An Unexpected Training Session

Naruto rubbed his forehead with one hand, trying to resist the urge to smack Uzumaki Qiao Feng right there. He marked a spot on the ground, preparing to follow Uzumaki Starrk's instructions and use his system props.

Meanwhile, Kakashi, who had been busy instructing the other two, glanced over at Naruto's direction and was immediately taken aback. The sight of Naruto's Shadow Clones, each dressed in a bizarre and flamboyant style, made him question reality for a moment.

What in the world is that kid doing now?

Why does he always manage to come up with something so... unique?

And seriously, who has Shadow Clones like this?

Remembering the last time Naruto's clone had appeared with a white cloth on its head, Kakashi could only sigh in resignation. Naruto's antics were becoming more unpredictable by the day.

Especially that clone with the twin ponytails...

Kakashi felt a cold shiver run down his spine.

There was no doubt about it. Naruto had definitely peeked at something he shouldn't have behind his back.

Otherwise, why would his clones transform into something like this?

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Sakura's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. She was glaring at him, her face red with frustration.

They had just started Genjutsu training, and not even halfway through, Kakashi had begun laughing at whatever ridiculousness was happening with Naruto.

Sakura sighed, feeling a deep sense of weariness. As much as she enjoyed being on a team with Sasuke, she seriously questioned whether she was the only normal one left.

She followed Kakashi's gaze to Naruto and almost fainted on the spot.

Sasuke, who had been practicing his lightning techniques, noticed the odd expressions on their faces and turned to see what had caught their attention. His eyes widened slightly when he saw the blonde girl with twin ponytails, and he muttered under his breath, "So big..."

Hearing that, he couldn't help but glance at Sakura, as if comparing.

Kakashi nodded in agreement with Sasuke's observation.

"Yeah... Only a man understands a man's heart."

Sasuke's words, delivered like a secret between guys, left Sakura stunned and on the verge of tears. Her fragile heart couldn't take much more of this.

"What are you two talking about?!" she shouted, her voice tinged with desperation. "Why did Naruto even create such a... a sexy clone?!"

After experiencing the strange relationship between Haru and Zabuza, Sakura had grown wary of Naruto. But who would have thought he would do something like this?

And the worst part was... Sasuke actually reacted to it!

Sasuke had never reacted to anything she did, but now, he had spoken up because of a clone that Naruto had made. Sakura felt like her world was crumbling.

"Sasuke! Kakashi-sensei! You promised to train me!!"

Her outburst finally brought them back to their senses. Kakashi rubbed his chin, trying to regain his composure, while Sasuke, after one last glance, returned to his practice.

But Sakura could tell he was still thinking about Naruto's clone. And that realization made her question everything.

If Naruto really tried to make a move on Sasuke, could she even stand a chance? No! She had to talk to Hinata as soon as they got back to the village. Surely, Hinata wouldn't want Naruto going after Sasuke, right?

After refocusing, Kakashi continued teaching Sakura the fundamentals of Genjutsu. Then, he had Sasuke practice climbing trees. As for himself...

Kakashi climbed back up to the treetop and took out his favorite book, Make-Out Paradise.

He knew he shouldn't, but the image of Naruto's clones kept popping up in his mind, and he couldn't resist the urge to read.

Kakashi felt a pang of guilt as he opened the book.

"Alright... Just this one time, and I'll quit tomorrow," he muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Naruto's clones were hard at work under Uzumaki Starrk's guidance, preparing the weapon Uzumaki Yasuo had requested.

"Do you think I should hold the sword in my mouth, too?" Uzumaki Yasuo joked, handing Naruto a sword with a glowing blue blade.

Naruto weighed it in his hand, murmuring, "This sword... It's the finest weapon in the world... The blade is three feet and seven inches, and it weighs exactly seven kilograms and thirteen taels. Truly a masterpiece!"

Uzumaki Yasuo rolled his eyes. "Seriously? You're doing this now? First, you complained about Uzumaki Qiao Feng, and now you're channeling Uzumaki Fubuki?"

Uzumaki Qiao Feng chimed in, "Yeah, it's getting old, Naruto."

Even Uzumaki Starrk added, "Man, none of your stats even make sense. Where's the scientific rigor, Naruto?"

Ignoring their complaints, Naruto examined the sword more closely. It was labeled as the "Sheathless Blade."

[Sheathless Blade]

Attack: 100

Sharpness: Level 3

Durability: Level 3

Soul-Bound: Uzumaki Naruto/Uzumaki Yasuo

Skills: Way of the Drifter, Steel Flash, Wind Barrier, Step Forward and Severe Wind Slash

Naruto was stunned by the sword's stats. It seemed powerful, but the listed skills gave him pause.

This isn't just any sword... Uzumaki Yasuo really does want to become the Hayate Swordsman of the ninja world!

Naruto handed the sword back to Uzumaki Yasuo and turned to Uzumaki Starrk, hoping for some clarification.

"Yeah, it's not surprising," Uzumaki Starrk explained nonchalantly. "You know the system's items adapt to this world's rules. I just infused some Wind Release Chakra into it, and voilà, instant skills."

"But... be careful when using these weapons..." Uzumaki Starrk began, only to be interrupted by Uzumaki Yasuo's dramatic outburst.

"Death is like the wind, always by my side!" Yasuo proclaimed, lowering his stance and unsheathing the sword in a blur of motion. A small hurricane erupted from the blade, blasting Uzumaki Qiao Feng off his feet, and Yasuo vanished into the air.

"Solie... it hurts..."

"Uzumaki Yasuo, you!" Qiao Feng yelled as the two clones clashed mid-air. They collided with a puff of smoke, dissipating into nothingness.

The Sheathless Blade clattered to the ground.

Uzumaki Starrk shrugged. "Yeah... not enough stamina to use those skills. They'll just die of exhaustion like those two did."

Naruto blinked, suddenly very aware of the potential danger. He was glad he hadn't tried using the Sword of World Domination himself. It might have been the end of him.

"Maybe if I eat something, I'll be fine?" Naruto suggested hesitantly, remembering how, as a child, he'd eaten all sorts of strange things in his sealed space. But bringing something like that out here...

He shuddered at the thought of accidentally killing himself.

It's like trying to take a godly elixir when you're not even close to ready.

"I guess there's only one way to find out," Uzumaki Naruko said, stepping forward with a playful grin, licking her lips suggestively. Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she extended a hand towards Naruto.

Naruto's face turned bright red, the situation quickly spiraling out of his control.
