Chereads / Reborn in Shinobi world as Sasuke Uchiha! / Chapter 11 - Learning Shadow clone jutsu.

Chapter 11 - Learning Shadow clone jutsu.

I whisper to Hinata - wanna hold hands? No one will see it under the table...

Hinata glances around to ensure no one is watching, then looks at you with a shy but hopeful expression. She slowly extends her hand towards you under the table.

You gently take her hand in yours. Hinata's face lights up with a soft blush, and she squeezes your hand lightly in return. The warmth of the gesture seems to bring her some comfort and confidence. The two of you sit there, hand in hand, sharing a quiet moment as the other students chat and move around the classroom.

As you and Hinata hold hands, you both remain in a comfortable silence, the atmosphere between you growing more relaxed. Hinata's initial shyness seems to fade slightly, and she glances at you with a shy but appreciative smile.

Just then, the classroom starts to quiet down as Iruka-sensei prepares to resume the lesson. He stands at the front of the class and calls everyone's attention, signaling that the break is over.

Hinata gives you a final, grateful squeeze of the hand before gently pulling away, her cheeks still a bit pink.

Iruka-sensei begins to speak, the brief but meaningful interaction between hinata and me leave both of us with a sense of warmth and connection.

As the class continues, you focus on the lesson, taking notes and paying attention to Iruka's instructions. After a while, the class ends, and students begin to gather their things and prepare to leave.

Once the classroom starts to clear out, you can turn to Hinata:

"Hinata, how about we continue our chat after class? Maybe we can find a quiet place and talk more?"

Hinata, feeling more comfortable and encouraged by your earlier support, nods in agreement.

Hinata: "That sounds nice. I'd like that."

You both finish packing up and leave the classroom together, finding a quiet spot in the academy grounds where you can continue your conversation. The environment is peaceful, and the two of you have a chance to discuss more about your interests and aspirations.

Well so Hinata is there anything you wanted to ask me?

Hinata looks a bit shy but seems eager to engage in conversation.

Hinata: "Um, yes... I was wondering, what motivates you to become stronger? Is there a particular reason or goal you have in mind?"

Well what if I say maybe it because to help you.

Hinata's eyes widen slightly, and a soft blush appears on her cheeks. She looks touched by your response.

Hinata: "Really? That means a lot to me. Thank you. It's really encouraging to know you want to help me. I'm sure you'll achieve great things."

She smiles, feeling a mix of gratitude and warmth from your words.

So Hinata what about you, how do they treat you I mean your clan members and family.

Hinata's expression grows more reserved as she considers your question. She looks down at her hands before speaking softly.

Hinata: "Well, my family has high expectations of me because I'm from the Hyuga clan. Sometimes it feels like there's a lot of pressure to live up to their standards. But... I try my best to do what I can. They care about me, but it's not always easy."

She glances up at you with a mixture of vulnerability and determination, clearly sharing a part of herself that she doesn't often reveal.

I grab her hand softly, I ask - They also force you to training like me? Right

Hinata nods slowly as you gently hold her hand.

Hinata: "Yes, they do. Training is really important to my family, and they expect me to be strong and skilled. Sometimes it feels like all I do is train and study. But I understand it's important for our clan."

She looks at you with a hint of gratitude, appreciating your understanding and the comfort of your presence.

I come closer to her, I said - So may I ask who do you train with? I usually do it with my father.

Hinata: "I mostly train with my father, Hiashi-sama, and occasionally with my cousin, Neji. They push me to improve, but it can be tough sometimes."

She glances at you, hoping you understand the pressures she faces, and seems to appreciate your interest in her training routine.

With my face up close I kiss her.

Hinata: Her eyes widen in surprise as you kiss her. She looks down, blushing deeply. After a moment, she slowly meets your gaze again, her cheeks still flushed.

Hinata: "I... I didn't expect that. But... thank you. I feel... happy."

She seems a bit flustered but grateful for the gesture.

How do you train with them? Like which kind of training hand to hand?

Hinata: "Well, my training usually involves a mix of things. I do a lot of hand-to-hand combat practice, focusing on techniques like the Gentle Fist. We also work on my chakra control and agility. My father and I often practice together, and sometimes I have sessions with my cousin Neji as well."

She smiles softly, thinking about her training.

If you want we can also do the same, I said with a smile

Hinata: She looks up at you with a shy smile, her cheeks slightly flushed. "That sounds nice. I'd like that. It could be helpful for both of us to practice together."

She seems appreciative and hopeful about the idea.

So Hinata anything you wanted to ask about me?

