Asuma's attitude was very firm, making it impossible for Naruto to refuse.
Moreover, the system also began to urge Naruto to eat dinner.
He could only nod in submission: "Okay, thank you, Asuma-sensei, for your help!"
"See you tomorrow!"
Asuma lit another cigarette, watching Naruto's retreating figure, and nodded silently.
"Perhaps this kid really can become Hokage..."
"Though I don't have much affection for the Hokage..."
...Returning home, Naruto quickly prepared his meal, and after wolfing it down, he quickly regained his strength.
He didn't want to rest as Asuma had suggested.
Instead, he went downstairs again, preparing to continue his Wind Release: Gale Palm training on the street.
This time, he brought his ninja tools, determined to personally test the power of Wind Release: Gale Palm, augmenting kunai and Shuriken with it!
He wondered... what kind of power would that unleash?!
Chapter 85: A Genius Idea! The Brilliant Use of Shadow Clone! Please give me your monthly votes!!!
Although Naruto's Chakra hadn't fully recovered, he had regained a good amount.
He arrived at a deserted, silent street.
Naruto took a deep breath.
"Shuriken Technique!"
He simultaneously pulled out seven or eight Shuriken with both hands, firing them in all directions!
At the same time... "Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm!"
Naruto quickly formed hand seals, unleashing the power of Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm!
However... his speed was still not enough; by the time the gale erupted, all the Shuriken had already fallen to the ground.
"As expected, it's too late?"
Naruto sighed but wasn't discouraged; this result was already expected.
He rubbed his chin, analyzing the reason.
"Hmm..."
"My hand seal speed isn't fast enough, and the Ninjutsu takes too long to activate, so the Shuriken hit the ground before I can unleash it..."
"Hey, what if I activate the Ninjutsu first, then throw the Shuriken?!"
Naruto immediately experimented, first activating Wind Release: Gale Palm to create a gale, then quickly firing the Shuriken.
However, this way, the gale had already blown away by the time the Shuriken flew out, so it still couldn't augment their power.
Naruto couldn't help but get frustrated, clutching his head and grimacing.
"Arghhh—"
"This is really hard!"
"Why can't they activate together?!"
"If only there were two of me..."
"Wait, wait a minute..."
Naruto had a flash of inspiration, and an unparalleled brilliant idea instantly emerged!
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
He directly released the Shadow Clone Technique, but only created one Shadow Clone.
"Ha! I really am a genius!"
"Naruto Two, you coordinate with my movements to launch the Shuriken, and I'll activate Wind Release: Gale Palm. As long as we two cooperate perfectly, can't we activate them simultaneously?!"
The Shadow Clone Naruto was also overjoyed.
"Wow, that makes sense!"
"As expected of me, I'm simply a genius!"
The two boasted to each other and quickly began to experiment.
"Shuriken Technique!"
"Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm!"
Indeed, the coordination between himself and himself was the most seamless.
Almost at the exact same moment, the powers of the two Narutos activated simultaneously!
The Shuriken shot out, cutting through the air, creating sharp whistling sounds!
At the same time, the gale generated by Wind Release: Gale Palm roared outwards, instantly augmenting the Shuriken, causing all of them to dramatically increase in speed and power!
Bang, bang, bang—
One by one, the Shuriken fiercely embedded themselves in all directions—the ground, walls, tree trunks, and even stones were almost directly pierced!
"Such... such strong power!"
Naruto was overjoyed; this way, he wouldn't even need to train by himself, just cooperate with his Shadow Clone!
However... there were still some problems.
Naruto scratched his head: "Hmm, right now it's just random firing, completely without aiming at a target..."
"The next step should be, as Asuma-sensei said, to try and manipulate the wind with Chakra, so I can accurately hit enemies!"
Naruto quickly began to experiment again.
However, this was much, much harder than all his previous training... because it required more than just Chakra control.
It required externalizing Chakra.
At present, Naruto had not yet undergone any training in this aspect.
So, as the night passed, although Naruto and his Shadow Clone cooperated more and more seamlessly, and the power of Wind Release: Gale Palm combined with Shuriken Technique grew stronger and stronger, the accuracy remained difficult to improve.
Exhausted, he could only dispel the Shadow Clone and collapse onto his bed, falling asleep instantly.
In his dream, fighting Sasuke again, Naruto immediately unleashed his new move.
Wind Release: Gale Palm combined with Shuriken Technique!
However... to Naruto's utter surprise, Sasuke in his dream had also become much stronger!
His Sharingan's ocular power had increased, actually activating the Double Tomoe Sharingan!
As a result, the opponent's perception also greatly improved, even suppressing Naruto for a time!
But Naruto was not discouraged; instead, he became even more excited!
"Good! Sasuke!"
"This is you! If you gave up after being defeated by me, that would be truly boring!"
"Come on, I've been waiting for you to get stronger, so we can have a real fight!"
Sasuke in the dream said coldly: "Naruto, you don't understand what the Uchiha Clan is, or what a true Sharingan is. Let me show you..."
"My new ocular power!"
The two fought fiercely in their dreams, with victories on both sides, making Naruto exclaim his satisfaction.
Any Ninjutsu serves practical combat.
Simply training and mastering it without actual combat makes it meaningless.
Fortunately, Naruto had the dream battles, which allowed him to quickly grasp the rhythm of fighting with new Ninjutsu... The next day, Hinata still didn't come.
Though Naruto was a bit disappointed, his thoughts were mostly focused on his Wind Release training.
After breakfast, he immediately dashed to Asuma's house.
"Asuma-sensei, I have something to show you!"
Asuma also became curious.
"What is it, Naruto? What have you mastered now?"
Naruto grinned, not wasting any words, and directly used the Shadow Clone Technique to create a Shadow Clone.
"A Shadow Clone?"
"You've already started training?"
Naruto didn't answer, but instead exchanged a glance with his Shadow Clone Naruto.
"Shuriken Technique!"
"Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm!"
The two activated simultaneously, and instantly, a furious gale, accompanied by the rapidly firing Shuriken, merged into one, augmenting them, doubling their speed, and dramatically increasing their power!
Bang, bang, bang—
Rumble!!!
Seven or eight Shuriken simultaneously flew out in all directions, instantly piercing seven or eight cracks into Asuma's yard!
Tree trunks, walls, the ground, and even stones were all pierced!
Asuma's eyes widened, and the cigarette in his mouth almost fell out.
"Th-this is..."
Naruto grinned triumphantly: "How is it, Asuma-sensei?!"
Asuma exclaimed in shock: "You're using a Shadow Clone to cooperate with your main body, one using Wind Release and the other using Shuriken Technique?!"
"Although it's a clever trick, but..."
"This is probably a clever trick that only you can pull off..."
"And the power is quite formidable!"
Naruto became even more smug: "Asuma-sensei, I really am a genius, aren't I?!"
"Indeed..."
Asuma also smiled: "However, this move has enough power, but absolutely no precision..."
"It would be quite powerful in a melee with enemies, but in a one-on-one fight, it's a bit..."
Naruto, of course, understood what he meant.
"So, Asuma-sensei, today I'm here to ask you how to improve the accuracy!"
Asuma Sarutobi rubbed his chin, thinking that if Naruto truly mastered the trick, the power of this one move alone would be astonishingly terrifying!
Ninjutsu rank does not equal power.
The same Ninjutsu can have vastly different strengths in different people's hands!
