Bang! Bang! Bang!!

Feng Ye's fists continuously struck the wooden post, producing dull thuds. The tough, specially made post bore clearly visible dents from his punches.

He was still extremely diligent when it came to Taijutsu training.

The ability of Time Acceleration currently served two purposes for him. One was granting him a base speed several times greater than ordinary people's in battle, and it could be stacked at will.

The second was increasing the speed of training—or rather, increasing the time available for training!

When he trained while under Time Acceleration, three hours of his own training meant only one hour passed in the outside world!

Come to think of it.

Whether in battle or training, Time Acceleration seemed to enhance only speed, but strength was actually included as well. According to Newton's Second Law, force equaled mass times acceleration... and that law still applied in the Naruto World.

Feng Ye vaguely remembered a character from some world saying something like this—speed was power. Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?!

If his speed could truly reach light speed under Time Acceleration, the force of a single blow would probably be enough to destroy heaven and earth!

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

After briefly adapting to the Triple Speed state, Feng Ye stopped moving. His hands formed seals in an instant, and he used the Shadow Clone Technique.

Bang! Bang!

As smoke spread out, two identical Feng Yes appeared to his left and right.

Feng Ye naturally could not overlook the Shadow Clone Technique, a Ninjutsu that could be called the strongest training aid. He had obtained the method for training it from Kakashi long ago.

If he used this technique at the academy, it would undoubtedly make jaws drop all over the floor. The Shadow Clone Technique was B-rank Ninjutsu, a full three ranks above the E-rank Basic Clone Technique!

Even some Chunin might not be able to use the Shadow Clone Technique proficiently!

This proficient use of the Shadow Clone Technique alone was already enough to crush most students and qualify him for early graduation from the Ninja Academy.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After appearing, the two Shadow Clones ran toward opposite sides of the yard.

One Shadow Clone picked up a short blade placed on the left side of the yard. It was White Fang, the ninja blade left behind by Hatake Sakumo, which Feng Ye, as the eldest son, had inherited.

Feng Ye had also been practicing the Hatake Swordsmanship that was famous throughout the Shinobi World. Since it was essentially Taijutsu combined with Chakra, it was an ability highly compatible with Time Acceleration.

It could be said that—

If he could train Hatake Swordsmanship to the level of Konoha's White Fang, then roaming the Shinobi World unhindered would be no problem at all. In a speed-boosted state, he could even fight those beings beyond Kage level.

The other Shadow Clone stood in another corner of the yard, gathering Chakra in its palm and condensing it into a spherical form... That was right, the Rasengan.

The core of the Rasengan was Chakra shape transformation. Since it was also a close-range Ninjutsu, it likewise suited the time-accelerated state. More importantly, practicing the Rasengan helped improve Chakra control.

By now, Feng Ye had long passed training such as tree climbing and water walking.

To further improve his Chakra control, practicing the Rasengan was undoubtedly an excellent method. But because his Chakra reserves were nowhere near as absurd as Naruto's, his progress in training the Rasengan was not very fast. Even after several months, he had only completed half of it.

"With the Triple Speed state, my body should grow to about the level of a ten-year-old in another month. That should barely meet the requirements for training the Eight Inner Gates."

Feng Ye trained while pondering his future direction.

The Eight Inner Gates were very important to him. Because the side effects were severe and he was too young to train in them, he had not tried to secretly learn them from Might Duy.

No matter what, though, he still had to obtain the training method for the Eight Inner Gates. Despite its enormous side effects, its usefulness was beyond doubt.

Feng Ye understood his training core very clearly: improve his strength as comprehensively as possible. That way, while in a Time Acceleration state, he could exert three times, five times his usual power!

After all, the Phantom Clock gave him something almost like a side-effect-free, constantly active Limited Over Time—a superior version of that ability from the Holy Grail World!

Swish! Swish! Swish!!

The clone holding White Fang continuously swung the Chakra-infused short blade on the eastern side of the small yard.

Shadow Clones could not enjoy the effects of Time Acceleration, but that did not prevent Feng Ye from using them to train. What he needed was merely the experience and proficiency of practicing Hatake Swordsmanship.

The Shadow Clone on the other side gathered strands of Chakra in its palm, making the Chakra spin continuously and form a hazy spherical glow.

Poof! Poof!

After training for a while, the two Shadow Clones exhausted their Chakra and dispersed into white smoke.

Feng Ye stopped moving and felt the experience and memories from the Shadow Clones flow into his mind, where he quickly absorbed and integrated them.

After taking a deep breath, Feng Ye formed seals once more.

Bang! Bang!

Two more Shadow Clones appeared.

After using the Shadow Clone Technique for the second time, a faint sheen of sweat appeared on Feng Ye's forehead. He could clearly feel that the Chakra within his body was beginning to run low.

"Chakra reserves are always going to be a problem..."

Feng Ye sighed inwardly.

Naruto, who could train with dozens or even hundreds of Shadow Clones, really was a freak—a freak among freaks. It was simply outrageous.

After all, he possessed the Uzumaki Clan's physique while also being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. His Chakra reserves were unimaginably vast and impossible to imitate.

After training for a little while longer.

The two Shadow Clones once again turned into white smoke and vanished.

Feng Ye did not create any more Shadow Clones. His main body had been continuously training Taijutsu and consuming Chakra as well. Using the Shadow Clone Technique twice, creating two clones each time, was about his limit for now.

"One thousand three hundred seventy-seven, one thousand three hundred seventy-eight..."

He repeatedly used the same side kick, striking one side of the specially made wooden post. Feng Ye counted silently until his body could no longer endure, then finally stopped.

Without deactivating Time Acceleration, Feng Ye maintained the accelerated state as he walked to one side of the yard. He slowly picked up a cup, took a sip of water, and ate two biscuits.

Recovery was faster under Time Acceleration as well.

If he kept Triple Speed Time Acceleration active at all times, every day was equivalent to seventy-two hours for Feng Ye. During that time, he had to eat nine meals and sleep three times.

I don't know whether I could train with every bone in my body broken and a forty-nine-degree fever, but training for more than twenty-five hours a day is definitely possible...

Feng Ye silently complained to himself.
