However, he heard from his father that the technique was risky, so he didn't learn it.

If it's a physical clone, then it must be a shadow clone.

"A physical clone technique? Can you teach me?" Kazan, seizing the opportunity, shamelessly disregarded the fact that he had just beaten someone up and directly asked for the clone.

He felt that his words had definitely earned him a lot of goodwill, so giving him a bonus of gold coins wouldn't be unreasonable.

"Didn't you say you weren't interested in ninjutsu?"

Kakashi, as expected, did not refuse immediately.

In Konoha now, there are very few people who can understand and accept his father.

"Nonsense, I just don't have much talent for ninjutsu, so I had no choice but to learn taijutsu. I'm very eager to learn."

Kakashi is insane!

Can Shadow Clone Technique be compared to other techniques?

The deserter king casually mentioned 200 times the effort and leveled up like crazy. In two years, he mastered all six styles of martial arts and Haki. He even came up with something called Honesty Fist Bone, which took down one of the arm of the Evil King. He was regarded as one of the candidates for future Navy Admiral.

Kazan isn't greedy; five, six, seven, or eight times the effort is enough.

Not too much, right?

Kakashi's intuition told him that Kazan was not telling the truth.

However, he wouldn't mind letting Kazan learn this technique. Because his father's ninja way continues in Kazan.

He believed that if his father were still alive, he would definitely agree.

perhaps.....

Chapter 9: As long as you're strong enough, no problem is a problem.

"The technique you mentioned is inside."

Kakashi's house.

Before the road was even finished, Kazan urged Kakashi to return to his home. Although reluctant, Kakashi brought Kazan back anyway.

He then rummaged through his father's belongings and took out one of the sealed scrolls.

It is printed with all the techniques that Sakumo Hatake mastered and did not master in his life.

It's very comprehensive, encompassing all kinds of Five Elements Escape Techniques, Shadow Clone Technique, and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, among others.

Some of these techniques were collected by Sakumo Hatake himself, some were obtained from the village, and some were created by him.

According to regulations, after Sakumo Hatake's death, Konoha will most likely reclaim some important techniques.

Especially the forbidden technique of multiple shadow clones.

But perhaps out of guilt, Konoha did not confiscate Kakashi's property, leaving everything Hatake Sakumo to his son and descendants.

Kazan's gaze immediately locked onto the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

As an A-rank ninjutsu, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is much simpler than other A-rank ninjutsu.

This technique has only one hand seal, so simple that even Naruto could learn it at a glance.

Kazan memorized all the information and mastered it in no time.

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen shadow clones that looked exactly like Kazan appeared in the room.

Kazan's ninjutsu talent wasn't great, but his chakra reserves were enormous.

His body is extraordinary; it's not the glass cannon of the Naruto world, but rather modeled after the Marine hero Garp. The activity of his body's cells far surpasses that of ninjas in this world.

"So many?" Kakashi was also dumbfounded.

The multiple shadow clone technique is not without its flaws.

One of these is that chakra needs to be evenly distributed among the clones; excessive chakra consumption may lead to the death of the user.

Even his father could only create seven shadow clones at a time, but Kazan created ten with a wave of his hand, and he seemed to do it with ease.

"Good needle, let's go, Kakashi!"

Kazan turned and left with his shadow clones, much like those guys who pluck out ruthless ones.

Kakashi hadn't fully recovered yet, and followed him blankly back onto the street to work with Kazan on road repairs.

"Such a massive amount of chakra, yet lacking the corresponding ninjutsu talent, is truly a cruel twist of fate."

"However, even without ninjutsu talent, Kazan's taijutsu is amazing enough."

Kakashi touched his neck, still feeling the pain in his body from thinking about Kazan's "Undersea Fall" technique.

Yet, even such a genius has not graduated from the Ninja Academy.

"Hey, Kazan, why are you still staying at the Ninja Academy?"

He voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.

Kazan didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "Have you been happy since leaving the Ninja Academy, Kakashi?"

Happy?

After his father's suicide, Kakashi hadn't known what happiness felt like for a long time.

Even after graduation, he frequently clashed with other members of his team.

His ruthlessness and his philosophy of prioritizing tasks and efficiency made him unbearable for everyone in the team, who considered him excessively cold-blooded.

"Judging from your expression, you must be having a tough time." Kazan could tell what had happened just by looking at his face.

In the original story, Kakashi didn't return to normal until Team 7 debuted.

Having experienced his father's suicide, the sacrifice of his friend, and the killing of his teammate with his own hands, Kakashi once had self-destructive tendencies.

"Did you become a ninja just for fun?"

"Why not?"

Kazan spoke with righteous indignation and said it very easily.

"Life is only a hundred years long, and the short-lived profession of ninja may only last a few decades. Why is life so tiring every day?"

He then tried to persuade Kakashi, since Kakashi had just given him a lot of gold coins.

"What is your dream, Kakashi?"

dream.....

He never imagined that his initial dream was to become an excellent ninja like his father.

Now, he doesn't know.

So Kazan wasn't wrong; he was indeed confused.

Can't answer that?

"Then why not follow my example, strive to become stronger first, and then become the freest person in the entire ninja world!"

"If you can get to that point, then from now on, nothing you don't want to happen will ever happen again!"

None of that will ever happen again....

Kakashi was stunned again.

So-called freedom is a lie; what's real is not wanting tragedy to happen to you, right?

It was only then that Kakashi realized that Kazan, like himself, was also all alone, and... he probably only knew what his parents looked like from their funeral photos.

This guy is more pitiful than me, yet far stronger.

Compared to his recent defeat to Kazan, Kakashi felt that he had suffered a complete and utter defeat in this aspect.

Of course, the young Kakashi would never admit it himself.

"You say I'm bragging? I think you're the one who's the biggest braggart. You're clearly a guy with no talent for ninjutsu."

"Who says you can't become the strongest without ninjutsu talent? In the end, it's just that no one in history has done it yet. Because no one has gone in that direction, there is no path."

"Are you one of those guys who just assumes that because there's no road, it's definitely impassable, Kakashi?"

Kakashi did not reply.

Reason told him that this was impossible, but Kazan's eyes were very bright.

His father had told him before he died that if he didn't work harder, he would definitely be left behind by Kazan.

Kakashi dismissed it, thinking that someone who only knew taijutsu had little chance of becoming a ninja, so how could he possibly be ahead of him?

But after meeting Kazan tonight, he began to believe.

He still didn't think Kazan could surpass him, even though he had just been beaten up by Kazan. But that was because he hadn't been calm enough and had underestimated his opponent.

If they fought again, he might not be no match for Kazan.

However, with Kazan's reckless personality, he might actually do something truly extraordinary.

"Stop talking big. You're just a lowly genin, not even a student. Hurry up and fix the road, I'm sleepy."

"That's true, but then again, why did you only create one clone?"

Kakashi said that this question was a bit difficult to answer.

Should I admit that I have pitifully little chakra?

He was a genius who graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of five and made Konoha's history, okay?

It's so embarrassing to talk about this...
