Chapter 8: Shadow Clones
"Bang", "Huo", "Huh-Peng! β
The sword shadow slumped to the ground, a stinging pain in his back.
The boy grabbed Jian Ying's right leg, and his hand threw him away, hitting the debris piled up on the training ground, and the moment he hit, Jian Ying felt that his internal organs were about to come out.
"There's no comparison!" A hoarse voice came out of the sword shadow's mouth, and he reached out to wipe the blood from his nose.
The impact was so hard that the whole back began with labor pains and continued to feel numb until now. The mere act of lifting his arm also made his aching eardrum swell, and there was a false illusion in his perception that the arm received the instructions of the brain, but it seemed to be delayed, and the back of the hand touched the face, which felt like it was touching the skin of a dead animal.
"Stop. That's it! Archina, who was standing on the edge of the field, spoke, and after the voice appeared, the boy made a mark, and his body disappeared into smoke with a "bang".
Jian Ying, who was annoyed that his strength was not as good as that of people before, scolded again when he saw this scene, damn, the guy who solved himself so easily, turned out to be a shadow clone, and there is no reason for it.
Thinking of this, Jian Ying, who couldn't get up in the first place, didn't want to get up even more, but now he was really haggard.
"Is there any point in three years of desperate cultivation?" Originally, I was going to show a little bit in front of Achina, and by the way, I wanted some ninjutsu from his mouth.
Now! From the beginning of the battle, the sword shadow was completely pressed and beaten, not a single attack on the other party, and the whole process did not even take forty seconds, how miserable it was.
"Sword Shadow, well done."
"That's good?!" Sword Shadow scoffed, then fainted.
When he woke up, he immediately felt a sharp stabbing pain in his back, and the pain made him can't help but make a sound.
"Woke up?!"
The voice was full of surprises, and the owner of the voice, Kenkage, was familiar, it was Uncle Shinnosuke.
"Archina is too reckless to hurt you so badly. Don't talk, your internal organs are damaged, and you don't want to do strenuous activities for a month. I know what you're worried about, but Achna has the school to deal with. And I'm just saying that you can't do strenuous exercise for a month, and ordinary action is still okay. Don't think about it, get a good night's sleep, and you'll be out of bed in a week. β
The sword shadow didn't say anything, and shook his head quietly. He felt the wound on his body, it was indeed more serious, but he didn't hold a grudge, because the boy brought by Achina made him feel a lot of pressure.
"A peer who doesn't even know his name can beat me so easily, it seems...... I still haven't tried hard enough! β
Although he worked hard, he always adhered to the bottom line and did not squeeze his body too much. Compared with Mike Kay and Xiao Li's training, it is not half a star worse.
This blow made him realize that the world of ninjas really relies on blood.
Shinnosuke Kuiyama left the hospital, saw Achina at the door, walked up to him and said, "I didn't ask just now, what's the matter!" With you staring, why did you hurt so badly. β
Archie was a little embarrassed, as if something was hard to talk about.
"What can't be said. Let's go, let's have a drink! You've been busy with things since you got back to the village, and you didn't have time to get together. β
Achina didn't refuse, he also wanted to have a drink, "Okay! β
Compared to the area around the village, the most central area of Konoha Village is as bright as daytime, and there are not as many people coming and going on the street as there are during the day, but it attracts a lot of business for the shops.
The two entered a store, ordered a few dishes, and drank a bottle each.
"That kid is good, he still has strength." After drinking for a while, Achina suddenly spoke.
Kuishan didn't interrupt and listened to what he was saying.
Archina raised his glass and took a sip and continued, "I was hoping that he would see opponents who are better than him, especially his peers. But among the people I knew, there didn't seem to be such a child, so I used my clone to fight him. β
Kui Shan couldn't help but interrupt at this time: "Use a shadow clone? Since you did it yourself, why did you hurt him so badly! β
Hearing him say this, Archie's face was even more embarrassed, and he said, "Didn't you pay attention?" I wanted to crush this kid to death without injury, but it turned out to be ......" He shrugged, and Archie wanted to make Kenkage understand that his strength was far from strong. Attacking with this belief, he missed the last moment and failed to control his strength in a hurry, and the sword shadow was tragic!
Kuishan sighed, he didn't blame Achina, everything was for the good of the child, so that he could understand the importance of strength earlier. "You've hit him a little badly. I know this kid, although he is silent and has no quarrel with the world, but he is very arrogant in his heart, and I am afraid of such a blow......"
"If he can't stand this blow, it's better for him not to be a ninja." Achina disagrees with him, and Kuishan wants to tell Kenkage the truth so that he knows that the person he is fighting against is actually Achina's doppelganger. "It's not been a few years since the Great War, and at that time, the strength expressed by the sword shadow could be pulled into the battlefield in a state of emergency. Although the world is different, I still think that he should be treated with better requirements. As a group of us, we can see less and less of each other. The stronger the strength, the better the chances of surviving. If you really want to protect him, why let him go on the path of a ninja. β
"Alright! You are better at these things than I am. ββAre you going to stay at school in the future? Isn't that a waste of your skills! Shinnosuke thought that he was the first to teach Kenkage, and now it was too late to say anything, so he ended the topic.
Kenkage lay in the hospital for a week, and during this time, Akido Nagata came to visit him with snacks since he knew he was hospitalized.
The little fat man excitedly told him that he had started to learn another secret art, but unfortunately, that secret art was still only a clue, and now he was perfecting the meat/bullet chariot to make it more attackable.
A week later, Kenkage returns to school, and as it happens, he is placed in Akimichi Nagata's class.
"It's all raw faces, and there are no acquaintances." I thought I could see a certain character in the future, but unfortunately, none of the people he knew were characters who would appear in the future Hokage world, even Mike Kay, most of the time he only heard his voice and didn't see him.
