm...
'Now everything looks off again...' I could see another type of chakra in the air surrounding me. It was like a multitude of all the other colors combined into one, but, it felt much more denser than the rest of them all.
If I had to actually put a number on it, maybe a dozen, or more times more potent than the chakra I'm used to seeing and sensing...
'Is this, nature's energy?' It could be, now I had a natural affinity towards it, but, it felt, familiar to me before all this, maybe having all element affinity gave a me a pseudo affinity towards it.
'Seems like I'll have to do more research on nature energy in the future.'
Still, this was a bit much for me right now, too many things were opened up to me. My Talent value had increased, my perception to chakra and lastly, my limits...
First, I have all night. I'll train and see where I end up tomorrow, 6 hours of physical training and another six for meditation with my seals on... I'll see how much chakra I'll end up with by morning...

~ Third person Pov, 1 Week Later... ~

*Fwoosh!*
"Hah!"
"Heh!!"
Deep in the forest, two men could be seen clashing with one another. With both looking the exact same. This, was Jacob, shirtless with his clone, training both his reflexes and reaction time...
"I'm quite the annoying bugger, aren't I?" Jacob chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he continued to dance around his clone effortlessly. The forest echoed with the sound of their movements clashing with each other, leaves crunching under their feet and the occasional clash of fists meeting in mid-air...
"You could say that." the clone replied with a sly grin, mirroring Jacob's movements effortlessly. It was as if the two were connected by an invisible thread, anticipating each other's every action.
Their training session intensified, the air crackling with small shockwaves from each punch or kick, as they executed a series of acrobatic flips and spins. Jacob's agile movements were matched by his clone's uncanny precision.
Through the past week, he had realized that his clones had varied ways of thinking, and he could tell through how they faught alone. Sometimes, he genuinely surprised himself when he sparred...
'So this is how I fight... No matter what I do, my other half always copies it perfectly with ludicrous efficiency... If it were any other person, they'd probably call me a monster.' The original thought with finality. He had a firm grasp on how his clones behaved.
Both of their movements seemed robotic, and terrifyingly efficient in execution, and not a piece of wasted movement from either side.
"Alright, Let's take this up a notch!" The clone shouted. He quickly weaved the signs for the body-flicker, 'What is he trying?' The original Jacob thought, however, he had a bad feeling wash over him...
In the next instant, he saw his clone disappear completely...
.
.
.
*Fwish-*
*BAM!!*
"GEAHH!!!"
The original soared through the air, propelled into the trees by the forceful kick.
'What the hell was that?' Jacob peered in the direction of his clone, his hand gently massaging his chin, a telltale sign of the lingering pain. Despite the discomfort, he swiftly regained his footing, keenly recognizing the familiar movements of his duplicate.
'He... He executed the invisible-attack/(I.A) technique, coupled with the body-flicker? That's... Ingenious...' Jacob marveled at his own strategic fusion of the clone's attacks and Jutsu, a tactic he hadn't considered before. The body flicker, a skill that exponentially heightened one's speed, paired with the I.A, formed an practically foolproof combo...
However, he discerned that his clone had slightly missed the mark, understanding the challenges that simple addition likely involved, especially considering it was the clone's inaugural attempt.
Moreover, striking that precisely within such a brief timeframe was likely a near improbable challenge. Nonetheless, the creativity it displayed was truly impressive, at least to him...
'If that kick had landed properly... I would have been knocked out earlier...'
"Sensei!!"
Both Jacobs turned around looking in the direction of the sound, then they quickly looked at each other, the clone smiled, before disappearing out of existence, leaving only smoke...
"Sensei!!!"
"... Naruto? What's wrong?" Jacob looked towards his little friend, he didn't want the Naruto to call him sensei either, he had felt... Old when he did...
"I've got great news! I'm finally gonna get my first mission!" Naruto exclaimed loudly. Jacob could hear genuine happiness from Naruto's voice.
'That... makes sense, he kept telling me he was doing cat-catching, and gardening missions for the week, straight at that.' Jacob just chuckled under his breath, happy to see that Naruto was so excited.
"I'm, glad Naruto, really, I am... But, could you quite calling me, sensei?"
"What do you mean? Why?" Naruto stopped jumping in the air.
"I just feel really old when you call me that. Plus, I'm not much older than you are, in fact, I'm barely even 18 years old myself..."
"..."
"Naruto?" Jacob looked at his little friend, that now had his mouth wide open...
"Y-You're... 18!!!" Naruto shouted. Jacob, only laughed a bit.
