I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Think so.

As Kakashi's spirit returned to his body, he glared sharply at Zabuza.

"!" by Zabuza!

Zabuza was already intimidated by Kakashi's simplified version of the Water Dragon Bullet, which had 12 seals and was twice the size.

He is clearly the one who possesses Water Release, so why can Kakashi, who copied it, do it better than the original?

As he was thinking this, he noticed that Kakashi had started forming hand seals again.

"酉-丑-午-巳-子-寅-戌-寅-巳_"

Ten seals.

Water Dragon Bullet 2 is produced.

So two dragons stood there.

However, Tobirama required that 8 seals be passed.

"酉-丑-午-巳-子-寅-戌——"

Kakashi could only continue practicing.

Water Dragon Bullet 3 is produced.

[Tobirama Senju]: Are you already proud of yourself after only 8 hand seals? Did I say anything when I only had 4 hand seals?

[Kidney Deficiency and Fire Shadow]...

Ok.

So Kakashi continued to simplify the hand seals, risking exhaustion.

··········

And the other side.

Kitahara Kaede, Naruto, and Sasuke were already sitting side by side on one side.

Within a small group, having a common enemy can unite people.

Having a common goal can also unite people.

However, there is one exception that can also bring people together: when everyone sits down together to enjoy the show.

Thus, through Kakashi's self-torture of being a poor student, a bottom student, an average student, a mediocre student, and then an elite, the three students of Team 7 achieved a harmonious relationship.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Perhaps due to being pressured too much, Kakashi Hatake transcended himself for a moment.

"Zi-chen-mao-yin——"

His hands formed four mudras in 1.5 seconds.

And that concludes with these four seals.

"Roar--"

A water dragon ascends to the sky.

Zabuza looked up in surprise.

Want to come again?

But the enormous water dragon had already crashed down, instantly trapping him.

Water Dragon Bullet Battle... Zabuza, the bottom-ranked loser, is defeated!

Chapter 019 Watch closely, Zabuza can be used like this! (Requesting data)

Kakashi Hatake has a total of hand seals.

Then, during this process, I used 21 soldier ration pills.

For ordinary new genin, this experience has been very valuable.

1. Soldier Rations Pills, made by specialized medical ninjas, provide energy for a short period without the need for food, while also rapidly replenishing chakra.

2. Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet does not have 44 hand seals. The correct hand seals are 12. Those who use 44 hand seals are bad students.

3. Eight marks on the water jet can be considered acceptable.

4. The Water Dragon Bullet with four seals is a high-quality item, and currently the only person who can achieve this is the Second Hokage, Tobirama.

5. The Second Mizukage of Konoha Village... no, the Second Hokage made a pact with the sea, so that he could perform large-scale ninjutsu as magnificent as those performed in water, even in places without water.

6. The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was suspected of not being from Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village)...

Kitahara Kaede and the other two stayed where they were and started taking notes.

Their mentor, Jonin Kakashi Hatake, collapsed due to lack of chakra. According to him, he would need to lie down for most of the day to recover.

“Being a ninja is a dangerous thing.” Naruto confirmed this once again.

"Becoming a top-tier ninja is extremely difficult." Uchiha Sasuke also fell into a state of self-isolation.

He harbored hatred and wanted revenge, but his own strength had not improved.

Now, watching Zabuza and Kakashi's one-sided battle, he immediately realized how shallow his understanding was.

So how could someone as weak as me possibly beat my older brother, who has been called a genius since childhood?

Kakashi can now form four hand seals to create a Water Dragon Bullet in 1.5 seconds, but according to Sasuke's understanding, his older brother, Uchiha Itachi... also possesses water-style chakra.

Itachi was a genius; in the past, he could use any ninjutsu after seeing it only once.

So... my brother can also release the Water Dragon Bullet with four seals.

"Life—" Uchiha Sasuke began to withdraw into himself.

Kitahara Kaede then took out a palm-sized notebook that she always carried with her and began to take notes.

Naruto looked over there and could see the records above.

The use of ninjutsu, the control of chakra, and hand seals are all related. If you master them to the extreme, you can omit the hand seals.

