Chapter 14 The Art of Shadow Clone

The sky was slightly bright, facing the sunrise, Kakumu climbed out of bed early.

When I went out, I found that my father had already gone out. Maybe he had some mission.

Ninjas are really nervous when they go on a mission. Kazuoki shook his head and sighed. And now that he has become a member of the ninja, he will probably be so busy in the future.

The passionate, funny and touching plots in anime only capture a corner of the protagonist's life. This kind of life now should be the norm for ninjas.

As usual, Kakugi started his daily long run.

He did not exercise to the limit of his body every day like Metkay did. Instead, he exercised his body appropriately and developed his strength and physical fitness in a balanced way.

After all, he is not just a ninja with taijutsu, his goal is the comprehensive development of ninja taijutsu.

It is said that the last time he competed with Metkai, he only had taijutsu moves such as Konoha's Great Whirlwind, and had not learned the Eight Gate Dungeon.

It may be that Materdai believed that his body was not strong enough to open the door and did not teach him, or that he had not succeeded in cultivation.

I haven’t seen him for a few days, and I don’t know how Metkai is doing now.

As he was running and thinking like this, two oncoming figures gradually appeared in Kakugi's field of vision.

This pair of green leather tights, one big and one small, shouted the slogan "Youth, Hot Blood" while running. It was so dazzling that it could blind many eyes.

People who were blinded by flashes on both sides of the road spit out the fragrance:

"Why are you shouting so loudly? Do you have any sense of public morality? My neighbors don't have to sleep so early in the morning? They have to go to work today!"

In response to such noises, Matt Dai gave a thumbs up and flashed his white teeth: "Thank you for your support!"

"Kai!" Kadomu ignored the noise around him and stepped forward excitedly, greeting him warmly.

At the same time, he politely said hello to Matt Dai. Since Tsunoki started running in the morning, he has met the father and son every day, and gradually became familiar with Matt Dai.

Just looking at it today, Metkai's condition seemed a little bad.

"Oh! It turns out to be Kazuoki! I heard from Kai that you graduated early, congratulations! Sure enough, youth has unlimited possibilities!"

Matt Dai raised his thumb and smiled.

Matt Dai turned to look at his son beside him, with hot flames bursting out of his eyes:

"Kai! Our youth must not fade! Let us burn our youth and speed up the remaining fifty laps!"

"Um..." Kakugi originally had something to say, and stretched out his hand to stop him, but saw that Matt Dai had disappeared in a flash, leaving only a long trail of exhaust gas.

Metkai hurriedly greeted Kadomu and ran after his father without saying a word.

Kadomu looked at the retreating figure of Metkai, who was uncharacteristically silent, and felt even more strange. Kai seems to be in a bad mood today?

Kakugi ran for a while, stopped at a small training ground, practiced shuriken and kunai throwing for a while, ended today's morning training, and jogged home.

When I got home, my mother had prepared breakfast and was calling Iruka to get up.

Kakugi, who was slowly drinking milk after finishing his meal at the table, was in sharp contrast to Iruka, who was gobbling up his time.

After sending his stinky brother to school and telling him to get up early in the future.

Kakugi returned home, got into his room, opened the ninjutsu scroll that his parents gave him yesterday, and started learning each one.

It wasn't until evening that Kakugi raised his head from the scroll.

I have basically mastered all three ninjutsus, among which the most difficult B-level ninjutsu, Shadow Clone Jutsu, is the fastest to master.

Kakugi speculated that it might be related to his abundant chakra.

Calculating the time, Iruka is about to finish school, so why not test the results of his studies.

Kadomu crossed the index fingers of his hands and released the shadow clone technique. Two identical Kadomu suddenly appeared in front of him.

Kazuoki touched his chin and assigned tasks to the two clones.

One went to school to pick up Iruka from school, and the other went to the No. 6 training ground near the school to randomly "catch" a classmate for a competition.

The two clones took the order and set off. After Kadomu lay down to rest for a while, he got up and went downstairs, where he happened to meet his father who had finished his mission for the day.

So the father and son helped their mother handle the ingredients. After a while, the father was politely "invited" by his mother to read the newspaper.

After a while, Kakumu received a prompt from the system, asking if he wanted to copy the skill. Kakumu decisively chose yes.

"Ding! Successfully copied the skill: Intermediate Reading!"

Um? Who did you meet? Don't Kakugi remember that there were students in Ninja School who were diligent and eager to learn intermediate reading?

"Buzz..." A small stream of memories filled Kakumu's mind. This was the first time Kakumu encountered such a situation, and he couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.

Soon, Kakugi digested the memory sent by the shadow clone.

Well, it turns out I met Ebisu... No wonder.

However, as the shadow clones competed and copied the skills, the number of copies in the system for today also returned to zero.

Kakugi couldn't help but feel discouraged, he thought there was a bug...

After a while, another shadow clone brought Iruka home. As the clone was lifted, another small memory of taking his brother home appeared in Kazuoki's mind.

These memories come into my mind as if I had experienced them myself. But this time Kakumu was prepared in advance and quickly digested these memories.

You must practice a few more times and you'll get used to it soon.

Kakumu asked his father, and his father's words confirmed Kakumu's suspicion.

"You can practice the Shadow Clone Technique more often. The more you practice it, the more you will gradually adapt to the impact of memory on your mind.

At that time, you can even try to use the shadow clone technique to assist your practice.

Although the Shadow Clone Jutsu is of little use for physical training, it can greatly shorten the learning and development of ninjutsu. "

But then the father added:

“Although the shadow clone technique can assist in training, the memory of this kind of training has the greatest impact on the mind.

If you are trying it for the first time, be sure not to create too many clones, and don't let the clones exist for too long, otherwise your brain may not be able to withstand the impact. Remember? "

The father's words were full of warning, and he looked at his son seriously.

Kakugi naturally follows the good deeds. Although the Shadow Clone Technique is not classified as a forbidden technique like its advanced ninjutsu, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, it still has certain dangers and naturally requires a process of adaptation.

Early the next morning, Kakugi got up early, just like yesterday, doing morning exercises and sending Iruka to school.

After sending Iruka into the classroom, Kakugi went straight to the teacher's office and found his former homeroom teacher, Yamada Ino.

After a simple greeting, Yamada Ino handed a scroll into Kakugi's hands.

After Kakugi opened it, he found that the scroll only contained the time and place for the team to gather.

"Gather at the gate of the 8th training ground at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning..."

The place is not far from home, but which team he belongs to and who are the team members are not explained at all on the scroll.

If it weren't for the special anti-counterfeiting seal of Konoha on the scroll and the special mission scroll, Kadomu would have even suspected that this thing was fake.

Kakugi looked at Yamada Ino in confusion, and Yamada Ino smiled mysteriously.

"We'll find out when we get there tomorrow. It's a good thing. Don't worry, Kakugi-san." Yamada Ino said.
