Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Naruto's eyes lit up.

He knew all too well what this meant!

[“After the shadow clone dissipates, the clone's experiences and memories will be transmitted back to the original body... Furthermore, if the shadow clone does not exhaust its chakra during this period, or suffers a certain level of attack, it will not dissipate on its own.”]

"Then, from now on, the shadow clones can learn some knowledge-based things, things that involve experience... such as learning and mastering, and integrating ninjutsu, etc., all of which can be accomplished by the shadow clones."

It was as if Naruto had opened the door to a whole new world.

He was fascinated by the feeling of being able to see everything.

[We started trying it right away.]

[After awkwardly but quickly forming a few seals.]

Naruto frowned slightly.

【Bang--】

[Chakra Burst.]

Immediately afterwards, a loud explosion was heard, followed by a plume of white smoke.

[Then Naruto instantly created five shadow clones.]

[This was even after he controlled the quantity.]

For some reason, I feel like this ninjutsu is somewhat incomplete.

But this feeling was fleeting; Naruto's attention quickly returned to the shadow clones.

"Then, I'll leave it to you to practice hand seals... Our hand seal speed is too slow; according to the book, it's because we haven't developed muscle memory... I think with the characteristics of shadow clones, we should be able to cultivate that."

[After a moment's thought, Naruto looked at his shadow clone and said.]

Then, after thinking for a moment, he added, "When Teacher Iruka uses the Shadow Clone Technique, it seems that he's using two fewer hand seals than he taught us, and his speed is significantly increased."

"Seals are used to assist ninjas in controlling the flow and speed of chakra... In other words, if you understand the principles of a technique and how chakra should flow when casting it, then it's possible to simplify hand seals or even release techniques without them."

"So my task is to figure out how to use chakra corresponding to each seal, right, main body?" another shadow clone said with a light laugh.

Looking at his shadow clone, Naruto nodded slightly.

The existence of shadow clones indicates that their memories and experiences do not continuously assimilate with the original body over time.

"My mission is to simulate all possible future scenarios while I'm in the tree, and under any circumstances, to steadily channel chakra to the soles of my feet, keeping myself in a constant state of tree climbing, and to hone this ability into an instinct, right, main body?" another shadow clone asked, confirming with Naruto.

Naruto thought for a moment and said, "Just do it our way."

"So, my task is to simulate everything while treading water."

"My task is to continuously strengthen all the capabilities we now possess."

[Five shadow clones, each with their own task and clearly defined roles.]

[Naruto suddenly thought of a question.]

"Shadow clones can transmit memories and experiences."

"If there's too much at once... as the main body, it could very likely have a significant impact on the brain."

"So please be as careful as possible, and don't deactivate the Shadow Clone Technique all at once."

【"Understood." x5】

[Whoosh—]

The five shadow clones finished speaking and said no more.

The mission is clear; outside of that, they try their best not to care about or overthink anything.

[This is to minimize the impact on the main body's brain after the shadow clone dissipates.]

[As a pre-existing idea, even if it's a product of thought derived from the same way of thinking as the original concept, it's still a product and needs to be digested. No matter how smooth the process of accepting the 'product' is, it will still have a certain impact.]

Tobirama Senju: Details determine success or failure.

Tobirama Senju: Naruto with black-rimmed glasses is practically obsessive-compulsive in this regard.

Hashirama Senju: Hahaha~

Hashirama Senju: As they say, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Uchiha Izuna: If only he were from my Uchiha clan!

Uchiha Izuna: In the end, the last Uchiha clan was born, but two exceptional individuals emerged!

Uchiha Izuna: Only one is left who's relatively normal...sigh~

Onoki: "Speaking of which, the Shadow Clone Technique was developed by the Second Hokage of Konoha."

The Fourth Raikage: "Although I hate to admit it, Konoha's contribution to the ninja world is indeed second to none."

Hashirama Senju: Shadow Clone Technique? I think Tobirama developed it based on my Wood Clone Technique.

Everyone: "..."

He truly deserves to be called the God of Ninjas.

Tobirama Senju: It is indeed as you said, brother. However, what I developed at the beginning was the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, which reduced the number of key seals.

Tobirama Senju: Actually, they can be considered two techniques. Shadow Clone Technique is not that risky, but Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is too dangerous.

Hashirama Senju: That's right, that's why I wrote it into the Book of Seals.

Naruto wasn't idle.

Instead, he went to the other side to check on the younger children's learning progress.

[Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Naruto now uses either the Substitution Jutsu to travel quickly during training, or he alternates between using the Body Flicker Technique.]

He was faced with a clear problem.

[The issues of distance and precise location.]

However, these things don't seem to be a problem given Naruto's chakra reserves; what he needs is time to hone them.

[The person closest to Naruto is Tenten.]

Looking at Tian Tian's face, which was full of bitterness.

Naruto didn't disturb them.

The truth is, Tenten's talent in ninjutsu is not outstanding.

For now, Naruto doesn't plan to interfere with them.

Then, Naruto went to the spot where Sasuke usually trained.

[Very good. Sasuke seems to have been stimulated by something and is forcing himself to calm down.]

They've already started practicing treading water.

[After thinking for a moment, Naruto looked at Sasuke, who was soaked to the bone, and decided to leave.]

This time, his goal was clear.

Before long, Naruto arrived at the spot where Shikamaru was training.

【Bang--】

What a coincidence.

Shikamaru is currently training in the Shadow Clone Technique.

At this crucial moment, Naruto wanted to teach her, but he didn't interrupt.

"Come over in a bit, it'll be just right."

"Shikamaru alone isn't enough... Sakura has a good talent for chakra manipulation. Although she doesn't have a lot of chakra, she should be able to divide it into two portions now."

"There's one more small question: why is the chakra level of the shadow clones basically average?"

"It not only feels incomplete... but it also seems to have been developed specifically for a certain ninjutsu or ability. Who was its developer?"

With this question in mind, Naruto went to find Sakura.

[Sakura has been discovered meditating to recover her energy.]

Seeing the large beads of sweat on Sakura's forehead, Naruto knew that Sakura had successfully mastered the Shadow Clone Technique.

But she seemed to be in a somewhat unwell state.

[Whoosh—]

[Naruto teleports to Sakura's side.]

He deliberately made some noise, which Sakura noticed immediately.

Opening her eyes, Sakura saw Naruto standing before her, seemingly out of nowhere. She wasn't surprised; in fact, she was already somewhat used to Naruto's unpredictable appearances.

"Sakura, come with me."

Upon hearing this, Sakura was stunned.

[Her little face instantly warmed up.]

But Naruto's next words disappointed Sakura.

"I need your help with a problem."
