Konoha: I have a gravity training room

"That's right, this Xia Mu will definitely be killed instantly by Sasuke-kun!"

Xia Mu only felt the corners of his mouth twitching, he didn't say anything. Why was the hatred that Naruto provoked directed at him? Aren't these love-brained people a little too much?

At Iruka's signal, Natsuki and Sasuke walked to the center and formed a hand seal of opposition.

"start!"

As soon as Iruka finished speaking, Sasuke rushed up, probably wanting to end this not-so-difficult battle quickly, but Sasuke obviously underestimated Natsuki.

Although Xia Mu wanted to hide his shortcomings, he would not act too badly, nor did he want to get beaten in vain.

He used the basic punches and kicks he learned in school and exchanged a few moves with Sasuke, and his strength was roughly controlled at the same level as Sasuke's. For a while, he and Sasuke were evenly matched.

Naruto was delighted when he saw this, and decisively shouted in support: "Come on Xia Mu! Hit him! Hit him!"

However, the girls' cheers were obviously more enthusiastic. They screamed one after another, completely drowning out Naruto's voice.

Sasuke was extremely annoyed, but he was somewhat surprised at Natsuki's strength. Although there had not been many matches scheduled in the past month since school started, few could fight him for more than a dozen rounds.

The students in the class are really weak in physical skills, so it's normal that they were defeated by him easily.

This is the first time I fought against this guy named Xia Mu. I didn’t expect that he was quite skilled. However, basic punches and kicks are nothing. I will definitely lose to Uchiha’s physical skills.

So, Sasuke decisively used the Uchiha fluid flow technique he learned from his elder brother and immediately gained the upper hand.

While dodging and blocking, Xia Mu observed the Uchiha style's physical skills and found that they were indeed much better than the ordinary punches and kicks taught in school. Not only were they as beautiful as dancing, but the technique of exerting force was also quite special.

If I were to imitate Uchiha Madara and say: Do you want to dance too?

It has that flavor!

When Xia Mu saw that he was no match for his opponent, he did not think of increasing his strength. Instead, he suddenly took a few steps back and quickly formed seals with his hands.

"The art of cloning!" Bang!

However, everyone was stunned, because everyone could see that Xia Mu's seal was correct, it was indeed the clone technique, and Xia Mu was also shouting the clone technique, but there was no clone at all.

"Failed?" Even Iruka was puzzled.

In Iruka's impression, although Xia Mu was not good at ninjutsu, he knew the clone technique.

Judging from the seals just now, there was not a single mistake, so it shouldn't have failed.

Naruto also got anxious: "Xia Mu! What are you doing! It's just a clone jutsu, how did you do that?!"

His friends were also surprised. Even Shino, who knew that Natsuki was hiding his abilities, was puzzled. Even if he wanted to hide his abilities, he wouldn't even pretend to be unable to use the clone technique.

"Hehe, it seems that you are so nervous that you can't even use the clone technique. Why don't you just admit defeat?" Erzhuzi became even more arrogant.

However, Xia Mu didn't listen and rushed forward, punching Sasuke's cute and handsome face. Sasuke stretched out his hand to block, but his face changed in the next second, because the fist went straight through his block.

Phantom? When?

Immediately afterwards, a fist hit his stomach and knocked him away.

After rolling twice on the ground, he quickly stood up, enduring the pain in his abdomen, and looked at Xia Mu in surprise and doubt, only to see that Xia Mu now showed four hands.

Four hands? What's going on?

Was the punch just now a phantom attack?

The classmates were also stunned, and the girls' cheers stopped abruptly, all of them in disbelief.

Such a powerful Sasuke was actually beaten away!

Naruto reacted and said happily: "I don't know what happened, but Xia Mu did a great job! Hahaha! Arrogant Sasuke, there will be a day when you will be beaten to the ground!"

The girls glared at him, but didn't know what to say. Many of them looked at Iruka in confusion, asking for an explanation.

Iruka was a Chunin after all, so he understood immediately: "It's the clone jutsu! The clone jutsu just now didn't fail, it succeeded, it just merged with the original body, so no one can see it!"

Clone Technique? I see?

I still don’t quite understand!

"Xia Mu is very clever. His usual clone technique creates several afterimages that disrupt the opponent from all sides, but they have no offensive power. As long as the opponent sees through it and ignores it, it's fine. But Xia Mu merged the afterimages with his original form. The original form and the two clones affect each other's vision, making it difficult for the opponent to distinguish them. If the opponent can't distinguish between the original form and the clones during an attack, they will be very passive!"

