Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

On the Field

In the midst of a staring contest, Naruto and Neji formed the Seal of Confrontation. Neji’s gaze gradually turned serious as he spoke in a low tone, “Naruto, I am truly sorry, but I plan to win all the fights as soon as possible to graduate as the top trainee. Therefore, I won’t show you mercy.”

“Hahahaha, let’s do our best, Neji!” Naruto responded with a cheerful smile. He then added in a serious tone, “Come on!”

“Be careful, Naruto!” After issuing the warning, Neji took a deep breath and activated his Byakugan, proclaiming, “Byakugan!” As the nerves around his eye sockets expanded, he dashed toward Naruto.

Observing Neji rushing toward him, Naruto remained unfazed. He hastily weaved the hand signs and roared, “Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!”

…

On the viewing Stands

Looking at the hand signs woven by Naruto, Hizashi’s expression became solemn. “Uzumaki Naruto… is he going to use the ‘Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu’? Did Kuroto-kun teach him even a Kinjutsu?”

Except for a few senior officials in the village, almost no one knows exactly what Kuroto taught Naruto in those seven months. Many people are aware of the fact that the ‘Hokage-sama’ is carrying out Naruto’s special training, but almost no one knows the exact content of what he is teaching Naruto.

And up until this fight, except for Taijutsu and the use of Kunai, Naruto did not use anything special, so they were not sure. Some assumed that Kuroto had only taught Taijutsu and other simple techniques to Naruto since teaching him is extremely difficult, and Naruto could only learn this much because he is kind of a dumb guy.

But now that he suddenly used the ‘Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu,’ a forbidden Jutsu that not even Jonins and Elite Jonins dare to use recklessly, they suddenly realized that Kuroto seemed to have taught Naruto more than they had expected.

These aren’t just Hizashi’s thoughts but everyone’s thoughts. The appearance of Multiple Shadow Clones took everyone by surprise.

The reason why the ‘Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu’ is listed as a Kinjutsu is obviously not because it is difficult to master. It is, to a certain extent, but as long as someone can master the ‘Shadow Clone Jutsu,’ they can also master the ‘Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu.’ The problem lies in the Chakra consumption, which makes it life-threatening and difficult for many to use unless they have extremely vast Chakra Reserves.

…

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

As the ‘poof’ sound of white smoke erupting continued to resound, with bursts of smoke, figures with the same appearance as Naruto continued to appear on the battlefield.

“Shadow Clones?” muttered Neji as he made his way toward Naruto. He didn’t care about a shadow Clone or two; it didn’t matter to him if Naruto could create a Shadow Clone. It made no difference to him because Neji had confidence that even if he was surrounded by Naruto and his Shadow Clone, he would be able to defeat the two with ease. Even if it’s five or ten Narutos working together against him, he would still win without a doubt!

It’s a pity that things are far more complicated than Neji assumed.

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

Even after a dozen figures of Naruto had appeared on the battlefield, the sound of ‘poof’ did not stop but continued. In the blink of an eye, the number of ‘Naruto’ on the field increased from ‘One’ to ‘Two’ to ‘Dozen’ to ‘More than fifty,’ crossing the ‘Hundred’ benchmarks, and even then, they showed no signs of stopping.

Pretty soon, there were several hundred Narutos standing on the field, filling more than ninety percent of the area.

“Wh-what?” Looking at more Narutos than he could count, even Neji was taken aback. “So many… so many Narutos? Are all of them Shadow Clones? How is this possible?”

Even with his Byakugan’s insight, he couldn’t distinguish the real Naruto from the Shadow Clones because all of them had the same Chakra signature! It was as if all of them were the real Uzumaki Naruto!

“Ooooo! Let’s do it! Let’s show Neji the fruits of our training!” shouted all the Narutos in unison and rushed toward Neji from all directions.

Seeing this scene in the field, everyone was left gobsmacked. Whether the instructors of the Konoha Ninja Academy watching the battle from the sidelines or the family members of the trainees in the viewing stand, they were all left stunned.

“So… so many Shadow Clones!?”

“How did that boy Uzumaki Naruto do it?”

“Hey, this is too exaggerated. To be able to create these many Shadow Clones… is he really just a trainee at the Ninja Academy?!”

“To think that a battle of this level is being fought among the Graduating Trainees!”

In an instant, the field was full of people. There was a lot of noise outside, and there was a lot of discussion on and off the battlefield. The trainees watching the battle from the side also had different expressions at this moment. Trainees who were familiar with Naruto, such as Shikamaru, Chōji, and Kiba, all had expressions of disbelief after seeing Naruto’s performance on the field.

Even the girls like Yakumo, Shion, Mika, Kiyomi, Sakura, Ino, and Tenten all had nervous and expectant expressions on their faces.

Hinata, on the other hand, clasped her hands tightly together. She not only hoped that her elder cousin Neji could win but also hoped that Naruto could win. For a moment, her face was full of entanglement and worry.