Hinata: Her cheeks flush slightly, She looks down, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm curious, do you have any specific dreams or goals beyond just helping others? What drives you personally?"

Umm...maybe love I think

Hinata: She looks up at you, her eyes soft and curious. "Love... that's a beautiful goal. Do you think it's something that can guide us through our challenges and help us become better? I mean, I understand it's important, but how do you think it will help you achieve your dreams?"

You wanted to know? I can tell you.

Hinata: She nods, looking intrigued and hopeful. "Yes, I'd like to know. What does love mean to you, and how does it play a role in your life and dreams?"

I come closer and whisper to her in the ears - Love means to me is you understand and care for the person, and the other person does the same.

Hinata: She blushes slightly at your whisper, her eyes softening. "That sounds... really beautiful. I think I understand what you mean. It's about mutual support and caring for one another, isn't it?"

Sometimes it's more then that and I know you will understand what I mean with time.

Hinata: She nods, still blushing but looking more thoughtful. "I hope I can understand it better as time goes on. Thank you for sharing that with me. It means a lot."

I smiled, Oh Hinata you look so cute I love that look hehe

Hinata: She blushes even more, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of red. "Th-thank you. You're very kind." She smiles shyly, clearly flustered by your compliment.

Well I love you as well because you understand me who know you also do the same.

Hinata: She looks at you with a mix of surprise and affection, her eyes softening. "I... I appreciate your feelings. It means a lot to me." She gently squeezes your hand, her shyness giving way to a warm, genuine smile.

If you want to ask me anything or say anything, you don't have to request okay just say it I will listen or ask I will answer.

Hinata: She nods, her cheeks still a bit flushed. "Okay, I will. Thank you for being so understanding and kind. It's nice to know I can talk to you about anything." She takes a deep breath, feeling more at ease with your reassurance.

I look up at the sky to see the colour , In the academy grounds, the setting sun casts long shadows across the training fields and buildings. The sky is painted with hues of orange, pink, and purple, reflecting a serene atmosphere. The cool evening air starts to replace the warmth of the day, and the academy grounds are quieter now, with fewer students around as the day winds down.

So is there something you want to tell me but hesitate I might not like it Hinata?

Hinata hesitates for a moment, her eyes looking down shyly before she softly says, "Sometimes… I worry that I'm not strong enough, or that I might disappoint my family. I don't want to be a burden to anyone, especially… to you." She glances at you, her expression a mix of vulnerability and hope, as if seeking reassurance.

Oh so I am especially Thank you hehe

Hinata blushes, a small smile forming on her lips. "Yes, you are," she replies softly. She seems comforted by your words and presence, feeling more at ease as she stands beside you, the worries she just shared seeming a little less heavy.

So Hinata what will you do now?

Hinata, feeling a little flustered and happy after your conversation, glances around the academy grounds before replying softly, "I was thinking of practicing a bit more... maybe some gentle taijutsu. But, if you're free, maybe we could practice together?" She looks up at you with a shy smile, clearly hoping you'll join her.

If you want i will always be free hehe

Hinata blushes slightly and smiles at your words, looking a bit more relaxed. "Thank you," she says softly, clearly touched by your offer. "It would be nice to train together... I feel like I can learn a lot from you." Her confidence seems to be growing with your support.

As you both stand in the academy grounds, Hinata glances at the sky, then back at you. "I think I'll head home now," she says quietly. "I should practice a bit before it gets too late."

She hesitates for a moment before adding, "Maybe we can meet again tomorrow?" Her voice carries a hint of hopefulness, and she gives you a shy smile. It's clear she's starting to enjoy spending time with you.

Then when will you be free tomorrow?

Hinata thinks for a moment before responding. "I have some training in the morning and then a few chores to do in the afternoon. But I should be free after the sun sets. How about we meet at the same place we did today? It would be nice to talk more." She looks at you with a gentle smile, clearly interested in spending more time together.

Sure i will meet you here tomorrow after sun set you say how long can you be out then?

Hinata nods. "I can be out for a few hours after sunset. I'll need to be back home by nightfall, so maybe we can meet for an hour or two. Does that work for you?" She seems eager to make plans and spend time with you.

Sure okay let's go home then bye

Hinata smiles and waves as you head back home. "See you tomorrow!" she calls out. You make your way back to the Uchiha compound.

As you walk towards home, the sun continues its descent, casting a warm glow over the village. The streets are quieter now, with fewer people around as evening approaches. You take a moment to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere before reaching the familiar sight of your family's home.

You enter your home and look around for your father. You find him in his study, working at his desk with a few documents spread out before him. He looks up as you enter, his expression warm and welcoming.

