Shadow Clone and Rasengan

The next morning, Gu Qi was already up early, running laps around the village.

This was the training plan Might Guy had specifically made for Gu Qi when they parted ways yesterday.

As Might Guy had requested, Gu Qi needed to run one lap around the village every morning as a warm-up, followed by ten thousand frog jumps to train his lower body.

Next, he had to punch trees to strengthen his arms and legs.

According to Might Guy, this was to help Gu Qi build a solid foundation. Therefore, Gu Qi had to do this every day for the next year.

Furthermore, to train Gu Qi's agility, Might Guy specifically required him to wear weights during training.

First, he would start with 5kg.

Thus, Gu Qi had weights weighing 1kg each on his limbs and body.

"Yo, Gu Qi, training so early!"

Konohagakure wasn't exactly small, nor was it tiny. As Gu Qi ran, he encountered quite a few familiar faces.

When these people heard that Gu Qi was training Taijutsu with Might Guy, they all showed looks of sympathy.

"Gu Qi, keep it up."

By the time Gu Qi finished his lap around the village, it was already eight in the morning.

Keep in mind, he had started running at six.

"It seems the weights are having quite an impact on me," Gu Qi muttered to himself.

Compared to yesterday, Gu Qi had gained a full half hour today.

After finishing his warm-up, Gu Qi began his frog jumps.

Under the smiles of the unknowing bystanders, Gu Qi began his frog jumps around the village.

After the frog jumps, it was time to punch trees.

By the time all of this was finished, it was already lunchtime.

Returning home, after feeding his three exhausted Ninja Dogs Dried Meat and Secret Brew, Gu Qi began practicing the Rasengan.

"Wait a minute, did I forget something?" Gu Qi wondered, looking at the water sphere in his hand.

Suddenly, Gu Qi had an epiphany: "Right, I completely forgot about water walking training."

Gu Qi suddenly remembered that the next step after tree climbing was water walking.

Looking at the water sphere in his hand, Gu Qi put it aside after some thought and left with some Dried Meat.

Arriving at a waterfall in the village, Gu Qi set down his backpack.

Then, Gu Qi gathered Chakra at the soles of his feet, preparing to start his water walking training.

Tree climbing focused on concentrating Chakra, while water walking focused on the sustained supply of Chakra.

To practice the Rasengan, Gu Qi had to master both these Chakra control methods perfectly.

Stepping into the river, Gu Qi continuously supplied Chakra.

Unlike tree climbing, where Chakra adhered to the tree trunk, water walking involved releasing an opposing force, allowing Gu Qi to walk and run on the water's surface.

"Huh? Why is this so easy!" After taking many steps, Gu Qi found it incredibly effortless.

"Could it be? Am I truly a genius?" Gu Qi couldn't help but wonder.

Gu Qi had always had a very vague concept of his own talent.

It wasn't Gu Qi's fault; he simply had no benchmarks for comparison.

Because at his age, Gu Qi was invincible.

However, compared to Kakashi at the same age, he seemed somewhat inferior. This was mainly because Kakashi never told Gu Qi how formidable he was at this point.

Gu Qi spent the entire afternoon deepening his water walking training, making him more adept at it.

Returning home in the evening, Gu Qi immediately woke up his three Ninja Dogs, who were fast asleep.

Seeing the three Ninja Dogs looking at him pitifully, Gu Qi said resolutely, "No sleeping, or you guys won't be able to sleep tonight. Then I'll be miserable."

Under Gu Qi's intimidating presence, coupled with the delicious food before them, the three Ninja Dogs could only obediently get up.

"Alright, after you eat, we'll play in the yard for a bit. Remember, no relieving yourselves anywhere," Gu Qi instructed.

After the three Ninja Dogs came downstairs, Gu Qi uncharacteristically took out his Elementary Mathematics textbook to study.

Gu Qi hadn't studied for a long time since he started trying to turn the Electromagnetic Shield into a Ninjutsu.

Now that he finally had some free time, Gu Qi dared not relax too much.

