Naruto: The Strongest Training System

Chapter 47: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!" When the system transferred things into Orion's brain, it was always incomparably painful. Although he had experienced this before, the pain was still unavoidable.

Faced with this pain, Orion could only choose to endure it, because there was no other way. Even if he didn't endure it, the pain would still exist. It was better to bear it; that way, there was at least a buffering process.

Not much time passed before the feeling of pain in his head slowly weakened, weakened, and weakened, finally disappearing.

This process was exactly the same as the last time: first, intense pain, then the pain slowly weakened, and finally, the pain completely disappeared.

The only difference from last time was the content of the transfer. This time, the ninjutsu the system transferred into my head was the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. This ninjutsu was an A-rank technique and had a very significant use, completely different from last time.

Based on the new knowledge in his head, Orion also gradually came to understand the method of using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. The method of forming the hand seals and the results that would appear after using it were all crystal clear.

With the system's help, Orion felt that this Multiple Shadow Clone Technique wasn't very difficult. As long as he knew the method of use, the hand seals, and how to apply the chakra, this ninjutsu wouldn't be too hard.

But this was just Orion's current feeling. Because he had already gone through the system's transfer, he understood the complete method of use for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, the hand seals, and the application of chakra very well. So basically, no matter how difficult a ninjutsu was, as long as it went through the system's transfer, it would become very simple to use.

If he were really given a scroll of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and had to learn how to use it himself, he would probably be dumbfounded.

Because Orion had already seen the ninjutsu scrolls in his own home. And those were for the simplest, most basic ninjutsu and taijutsu, namely the Basic Three Academy Jutsu and the Leaf Whirlwind and Leaf Strong Wind.

Even for such basic ninjutsu and taijutsu, Orion couldn't understand them. So there was no need to even mention an A-rank ninjutsu like the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, because that would surely be countless times more complex than those most basic techniques.

Orion summarized the new knowledge that had appeared in his mind. He summarized the method of using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, the method of forming its hand seals, and the method of circulating chakra for it.

After all, that knowledge was transferred into his mind by the system; it couldn't truly be considered his own. Because there was a lot of training experience for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique in his mind, if he didn't go over it in his head, he probably wouldn't even know this experience existed. So, he had to summarize it.

Otherwise, he might fail when he tried to use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique later. And the reason for failure would only be because he was unfamiliar with how to use it.

Orion silently summarized it in his mind for a while. After he was done, he began to form the hand seals according to the method for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique that the system had transferred into his mind.

When preparing to begin the training for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, he closed his eyes. Because closing his eyes could reduce distracting thoughts, which is what the Chinese call "out of sight, out of mind." Since the eyes couldn't see, the mind wouldn't be too agitated, and the distracting thoughts would naturally decrease.

With his eyes tightly closed, Orion began to form the hand seals according to the memory of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique's usage method in his mind. The chakra in his body also circulated according to the chakra circulation method for the jutsu in his mind.

The hand seals were already formed, and the chakra in his body also finished circulating at the same time the seals were completed.

"Poof."

Suddenly, a puff of smoke was generated. After the smoke dispersed, a person who looked somewhat similar to him appeared beside Orion. But this "Orion" wasn't standing on the ground, but was lying on the ground limply, as if without energy, not moving at all.

"Ding! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique Proficiency +1 (1/10000)"

The system's prompt also appeared very timely after I created a shadow clone. But I just didn't know if my shadow clone was successful or not. Although I had successfully created the shadow clone, this shadow clone...

As he was thinking, Orion looked over at the shadow clone that had just appeared. It was still listless and lying limply on the ground. And its face was also a little different from his own.

Looking at that shadow clone, Orion felt a little ashamed. He never thought he would create this kind of shadow clone. It wasn't exactly the same as him, and it didn't have a shred of energy.

"But it should be considered a success, right? No matter what, the shadow clone has already been created by me."

Even if that shadow clone's appearance had a small difference from mine, even if that shadow clone had no energy at all, and even if looking at it, you could tell it was useless, at the very least, the shadow clone had been created by me.

"This should be considered a success, right? Mm-hmm, it must be a success, it must be."

Orion comforted himself in his heart, telling himself not to mind what that shadow clone looked like.

To be able to create a shadow clone on the first try, my talent should be the kind that is hard to come by in a hundred years... no, it should be a genius that is hard to come by in a thousand years.

Orion quickly forgot about the embarrassing state of that shadow clone just now, and also forgot that the method for using this Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was transferred into his mind by the system. Just like that, he began to get lost in his own delusions.

"Alright, first, let's dispel that shadow clone."

Soon, that floppy shadow clone disappeared, and the chakra that had been divided for the clone also returned to his own body.

However, this did not mean that no chakra was consumed. Since this was the first time Orion had used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, his proficiency was still extremely low. So, when creating the shadow clone, a lot of chakra was wasted and dissipated.

Originally, Orion had nine-tenths of the chakra in his body. Now, only eight-tenths of his total chakra remained.

That one-tenth was consumed earlier during the water-walking and tree-climbing training.

If he were very proficient in using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, there would be no situation where chakra was wasted. However, the existence of the created shadow clone would still require chakra consumption, just that the amount consumed would be very small. If the clone were to use ninjutsu, then it would still consume the chakra required for that ninjutsu.

"Alright, one more time."

After dispelling that somewhat failed shadow clone, Orion's hands once again began to form the hand seals required for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and his chakra also began to circulate again.

"Poof."

Another figure emerged from the smoke. But this time, the shadow clone was much better than the one Orion had created before. Its face also gradually began to resemble Orion's, and it wasn't lying directly on the ground anymore. It just looked a bit malnourished.
