Legendary Iron Black Zetsu

Naruto knew he was no match for the Sage of Six Paths. The old man had toyed with him so casually just now; they were not on the same level at all.

If he attacked normally, let alone inflicting any real damage on the Sage of Six Paths, he probably would not even be able to touch the hem of Six Paths's robes.

So Naruto used the dumbest, yet most effective, method.

He created solid Shadow Clones and filled the entire mental space.

With no room left to dodge, he would not have to worry about missing.

Of course, with the Sage of Six Paths's strength, he could completely shatter a batch of Shadow Clones in an instant and clear space for evasion.

But Naruto was determined to attack, whereas the Sage of Six Paths was not. He still thought this was just an ordinary sparring match.

Faced with Naruto's clever move of using Shadow Clones to compress his opponent's dodging space, the Sage of Six Paths was intrigued and watched the follow-up with great interest.

The Sage of Six Paths merely swung his staff, casually smashing a batch of Shadow Clones.

When he discovered that the destroyed area was immediately replenished by more Shadow Clones, he acknowledged Naruto's idea.

And here, Naruto made use of another trait of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique—space-time.

That was right.

No one had realized that the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was, in fact, also a Space-Time Ninjutsu.

As the number one ninja at creating surprises, Naruto had noticed it.

Because Naruto had discovered that his Shadow Clones were terrified of shit. And since they were afraid of shit, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique had to be a Space-Time Ninjutsu countered by shit!

—Naruto's reasoning was on par with throwing steaming glutinous rice at
