My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 117 Shadow
Night, Link's home.

[The materialized chakra has not dissipated even after being cut off. This is really outrageous.]

Link felt a little emotional as he looked at the Shukaku chakra on the table which had been divided into cubes for easy storage.

Not to mention materializing, his own chakra could not be seen with his own eyes, and would dissipate immediately if cut off. Even if sealed in a scroll, it would still quickly dissipate and be wasted.

The physical chakra of the Jinchūriki after he transforms into a tailed beast can not only be observed and touched, but can even be cut off and preserved for a long time.

[According to what Jiraiya mentioned in the comics, the Eight Diagrams Seal composed of two Four Symbols Seals can convert the leaked Nine-Tails Chakra into Naruto's Chakra. If I want to use this thing, the safest way is to release Minato Namikaze from the belly of the God of Death and give me an Eight Diagrams Seal as well]

It seems impossible.

Originally, he considered using sealing techniques to absorb the tailed beast's chakra for his own use, but he soon realized one thing -

If he could really absorb the tailed beast's chakra through sealing techniques, would it still be his turn?
The people in the Naruto world are not idiots. If the problem can be solved with sealing techniques, it will definitely not be his turn.

So in the end, Link did not tell the Sandaime that he had collected the chakra of the tailed beasts to get help. Instead, he asked Sasuke to help him summon the chakras of the tailed beasts, cut them into pieces and kept them at home for research.

[If the sealing technique doesn't work, will I really have to suffer? ]

Link looked at the khaki square on the table and shook his head. In the comics of the Hidden Cloud Village, there were people who imitated Kinkaku and Ginkaku, but they all died instantly, proving that the chakra of the tailed beasts could not be absorbed by normal people.

Eating is definitely the worst option.

He is not the descendant of the Six Paths Sage, so he will die if he eats this thing.

How to use it?
Link counted all the variant ninjutsu he had mastered, and it was obvious that the Three Body Technique was not enough. Even if he transformed into a giant, he didn't think he could withstand the chakra of the tailed beast.

Thinking about the matter of mutant ninjutsu, he suddenly had a new idea.

I picked up the khaki cube casually, and under the light, a bright shadow was cast on the table.

[Can the shadow clones that share physical strength take away the chakra of the tailed beast chakra cube? After all, this thing is strictly speaking a living thing...]

Link quickly began to practice, refining chakra, dividing it evenly, forming seals, and releasing it——

The shadow next to the khaki square on the table quickly swelled up, and a completely black square appeared. Then, the khaki square quickly shrank as if it were shrinking.

「If that’s okay, wait──」

He thought of a new way to play and took out another piece of tailed beast chakra from the cabinet.

Cancel the Shadow Clone Technique, refine the chakra again, divide it into three parts, make a seal, and release——

In fact, it is an advanced application of the Shadow Clone Technique. The shadow created changes from one to two, but he does not use it often. After all, the proportion of the opponent's physical strength absorbed depends on the proportion of his own chakra. Multiple shadows can only reduce the weakening of the shadow on the enemy, and his own consumption will increase.

The opponent can only split out one shadow at the same time, so he rarely uses the shadow clone technique to create multiple shadows.

After all, although the shadow's combat power completely replicates the original body's physical skill level, in actual combat, there are really not many ninjas who rely mainly on physical skills. The higher the level of the battle, the more people will just use physical skills to dodge attacks, and the main method of attack is still based on ninjutsu.

Having a few more cannon fodders who only know physical skills won’t make any difference.

But at this moment, he thought of something very interesting from shadow + eating.

After Link completed the Shadow Clone Technique, he separated the shadow under his feet, and then separated the shadow of the new tailed beast chakra. He then threw the black tailed beast chakra block to the shadow and controlled the shadow to swallow the block.

After a few seconds, something strange happened. [Contact lost]

He felt the Tailed Beast Chakra Cube completely lose connection, and then the shadow stopped draining his energy, and then -

[The Shadow Clone Technique has been lifted]

Link looked down and saw the shadow under his feet reappear. He could use the Shadow Clone Technique again, but...

The shadow that had just swallowed one-third of the tailed beast's chakra cube was still standing opposite. The connection in consciousness still existed, but the technique had been lifted.

The tailed beast chakra cube on the table, which had shrunk by one third, also disappeared.

[I can't digest the tailed beast's chakra, but the shadow can? ]

[But why can it continue to exist after the spell is lifted? ]

Link thought of the Earth Dragon consciousness he had created using the Earth Dragon Hiding Technique, and looked at the shadow that was connected to him and obeyed his orders, but had actually become an independent existence.

[My technique...]

[Can life be created?! ]

[No, to be precise, it is my chakra and technique plus the tailed beast chakra that allow the shadow to exist independently. The shadow cannot think, has no subjective consciousness, and cannot reproduce. It cannot be considered a living being.]

【But why? 】

[Is it a problem with the technique? Or is it a problem with the tailed beast's chakra? ]

Full of doubts, he controlled Shadow to act as usual.

Whether it's doing housework, two-dimensional to three-dimensional actions, or fighting, physical strength is no different from usual.

The only difference is that Shadow is not limited by his physical strength as usual, but has his own physical strength -

The kind that will recover automatically.

The capacity is about one-third of his chakra, which seems reasonable, but this is exactly the most unreasonable part.

Without eating or drinking, where do you get the energy to restore your strength?

What about the tailed beast chakra? Even if it is just a cube-sized physical chakra, it should theoretically be more than his total chakra, so why not use the amount of tailed beast chakra as the standard of physical strength?
Can the shadow have thoughts? How does it store memories of housework, battles, etc. from the original body?
Why is the shadow still connected to his consciousness and obeys his orders after being separated into independent individuals?
Link was originally still worrying about how to use the chakra of the tailed beasts, but after just a while, his mind was filled with other problems.
-
The next day, in the morning, at the Hyuga clan's territory.

"You don't look like you got enough rest."

Hatake Kakashi asked casually with concern.

"Yesterday, I encountered some problems in my practice..." Link looked down at his feet with dark circles under his eyes.

In the not-so-bright sunlight, his shadow was as black as ink.

Those were five overlapping shadows that he had permanently separated. They were also the result of him staying up all night and now having no energy.

"Please follow me." The Hyuga clan member in front nodded and led the two into the slightly closed Hyuga clan residence.