It's even possible to do without using hand seals.

This is a cheat sheet that Kitahara Kaede wrote after seeing Kakashi-sensei collapse.

"So..." Naruto became interested. "It's possible for me to simplify ninjutsu and make it instantaneous?"

“That’s possible,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Naruto is the male protagonist of the original work, and at the same time, he is also a saintly figure. This kind of male protagonist is inherently flawed.

However, Naruto's intelligence isn't very high, so he didn't develop in these directions. So, if we remind him to push in these directions, he might be able to grow more.

"Then I'll give it a try!" Naruto indeed became excited.

"If I could simplify the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, wouldn't I be able to instantly summon a bunch of clones to fight?"

"Then multiple VS1s might have unexpected effects!"

That was indeed unexpected.

You think I'm the only one? Actually, we have a whole group!

This is a battle mode suitable for those with a lot of chakra.

······

“However, I suggest you improve your physical skills first,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"After all, the multiple shadow clones are copied based on your original body as a template."

"Hmm—" Naruto thought it made a lot of sense.

Or rather, he felt that the people in the village disliked him, hated him, or even harbored malice towards him.

But he received warmth and respect from Kitahara Kaede.

Therefore, he believed in his training methods.

and……

After discovering that he could use ninjutsu freely, Naruto had a premonition that he might become stronger.

If you become stronger, strong enough, then you can protect the people you care about.

First and foremost is Kitahara, who helped me.

“I understand,” Naruto nodded.

He formed hand seals, and ten Narutos rushed into the three-bedroom apartment built by Kitahara Kaede.

There were three men inside.

To be precise, it was Zabuza and his two rogue ninja subordinates.

Originally, it was just a training room for two Chunin to be locked up as rookie Genin, but Zabuza was blown up by Kakashi's 8 Water Dragon Bullets, so now there is naturally Zabuza in the room.

········

"..." Zabuza.

"..." Two rogue ninja subordinates

"Naruto Uzumaki is here again!"

"If you're so capable, go for your real body instead of using shadow clones!"

Let's take a break!

The room became very lively.

Zabuza and his two companions, who were rogue ninjas from Kirigakure, never imagined that they would one day become... targets for someone else's training.

Outside the door, Naruto himself was quietly meditating, waiting to reap the experience points from the destruction of his shadow clones.

His physical skills weren't great, but he found that he was actually improving by doing this.

Moreover... the progress is extremely rapid.

If I had to give an evaluation... then I would say... he has reached the level of an elite Chunin.

This progress can almost be described as... phenomenal!

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's small group (^_-)]

[Minato Namikaze]: Naruto is working so hard. I can feel his burning desire to become stronger.

[Big Pillar Silly]: I can also feel him getting stronger. Seriously, this method is amazing!

[Big Pillar Silly]: This is the first time I've seen ninja taijutsu trained like this. I want to learn it too!

[Tobirama Senju]: Me too. I originally thought the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was used for espionage, but I never expected it could also be used to train physical skills.

[Tobirama Senju]: Kitahara Kaede's taijutsu training method is very strong! If it could be promoted, Konoha's combat power could at least double!

Tobirama praised him.

Kakashi, on the other hand, had already fainted due to lack of chakra, but that didn't matter, as his spirit could still enter the small group.

[Kidney Deficiency Naruto]: Sasuke looks rather pitiful as he desperately scavenges for military rations.

Everyone's eyes turned to Uchiha Sasuke.

You can see that Naruto's taijutsu experience points are increasing rapidly, and this is all thanks to the effect of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

However, Sasuke's chakra is insufficient, so he cannot learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and therefore cannot use a cheat-like ability like Naruto.

Although he tried using the Soldier's Talisman, it could only replenish his chakra, not increase it, so... he still couldn't reach the amount of chakra required for the Shadow Clone Technique.

finally.

Watching Naruto repeatedly enter that room with only three men, and then grow stronger...

Sasuke stood up.

"Kitahara-kun!"

Sasuke approached Kitahara Kaede and said, "I graduated first in my class from the Ninja Academy."

"It's just an empty reputation."
