By the river.
Kanpū's boredly watched Naruto, Karin and Hinata pecking at each other on the river. The constant chirping making him sleepy.
At a certain moment, Kanpū suddenly sensed a familiar aura. He snapped out of his daze and turned around to see a frail figure slowly walking away like a walking corpse.
The figure was wearing a purple cloak with a symbol of a Poke Ball on the back, along with their short stature and sharply defined hair…
'Sasuke?'
'Why did he come?'
'Why did he leave without saying a word?'
'Why does his back look so lonely, like a lonely dog~.'
Kanpū had 10,000 question marks in his mind, and then shook his head: 'Sasuke isn't my responsibility, I can't control him.
"Kanpū-sensei!"
At this time, the pecking battle of Naruto's group of three also came to an end.
Naruto, with a bruised face, energetically ran back, splashing in the river, "I won!!"
"Oh, really?" Kanpū looked towards Karin and Hinata, and found that the two of them were standing on the river with their hands on their knees and panting heavily with mouth wide open, looking very tired.
'Did you really win?'
'I don't even want to point out your defeat!'
"Kanpū-sensei, can you teach me Shadow Clone Technique now!" Naruto looked at Kanpū expectantly.
'It's okay if it's just Shadow Clone Technique…' Kanpū then said with a smile: "Of course. Now, pay attention."
Kanpū formed hand seal with his hands, with his two fingers crossed, and lightly shouted: "Shadow Clone Technique!"
Boom!
Light smoke rose, and a person identical to him appeared beside Kanpū.
"Did you see it clearly?" Kanpū asked, then casually dispelled the clone.
Naruto looked conflicted. He did see it clearly, well, he knew for many years that the Shadow Clone Technique requires that hand seal, but knowing and executing were different for him.
"Kanpū-sensei…" Naruto looked at Kanpū with a pitiful expression.
Kanpū looked at him in disappointment: "If you spent more time reading books, you wouldn't be this dumb."
Naruto lowered his head in shame.
Kanpū cleared his throat and said: "Listen carefully, when forming the hand seal, you need to evenly distribute your Chakra into two halves, and then…"
At this moment, Hinata and Karin also approached from the river. When they saw that Kanpū was giving a lecture to Naruto, they ran up very quietly to listen.
A few minutes later, Kanpū finished explaining the key points of executing the Shadow Clone Technique.
"Do you understand?" Kanpū asked.
"We understand!" Hinata and Karin simultaneously nodded.
"…I don't understand." Naruto said pitifully and was not convinced, "Kanpū-sensei, can you explain it more simply?"
"Naruto, you're just too stupid. Look at me!"
Karin laughed heartily, then formed the hand seal, "Shadow Clone Technique!"
Bang!
The light smoke dispersed, revealing nothing inside.
'Failed?'
Karin looked at Kanpū in confusion.
Kanpū is also dumbfounded. It stands to reason that with Karin's Uzumaki Physique, although she is still an Academy's student, she should still have enough Chakra to use Shadow Clone Technique.
But at this time, he couldn't hesitate. He closed his eyes and said randomly: "Karin, your Chakra is not evenly distributed."
"Hahahaha, Karin, you're the stupid one!" Naruto seized the opportunity to mock her, "You can't even evenly distribute your Chakra."
Creak creak...
Karin gritted her teeth: "At least I've mastered the basics of Shadow Clone Technique! Isn't that better than a big idiot who can't even understand it?"
"Damn it, I will definitely master it!" Naruto stomped his feet in anger, then turned and hugged Kanpū's thigh in tears, crying pitifully, "Kan~pū~sensei~~ wu wu wu~ You must help me~~"
Seeing this, Kanpū was at a loss.
After sending Karin and Hinata to the corner to train the Shadow Clone Technique on their own, Kanpū tried to teach Naruto several times, but somehow, Naruto's brain seemed to be made of stone. He just couldn't learn it.
'This is unscientific.'
'Didn't Naruto in original work master it in an instant… the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?'
'Does he have to learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique first?'
Kanpū looked at Naruto suspiciously: 'What strange problem is this?'
Naruto blushed from being stared at, thinking that Kanpū was looking down on him. He uncomfortably twisted his body, rubbed his hands, lowered his head, and shyly looked up at Kanpūwith his big blue eyes.
