Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu

Questions you can't figure out, just don't think about them; you'll forget them soon enough.

Using ninjutsu requires chakra, and after that night's fever, Su Ye's body gained a new power, somewhat similar to a martial artist's ki, but still distinct.

This power was chakra.

The large amount of chakra in Su Ye's body was related to the seal on his navel. During the fever, it seemed that half of a tailed beast, like Kurama, was sealed inside, similar to Naruto.

A tailed beast is a physical manifestation of massive chakra, so it's understandable that Su Ye had an immense amount.

Su Ye previously wondered: if he gained abilities from different power systems like ki, chakra, magic, or cosmos, would his body explode due to incompatibility?

As it turns out, this worry was unnecessary.

The system could hand out so many girlfriends and turn Old Su's parents into billionaires and Kage-level ninjas; how could it fail at such a minor thing?

Don't ask why—the system modified Su Ye's constitution, enabling him to seamlessly integrate any energy system.

So domineering.

With a vast amount of chakra and either a system-enhanced or inherited extraordinary aptitude, Su Ye excelled at learning ninjutsu.

He quickly mastered the E-rank Replacement Jutsu without much delay.

Similarly, he swiftly learned the E-rank Transformation Jutsu.

The Transformation Jutsu, despite being low-rank, was highly versatile, allowing him to transform into other people, animals, plants, or even weapons!

It's practically a superpower akin to Sun Wukong's 72 Transformations.

And this is just an E-rank entry-level skill? Does that mean ninjas start off with 72 transformations plus teleportation?

While learning the Transformation Jutsu, Su Ye suddenly recalled a post he had seen on a forum before.

"If you learned the 'Transformation Jutsu,' what would you use it for?"

The top-liked reply seemed to be, "Transform into a goddess and give your roommate a good time!"

At the time, Su Ye had also liked the post and showed it to his dorm buddies, saying, "Look at this guy's perspective. Why aren't you learning Shadow Clone Jutsu already?"

Unfortunately, in his previous world, there was no Transformation Jutsu, and in this world, he was the one who learned it, not his roommates…

Aside from the two E-rank jutsus, there was the Rasengan, which involved multiple steps like forming and molding the energy ball. Su Ye tried it, realized it required practice to master, and decided to put it aside for now.

The final one, "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu," was what Su Ye was most interested in at the moment.

Not just Su Ye—who wouldn't want a skill like Shadow Clone Jutsu? Whether a scumbag... ahem, or a man juggling work, studies, family, filial piety, and raising kids, everyone would want it.

Although Su Ye didn't face much life or societal pressure now, it was always good to be prepared.

Exactly!

The Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu was an A-rank ninjutsu, consuming massive amounts of chakra to create numerous clones at once.

The difficulty lay in most ninjas lacking enough chakra to sustain so many clones. But for Su Ye, with Kurama's chakra, any chakra-related problem was no problem at all.

Half an hour later, Su Ye drove to a suburban forest to test the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu for the first time. He wasn't sure if he could control the number—what if he created thousands of clones and blocked the nearby road?

If clones suddenly appeared in someone's house, interrupting their private activities, it would be inappropriate whether he joined or just watched.

In the forest, Su Ye circled around to make sure no one else was around before stopping in a clearing.

The hand seals of ninjas are named after the twelve Earthly Branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, and so on, with each representing a specific hand gesture.

Standing in the middle, Su Ye quickly performed the hand seals and shouted loudly.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Bang!

Puffs of smoke erupted around him, and in an instant, an endless crowd of Su Ye clones filled the small forest. By estimation, there were no fewer than a thousand.

The exact number was three thousand. At that moment, the three thousand Su Ye clones looked at each other with eyes full of curiosity and amazement.

"I've turned into three thousand versions of myself. Doesn't that mean I could date three thousand girlfriends at once?"

"I used to hear people brag about 'taking on ten opponents,' and it sounded impressive. But compared to me now, they're all weaklings!"

"A harem of three thousand beauties was an exaggeration in ancient times. But for me, it could become a reality!"

"But right now, I only have two official girlfriends, two in reserve, and one childhood fiancée... ahem. I'm still far from three thousand. Should I activate the white and gray cards for a multi-partner experience..."

