"Tsk~"
Naruto, with his eyes closed, kept frowning.
The teacher expanded the range of the Chakra seals, making them even harder to find than in the training grounds he was familiar with.
He remembered what his father had told him: to use his senses to see, but his senses were limited to a certain range.
If you want to go any further, you'll naturally have to move around frequently.
Hey!
Thinking of this, Naruto opened his eyes. Perhaps this is one way to do it?
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Bang--
Two clones of Naruto appeared on the spot, and Naruto smirked, "You two, act as I just planned!"
"No problem."
Naruto's two Shadow Clones took a single step and left.
"Hehe, that should work."
Naruto, meanwhile, was wiping his nose with an excited expression.
He simply closed his eyes and waited. Sure enough, in less than a minute, new Chakra mark coordinates began to appear in Naruto's senses.
"It works!"
However, the next moment Naruto couldn't help but scratch his forehead, even though his sensory range had increased.
However, he himself also needed to go to the location of the Shadow Clone, which made it impossible for him to do what the teacher required.
Moreover, once actions are taken, perception becomes very inaccurate.
After thinking for a while and Naruto unable to get around this issue, Naruto had no choice but to find Hagoromo and tell him his thoughts.
In the training ground, after listening to Naruto's words, Hagoromo looked at Naruto with a strange expression.
Using Shadow Clones to expand one's own sensory range is actually possible.
But--
Not everyone can do that.
The first rule is that the two Shadow Clones cannot escape the range of Naruto's Mind's Eye of the Kagura. The second rule is that he cannot create too many Shadow Clones.
Otherwise, once the clone dissipates, this experience could instantly kill an ordinary Jonin.
Naruto is now completely centering his actions on his own body, using his Shadow Clones as drones.
By using Mind's Eye of the Kagura's special perception to connect with each other, the scope of this perception is expanded.
Given that Sasuke possessed these resources and was able to devise this plan, it's not surprising that Hagoromo did.
But why would Naruto suddenly come up with such a thing?
"Naruto, did you suddenly think of this? Or..."
Hearing Hagoromo's words, Naruto scratched his head, looking confused. "I was just thinking that since you expanded the range, I was wondering if I could expand my sensory range as well."
"But after I finished it, I realized that expanding my sensory range didn't seem to make a difference."
"That's all?"
Hagoromo was completely stunned. Just one idea, and then a casual experiment, and it worked?
No, are you just playing around?
Clutching her throbbing temples, Hagoromo Yi suddenly understood why Kakashi sometimes felt so helpless towards Naruto.
This kind of unexpectedness is truly remarkable.
However, despite this, Naruto was able to complete this operation in one go.
This indicates that his Chakra control ability is already quite strong.
However, Hagoromo still felt she should explain this to Naruto.
"Alright, Naruto, you did a really good job." Hagoromo looked at Naruto with a smile.
This is indeed a brilliant maneuver.
"Hehe~" Naruto scratched his head sheepishly upon hearing this.
"However, the teacher still wants to remind you that you can use Shadow Clones in this way."
"However, with your current physical abilities, you can only create a maximum of ten Multi Shadow Clones. You should know that the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is one of the few Forbidden Jutsu that won't kill you immediately, but will gradually break you down."
"Huh? Is it that serious?"
Naruto looked surprised, even though he mostly used it for training after learning it.
However, she did not experience the severe consequences that Hagoromo had described.
Hagoromo, looking exasperated, ruffled Naruto's hair and said irritably, "You need to know that the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is a technique that even Jonin have been ordered to use only in special circumstances."
"The terrifying aspect of this spell is that the damage accumulates in increments of several levels."
"If you use the Multi Shadow Clone Technique to manipulate this, the consequences will be the same if you desperately unleash Mind's Eye of the Kagura after dispelling the Shadow Clone Technique."
Just think how big that number is.
"This isn't a simple matter of one plus one equals two."
Hearing Hagoromo's serious explanation, Naruto finally realized what was happening, and his face immediately turned pale.
After all, when he was practicing Mind's Eye of the Kagura before, he had tried to unleash a massive amount of Chakra in an instant to expand his target.
The memory of that splitting headache is still vivid in my mind.
"I understand, teacher." Naruto nodded quickly; he really wouldn't dare to mess around with something like this.
"As for what you said about how to reliably determine the Chakra mark as it moves and expands in area."
Hagoromo sighed and said, "The teacher meant for you to wander around and find it on your own, so some places were set up in rather hidden locations."
"If it's your Chakra mark, there's really no need for all this trouble."
"It's only necessary to do this now so that you can perceive the imprints of others."
After all, this was Minato Namikaze's intention.
The purpose was to train Naruto to develop this sensory ability so that he could Naruto these Chakra imprints.
As conspicuous as Fire Fly in the night.
Little did anyone expect that Naruto, in order to expand his sensory range, would first create such a technique that combines Shadow Clone with Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
Um?
Hagoromo was stunned by this thought.
Have you mastered the inscription pattern?
"An inscription formula? The one Dad taught me? The pattern he gave me was too complicated."
Naruto looked distressed as he finished speaking.
"You demonstrate first, let me see," Hagoromo said.
"Alright." Naruto nodded and immediately pulled out a small piece of wood, Chakra gathering on his fingers.
He then began to slowly 'draw' the pattern he had described on the wood.
When Hagoromo saw Naruto drop the first pattern, he knew what it was.
The Sword of Shinobi Love.
"Alright, teacher, that's it." After Naruto finished drawing, he turned to look at Hagoromo.
Hagoromo Yi stroked her chin, took the Kunai, and examined it for a long time before saying:
"Naruto, what if we changed it to a different pattern?"
"Other patterns?" Naruto blinked, looking puzzled.
"Yes, for example, aren't you used to drawing Rasengan? Then try drawing a simple spiral pattern."
Hagoromo nodded, reached out and erased the four characters on the wood, then handed it back to Naruto.
Naruto, who took it, squinted and thought about it carefully.
Hagoromo, standing nearby, reminded her, "Try to imagine the feeling of the Shape Transformation when you condense Rasengan."
"Then, carve this mark directly onto the wood."
"No problem!" Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately had a goal in mind, Chakra appeared in his palm as he slid it towards the wood.
The next instant, a simple spiral mark appeared directly on the wood.