He knew that without any external help, Gu Qi could only cling to the system to survive in this world.

The next day at noon, after Gu Qi completed his morning Taijutsu training, he took out his water sphere and began practicing the Rasengan.

As an A-rank Ninjutsu, the Rasengan not only had immense power and required no hand seals, but most importantly, its training difficulty was extremely high.

This jutsu was created by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who was inspired by the Tailed Beast Bomb. He spent three years developing it.

Gu Qi didn't think his talent could compare to the ninja widely recognized as the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze.

Holding the water sphere, Gu Qi controlled his Chakra, constantly spinning it in one direction.

The essence of the Rasengan is a technique that concentrates Chakra and spins it at high speed within a small area, generating immense tearing force to destroy enemy defenses.

Only with excellent control over Chakra can one use this technique at will.

The water in the sphere in Gu Qi's hand spun continuously, first to the left, then to the right.

However, when Gu Qi tried to spin it left and right simultaneously, he failed.

"Do I have to learn from Naruto and use both hands?"

Gu Qi was actually a perfectionist and still hoped to operate the Rasengan with one hand.

"I don't believe it!" Gu Qi continuously injected Chakra and kept trying, but ultimately failed.

"As expected, I'm not a genius!" Gu Qi sighed.

After finishing the entire piece of Dried Meat, Gu Qi still hadn't managed to make the water sphere explode.

However, Gu Qi had no intention of giving up. If he couldn't do it in a day, he'd take a week. If he couldn't do it in a week, he'd take a month.

One day, Gu Qi was sure he would master this technique.

The next day, despite the heavy rain, Gu Qi still completed the homework assigned by Might Guy.

Returning home, Gu Qi gave his three Ninja Dogs a hot bath before continuing his first stage of Rasengan training.

He still hadn't succeeded by evening.

"No, this is taking too much time. It seems I need to learn the Shadow Clone Technique." Gu Qi felt this was inefficient and was wasting time.

So, Gu Qi took out the scroll again and studied the Shadow Clone Technique, an overpowered Ninjutsu.

The Shadow Clone Technique is essentially an enhanced version of the Clone Technique, dividing the user's Chakra equally among the clones.

This way, what were originally mere illusions became independent entities.

For Gu Qi, who had already mastered the Clone Technique, this was very simple.

In one night, Gu Qi learned how to use this Ninjutsu.

Another day passed, and Gu Qi once again completed the inhuman training required by Might Guy.

At noon, Gu Qi created a Shadow Clone.

"You're going to train your Chakra, read books, and study, understand?" Gu Qi commanded the clone.

"Got it~" the clone replied lazily.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so lazy." Gu Qi said, displeased.

"Got it~"

Looking at his listless clone, Gu Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Meanwhile, the three Ninja Dogs beside Gu Qi, seeing another Gu Qi appear, wore confused expressions.

They looked from the Shadow Clone to Gu Qi, seeming unsure.

Gu Qi glanced at the three dogs, told them to play in the yard, and then continued his Rasengan training.

Yesterday's failure had greatly discouraged Gu Qi.

So today, Gu Qi decided to follow the anime's plot and use both hands to complete the first stage of training, just like Naruto.

Gu Qi held the water sphere in his left hand and covered it with his right.

Then, Gu Qi's left hand output Chakra, spinning it to the left, while his right hand injected Chakra, spinning it to the right.

Under the action of the two forces, the water sphere immediately became uneven.

With a snap, the water sphere finally couldn't withstand Gu Qi's torment and exploded to express its displeasure.

"Great, I succeeded!" Gu Qi said happily.

Although Gu Qi had copied Naruto's idea, he was still very happy to have achieved it.

He spent the entire night continuously tormenting the water spheres using this method.

One reason was to familiarize himself with the feeling and deepen his impression, and the other was that Gu Qi had bought so many water spheres, and it would be a waste to leave them unused.

When all the water spheres had exploded, it was already evening.

He found his clone and absorbed it. Soon, a flood of memories surged into Gu Qi's mind.
