Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

"Classmates, the second half of the first academic year has officially begun. After half a year of study, everyone has refined chakra and has the foundation to perform ninjutsu." Sarutobi's clear and loud voice came from the podium.

"Next, it's time to teach you some ninjutsu. I believe many of you know what it is. Yes, it is the three-body technique, the clone technique, the substitute technique, and the transformation technique. The three-body technique is the basic skill of a ninja. Although the difficulty is only D-level, it can indeed save your life in special moments." Sarutobi Qingche continued.

Yes, the Three Body Technique runs through the entire original Naruto. The savior Uzumaki Naruto's ninjutsu of saving the world, the Reverse Harem Technique, is actually the effect of the Transformation Technique, an upgraded version of the Clone Technique. The Shadow Clone Technique can be seen in almost every episode. The Stand Technique was very common in the early stage, but it became useless in the later stage when demons were rampant. However, its importance among ordinary ninja groups cannot be denied. At critical moments, it can really save lives.

Listening to Sarutobi's clear lecture, the students in the classroom were clearly divided into two extremes. At one extreme were the students from ordinary civilian backgrounds, who couldn't suppress their excitement when they heard that they could finally learn ninjutsu. At the other extreme were the students from the ninja clan, who were obviously very calm, as if it was no big deal.

Although Dihuangwan was born in a civilian family, he was much calmer than other civilian students. After all, he had already started practicing the S-level Eight Gates Ninjutsu, although he had not yet mastered it...

"Today I will teach you the clone technique. The seal of the clone technique is Wei-Si-Yin." After saying this, Sarutobi Kiyoshi demonstrated the clone technique on the spot and explained how chakra works.

With a bang, a clone that looked exactly like Sarutobi Kiyoshi appeared.

"Wow!!!" There were bursts of exclamations in the classroom.

"Oh my god! Is this the transformation technique? So cool!"

'Wow! That's amazing! I want to learn it!'

of course there are exceptions.

"Tsk, you are a commoner who has never seen the world!" said an Uchiha child with his nose almost turned upside down.

"Everyone, be quiet. The order of seals and the way chakras are used have been taught to you. You must practice diligently after class. I will assess your progress in a week, and then I will teach you another of the three body techniques, the transformation technique." Sarutobi said clearly, suppressing the noisy voice. "Next, it's the theory class."

Finally, school was over, and Dihuangwan went back to his family's fruit shop to help deliver food. Of course, there was another delivery man, Matt Dai, but Matt Dai was very fast. When Dihuangwan arrived at the fruit shop, Matt Dai had already gone to deliver an order, so he didn't meet him.

After delivering the takeaway, it was getting dark. After having dinner with his mother, Dihuangwan locked himself in the room and began his first clone jutsu according to the seals and chakra operations taught by teacher Sarutobi Kiyomi during the day.

"Wei-Si-Yin, clone technique!"

With a bang, a limp white version of Dihuang Wan appeared beside him. It lasted less than three seconds before another bang, which turned into white mist and disappeared.

"Oops, the chakra amount is not right, it is running too little, try again!"

"The Clone Technique!"

Bang! This time it was obviously much stronger than the first time. The complexion of the clone was much better, but it was still very different from the original body.

‘Come again! ’

Finally, after 10 times of practice, the difference between the clone and the original body became negligible.

"Finally, I have learned the clone technique. I never thought that my ability in clone technique is much better than that of the child of destiny, Uzumaki Naruto, who even failed the clone technique in the graduation exam." Dihuangwan thought.

"After practicing ten times, I have used up two-thirds of my chakra, which means I can only perform fifteen D-level ninjutsu at most. I estimate that my current chakra is only enough for one and a half C-level ninjutsu. I cannot practice the water ninjutsu scroll left by my father for the time being. I don't have enough chakra to practice." Dihuangwan thought.