After Iruka's explanation, the students immediately understood.

Everyone was very surprised. They probably didn't expect that the clone technique could be used in this way, even causing Sasuke to suffer.

Shino nodded slightly. He said that Natsuki Kōjutsu was not that excessive. He should at least show some strength. The special application of this clone technique was really eye-opening.

However, in the eyes of those shady rats, it may not be worth mentioning, so there is no need to worry about being targeted.

Sasuke also reacted, and the pain in his abdomen was relieved a lot. He said seriously for the first time: "Xia Mu, right? I admit that I underestimated you. Your move is indeed good. However, it is not that easy to defeat me like this."

"Then I'll wait for you, Sasuke, to break this move."

Xia Mu said as he rushed forward again, attacking Sasuke with his clone's fists and his original fists one after another, forcing Sasuke to retreat continuously.

Although Sasuke was tough in words, it was indeed difficult for him to distinguish the attacks of his clone and his real body at that moment. Sometimes when he was defending, it happened to be the clone's attack, which would immediately reveal his flaws, and sometimes when he didn't defend, it happened to be the real body's attack. In short, he was punched a lot.

However, Sasuke is also smart.

He suddenly took a few steps back and quickly made a few seals.

"The art of cloning!" Bang!

But there was no clone, instead Sasuke had two pairs of arms. This guy had actually learned this move in such a short time, and even used two clones to hide in his main body.

Chapter 18 Battle Results

Not only did he apply what he learned, but he also surpassed his teacher.

I can only say that he is worthy of being Nijima, worthy of being an Uchiha, his comprehension is really high.

Don’t think that the art of cloning is simple, and that it is also easy to merge the clone and the original body. In fact, it is not easy to control the clone phantom. Not only do you have to keep the clone together, but you also have to ensure that the clone and the original body fit together as closely as possible, otherwise it will not have the effect of confusing the opponent.

It was difficult to fuse one clone, but Sasuke combined two clones, which made it even more difficult.

This level of understanding is really high.

Think about it, before the Chunin Exams began, Sasuke was almost defeated by Rock Lee using the Lotus Flower Technique, but just after seeing it that one time, Sasuke learned the moves that Rock Lee had worked so hard to learn.

No wonder everyone praises Sasuke as a genius, he truly deserves the title.

But compared to Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke is just an ordinary genius, while Uchiha Itachi is a little bit beyond the standard.

"Wow! Sasuke-kun is amazing! He learned this move in an instant!"

"Sasuke-kun is a genius!"

"Haha! Now Sasuke-kun has combined two clones, while Natsuki only combined one. Sasuke-kun will definitely win!"

Calm down, winning or losing has nothing to do with the number of clones!

Can you love-brained people please stop yelling!

Naruto immediately yelled, "Sasuke, you're so shameless! You actually stole Xia Mu's special move and dared to use it openly! Don't you feel ashamed?"

Sasuke's face flushed and he yelled, "Shut up, you tailgater!"

"Nani! You are the last one..."

Naruto wanted to yell again, but Iruka picked him up and threw him aside. Faced with Iruka's threat, Naruto finally behaved himself.

Xia Mu was calm and said with a smile: "As expected of an Uchiha, you learned the moves I worked so hard to come up with in an instant. And I can only control one clone, but you can control two directly. It's really amazing."

Sasuke was immediately pleased when he heard this: "Then, it's time to end the battle!"

As he said that, he pounced on me.

Xia Mu was not afraid and also went forward to meet him, and the two fought again.

It was just more intense than before. Everyone only saw many arms waving between the two people, and they couldn't tell which were the phantoms of the clones, nor could they tell which were the fists of the real person.

The two of them fought back and forth for dozens of moves. Sasuke was beaten a lot, and Xia Mu was also hit a few times.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xia Mu suddenly retreated quickly, and the clone on his body disappeared with a bang. He was also sweating and panting.

"I, I give up. I'm out of chakra."

Xia Mu admitted defeat decisively, which immediately caused Sasuke, who was rushing towards him, to stagger and almost fall flat on his face.

Iruka quickly announced, "The battle is over! Uchiha Sasuke wins!"

However, Sasuke was not happy at all. Not only did he fail to knock Natsuki down, but he even received many more punches than Natsuki. In a sense, he suffered a great loss.

