Сhapter 51

The weekend organized for us by Natsubashi-sensei flew by like a flash. I was so carried away by the mastered technique and my own training that the moment of a new meeting with sensei came too quickly for me. To be honest, I wouldn't mind not seeing him at all anymore.… But alas, not everything happens the way we want it to. In addition, the newly started training with anbushnik somewhat humbled me with the need to tolerate the presence of sensei. In addition, I did not hide from him my successes in the technique of shadow cloning…

A little shocking to a man, to be honest. He definitely did not expect that I would immediately create twenty clones in front of him, after dispelling which he would not even begin to shake me from fatigue… Yes, I surprised Sensei significantly, for which, as a result, I received a rather harsh reprimand. Although Sensei would have scolded me anyway, I still disobeyed his request-the order to master the technique under his supervision…

However, I didn't care much about the words of my own teacher today. No, with my mind I still understood the logic of his words, and I deserved a reprimand in my direction, but ... I don't care. Recently, I wanted to do almost everything in spite of our teacher, and even though I tried to keep such impulses within the bounds of decency, I could no longer perceive Sensei's swearing in my direction adequately. His words became an empty sound for me, which, although I tried not to show, I simply could not be sincerely offended by the reprimand…

Fortunately, Sensei did not bend his line for too long and convey the necessary thoughts to me. So, he scolded me a little for my carelessness, and began to check my new capabilities in using technology… That is, he banally arranged a sparring between us, advising me to use my own clones to attack and attack. Which, in fact, I did, forcing Sensei to become much more serious at once.

Still, it was not so easy to fight against a crowd of clones, especially since I myself was far from the weakest genin… And I never complained about my wit, which I told sensei about, after the man himself earned a slight concussion due to a clone that suddenly exploded. I did not regret the explosion of seals, especially since I have recently been able to make them myself, even if I have to buy special paper and ink for their creations. In general, yes, Sensei devoted almost the whole day to my person, sending Akita to train under the supervision of a sensei clone.

Because of what she was somewhat furious and offended, including at me, but it did not become a tragedy… Inuzuka calmed down quickly enough, and sensei fully appreciated my abilities, having received quite a lot of headaches due to my further training... For I wisely did not hide from him my opportunity to train in ninjutsu, genjutsu and partly in taijutsu with the help of clones ... which is why Sensei was particularly surprised that day.

Still, the man himself, even though he was used to throwing off many cases and assignments on his clones, but, as he himself admitted to me, even a few among the Junins were capable of this. And he drew such a beautiful me that he can safely use dozens of clones at once, including for training, without suffering from chakra exhaustion and just not falling down from fatigue after an hour of such training ... Yes, after such news Sensei really looked at me as some kind of monster, but by drawing up a new training program for me, he promised to take care of it.

And from that day on, we began to disappear a little less often on missions, while working a little more. With a couple of my clones as assistants, Akita and I managed to cope with two or three D-rank missions in just a few hours. Even the absence of a third partner did not bother us, even if I did not try to overdo it with the number of clones… I've already had a very, very hard time these days. It was really hard to create two or three, and sometimes four, hundreds of clones every day… For the first time, I began to miss the chakra, and my head was literally swollen from the memory received from the clones.

Because of which, in a short time, I slightly reduced my enthusiasm, creating no more than two hundred clones a day for my training. Which was still just an exorbitant amount, allowing me to devote really a lot of time to training in genjutsu, ninjutsu, partly in taijutsu and in chakra control. In just a couple of days, I was able to bring the possession of a couple of natural jutsu known to me to a whole new level. And my chakra control has gone up the hill, just like my genjutsu skills…

Yes, I didn't hesitate to ask Aikawa-sensei for help, having received quite a lot of scrolls with genjutsu techniques and just quite a lot of manuals on this topic. Yes, and Natsubashi-sensei was not at all against allocating one of his clones for my training in genjutsu ... Then, however, I had to work out all the acquired knowledge and primas in my native body. But it's already a matter of a couple of hours of practice and getting used to new techniques. With the techniques of ninjutsu, the situation was even more complicated, yet the transformation of the natural chakra in the body and in the clone, which itself consists of a chakra, is not exactly the same…

Well, it's not the point, the main thing is that in just one week after studying the shadow cloning technique, I managed to do so much that I wouldn't have done in a month before. However, it was really hard to withstand such a regime… Fatigue from the clones did not affect my well-being in the best way, especially since I myself did not rest, having sent the clones to train. No, I myself was doing taijutsu with Sensei and purely physical training alone…

In light of which, at the end of the day I had no strength left from the word at all ... my body, chakra, and mind were exhausted for a whole day of training like never before. At the end of the day, I literally could not find the strength to walk home normally, which is why sometimes my own clones brought me home… By the way, I dumped all the household chores on them, and even they cooked food and brought it right to the place of my training.

Freezing mode, to some extent even driving me crazy. Still, to process and assimilate the memory of hundreds of clones, which, moreover, also dissipate, sometimes quite unexpectedly… Yes, it was hard. My head was literally swollen from the incoming information, and I myself sometimes began to get lost in my own memories. But my skills were growing by leaps and bounds, and in general, I was getting stronger by leaps and bounds…

Literally by the hour! After all, for an hour of training, conditional fifty clones, and at the same time I did not create any more, two hundred clones is the limit for the whole day, taking into account the replacement of the comrades who were equal, left behind the memory of more than two days of continuous training… The wildest load on the mind, but the benefits of such practices were no less wild. I improved my skills so much in a couple of weeks that now, in sparring with sensei one-on-one, I managed to really often hurt and catch him with the help of clones…

Of course, Sensei himself still restrained his own speed and strength, but he began to throw his techniques only on the way. And in taijutsu, he sometimes did things that no normal chunin ever dreamed of… Which already said a lot. At least now I had no doubts about my ability to defeat almost any Chunin in battle… What inspired me to continue training at the same pace… But no.

I just couldn't continue this marathon for too long. I started to burn out mentally, just not coping with the load on my mind, which was aggravated by constant physical fatigue and chakra exhaustion that often visited me… The chosen mode was simply excessive for my psyche. After all, even though I was used to devoting almost all my time to training, but I still could not adapt to the intensity of my new workouts, which is why after two weeks of a training marathon I decided to give myself a break…

I needed some time to recover. And even if I wasn't going to completely give up training, and I didn't have the opportunity, but I wasn't going to drive myself into creating hundreds of clones a day anymore… Instead, I focused on the calm and systematic development of my body, which very soon risked simply not keeping up with my skills. Well, I took up training in Fuin much more seriously, rejoicing in the whole of the sharply increased control…

Yes, the benefits of shadow cloning techniques were simply invaluable… But I greatly overestimated myself in this regard, at the same time fully realizing why the original Naruto did not use his clones for training on a regular basis. It's too much stress for the mind…

But I'm still not going to stop. I will rest a little, gather my strength and return to the chosen mode again ... give me a week of peace of mind. Well, to collect the eyes in a heap and stop getting confused in your own memory. And yes, I'm talking to you, Natsubashi-sensei!...