"Don't think too much about it. First, master the Three Body Technique, then continue to exercise, improve the chakra level, and lay a solid foundation. This is the most important thing." Dihuangwan started doing push-ups on the floor at home.

Only after using up the last bit of his physical strength and chakra did Dihuang Wan fall into a deep sleep in the medicinal bath tub.

The next morning, Dihuangwan clearly felt that his chakra had increased slightly, which made him very happy. He casually performed the clone technique, and with a bang, a clone exactly like Dihuangwan appeared.

"Yes! Cultivation is youth!" Dihuang Wan couldn't help but shout.

After breakfast, I went to school happily.

According to his own estimation, apart from the students of the Ninja Clan, there should be few ordinary civilian students who can master the Clone Technique faster than him.

When he arrived at the classroom, everyone was discussing the art of clones. Listening to everyone's chattering, Dihuang Wan confirmed his prediction.

"Dihuangwan-kun, have you mastered the clone technique?" Kurama Feiyun's voice came from behind.

"Feiyun-chan, after a night of practice, I finally learned it," Dihuangwan said modestly.

Dihuangwan's chakra level is just average, but his talent in ninjutsu is still quite good, and he believes he will not lose to other ninja students.

"Dihuangwan-kun is amazing. He has no ninja background, but he was able to learn it so quickly. He must have worked very hard. I learned the clone technique in my family in advance, but it took me three days to master it." Kurama Feiyun praised and sighed.

"No way!" Dihuangwan blushed and said, "Maybe the clone technique is more to my liking, and learning other ninjutsu may not be so smooth."

"Feiyun-chan is also very good. The Kurama clan is famous for illusions. Learning illusions must be much faster than ninjutsu. When I went to your house to deliver fruit during the holidays, I saw that you were working hard on practicing illusions." Dihuangwan also praised.

Sure enough, after listening to this, Anma Feiyun's eyes curved into crescents again, which looked very beautiful!

Girls need to be coaxed more!

In the next month, Sarutobi Kiyomi taught the transformation technique and the substitution technique. Dihuangwan mastered the transformation technique in two days and the substitution technique in two days, both of which were slower than the clone technique, but the speed was also very fast. It can be seen that different ninjutsu depends on talent and compatibility. There was a classmate in Dihuangwan's class who learned the clone technique and the substitution technique in three days, but he could not master the transformation technique no matter what.

It is one thing to master a single skill, and it is another to be able to use it skillfully. The school's actual combat exercises will not begin until the next school year, and the students of the ninja clan will conduct actual combat exercises in advance within the clan. As for Dihuangwan, in addition to daily training, he also conducts combat exercises with Might Dai.

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

boom! Bang!

A section of the wooden stake was kicked away by Mighty Dai and broke into two sections.

"Brother Dai, you are too cruel. Fortunately, I used the substitute technique in advance." Looking at the wooden stake broken into two sections not far away, Dihuang Wan swallowed his saliva.

"Haha, I was so excited just now that I couldn't help but try out my new move, Konoha Cyclone. How is it? Is it powerful enough?" Might Dai showed his signature shining teeth.

"Of course you are amazing! Brother Dai's taijutsu is getting more and more powerful. Ordinary Genin are no match for you." Dihuangwan exclaimed.

Konoha Cyclone is the signature physical technique of Might and his son. It appears many times in the original work, and Dihuangwan is certainly aware of its power.

"But I only have physical skills. I still can't learn the three body techniques. Sigh," Might Dai said helplessly.

"Brother Dai, I think even if you only know Taijutsu, you can still become a powerful ninja. You will walk your own path, your own path to becoming a strong man." Dihuangwan said seriously.

"Di Huang Wan! You are worthy of being my life and death brother, my dearest friend, I will do it!" Might Dai said with emotion, "Come on, let's walk around Konoha upside down, burn your youth!"

After saying that, he rushed out upside down.

Seeing this, Dihuang Wan shook his head helplessly and followed him upside down.
