Chapter 16 Shadow Clone, Yin Seal
After having lunch, Xingyuan Qianshuo sat on the patient chair in the consultation room, watching with great interest as another version of himself—a shadow clone—was hunched over his desk, burying himself in organizing student files and teaching summaries.
"The Shadow Clone Technique is truly amazing; it's a godsend for working people," he muttered contentedly to himself.
"Hey, don't just watch, wouldn't it be faster to attack together?" Shadow Clone Chisaku looked up and complained.
"I used up half of my chakra to create you. If you don't work hard, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?" Xingyuan Qianshuo retorted righteously.
"I have my own independent thoughts, okay? Just because you don't want to work doesn't mean I do!" The shadow clone continued to mutter as it scribbled and drew.
"I used up a lot of chakra to create the Shadow Clone Technique, and now I have to suffer from fatigue after you disappear. Do you know how hard it is for me?"
The main body and the shadow clone bantered back and forth.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was still very interested in the Shadow Clone Technique he had just learned and found it quite fascinating.
Some "bold" and unusual uses even popped into his mind, but he ultimately suppressed them with his strong willpower.
"Unfortunately, to use shadow clones openly, I still need to find a reasonable explanation." He pondered silently.
The ninja village has very strict management of ninjutsu, with both explicit regulations and many unspoken rules.
This is like someone who worked within the system in their past life flaunting luxury goods in public. If you say you have no problems, who would believe you?
In the past, legal procedures might have been followed for investigation, but in the ninja world, once you are suspected, the Anbu and Root will not follow the rules.
Hypnosis, torture, illusion, mind reading... they have too many methods.
"Finally done." Shadow Clone Qian Shuo put down his pen, stretched, and said, "Now it's your turn to feel tired."
"Yes, yes, yes." Xingyuan Qianshuo nodded and then deactivated the shadow clone.
A flood of memories rushed into my mind, somewhat similar to the feeling of being directly implanted by the system, yet even more real and vivid.
Although the system had already given him the memories of cultivating and using the Shadow Clone Technique, experiencing the effects of the technique firsthand was still much more profound.
The chakra consumed in casting a shadow clone is divided into two parts: one is to construct the clone's physical form, and the other is to evenly distribute the chakra refined from the original body.
The former is a real consumption of ninjutsu, which Xingyuan Qianshuo estimates to be around 1000 points. It may be reduced after becoming more proficient.
The latter flows within the shadow clone's body to maintain movement or perform ninjutsu, and the amount allocated depends on the amount of chakra extracted by the original body when performing the technique.
Outside of combat, shadow clones can be continuously replenished by the original body or others through physical contact by inputting chakra into them.
Unfortunately, after the shadow clone is dispelled, the unused chakra does not automatically return to the original body.
Although the chakra of the main body and the shadow clone are separate, they resonate in some way—this is the basic principle of the shadow clone.
In theory, unused chakra can be recycled.
It's worth noting that when Naruto fought Pain, he used Shadow Clones to gather Sage Chakra. After dispelling the clones, the Sage Chakra returned to his original body, sustaining Sage Mode.
Ordinary chakra won't work, but Sage chakra will.
It seems that to achieve remote transmission or chakra recovery, one needs extremely high perception and control, and it may even depend on the quality of the chakra itself, such as Sage Mode or Tailed Beast Chakra.
Since Xingyuan Qianshuo is neither a sensory ninja nor possesses high-level energy, he is naturally unable to recycle and reuse chakra.
His shadow clone technique can only be used for auxiliary tasks for now; its cost-effectiveness is not high if used in combat.
……
Boom, boom.
Xingyuan Qianshuo knocked on the door of Tsunade's office.
Upon hearing the response, he pushed open the door and went inside.
Konoha Hospital operates on a shift system on weekends, but medical rescue is of utmost urgency and requires the presence of a medical jonin.
Even Tsunade, who had been resting for a long time, had to accept the shift schedule.
"Lady Tsunade, this is today's teaching summary and student files for the special class." Hoshino Senjue respectfully handed over the documents, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the striking curves of her chest.
Tsunade took it, flipped through it casually, and nodded: "Not bad, Chisaku, you're quite organized."
"Huh?" Xingyuan Qianshuo suddenly noticed that Tsunade was different today, radiating a glow.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed a bluish-purple diamond-shaped mark on her fair forehead.
Noticing his gaze, Tsunade smiled, clearly in a very good mood.
Having achieved success after years of cultivation, she also harbored a bit of a boastful intention. Pointing to her forehead, she introduced herself with a touch of pride:
"This is the Yin Seal, a sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan. It can accumulate and store chakra daily, releasing a large amount of energy at crucial moments."
"Congratulations, Lady Tsunade," said Hoshino Sensaku sincerely.
"Congratulations! Two years... do you know how I've spent these past two years?"
Cultivating the Yin Seal requires maintaining precise chakra control over a long period of time, continuously condensing and storing it. During this time, one must be highly focused and cannot use one's own chakra at will.
Naturally, she couldn't drink freely—which was the most agonizing thing for Tsunade.
"Two years?" Hoshino Senju was slightly surprised. "If I remember correctly, Sakura took three years to complete her training. Is it because Tsunade has more chakra, or is the Yin Seal now different from the Hundred Healings Seal in the future?"
He didn't know that Tsunade's "two years" was actually an exaggeration—she had twice ruined her efforts due to excessive drinking, so it actually took her about a year and a half.
"Hey kid, how about we grab a drink tonight? Let's celebrate. Forget about the three ninja taboos." Tsunade, who had been suppressing her emotions for two years, was like a homeowner who had just paid off a 30-year mortgage and just wanted to let loose.
Unfortunately, Jiraiya was traveling, and Orochimaru was secretly conducting research all day, so she had no choice but to have this junior, who was somewhat agreeable, drink with her.
"Of course, I'd be honored. Today, I'll treat you to a meal to celebrate Lady Tsunade's birthday." Hoshino Senju didn't refuse; this was a good opportunity to get closer to her.
In Konoha Village, even with a cheat code, you can't get anywhere without a powerful backer.
He can't just keep developing in the shadows forever, can he? Otherwise, he'd become like Danzo Shimura.
"You little rascal, you've got it." Tsunade accepted her subordinate's "bribe" without any hesitation.
"Lady Tsunade, my chakra control has improved a lot recently, and I've also mastered the Palm Healing Technique and the Minor Ailment Extraction Technique. I'm not sure what to learn next. Do you have any suggestions?" Hoshino Senjutsu took the opportunity to ask for advice.
"Oh, medical ninjutsu includes learning the Regeneration Technique and the Chakra Scalpel. The latter is an offensive ninjutsu, very useful for medical ninjas," Tsunade replied.
"Then I'll apply to learn chakra scalpel techniques first," Hoshino Senju chimed in, then pressed on, "Actually, I'm also very interested in sealing techniques, but unfortunately I don't have any basic learning materials."
"Hey kid, can't you just say what you mean?" Tsunade saw right through him. "I'll go back and find it, and put together a list for you."
"Thank you for your guidance, Lady Tsunade," Hoshino Senju sincerely thanked her. "I'll definitely offer you a few more drinks tonight."
"Hmph, this can't be repaid with just one drink."
"Not at all. From now on, if Lady Tsunade wants a drink, I'll be there whenever you call."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xingyuan Qianshuo took his leave.
