Kakashi turned his head immediately upon hearing Yao's request, his tone unusually serious as he warned him:

"Hey, hey, don't do anything reckless!"

"The Shadow Clone Technique is an A-rank forbidden jutsu developed by the Second Hokage, it's extremely dangerous!"

"For an ordinary ninja, if they create more than twenty Shadow Clones, they could potentially drain all their Chakra and die!"

"So, the prerequisite for learning this jutsu is to possess an exceptionally vast amount of Chakra to support it!"

"Therefore... this isn't a jutsu you can just try casually!"

Sasuke frowned, a hint of defiance in his voice:

"If that's the case, why can Naruto, that dead last, learn and use such a forbidden jutsu?"

In Sasuke's eyes, no ninja was more inept than Naruto.

Yet, this dead last could somehow perform an outrageous number of Shadow Clones, it was simply unreasonable!

Kakashi scratched his silver hair and explained, "Well, that's because Naruto's constitution... is rather special!"

"His Chakra amount is abnormal, so he can support it!"

Naruto's mother was Kushina Uzumaki, and he was also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki; his Chakra was not comparable to ordinary people.

Abnormal constitution?

Sasuke glanced at Naruto. Besides being overly energetic, this guy didn't seem to have anything else remarkable.

"It's fine!"

Yao smiled. "I'll just give it a try. If I can't learn it, then so be it!"

After speaking, he looked at Naruto, "So, what's the hand seal?"

"It's very simple! Watch closely!"

Naruto didn't hold back at all and immediately formed a Ram seal:

"It's just like this! Then you just need to mobilize your Chakra!"

"It's that simple?"

Sasuke was a bit taken aback. Was the hand seal for an A-rank forbidden jutsu just this one?

"It's that simple!"

Naruto nodded affirmatively.

Yao pondered, quickly analyzing the principles of Chakra flow and distribution in his mind.

He quickly understood the essence of this jutsu: the technique itself was super simple!

But the test of Chakra amount and control was monstrous.

"So that's how it is!"

Yao took a deep breath and quickly formed a Ram seal with his hands.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Bang bang bang bang bang!!!

A series of explosions sounded.

In an instant, with Yao's main body as the center, thick white smoke spread outwards like a tide.

As the white smoke quickly dispersed, Kakashi was stunned into silence.

Even Naruto's mouth hung open, wide enough to fit an egg.

As far as the eye could see, densely packed, stood countless black-haired, black-eyed... Uchiha Yao clones!

Not dozens, not a hundred, but... over a thousand!

These Shadow Clones stood there like replicas.

The visual impact and pressure they brought were immense!

"Are... are you kidding me?" Sasuke subconsciously took half a step back, his voice a little dry.

This number was even more outrageous than that idiot Naruto's. Just how much Chakra did this Yao guy have?

Was he an Uchiha?

Kakashi's expression completely froze, his exposed dead fish eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

This scale of Shadow Clones... Yao actually managed it?

Just how vast was his Chakra amount?

Through his previous fight with Yao, Kakashi had realized that Yao's Chakra amount was also quite large.

But that "large" was based on him being a Genin who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy.

Not like this!

To create so many Shadow Clones in one go, how much Chakra would that take?

Is it comparable to a Tailed Beast?

Naruto erupted in a huge cheer: "Waaah!! You're amazing, Yo! You're even better than me!!"

Yo felt the still abundant Chakra within him and nodded with satisfaction. Truly worthy of the Sage Body!

From now on, he could also use Shadow Clones to cheat his way through training.

"Teacher Kakashi, this Ninjutsu isn't that difficult!"

Yo looked at Kakashi, showing a pure and harmless smile.

Kakashi: "..."

He was now absolutely sure.

This Team 7 he was leading was definitely the most outrageous and monstrous team in Konoha's history.

These three brats...

Not a single one of them was easy to handle!

Sasuke was someone who refused to admit defeat.

It was one thing for Naruto, that dead last, to be able to create hundreds or thousands of Shadow Clones, but even Yo could do it?

"Hmph... it's just Shadow Clones... I can do it too!"

Sasuke snorted, suppressing the shock in his heart, and quickly formed the same hand seal.

"Multi Shadow Clone Technique!"

Sasuke shouted, mobilizing all the Chakra within him.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

White smoke exploded one after another.

Sasuke could clearly feel the Chakra within him pouring out like a breached floodgate.

When the number of Shadow Clones barely broke the fifty mark.

Sasuke felt a strong wave of dizziness wash over him. His body felt hollowed out, his Chakra on the verge of depletion.

Sasuke's face turned pale. He braced himself with one hand on his knee, breathing heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He looked at Yo's thousand-plus clones, then at his own fifty Shadow Clones, and a strong sense of defeat surged in his heart.

Why?

Why, even with all my effort, can I only achieve this much?

Is my capacity... truly only this limited?

Kakashi looked at Sasuke's state with some pity for the boy.

Having a monstrous brother like that must put a lot of pressure on him, right?

Kakashi knew Sasuke was proud, so this blow must have been significant.

Just as he was about to offer some words of comfort, he heard Naruto next to him scratching his head without a care in the world, laughing heartily:

"Hahaha! Smug Sasuke, you really can't do it! You're already done with just this many Shadow Clones!"

These words were like salt poured onto Sasuke's wounds.

Sasuke suddenly looked up, glaring fiercely at Naruto.

But his weakened body left him without the strength to even retort.

He could only grit his teeth and swallow the humiliation and unwillingness.

Yo glanced at his disheartened little brother and shook his head slightly.

Without the Sage Body, forcibly imitating this Chakra-guzzling technique would obviously lead to this outcome.

But Yo didn't comfort his foolish little brother. His little brother's psychological resilience had always been strong.

After all, the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, where he angrily awakened his Sharingan, wasn't just for show, was it?

Yo walked over to Sasuke and patted his shoulder:

"Don't worry too much, little brother. This technique isn't really suited for you!"

"The talent of our Uchiha Clan lies in the Sharingan!"

"You awakened yours at seven years old!"

"Your talent with the Sharingan is clearly stronger than mine!"

"So don't get stuck on one point; learn to leverage your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, learn to develop and utilize the Sharingan!"

"As long as you can develop your Sharingan to the Three-Tomoe level, your strength will steadily reach the elite Jonin level!"

Sasuke was still unwilling, but he felt slightly better.

The only thing he currently surpassed Yo in was the Sharingan.

After all, he awakened his Sharingan at 7, while Yao still hasn't.

It's something to console himself with!

"We're twins, so why is your Chakra so immense?" Sasuke still felt a bit resentful.

Kakashi, hearing this, couldn't help but look at Uchiha Yao.

"Perhaps..."

Yao smiled: "I'm not a qualified Uchiha, am I?"

Uchiha are all madmen, and Yao considered himself quite sane.

Compared to them, he was indeed not a very qualified Uchiha!
