Learning Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, Planet Vegeta's Saiyan Legion!

Konoha Village, Eighth Training Ground.

Ato still engaged in his sweaty one-armed push-up workout.

Beside him, Might Duy and his son had long since collapsed onto the ground in exhaustion.

Ato was equally exhausted long ago, yet still gritted his teeth and persisted.

"5786...5787...5788!"

From sunrise to sunset, until the current starry night with a sparse moon.

Ato had already trained for a full 18 hours.

The high-intensity workout under 25-fold gravity was too much for even a Saiyan body to bear.

Yet Ato still did not rest.

Only by continuously squeezing one's potential could one break through bodily limits and thus transform their life stage.

"Ato-san, when it comes to training, I, Might Guy, am willing to call you the strongest!"

Behind Ato, Might Guy barely managed to open his eyes, gave Ato a thumbs-up, and praised him from the bottom of his heart.

Might Guy had always thought of himself as a genius of hard work.

Yet until training alongside Ato, Might Guy finally learned what demonic training was, and what a genius of hard work truly meant!

As long as you don't train yourself to death, train yourself to death!!

Ato's hard work made Might Guy feel ashamed of his own inferiority.

"This is youth!! Guy!" Might Duy was equally exhausted, but after resting for a moment, he gritted his teeth, stood up, and resumed his training.

Might Duy's perseverance was far stronger than that of Might Guy, who was still a youth.

"If you still have strength, stand up. Even a genius like Ato-kun is training this hard; how could mediocre people like us possibly rest?"

Might Duy said to Might Guy in a serious and earnest tone.

Encouraged by Might Duy, Might Guy also wobbled to his feet.

Then the three of them resumed their crazy training.

After persisting with the training for another 2 hours, Ato finally lay down on the ground, panting heavily.

Thud, thud.

After Ato lay down, Might Duy and his son, who had long since lost consciousness, also toppled stiffly to the ground.

"Android 18, heal these two." Ato took a few deep breaths, then said tiredly.

Whoosh, whoosh.

At Ato's command, two miniature healing robots suddenly appeared on his Scouter.

These two miniature healing robots came before Might Duy and his son, first scanning the condition of the two.

Upon confirming that the two of them were merely suffering from excessive fatigue, the two miniature robots promptly injected a tube of green healing liquid into each of their necks.

This was a healing liquid unique to Planet Vegeta.

Though its effect was not as good as a Senzu Bean, it was still enough to recover the physical fatigue of Might Duy and his son.

Having finished all this, Ato returned directly to Minato Namikaze's home, then dropped onto the bed and fell asleep.

When Ato opened his eyes again, it was early morning.

Stretching lazily, Ato leaped to his feet.

Ato's resilience as a Saiyan was astonishing; though he had been exhausted yesterday, just three hours of sleep left him full of vigor once more.

Jumping down from the bed, Ato frowned slightly as he looked at his own body.

Yesterday's training had left him drenched in sweat.

Right now, his sticky body felt extremely uncomfortable.

He decided to take a bath first, and then go grab something to eat.

Pushing open the door of the guest bedroom, Ato looked at Kushina, who was reading sealing jutsu scrolls in the living room.

"Ato-kun, you're awake."

Seeing Ato walk out of the room, Kushina smiled and nodded at him.

Ato ignored Kushina, instead fixing his gaze on the sealing scroll.

Only at this moment did Ato remember that there was still an extremely suitable ninjutsu he had yet to learn.

"Hey, Kushina, you know the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, right."

Ato crossed his arms and said coldly.

"Yes, Ato-kun." Kushina nodded instinctively, then suddenly thought of something.

"Ato-kun, you're not planning to learn this ninjutsu, are you?"

Kushina furrowed her brow tightly.

The reason the Multiple Shadow Clone was called a forbidden jutsu.

Aside from the massive chakra required for its release.

It was also because the memories generated by the vast number of shadow clones would all flood into the main body's mind at the exact moment they were dispelled.

If anything went wrong, the main body's brain would overload and collapse from the sheer volume of memories—turning into an idiot at best, or dying on the spot at worst.

"Get me to learn this jutsu as soon as possible." Ato nodded, then spoke in an unquestionable tone.

Looking into Ato's earnest eyes, Kushina hesitated for a moment, but ultimately agreed.

In truth, Kushina had no right of refusal whatsoever.

Ten minutes later, under Kushina's guidance, Ato learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Having mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone, Ato directly formed the Konfrontation Seal.

A ninja's hand signs merely assisted chakra in flowing in specific paths within the body.

Yet a Saiyan's talent allowed Ato to control the chakra flow within his body at will, without needing hand signs at all.

Thus, Ato could entirely just clap his hands together and shout whatever he wanted.

However, he felt that the hand-clapping motion wasn't cool enough, so he changed it to directly forming the Konfrontation Seal instead.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Poof, poof, poof!

As Ato released the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, dozens of puffs of white smoke burst out inside the living room.

From within the white smoke, shadow clones of Ato, each wearing matching Saiyan combat armor and sporting a Scouter on their head, stepped out.

Ato looked at his dozens of shadow clones with satisfaction.

Especially upon seeing that the shadow clones actually possessed matching Saiyan combat armor and Scouters, Ato felt it was all the more magical.

He walked up to one of the shadow clones and casually removed its Scouter.

Beep, beep, beep.

Tapping lightly on the Scouter, the device immediately displayed rows of power level readings.

"It actually has the exact same functions as my Scouter." Ato fiddled with the Scouter in his hand and said with some pleasant surprise.

The Scouters on these shadow clones were not just for show; their functions were identical to his own.

The only difference was that within the shadow clones' Scouters, Android 18 did not exist.

And...

Ato applied a little force, and the Scouter in his hand instantly turned into a puff of white smoke.

Simultaneously, the shadow clone whose Scouter had been damaged vanished in a puff of smoke.

"As I thought."

Ato touched his chin, feeling the memories within his mind.

Through the memories of the shadow clone, Ato could sense that these combat outfits and Scouters were inherently a part of the shadow clones themselves.

Any external force of a certain magnitude would cause the shadow clones to fail.

"The ninjutsu of the ninja world is quite magical too!"

Ato sighed in admiration, then turned his gaze toward his shadow clones.

"Saiyans, assemble!"

Ato issued an order to his shadow clones.

Swish.

Before Ato, dozens of shadow clones floated up in unison, arranging themselves in a row.

Ato's Scouter swept across the shadow clones.

Shadow clone's power level:

300!

Yes, the power level of every single shadow clone was 300!

Ato's eyes flashed with a profound gleam.

Having mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone, he himself was a Saiyan legion.

Saiyans with power levels like this—Ato could have as many as he wanted.

Ato was exceptionally excited, and then he dispelled the majority of his shadow clones, leaving only 2 behind.

"Kushina, teach them the Uzumaki Clan's sealing jutsu and sensory jutsu."

Ato gave an order to Kushina.

Kushina looked at the cold, arm-crossed Ato shadow clone before her, who looked utterly arrogant, and felt the pressure.

As for Ato, after instructing Kushina to teach his two shadow clones, he left Minato Namikaze's home.

He still needed to find a hot spring to take a proper bath, and incidentally check out Konoha's local delicacies.

As for learning ninjutsu? He could just leave all of that to his shadow clones.
