Chapter 5 - New technique

"No, it won't work." Says Nori sitting in his courtyard with a pencil in beetween his fingers while scribbling on a parchment with a slightly frustrated expression.

He had been practicing "Shave" for seven days in a row, but for two days he had been stuck on the fifth step..

During this week his speed had already improved considerably but every time he tried to take six steps, his reflexes couldn't keep up with his speed, making him unable to progress.

Finally he sighed before rolling up his scroll and putting it in a drawer.

"Now while we wait to find a solution for *Shave* let's start developing "Storm Leg" techniques."

*Tok* *Tok* *Tok*

But then a noise at the door disturbed him.

"Who could it be?" Said he before approached the door and after opening it, he look in front of him stood a ninja wearing a mask with a large envelope that he handed to Nori.

Nori, although slightly surprised, recovered the envelope from the masked's ninja's hand, who left silently immediately after.

After reading the contents of the envelope, Nori was overjoyed, the content was quite simple

"Genin Nori Hisamatsu, number: B-649-K, your request was accepted after your recent contributions on the battlefield, you can have access to a tier A, B or C ninjutsus of your choice.

Konoha Administration." "Great!" Said he with joy.

Then, after dressing in official dress, he left his home and went to the Konoha administration.

He easily entered the building and after presenting the validation letter of his application, an old man in his fifties at the reception accompanied him in an underground room, guarded by a dozen ninjas.

Then the old man gave him a scroll and asked him.

"What technique do you want?"

Nori's eyes quickly scanned the list, reading the different techniques information.

Then very quickly he finishes reading the whole list, all techniques, present on the parchment was very useful either for the defense either for attack or escape but a ninjutsu particularly caught his eye, one of only seven ninjutsu of Tier B to which he could have access.

...

*Note: this technique allows the user to share the clone's experience with himself after dissipating it.

*Warning: This technique is extremely harmful to a user below the Jonin level.

"Wait, I remember this technique, it's one of the most used by the main character of Naruto." thinked he as he read the technique's informations.

Then his gaze turned at the old man

"I'd like the B-Rank technique, Shadow Clone, please.' Says Nori

The old man was then slightly surprised

"Do you know the risks of this techniques?" Asked he.

"Yes!" Replied Nori

The old man then nodded and entered to the protected room for a long time before going out, holding a red scroll.

"After read the contents of the scroll, burnt it, if you ever pass on the technique contained to another ninja you will be charged with treason."

Nori then nodded before taking the scroll from the old man's hands and a few minutes later returned home.

He sat on a stone bench in the back yard and carefully read the contents of the parchment for about 30 minutes before burning it.

Then after a few seconds of reflection began to execute a seal with his fingers.

"Tiger!"

*Pag*

Nori felt half of his chackra reserve dissipate, but it was instantly full again.

Then suddenly, in a slight white smoke, an identical copy of Nori appeared.

"Interesting" said he when he saw his clone, in addition to looking exactly like him, he felt that he could perfectly control every action of his clone.

"Dissipation!" Says Nori by executing the previous seal again.

And as if by magic, the clone disappeared, but the most important thing was that Nori had just received all the experience that his clone had acc.u.mulated since his invocation.

Feeling the clone's information passing through his mind, Nori only wanted to jump and shout 666!!!!!

"Well, it's a good start, let's see if my idea works!"

"Tiger!"

"Shadow Clone Jutsu"

*Pag* *Pag* *Pag* *Pag* *Pag*

About twenty clones appeared, staring at Nori as if waiting for his orders.

Nori nodded with satisfaction.

"You ten, you will be busy trying to use {Tempest Kick}  by trying to compress your chakra into your leg's Tenketsus, then use "Body Flicker Technique" on the legs you want to use to attack, thanks to this you will create a high speed movement with your legs and release the compressed chakra into the tenketsu of your feet."

"Understand?" asked Nori.

"Yes!" replied the clones.

Then his gaze turned to the rest of the clones

"Half of you will fight by using only your fists and *Shave*, the rest will practice with me to *Moon step* technique."

"Ready?"

"Yes!!!"

"Go !" said Nori, mingling with the clones, so began a hellish training.
