40Powerful clone techniqueAI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 40: Powerful Clone Technique,
"Done!"
Naruto flashed and arrived beside the three saplings.
One of the saplings glowed brightly.
With a light touch of his finger, a stream of light entered Naruto's glabella.
Naruto subconsciously closed his eyes, and scene after scene of knowledge continuously decomposed and merged in his mind.
After a long time, Naruto slowly opened his eyes.
He had mastered the essence of the first stage of Clone Technique.
Flesh Clone.
"Very strong."
Naruto smiled.
This Clone can cultivate the body and Ninjutsu, and besides a slight mechanical feel, there is no difference from the main body.
"It's somewhat similar to the Four Symbols Fist."
Naruto pondered, intending to give it a try.
With a thought, Naruto arrived in the Seal Space.
The Nine-Tailed, who was drawing, was startled: "Why are you here? Is something wrong?"
It felt a bit strange.
The current Naruto should be planting vegetables in his so-called vegetable patch.
Why did he suddenly come here without any reason?
Could something have happened?
Naruto shook his head, letting the Nine-Tailed do its own thing, while he sat cross-legged.
In his mind, he began to recall the theoretical knowledge of Clone Technique that had just flooded in and been learned.
It was very rich and full of ingenious ideas.
The Nine-Tailed put down its pen and looked at Naruto seriously.
Naruto rarely looked like this.
What was he going to do?
The Nine-Tailed had a feeling that Naruto was about to do something earth-shattering again.
But what could it be?
Curiosity.
Expectation.
The Nine-Tailed's eyes rested on Naruto, quietly waiting.
It believed that it would be a witness to history.
Naruto ignored the Nine-Tailed, and after familiarizing himself with the theoretical knowledge, he slowly raised his hand.
Forming a hand seal.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his body twisted and changed, and wisps of blood mist continuously spread around him.
In just a moment, a person identical to Narutoappeared beside him.
The Nine-Tailed suddenly stood up.
Flesh Clone?
It saw clearly that the Clone in front of it was not a normal Clone Technique at all.
But a person of flesh and blood.
How was this possible?
The Nine-Tailed looked at Naruto in horror, its tail unconsciously flicking.
It thought of what Naruto had said to Minato Namikaze not long ago.
At the time, it had only thought it was a joke.
Now it seemed, it had been too hasty.
It turned out the clown was me.
The more it hadn't believed it then, the more it felt like it was slapping itself now.
"You really succeeded??"
The Nine-Tailed's voice was a bit hoarse.
Naruto opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at himself beside him.
No consciousness.
He needed to input commands, and after the commands were given, this Clone would cultivate according to them.
How to put it?
It was not bad.
"Mm, I succeeded. This is just the first stage; I still need to improve it later."
This still needs improvement?
You want to go to heaven.
The Nine-Tailed looked at Naruto speechlessly.
It had always known that he was a monster, but wasn't he being too monstrous?
Too strong.
Second Hokage Senju Tobirama was a genius who could create his own Ninjutsu.
But the Nine-Tailed felt that in front of Naruto, he was just a little brother.
Transformation Technique was already powerful enough, and now Clone Technique was the same.
What about Body Replacement Technique?
A hint of anticipation quietly rose in the Nine-Tailed's heart.
It really wanted to see what Naruto would turn Body Replacement Technique into.
"Not good enough."
Naruto shook his head: "I split out half of my strength."
The Nine-Tailed was stunned.
Understood.
This was like splitting a watermelon in half, weakening the main body's strength.
"Then that's really not good enough, but can the Clone be recalled?"
"Yes."
'Then it's not a big problem.'
Naruto nodded upon hearing this: "The problem is indeed not very big."
Currently, he was still in the hidden stage, and it was very good for the main body and the Clone to cultivate together.
"There's also a crucial point."
What?
The Nine-Tailed looked at Naruto vaguely.
This Clone was already very strong, wasn't it? And there was still a crucial point?
Was there something else it hadn't thought of?
"Eight Gates."
The Nine-Tailed's pupils suddenly constricted upon hearing this, and it gasped, its voice cracking again: "How did I not think of that?"
Since the Clone had flesh and blood.
At a critical moment, directly activate Eight Gates, opening all Eight Gates directly.
Wouldn't that be invincible?
This point would naturally be difficult for others to achieve, but for Naruto, it was different.
Naruto's talent was immense.
And there was a continuous supply of spiritual spring water and vegetables.
Body cultivation could almost steadily improve.
Now that the Flesh Clone could practice at double the speed, it was already powerful enough.
But the most powerful thing was the Eight Gatesthat Naruto mentioned.
No!
There was another point, if Naruto became strong, he could perfectly cooperate with the Clone for a sudden attack.
In short, this Flesh Clone would definitely not be weaker than a forbidden Jutsu.
The Nine-Tailed looked at Naruto with numb eyes.
It really wanted to open Naruto's head now to see what kind of structure was inside.
"This Clone will cultivate here. I am very weak now and need to eat."
Naruto issued the command.
He would also throw in some spiritual spring water and vegetables to provide energy.
...
"A Transformation Technique and a Clone Technique are already so powerful; what kind of strength will be unleashed when combined with Body Replacement Technique?"
Naruto was a little excited.
But for now, he should first replenish himself.
He was very weak now.
"Oh, and there's Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Naruto thought while eating.
Rasengan, Flying Thunder God, Three Body Technique, and Eight Gates, these were all initially mastered.
Too much to chew, and Flying Thunder God was the most important.
But Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu also had to be put on the agenda.
This was a god-tier skill in the later stages.
No,
Even in the early stages, in Naruto's hands, it could unleash powerful strength.
Especially now, excluding Flying Thunder God, the Rasengan's invisible bombardment was impossible to guard against.
By then, he would be a human bomber.
Hiss!
Thinking of that astonishing scene, Narutotrembled with excitement.
By then, he would go find Deidara and tell him what real art was, which was explosion.
"Awesome!"
Naruto ate his fill, cleaned up the table, and returned to the Seal Space.
At this moment, his Clone was mechanically cultivating.
The Nine-Tailed sat beside him, looking indescribably complicated.
Organizing its words, the Nine-Tailed said somewhat fawningly: "Uh, can I cultivate this?"
"I don't know."
Naruto was stunned.
This was a Flesh Clone; by the way, the Nine-Tailed didn't have so-called flesh and blood, did it?
"Forget it."
The Nine-Tailed thought about it; it couldn't cultivate it at all, so learning it wouldn't be of much use.
...
"Sigh, I'm back here again."
At the same time,
Outside the Konoha Village gate, a white-haired man with his arms crossed, carrying a scroll bag, stared at Konoha Village with a complex expression.
"I wonder how Konoha Village has been recently. I should go take a look."
Jiraiya quietly entered Konoha Village without causing any stir.
"It's actually true."
The Uchiha and the Village had actually reached such an irreconcilable point now.
And that mysterious person, listening to their description, why did it feel somewhat familiar?
Jiraiya was numb.
"Jiraiya-senpai."
Jiraiya looked in the direction of the voice, Nara Shikaku was quietly looking at him.
He was still holding a pile of documents.
These documents...
For some reason, a bad feeling suddenly rose in Jiraiya's heart.