"Damn it! How did I get such vulgar thoughts? Look at this vile system, corrupting me like this!"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The sounds kept echoing as the number of Su Ye clones in the forest rapidly dwindled. Soon, only the original and three clones remained, representing Spider-Man, Batman, and the Martial Saint.

The Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu has a drawback: chakra is equally divided among the clones. If there are too many clones, each has too little chakra, making them fragile and easy to dispel with a single strong attack.

To mitigate this flaw, either avoid getting hit or reduce the number of clones so that each clone has more chakra and becomes more durable.

Being tough and resilient naturally means they can fight... and take a beating...

Paired with the Transformation Jutsu, the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu allows Su Ye to assume multiple identities simultaneously—an absolute tool for committing crimes and causing chaos.

Though the intended use might be different, its effectiveness remains the same.

Soon, Su Ye left the forest, each clone with its own task.

The Batman clone went to the Batcave to learn from Dr. Fox and develop new gear. The Spider-Man clone, having no immediate tasks, found a quiet place to practice Rasengan. The Martial Saint clone donned another handsome face and headed to school to pick up Hinata and Neji for dinner.

These clones were temporarily named; their identities could change at any time.

As for the original, he received a call from Sharon Carter and hurried to the Shiranui Dojo.

At the Shiranui Dojo, several uninvited guests had arrived and gotten into a fight with the agents led by Phil Coulson.

Although there were only four of them, they were all physically strong enough to block bullets. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were knocked down en masse in the first encounter.

Phil Coulson had someone call for reinforcements, and Sharon Carter immediately thought of Su Ye.

It couldn't be helped—Su Ye's performance during the battle against Abomination had been too impressive. In Sharon Carter's heart, his status had even surpassed that of her aunt's lifelong idol, Captain America, becoming her most trusted and ideal superhero.

Far more reliable than any S.H.I.E.L.D. reinforcements.

What could S.H.I.E.L.D. agents do? End up like the ones here, getting beaten to a pulp?

When Su Ye arrived at the Shiranui Dojo, the entire place had already been overrun. The four intruders had broken in, taken the S.H.I.E.L.D.-detained prisoner hostage, and were now in a standoff with the arriving agents.

"Su Ye, you're finally here!"

Seeing Su Ye, not only Sharon Carter but even Phil Coulson breathed a sigh of relief.

The unreliable S.H.I.E.L.D. consultant, who stayed in Los Angeles and wouldn't come to New York unless necessary, had just returned from dealing with Abomination. Converting him into a combat asset would still take some time.

On Coulson's side, the only capable agents available were Hawkeye and Black Widow.

The problem was that neither of them specialized in frontal assault, and their abilities were relatively average. Relying on them to win here was clearly impossible.

"Who's causing trouble inside?" Su Ye asked, though he already had a guess.

Upon seeing Su Ye, Sharon Carter naturally followed him like a sidekick. She signaled a nearby agent, who immediately pulled out a tablet displaying surveillance footage of the earlier fight.

"A Princess, a Viking, Robin Hood, and... Jackie Chan!"

Su Ye turned to the agent, "Do you really think that last person looks like Jackie Chan?"

"I was just joking..." the agent replied sheepishly.

Su Ye snorted, "At a time like this, when S.H.I.E.L.D. is getting beaten like a child, you still have the mood to joke?"

The agent's smile froze, and then Su Ye continued.

"Lacking ambition and focus—thankfully, you're not part of our Red Shield Division. Otherwise, I'd fire you!"

What's the Red Shield Division?

The surrounding agents were instantly baffled. They'd previously heard Coulson mention the Red Shield Division in passing, and now hearing Su Ye confirm it—was this real?

When did S.H.I.E.L.D. have this division? What were the benefits like, and could they transfer there...

The seeds of revolution had been planted. Who knows when they might take root?

Inside the Shiranui Dojo, Su Ye saw the four troublemakers. They didn't hide or evade; they were boldly standing in the courtyard, gathered around Thor's hammer.

In the center, alongside the hammer, stood a man with a foolish grin.

"Thor, pick up the hammer! Asgard is waiting for you to save it!"

"If you don't go back soon, Loki will become the king of Asgard. Are you really okay with him deceiving you and taking everything that's rightfully yours?"

"Asgard needs you, and we need you!"

The group cheered Thor on, but he looked like he had seen through the world's illusions.

"Guys, if Loki wants the throne, let him have it. Having you all is enough for me, right?"
