Multiple Shadow Clone
Chapter 4: Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu
"Shenmu, is this something you figured out on your own?!"
Iruka widened his eyes in astonishment.
"Yeah."
Shenmu looked confused.
"Moreover, I discovered that investing more chakra into the sealing of this clone technique can create a large number of tangible clones."
Saying this, Shenmu performed the hand seals again.
"Whoosh, Whoosh Whoosh..."
In an instant, the entire classroom was filled with Shinboku's clones!
Rough estimate.
There were several hundred of them!!
The entire class fell into silence!
Iruka: (°Д°≡°Д°)!!
So many clones!
Is this... could this be the forbidden jutsu developed by the Second Hokage!
A-level ninjutsu with extremely high learning and usage difficulty!
The Art of Multiple Shadow Clones!
The legendary forbidden jutsu!
Shenmu learned it just by experimenting on his own?!
More importantly, his own chakra level could actually support the creation of so many clones!
Sweat dripped from Iruka's forehead.
What he witnessed today overturned all his ninjutsu teaching experience for the past few decades!
He had taught for many years and had seen students with high comprehension skills, but the best ones only learned quickly by the book.
To self-learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu was a one-in-a-million chance!
And to use the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu based on the Shadow Clone Jutsu with a massive chakra supply was unprecedented!
Iruka now realized, Shenmu is a genius!
An extraordinary genius!
The future pillar of Konoha!
A source of hope!
"Teacher, is this not enough?"
Shenmu carefully observed Iruka's expression.
Seeing the teacher's dazed look, it seemed he was not entirely satisfied with the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Shenmu sighed. (Boy stop lmaooo...)
It's really tough being a ninja.
Even this doesn't meet the qualifying standard.
Shenmu tentatively said, "Teacher, actually, last night, following your advice, I discovered that using different chakra attributes and hand seals can create clones using other mediums..."
"W-what?"
Iruka stuttered.
"How about... you show me?"
Iruka's pupils enlarged, then he forcefully calmed himself down.
He wanted to see what else Shenmu had figured out.
The Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu has already been demonstrated.
Could it be that you, a little elementary ninja school student, can use chakra attributes to create corresponding clones?
Don't be ridiculous.
Next moment.
Iruka's expression froze!
The entire class's expressions also froze at that moment!
Shenmu just did something incredible!
Rock Lee rubbed his eyes, fearing he might be mistaken.
Shenmu just... seemed to have used a Water Style clone!
Wait, and now he used an Earth Style clone!
And even a Lightning Style?!
┏(゜ロ゜;)┛
Did they teach this stuff at ninja school?!
Where did you secretly practice this, hey!
Isn't this breaking the rules!
We can't even comprehend regular Shadow Clones now.
And you, little guy, are already able to create clones with multiple attributes!
Sasuke, making the same motion as Rock Lee, couldn't believe his eyes.
∑(o_o;)
Uchiha Sasuke, the last of the Uchiha clan in Konoha, possessed the Sharingan and exceptional learning aptitude.
From enrollment until now, he had always been the admired figure among his peers.
But today, for the first time, he encountered a genius even more exceptional than himself!
This person's comprehension is completely out of bounds!
Iruka beside him: (oДo*)
Really!
He really did it!
Shenmu just performed the hand seals.
And successively created Water Style, Earth Style, and Lightning Style clones...
Oh my god!
The child's awakening is too terrifying!
This... this...
This can no longer be described as genius!
A sage!
Iruka, holding his forehead, tried to calm himself down.
Shenmu, seeing Iruka's reaction, thought the teacher was still not satisfied with his performance and said, "Teacher, I also found that I can combine the Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu together..."
Shenmu excitement was met with Iruka's gesture to pause.
Iruka displayed a weathered expression, as if life had taken its toll: (:d)∠)
"Shenmu, there's no need to showcase more. The teacher needs some time to digest."
"Okay." Shenmu felt a bit disheartened.
Is it still not enough?
Last night, he was a bit excited when he grasped the Shadow Clone and these multi-attribute clones.
He thought it would make his classmates and teacher look at him differently.
Now, judging by Iruka's expression, it seems he might not even meet the passing grade...
Sigh~It's tough for outsiders to learn ninjutsu, indeed.
In the end, the class in which Shenmu was enrolled had its curriculum temporarily canceled.
Iruka didn't offer much explanation, only mentioning that he had some matters to attend to.
And Shenmu noticed when Iruka left, he cast a deep look at him. The gaze was extremely complex.
Seemingly mixed with some disappointment.
Could it be that Iruka thinks he's not cut out for practicing ninjutsu, so he plans to report to the Hokage and have him expelled?!
While Shenmu was lost in these thoughts, Naruto, who was beside him, patted his shoulder.
"Shenmu, that sequence of clones you just released was amazing."
Naruto sincerely said.
"But it seems like Iruka-sensei is not satisfied."Shenmu replied lacklusterly.
Shenmu's knowledge of Naruto was limited to a few well-known figures. As for the composition of ninjutsu, he knew very little.
So, he treated Naruto's comforting words as a friend trying to console him.
"It's okay, Shenmu. If Iruka-sensei is not satisfied, then continue to work hard until he is satisfied."
Naruto, like a little sun, comforted Shenmu.
"Alright!" Shenmu clenched his fist, grateful for Naruto's words.
"Thank you, Naruto."
In one night, he learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu, making up for the years he had fallen behind. This shows that he is not beyond redemption. As long as he continues to work hard, he will eventually gain the teacher's recognition and successfully graduate!...
At this moment.
"Achoo!"
In the Hokage's office, Iruka sneezed."Iruka, have you caught a cold recently?"
The Third Hokage asked casually.
Iruka waved his hand: "It's nothing, just felt a bit itchy in my nose. Hokage-sama, I have something very important to report to you!"
"Is it about that kid, Shenmu?"
The Third Hokage, seemingly indifferent, flipped through the documents in his hand.The matter of Shinboku mastering the Multiple Shadow Clone and Multi-attribute clone technique.
"You already know. As expected, everything in Konoha Village cannot escape your eyes."
Iruka said sadly after recovering from the shock caused by Shenmu.
The Third Hokage raised his head, his eyes fell on Iruka, and he expressed admiration: "Iruka, you are a good teacher, and you taught a genius."
"It's all due to Shenmu's own efforts. I didn't help much."
Iruka said modestly.
Continuing, the Third Hokage casually asked, "As Shenmu's teacher, how do you view his actions?"
Iruka spoke earnestly, "Shenmu's been a very diligent student since he enrolled. The manifestation of such divine talent this time left me astonished and, at the same time, happy for the kid..."
Setting aside the documents, the Third Hokage provided his analysis, "Honestly, after years of studying ninjutsu, I maintain a skeptical attitude towards the idea of overnight success."
"To say he understood it overnight would be more accurate to say that Shenmu has been comprehending these techniques over the years, just not revealing them."
"And today, he displayed all of it at once."
"Of course, being able to learn Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and Multiple Attribute Clone Jutsu in four or five years is the genius among geniuses!"
Iruka nodded in agreement, "So, in other words, Shenmu not only has extraordinary talent but also has a good character, silently enduring all these years..."
The Third Hokage stood up from his seat, walked to the window of the Hokage's office, and looked towards the direction of the Ninja Academy, saying, "Yes, this kid is truly something to look forward to."
After exchanging their views on Shenmu, the Third Hokage and Iruka began discussing the future direction of Shenmu's education.
"Iruka, in your opinion, what is the most important thing for a genius?"
The Third Hokage asked with a serious tone.