Kanpū felt goosebumps at this.
'Who are you trying to disgust with that nauseating look?'
Kanpū quickly interrupted Naruto's flattery with a flick.
"Ouch… it hurts…" Naruto held his head, and yelled in pain.
At this moment, Kanpū hesitated, 'Should I teach the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to Naruto?'
'This Forbidden Jutsu is like a cheat for Naruto. It is a cheat that can be used from the early stage to the end.'
'Should I let him master this cheat now? Wouldn't it be unfair to others?'
'Wait!'
'Sasuke's Sharingan cheat has already arrived, then how can Naruto fight him without his own cheat?'
'No, this cheat must be activated!'
'I must not let this child lose at the starting line!'
With this in thought, Kanpū said: "Naruto, it's okay if you can't learn the Shadow Clone Technique. I'll teach you a Ninjutsu that is even more powerful than the Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto forgot his pain upon hearing this, and excitedly pounced over: "What Ninjutsu is it, Kanpū-sensei?"
"It's the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Kanpū mysterious said, "How is it? Just hearing the name makes it sound more powerful than the Shadow Clone Technique, right?"
Naruto subconsciously nodded, but then realized that the name sounded quite similar to the Shadow Clone Technique.
'Kanpū-sensei is not just fooling me, right…'
Naruto looked at him suspiciously.
Kanpū didn't notice Naruto's doubts and continued to persuade: "Naruto, did you know that Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is very suitable for people like you who have plenty of Chakra, but are simple-minded and don't know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide?"
'Hmm… When put in this way, Karin is also very suitable for this Ninjutsu.'
'I definitely didn't mean to insult Karin…' Kanpū added in his mind.
"Kanpū-sensei, is this Multiple Shadow Clone Technique's seal?" Naruto mechanically formed the hand seal with both hands, with his fingers crossed and intertwined.
Kanpū patted Naruto's head with satisfaction: "Naruto, you're really quick to catch on. Sensei is proud of you."
"…"
'These two techniques are basically the same thing.'
Naruto felt so wronged.
Kanpū seems to see through Naruto's dissatisfaction, but didn't get annoyed. Instead, he said with a smile: "Naruto, now try the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Don't even think about evenly distributing your Chakra into two halves, just… the more, the better."
"The more, the better?" Naruto was taken aback.
"Yes, you don't need to worry about evenly distributing your Chakra into how many portions, just think of it as more is better." Kanpū encouraged, "Come on, give it a try!"
Naruto didn't want to try, but under Kanpū's repeated insistence, he reluctantly formed the hand seal and lazily said: "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Bang~ bang~ bang~ bang~ bang~ bang~ bang~…
A series of fireworks-like explosions erupted from both sides of Naruto.
The smile on Kanpū's face gradually stiffened: 'It really succeed in one go.'
Karin and Hinata, who were discussing the details of Shadow Clone Technique next to them, also turned their heads in surprise.
Even Naruto himself was dumbfounded.
He lowered his hands and looked to his left, then saw dozens of himself.
Turning to his right, there are still dozens of himself.
"I… I learned it?"
Naruto couldn't believe it and slapped the shadow clone standing on his right.
Plak!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed, and the slapped shadow clone on the right covered his face in anger: "What are you doing!"
"To hit your own Shadow Clone, that's too much."
"Yeah, the main body is really bad."
"I hate people who hit their own shadow clones the most."
"You have no manners at all."
"How did we end up with a main body like this?"
"We should make him apologize."
"Yes, apologize."
"Apologize…"
The nearly one hundred shadow clones on both sides rushed up indignantly, surrounding Naruto and clamoring for him to apologize.
Naruto was both excited and aggrieved, but he refused to apologize to his own shadow clones!
Naruto immediately engaged in a verbal battle with the crowd, chattering continuously.
"Big brother Kanpū…" Karin ran over and pulled his sleeve, then pointed at the dozens of Naruto surrounding them in disbelief, so shocked that she was speechless.
"Although Naruto's academic achievements are very poor, he's really a genius in other aspects!" Hinata clasped her hands in front of her chest, praising in very ladylike manner.
"It's mainly because of my excellent teaching." Kanpū smiled modestly.
