Naruto: The Strongest Training System

Chapter 48: The Shadow Clone's Task

"No, this kind of shadow clone is completely useless. Again."

"Poof." "Poof." "Poof."...

"Ding! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique Proficiency +1 (2/10000)"

"Ding! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique Proficiency +1 (3/10000)"

"Ding! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique Proficiency +1 (4/10000)"

"Ding! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique Proficiency +1 (5/10000)"

Time passed quickly, and it was already noon. After five attempts with the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, a shadow clone that looked exactly like Orion finally appeared standing beside him. And this time, it finally didn't look malnourished.

"I finally succeeded in creating a shadow clone that looks exactly like me." At this moment, Orion noticed a few small beads of sweat on his forehead, so he raised his hand and wiped them with his sleeve.

And because he had used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique five times, its proficiency had already reached 5 points. To be honest, the proficiency for this technique was really hard to raise, only increasing by one point at a time. At this rate, how long would it take to max out the proficiency?

Orion didn't want to think about how long it would take anymore. Just using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique five times had already consumed five-tenths of his chakra. Adding the chakra consumed from the morning's water walking, tree climbing, and Rotation training, he now only had four-tenths of his chakra left.

However, this was the result after a portion of his chakra had already automatically recovered. If his chakra hadn't recovered automatically, it would probably be completely depleted by now.

This last four-tenths of his chakra could not be used for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. It still had to be used to train other ninjutsu. He hadn't done any training for the Basic Three Academy Jutsu today, so this last bit of chakra would be spent on that.

The Basic Three Academy Jutsu were still relatively important. For example, the Substitution Jutsu among them was still used even by Kage-level ninjas, let alone an academy student like Orion who hadn't even reached the level of a Genin.

Besides the Substitution Jutsu, the Transformation Jutsu from the basic techniques was also somewhat useful. It could be used to transform into other things and was also worth increasing its proficiency. But besides these two, the last of the Basic Three Academy Jutsu seemed to be of little use.

Among the Basic Three Academy Jutsu, besides the Transformation and Substitution Jutsu, there was also the Clone Jutsu. But this Clone Jutsu was a bit of a dud. The clones created by it were merely illusions; they were all fake.

Any ninja with a discerning eye and decent strength could basically see through it. And since he now possessed the ultimate weapon of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, the basic Clone Jutsu was even more useless.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll just train the Clone Jutsu along with the others."

Who's to blame but the system for lumping the Substitution Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, and Clone Jutsu together, forcing me to train the Clone Jutsu as well?

"Rumble, rumble." This was the sound of his stomach growling; it was beginning to protest.

Orion looked up at the sun in the sky. The sunlight was very dazzling at this time. Just looking up hurt his eyes. He could only use his hand to shield his forehead and look with squinted eyes.

That's right, the sun had already climbed to the very top of the sky. It was probably high noon. Orion had only eaten a little at home in the morning and hadn't eaten anything since. He'd better get something to eat first.

But at this time, the shadow clone still couldn't be dispelled. If the clone were dispelled, creating another one would waste another one-tenth of his total chakra.

Moreover, today's training tasks were quite numerous. Relying on just myself might not be enough to complete them. Since I've obtained the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and have also created a usable shadow clone, I'll have the shadow clone practice ninjutsu, and I, the main body, will train my physical body.

To be clear, it's not that I'm not letting the shadow clone do physical training; it's that the shadow clone simply doesn't have the ability to do so. Because a shadow clone is composed of chakra, its physical strength is also determined by the strength of its chakra.

So, even if a shadow clone were to do physical training, it would have no effect. Therefore, I can only train my physical body myself. But before training my body, there are two things I need to do first.

The first thing is to transfer all the remaining chakra in my body to the shadow clone. The second thing is that my stomach is already very hungry and urgently needs some food to fill it.

Transferring the chakra in his body was very convenient. He just needed to be beside the shadow clone to transfer the remaining chakra into its body.

Filling his stomach wasn't particularly difficult either. This place he had chosen had many wild animals, and the nearby stream also had many fish and shrimp, which is why Orion chose to train here.

But there was no need to worry about being unable to catch food without chakra. Because this body of his was still relatively strong, possessing the physical strength of a Genin, which meant that Orion himself had the ability to fight a Genin.

Orion stood next to the shadow clone and thought for a while. He decided to have fish for lunch. So, he slowly walked towards that small stream.

Soon, he reached the bank of the small stream. At this time, the shadow clone in the distance was diligently practicing the Basic Three Academy Jutsu as per his instructions.

Arriving at the bank of the stream, the fish and shrimp in the water saw Orion and quickly swam away.

But at this moment, he wasn't ready to jump into the stream to catch fish yet. First, he had to take off his shoes, and also his shirt and pants. However, he didn't take off the weights on his body, because moving underwater with weights on would have the effect of training his physical body.

"Splash."

Orion jumped into the water at once. Water splashed everywhere. The splashing water created a different kind of beauty under the sunlight.

But Orion had no time to admire the beauty of the splashing water at this moment. The top priority now was to quickly catch a few fish to fill his stomach.

Orion's target was the fish in the water. So, he used all his strength and rushed towards the fish at his fastest speed. Since it was a small stream, the water was not too deep, just enough to reach the height of his stomach.

The fish in the water panicked due to his movements and quickly swam in the opposite direction. The speed of the fish was quite fast, but Orion's speed was even faster. After all, under the enhancement of the system, his physical body had already reached the level of a Genin. If his speed couldn't surpass that of a fish, it would truly be a joke.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Orion's speed was extremely fast. He pinpointed the location of the fish and directly reached out his hand to grab them without hesitation. The result was unchanged. There were two more fish in Orion's hands, one in each.

He threw these two fish onto the bank of the stream and, without even looking at them, went after the other fish.

It wasn't until he had caught a total of six fish that Orion stopped. These six fish should be about enough for his lunch.
