NASM: Chapter 48

"These buns are delicious!" Uzumaki Hiroshi exclaimed happily after eating two.

He brushed off the dirt from his clothes, sat down, and leaned against a large rock, admiring the scenery.

"It's so beautiful! I never noticed how pretty this place is. I should practice the Shadow Clone Jutsu now," he said, chuckling as he recalled his past attempts.

When he was weaker, his Shadow Clones were always weak and lifeless, collapsing like mud.

"Thinking back to my first attempts... it was so funny. I created a weak, lifeless clone that collapsed on the floor. So embarrassing," he murmured, smiling.

"But this time, when school starts, it'll be different. I'll show them my Shadow Clone Jutsu and my strength. I'll make them regret ever looking down on me," he said, standing up and walking to a tree.

The Shadow Clone Jutsu is a fundamental technique for every ninja, incredibly useful in both one-on-one and multiple-opponent battles.

He calmed himself, performed the hand seals, and created a shadow clone about his size. But this clone was different.

"No way! It has energy, but it's way too fat! No good. I need to try again!" The clone dissipated into white smoke.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

"Poof!"

White smoke appeared, and a clone emerged, identical to Hiroshi, but listless and dejected.

"This one's better; the size is right, but the energy is completely off," Hiroshi said, waving his hand dismissively. The clone vanished.

"This jutsu isn't as easy as I thought. I need more practice. If I fail again at school, it'll be humiliating. I can't let that happen!" He resolved to practice more.

Time passed. Two hours later, he finally created a perfect shadow clone.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

White smoke appeared, and a perfect clone materialized.

"Haha! I finally did it! Amazing!" Hiroshi exclaimed joyfully.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on mastering the Shadow Clone Jutsu. Reward: 500 gold coins."

Hiroshi smiled, gazing at the scenery, the wind ruffling his hair.