"Ah, welcome back. How was your day?" he asks, setting aside his papers and giving you his full attention.

It was good father, remember you told me you will let someone guide me inside Uchiha library, we talk yesterday at dinner.

Your father nods thoughtfully, recalling the conversation from dinner. "Ah, yes. I had planned to arrange that for you. Let me check with the library staff to ensure everything is set up. Do you have any specific questions or areas of interest in mind that you'd like to focus on during your visit?"

Umm yes the clan history, information and offcourse jutsu.

Your father gives you an encouraging smile. "Understood. I'll make sure the guide is prepared to help you with the clan history, important information, and jutsu techniques. I'll have everything arranged for you. Is there anything else you need or any other way I can assist you?"

Um...no father let's go to library then.

Your father nods and leads you to the Uchiha clan's library. As you walk, he explains, "This library has been maintained for generations. It holds valuable knowledge about our clan's history, important techniques, and strategies."

Arriving at the library, a guide, an elder clan member, is waiting for you. Your father introduces him and then leaves, trusting the guide to assist you. The guide smiles warmly and begins explaining the various sections of the library and how to navigate them.

Hello elder, i said

The elder nods and responds warmly, "Hello. I'm here to help you with any questions you might have about our clan's history or techniques. What would you like to start with today?"

Yes, I wanted to know many things Elder please tell me

The elder nods and gestures for you to follow. "Certainly. We have various sections here in the Uchiha library. You can find detailed records about our clan's history, famous members, and important events. We also have extensive information on jutsu techniques, including those unique to the Uchiha clan."

He leads you to different sections of the library:

1. Clan History: Documents detailing the founding of the Uchiha clan, its key figures, and significant historical events.

2. Jutsu Techniques: Books on various Uchiha techniques, including the Sharingan, its evolutions, and clan-specific jutsu.

3. Genealogy and Important Members: Records about the lineage of the Uchiha clan, notable members, and their achievements.

4. Training Manuals: Practical guides on how to train and develop jutsu, including basic and advanced techniques.

"Feel free to explore these sections," the elder says. "If you have specific questions or need guidance on any topic, let me know."

I read the clan history, some key figures, specific abilities of sharingan, physical training, mental training...etc

I learn about - fireball jutsu, phoenix fire, Great fireball, flame control.

I also see some basic jutsu from the academy were here like Transformation,clone and body flicker jutsu.

After spending some time i goes to the librarian clan Elder

You head back to the section where the Uchiha clan elder, who oversees the library, is located. The elder is an experienced and knowledgeable figure in the clan, and as you approach, he looks up from his work, acknowledging your presence with a respectful nod.

"Young Sasuke, have you found what you were looking for?" he asks, his voice calm and wise.

Clan Elder, I want to learn Shadow clone jutsu will you teach me?

The clan elder raises an eyebrow at your request. "Shadow Clone Jutsu is a high-level technique, and not typically taught to those as young as you. It's a technique that requires significant chakra control and experience to perform effectively.

However, I can provide you with the fundamental principles and guidance on how to practice this jutsu. But remember, mastering it will require dedication and persistence on your part."

He gestures for you to follow him to a more private area where he can discuss the technique in detail.

The clan elder leads you to a quieter, more secluded part of the library, away from the main sections. He gestures for you to sit at a large table, covered with scrolls and reference materials.

He begins, "The Shadow Clone Jutsu, creates tangible clones of yourself. Unlike the basic Clone Jutsu, these clones are real and can perform tasks and fight, making it a more advanced and chakra-intensive technique."

He pulls out a scroll detailing the basic principles of chakra control and clone creation. "First, you need to understand that the key to this jutsu is not just creating clones but maintaining their solidity and functionality. You will need to practice controlling your chakra precisely. Here's what you need to focus on:

1. Chakra Control: You must split your chakra evenly among the clones while ensuring they remain effective. This requires significant control and concentration.

2. Hand Seals: The hand seals are crucial in the casting process. Practice them until they become second nature.

3. Concentration: Since the clones are real, they will require your attention to ensure they act as intended.

I suggest you start with smaller exercises to improve your chakra control and gradually work up to more complex techniques."

He hands you a basic training scroll and a few practice exercises to get started. "Remember, mastering this jutsu will take time and patience. Practice diligently, and don't hesitate to ask for guidance when needed."

The elder gives you a nod, indicating that you may begin your practice whenever you feel ready.

Elder can I stay here with you for the night? My father has already talked to you i don't know what they ask you but I want to learn more.

