Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 77 Two Magatama

Yunlei Gorge is characterized by towering peaks and a winding river.

Beneath a towering, precipitous peak stands a magnificent and imposing palace complex.

If you stand on a slightly higher vantage point, you can see countless blond-haired men moving about between the palace buildings.

"So many shadow clones!"

Seeing the countless shadow clones, Lei Yan was filled with shock.

"Using the properties of shadow clones for cultivation—is this truly something a human can do?"

"The characteristics of shadow clones?"

Sasuke was puzzled. Although he had heard of Shadow Clone Technique, Itachi did not teach him these advanced ninjutsu in order to help Sasuke heal from the pain of his father's death and to give him a carefree childhood.

"A shadow clone is a physical clone that possesses certain combat abilities, but its greatest strength lies in intelligence gathering."

Lei Yan explained, "Shadow clones possess the memories of the original body, and the memories and experiences they have gone through are also fed back to the original body."

Sasuke was immediately shocked: "So... if used for training, a few shadow clones would represent several times the training experience?!"

"That's right..."

Lei Yan nodded: "However, this kind of training method is probably only something Naruto-sama can do. Ordinary people simply cannot handle so many shadow clones, not to mention the immense mental stress that would occur after so many clones disappear..."

"That's amazing!"

"Incredible..."

"Naruto-sama is everywhere!"

Behind Lei Yan, both boys and girls looked on with longing.

Putting aside the outrageous amount of chakra, just the fact that it was a physical clone was enough to open the eyes of these ninja academy students.

Karin wiped her drool: "Hehe, you guys are lucky."

"How many clones are there here?"

Sasuke glanced around, his expression grave. He felt that Karin was lying to him.

There are dozens of clones here, just in this one courtyard.

"There are a total of 634 people. The standard training configuration is one wood clone and one thousand shadow clones."

From among the pile of blond hair, one of the clones who wasn't cultivating stepped forward and introduced himself.

"one thousand…"

Sasuke was even more shocked.

Lei Yan asked, puzzled, "What about the three hundred-plus clones?"

"I killed myself, but it's for the best, as it can greatly reduce the impact of memory regression on my original body."

The clone shrugged: "Let me introduce myself. I am the Wood Clone, specifically responsible for guiding the Shadow Clone training. I am Uzumaki Skin Peeler."

"Naruto-sama—"

Karin grumbled and sidled up to Uzumaki, pointing at Sasuke: "This arrogant guy wants to challenge you! Even though it's just a clone... he said he's no weaker than anyone under equal conditions."

brush brush --

One by one, the blond-haired men turned to look at the sound, making Sasuke's scalp tingle.

"I'm sorry, Naruto-sama."

Lei Yan looked embarrassed: "I was thinking of bringing my students here to see the difference between them and the strong, which is why I've taken the liberty of bothering you. If it's inconvenient for you..."

"There's nothing inconvenient about it."

Whirlpool Skinner casually pointed to a shadow clone: ​​"You're the one. Go spar with him."

"Huh? I'm almost out of chakra."

The shadow clone looked reluctant: "What if we lose? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

"Don't look down on people."

Sasuke scoffed, "A mere clone with one-thousandth of the power's strength is almost out of chakra..."

Whirlpool Peeling Skin: "No big problem, it's several times more than yours."

Sasuke: "..."

Uzumaki Peeler waved his hand: "Come on, there's no clone here with less chakra than him."

real or fake?

Sasuke's eye twitched, and he silently stepped forward, raising the seal of opposition.

He planned to go all out and kill the shadow clone in front of him as quickly as possible, and then challenge the wood clone in front of him in a high-profile manner, making this guy pay the price for underestimating him!

"Let's begin then."

The shadow clone also stepped forward, raising the opposing seal.

The moment their eyes met, Sasuke's lips curled into a victorious smile, and his eyes turned blood red.

Sharingan!

clang--

It was like crashing head-on into a solid city wall. Sasuke groaned and covered his head.

