Participating in the Chunin Exam, I Was Broadcast Live!

Thinking this way.

Kakashi glared fiercely at Zabuza as his consciousness returned to his body.

"!" exclaimed Zabuza!

Zabuza had been stunned by Kakashi's greatly enlarged Water Dragon Bullet, performed with a simplified twelve hand seals.

He, the one who possessed Water Release, questioned why Kakashi, an imitator, could perform it better than the original.

As he pondered this, he noticed Kakashi was beginning to form hand seals again.

"Rooster-Ox-Horse-Snake-Rat-Tiger-Dog-Tiger-Snake"

Ten seals.

Water Dragon Bullet 2 was produced.

And so, two dragons stood there.

However, Tobirama had set the passing requirement at eight seals.

"Rooster-Ox-Horse-Snake-Rat-Tiger-Dog—"

Kakashi could only continue practicing.

Water Dragon Bullet 3 was produced.

[Tobirama Senju]: Are you proud with just eight seals? What did I say when I did it in four?

[Minato Namikaze]...

Fine.

Thus, Kakashi continued to simplify the hand seals, risking exhaustion.

Meanwhile.

Kitahara Kaede, Naruto, and Sasuke sat side-by-side.

Within a small group, having a common enemy unites people.

And having a common goal also unites people.

However, there is one exceptional scenario that can also unite people: everyone sitting down together to spectate, that can also unite people.

Thus, through Kakashi's self-abusive training of his underperforming, Dead Last, ordinary, and generally elite self, the relationship between the three Genin of Team 7 reached a state of harmony.

After an unknown amount of time.

Perhaps feeling the pressure, Kakashi Hatake transcended himself in an instant.

"Zi-Chen-Mao-Yin—"

His hands formed four seals in 1.5 seconds.

And with the completion of these four seals.

"Roar—"

A water dragon ascended to the sky.

Zabuza raised his head in surprise.

Is it coming again?!

But the massive water dragon had already descended, instantly trapping him.

Water Dragon Bullet Showdown... Dead Last Zabuza, defeated!

Chapter 019 Watch closely, this is how Zabuza is used! (Seeking data)

Kakashi Hatake performed a total of

And during this process, he consumed 21 Soldier Pills.

For ordinary novice Genin, this experience provided a lot of growth.

1. Soldier Pills, created by specialized medical ninja, consuming one guarantees energy without needing to eat for a short period and rapidly replenishes chakra.

2. Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet does not require 44 seals; the correct formation is 12 seals. 44 seals is for underperformers.

3. Performing Water Dragon Bullet with 8 seals is considered passing.

4. Performing Water Dragon Bullet with 4 seals is considered excellent, and the current person capable of this is the Second Hokage, Tobirama.

5. Konoha's Second Mizukage... no, the Second Hokage formed a contract with the ocean, allowing him to perform grand, large-scale ninjutsu as effectively as if he were near water, even in places without water.

6. The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, is suspected of being from Kirigakure...

Kitahara Kaede and the other two remained in place, taking notes.

Their Jonin Instructor, Kakashi Hatake, had collapsed from chakra depletion. According to him, he would need to lie down for half a day to recover.

"Being a ninja is truly a dangerous thing," Naruto confirmed this point once again.

"Becoming an excellent ninja is very difficult," Sasuke Uchiha also sank into self-pity.

He harbored hatred he wanted to avenge, but his own strength had never improved.

Now, watching Zabuza and Teacher Kakashi's one-sided battle, he immediately realized how superficial his own abilities were.

So how could someone as weak as him possibly defeat his brother, who had been called a genius since childhood?

Kakashi could now perform hand seals for Water Dragon Bullet four times in 1.5 seconds, but as Sasuke understood it, his brother, Itachi Uchiha, also possessed water-chakra.

And Itachi was a genius; he could use any ninjutsu just by seeing it once in the past.

So... his brother could also release Water Dragon Bullet with only four hand seals.

"My life..." Sasuke Uchiha began to withdraw into himself.

Meanwhile, Kitahara Kaede took out a palm-sized notebook he carried and began to record.

Naruto looked over at him and could see the notes.

[When the use of ninjutsu, chakra control, and hand seals are practiced to the point of perfection, hand seals can be omitted.

