The Beginning Of Naruto's Epic Backslide!

With a smirk after accepting the challenge from Konohamaru, Naruto felt confident in his skills that he could take Konohamaru, after all, after only three years, there's no way that Konohamaru was able to grow in skills so fast that he could actually take him down...

So he soon faced off against Konohamaru to get a little bit of a breath in after the training exercise with Sakura and Kakashi, Naruto feeling ready to go as he soon started out with Shadow Clone Jutsu to get some numbers in on Konohamaru, eager to win this quickly, only to be surprised with Konohamaru did Shadow Clone Jutsu as well, managing to make even more clones than Naruto had made just now...

Feeling a bit stunned by this, Naruto's eyes widened as he and his clones stood there, flabbergasted by this, was this even real? Could Konohamaru even make this many clones and still stand up ready to fight?

Naruto quickly tried to use Kai to break a supposed illusion but no, Konohamaru's clones were real as was Konohamaru still standing up with energy to burn before Konohamaru's clones were the ones on the offensive quickly crashing into Naruto's as well, quickly dispelling them as they seemed to dart around their defenses as they quickly managed to burst them down with speed that Naruto wasn't expecting from the kid...

With how quickly things were going, Naruto soon found himself out of clones but had to shake that off quickly as he ran right into what he thought was the real Konohamaru, trying to fight them with his taijutsu only to have 'Konohamaru' dodge all of his blows effortlessly right until Naruto got the final blow in to which 'Konohamaru' blocked before smirking and dispelling to reveal Konohamaru away from him, charging up a Rasengan with only one hand and no clone helping him as Naruto's jaw dropped to the floor...

Konohamaru soon smiled and said, "Shocked? Trust me I was too at seeing how little you've grown in comparison to me at that training exercise earlier! And once I'm done with you, you'll understand just where we really stand as well!"

Naruto stood defiant and said, "There's no way you could handle that properly!" as Konohamaru smirked and amped up the size of the Rasengan making Naruto slip over his own feet in shock at seeing that before Konohamaru soon dashed forward into Naruto and shouted out, "Odama Rasengan!!!" before pushing himself and the giant Rasengan right into Naruto...

With Naruto screaming out in pain as the Rasengan hurt bad all over, shredding his clothes save for his forehead protector and the underwear he had been wearing underneath his new outfit...And as he was aiming to try to get some laundry done after the training exercise so he was wearing a pair of underwear that he only wore in case of running out of other pairs, which in this case was a pair of little kid style underoos with bright blue trim and piping, decorated after a popular little kid show popular throughout the Elemental Nations about a group of kid ninja pirates around a mystical island chain...

When the chakra from the Rasengan faded and Naruto was left lying in a heap with nothing but his forehead protector and underoos on, Konohamaru couldn't help but giggle and laugh to himself as Naruto was clearly out of it now and at the ridiculous underoos that Naruto was wearing...

Getting out the Essence Transference Jutsu Seal out Konohamaru mused to himself, "That was easier than I even thought it was going to be, I thought you were gonna have more fight in you, but now it looks like it's time to seal you up and establish a new order between us!" before soon taking the Seal and soon following the instructions placed the seal on Naruto, the main one on his belly and additional seals on Naruto's neck, arms and legs, before soon taking the receiver seal array and soon putting that array on himself in the same places where he put it on Naruto, main one on his belly and additional seal on his own neck, arms and legs as well before soon gathering his chakra...

Running right through all of the handsigns that would start the jutsu, Konohamaru soon completed it with the Tiger handsign and said, "Essence Transference Jutsu!" and soon enough the seals between them were linked up...Now Naruto's essence, strength and chakra capacity were becoming Konohamaru's...

It wasn't complete just yet, as Naruto had quite the bit of chakra and strength to transfer over but Konohamaru was smiling as he could already feel the effects of the seal array on him and Naruto...Saying, "Wow, this is really awesome!" stretching out and running through some katas and jutsu just because he could as he was really liking this...

Before soon turning his eyes back to Naruto and noted that the array was consistently glowing at some rate, that was the downside of the Essence Transference Jutsu, it wasn't that stealthy, as it was constantly draining away chakra and strength, it was always active so Konohamaru was going to need to cover up the fact that he used this on Naruto in some way...But for now, he had to get some things straight with Naruto...

So, he soon began to think of how exactly he was going to handle this...The added strength was great but he could speed things along if Naruto was as headstrong to want to get back at Konohamaru, then essentially laying out a challenge for Naruto should speed up the drain on him, he would challenge Naruto to a best of 5 prank or battle series that if Naruto lost, he would have to publically declare that Konohamaru was his Boss now and that Konohamaru could do whatever with him he wanted...

He could just see Naruto bowing before him, beaten up after a match and covered in the aftermath of a prank backfire calling him boss in front of the entire village before mandating that Naruto give up his place as a Genin and return back to the Academy to learn from the beginning, that was a good idea...

However, he could also just lay it down on Naruto that Konohamaru was his Boss now, right here and now, make Naruto submit to him right here and now, before laying down the law, it wouldn't give him nearly the amount of chakra and strength now than if he prolonged it but Konohamaru strong as he was, was still a kid and prone to impatience sometime, perhaps he wanted Naruto to call him Boss right now instead of waiting for it...

Those ideas and more circled around Konohamaru's head, as Konohamaru sighed and said, "Decisions, decisions, what to do you with you Naruto?" sitting down and waiting for Naruto to come to after the knock out after their battle, Konohamaru waited to make his decision and once Naruto finally woke up after his beating, broke the news to Naruto exactly what he wanted to do...