The teacher in the class was a little old, his temples were white, and he still had a scar on his neck. From the old ninja, the sword shadow smelled the breath of the battlefield.
But the difference is that the older ninjas who have been on the battlefield feel that Kenkage seems to be slow to react when doing things. This couldn't help but make Jian Ying guess that the other party was no longer suitable for the front line because of his serious injuries, especially neurological injuries, and was transferred to the school.
However, in the face of a group of little kids, Kenkage really didn't believe that a ninja who had been on the battlefield with a reduced reaction speed could teach them well.
Strong strength does not mean that you can teach, education is also a science, and geniuses can understand their own skills from the details. But not everyone is a genius, and even geniuses are only a few, not to mention that there are too many geniuses who die on the way to growth, and an excellent group of teachers is particularly important to a force and even a country.
The semester has just begun, and Kenkage has learned very little.
Although there are many people entering the school, the number is not worth mentioning compared to the population of Konoha. Together with those who secretly entered the shadows and roots, Konoha was able to maintain such a new blood infusion, which was one of the signs that Konoha became the strongest of the five powers.
Every day I go to school, I don't have much time to cultivate, and there are a lot of things in school that are common sense, which is rare common sense for ordinary ninjas.
For example, in the knowledge of various national geographies, it introduces where to set up camps, how to survive when you are alone, and how to use the terrain to hide your body.
A lot of knowledge, a lot of it will save your life in the future.
Of course, what is taught now is very basic things, and if this knowledge is used on the battlefield, the old birthday star hangs himself - looking for death. Deeper knowledge will be taught in the upper grades, and now it's time to give everyone a general idea of the basics.
After a month of recuperation, the sword shadow finally recovered.
Unlike in martial arts novels, his strength has not improved, but because he has not exercised for a long time, his reaction has been much slower.
But the sword shadow is not without gains, and from Archie's body, there is a B-level ninjutsu, the technique of the shadow clone!
Originally, he still wanted multiple shadow clones, but it was later explained to him by Archina the dangers of that technique, which made Sword Shadow dispel his idea.
"When my equipment is turned on and I have the ability to recover quickly, I believe that I should be qualified to learn multiple shadow clones at that time!"
Jian Ying was not in a hurry, he had just recovered from his injury, and Jian Ying couldn't wait to devote himself to learning and cultivating. In the past few years, his time to write novels has gradually decreased, and due to the accumulation of funds, coupled with the pensions of his relatives, his life is not inferior to that of Konoha and others, if it weren't for the sake of cultivating and preparing a high-quality diet for himself, he could even live without doing anything until he was thirty years old.
Uncle Archina appears many times in school, but more often than not, Kenkage can't find his person, and the other party is in the wilderness survival subject of the senior year. I heard that in a month's time, three students were sent to the hospital for attending his classes, and they stayed for three or four days, and other students with minor injuries were even more.
After hearing these situations, Jian Ying had to sigh at the difference of the times, if it was the world before him, such a teacher would have been over a long time ago, how could he continue to stay in school.
Of course, the reason why not many people made a fuss was that the medical expenses of the injured students were borne by the village. Otherwise, if you go to the hospital several times a semester, even if the medical costs are low, ordinary families will not be able to bear it.
"What kind of doppelganger is this?" On the training ground, Akimichi Nagata saw the sword shadow using the shadow clone and asked curiously.
One of the sword shadows shook his head and said to him, "This is the shadow clone. It's a physical clone technique, I've been practicing it for a while, and now although I can succeed, I can only separate one. β
The stronger the control, the more doppelgangers can be separated, and one of the conditions required for school graduation is to separate two clones without entities.
It is not easy for Sword Shadow to be able to do this far. Because he doesn't have many chakras, he will give half to the shadow clone, and the clone can only last for a few minutes.
It has not been successful before, and the key is the total amount of chakra he has.
In fact, Sword Shadow is very strange about a certain condition of the shadow clone, that is, after the sealing technique is mastered, the clone that is separated, if the chakra he carries cannot support him for five minutes, the shadow clone will not be able to be used successfully.
Once the shadow clone technique is successfully cast, it shows that the clone can last for more than five minutes.
Since the shadow clone technique creates entities, it can be kept for a longer time by extracting/refining chakra, but when the clone is disarmed, the memory of the clone will be instantly transmitted back to the main body, so no one will keep the clone for a long time. There is too much information pouring into the brain in an instant, and the damage caused by its impact on the brain is no less than the mental damage that a master of illusion can do to himself.
This was something that Archina repeatedly emphasized to him, and he also said that it was for this reason that the technique of multiple shadow clones was banned from being located. Because this ninjutsu is put on the battlefield, it is likely to cause several clones to suddenly disarm after one or two battles, thus greatly reducing the body's physical strength and even fainting.
"This ninjutsu requires a strong recovery ability to use, if the equipment opening conditions are met, I must let the heraldic shield be activated, and then use this cheat to brush up on experience."
Akido Nagata's eyes lit up, he heard his father's uncle say this ninjutsu, so he said, "This is a B-grade ninjutsu!" β
"yes. So hurry up and get the hang of it. β
"Hmm. I also want to hurry up and master my newly learned ninjutsu. Seeing that he had set a goal, Akimichi Nagata said what he wanted, and he looked at his hands, and he knew the reason for Kenkage's injury: a young man of their age who seriously injured Kenkage without being injured.
Everyone has a competitive spirit, especially Nagata and Kenkage have been staying for a long time, and they have a friendship with each other, naturally that guy is very hateful, since the other party is from the same village, it is very unreasonable to hurt people so badly, so Nagata made up his mind to wait until he masters the secret art of the family and meets that person again, and he must teach him a good lesson.
