Chereads / Jujutsu Kaisen: Nah, I'd Copy / Chapter 9 - Rasengan... Failed!

Chapter 9 - Rasengan... Failed!

[A/N: Titles of the chapter on buymeacoffee and webnovel may differ]

In the city there were no hens to crow in the morning when the first light of days appeared because there were no barns in kilometers stretched out.

A youth bordering the height of five foot got up from his bed and lazily stretched. He stretched his arms lazily and got out of the bed. He then proceeded to brush, bathe and began to put on a white shirt with black and red stripes coupled with brown pants.

He was named Kakashi Kishimoto. That name was given to him by himself due to the fact he refused to go by his old name.

Kakashi on his phone and checked the time. It was 6:30 in the morning and the sky was just beginning to gain color emerging from its former dark sky. He checked the side of the bed in the room he was in, and after being satisfied with the amount of money there he went to the spacious sitting-room.

There were just two couches there. Both were the color blue. There was a large amount of space in between the two couches that made it the best possible place to practice non-lethal jutsu without making another hole in the wall.

"It's just 6:30. I have enough time to train my shadow clone jutsu before I have to get to work."

Kakashi stretched both of his hands out before proceeding to close his fist. From that, he brought out two fingers and put two in front of the other.

"To perform the shadow clone jutsu I need to use a chunk of my chakra and transfer it into a body I create." He recited the procedures to himself as he prepared to make it happen.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

An identical clone of Kakashi appeared. It would have been perfect if not for the fact that the clone appeared quite distant to him. It lay on the couch and reminded Kakashi more of Mechamaru than himself.

"Are you sure you are me? You look more like Mechamaru!" Kakashi said in surprise as he stared at the byproduct of his chakra.

"I'm more you than you are…" *Cough* The shadow clone couldn't complete the sentence as a cough came out. It was followed by more coughs.

The clone dispersed.

Kakashi came to understand why the shadow clone jutsu was so hard. It required the user to take just the right bit of chakra and use it to create a shadow clone.

In simple words, the ratio he used was wrong.

"I was able to use the shadow clone jutsu when I was using the sharingan… To be able to use it once again, I have to remember the amount of chakra I was passively able to create."

Kakashi tried to remember the feeling that he felt once before. After sometime he finally grasped it… He then pulled it closer to himself… until… until he grabbed it and his eyes widened in realization.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

His hands were in the right position… right handseals.

An identical clone of Kakashi was standing right next to him. Folding hands and trying to look badass.

Kakashi had a short jubilation in his mind before he finally focused on what his shadow clone was doing.

"You know that kind of brings a bad name to the whole scarecrow thing, right?" Kakashi asked while looking at his clone.

"I know." It said the words quickly and it was almost hard to hear what had been said.

"Oh… Well, can you like disperse? I want to practice the jutsu." He said.

The shadow clone nodded before its' form vanished from sight. The only reassurance Kakashi got that his own clone wasn't using the body flicker was that he felt three-thirds of his chakra come back to him.

After that, Kakashi tried it a few more times before he was sure that he could get it down without using his three-tomoe sharingan.

He then rushed towards the supermarket and proceeded to work.

_____(Later)

Kakashi went back into his neighborhood and bought another two bowls of ramen. He then proceeded to bathe, brush and wear a new pair of clothes.

He wore a blue shirt with light blue stripes and black shorts.

He then left the house and began strolling with his phone. He was planning on copying the rasengan thoroughly with his sharingan.

In his own calculations it would take a lot of time to be able to use Rasengan without his sharingan. So he decided to use his sharingan first to copy it and then get used to the feeling before he tried using it without sharingan.

That would make his training a whole lot easier even if learning it would be hard.

After strolling for a while Kakashi found a park which was empty due to the darkness that clouded everywhere.

He scrolled to the episode he remembered Rasengan was used. It was used most of the time so it wouldn't be hard to locate it.

Luckily for him, he found the episode that Rasengan was first introduced. Watching Jiraiya do it for Naruto he decided to do it for himself.

He pumped chakra into his right eye. It then became an unusual shade of red with a three-tomoe, this was the sharingan!

After watching the scene the move was first used Kakashi raised one of his hands.

He began pumping chakra into his right hand and began materializing it. Following that, he kept it rotating so it would take its form.

"Rasengan!" He shouted as he trusted his hand forward towards the surrounding tree.

Shockingly, the ball of blue condensed wind type chakra dispersed before it came into contact with the tree.

"Why didn't it work? I have the sharingan and I did all the steps, so why wouldn't it work?" Kakashi questioned himself.

(A/N: There are a lot of things I know most of you have problems with in this book.

1. Why would the mc be able to just perform jutsu off the dot >answer< He was given the body of Kakashi and as a result the sharingan he's using has the memory of all the jutsu the original Kakashi copied.

That was why the mc was able to use most of the jutsu without properly understanding it. It is in the same way that Kakashi was able to use the jutsu that he had copied from his opponents.

2. The sharingan has two parts: One that allows you to hypnotize your opponent into thinking you know the future. The other one allows you to see what your opponent will do next with the openings in the mind. How does the mc use the sharingan to see what his opponent will do next? >answer< He has only used the sharingan on one person up to this point. The very same thing that happened with the first fight with Zabuza could be said to have happened here.

3. The mc doesn't see the chakra flow. He watches the episodes and is not there in the actual time, how can he use jutsu without that?>answer< He does see the chakra flow because it is there. But he doesn't use it because the jutsu he has tried onto this point were used by the original. In the same sense, the shinigami eyes could see the lifespan and the name of someone even when the person was far away, it was viewed on Tv/screen. That explains how he can use it.

4. The original Kakashi had the mangekyou sharingan before the events of Naruto after Rin died. The sharingan was downgraded for the mc's use. The more advanced the sharingan is, the more skill is used in using it, but the less effort is used in copying. That is why mc was unable to do the rasengan.

5. Yuji, Nobara, Maki and some other strong people were grade 3 and grade 4. How would the mc be able to beat them? >answer< The people that were ranked grade 3 and grade 4 due to strength and not because they overstayed their rank. The mc would be able beat them.

That is the end of complaints.

On a better note, I thank all of you for waiting until chapter ten because that is where the action starts.

I assure you the book will be more interesting than it is now… I can assure you that!