However, the opponent admitted defeat and Iruka announced that it was over. What could Sasuke do?

"How can you admit defeat! I haven't knocked you down yet!" Sasuke made the seal of reconciliation viciously.

"I can't help it! I have no chakra left." Xia Mu also made a seal of reconciliation, but with a smile on his face.

I have to say I was very happy to have beaten Erzhuzi up. It was because Erzhuzi was so arrogant and proud. If he wasn't taught a lesson, he would be so proud.

The girls cheered for Sasuke's victory and didn't notice his gloomy face at all.

Iruka picked up the record sheet again and said, "Second match, Uzumaki Naruto vs. Aburame Shino!"

Xia Mu just came off the court and gave Shino a thumbs up when he heard this: "Keep going!"

Shino nodded and slowly walked to the middle.

Naruto rushed forward and shouted, "Hehe! Although I couldn't fight against the arrogant Sasuke, Shino, you should wake up! I, Uzumaki Naruto, will become the Hokage. Let me show you how powerful I am!"

As he said that, he rushed forward.

The next second, KO!

"Well, I've seen how powerful you are."

Shino said this and walked away gracefully, leaving Naruto lying on the ground being laughed at by his classmates.

It's not that the classmates are rude, nor are they targeting Naruto on purpose this time. Naruto is just bragging about himself, and he only has this little ability, so he deserves to be ridiculed.

"Well done!" Xia Mu praised.

"the same as you."

Shino stared directly at Natsuki through his sunglasses. "You've developed the clone technique very well. It's not easy for ordinary people to defeat you. If I didn't rely on the help of the bugs, I probably wouldn't be able to defeat you either. Natsuki, you stayed up late last night just to study this, didn't you?"

Xia Mu smiled and shook his head, whispering, "It's just a clone technique, there's no need to stay up all night to study it. I'm researching something more powerful, but I can't tell you for the time being."

Shino doesn't care, he just wants to know that Natsuki is very powerful.

The subsequent fights were nothing to watch, it was basically just noobs fighting each other, and the girls were pinching faces and pulling hair, which made people roll their eyes.

Oh, only Hinata performed better. After all, the Hyuga family's soft fist is really powerful. Even if Hinata didn't learn it very well, it is enough to deal with the little girls nowadays.

"I wonder what Naruto-kun thought of my performance?"

Hinata muttered to herself, subconsciously looking for the figure of her sweetheart, but saw her sweetheart approaching the pink-haired girl and trying to please her, and her heart was instantly broken.

Xia Mu saw this and regretted that he had no melon seeds in his hand.

In the days that followed, Xia Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief after completing the task of copying the Will of Fire. He then had time to reconsider his previous thoughts in the special laboratory.

First, you need to come up with the design draft of the special shuriken, and it would be best to design some more special ninja tools before contacting Tiantian.

Of course, you can also look for Might Guy when you are free. Maybe you can make friends with him directly, but this route has a lot of uncertainty. The success rate of this route is higher every day.

But we have to catch both lines, and we can't let go of the Eight Gates.

Whether he could have the strength of a super shadow, or even the strength of the Six Paths, might all depend on the Eight Gates.

You know, the gravity training room mainly improves the strength of the physical body, and the upper limit of the use of the Eight Gates is higher. As long as the physical body is strong enough, it is possible to kick Six Paths Madara to death by opening only six gates.

In comparison, the limits of Hatake swordsmanship and Flying Thunder God are there, and they may not be as good as the Eight Gates.

"Why think so much? Just do it first!"

Taking advantage of his free time, Xia Mu wrote down the two special shurikens he had conceived on paper, and also conceived other types of ninja tools, such as short muskets and long muskets.

The ninja world seemed to already have guns, but they were matchlocks and flintlocks, which were rather cumbersome to use, and their rate of fire, range, and accuracy were impressive. In short, they were only suitable for ordinary people, and ninjas were completely dismissive. That was until Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, when someone seemingly used a Gatling gun and nearly killed Boruto, which was truly delightful.

Chapter 19 Everyday

Ahem, in short, the gun rifle may have great potential.

Design it first.

Matchlock guns and flintlock guns are inconvenient, so design a gunpowder that uses chakra to activate ammunition. It is best to use space-time ninjutsu in the magazine. Every time you fire the gun, new ammunition will be summoned. You can even summon special ammunition stuffed with detonating tags. Wouldn't that be awesome?
