Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

The number was greater than the first time, exceeding fifty, and their appearance was also closer to that of a human.

"The key is the chakra pathways, followed by balance; too much or too little won't do."

Thanks to a year of training in chakra control, Naruto didn't feel much resistance or difficulty when learning it; it was a natural progression.

It gets better each time; each time, there is visible progress.

The thirty-fourth time, the shadow clones created were indistinguishable from Naruto's original body. The only flaw was internal, specifically the vocal cords.

The voice sounded like claws scratching glass, which was very unpleasant to listen to.

Naruto quickly fixed this minor flaw.

Naruto burst into laughter as he watched the shadow clones crowding the house, their feet barely touching the ground.

The shadow clone was him, and the joy was the same. He laughed, and the shadow clone laughed too, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.

The hot-tempered neighbors started cursing.

The Third Hokage only learned about Naruto's mastery of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique on the second day.

It's really weird. I just gave it to him last night, and he's already learned it today? Is it really that fast?!

The most crucial point is that Naruto can't read, so how can he learn it?

Upon reading the report written by the secret service, the entire course of events became clear, and the three generations remained silent.

"As expected of your child," the third generation remarked with emotion.

The image displayed inside the crystal ball.

The three shadow clones continued to learn to read and write, one shadow clone made breakfast in the kitchen, and the two shadow clones cleaned.

Naruto himself was on the tatami mat, walking upside down to strengthen his arms.

After breakfast is ready and eaten, create another shadow clone to go to the ninja academy to learn reading and writing, increasing the number of shadow clones to five.

Naruto's main body traveled through less populated areas to the back mountain, where he then created dozens of shadow clones to practice Water Release techniques, specifically the Water Formation Wall, by the stream.

A whole night was enough for the shadow clones to decipher the text of the technique.

He stood in an open space and exercised.

Seeing this, the third generation covered their faces.

That's not how it is; it's completely different from what he thought.

Naruto should be playing at the Ninja Academy right now, building bonds with his classmates, studying hard, and learning diligently.

Why did he suddenly decide to go to the back mountain to practice asceticism alone?

Silly boy, you don't know how to enjoy life.

"Well, at least he didn't skip class outright, and it wasn't self-harming training. Let's observe for a while before making a decision."

Thinking of this, the third generation silently lit his pipe, took a puff, and habitually switched the crystal ball screen to the bathhouse.

Luckily, someone is using it.

The third generation's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but take a deeper breath, only to realize that they were two old women who were even older than him.

Scalp numbness.

I reflexively turned off the crystal ball.

It's like opening a blind box; you might find a fair-skinned, beautiful, young girl, and you'll be radiant all day.

If it were an old woman…

hiss!

Chapter 9 Is this a water formation wall?

Konoha back mountain.

Naruto's serious face.

Put your hands together in prayer position, forming a mudra.

"Water escape, water formation wall."

The gently flowing stream, pulled by some unknown force, shot skyward, forming a large water curtain that was twenty meters wide, one meter thick, and ten meters high.

The stream was once drained of water.

The water flowing down from upstream is used directly and added to the water curtain, without waiting to reach it.

The water curtain froze for about two seconds, then suddenly tilted forward.

The immense water pressure uprooted the trees, causing them to fall in swathes, only to be swept away by the water and carried forward.

Looking down from above, in front of Naruto, a fan-shaped clearing of nearly a hundred meters had been created, with piles of trees forming a high wall at the edge.

The water waves crashed, flowed back, and seeped into the ground.

Seeing this, Naruto stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "Previously, the shadow clones were just training normally. This is the first time my main body has unleashed a large amount of chakra."

"I wonder how powerful it is. I'll ask the Third Generation another day."

Little did they know, the Third Hokage, who was in the Hokage's office at the time, routinely spying on him with a crystal ball, was already speechless with shock.

"What is that! A water barrier?"

Aside from the seal being a water array wall, it doesn't resemble a water array wall at all.

As a professor of ninjutsu, his understanding of ninjutsu was unparalleled. Soon, the Third Hokage figured out the reason.

"Is it the amount of chakra?" The Third Hokage squinted.

The power of ninjutsu is related to three aspects.

Changes in properties.

Morphological changes.

Next is the amount of chakra.

Naruto has not yet come into contact with nature transformation, and form transformation is directly related to chakra control.

From Naruto's usual training, it's clear that he put in a lot of hard work in this area.

Multiple shadow clones: when one shadow clone disappears, the original body and all the shadow clones can gain the memories, that is, the experience.

Naruto's physique also allows him to use a large number of shadow clones for training.

With consistent practice, even though Naruto has a large amount of chakra and it is difficult to control, he can eventually raise his control to a level where he can control it at will and operate it smoothly.

As for the final amount of chakra, there's no need to elaborate.

The conclusion is that he possesses considerable self-control and an incredibly large amount of chakra.

This is enough to allow Naruto to unleash a more exaggerated level of destructive power from an ordinary defensive ninjutsu than an offensive ninjutsu used by an ordinary ninja.

The level of ninjutsu refers to the difficulty of learning it.

Of course, higher-level ninjutsu is more difficult to master, and those who can learn and use it are already quite strong, so its power is naturally considerable.

However, this does not mean that low-level ninjutsu has no future. Ultimately, the strength of a ninjutsu depends on the user.

An ordinary genin uses S-rank ninjutsu, while a Kage-level ninja uses D-rank or even E-rank ninjutsu; the latter is definitely stronger.

In terms of hardware alone, Naruto's chakra reserves are far greater than most Jonin and Kage-level ninjas, and his control abilities are also quite good after training.

The only thing lacking is the change in nature.

To understand the problem here, the third generation rubbed their brows.

Naruto is now seven years old, having been in school for a year.

Since he acquired Shadow Clones, Naruto's real body has never returned to the Ninja Academy. Instead, he has been training and practicing relentlessly in the back mountains, making things difficult for himself.

And this shadow clone who went to school didn't pay attention in class.

They only show an amazing learning attitude when they encounter something that interests them, such as the teaching of the Three Bodies Technique.

At other times, he is completely immersed in his own world, secretly practicing his chakra control in class.

This resulted in Naruto's exam paper being almost completely blank during exams.

Why almost?

Because he wrote his name on it…

The Third Hokage had a headache just thinking about Naruto's condition.

If things continue like this, he'll become strong, but he'll be illiterate, knowing nothing but fighting.

With his hands on either side, he slowly stroked his brow, while the third generation stared wide-eyed at the crystal ball.

in the screen.

Once the water from upstream filled the gap and there was enough water, Naruto continued to use the Water Barrier.

Once the water array wall is formed, it can undergo secondary changes. Water has the highest plasticity and is the most changeable of all properties.

Theoretically, if you have sufficient control and enough chakra, you can control water to take any shape.

And because chakra exists in the water.

Density, mass, and the same volume of water are worlds apart.

A water bullet the size of a fist can easily pierce a tree that requires two people to hug.

If the tip of the water bullet is slightly adjusted and its high-speed rotation is controlled, a single strike could blast the tree in half.

One moment it's water bullets, the next it's water swords; Naruto is having a blast. Aside from the excessive chakra consumption, there's nothing wrong with it.

The Third Hokage, or rather, any Jonin skilled in Water Release, could do these things, but no one would.

A very real problem is that the amount of chakra can't withstand such abuse.

It's not cost-effective.

The chakra Naruto expended in controlling the water barrier to undergo two transformations was enough for a Jonin to use advanced water jutsu two or three times.

"This can't go on any longer," the Third Hokage murmured, his eyes bloodshot.
