"Annual clone production here was around three hundred." Sarutobi Toru looked over his base and silently pondered.
Although he had five hundred incubation chambers, cultivating clones took at least a year. Thus, the annual output was only around 00.
Clone technology itself was not especially difficult, but making clones grow at an accelerated rate was truly hard.
The kind of cloning technology that could produce fully grown human-shaped clones in just weeks, or even days, was the real black technology.
Even with extraordinary powers like Chakra to assist, clones still required more than a year to mature.
"And an ordinary shinobi can absorb around a hundred Clone Chakra Fruits."
