I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Ichiraku Ramen!

Shi Yu looked at the steaming noodles in front of her, which seemed to have had extra ingredients added.

"thank you boss!"

Uncle Ichiraku nodded to Shigure, "Eat up! Naruto's guest is our guest too."

Is this someone helping Naruto entertain him? Uncle Ichiraku is indeed very nice to Naruto.

Naruto looked excitedly at the extra-large ramen in front of him. "I'm starting!"

It does look pretty good, Shigure thought, gazing at the ramen in front of her.

In the Naruto world, there's an unwritten rule that ninjas who don't eat ramen aren't strong.

Only by eating Ichiraku Ramen can you prove you are a true strongman.

Mighty Ramen!

Shi Yu smiled and began to eat as well.

At the same time, I'm even more curious about what's wrong with Naruto today?

Did you suddenly realize you wanted to deepen your relationship with yourself?

We usually get along fairly well; we wouldn't call each other best friends, but we're friends nonetheless.

"Just tell me what's wrong, Naruto. If I can help you, I will!"

Shigure spoke softly, while Uncle Ichiraku and Ms. Ayame, who were pretending to be busy cooking ramen, listened quietly.

Upon hearing Shigure's words, Naruto stopped making ramen and turned to look at Shigure with some gratitude.

"Thank you, Shiyu! The reason I asked you out today is because I'm worried about my graduation exam tomorrow!"

"You said you were confident you could pass, and I could feel it too. You seem to have changed a lot lately; you seem to have become stronger!"

At this point, Shigure had already guessed what Naruto wanted to say.

“We were about the same before, but you suddenly became stronger, leaving me as the bottom of the pack, I…”

Naruto said, gently clenching his fist, "I want to ask you, how did you manage to change so much in such a short time! I want to become stronger too!"

really!

Shigure looked at Naruto and said, "Get stronger! I don't know how to explain this to you, but... if you want to pass tomorrow's graduation exam, I can help you!"

The first part of the sentence disappointed Naruto, who thought Shigure had some secret.

But what he said next made Naruto smile again.

"Really...really?"

Shigure picked up her ramen bowl. "This is my way of repaying you for treating me to a meal!"

"Boss, give him another bowl, with extra toppings..."

Uncle Ichiraku nodded, and Shigure quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need, one bowl is enough, I don't have that much of an appetite!"

As he spoke, a soup spoon was handed to him, and Uncle Ichiraku flashed his pearly white teeth. "Then let's add some more toppings! We won't serve noodles; this is a complimentary side dish for first-time customers!"

Is it a gift?

I don't think it's because it's my first time here!

Shigure glanced at Naruto beside him and thought, "Is this the protagonist's halo?"

To get a ramen shop owner to treat him unconditionally well.

However, Naruto's childhood was indeed very pitiful.

"Alright, eat up!"

"The graduation exam is tomorrow. If you want to pass smoothly, we need to make the most of tonight!"

Upon hearing about the graduation exam, Naruto immediately sped up, instantly emptying the extra-large ramen in front of him.

The two arrived at a deserted park lake.

Naruto looked at Shigure excitedly, "Shigure, what do I need to do?"

Upon hearing this, Shigure glanced at Naruto.

"The graduation exam tomorrow will actually just be a test of one technique chosen from the Three Body Techniques!"

Three Bodies Technique?

"Really?"

"Ok!"

"Oh no, I'm alright with transformation and substitution techniques, but shadow clone techniques..."

Seeing Naruto's mournful face.

Shi Yu smiled. "So tonight I'm going to make your clone technique reach the graduation exam level... no, I should say exceed the graduation exam requirements."

"It exceeds the requirements of the exam!" Naruto stared blankly at Shigure.

"Is it really possible?"

Shigure nodded. "You only need to learn one ninjutsu."

A ninjutsu?

So simple?

"The technique I'm about to teach you is called the Shadow Clone Technique!"

Chapter 54 The Night Is My Stage

Speaking of the Shadow Clone Technique...

In the original manga, Naruto learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. In reality, the only difference between the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Shadow Clone Technique is the number of clones.

A large number of clones results in multiple shadow clones; a small number results in the Shadow Clone Technique.

Shigure's ability to create multiple clones can also be called the Multiple Clones Technique.

"You understand how to form hand seals now, right?"

"They've also told you the specific flow of chakra!"

"Oh, right, Naruto, remember this: when you use this technique, try to create as many clones as possible!"

Shi Yu gave him instructions.

Naruto listened with an excited expression.

Because of the Nine-Tails, Naruto's control over chakra has become very poor.

Because of the interference of the Nine-Tails' chakra, in other words, it is impossible to perform precise operations, but if it is not a precise operation, then there is no problem.

If Shigure had done what he just said, a crude version of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique could have been fatal to an ordinary person.

After all, there isn't a terrifying amount of chakra to squander.

But Naruto is different. Naruto can use his chakra at will and has the vitality of a cockroach.

No need to worry at all.

"Then I'm coming!"

"The art of multiple shadow clones!"

boom!

As Naruto's voice rang out, a dense cloud of white smoke exploded around the lake in an instant.

The first time he used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, he created nearly a thousand clones.

Naruto stared in disbelief at the clones that were exactly like him.

One second!

Two seconds!

Three seconds!

It took Naruto a good ten seconds to come to his senses, and his gaze toward Shigure was filled with joy and gratitude.

"Shigure! Thank you so much, thank you so much! Your technique is amazing!"

"With this technique, you won't have any problems with your graduation exam tomorrow."

As Shigure spoke calmly, Naruto released his clone, overjoyed, and rushed towards Shigure, embracing her tightly.

"Thank you so much, Shigure!"

"Didn't you treat me to ramen? Consider this a return gift!"

"Shiyu, I can treat you to dinner again tomorrow..."

As Naruto said this, he seemed to realize that his wallet was not full, and he probably wouldn't even have enough for his normal living expenses this month!
