Orochimaru: "I really love Black-framed Naruto-kun's pragmatic style of doing things!"
Orochimaru began his daily boasting about Black-Framed Naruto.
The key was that he made it sound like it was truly the case.
No one found it annoying.
However, the girls in the stands were a bit embarrassed.
In the scenes on the black frame big screen,
their little thoughts were practically written all over their faces.
Ino, however, was very open about it, not feeling there was anything wrong with her Black-Framed World self falling for Black-Framed Naruto.
She even turned to tease Hinata.
"Hinata, Black-Framed Naruto will definitely have a status like a Daimyo in the future."
"Then we won't have to worry about fighting and splitting up because of it."
"I'll be the first wife, you'll be the second, and Sakura can be the youngest!"
"Hahaha~"
Seeing Hinata's face turn crimson, steam practically rising from her head,
Ino slightly controlled herself.
She didn't utter another 'wolfish' remark, otherwise Hinata would have fainted again.
However, her words instantly provoked Sakura.
"How is that possible?!"
"Even if it were like that, I definitely wouldn't be the youngest!"
"At least older than you!"
Watching the two 'plastic' best friends about to argue,
Hanabi's big eyes twinkled.
She looked up with her cute little face, saying innocently:
"What's 'first' and 'youngest'?"
"Big sister, then is Hanabi the youngest?"
The girls: "..."
["Are we going to?"]
[Sakura clutched Little Naruto's hand.]
[A trace of shyness still lingered on her small face.]
[Little Naruto naturally released her hand.]
[He wiped the sweat from his forehead.]
[He thought to himself: 'Using Body Flicker Technique with one person doesn't seem as easy as I imagined, perhaps my proficiency isn't enough to make Body Flicker Technique as simple as breathing and drinking water.']
['I'm looking forward to what today's Shadow Clone will gain.']
[Then, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, revealing the gentle smile that had almost become his trademark.]
[Looking at Sakura, he said softly: "Shikamaru has also completed his Shadow Clone training."]
["Let's go, let's head over first."]
[With that, Little Naruto walked out from behind the tree.]
[Shikamaru on the opposite side had already successfully released a Shadow Clone for the first time.]
[He and his Shadow Clone were both observing him.]
[Although only one Shadow Clone was created, Shikamaru's Shadow Clone was quite stable.]
[This was the meticulous Shikamaru; after realizing that the Chakra for Shadow Clone needed to be 'evenly distributed,' he began to experiment in that direction.]
[That's why the first Shadow Clone he created was so stable.]
[Not inferior to the Shadow Clones created by Ninja who frequently use Shadow Clone.]
[Of course, in terms of quantity, he couldn't compare to those with large Chakra reserves.]
["Naruto?"]
[Seeing Little Naruto and Sakura approaching,]
[Shikamaru was stunned for a moment.]
[Then he laughed: "It seems you've already completed the training for Shadow Clone Jutsu... How troublesome... I don't like training with you monsters, it's too discouraging."]
Orochimaru: "Indeed, of course, this is just the beginning."
Orochimaru: "Give Black-framed Naruto-kun some more time, and perhaps the only one who can barely keep up with Black-framed Naruto-kun's pace will be Hinata, who can always eat her fill."
Ino Yamanaka: "Speaking of which, Hinata in the Black-Framed World seems to have grown quite a bit taller... I'm so envious~"
Uzumaki Kushina: "Silly girl, after the comparative viewing ends, your talent will also grow exponentially. By then, even if my little Hinata has eaten her fill, you won't be far behind."
Uzumaki Kushina: "In the Black-Framed World, Naruto definitely won't leave you all behind, don't worry~"
["Sakura, please also create a Shadow Clone."]
[Little Naruto didn't pick up on Shikamaru's words.]
[Little Naruto knew that Shikamaru knew he had something to ask him and was making excuses.]
["Ah... Mm, okay~"]
[Sakura was stunned for a moment, then quickly formed hand signs and created a Shadow Clone.]
