Shadow Clone

After a period of grueling practice, Uchiha Xin finally mastered the Shadow Clone Technique and could make his clones last an entire day. However, this achievement did not come without a cost. Each time he used a shadow clone, it consumed nearly half his chakra. Even so, Uchiha Xin decided to make clever use of this ability.

He began sending shadow clones to class, allowing him to train in taijutsu personally without missing any school lessons. Whenever class was in session, he would create a clone to sit in the classroom and listen attentively, while his real body hid away and continued its taijutsu training.

Uchiha Xin was very satisfied with this arrangement. He could steadily improve his strength while maintaining his thirst for knowledge. Moreover, with the shadow clone present, he could stay informed of the teacher's explanations and his classmates' discussions at any time, missing no important information.

However, this approach was not without risks. After all, his chakra was limited. If he overused the Shadow Clone Technique, he could easily exhaust his chakra, affecting both his training and combat. Therefore, Uchiha Xin had to carefully control his chakra consumption at all times, ensuring that he could display his greatest strength when it mattered most.

Even so, Uchiha Xin remained firm on his chosen path. He believed that as long as he kept working hard and challenging his limits, he would surely become the strongest existence in the Naruto World. And his Shadow Clone Technique would become an important weapon in achieving that goal.

That was because he had found an excellent way to balance training and schoolwork—using shadow clones to attend class.

Many of his classmates knew nothing about it. They only saw that Uchiha Xin always seemed relaxed and at ease, able to complete his heavy academic workload while maintaining outstanding training progress. The teachers, however, noticed something unusual. Whenever class was in session, they found that Uchiha Xin's eyes always held a calmness and depth unlike that of ordinary students, as though his mind was not entirely in the classroom.

After observing him for some time, the teachers finally uncovered Uchiha Xin's secret—his shadow clones. They saw that, in the corners of the classroom or outside the door, a figure nearly identical to Uchiha Xin would occasionally appear. Yet that figure's eyes were hollow and vacant, clearly marking it as a shadow clone.

However, the teachers did not expose his secret. They knew Uchiha Xin was an exceptionally gifted student, with strength and potential far beyond ordinary people. His use of the Shadow Clone Technique to balance training and schoolwork was the result of his intelligence and hard work. The teachers also understood that stopping him from using this method was impossible, because it was his own choice and decision.

Thus, the teachers tacitly accepted Uchiha Xin's approach. They simply taught him with even greater care in class, hoping he could achieve better results in both his studies and training. Uchiha Xin was grateful for their understanding and support, and he trained and studied even harder, constantly improving his strength and abilities.

In the secret base, he devoted himself completely to taijutsu practice. He threw punch after punch and kicked again and again, striving to make every movement perfect. Sweat slid down his forehead and dripped onto the ground, forming tiny puddles. But he paid it no mind, because he knew that only through relentless effort could he become stronger.

The existence of shadow clones not only allowed Uchiha Xin to balance his studies and training, but also gave him more possibilities during practice. By observing his shadow clones' movements and performance, he could identify his shortcomings in taijutsu and the areas that needed improvement. This process of self-feedback and correction rapidly raised his taijutsu level.

As time passed, Uchiha Xin's taijutsu grew increasingly refined. He could easily perform difficult movements and even unleash astonishing power in battle. Both his speed and strength reached new heights.

However, Uchiha Xin was not satisfied with this. He knew that taijutsu training had no end. Only by constantly challenging and surpassing himself could he become a true powerhouse. Therefore, he continued to maintain his passion and dedication to taijutsu, relentlessly pursuing a higher realm.