It's even possible to not use hand seals at all.]

These were the cheat sheets Kitahara Kaede jotted down after Teacher Kakashi was exhausted.

"You mean to say..." Naruto became interested. "I might also be able to simplify ninjutsu and cast it instantly?"

"There's a possibility," Kitahara Kaede replied.

Naruto was the protagonist of the original story, and also a great Madonna. Protagonists like him came with built-in bugs.

However, Naruto's intelligence wasn't very high, so he hadn't developed in those directions. If he were to be prompted to pursue these avenues, perhaps he could achieve greater growth.

"Then I have to try!" Naruto indeed became excited.

"If I can simplify the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, will I be able to instantly summon a horde of clones to fight?"

"Then it would be multiple against one, which would yield unexpected results!"

It truly was unexpected.

You thought I was alone? Actually, we are a group!

This was a combat style suited for those with abundant chakra.

"However, I suggest you improve your own taijutsu first," Kitahara Kaede said.

"After all, the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu is created using your original body as a template."

"Mhm, mhm—" Naruto found this to be very reasonable.

Or rather, he felt that the people in the village disliked him, despised him, and even held malice towards him.

But from Kitahara Kaede, he received warmth and respect.

Therefore, he believed in his training methods.

And also...

After discovering that ninjutsu could be used smoothly, Naruto had a premonition that he might become stronger.

And if he became stronger, strong enough, he might be able to protect the people he cared about.

First and foremost was fellow student Kitahara, who had helped him.

"I understand." Naruto nodded.

He performed hand seals, and then ten Narutos rushed into the three-bedroom, one-living-room space created by Kitahara Kaede.

Inside were three men.

To be precise, it was Zabuza and his two rogue ninja subordinates.

Originally, it was just a training room for novice genin with two chunin confined inside, but Zabuza had been overwhelmed by Kakashi's eight Water Dragon Bullets, so naturally, Zabuza was now in the room.

"..." Zabuza.

"..." Rogue subordinates X2

"Naruto Uzumaki is here again!"

"If you have the guts, come at us with your original body, not shadow clones!"

"Give us a break!"

The room became very lively.

Zabuza and his two subordinates, who were rogue ninjas from Kirigakure, never imagined they would reach a day like this, becoming... practice targets for someone else.

Outside the door, the original Naruto was quietly meditating, waiting to harvest the experience points from his defeated shadow clones.

His taijutsu wasn't strong, but by doing this, he found he was genuinely improving.

And... the progress was incredibly fast.

If he were to be rated... it would be... he had already reached the level of an elite chunin.

The progress is almost… Godspeed!

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's (^_-) Small Group]

[Minato Namikaze]: Naruto is working so hard. I can feel his fervent desire to become stronger.

[Hashirama Senju]: I can feel him getting stronger too. By the way, this method is amazing.

[Hashirama Senju]: This is the first time I've seen ninja taijutsu trained like this. I want to learn it too!

[Tobirama Senju]: Me too. I originally thought the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu was for espionage, but I never expected it could be used for taijutsu training.

[Tobirama Senju]: Kitahara Kaede's taijutsu training method is incredibly strong! If it could be popularized, Konoha's combat power would at least double!

Tobirama offered his praise.

Meanwhile, Kakashi had already fainted from chakra exhaustion, but that was fine; his consciousness could still join the small group.

[Minato Namikaze]: It's a bit pathetic watching Sasuke desperately consuming Soldier Pills.

Everyone's attention turned to Sasuke Uchiha.

Naruto's taijutsu experience points were rapidly increasing, all thanks to the effects of the Multiple Shadow Clones.

However, Sasuke lacked the chakra to learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, so naturally, he couldn't cheat like Naruto.

Although he tried using Soldier Pills, they could only replenish his chakra, not increase his maximum chakra reserves. Therefore… he still couldn't reach the chakra levels required for shadow clones.

Finally.

Watching Naruto continuously enter the room with the three men, growing stronger…

Sasuke stood up.

"Kitahara Kaede!"

Sasuke approached Kitahara Kaede. "I am the valedictorian of the Ninja Academy."

"That's just a meaningless title."
