On a stretch of open ground near Takigakure, Houka's handsome Shadow Clones stood in orderly rows, training diligently.

Not far away, another row of Shadow Clones was practicing the Light-Weight Rock Technique, creating a spectacular scene.

As for the Ultra-Weighted Rock Technique and Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique, he would have to wait until Houka mastered those two ninjutsu before learning them.

Though these techniques were difficult to master, Houka had plenty of Shadow Clones. One day of his training was equivalent to three months—or even longer—of training for others.

Thus, in only about half a month, Houka successfully mastered the Weighted Rock Technique and the Light-Weight Rock Technique.

After testing them, Houka found that the Weighted Rock Technique could increase his weight by roughly threefold, while the Light-Weight Rock Technique could reduce it by threefold. Such a multiplier was completely useless to ordinary people. What use was there in tripling the weight of someone who only weighed a hundred or so pounds? And reducing their weight by threefold still would not let them float like Ōnoki.

But if it was applied to the weight of Susanoo's massive Bronze Hammer, it would be utterly terrifying.
