Training Montage

As their fist collide pain travels throughout his arm. He can finally understand why more people don't use Shadow Clone Jutsu. Besides splitting your chakra between each clone, it also establishes a link. Through this link, pain is transmitted from one clone to all the others. The reason they disappear in one hit is to stop the pain and causing you to break the concentration on the jutsu altogether.

Regular shadow clone jutsu is still bearable, but the pain from one hundred different bodies would probably fry your mind, the fact Naruto can do it is crazy and makes almost no sense.

Right now our legs are too short, so throwing punches is the best we can do. We can't even do any quick dodges without tripping over our own feet. The fact that we are the same person makes this dull, it's like fighting a mirror. Even so, the experience bar is moving ever so slowly. When the jutsu is released all their experiences will return to me, so my levels should double what it is now.

Practicing other jutsu is basically pointless, I'm not twisted enough to cast Ninjutsu on myself, and it will damage the room. If it's like Skyrim and you gain levels by damage done to the opponent, if I cast a really big jutsu on a lot of people I should level pretty fast. Genjutsu also needs a target.

After an hour of practice, clone two was actually able to walk on the wall, so his current task is to regen chakra to make more clones.

After five hours the current clone count is up to five. It was six, but after clone three regained some chakra he released himself so clone one and myself could have more chakra, his sacrifice shall not be forgotten.

During the six-hour something big happened, we discovered a bug in the system.

Clone four looked at Zitsu before nodding his head "Ushi Tora, Mystical Palm" A green aura flashed on his hands momentarily before fading.

Seeing this Zitsu's eyes light up "Clone four continue to practice. Clone two and five restore some chakra to make clones six and seven. Clone four, when clone six and seven are made you must sacrifice yourself to spread your experience."

Clone four nods with a heavy heart.

"You will not be forgotten brother."x4

Clone four sits down and practices, trying to get the technique to remain and not fade away. Clow two and five begins gathering chakra in preparation for the split.

Looking down at his swollen and red hands he frowns slightly. Clone one and himself can't even make a proper fist anymore, so they moved to palm strikes, but now even their wrist is swollen.

Looking at clone one zitsu puts on a bitter smile. "For the team."

"For the team." Clone one smiles. No other words are needed because their thinking is the same. A clone may get lucky and find out how to do a jutsu before the others, but the base thoughts are still the same.

Clone one slowly lays down on the ground and bites his teeth.

Seeing this Zitsu walk forward and delivers a kick to his side. All the clones suffer, but none make a sound, because they know their brother is suffering more.

Pulling his leg back and forth he unloads a series of kicks into his side. Sometimes he gets carried away and delivers a few stomps as well, but feeling the pain quickly reminds him.

Kicking is a lot more tiresome than punching, and the stamina drain is massive so he has to take a few breaks.

After twenty minutes, clone four releases, giving what little chakra and his knowledge of Mystical Palm to everyone else. Clone six and seven were created, and all four began practicing on clone one.

All zitsu can do is watch because he can't perform and hand seals, and he won't know if he will get any experience until one of the clones releases.

After twenty minutes clone one looks slightly better, but still badly damaged. Suddenly clone two stands up.

"It's time for me to go brothers. I noticed I'm better at the technique than everyone else, and I assume it's from my experience with wall walking." Clone two slowly closes his eyes.

Everyone looks at him, their mouth slightly opening and closing.

"No need for long goodbyes" he forms the seal of confrontation "KAI!" And vanishes in a puff of smoke.

As clone two's chakra and experiences are shared everyone nods their heads.

Zitsu closes his eyes and notices the Ninjutsu bar has filled by ⅙ and has already overtaken Taijutsu.

Clone five, six, and seven continue the healing to clone one with there new experiences.

Seeing this Zitsu nods his head. Sitting down he struggles to form a seal of confrontation and begins to recover his chakra and stamina.

Twenty minutes later clone five releases, leaving only clone six and seven.

Fifteen minutes later clone seven releases.

Twenty-two minutes later clone six releases.

Looking at his half filed Ninjutsu bar he smiles bitterly, while the gains were great, the sacrifices were hard. Opening his eyes he sees clone one standing in front of him, fully healed. Standing up he holds out his hands.

Clone one makes the seals and his hands glow green. Holding Zitsu's hands in his own, he begins to heal them. The process takes a little over a minute, but It's finally done.

Looking down at his fully recovered hands he smiles.

Clone one and Zitsu nod at each other, and one disappears in a cloud of smoke.

Closing his eyes he looks at his stats

[Health 100] [Chakra 20/138] [Stamina 38/102]

His Taijutsu is ⅕ filled and his Ninjutsu is ⅚ filled.

Taking a deep breath he sits down and begins to recover.

To fully recover it takes two in a half hours. When he's fully recovered he rises to his feet and crosses his fingers. "Shadow Clone Jutsu"

[Chakra 20/138]

His chakra divides and six puffs of smoke appear around him.

"No need to waste time, we know what to do." Zitsu looks at his clones.

Everyone in the room nods and surrounds a single clone. Suddenly six little fists fly and hit the clone causing it to keel over in pain. All seven people bite their teeth as they continue their beating.

After beating a clone for twenty minutes they stop to recover chakra. After thirty minutes of recovery, zitsu stands above the beaten clone.

"Mystical Palm" performing the hand signs for the jutsu for the first time feels strange yet familiar to him. Dropping down he begins to heal the clone while the other five continue to recover chakra.

After a minute of healing a bar appears in his vision showing Ninjutsu leveled from 0 to 1. His overall level filled by half.

"Ok boys we are in business!" Zitsu becomes excited about finally making progress.

All six of them surround the clone and continue beating.

They repeated this process day and night.

On the second day, he leveled Taijutsu to level 1, bringing his total level up to 2. As he leveled up he got 10 points to add to his health, chakra, or stamina but he decided to hold off for now. He also got his first perk point and he debated on where to add it with his clones.

[Reduce stamina consumption by 5%]

With this, they would be able to train longer and level Taijutsu faster, but some argued the Ninjutsu perk was better.

[Reduce Ninjutsu cost by 2%]

Their argent is we wouldn't have to waist so much time to regen chakra for Mystical Palm. 2% may not seem like a lot but over a week it will all up, and they run out of chakra faster than stamina. After five minutes of debate, he put the perk into Ninjutsu bringing it to ⅕ for the first perk.

After Ninjutsu levels up to one, it became harder to level. It's been almost a day and it's only ¼ filled. After talking it out we figured it was because the injuries weren't severe enough, but no point in hurting ourselves, slow and steady. Plus that's only experience from Zitsu, when the other clones release we should see a massive boost.

On the fifth day, Ninjutsu actually managed to level up to 2, but the overall level only filled up by ⅓ this time. Taijutsu is around 50% so it won't take much longer.

At the end of the sixth day, all seven people were looking at each other.

"It's the moment of truth guys, it's time to collect on our efforts."

One of the clones raises his hand.

"Yes clone five?" Zitsu looks over.

"Wouldn't our training go faster if the clones were to periodically release to share experience so we can get more levels and perks? Training with the same six of us seemed like a waste."

The six other people's eyes go wide as they look at clone five.

"You're the only one of us who had this idea,why wait till we are done to speak up?!?"

Clone five shrugs.

Seeing this Zitsu crosses his finger "KAI!"
