From the night of genocide to the strongest

Inside the Uchiha training ground.

"Huh? It's so simple?"

Naruto and the shadow clones around him looked at each other, and then laughed in unison.

"I am indeed a genius, hahahaha!"

When Sasuke said before that he would teach him the shadow clone technique, Naruto was a little discouraged.

After all, the shadow clone jutsu is a B-level ninjutsu, and he himself used even the E-level basic clone jutsu in school horribly.

But what he didn't expect was that the shadow clone technique was simpler than the basic clone technique. After accepting Sasuke's instruction for less than half an hour, he had already mastered the shadow clone technique skillfully.

Naruto was happy for a while, and then he and the shadow clones around him fixed their gazes on Sasuke, who still looked calm. To his surprise, Sasuke did not say anything to attack him this time, but nodded slightly and said calmly:

"It seems that you still have some talents. You are not as bad as I thought. This is beyond my expectation."

Sasuke glanced calmly at the shadow clones around him.

Ten!

The Shadow Clone Technique can only create ten physical clones at most, and Naruto reached the limit of the Shadow Clone Technique the first time he used it.

You must know that Sasuke has been practicing for more than three months. Although he can now separate ten physical clones, considering the mental and physical aspects, the ten physical clones are a bit heavy for him, so he often only

Divide about five of them to assist in practice.

And Naruto used ten shadow clones at once, and he still looked energetic and full of energy.

However, he can also understand that for Naruto, ten shadow clones are really child's play. In the original book, he learned the enhanced version of the shadow clone technique - multiple shadow clones.

The first time it was used, a thousand of them were separated, and Mizuki, who was a chuunin teacher at the time, was beaten to the point of paralysis.

According to the official formula book, Naruto's limit is - five thousand!

Sasuke sighed inwardly, sometimes comparing people to others can really make people angry.

"Hey!" Naruto scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. This was the first time he heard Sasuke praise him. Although it was not obvious, he was still very happy.

"Um, Sasuke..." Naruto was happy for a while and asked him seriously: "Why do you want to teach me this ninjutsu?"

Naruto's tone was a little nervous and uneasy. For him who was lonely, what he wanted most was to be recognized by everyone, and among his peers, what he longed for most was Sasuke's recognition!

Looking at Naruto's clear and nervous eyes, Sasuke was silent for a while and did not answer his question directly. Instead, he said: "The Shadow Clone Jutsu is a B-level ninjutsu developed by the second generation Hokage. It uses chakra.

Create physical clones, which can act and fight like the caster, have consciousness independent of the caster's body and have certain resistance to strikes, and are usually used for reconnaissance, espionage and cooperation in combat."

"But recently I discovered another function of it, which is to assist in cultivation!"

"Assist in training?" Naruto scratched his head, confused.

"Yes!" Sasuke nodded slightly and continued calmly: "After the physical clone is released, the memory and experience will return to the original body, which to a certain extent is equivalent to speeding up practice."

"Why!?"

Naruto was stunned at first, and then he seemed to suddenly realize it. His eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Then my future practice is equivalent to speeding up ten times?"

Thinking of Sasuke's words before, Naruto also understood Sasuke's intention of teaching him the shadow clone technique.

"You can say that to a certain extent." Sasuke nodded: "However, don't be too happy too early. In addition to experience and memory, there are also physical fatigue and mental burdens that have returned."

Seeing Naruto nodding in understanding, Sasuke continued: "As I said before, if you want to catch up with me, you have to work ten times a hundred times!"

Hearing this, Naruto was not unhappy, but rather pleased and asked quickly: "Sasuke, do you regard me as your opponent?"

"No, you are far from qualified to be my opponent now, Naruto!" Sasuke said coldly, his indifferent gaze piercing like a sharp sword, as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, making the somewhat excited Naruto instantly

calm down.

"Naruto, I appreciate your courage to tirelessly challenge me, but I hate people who overestimate their abilities even more, so please prove it to me with your sweat and blood, Uzumaki Naruto, if you do it, I, Uchiha Sasuke, will

I recognize you as my opponent."

Naruto was shocked and clenched his fists. There seemed to be fire burning in his blue eyes, and he said in an extremely serious tone:

"I will prove it to you, I swear by Uzumaki Naruto's ninja skills, Sasuke!"

After that, Naruto stretched out his fist and said with an extremely serious expression: "This is the agreement between us men!"

"Heh..." Sasuke chuckled, remained silent for a while, and then stretched out his fist.

boom!

Fists collide!

Under the bright moonlight, in the training ground of the Uchiha clan, two young men exchanged fists and made an agreement!

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, who had been watching silently, saw this scene and touched his beard with joy, showing a comforting smile.

——————————

Naruto left. After Naruto left, the sense of prying eyes that had been above his head also disappeared. After all, the Third Hokage paid more attention to Naruto than Sasuke.

Sasuke was naturally aware of the Third Hokage's gaze. What he did just now was half acting and half serious.

Seriously, of course he really needs an opponent who can put pressure on him.

Acting is what makes the Third Hokage feel that he is just a closed person on the outside, but on the inside he is a person who very longs for friendship and values ​​his companions.

Such a personality will naturally appeal to the Third Hokage, and it also means it is relatively stable and easy to control.

Regardless of the original time and space or this world, the Third Hokage did not ban Uchiha Sasuke because of his sensitive identity and be wary of his friendship with Naruto.

On the contrary, judging from the various details and memories of the original time and space, the Third Hokage approved of the friendship between the two and even intended it. For this reason, he also deliberately placed Naruto and Sasuke in the same class.

This will deepen the bond between the two.

Danzo's methods are often high-pressure force and coercion, while the Third Hokage is a guy who likes to play the emotional card, and emotions are often more deadly and difficult to explain in this world.

You can say that the Third Hokage is hypocritical, hypocritical, crocodile tears, or even the mastermind behind the scenes, but it is undeniable that the Third Hokage does feel guilty for Sasuke and Naruto.

So when the Third Hokage was alive, no matter how big the trouble was caused by Naruto, the Third Hokage would suppress it.

Even though Sasuke kept away from strangers all day long and was completely addicted to revenge, the Third Hokage didn't care. Instead, he deliberately guided Sasuke to make more friends and deepen his connection and bond with the village.

Of course, Sasuke would not completely believe what the original time and space showed. His behavior of teaching Naruto the shadow clone just now was actually a kind of trial.
