Chapter 18
Not only did he apply it brilliantly, he even surpassed the original.
What else could one say? That was the emo duckling for you. As expected of an Uchiha—his comprehension really was top-tier.
People often underestimated the Clone Technique, assuming that merging clones with the original body was just as simple. In truth, controlling a phantom clone wasn't easy at all.
Not only did one have to maintain the clone without letting it disperse, but also keep it perfectly aligned with the real body—otherwise, it would fail to confuse the opponent.
Even merging a single clone was difficult.
But Sasuke? He merged two clones. That was on another level.
Truly gifted.
Just think back to right before the Chūnin Exams—Sasuke nearly got wrecked by Lee's Front Lotus. But after seeing it just once, he managed to learn a move that had taken Lee forever to master.
No wonder everyone called Sasuke a genius. The title was well-deserved.
That said, compared to Itachi, Sasuke was more of a standard genius. Itachi... well, he was off the charts.
"Kyaa! Sasuke-kun is amazing! He instantly learned that move!"
"Sasuke-kun is such a genius!"
