Training ground.
Choji is about to eat a specially made Military Rations Pill, which is a new formula that Hagoromo recently gave to the Akimichi Clan.
These Military Rations Pills contain significantly more calories than regular ones.
It's just right to meet Choji's training needs.
Sansan, standing to the side, was licking her lips, her saliva almost dripping down her cheeks.
There was no way around it; Choji's Military Rations Pill tasted exceptionally sweet to his incredibly keen sense of smell.
Choji, couldn't stand Sansan's gaze any longer, so he took out a ninja tool from his pouch and handed it to Sansan.
"Then I won't be polite!" Sansan's eyes lit up, and she tried to stick her mouth out at the Military Rations Pill.
The next second--
Boom--
"My Military Rations Pill!" Sansan watched as the Military Rations Pill fell into the soil, and was about to turn around to see who was so foolish as to disturb him.
Result...
"Hey... that's going too far!"
Sansan stared in disbelief at the figures filling the entire training ground, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Naruto is amazing!"
Choji couldn't help but open his eyes and saw countless figures standing not only on the training ground but also on the nearby trees.
He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
That number must be at least over a thousand, right?
"Just a moment!"
In the arena, Naruto's Shadow Clones all shouted loudly, and the shouts of thousands of Shadow Clones made the trees nearby rustle.
Birds were frequently startled and quickly flew away.
Snap--
On the field, Hagoromo helplessly flicked Naruto's forehead with his fingers.
"Aww!"
Naruto cried out in pain, clutching his forehead.
"Cancel it first, Naruto!" Hagoromo looked around and said to Naruto.
"Yes!" Knowing he was in the wrong, Naruto quickly canceled the Multi Shadow Clone Technique.
In an instant, countless Shadow Clones exploded into smoke, while Naruto's real body blinked. This multiple vision was truly amazing!
On the training field, neither Shikamaru nor Sasuke and the others had yet recovered from the shock.
Sasuke's lips twitched uncontrollably; such a massive Shadow Clone...
Sasuke had a premonition that he would be badly beaten by Naruto the next time he challenged him!
Without hesitation, Sasuke turned and walked towards the waterfall next to the training ground.
He needs to practice more!
"Hehe." Naruto scratched the back of his head, looking at Hagoromo with an embarrassed expression.
"You..." Hagoromo poked Naruto's head in exasperation, and said helplessly.
Did you understand everything the teacher just said?
"Understood, Master!" Naruto nodded immediately.
Naruto felt full of confidence, since the training his teacher had mentioned was exactly what he was good at.
The first step now is to maintain the existence of the Shadow Clones for as long as possible.
"Okay, let's go train under the nearby waterfall now. The first step is to make your Shadow Clones able to continuously and steadily output Chakra to withstand the impact of the waterfall."
"Remember, the purpose of this training is to help you quickly master a sustained, rather than precise Chakra output pattern."
Hagoromo nodded.
This training wasn't for any particular reason; rather, Hagoromo wanted to get Naruto consciously using the Multi Shadow Clone in combat.
In the original work, Naruto's Shadow Clones were almost always destroyed with a single touch. Therefore, it would be beneficial to increase the resistance of the Shadow Clones.
That would be a huge step forward for Naruto.
After all, Chakra has no shortage of Naruto, but by using his Shadow Clones to fight continuously for a long time, he can wear down the enemy.
Moreover, Hagoromo looked at the confident Naruto.
Subsequent training will focus on physical fitness and recovery.
Hagoromo wanted Naruto to be able to break through his limits of endurance and to repair his injuries quickly and independently.
These awakenings of vitality should be actively guided.
The fatigue accumulated during accelerated cultivation using Multi Shadow Clones brings both mental and physical fatigue to a certain threshold.
This allows the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Chakra to be quickly and effectively converted into Naruto's Chakra through the seal.
The most important thing here is to discover Naruto's Uzumaki Constitution and his ability to manipulate the Nine-Tails Chakra.
This training will continue until Naruto has mastered the fundamentals and is able to cooperate with Nine-Tails.
At least we won't have to consult the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki again in the future.
A solid foundation leads to great achievements.
That was the goal that Hagoromo set for Naruto.
Even before graduation, Naruto's strength did not show any significant improvement.
However, his foundation is definitely the most solid among all of them.
Furthermore... besides his inherent Wind Nature, Naruto also needs to learn and develop other attributes.
As a ninja with a lot of explosive power, Hagoromo naturally wouldn't let Naruto only know a single Wind Release Ninjutsu.
After understanding Hagoromo's request, Naruto immediately ran away.
He couldn't wait to start training! He had only one goal!
That means we can't let Sasuke get cocky!
For the next period of time, Naruto immediately threw himself into this high-intensity training.
Every day after training, he felt completely exhausted, not because Nine-Tails was unwilling to cooperate with Naruto.
Instead, the Nine-Tails' Chakra output needs to be kept in balance and gradually increased.
Otherwise, even if Naruto improves later, his Chakra control will decrease.
Moreover, it seems that Hagoromo can sense it.
It seems Naruto is practicing Sealing Jutsu; Naruto himself let it slip to Sasuke.
After all, Sasuke was constantly provoking Naruto every day so that he wouldn't be surpassed by him.
They wanted to use this opportunity to understand Naruto's progress, but little did they know that Naruto was now completely ignoring Sasuke's provocations.
In the end, having no other choice, he smugly declared that he would give Sasuke a big surprise later.
In response, Hagoromo commented that Minato Namikaze a great assist.
He himself only knew how to use Yin-Yang Chakra to enhance the effect of Sealing Jutsu, but he couldn't teach Naruto much.
Unfortunately, the best Sealing Jutsu ninjas in all of Konoha were Kushina and Minato.
As for the rest, Hagoromo could only say that it would have been better not to ask for advice at all.
"Ninja Art: Butterfly Mode: Gluttony Form!"
On the training field, Choji quickly formed hand seals, rapidly transforming the Military Rations Pills he had just swallowed.
Um?
With the activation of this technique, Choji clearly sensed something different.
Butterfly patterns appeared on Choji's body, and his Chakra levels suddenly surged.
The Chakra surge created a gust of wind that swept through the surroundings, drawing the attention of Shikamaru and the others.
"Choji, try it out and see your speed and strength."
Hagoromo then walked over and spoke to Choji.
Choji nodded, then stomped his foot on the ground.
Boom--
Choji's figure flew out like a cannonball, followed by a series of loud crashes as the trees around the training ground fell to the ground.
"Teacher! I've mastered it!"
When Choji returned, he excitedly asked Hagoromo.
Hagoromo nodded and said with a smile, "Not bad, you've mastered it."
Moreover, Choji's form reminded Hagoromo of something: Chakra Mode.
