Chapter 9:
Shadow clones are completely different from ordinary clones!
This jutsu creates a physical entity that can move and fight independently, with its own consciousness and a degree of resistance to attacks. Unlike ordinary clones, shadow clones can engage in advanced ninjutsu, making them versatile in both combat and strategy.
Not to mention that even some chunin struggle to master the shadow clone technique, so for a six-year-old to pull this off was remarkable.
Combine that with Orochimaru's already above-average strength, and it was no wonder the Uchiha boys were left stunned.
"Damn… how did this happen?" Uchiha Shu mumbled, still in shock.
Uchiha Shu wasn't particularly weak, but he had let his guard down, and Orochimaru had capitalized on that.
From the look on their faces, Orochimaru could tell exactly what these kids were thinking.
Without a word, he deactivated his shadow clone, turned his back on them, and calmly walked away toward the training ground.
He had no interest in dealing with people who had already given up.
