Chapter 12 The Art of Shadow Clone

A forest near the Uchiha clan's territory.

Suzumiya Musashi walked around for a long time and found Uchiha Itachi who was practicing the kunai throwing technique!

"Ha! Found you!"

Uchiha Itachi, who was practicing, was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of Suzumiya Musashi.

"How did you find this place?"

Suzumiya Musashi smiled and said, "I noticed that you were acting strangely in the classroom recently. Sure enough, I guessed it! You were using your shadow clone to skip class, right?"

"…Yes. So, you're here to ask me to go back to class?"

"Class?" Suzumiya Musashi shook his head and said, "The courses in school are too boring, and the level of teacher Mizuki is also very low. I came to you because I need your help with something."

"What's the matter?" Uchiha Itachi said, his hands moving non-stop, and the kunai was accurately nailed into the center of the wooden rake at various tricky angles.

Suzumiya Musashi said: "I want you to teach me the Shadow Clone Technique."

Uchiha Itachi stopped his movements: "Shadow Clone Technique?"

Suzumiya Musashi said: "Yes! If you teach me the Shadow Clone Technique, I can pay you, including the teaching fee and the ninjutsu fee. You know, it would be too troublesome to find a village to learn from."

Uchiha Itachi thought about it, shook his head and refused: "No."

"Why not?"

"The Shadow Clone Technique is a B-rank ninjutsu. Without a certain level of strength, it is impossible to practice it."

Suzumiya Musashi was immediately furious. "Are you mocking my poor strength?"

Uchiha Itachi said: "I am not mocking you. If you practice advanced ninjutsu in advance, it is dangerous. You can wait a little longer. When your strength improves a little, I can teach you."

Suzumiya Musashi felt a little helpless.

Being underestimated by a genius.

He thought for a moment and said, "Itachi, I'm serious. The school courses take up too much of my time, so I hope you can teach me the Shadow Clone Technique."

"If you can teach me, I can guarantee two prerequisites. First, if it doesn't work, I will never force myself to practice."

"Second, I won't secretly go to Izumi and say: Itachi can't stand being with you, and he uses his shadow clones to fool you every day, and he goes off to have a good time."

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

In the end, under Suzumiya Musashi's sincere plea, Uchiha Itachi was finally persuaded by the other party and taught him the Shadow Clone Technique.

After Itachi finished teaching and explaining all the precautions, Suzumiya Musashi planned to leave.

Uchiha Itachi called him: "Where are you going?"

Suzumiya Musashi replied: "Go home and practice slowly?"

Uchiha Itachi pointed to the ground and said calmly: "Practice here, I'll watch you."

Suzumiya Musashi was stunned.

[Is this guy worried that I might make mistakes in my training? Really. ]

Thinking about it, he sat down on the ground obediently and slowly mobilized his chakra according to the hand seals and execution methods of the Shadow Clone Technique.

He crossed his hands and formed the Ren seal, and the chakra accumulated in his body surged along his meridians.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Oh!"

A crooked mass of unidentified matter appeared next to Suzumiya Musashi, and before he could react, it dissipated on its own with a bang.

Uchiha Itachi frowned and said, "The chakra was not mobilized in time, and the hand seals were not very standard. But it's okay, let's do it again!"

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Oh!"

"The seal is standard, but the chakra flow is not coordinated. Let's do it again!"

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Oh!"

"The chakra is too strong! How can the spell be successful like this? Try again!"

"Oh!"

"Come again!"

"I just don't believe it! Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Oh!"

"Come again!"

After a long time, Uchiha Itachi stopped practicing ninjutsu.

Suzumiya Musashi's chakra is exhausted.

Although he was unwilling, in order not to hurt his body, he had to wait until his body recovered before continuing to practice.

"Itachi, how many times did you succeed in your training?"

Uchiha Itachi said expressionlessly: "Twice."

"Damn!" Suzumiya Musashi cursed.

He has tried more than twenty times and still hasn't succeeded. Is this the difference between him and a genius?

Uchiha Itachi said: "You don't have to be sad. First of all, you are too young, you are not old enough to practice this technique.

Moreover, B-level ninjutsu requires a very high level of chakra control ability, so it is inevitable that it is difficult for ordinary people to master it at the beginning."

Suzumiya Musashi said dejectedly: "The gap between you and me is too big."

Uchiha Itachi said: "You don't have to compare yourself with me, it's meaningless. In fact, you have made great progress. Chakra control and ninjutsu training itself requires long-term training. What's important is that every time I point out a problem, you can remember it and make changes.

Although it has not yet reached the point where it can be successfully performed, at least the changes are obvious. "

"Okay, okay, no need to comfort me. I'll stop here for today. Thanks."

Suzumiya Musashi said goodbye and left.

After he walked away, Uchiha Itachi's mouth corners curled up slightly.

"Well, my father is right."

"If you feel tired from training, you will feel better if you look at the training speed of the idiot."

In the following days, in order to master the Shadow Clone Technique as soon as possible, Suzumiya Musashi came to Uchiha Itachi at noon every day to practice ninjutsu.

Once I even met Uchiha Shisui.

Out of curiosity and recognition of the strong, Suzumiya Musashi talked to the other party with great interest for a while, talking about Youthful Ninja Way and Will of Fire, and they had a very pleasant conversation.

This guy Uchiha Itachi is actually jealous!

This made Suzumiya Musashi marvel in his heart.

After continuous practice, a week later, he finally succeeded in performing the Shadow Clone Technique.

Suzumiya Musashi was basically satisfied.

Although he can't compare with this guy Uchiha Itachi.

However, being able to master Shadow Clone at a young age is considered quite good among ninjas.

Besides, he didn't spend much time on chakra training.

Suzumiya Musashi felt that he could meet the basic requirements for practicing this technique. The spiritual aspect was attributed to the spiritual strength of his two lives as a human being, the physical aspect might be the talent inherited from Suzumiya Kenta, and more likely it was due to long-term hard training.

He firmly believed that a strong physique was the foundation of a ninja. As long as his body became stronger through hard training, the amount of chakra he could extract would also increase.

After completing his ninjutsu training, Suzumiya Musashi said goodbye to Uchiha Itachi.

What was a little strange was that seeing that he had succeeded in his training, Uchiha Itachi seemed a little unhappy.

[Maybe he is reluctant to leave because he can't practice together anymore.] Suzumiya Musashi thought.
