Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"Goodbye." Naruto waved with a smile.

As he watched Hanabi disappear from sight, he used his chakra sensing technique to detect a life force moving along with Hanabi's movements.

It was the same person I had sensed that morning.

Since someone is protecting him, he doesn't need to worry about it. Naruto cracks his knuckles and continues training.

Suddenly, a flood of memories surged up, and Naruto lost his balance, collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"My head! It's going to split open!" Naruto clutched his head, gasping for breath.

With the Nine-Tails' help, the ability to transfer chakra to the shadow clones remotely provided him with great convenience.

Even after leaving Konoha and going to the Land of Waves, the number of shadow clones he trained in the back mountains did not decrease; it remained at nearly a thousand.

Furthermore, the shadow clones will not disappear when their chakra is exhausted. As long as the Nine-Tails' chakra supply is not interrupted, they can continue to train.

The progress of the shadow clones' communication, their sharing of information, and whether they have each other's memories are irrelevant.

It's convenient, and the efficiency of becoming stronger is improved, but the side effects are equally significant.

Now, the disappearance of a single shadow clone can give Naruto one to two weeks, or even more than a month, of memories.

A splitting headache.

So sad.

After a long while, Naruto sat cross-legged and rubbed his temples.

"They actually skipped wind, fire, and water, and prioritized cultivating the properties of earth!"

"Is that so? To deal with Orochimaru."

"Oh, I see. Indeed, it seems promising."

Not all shadow clones are cultivating.

The team consists of ten shadow clones, who are specifically designed to devise tactics and leverage each other's strengths and compensate for each other's weaknesses.

Use sophisticated tactics to compensate for the lack of combat experience.

After digesting the memories of the shadow clones, Naruto raised his right hand and refined his chakra.

Through the transformation of the properties of earth, this chakra became earth of superior quality.

Thunder and water are a perfect match, and wind and fire are the best partners. They all have complementary effects, and when combined, their power will be multiplied.

And what about soil?

It was first restrained by Ray.

It also restrains water.

It doesn't suit the Japanese style either.

The only passable fire was barely satisfactory; it didn't have the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

Unless they are fused into a bloodline limit, earth doesn't fit with any of the other techniques in terms of elemental combination.

However, earth has a unique characteristic that the other four attributes do not possess.

lasting!

Chakra that has undergone a change in nature will quickly evaporate and disappear once the chakra supply is cut off.

Fire, thunder, wind, and water are all included.

Unlike earth, it can still sustain itself for a period of time even without a supply of chakra.

Furthermore, soil is the hardest.

The idea behind the Shadow Clone Technique is that if we can't kill Orochimaru, we can create a cage to trap him.

The prerequisite is that the development of the Rasenshuriken is completed.

Incidentally, the Rasenshuriken is just the appearance of the technique; it is not limited to the wind attribute.

In the later part of the story, Naruto incorporates the chakra attributes of the tailed beasts, allowing him to use various different Rasenshuriken.

The attributes are different, but the appearance is still a spiral shuriken.

"No, this is a top priority, and I have to get involved too."

Naruto stood up, intending to go to the back mountain, but he got dizzy from standing up so quickly that he almost fell over again.

The side effects of shadow clones are not a problem.

Naruto took a deep breath, identified the direction, and made his way through the deserted alley to the back mountain.

Sealed space.

Lying behind the iron gate, Kurama silently witnessed Naruto's performance.

"Why did you go to this extent? You already possess my power; you're already very strong." Nine-Tails.

"Well, on one hand, it's for my own sake, to live a comfortable and peaceful life; on the other hand, I don't want to lose you." Naruto.

"Lose me? What do you mean?" Nine-Tails.

"If I said I know a little about the future, would you believe me?" Naruto.

"Oh! What kind of future? Tell me about it." Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Faced with an enemy you couldn't defeat, you burned your own life to save me." - Naruto

"..." Nine-tailed Fox.

This conversation took place about two weeks ago.

The ultimate trump card, burning its life force, is known only to Kurama (the Nine-Tails), not even to the Sage of Six Paths. How could Naruto possibly know it…?

Have we really glimpsed the future?

The one on Mount Myoboku can foresee the future in his dreams.

Although it seems incredible, it shows that predicting the future is not impossible.

"My name is Nine-Lama."

“My real name is Nine Lama. Remember it well.”

"My name is Nine-Lama. Enough with the nonsense, come on, let's exchange a punch."

Although he didn't say it aloud, he had already accepted and acknowledged Naruto's Nine-Tails in his heart, and his inner thoughts were quite complex.

dark.

Naruto, engrossed in his training and completely absorbed in it, noticed a pair of shoes appear in his line of sight and looked up.

Sakura looked at him expressionlessly.

"Listen, let me explain! Look, it's not too late for dinner now, I'll go right away..."

Interrupting Naruto, Sakura said, "I knew you were here since you weren't home, so you don't need to go back. I brought some food."

“You brought this…” Naruto froze.

"Don't worry, I didn't interfere. My mom made the curry rice," Sakura said calmly, squatting down and opening the bento boxes one by one.

"So many!" Naruto exclaimed in surprise.

"Eat more so you can have energy. I know you're in good health, but if you don't get enough nutrition, your body will break down," Sakura said.

Naruto took a bite, found it incredibly delicious, thanked them, and then wolfed it down.

"You're welcome. I also have something to ask of you." Sakura.

Naruto looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Take me with you on your training.” Sakura.

Chapter 51 Helping Within Our Capacity

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Naruto gestured with his chopsticks and said, "Want to train? Go find Kakashi-sensei. He knows a lot of things."

“I want to learn from you,” Sakura said.

"Me? No, no." Naruto shook his head.

“You and I are not the same style. You can’t do my style. Kakashi-sensei is more suitable for you.”

"For example, you have a talent for illusion magic, and you also have exceptional strength in physical combat."

"I specialize in ninjutsu and minor in taijutsu. You won't learn anything from me, and it will only delay your progress."

“I’m going to learn from you. I have my own plans, and there’s no question of delaying things,” Sakura said.

"So what do you want to learn from me? Exercise? Hit trees?" Naruto asked helplessly.

"Nature transformation is useless to you even if you learn it. Your chakra reserves limit your development in escaping techniques."

"The most cost-effective techniques are genjutsu and taijutsu, followed by medical ninjutsu. These consume far less chakra than ninjutsu."

"I want to learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique," Sakura said directly.

"!?" Naruto.

"Uh, I remember telling you that this is a forbidden technique." Naruto was speechless.

"It would be life-threatening for an ordinary person to use it, and to be honest, shadow clones are very fragile and cannot withstand major impacts."

"Besides aiding learning, this thing is pretty useless, unless you can do what I do and implement a massive human wave tactic, and then..."

"Please," Sakura said, bowing her head.

"I want to catch up with someone, not to be left behind, and I want to help him realize his dreams."

"I will act within my capabilities, avoid recklessness, and do my utmost without endangering my life."

"Multiple shadow clones can maximize my learning efficiency, which is very important to me. Perhaps I can't be like you, but even just one or two are better than me being alone."

Naruto remained silent for a long time before saying with a complicated expression, "To have such resolve for Sasuke, you really do like him."

Sakura remained silent.

“Since you’ve put it this way,” Naruto said.