The elder considers your request for a moment. "Yes, you may stay here for the night. This library holds much knowledge, and I am glad to see your eagerness to learn. However, it is important to maintain balance and rest properly. I will assist you as much as I can, but remember that continuous study without rest can be counterproductive."

He gestures to a nearby set of comfortable cushions and a small table, indicating where you can set up for the night. "Make yourself comfortable here. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance with your studies, just let me know."

The elder then continues with his own studies, allowing you to explore the library and practice the techniques you're interested in.

You carefully examine the scroll on chakra control and hand seals. The scroll provides detailed instructions and diagrams on how to properly execute various hand seals, which are crucial for performing jutsu. Here's what you find:

Chakra Control

- Basic Principles: Chakra control is essential for performing jutsu effectively. Proper control allows for efficient use of chakra, which can enhance the power and accuracy of your techniques.

- Breathing Techniques: Controlled breathing exercises help in regulating chakra flow. Deep and steady breaths improve concentration and chakra management.

- Training Methods: Practice chakra control by performing exercises such as walking on water or trees, which challenge your ability to maintain a steady flow of chakra.

Hand Seals

- Purpose: Hand seals are used to channel chakra and activate jutsu. Each seal has a specific meaning and order that affects the type of jutsu being performed.

- Seal Order: The scroll provides diagrams of various hand seals, showing the correct sequence and their corresponding effects. For example, the Tiger seal is often used in conjunction with other seals for fire-based jutsu.

- Practice Tips: To master hand seals, practice making them quickly and accurately. The scroll suggests using a mirror to check the precision of your seals.

You study the hand seals carefully, practicing each one to ensure you can perform them correctly. This is essential for learning more advanced jutsu, such as the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Learning Shadow Clone Jutsu

I close the scroll after reading it and try to perform the shadow clone jutsu.

You focus on your chakra and perform the hand seals for the Shadow Clone Jutsu. As you concentrate, you feel the chakra flowing through your body. You complete the sequence and release the chakra.

For a moment, nothing happens. Then, with a burst of chakra, a clone appears in front of you, mirroring your appearance perfectly. The clone looks at you with the same intensity and curiosity.

The Elder, observing from a distance, nods approvingly. "Excellent work, Sasuke. It seems you have a good grasp of chakra control and hand seals. Keep practicing to perfect your technique."

Your clone stands ready, awaiting your commands. You can now test its abilities or use it to help you with other tasks.

Elder, can a shadow clone make a shadow clone?

The Elder looks at you with a thoughtful expression. "No, a Shadow Clone cannot create another Shadow Clone. The Shadow Clone Jutsu creates clones with a physical presence and the ability to interact with the world. These clones are independent, but they cannot perform complex techniques such as creating additional clones.

If you need more clones, you would have to create them yourself. Each clone will share your experiences and knowledge once they are dispelled, so use them wisely."

Elder, can a shadow clone also use sharingan?

The Elder nods, acknowledging your question. "Yes, a Shadow Clone can use the Sharingan just like you can. However, keep in mind that the Sharingan's abilities are tied to your own chakra and mental focus. Each Shadow Clone will be able to utilize the Sharingan as long as it is active and has enough chakra to support its use.

Remember, though, the Sharingan's power and effectiveness will depend on the amount of chakra the clone has and how well it is controlled. Once the Shadow Clone is dispelled, the information and experiences it gathered will return to you."

I try to make as much shadow clones as I possibly can by concentrating my chakra.

You concentrate deeply, focusing on the flow of your chakra and the required hand seals. As you perform the necessary seals and channel your chakra, you start to create Shadow Clones.

Initially, you manage to make a few clones. With more concentration and effort, you increase the number. The clones appear around you, each one mirroring your appearance and standing ready for instruction.

You count the Shadow Clones you've created and find there are five in total. They all appear to be stable and mirroring your appearance accurately.

Elder, how large is my chakra reserves? Can I make my chakra reserves more larger?

The Clan Elder examines you and says, "Your chakra reserves are currently within a typical range for someone of your age and experience. However, there are ways to enhance your chakra reserves. Training regularly, performing chakra-enhancing exercises, and mastering advanced chakra control techniques can help increase your overall chakra capacity."

He continues, "Additionally, practicing meditation and focusing on improving your physical conditioning can also contribute to better chakra management and growth. But remember, developing a large reserve of chakra takes time and consistent effort."

Clan Elder is there any form other then Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu.

The Clan Elder nods. "Yes, there are several forms and techniques beyond the three primary categories of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu:

1. Fuinjutsu (Sealing Jutsu): Techniques used to seal objects, creatures, or chakra. These can range from sealing away powerful entities to storing items in scrolls.