Only Sasuke’s expression remained unchanged, but the fact that his Sharingan was already activated and the tomoe in his scarlet wheel was rapidly spinning exposed the unrest in his heart. There is no doubt that Naruto’s performance exceeded his expectations, causing him to subconsciously activate his Sharingan. While observing the battle situation on the field, he was thinking about how to deal with Naruto’s ‘Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.’

…

In the field.

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

Every time there was a low muffled sound, one of the Shadow Clones would turn into white smoke and disappear. Even though he was besieged by hundreds of Narutos, Neji did not lose his calm. He started with ‘Eight-Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms!’ and began to destroy the Shadow Clones one after another while trying to search for the real Naruto.

The moment Neji’s palm touched one of the Shadow Clones, he would inject his Chakra into it, causing it to be destroyed immediately and turn into smoke.

Watching Neji’s performance, Hiashi was impressed and spoke, “I did not expect Neji to have mastered up to the ‘One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms’ at such a young age…”

Hizashi nodded lightly, “He had mastered this technique quite a while ago.” Although he was proud, there was no complacency on his face, and his entire attention was focused on the battle. He is unsure of how the battle will proceed. Although Neji is swiftly and effectively dealing with Naruto’s clones, there are no signs of their numbers decreasing. It’s as if Naruto has an endless supply of those Shadow Clones.

Obviously, the Chakra consumption of a Shadow Clone is far greater than a gentle palm, but the Gentle Fist can also be tiring, and Neji cannot continue to use it again and again without taking any rest.

And sure enough, just as Hizashi had worried, physical exhaustion soon started to catch up with Neji.

After defeating nearly three hundred Shadow Clones in a row, Neji panted lightly, still unable to find the position of the real Naruto. Although Neji doesn’t mind the war of attrition, the clock is ticking, and soon it will be over a minute. After that, even if he wins, he will still lose a lot of points. Not to mention that he has to retain enough physical energy as well as Chakra reserves for the following battles.

‘There is no end to them… the only thing at this point I have to focus on is finding and defeating the real Naruto, but how to identify the real Naruto?’ he thought, looking around.

Not only Neji, but even the trainees who were watching the duel from the sidelines, were also analyzing Naruto’s Shadow Clones, hoping to spot the real guy.

Identifying the real Naruto was extremely difficult, even for Sasuke with his Sharingan, so how could the others identify?

Just as Neji realized that the battle would not go anywhere in this manner, Naruto also realized that just Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu was not enough to defeat Neji. So, he shouted, “Neji… since this is not enough, then I am going to get serious!”

“Go ahead!” said Neji in a solemn tone as he changed his stance and started to gather Chakra in his palms.

Immediately, Naruto’s Shadow Clones gathered in groups of twos and threes and started to create Rasengan. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Rasengan started to take form.

“This?” Neji was startled when he saw the formation of hundreds of ‘Spinning balls of Chakra.’ He didn’t know what these ‘Spinning balls of Chakra’ were, but considering the amount of Chakra in them and how they were spinning irregularly, he knew that if he was touched by this, it might even result in his death. He understood, “Can’t hold back anymore… I will have to go all out!”

Among the judges, Kakashi was taken aback as he saw hundreds of Rasengan taking form on the field. He looked at Kuroto in surprise and asked, “You even taught Rasengan to Naruto?”

“Well, of course… this was the Jutsu created by Minato-sama; it’s natural for Naruto to inherit this Jutsu!” nodded Kuroto with a smile.

Watching this scene, Shisui said in a worried tone, “Will Neji-kun be alright… it’s a bit too much, don’t you think, Kuroto-san?”

“I hope to see both of their growth… let’s see how Neji will respond!” said Kuroto and focused on the battlefield.

…

On the Viewer Stand

Sensing the violent Chakra fluctuations, Fugaku muttered with a frown, “This is… this form of Chakra spinning…?”

Mikoto nodded, “It’s the Jutsu Minato-kun created, Rasengan. Kushina’s son has not only learned this Jutsu, but he is able to create hundreds of them at the same time!”

“Hundreds of them?” Even Fugaku was surprised. Then an amused smile appeared on his face, “No doubt about it, he is the son of that person. And I must say… For Hokage-sama to have trained Minato’s son to this level… it appears that he will indeed do what is required for Sasuke.”

Sitting beside them, Uchiha Hazuki looked at the two people with a confused expression. She was unable to understand what they were talking about. Oh, well, it didn’t matter all that much, but she had to say, “This Uzumaki Naruto… he seems to be something.”

It wasn’t just her, but the others on the viewing stand also had the same thoughts as her. The appearance of hundreds of Rasengan is far more impactful compared to several hundred Shadow Clones; after all, Rasengan is a Rank-A Jutsu!

Sasuke on the sidelines also changed his expression at this time and murmured, “Naruto… this guy…!”
