Chapter 26
"Alright then, let's start studying first. I'll test out the idea in my head on the first of next month."
Natsuki first skimmed through the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu scroll, then began forming hand seals. In the next second—poof—a clone identical to himself appeared beside him.
As expected, his talent was no joke. He learned it in one go.
He glanced at his clone. It was indeed a perfect copy. For his girlfriend, this could very well mean double the pleasure.
Now he couldn't help but wonder: after Naruto married Hinata, did he ever use Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu? And just how many clones did he use each time? Everyone knew Hinata had quite the appetite...
Ahem. He was getting sidetracked again.
Natsuki continued practicing. After an hour, he had not only completely mastered the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, but also became proficient in performing the hand seals with just one hand.
That's the trouble with being able to do one-handed seals—every time he learned a new jutsu, he had to consider the possibility of executing it one-handed, and he had to be fluent at it too. After all, you never know when you'll need it.
Then, Natsuki finalized the first research project for the first day of the next month:
Exploring the possibility of modifying Kage Bunshin no Jutsu into the Shiyōken!
Shiyōken was a move from Dragon Ball, used by Tenshinhan. It gave him two additional arms on his back, granting the advantage of four arms in combat.
They say two fists can't beat four hands. With four hands, you'd have the upper hand in taijutsu. Since the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu could produce a physical clone, why couldn't it be modified to sprout a pair of hands on his back?
