The forest surrounding Kirito's hidden laboratory was quiet, almost eerily so, as if the world itself had grown aware of the changes occurring within. Inside, the air hummed with energy, the faint glow of his chakra core casting shadows on walls lined with scrolls, vials, and experimental equipment.
Two months had passed since the night he had prioritized the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu. In that time, every waking moment had been devoted to perfection, integration, and control. Each clone, each hand seal, each burst of chakra had been scrutinized, refined, and reinforced.

Daily Routine of Mastery
Kirito's days were regimented. He would awaken before dawn, meditate to harmonize with his chakra core, and then begin the relentless cycle of creation, replication, and combat simulation.
Morning: Creation of over a hundred clones simultaneously, each assigned a training protocol. Some would practice the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu to extend their endurance and operational effectiveness. Others would refine Flying Thunder God teleportation marks, integrating them with attack simulations.
Afternoon: Combat exercises. Clones engaged in simulated missions, fusing elemental jutsus, taijutsu, and chakra-enhanced maneuvers. Kirito observed, adjusting chakra flows, correcting minor errors, and analyzing efficiency.
Evening: Forbidden jutsu integration. Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu and Flying Thunder God were not just practiced separately—they were woven into complex tactical scenarios, enabling instant replication and teleportation in the middle of simulated battlefield engagements.
His body had adapted to the strain. His physical endurance, reflexes, and strength were enhanced by constant chakra reinforcement from his core. His mind, already brilliant, had grown sharper, capable of simultaneously controlling dozens of clones while strategizing multiple combat scenarios in real time.

Mastering the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu
The first month was devoted almost entirely to clone stability and chakra distribution. Kirito pushed his clones to maintain full consciousness while multiplying exponentially.
One hundred? Too few. Two hundred? Better. Three hundred? Achievable.
Each clone acted independently, performing elemental attacks, seal placements, or reconnaissance tasks. Kirito analyzed their patterns, teaching them to coordinate as a single unit, anticipating potential mistakes before they happened.
He experimented with layering clones in combat formations, splitting consciousness between offensive and defensive groups, and even using clones to manipulate environmental chakra to amplify jutsu potency.

Flying Thunder God – Speed and Precision
The second month shifted focus to Flying Thunder God, but always in combination with his clone army.
Teleportation Drills: Kirito and his clones practiced teleporting in rapid succession across marked points, maintaining awareness of every clone's location.
Integration Drills: He combined teleportation with elemental attacks and taijutsu, creating fluid sequences where clones would strike, vanish, and reappear in perfect harmony.
Strategic Mapping: Using his sensory jutsu, Kirito created a mental map of potential combat arenas, simulating attacks and counterattacks to refine instantaneous positioning.
By the end of the second month, Kirito could summon a hundred clones, teleport himself and select clones instantly, and execute coordinated attacks with flawless precision. His twentyfold chakra reserves ensured that no clone would falter from exhaustion, allowing continuous operation for hours on end.

Integration into Combat Style
Finally, Kirito began to weave his forbidden jutsus into his personal fighting style.
Clone-Assisted Offense: Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu became his primary offensive method, creating distractions, flanking maneuvers, and simultaneous multi-point attacks.
Teleportation Precision: Flying Thunder God allowed him to appear at any strategic point, avoiding counterattacks while amplifying clone effectiveness.
Elemental Fusion: Clones performed coordinated elemental attacks while Kirito teleported between fronts, directing fire, wind, and lightning with perfect timing.
Taijutsu Enhancement: His reflexes, enhanced by constant chakra core infusion, allowed him to combine high-speed strikes with teleportation-assisted positioning.
Kirito's inner thoughts were sharp, calculating every possibility.
Two months, countless simulations, hundreds of clones… every attack, every defense, every movement is seamless. Multi Shadow Clone and Flying Thunder God are no longer separate techniques—they are extensions of me. My strategy, my body, my mind, my chakra… all unified.

Nightfall Reflection
As night fell, Kirito surveyed his lab. Over a hundred clones maintained their positions, practicing techniques in unison, some weaving seals, others performing elemental jutsus, all under his perfect coordination.
He walked to the center, resting his hands over his chakra core.
This is only the beginning. With these skills perfected, I can handle any threat, any mission, any opponent. The forbidden jutsus are not just weapons—they are tools of control. And control… is absolute power.
The soft glow of the chakra core pulsed steadily, a heartbeat that connected Kirito to his legion of clones and to the vast network of techniques he now commanded.
Tomorrow… I will push further. Integration with fuinjutsu, advanced genjutsu applications, and experimental projects. But tonight… I rest, even briefly. The legion is ready. And so am I.
