The next morning, Naruto woke up from his sleep.
Looking at the Shadow Clone that had disappeared beside him, he felt an emptiness in his heart, a void and loneliness that seemed to seize his heart like a monster… The suffocating solitude he had once grown accustomed to now surged back like a tide, threatening to completely engulf Naruto… He hastily used the Shadow Clone Technique again, and his Shadow Clone reappeared, allowing Naruto to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Good morning!"
Naruto smiled brightly, and the Shadow Clone Naruto also waved at him.
"Morning!"
Naruto immediately broke into a happy smile.
Perhaps all he needed was someone to greet him with such a simple salutation when he woke up in the morning…
"Alright, you continue your training, I'll make breakfast!"
"OK!"
Naruto chuckled, skillfully preparing breakfast, while his Shadow Clone continued to practice the Chakra Refining Technique, and even… the Shadow Clone Technique itself!
That's right, Naruto was dumbfounded to discover that his Shadow Clone had actually created another new Shadow Clone!
"Th-this is…"
Chapter 48: This is the real cheat! Please give me a monthly pass!!!
Naruto was stunned.
His Shadow Clone could also create Shadow Clones?!
It seems the ability of this physical clone is even stronger than he imagined…
However, the Shadow Clone of the Shadow Clone didn't seem as powerful.
Although it was also training, it couldn't last for much time and soon dissolved into a puff of white smoke, disappearing.
But at this moment… Naruto's main body suddenly felt a new power.
"Hmm? This is…"
"I wasn't even training, but my Chakra reserves seem to have increased a little…"
"C-could it be…"
Naruto realized a shocking secret!
"Does the training of a physical clone return to my body after it dissipates?!"
"If that's the case…"
Naruto was both shocked and ecstatic!
If a physical clone has such an effect, doesn't that mean he gets double or even more times the training efficiency?!
This is the real cheat!
"This is great!"
At this moment, Naruto already saw his brilliant future, boundless prospects!
"Good! Today, I'll work hard with my Shadow Clone and strive for an improvement several times greater than usual!"
He finished making breakfast and was ready to start immediately after eating.
But the Shadow Clone Naruto also immediately stopped and came to the table to eat.
"Huh? You need to eat too?!"
"Of course! Without food, where would I get the energy to train?!"
"…That's true…"
Although that was the case, Naruto secretly decided that tomorrow he would activate the physical clone after eating… Otherwise, the food he made wouldn't be enough for both of them… Soon, the two devoured their breakfast, leaving nothing behind.
Then, the system's prompt sounded at the opportune moment.
"School time is here! Host, please arrive at the Ninja Academy by doing a weighted handstand within five minutes!"
"Failure to comply will result in a Lightning Release baptism from the system!"
Naruto: "…What?!"
"F-five minutes?!"
He usually took at least ten minutes to get to school doing a weighted handstand!
This System-bro had directly cut his time in half!
The Shadow Clone Naruto also sighed.
"Hurry up! Arguing with him is useless! It's better to hurry and go!"
"Y-you're right…"
Naruto and the Shadow Clone Naruto immediately did weighted handstands, gritting their teeth, and rushed desperately towards the Ninja Academy.
Along the way, pedestrians pointed and discussed animatedly.
"Wh-what is that?!"
"Two Ni… two kids?!"
"What's going on…"
Ordinary villagers naturally didn't understand what this meant.
However, the Ninja of Konoha Village were equally dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
"That is…"
"The Shadow Clone Technique?!"
"How is that possible? A child from the Ninja Academy, and Uzumaki Naruto, that Diao Che Wei, how could he master such a high-level Ninjutsu?!"
"Am I under a Genjutsu?!"
"Quick, wake me up!"
Naruto ignored everyone; the Lightning Release baptism used to force him to do things, but now it had upgraded, directly setting a time limit, and if he failed, he would be struck!
He wished he had two more hands, gritting his teeth and sprinting desperately…
Uchiha Sasuke's face was a little pale.
But a faint hint of joy appeared in his eyebrows.
This was quite rare for him.
"My efforts all this time haven't been in vain, especially…"
"After being provoked by that Diao Che Wei, I worked ten times harder…"
"I finally mastered the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, so now, in the entire Ninja Academy, who can stand against me?!"
"Hmph, that Diao Che Wei is even less likely!"
However, at this moment.
Two Uzumaki Naruto, doing weighted handstands, swept past Sasuke like two streaks of smoke.
"Cough cough…"
The stirred-up dust made Sasuke cough.
But what shocked him more was…
"Th-that's… two Naruto?!"
"What's going on…"
"Is it the Clone Technique? No, impossible, the Clone Technique is just a virtual image, it only serves to lure the enemy, it has no physical form, let alone training or fighting!"
"Could it be… a higher-level Shadow Clone?!"
"No, impossible, that's a Ninjutsu that only Chunin or even Jonin can master, how could that Diao Che Wei…"
However, the facts were right before his eyes.
Sasuke's eyes widened, and that trace of joy he had just felt vanished instantly… He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and immediately sped up, chasing after the two Naruto!
Not just Sasuke… all the teachers and students of the entire Ninja Academy witnessed this incredible scene, and for a moment, everyone was shocked and stunned, hardly believing their eyes…
Ino and Hinata's eyes widened.
"Th-that's Naruto's…"
"Two… two Naruto-kun?!"
Sakura Haruno also rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
And at this moment, Iruka-sensei finally arrived.
"Naruto, you, what are you doing…"
Hearing this voice, Naruto realized that he had finally arrived at school on time.
He was panting, unable to utter a single word.
"Iru… cough cough…"
And the Shadow Clone beside him finally reached its limit, disappearing with a pop.
Naruto instantly felt… not just double the training results, but also double the fatigue and pain!
He cried out, almost fainting directly.
Iruka-sensei was greatly alarmed, quickly grabbed Naruto, and rushed towards the office.
Fortunately, Naruto was only overly fatigued and not seriously injured, and he soon woke up.
"Naruto?"
"What were you doing? You scared me to death!"
Naruto finally recovered, and couldn't help but say with lingering fear.
"It seems this new Ninjutsu is quite risky…"
"New Ninjutsu, are you talking about the Shadow Clone?!"
"Naruto, who taught you such an advanced Ninjutsu?!"
"This is far beyond the level of the Ninja Academy…"
Naruto said proudly: "Hehehe, Iruka-sensei, no one taught me, this is a Jutsu I created and invented myself, far surpassing the ordinary Clone Technique, it's a physical clone that can talk, train, and even fight!"
Iruka was utterly shocked, as if he had seen a ghost.
"You, you said you created it yourself…"
"Yes!"
Iruka-sensei still found it hard to believe, but Naruto's eyes didn't seem to be lying.
"How about it, am I not a true genius?!"
