Chapter 188: Unexpected Discovery - Chakra Mode

Training Ground.

Choji was eating specially made military ration pills, a new recipe Sawada had recently given to the Akimichi clan.

The caloric content of these ration pills was considerably higher than ordinary ones.

They perfectly met Choji's training needs.

Nyanko beside him was licking his lips, drool almost dripping down.

There was no helping it. Under his exceptionally keen sense of smell, Choji's ration pills smelled particularly sweet and fragrant.

Unable to bear Nyanko's constant staring, Choji reluctantly took one out from his ninja tool pouch and handed it over.

"Then I won't be polite!" Nyanko's eyes lit up as he was about to bring the ration pill to his mouth.

The next second...

BOOM!

"My ration pill!" Nyanko watched as the ration pill fell into the mud, about to turn around to see who was bold enough to disturb him.

The result was...

"Hey... this is too much!"

Nyanko stared dumbfounded at the figures covering the entire training ground, unable to help swallowing.

"Naruto is really amazing!"

Choji exclaimed, eyes wide with awe.

Countless figures stood before him, scattered across the training ground and perched high in the towering trees.

He marveled, "At least over a thousand, right?"

"Let's go!"

Suddenly, a thunderous chorus erupted as Naruto's shadow clones shouted in unison.

The sheer volume of their voices shook the surrounding trees, making leaves rustle violently.

Startled birds took flight in all directions, disturbed by the overwhelming commotion.

Smack!

On the field, Sawada helplessly flicked Naruto's head with two fingers, producing a crisp sound.

"Ouch!"

Naruto painfully covered his forehead and cried out in anguish.

"Cancel them first! Naruto!" Sawada looked around and said to Naruto.

"Yes!" Knowing he was wrong, Naruto hurriedly canceled the Multiple Shadow Clone jutsu.

In an instant, countless shadow clones turned into smoke, and Naruto's main body also flickered. This multiple vision was truly marvelous!

On the training ground, whether it was Shikamaru or Sasuke, neither had recovered yet.

Sasuke's mouth twitched. So many shadow clones...

Sasuke had a premonition that the next time he challenged himself, he would definitely be beaten badly by Naruto!

Without any hesitation, Sasuke turned and headed toward the waterfall beside the training ground.

He needed to train more!

"Hehe." Naruto scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassedly at Sawada.

"You..." Sawada somewhat impatiently poked Naruto's head and said helplessly, "Did you understand everything Sensei just said?"

"Yes, sensei!" Naruto immediately nodded.

Naruto's heart was now full of confidence; after all, the training Sensei mentioned was completely what he excelled at.

The first step now was to maintain the existence of shadow clones as much as possible.

"Mm, now go practice near the waterfall. The first step is to have your shadow clones continuously and stably output chakra to resist the waterfall's impact."

"Remember, the purpose of this training is to accelerate your mastery of sustainability, not precise chakra output patterns."

Sawada nodded.

This training wasn't for any special reason. Sawada just wanted Naruto to begin consciously using versatile shadow clones for combat.

In the original work, Naruto's shadow clones broke at almost any touch. If he could improve their resistance through this method, it would be a huge improvement for Naruto.

After all, Naruto didn't lack chakra, but using durable shadow clones for sustained combat could directly exhaust enemies.

Moreover, Sawada looked at Naruto with full confidence.

Future training directions would simply be physical ability and recovery capability.

Sawada hoped Naruto could break through extreme endurance limits and quickly achieve self-repair of injuries.

These were all positive guidance for vitality awakening.

And through multiple shadow clones accelerating the fatigue accumulated during training, bringing mental and physical fatigue to a critical point.

This way, the Nine-Tails' chakra could be quickly converted to Naruto's chakra through sealing jutsu.

Most important here was discovering Naruto's Uzumaki constitution and Nine-Tails chakra mobilization.

This training would continue until Naruto could complete basic cultivation and cooperate with the Nine-Tails.

At least in the future, he wouldn't need to consult the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki anymore.

Solidify the foundation, accumulate breakthroughs.

This was the goal Sawada set for Naruto.

Even if Naruto's strength didn't improve significantly before graduation, his foundation would definitely be the most solid among everyone.

And besides his innate Wind Release, Naruto still needed to learn and cultivate other attributes.

As a ninja with abundant chakra, Sawada naturally wouldn't let Naruto only know a single Wind Release ninjutsu.

After understanding Sawada's requirements, Naruto immediately ran off quickly.

He couldn't wait to start training! There was only one goal!

That was to not let Sasuke get too cocky!

In the following time, Naruto directly threw himself into this high-intensity training.

After training ended each day, he appeared exhausted, though this wasn't because the Nine-Tails was unwilling to cooperate with Naruto.

Rather, the Nine-Tails' chakra output needed to maintain balance and gradually stack up.

Otherwise, even if Naruto improved later, his chakra control would decline.

Moreover, Sawada seemed to have noticed something.

Naruto appeared to be training in sealing jutsu. This discovery was revealed by Naruto himself to Sasuke.

After all, to prevent being surpassed by Naruto, Sasuke was constantly provoking him every day.

He wanted to understand Naruto's strength improvement through this, but who knew Naruto now completely ignored Sasuke's provocations?

Finally, with no choice, he proudly said he would give Sasuke a big surprise later.

Regarding this, Sawada indicated that Minato Namikaze was a very good assistant.

He himself could only deepen sealing jutsu effects through Yin-Yang chakra, but couldn't teach Naruto too much.

He was powerless. The best sealing jutsu ninjas in all of Konoha were Kushina and Minato.

As for others, Sawada could only say, If it really didn't work, don't consult with them.

"Ninja Technique: Butterfly Mode, Gluttony Form!"

On the training ground, Choji quickly formed hand seals, rapidly converting the ration pill he had just consumed.

Hm?

As this technique activated, Choji clearly felt something different.

Butterfly patterns appeared on Choji's body, and his entire chakra volume surged dramatically.

Strong winds caused by chakra fluctuations swept around, attracting the attention of Shikamaru and others.

"Choji, try your speed and strength."

Sawada walked over and said to Choji.

Choji nodded, then stomped his feet.

BOOM!

Choji shot out like a cannonball, followed by trees around the training ground continuously falling, producing thunderous rumbling sounds.

"Sensei! I've mastered it!"

After returning, Choji excitedly asked Sawada.

Sawada smiled and nodded. "Good, you've mastered it."

Moreover, Choji's form made Sawada think of something: Chakra Mode.
