Naruto: Can't Use Ninjutsu? I'll Create the Strongest Fighting Style

"My control over my mental power still isn't strong enough. If it were, I could gradually manipulate the range and precision of my perception... unlike now."

Garou had just tried to narrow the range while increasing the detail and variety of the information he sensed.

Unfortunately, the moment he added a "number of people" filter, the range plummeted by a kilometer, meaning he lost track of the three chakra signatures he'd been monitoring.

Garou moved silently, leaping to the top of a tree, when he noticed a chakra signature rapidly approaching from below.

And then, a figure leapt gently from the ground up to his perch.

"You sensed something?"

"Sensei? Oh, it's a shadow clone. Yeah... I was experimenting with adjusting my mental power to expand perception. I detected three chakra groups ahead."

Garou kept his voice low.

They were far enough from the main unit that whispering wouldn't be overheard.

"..."

Kakashi's shadow clone clearly wasn't keeping his facial expression in check. Even with a mask covering most of his face, the visible eye was wide in shock.
