Chapter 17: Shuriken Shadow Clone
Although Sakura had promised to teach Boruto a new technique, there was no time before the Chunin exam, and soon, the first exam, Cultural Theory, arrived.
Boruto passed the first exam without any problems, but he looked a little depressed and didn't seem to be doing as well as he wanted.
The exam was held outdoors and had only one true/false question, allowing candidates who chose different answers to stand in different circles and set them to pass the exam as long as they did not dye it black.
But in fact, the question is completely imaginary, and there is a pool of ink under the two circles, as long as you try not to fall into the inkpool when the ground is opened, you will be considered to have passed.
The person who wrote the question was Sakai, and this question made many people speechless and crazy: "Isn't it a theory test?!", and testing the candidate's adaptability in the exam is also within the scope of the test questions.
Originally, it was a simple matter, just throw a rope with a hook or shuriken attached to it and nail it to the ground to prevent yourself from falling, or use chakra adsorption or some other ninja to nail yourself to the inner wall of the pool. These actions are basic for Shinobi.
It's a pity that after seeing a pool of pitch-black ink, many people think that they have chosen the wrong one, and they do not find the true meaning of the exam questions, making it difficult for candidates to perceive the real content of the exam, and it is also the usual way to brush off most people in the first round of the Zhongnin exam every time.
Boruto was also among the large group of people who gave up, but he was saved by Zoryana and Yaxiao, who were aware of it, at the critical moment.
However, Naruto still sent Boruto a congratulatory email, and although Boruto was unforgiving, blaming Naruto for not coming to see him in person, he was actually a little happy in his heart.
Then,Plunge into Sakura's hard training again。
……………………………………………………
Behind the Ninja Academy-
Boruto looked at the several targets arranged in the woods, the light was extremely dim and a small amount of sunlight was sprinkled in the gaps in the canopy to create a chiaroscuro contrast, and many trees also obscured part of the targets, which made it slightly difficult to lock the targets by visual inspection alone, at least for Shimoshinobi.
Boruto looked at the target, his feet moving little by little, which was subconsciously looking for a position that would be easy to shoot at the target. He'd just lost his shuriken a few times and performed some of the new fur techniques he'd just learned, but unfortunately he didn't hit at all.
"Wait," Sakura pointed to a small circle about a meter in diameter at Boruto's feet, "I said you weren't allowed to leave this circle, right?"
"Bah-" Boruto gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and roared at Sakura, "There are so many obstacles to the target from here, how can you hit it! There are so many trees, even if you use a tightrope, you will be tripped!"
"It seems that I thought about it this time, but didn't you think about using the new technique I gave you?" Sakura said.
"Well, I thought it was a new technique, and even my father and Konohamaru-sensei knew it. Besides, if you want to hit a target behind the cover, it doesn't make sense to increase the attack range, right?" Boruto said.
"Well," Sakura sighed, as if the number of sighs Ichito had increased during this time, "that technique doesn't just increase the range of attacks, I'll demonstrate." Sakura took out a shuriken, aimed it in the general direction of the target, and threw it violently.
The shuriken spun rapidly, cutting through an arc, bypassing the cover in front of the target, but judging from the arc of the arc and the speed of flight, it had deviated sixty degrees and could not hit the target. At this time, Sakura-chan sealed-
Immortal Method・Shuriken Shadow Clone――――
"Bang!" From the side of the shuriken that was spinning with its back to the target, another of the same shuriken immediately appeared, and then the two shuriken collided together.
"Ding!" The shadow clone shuriken was hit and disappeared, and the real shuriken flew towards the target due to the collision, and was accurately inserted in the center of the target's circle.
"Shuriken shadow clone, it's not just a technique to increase the range of attack, it's also very helpful for surprise attacks, otherwise, it's enough to throw a large shuriken directly. This era is different from our previous era, the steel and printing industries have developed by leaps and bounds, and the thermal weapons of ordinary people have also improved, and now the price of forbearance tools and storage scrolls is less than one-fifth of what we were back then. ”
"Speaking of which," Boruto said aloud, as if remembering something, "whether it's a shuriken or a tightrope, it's Zoryana's specialty, right?" I mean...... The Uchiha clan. ”
"So what? I'm not from the Uchiha clan. ”
"Isn't it? Obviously, both of your eyes are similar to Uncle Sasuke's!"
"Ahh
"Bang bang............" Sakura suddenly divided into nine clones, each of which was holding a blue-white spiral pill the size of a lead ball.
"Shadow clone and spiral pill are what you're good at, right?"
"yes, after all, it's all what Dad is good at, and I've learned it quickly. ”
"Listen, your father's worst technique is actually clone, and Spiral Pill also took a lot of time to learn it when his hand was injured. Sakura said, "Despite this, he has mastered all of these A-rank ninjutsu and is higher than their founders." Boruto, you're just stained with your father's light. Sakura said seriously.
The inheritance of ninjutsu is a very wonderful thing, and the original six immortals were taught by the Great Barrel Wood Feather Cloth to the Ninjutsu Sect, and it was not used in the meaning of ninjutsu, which was invented by his son Indra. When a person awakens the blood inheritance and creates the corresponding ninjutsu, or focuses on the study of certain techniques to reach the peak level, this kind of thing will be engraved in the genes, and the probability of passing it on to the next generation will be greatly increased.
"By the way, Boruto, although you are easy at learning Shadow Clone and Spiral Pill, your chakra strength is not as strong as Naruto's strength at this age, so your Shadow Clone is more suitable for raiding than as a numerical advantage. But let's talk about this cultivation next time. Sakura continued to preach.
"Hmph, I know. Boruto glared at Sakura and turned his gaze to the target again............
Unfortunately, it seems that Boruto is not given more time to practice, and the distance between the first and second rounds of exams is less than a day.
