Kakashi gazed at Konohamaru's retreating figure, his eyes blurring with tears.

Even though Kakashi has already ingested a lot of Hashirama Cells given to him by Obito, his Mangekyo Sharingan still flared up.

This isn't a vision problem; it's an emotional resonance!

Kakashi could see the backs of Naruto's teachers Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, when he looked at Naruto.

Now, when you look at Konohamaru, you can also see the backs of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Asuma Sarutobi.

Not only that, Kakashi also thought of a derivative version of Obito's classic line, "Those who don't follow the rules are called trash, and those who don't cherish their comrades are even worse than trash."

--A person without a hook is called a eunuch, but a person who cannot protect his companions is even worse than a eunuch!

Huh?

Why does it feel like I'm criticizing myself?

Kakashi shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.

" Konohamaru, let's work together."

"Good!"

"..."

After the heated exchange ended, Kakashi began to analyze the specific situation.

Neither he nor Konohamaru could possibly have as much Chakra as Naruto.

It's virtually impossible to quickly enter Sage Mode by relying on a large number of Shadow Clone Jutsu as feedback mechanisms.

What they need to do now is to come up with a way to shorten the time as much as possible.

As Kakashi racked his brains, Konohamaru suddenly nudged him. " Kakashi-sensei, I have an idea."

"What?"

Kakashi asked casually, instinctively believing that Konohamaru couldn't possibly come up with a solution so quickly.

only...

He underestimated Konohamaru.

As the protagonist of the Shinobi World Child of Prophecy, Naruto has everyone's attention focused on him, and is considered to be the Naruto with the greatest unpredictability.

But Konohamaru is actually in no way inferior.

" Kakashi-sensei, you see, we don't have as much Chakra as Naruto, but my grandfather told me that the Shadow Clone Jutsu divides the Chakra evenly, so it doesn't actually consume that much Chakra."

Therefore, we can definitely do it in multiple sessions.

First, create several Shadow Clone Jutsu, then release them and create more Shadow Clone Jutsu.

This is much slower than Naruto's version, but definitely faster than normal.

Konohamaru earnestly explained the method he had come up with.

"Hmm--seems feasible."

Kakashi stroked his chin and thought for a moment, but couldn't sense anything wrong.

After regaining her senses, she looked at Konohamaru with a surprised expression.

As expected of the grandson of the ninja doctor Hiruzen Sarutobi, he certainly has a lot of ideas.

Moreover, this idea was based on the fundamental concept of Shadow Clone Jutsu.

The effect of Shadow Clone Jutsu is that the original Chakra is divided into equal parts based on the number of Shadow Clone Jutsu created.

Therefore, shadow Shadow Clone Jutsu cannot be seen through using only Dōjutsu.

Each Shadow Clone Jutsu has the same amount of Chakra.

Similarly, this also means that the amount of Chakra is directly related to the number of Shadow Clone Jutsu.

If a person's basic survival Chakra base is 5, then the Chakra base required for combat is 10.

A person with 100 Chakra can create 10 Shadow Clone Jutsu to fight.

However, if he tries to break through by creating 100 Shadow Clone Jutsu, he will fail.

If the separation is forcibly attempted, the original body's Chakra might drop below the minimum Chakra for survival, causing it to lose its ability to fight.

But if we do it in batches as Konohamaru suggested, then there won't be a problem.

Admittedly, there is some chakra consumption each time Shadow Clone Jutsu are used, but as long as there is no battle or Ninjutsu used, and it is simply maintained or some "minor movements", the Chakra consumption is extremely low.

By using this method of creating and dispelling clones, one can create a total of 100 Shadow Clone Jutsu from someone who originally had only 100 Chakra.

Even more.

These Shadow Clone Jutsu aren't meant for combat anyway.

... etc.

Something seems off.

Kakashi suddenly discovered a flaw in this method.

" Konohamaru, have you ever considered that Naruto doesn't have each Shadow Clone Jutsu enter Sage Mode and then transmit the information back to his main body? Instead, he only needs to enter Sage Mode for a short while before immediately deactivating it, relying on 'cumulative stacking'?"

If we switch to your method, then dispelling the clones is completely pointless. Why not let the first batch of Shadow Clone Jutsu continue? What's the point of creating a second batch of Shadow Clone Jutsu?

Kakashi's question completely stunned Konohamaru, who was still in a state of excitement.

"As expected, I'm still far behind Naruto."

Konohamaru collapsed to his knees with a thud.

"..."

Kakashi felt terrible watching this, but there was nothing he could do.

Right is right, and wrong is wrong.

If Konohamaru wants to stand on his own, he can't just listen to Ebisu's praise and flattery.

"Um?"

Kakashi glanced at Naruto, who was leisurely swimming with toads in the river in the distance, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.

When Kakashi looked at Naruto, he thought of the mission Tsunade had given Naruto: to go to all the major ninja villages and spread his shortcut throughout the Shinobi World.

Kakashi subconsciously thought of his teacher Minato Namikaze's former battlefield rival, the Fourth Raikage.

I wonder what the Fourth Raikage's expression would be if Naruto went to that burly, dark-skinned Raikage to promote Sage Mode, and what choice he would make.

Kakashi immediately came up with a solution as soon as he assumed the Fourth Raikage.

The Lightning Chakra Mode of the Kumogakure, or Lightning Release Armor, uses lightning to stimulate and activate muscles, thereby greatly enhancing one's strength, speed, and defense.

So, can this lightning activation technique be used in Sage Mode?

Kakashi is also a master of Lightning Release.

Kakashi imagined it in his mind and immediately shuddered.

Doesn't this feel like self-torture?

However, the method he has come up with can actually be combined with Konohamaru's previously denied and ineffective Shadow Clone Jutsu Technique.

After all, this time it was Lightning Release, which would indeed make the Shadow Clone Jutsu disappear.

It just means the consumption has increased a bit.

The Shadow Clone Jutsu also need to use Lightning Release with controlled power.

" Konohamaru, don't underestimate yourself. Your method is actually useful, it just needs to be combined with mine."

Kakashi stepped forward and patted Konohamaru on the shoulder, offering words of comfort.

"R-Really? Kakashi-sensei?"

"Real."

Kakashi, instead of playing the riddle-maker, directly stated his idea.

Konohamaru, not being Naruto, immediately grasped the synergy of the techniques and beamed with joy. "I knew it! Great! Let's begin!"

"Etc!"

Kakashi quickly grabbed Konohamaru's arm.

"Before we begin, we must establish the rules: under no circumstances should the main body be used."

Kakashi gave his serious instructions.

Although Konohamaru passionately declared that he would rather give up his future body to master Sage Mode, that's different from actually electrocuting himself.

The first option is only a possibility of problems; even if problems do occur, it will only result in a weakening of the attribute.

The latter, however, could very well disappear entirely if one is not careful.
