Chapter 259: Chapter 119: The Uses of the Shadow Clone Technique
Shadow Clone Technique, what can it be used for?
Although there are some ’unique’ applications, Chen Ze just planned to use the Shadow Clone Technique to speed up his culinary training.
This kind of clone that goes out with its own consciousness, and then brings back memories and experiences upon release, Chen Ze thought it was simply a Divine Artifact.
Chen Ze still remembered when he just graduated from college, he often thought about using the Shadow Clone Technique to create dozens of clones to do different jobs, then he could earn tens of thousands a month and reach the pinnacle of life.
Thinking about it still gets me a little excited, but after all, it’s just the occasional adolescent fantasy of a man.
Unexpectedly, there would come a day when it would be realized, and suddenly, Chen Ze felt he could make it again.
"Shadow Clone Technique?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback, he had considered many possibilities, Edo Tensei, Great Breaking Gale, but he really hadn’t expected Chen Ze to propose something like the Shadow Clone Technique.
"Mhm, mhm." Chen Ze nodded excitedly, it was this technique he wanted; in fact, if possible, he thought even having a Divine Being wouldn’t be bad, but that was impossible.
"Alright, I’ll give it to you now." Hiruzen thought for a moment before nodding and agreeing; the Shadow Clone Technique was very basic Ninjutsu, with nothing taboo about it.
"Little Naruto, how’s your magic training going?" Lafra walked in through the door, making Chen Ze brighten up.
Lafra was exceptionally beautiful today, wearing a light blue dress with a hair accessory, and her bejeweled shoes complementing her complexion.
"Teacher! I’ve been training hard, and I can release the Tornado, but I still can’t control it..." Naruto said excitedly, looking at Lafra.
"Lafra, would you like to eat something?" Chen Ze looked at Lafra with a smile, then took a can of cherry-flavored cola out of the fridge and tossed it to her.
"Whatever my dear makes, I’ll eat," Lafra said as she walked over to Chen Ze and took his hand.
This made Chen Ze’s breath stop for an instant; he really hadn’t expected Lafra to take his hand so proactively.
"The master and the teacher’s husband’s relationship is so good..." Naruto, resting his chin in his hands, looked at Chen Ze and Lafra with envy.
Hiruzen of course picked up on Naruto’s feelings; although Naruto was very mischievous, he still longed to experience paternal and maternal love.
However, Hiruzen’s attention was not on that at the moment, but was seriously sizing up Lafra, the blond girl who was Naruto’s teacher.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have found it hard to believe that such a young child could be a magic...a master of magic, but it was the truth.
"My dear, who is this?" Lafra naturally also noticed Hiruzen Sarutobi, since he was sitting at a table with Naruto and staring at her all the time.
"This is the...village chief of the village where Naruto is from," Chen Ze explained with hesitation; from a certain point of view, the Hokage was indeed the village chief. No problem there.
"Naruto, meditate for a bit, I want to see the state of your magic power," Lafra said as she walked over to Naruto and instructed him.
Watching Naruto enter a state of meditation smoothly, Lafra then turned her attention back to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Did you come here for something?" Lafra’s expression changed in an instant, becoming cold and distant.
"Young lady, I am here only..." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Lafra with a smile, planning to take things slow; it wouldn’t be good to state his request right away.
"You called me young lady?" Lafra looked at Hiruzen curiously, it had been thousands of years since she had last heard that address.
"What’s the matter?" Hiruzen looked at Lafra puzzled, as she seemed quite young.
"Never mind, little brother, I’ll get straight to the point, what exactly do you want to do?" Lafra waved her hand and didn’t bother to correct Hiruzen’s address.
"Cough cough..." Hiruzen patted his chest. What kind of nickname was this, and when did he become "little bro"?
"I’m just here to have a meal with Naruto, I have no other intentions," Hiruzen thought it best to take things slowly.
"I don’t like beating around the bush, are you here to learn magic?" Lafra waved her hand impatiently, as she hated beating around the bush the most.
Why not just say what you want to say directly? If it can’t be resolved with words, then just fight it out. If I beat you into submission, then there won’t be any problems left, right?
That was Lafra’s method when she was on shift at the Dark Council, and at such times, the way of resolving issues in the negative plane was notably violent. freewёbnoνel.com
"Caveman your ass, bastard, say it again, this city is my territory!"
"Mad Witch! Don’t think just because you have Bei Feng, that freak, under your command, I won’t dare to mess with you!"
"Come on then, let’s fight!"
"Damn!"
And then, under Lafra’s witness, they would have a big fight, and it would be over.
Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was making a face like he had a stomachache, Chen Ze smiled smugly and then went back to the kitchen.
Chen Ze didn’t plan to get involved in these matters, and he was well aware of what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking. It was too easy to guess the thoughts of an old man who had dedicated his life to Konoha.
Chen Ze opened the braising pot to take a look. The pig tails were still cooking, but there hadn’t been much change yet.
Chen Ze sighed, added some spices and water, and then went to study the scroll of the Shadow Clone Technique.
The scroll for the Shadow Clone Technique looked quite ordinary, with nothing surprising about it, and Hiruzen had already explained how to use it to Chen Ze.
Chen Ze took a deep breath, then opened up a scroll, and a puff of smoke flashed by. The next second, there was an additional him on the scroll.
It was quite magical. At that moment, Chen Ze seemed to have formed a connection with the clone and could even feel how much time it had left.
One hour. A scroll of the Shadow Clone Technique could only maintain a clone for one hour.
It wasn’t a lot of time, but Chen Ze didn’t mind much. For a single-use item, this wasn’t too bad.
"So, I’ll leave it to you then," Chen Ze said to his clone, feeling a bit disoriented.
"No problem, I am you after all," the clone nodded and then picked up a kitchen knife. It went to the basement to get some potatoes and began practicing knife skills.
"This feels... weird," Chen Ze said, watching his clone seriously cutting potatoes and shaking his head, still not quite used to it.
About half an hour passed, and Chen Ze was in the kitchen slicing some beef when Betty came in.
"Manager, manager, that old gentleman has left... eh?" Betty was surprised to see two Chen Zes turning their heads at the same time and was stunned.
"What’s wrong?" Chen Ze asked, puzzled. Hiruzen Sarutobi leaving was nothing unusual.
"Left is man... man on top of man..." Betty muttered under her breath.
The corner of Chen Ze’s mouth twitched. I can hear you, jerk!
