Although he successfully used the Sharingan to pick his nose, the Earth Style and Water Style Chakra spheres in Mo Chen's hands were merely superficial. It was impossible to use Ninjutsu with them.
He quickly realized this and dispersed the Chakra spheres.
Mo Chen scratched his head and said to Yamato, "I was just imitating Teacher Yamato's movements, but it seems like it's not working. It has no power at all."
"No!" Yamato said, utterly shocked. "This already has the prototype of nature transformation, and you're even using two elements simultaneously. You're even more of a genius than I imagined... No, this is already monstrous."
"Although your current Chakra attributes aren't enough to support you in using ninjutsu, since you have the prototype, you'll be able to master it quickly with a little more practice."
At the same time, Mo Chen seemed to completely bypass the initial Chakra control that beginners needed to master.
The fact that Mo Chen could condense a sphere of different elemental Chakra in each hand was enough to prove that his Chakra control level was quite high.
"Is that so!" Mo Chen pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, "Teacher Yamato, why don't you teach me the Shadow Clone technique? I heard that with the Shadow Clone technique, the clone's experience will accumulate to the main body."
"If I learn this, I can cultivate Earth Style and Water Style simultaneously, right? This will save time and speed up my training efficiency."
Although the Wood Style clone would definitely be better, Mo Chen hadn't mastered true Wood Style yet.
"This..." Yamato hesitated, instinctively wanting to refuse.
No one had ever tried the Shadow Clone training method before, and it was obviously very dangerous.
Even splitting out one or two Shadow Clones to train together would be too much for ordinary people to handle. The danger level was no less than a ninja low on Chakra using Multiple Shadow Clone.
However, Yamato quickly remembered that Mo Chen had awakened the complete Wood Style.
He stepped forward and checked Mo Chen's physique, indeed finding that Mo Chen's Chakra was as vast as an ocean.
Wood Style represented vitality, and strong vitality would also drive Chakra growth.
No, this couldn't even be called Chakra anymore; it should be called Chakra Sea!
Of course, at Mo Chen's current level, he could only effectively utilize about one or two-tenths, or even less.
But regardless, as long as he could withstand the mental shock when the Shadow Clones were dispelled, Mo Chen could completely use this method to train.
"I can teach you Shadow Clone, but remember, using Shadow Clones for training is risky. It's not just about the average distribution of Chakra; stamina and spirit will also be consumed simultaneously."
Yamato solemnly warned him, "I'm not worried about your Chakra, but if your stamina and spirit are over-consumed, you could die suddenly."
"So, initially, we need to find out your limit. Let's start by creating one Shadow Clone to train together for an hour and see the results. If you can handle it, we'll gradually increase the number of Shadow Clones."
Since Mo Chen had brought it up himself, Yamato knew he wouldn't be satisfied with just one Shadow Clone, so prior warning was necessary.
Although Mo Chen felt Yamato was being a bit too cautious, he didn't object and agreed with a nod.
Using the Shadow Clone technique didn't require much skill. As long as one understood the principle of the Clone technique and had enough Chakra, it could be easily performed.
Moreover, due to the influence of fabricating the future, Mo Chen felt his talent was terrifyingly strong right now.
For such a simple and crude Ninjutsu, Mo Chen didn't even need the Sharingan.
After Yamato described it once, before he could even demonstrate, Mo Chen successfully performed it.
Yamato marveled at Mo Chen's astonishing talent once again, then also created a clone to provide Mo Chen with one-on-one instruction.
One would cultivate Earth Style, and the other Water Style.
As Yamato had said, the prototype of nature transformation was already present, and Mo Chen easily got the hang of it.
The next step was practice. With every attempt, he improved at a visible rate.
After three to five tries, he had the skill level to perform D-rank Ninjutsu.
In about ten minutes, he had the skill level to perform C-rank Ninjutsu.
By the time half an hour had passed, he had reached the level required to fuse with Wood Style.
However, Yamato didn't teach him Wood Style immediately. In Yamato's words, Mo Chen's progress was too fast. Although his steps were steady and his foundation was solid, he lacked depth.
Therefore, he asked Mo Chen to first master some more common Earth Style and Water Style techniques.
But in reality, Mo Chen's progress speed was so astonishing that it scared Yamato.
If he taught Mo Chen Wood Style now, he worried that Mo Chen would completely surpass him in raw power today.
Yamato wasn't afraid of a disciple outshining the master, but he was afraid Mo Chen would overreach himself.
True strength is never achieved overnight; it is built step by step through combat.
Genin - Senior Genin - Chunin - Elite Chunin - Special Jonin - Jonin.
Each stage of strength has different mental journeys and growth environments.
If one skipped directly from Genin to Jonin, they would miss the scenery along the way, easily developing flaws like "let them eat cake."
This was also the main reason why many born prodigies, or those who gained power through some means, would show fatal weaknesses at critical moments and be defeated by their opponents.
Since Mo Chen called Yamato "teacher," Yamato had to be responsible for him.
Not just in terms of strength, but his mindset was even more crucial.
Hokage's Office.
The Third Hokage looked at the document in his hand, his face filled with disbelief.
His hand holding the document trembled, his mouth agape. He didn't even notice the pipe falling to the ground.
After a day of investigation, he had straightened out Mo Chen's family tree.
It was just that this file, no matter how he looked at it, didn't seem real.
Mo Chen's father was a member of the Senju clan who had hidden his surname and integrated into the village. This was actually expected.
But his father had another identity: the biological grandson of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju!
Then, Mo Chen's mother was Fugaku Uchiha's cousin!
Because she had gotten together with Mo Chen's father privately and was not tolerated by the Uchiha clan.
So, during an outdoor mission, she faked her death, changed her identity, and lived a life in hiding.
Mo Chen's grandfather, who was Tobirama Senju's son, was personally hidden by Tobirama, so much so that even his disciples didn't know about him.
Therefore, the records from that period were rather vague. They could only confirm that Mo Chen's grandfather was indeed Tobirama Senju's son, but other details were unknown, and his wife's identity had not yet been found.
Tobirama Senju actually had little interest in women, but after Hashirama died, his eldest sister-in-law acted as a mother. Under the strong coercion of his elder sister-in-law, Mito Uzumaki, he married one of Mito's cousins.
So, by calculation, Mo Chen was not only a direct descendant of the Second Hokage and possessed Senju blood, but he also had Uzumaki blood and Uchiha blood.
In summary, Mo Chen could be considered the Third Hokage's grandchild, and Tsunade's grand-nephew.
He was cousins with Sasuke, and also a distant relative of Naruto.
With such a background and bloodline, he was practically stacked with buffs!
[Happy New Year!!]
