Chapter 40: Shadow Clone Jutsu

After the physical training ended, the students sat on the playground in disarray, regardless of their image.

Kitazawa looked at them and thought of the physical fitness tests for college students in his previous life.

He would run a thousand meters and feel like he had been punched by Tsunade's super strength, almost dying on the spot.

And these students, at six or seven years old, running a thousand meters was like child's play.

It could only be said that chakra was truly magical.

[Current Mission: Get first place in physical training.]

[Mission Reward: Leaf Strong Whirlwind.]

[Host has completed the mission, reward issued.]

After Kitazawa digested the information in his mind, he couldn't help but nod.

Might Guy had developed the Leaf Whirlwind series of taijutsu.

Leaf Strong Whirlwind was an advanced version of the Leaf Great Whirlwind.

Kitazawa guessed that after he finished this series of missions, he might be able to get the legendary Eight Inner Gates.

Although the Eight Inner Gates put a heavy burden on the body, its power was indeed undeniable.

Besides, when it really came to a life-or-death moment, who cared about side effects?

"Now I announce the rankings."

Kitazawa waited for them to rest for a moment and said, "First place, Sasuke Uchiha."

"Sasuke-kun!"

Sakura Haruno and other little girls couldn't help but cheer for him.

Sasuke Uchiha couldn't be happy at all.

Getting first in the physical test and getting a snack gift bag was clearly double the happiness.

But why was it like this?

An ordinary Chunin could run this fast?

Sasuke Uchiha sighed.

The excitement belonged to them, he had nothing.

"Second place, Kiba Inuzuka; third place, Shino Aburame... ninth place, Naruto Uzumaki..."

Kitazawa stopped after reading the tenth place.

The top ten were basically occupied by students from ninja clans.

Except for Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi, because they only ran half.

"Damn it!"

Naruto Uzumaki held his head with both hands, feeling unwilling.

He was going to be the fastest man in the ninja world, but he only got ninth place.

Kitazawa glanced at him.

Naruto Uzumaki's physical strength wasn't bad, but his technique was lacking; he was purely running blindly.

[Your lifelong rival, Naruto Uzumaki, ranked too low in physical training, which really made you lose face.]

[Current Mission: Help Naruto Uzumaki get second place in physical training.]

[Mission Reward: Shadow Clone Jutsu.]

[Accept?]

Kitazawa looked at the suddenly appearing mission and was stunned, but quickly reacted.

This was good stuff.

The Shadow Clone Jutsu could create clones with physical bodies.

And there were many things shadow clones could do; they could be used not only for combat but also for training and espionage.

Because after the shadow clone was dispelled, the memories and experience would return to the main body.

The advanced version of the Shadow Clone Jutsu was the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.

In the original work, this was called Naruto Uzumaki's cheat code.

Because he had so much chakra, he could create hundreds or thousands of shadow clones, which was equivalent to having a multi-experience card on at all times.

But Kitazawa couldn't do that.

After all, his chakra hadn't reached the standard of "one card," not even one-fifth of a card.

However, while performing the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu was impossible, performing the Shadow Clone Jutsu wasn't a big problem.

Why did it only require Naruto Uzumaki to get second place?

Kitazawa stroked his chin and understood the reason after thinking for a moment.

The system probably thought he was first place.

Saying Naruto Uzumaki was second place, in reality, he still had to be first.

"After everyone has rested, continue practicing moving target kunai throwing."

Kitazawa paused and said, "Students who have already mastered it can move freely."

Sasuke Uchiha stood up immediately upon hearing this and walked toward the training ground where the tree was located without saying a word.

He had failed the physical training, so he had to complete the tree-climbing training as soon as possible.

Hinata Hyuga and Ino Yamanaka looked at each other and followed.

"Naruto, come with me."

Kitazawa called out.

"Teacher Kitazawa, is there something wrong?"

Naruto Uzumaki followed him and asked curiously.

"I watched your performance in the physical training just now; you shouldn't have only gotten ninth place."

Kitazawa glanced at him and said.

"Really?"

Naruto Uzumaki said excitedly, "I think so too!"

Kitazawa laughed dumbly.

In terms of being stubborn and refusing to admit defeat, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were the same.

Truly brothers from different fathers and mothers.

"In my opinion, you could definitely get into the top three."

Kitazawa changed the subject and asked, "But do you know why you only got ninth place?"

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head.

"Because you only know how to brute force it."

Kitazawa explained, "You don't understand what running is at all."

"Teacher Kitazawa, can you teach me?"

Naruto Uzumaki wasn't discouraged, but rather asked excitedly.

"Of course."

Kitazawa said with a smile, "I called you over just to teach you."

"Thank you, Teacher Kitazawa!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately laughed, "Next time in physical training, I'll definitely be first!"

"Hard to say."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "Sasuke is no worse than you, but you also have an advantage: your physical strength."

The Uzumaki clan was born with strong physiques and a lot of chakra.

And Naruto Uzumaki was also the Nine-Tails jinchuriki; the Tailed Beast power could allow him to quickly recover from injuries and physical strength.

Although he didn't know the Nine-Tails, the Tailed Beast power leaking from the Nine-Tails was enough to play a role.

The two arrived at a quiet training ground in the school.

That is, the place where Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, and Ino Yamanaka were climbing trees.

"Sasuke!"

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly saw Sasuke Uchiha climbing the tree and immediately greeted him.

Bang!

Sasuke Uchiha was startled and fell down.

Why are you yelling so loudly?

He climbed up, twitched the corner of his mouth, and continued to climb the tree.

"What are they doing?"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"It's training for chakra control."

Kitazawa paused and said, "It's not your time yet, let me tell you about the techniques of running first."

"Okay!"

Naruto Uzumaki perked up and adopted a serious attitude.

"The most important thing in running is to master the correct running posture and pace..."

Kitazawa summarized, "That is, to have rhythm."

"I see!"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded vigorously and said, "I understand!"

"Whether you understand or not, you'll only know after trying."

Kitazawa held a pessimistic view of his learning ability.

In the original work, except for ninjutsu, Naruto Uzumaki's theory was a mess, otherwise he wouldn't have been a dead last.

"Alright, you just run in the training ground, and if there are any problems, I will point them out."

Kitazawa patted his shoulder and said.

"Mm!"

Naruto Uzumaki immediately started running.

Kitazawa's mouth twitched. ===== CHAPTER 42 =====