2. Kenjutsu : The art of sword fighting. While it falls under Taijutsu, it has its own distinct techniques and styles.

3. Yin-Yang Release: This is a form of chakra manipulation that combines spiritual and physical aspects. It's used in advanced techniques and can influence both creation and destruction.

4. Kinjutsu (Forbidden Jutsu): Techniques that are forbidden due to their dangerous nature or severe consequences. These can span across Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu.

5. Senjutsu (Sage Jutsu): Techniques used by those who have mastered Sage Mode, drawing power from nature to enhance their abilities.

6. Medical Jutsu: Specialized techniques used for healing and medical purposes, which require a deep understanding of anatomy and chakra control.

7. Elemental Manipulation: Beyond basic chakra natures, advanced users can manipulate elements in more complex ways, like creating storms or manipulating natural phenomena.

These forms and techniques are specialized and require extensive training to master, each offering unique advantages and capabilities."

Clan Elder - can you teach me Fuinjutsu?

The Clan Elder, observing your keen interest, responds, "Fuinjutsu, or sealing techniques, is a specialized area of ninjutsu that involves the use of seals to contain, restrict, or enhance various objects or chakra. It requires a deep understanding of chakra flow and precise control. While it's a valuable skill, it's advanced and typically taught after one has a solid grasp of fundamental techniques.

If you are determined to learn Fuinjutsu, you should first master the basic forms of ninjutsu and chakra control. With your current progress, you may be ready for an introduction to basic sealing techniques in the future. However, it would be best to build a strong foundation before diving into this complex art."

Clan Elder I am ready for basic sealing techniques I think, you can test.

The Clan Elder considers your request for a moment before nodding. "Very well, Sasuke. We'll start with a basic sealing technique to gauge your readiness.

Basic Sealing Technique Test:

1. Draw the Seal: Begin by drawing a simple sealing symbol on a piece of paper using a special ink or chalk. This symbol should represent a basic containment seal.

2. Chakra Infusion: Infuse your chakra into the drawn seal. The goal is to create a stable and functional seal that can contain a small object, like a kunai or a scroll.

3. Containment: Place a small object within the seal and close it. Your task is to ensure that the object remains sealed until you release it.

If you are able to successfully complete these steps, it will demonstrate your basic understanding of Fuinjutsu and readiness to learn more advanced techniques."

I started to learn it little by little

As you begin learning the basic sealing technique, you focus on each step carefully:

1. Drawing the Seal: You take your time to draw the seal accurately on the piece of paper. Precision is important in Fuinjutsu, so you ensure that every line and symbol is correctly inscribed.

2. Chakra Infusion: You concentrate on infusing your chakra into the seal. You feel the flow of chakra as it mingles with the drawn symbol, making sure to maintain a steady and controlled flow.

3. Containment: After completing the seal, you place a small object, like a kunai, within the sealed area. You then carefully close the seal, ensuring that the object remains contained.

As you practice, you might need to adjust your approach based on the results. If the object isn't contained properly, you'll need to refine your technique and chakra control. The Clan Elder observes your progress, offering guidance and corrections as needed.

With continued practice, you'll start to grasp the fundamentals of Fuinjutsu, allowing you to advance to more complex sealing techniques in the future.

Clan Elder, senjutsu can you tell me about it?

The Clan Elder explains:

Senjutsu, or Sage Jutsu, is a specialized form of ninjutsu that involves harnessing natural energy from the surroundings to enhance one's physical and chakra abilities. Here's a brief overview:

1. Natural Energy: Senjutsu requires the user to gather natural energy from the environment and blend it with their own chakra. This energy is typically absorbed through meditation and careful control.

2. Sage Mode: When successfully combined, natural energy forms a new type of chakra called Senjutsu chakra. This grants the user Sage Mode, which significantly boosts their strength, speed, and sensory perception.

3. Benefits:

- Enhanced Physical Abilities: Increased strength, speed, and durability.

- Heightened Senses : Ability to sense chakra and detect enemies over long distances.

- Powerful Techniques: Access to powerful jutsu that are unique to Sage Mode, such as enhanced elemental techniques.

4. Training: Mastering Senjutsu requires rigorous training and the ability to maintain a balance between natural energy and personal chakra. It often involves prolonged meditation and specific techniques to avoid the risk of transforming into a stone or losing control.

5. Limitations: It's challenging to master and can be physically demanding. Overuse or improper balance of natural energy can result in severe consequences.

Sage Jutsu is advanced and requires considerable time and dedication to learn effectively.

I look outside the window, It's currently 11 Pm Night, I have learn many things today.

Specially - Shadow clone jutsu.