[Bang—]
[The white smoke dispersed, and Sakura's Shadow Clone appeared.]
[With just one glance, Little Naruto felt that Sakura's Shadow Clone's quality was not as good as Shikamaru's.]
["I've discovered an incredible use for the Shadow Clone."]
[Upon hearing this, Shikamaru's expression slightly changed.]
[It wasn't often that Little Naruto gave something the evaluation of 'incredible.']
["Shadow Clone... isn't it just an advanced version of Clone Technique, just changing from an illusion to a physical body?"]
[Sakura blinked, not quite understanding why Little Naruto gave Shadow Clone such a high evaluation.]
[Shikamaru and his Shadow Clone were equally puzzled.]
["It's alright."]
["You two come with me for a moment, and you'll soon understand why I say that."]
[Saying this, Little Naruto looked at Shikamaru and Sakura's Shadow Clones.]
[Shikamaru and Sakura's main bodies were even more puzzled.]
[But they didn't fuss and followed Little Naruto away.]
["What are we doing?" Sakura asked.]
["I don't know... but I feel like it's going to get very troublesome..." Shikamaru sighed helplessly.]
[Then he plopped down on the ground.]
[Although his subconscious told him it would be an incredible discovery,]
[Shikamaru instinctively sensed that his days would be busy with training again.]
[Although he trained every day now, he had just gotten used to this intensity!]
[Sakura and Shikamaru didn't wait long.]
[Soon.]
[Bang—]
[The sound of their Shadow Clones dispelling echoed in the distance.]
[Shikamaru frowned slightly.]
[Sakura did the same.]
[A familiar yet somewhat strange memory and experience returned.]
[Scenes from the Shadow Clones' experiences flashed through their minds.]
[It was as if they had done it themselves.]
["When a Shadow Clone is dispelled, whether passively or actively, all of its experiences and memories are transmitted back to the main body."]
["This Jutsu has a great effect. If it's applied to training... or learning, it's an extremely powerful Support Ninjutsu."]
["The person who invented this Ninjutsu is truly a genius."]
["Of course, it contains no small risks."]
["How do you feel about receiving the Shadow Clone's memories and experiences for the first time? Was it difficult to process this information?"]
[Upon hearing this.]
[Shikamaru frowned and said: "It was very abrupt."]
["Mm-hmm, without any mental preparation. Perhaps with mental preparation, it would be better." Sakura said.]
["If the amount of information increases... and memories of pain are also transmitted back... this Ninjutsu indeed needs to be used cautiously. Mm, I mean, in combat." Sakura thought for a moment and added.]
[Shikamaru nodded slightly, agreeing with Sakura.]
["But if it's used for learning and training, it's a very powerful Ninjutsu."]
["I feel quite uncomfortable. Although I know these are all my own thoughts, if I receive too much information at once, it still affects the brain." Shikamaru hesitated for a moment, then added:]
["Naruto, you just told my Shadow Clone that this Ninjutsu doesn't seem to be complete?"]
["Yes, I have that feeling."]
["Perhaps it was censored. I'll trouble you to inquire about this." Little Naruto said.]
["I understand."]
["So, shall we start the experiment now?"]
[Sakura tilted her head, a bit confused by what Shikamaru meant by 'experiment.']
["No rush, let's rest for a bit."]
["You two should try to use Shadow Clone Jutsu as much as possible, and then apply it to your training. Remember, don't dispel all the Shadow Clones at once. I'll go have the others try it too."]
[Little Naruto still maintained his smile.]
[But his heart suddenly grew heavy.]
[Shikamaru and Sakura's reactions were somewhat different from his expectations.]
['Why don't I have such a strong sensation when receiving information?']
['Although I made my Shadow Clones restrain their random thoughts, the amount of information received was still more than what those two just received... but the sensation was very faint.']
['Could it be... because of the whispers in my mind... that special Chakra?']
