Clone Technique

Ye Lan chuckled, taking it as a tacit agreement, and didn't say anything else.

After waiting for a short while, Iruka entered from outside the door. Ye Lan subconsciously glanced at Iruka, and a very familiar feeling arose spontaneously.

Iruka was Naruto's teacher. His hair was tied up, and a long scar ran across the bridge of his nose. That was his defining characteristic. Moreover, Iruka was a Chunin, but his strength was still quite good, and his personality was also very good. That was Ye Lan's impression of Iruka.

Seeing Kakashi and Ye Lan, he greeted them, "Kakashi, what brings you here?"

Kakashi looked at Iruka and said with a smile, "Aren't I bringing you a new student?"

"A new student?" Iruka was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Lan and said, "I don't think I've ever seen you in the village before. You look very familiar, and I usually only recruit very young students here. Someone your age... wouldn't... not even know the Clone Technique, would you?"

Ye Lan smiled awkwardly.

Kakashi interjected, "His name is Ye Lan. He came from another village and plans to reside in Konoha Village for a long time. From now on, he'll be one of us. That's why he's here to take a test and get a Forehead Protector, so he can be considered a Genin."

Iruka suddenly understood, "I see. Well, Ye Lan, we teach some pretty basic Ninjutsu at the Ninja Academy. The so-called graduation exam is just... things like shuriken and the Clone Technique. I wonder if you know the Clone Technique?"

Ye Lan scratched his head somewhat awkwardly upon hearing this, and then said, "I'm not very good at that yet."

Kakashi, who was standing to the side, looked incredulous. Someone who knew even the Great Fire Annihilation didn't know the Clone Technique?

Iruka said with a smile, "Well, then I'll teach you now. Judging from the Chakra in your body, learning the Clone Technique shouldn't be too difficult. I'll perform the hand seals first, and you can take a close look. After you learn it, go back and practice a little, and you can come here to take the exam in a few days."

As Iruka spoke, he formed the hand seals. In just an instant, a clone that looked exactly like Iruka appeared beside him. If one didn't know Iruka's situation, even Ye Lan wouldn't be able to tell which one was the real Iruka.

Iruka dispelled the clone, then asked Ye Lan, "Well, did you see my hand seals clearly?"

Ye Lan grinned, then quickly formed the hand seals and shouted, "Clone Technique!"

Two clones appeared simultaneously. Two clones that looked exactly like Ye Lan appeared beside him, and their Chakra concentration wasn't low either.

Seeing this scene, both Kakashi and Iruka were stunned in place for a moment.

Iruka had told Ye Lan to come back in a few days to take the exam. He hadn't expected that Ye Lan would actually be able to perform the Clone Technique after just seeing the hand seals once. How was that possible?

That was something ordinary people simply couldn't do. Because learning a Ninjutsu involved not only learning the hand seals, but also achieving resonance with the body. The more difficult the Ninjutsu, the more this was the case. So, under normal circumstances, even the most basic Ninjutsu would take at least three to five days to learn, but Ye Lan had actually learned it so quickly. This was simply overturning Iruka's understanding!

As for Kakashi, he was squinting at Ye Lan.
