“I’m so sorry, Iruka-sensei. I practiced too late last night and accidentally overslept.”
Ye Yu said apologetically.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the other students in the class burst into laughter.
“Practiced too late, overslept… haha, that excuse is too fake!”
“Yeah, Ye Yu, you’ve practiced for so long and still can’t use the Shadow Clone Technique. I think you should just give up!”
“Honestly, being an ordinary person isn’t so bad!”
An enraged Naruto immediately jumped out to defend his friend.
“You guys, have you said enough!”
“Naruto, they’re just telling the truth, don’t get upset.”
Sakura interjected, looking towards Sasuke sitting by the window, seemingly trying to attract his attention.
“They’re right, I do have limited talent.”
“But now I can use the basic Shadow Clone Technique.”
Ye Yu responded simply in the face of everyone’s mockery.
“Really, Ye Yu?”
Iruka asked excitedly.
If it were another student, he might not have been so excited.
But it was Ye Yu!
In five years at the Ninja Academy, Ye Yu had never successfully performed a single jutsu!
“Show us.”
Iruka encouraged him.
“Hehe, we want to see too!”
Sakura continued to tease.
She didn’t believe that Ye Yu could learn the Shadow Clone Technique overnight!
Even if he did learn it, it would definitely be flawed!
It would definitely not meet the standard!
Ye Yu said humbly, “I might not be very skilled, please don’t laugh at me.”
As he spoke, Ye Yu walked up to the podium, formed a hand seal and shouted, “Shadow Clone Technique!”
“Whoah!”
A clone identical to Ye Yu appeared on the podium!
The entire class was stunned!
“This guy actually learned it!”
“At least he won’t fail the Shadow Clone Technique exam.”
“It seems Ye Yu really has been working hard.”
“Is it really that surprising? We learned this two or three years ago, he’s only just learned it!”
Sakura said in dissatisfaction.
“Yeah, because it’s the dead last Ye Yu who did it, that’s why it’s so surprising.”
Another classmate chimed in.
“Ye Yu, good job, you’ve met the standard for the final exam.”
Iruka patted Ye Yu’s shoulder approvingly.
“But you shouldn’t get complacent, keep working hard.”
“Yes, yes, I understand, Iruka-sensei.”
Ye Yu nodded politely and humbly.
Iruka-sensei was right!
He had to keep working hard!
“By the way, teacher, yesterday while practicing the Shadow Clone Technique, I discovered that if I slightly change the hand seals, I can create different types of clones.”
Upon hearing this, Iruka became interested and let out a light “Hmm”: “Oh? Show me.”
Ye Yu nodded honestly and formed a hand seal completely different from the Shadow Clone Technique.
Immediately afterwards.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”
Five or six Ye Yus suddenly appeared in the classroom!
The clones all said in unison, “Teacher, that’s how it is.”
The whole class: “????? ”
Iruka frowned: “Ye Yu, don’t lie to the teacher, you’re just using the normal Shadow Clone Technique to create a few more clones.”
“Teacher, touch me.”
Several clones spoke again.
Iruka, half-believing, reached out and touched one of Ye Yu’s clones.
It felt like a real person!
Iruka: !!!
Could it be…
This is the Shadow Clone Technique!
A B-rank jutsu recorded in the Leaf Village’s jutsu scrolls, the Shadow Clone Technique!
It can create solid clones with independent consciousness and a certain level of defense from the user’s chakra!
Most importantly, when the Shadow Clone Technique is dispelled, its memories and experiences are fed back to the original body!
“Ye Yu, this… you figured this out yourself?!”
Iruka’s eyes widened.
“Yeah.”
Ye Yu looked confused.
“Also, I found that when performing this hand seal, if I inject more chakra, I can create a large number of solid clones.”
As he spoke, Ye Yu formed a hand seal again.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…”
In an instant, the entire classroom was filled with Ye Yu’s clones!
Roughly estimated.
There were hundreds of them!
The entire class: dead silence!
Iruka: This
So many clones!
This this this…
Could this be the Leaf Village’s forbidden jutsu developed by the Second Hokage!
The A-rank jutsu, Multi-Shadow Clone Technique, that is extremely difficult to learn and use!
A legendary forbidden jutsu!
Ye Yu learned it just by himself?!”
More importantly, the amount of chakra he possesses actually allows him to create so many clones!
Sweat dripped down Iruka’s forehead.
What he had seen today had overturned his decades of experience teaching jutsu!
He had been teaching for years, and he had seen students who were extremely gifted.
But at most, they just learned faster.
Self-learning the Shadow Clone Technique was one in ten thousand!
And to perform the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique based on the Shadow Clone Technique with such an enormous amount of chakra, he had never encountered anything like it in his life!
Iruka realized that Ye Yu was a genius!
A monstrous genius!
A future pillar of the Leaf Village!
A beacon of hope!
“Teacher, is this still not good enough?”
Ye Yu cautiously observed Iruka’s expression.
Seeing the teacher’s stunned look, it seemed like he was still dissatisfied with his Shadow Clone Technique.
Ye Yu sighed.
Being a ninja is really difficult.
This isn’t good enough.
Ye Yu tentatively said, “Iruka-sensei, last night I discovered that different chakra natures combined with different hand seals can create clones on other mediums…”
“Wh… what?”
Iruka stuttered.
“Otherwise… you can show me?”
Iruka’s pupils dilated, then he forced himself to calm down.
He wanted to see what else Ye Yu had figured out.
The Multi-Shadow Clone Technique is already out there.
Could it be that you, a little kid from the Ninja Academy, can use chakra natures to create clones of corresponding natures?
Don’t be ridiculous, how is that possible…
The next moment.
Iruka’s face froze!
The expressions of the entire class froze at that moment!
Ye Yu had just done something incredible!
Shikamaru rubbed his eyes, afraid that he had seen wrong.
Ye Yu just now… seemed to have used the Water Clone Technique!
Wait a minute, that was another Earth Clone Technique!
And Lightning Release?!
Is this something taught at the Ninja Academy?!
Where did you secretly practice this?!
We can’t even figure out a Shadow Clone Technique.
You’ve already figured out multiple attribute clones!
Sasuke, like Shikamaru, also rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief and shock...