"Not bad, it can actually activate the Sharingan on its own."

The shadow clone appeared behind Sasuke in a flash, gently pressing its palm against the back of his neck.

"It's not over yet!"

Just as the shadow clone's hand was about to touch his neck, Sasuke suddenly bent down, turned around and swept his leg, while simultaneously throwing two shuriken upwards.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Sasuke was sent flying backward.

Before he could even reach the shadow clone's leg, he was kicked away.

The two shuriken that were thrown out were now hooked on the fingers of the shadow clone, spinning rapidly.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Sasuke adjusted his posture while rolling, then stood up and unleashed a massive fireball at his shadow clone.

"Hey!"

The shadow clone opened its mouth and spat out a large spit of water, a water ball exactly the same size as the Great Fireball.

The water ball and the fireball collided, producing a large amount of water vapor.

Suddenly, several more shuriken shot out from the steam and headed towards the shadow clone.

Noticing the barely visible steel wire on the shuriken, the shadow clone dodged the shuriken.

With a wind-style chakra nature transformation applied to his hand, he effortlessly severed the steel wire on the sword in his hand.

He cut the steel wire with just a wave of his hand?

Sasuke gritted his teeth, not understanding how the other party had done it.

Seeing the shadow clone's hooking motion, it charged straight at the opponent.

Suddenly, just as the two figures were about to make contact, a blond-haired man in the crowd betrayed them and launched an attack from behind the shadow clone.

Bang!

After a powerful and heavy slash, the traitorous blond-haired man was pinned to the ground by the shadow clone.

"To become like me? Not a bad idea."

The shadow clone chuckled and waved his hand to disperse Sasuke's phantom clone. The blond-haired figure at his feet also transformed into Sasuke's appearance.

"Unfortunately, the chakra is too dazzling."

Unlike in the past, now that Naruto possesses Sage Chakra, he is essentially in his normal Sage Fox Mode.

His perception could even span most of the ninja world. At such a close distance, even if he didn't consciously perceive it, Sasuke's actions couldn't be hidden from him.

"You lost, Sasuke-kun."

A peanut-sized chakra sphere gathered at his fingertips, and the clone calmly watched Sasuke at his feet, who was filled with resentment.

"Hey—Naruto-sama!"

"So cool! Naruto-sama is so cool!"

"Sasuke, don't be disappointed, after all, your opponent is Lord Naruto..."

Not far away, the girls watching the game let out screams.

"The difference in strength seems quite large."

Omoi, with a lollipop in his mouth, remarked with a touch of admiration, "No wonder he's the man destined to be the Raikage's successor."

"And he's handsome too, he has a quality that's different from you childish people."

Karui looked on with admiration: "He's incredibly strong, handsome, and a celebrity. I wonder which woman will end up with such a perfect guy."

"Of course, it's me!"

Karin's face flushed with excitement as she mumbled incoherently, then suddenly swung her fist, displaying a smug and self-satisfied expression.

"Heh heh! See that? You arrogant Sasuke! This is the difference between you and Lord Naruto! Why don't you hurry up and become his apprentice?"

Becoming an apprentice...

Remembering his bet with Karin, Sasuke's face flushed red as he stared intently at the shadow clone standing on his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Are you... really a shadow clone?"

The shadow clone smiled slightly and exploded into smoke with a bang.

It really was a clone!

Turning to look in Karin's direction, he saw her smugly telling Uzumaki about the bet on becoming his apprentice.

Remembering how he had confidently declared he would surpass his opponent, only to fail to defeat even a shadow clone with a fraction of the opponent's strength, Sasuke felt a burning sensation on his face, his fair cheeks turning even redder.

And it was in this extreme humiliation that a cold chakra surged into his eyes!

Under the astonished gaze of Uzumaki, four jet-black tomoe slowly rotated in Sasuke's eyes.

Two-tomoe Sharingan, awakened!
