Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#308 - Shadow Clone Technique

The afternoon was for practical combat class, but in Liang Yue's eyes, it was pretty much the same as gym class.

Perhaps realizing their gap and shortcomings, Naruto and Sasuke, the two little brats familiar with him, didn't come to bother him in the afternoon.

The one doing combat practice with Liang Yue was an unknown extra.

After a few moves, the other party was pinned to the ground by him with a grappling hold.

After that, Liang Yue went to the side alone to practice kunai throwing and the Falling Rain of Flowers technique.

When school was over, he would take Hinata and Naruto to the river to practice for a while, sometimes sparring, sometimes practicing courage with animals.

In short, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Soon, a month passed in this leisurely rhythm.

The group of little brats' school life gradually got on track~

However, after the initial excitement wore off, Liang Yue now felt a bit like dying.

There was no way around it; making an adult return to elementary school was boring for anyone.

Teacher Shizuka, Senior Saeko, and the others could still go to instances in the base world every day, tend to the flowers and plants, and also remodel the surrounding living environment.

But he could only laze around in the classroom...

Compared to Liang Yue, Naruto seemed a bit excited these past few days because, according to Iruka's curriculum, he would be teaching chakra training methods in class in a few days...

I really don't know to what extent this little blondie can practice with the interference of the Nine-Tails inside him.

...

"Why not try to find something to do for myself?"

That night, Liang Yue, who couldn't stand the boredom, unconsciously fell into deep thought before using the Shadow Clone Technique, intending to start double cultivation mode.

This Shadow Clone Technique was something he found in the inheritance of his nominal father.

Since Liang Yue arrived in the Naruto world and Hinata Harusaki woke up.

It wasn't long before the Hyuga clan returned the things that had been confiscated.

The Shadow Clone Technique is not a very profound ninjutsu.

Its rank is above the Clone Technique of the basic Three Body Techniques, but it is obviously weaker than Naruto's signature ninjutsu, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Essentially, it uses chakra to create a clone with a physical body.

This clone has the same actions and combat abilities as the caster, has a consciousness independent of the caster's main body, a certain resistance to strikes, and can also release various ninjutsu.

After being dispelled, the clone's memories, experiences, and even the chakra cultivated after becoming independent will all return to the caster's main body.

Each clone only needs to cultivate a little chakra or gain a little combat experience, and together it is a massive amount of resources~

Moreover, the quality of the shadow clones that Naruto creates is very high, and even Kaguya Otsutsuki cannot distinguish between the real and the fake~

This kind of treatment can only be described as having a cheat...

However, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is a forbidden technique and is not something that ordinary people can learn; Hinata Harusaki's father naturally couldn't either.

But for Liang Yue now, being able to create one shadow clone is enough.

It can help him solve a lot of troubles~

During the day, when Liang Yue goes out to school, the shadow clone will stay at home to cultivate, and when Liang Yue eats, the shadow clone is still cultivating.

After school in the afternoon, this shadow clone will collapse and dispel itself because it can't hold on, and Liang Yue will just take this time to consolidate his own cultivation.

In the evening, Liang Yue will restart the shadow clone and sit in meditation and cultivation with it at home...

Repeating this cycle, under his almost uninterrupted cultivation mode, Liang Yue's *Evergreen Skill* has successfully climbed to the sixth level!

That's right~ the sixth level!

Converted to martial arts internal energy, it is roughly equivalent to the late stage of Houtian cultivation~

In just over a year since arriving in the Naruto world, this progress can be described as remarkable!

Of course, this is mainly due to the foundation laid by Liang Yue before.

After all, he is no longer a newbie~

In addition to the experience and amazing control in cultivation, although Liang Yue's body has now been forcibly shrunk and returned to the age of five or six.

However, he is still in the Xiantian realm, and the meridians in his body have already been connected and reached the realm of harmony between man and nature, and he can directly refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for his own use.

In this case, Liang Yue's cultivation will naturally be twice the result with half the effort, and now he has another weapon like the shadow clone...

The cultivation of spiritual power is different from chakra, but they are both energy, as long as you figure out the difference between the two, using them is actually similar.

For example, the shadow clone technique.

If chakra is used to perform it, the shadow clone will have more autonomy.

Because the nature of chakra energy itself is more inclined to the cohesion of spiritual power.

By analyzing a person's chakra, you can even read that person's memories and experiences from it.

Therefore, it is almost obvious what kind of compatibility this energy has.

Even the spiritual power of cultivators does not have this characteristic in the low-level state.

But if you put aside these spiritual powers and only look at the application of mental power, the sword energy in the martial arts system is the best analogy.

Before the qualitative change, it is also impossible to guide the power of elements, but it can trigger some specific energy through the nature of heaven and earth.

For example, sword energy...

After the spiritual power and human bio-energy are tempered and condensed, there is chakra.

Combining the two, it is easier to stimulate the elemental power of the corresponding attribute.

With the improvement of chakra quality and proficiency, the ninja's use of elemental power will become more and more superb.

However, according to Liang Yue's observation of the Third Hokage, the ninja who is currently at the peak of the ninja world.

Although the amount of chakra in his body can be described as vast as the sea, it is still essentially chakra and has not deviated from the scope of the condensation of bio-energy and spiritual power.

Nor has there been a qualitative transformation like the transformation of Houtian true qi into Xiantian true qi in the martial arts system.

So, theoretically speaking, for a level like the Third Hokage, as long as one's own talent is sufficient and one lives long enough, everyone can achieve it by cultivating step by step.

Back to the topic...

It is precisely because chakra cultivation emphasizes spiritual power that the shadow clones released using chakra are more independent.

Because chakra contains the caster's memory and spiritual will.

The shadow clone that Liang Yue now releases with spiritual power is not as autonomous, and the combat consciousness is a bit weak, but the clone will almost 100% obey his orders.

The reason for this is probably because the current stage of immortal spiritual power is mainly focused on developing oneself and nourishing the cultivator, although there is also spiritual power, it is only auxiliary.

The situation where it is exaggerated to the point where even memories can be given, like chakra, is not the pursuit of spiritual power cultivation.

"However, maybe this situation will change after the eighth level of the *Evergreen Skill*, after all, after the eighth level, it is equivalent to the Xiantian realm of warriors."

After blocking all the doors and windows around him, Liang Yue began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets in his house looking for balloons, while silently thinking about the connection between them in his heart.

In the end, without getting what he wanted, Liang Yue had to temporarily give up his whim and planned to buy a few boxes from the store on the street tomorrow.

After that, he began to sit in meditation and cultivate with his shadow clone at home.
