As soon as i arrived at home i formed a cross, naruto fans would undoubtly recognize this as the most famous jutsu of the protagonist.

"Shadow Clone", i shouted inwardly as the cross drained my chakra and formed a mass of something outside of my body.

With a smokescreen another me appeared.

*Thud*

My whole body fell like a bag of potatoes onto the ground.

Using the Jutsu drained me from almost all of my Chakra reserves.

Only a tiny amount remained my body as i couldn't move my body anymore.

Thankfully i still remained consciousness or else the clone would fade into smoke.

My other self glared at me.

"It's really weird to see yourself even though you exist as well. But since my experience will also transfer to the original body we can still be seen as one."

"Ugh, after all it shouldn't be possible for the clone to "live" more than one day. After all once the original body sleeps the clone will poof into oblivion. Besides nobody wants to have a clone that lives longer than that. Having two personalities ain't a good thing." i groaned back.

Not wanting to experience the hard and cold floor i put my body into a warm blanket. I also walked towards the restaurant of my parents and ordered a huge amount of Meat Buns. They are nutritious, yummy and easy to warm up.

Since the Manager appearently worked for my Dad for more than 10 years he didn't question me, instead he gave me 10,000 Ryo and double the amount of Meat Buns saying that i should warm them up if they get cold.

Now back in the training hall i thought about the infamous shadow clone training Method from Naruto.

It should work for literally everything. Even for Taijutsu as every experience gets transfered over as well as the exhaustion. So saying it from a medical perspective using the clone to train will also train up the real body.

There was only one problem at the moment. I had too littly chakra. If i use up my chakra for one clone it's the same as if training with my real body.

Since it was only an experience i can say it wasn't a huge success, the training method didn't speed up the training pace. Though it can be used as soon as i am able to create two clones.

Because i was still exhausted from training in the academy training hall i stopped throwing Kunais or Shurikens, instead i continued to train my Chakra control.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

After a few Hours i panted. Green powder surrounded me like dust an forgotten tea cup.

I still wasn't able to control solely on the leaf as my Chakra turned the leaf into powder.

Thought it felt way easier to move my Chakra through the Channels of my Body than before.

With a smile i released the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

*Poof*

After the clone wrapped me in a warm blanket i began to eat the Meat Buns. With each bite i devoured and savored the flavour of Meat, Vegetables and fluffy dough.

Finishing the 30th Meat Bun i patted my belly before looking towards the academy books.

It is possible to learn the Clone Technique, Body Replacement Technique and Transformation Technique just by books as they only need few or no hand seals.

(AN: I will probably keep writing the English names for the techniques, i ain't that good with Japanese and kinda hate it when some writers literally use half-japanese for action-scenes . Though some words are absolute necessary like Hokage, Konoha etc. as they sound a little bit stupid if translated. Like Fire-Shadow or Village Hidden in Fire, but don't worry i will make notes on things i need to look up. I am a really casual watcher.)

Combined with the fact that they are used by every ninja, whether Jonins or Genins i deemed them as a foundation for every ninja. Well there is one exception and that is the Clone Technique. There wasn't a real use in the story besides the academy test and since the clones have no shadow and disappear with a single strike, doesn't matter how strong, they are only waste of chakra.

If there is a moment where it could be useful i would say at night.

Why? Because one could bluff the enemy by making clones. Since the fact that the clone has no shadow won't be easily seen if the environment is dark itself.

Otherwise the clone technique is crap. It may be seen as basic for future clone techniques like the water/earth/lightning clone, but the power level between them is like heaven and earth. After all an actual clone is like having a second teammate but with perfect coordination with yourself. Since it is literally you.

I continued to read the academy books and felt impressed at the information contained within the book. As i decided that my learning order should be replacement technique -> transformation technique -> clone technique (obvious from most useful to useless), i started with replacement technique.

And seriously, there was so much information within it. Naturally everything sounded as book-smart as possible, like which object to replace in which environment. Wooden logs in forests was as obvious as it can get, but what if you are fighting in the planes/desert/rocky mountains?

Adding onto that was the history, a heavy reminder that the basic should always be mastered and a lot of bullshit like how Konoha implemented the replacement technique in their academy and how much it improved their survival rate in the wars.

After that the book pretty much turned into a festival of filler pages. I mean it is necessary to learn how to think with a strategic mind, but how should one develop a quick strategic mind when the book needed more than 20 pages discussion place to decide whether one should replace the wooden log on the left or right tree.

Naturally i read everything as there could be something hidden in the lines. There was only one interesting thing. Appearently the Body flicker technique is the parent technique of the replacement technique.

The Hand seal for the body replacement technique was Tiger -> Boar -> Ox -> Dog -> Snake, though i still didn't knew any of these hand seals i could only smile bitterly. It seemed so easy in the story and the fanfictions. Everyone was a hand seal monger and could do one handed seals with a speed of 50 gazillions per second.

And now there is me who can't even remember the 12 basic hand seals. I am truly the "greatest" of all reincarnators. A system which gives me a 10% boost on my body and that's it. No shitty Rinne-Sharingan and infinity chakra with absolute control.

Yet i must say it doesn't feel that bad. I did my first jutsu today and it's even the most iconic jutsu of naruto. Naturally i ignored the fact that i literally sucked at everything else.

Satisfied with goals on hand i felt an excitement for the future.
