Chapter 143 Shadow Clone and Fighting Blade Staff, Before the Wind Rises
"Thirty thousand taels? I actually got thirty thousand taels as a reward for this C-rank mission! Kakashi-sensei, are you mistaken?" At the Class 7 assembly point, Taro was so excited that he trembled as he looked at the money in his hand.
Jiro, standing next to him, was also droning on, holding the money notes and muttering incoherently, "I'm rich! I'm rich!"
They thought that even if something unexpected happened, they would only get a few thousand taels at most, since they hadn't really helped much! But to their utter surprise, Kakashi gave them a huge surprise when they met today.
"Well, after all, the Hokage is paying for this mission as an S-rank mission. This is already considered low; we Jonin and Chunin will also take a significant share." Kakashi waved his hand dismissively, then handed another thick envelope to Ishikawa.
"This is yours, 100,000 taels."
"One hundred thousand taels!!" Upon hearing this, the two henchmen exclaimed in surprise, their eyes shining as they looked at the envelope.
Despite their envy, they felt no jealousy or resentment. Given their elder brother's performance on this mission, receiving 100,000 taels was only fair. In fact, it might even seem a bit too little!
"Teacher, I want to learn your Earth Release technique and Shadow Clone Jutsu from last night. My current offensive ninjutsu is too limited, and I'm running out of tricks when it matters." Ishikawa took the envelope without even looking at it and changed the subject to make his request.
They rarely get a chance to see Kakashi now, so they must seize the opportunity to learn from him! Since the Red-Eyed One can now openly use X-ray vision, which would significantly increase their learning speed, why not use it?
"Fighting Blade Staff?" Kakashi murmured and nodded in agreement. Ishikawa currently only knows Earth Release: Earth Wall and Mind Decapitation Technique, and his Earth Release attacks are indeed lacking.
As for learning Shadow Clone Technique? He had no objection to that either; basically every senior Chunin knows this B-rank ninjutsu.
"I want to learn about the nature transformation techniques related to fire attributes too..."
"Yes, and there are also cultivation methods for water-attribute nature transformation."
Seeing this, Tarojiro quickly seized the opportunity. They weren't particularly eager to learn new ninjutsu; they were more interested in achieving a qualitative change in their strength through nature transformation.
"Is that so? Then I'll give you another special training session today. Starting tomorrow, you can continue to go to the Hokage to get missions. I have other things to do." Kakashi scratched his head and said helplessly. Whether he was herding one sheep or three sheep was not a big deal for him.
However, I had originally planned to familiarize myself with the kaleidoscope and body changes today, but it seems I'll have to postpone my training.
"Ishikawa, use your red eyes to observe my chakra flow." With ample chakra, Kakashi was naturally uninhibited and immediately formed hand seals to prepare to teach the three of them how to create shadow clones, while also passing on the Shadow Clone Technique to Ishikawa.
In response, Ishikawa, of course, did not hold back and activated his red-eye ability to gain X-ray vision and cheat codes.
Soon, under the envious gazes of his two underlings, Kakashi created two shadow clones and led them aside to explain the nature transformation training.
Meanwhile, Ishikawa also began his accelerated training mode...
The time spent cultivating was always both tedious and immersive. With the four masters and disciples teaching diligently, the time quickly came to evening.
"Ninja Art: Shadow Clone Technique..."
As the sun sets over the training ground, Ishikawa forms hand seals and shouts in a low voice.
The next instant, two puffs of white smoke drifted past Ishikawa and two shadow clones that looked exactly like him appeared.
While the B-rank Shadow Clone Technique is not as powerful as the A-rank forbidden technique Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, it is not limited to creating only one clone; rather, it can create up to five or six shadow clones.
For Ishikawa, his 0.5 chakra amount was enough for his B-rank Shadow Clone Technique, so he wasn't in a hurry to learn the Multiple Shadow Technique.
As the shadow clone appeared, Ishikawa's hands continuously changed hand seals again, "Earth Release: Fighting Blade Staff..."
As the technique was completed, several stone pillars suddenly emerged from the ground. Although not as powerful and spectacular as Kakashi's previous ones, they still managed to uproot hundreds of square meters of land, which was quite intimidating!
With two puffs of white smoke, the shadow clone was affected by the earth-style jutsu and disappeared, giving Ishikawa his first unique experience of memory feedback.
"That's enough for today. Let's go, it's been a long time since we've had a meal together, it's on me today." Kakashi glanced at the panting Ishikawa and extended an invitation, a rare occurrence for him.
"Hehehe! Then we won't stand on ceremony today, I want to eat barbecue!!" Ishikawa grinned and readily agreed, calling over his two underlings.
He helped Kakashi resolve the side effects of the Sharingan, so it's only natural that he gets a big meal!
If it weren't for our current weakness and fear of causing trouble, Ishikawa would never have wasted this favor.
But it's not a big problem. Kakashi will find out when he's strong enough to protect himself. Then, hehehehe...
"Oh, right! You owe me money for the medicine you owed me before. Um, and as for future expenses, never mind, don't bother. Each of you keep five thousand taels for living expenses and give me the rest."
After a hearty meal, on the way home, Ishikawa said something to his two underlings, which immediately made Tarojiro, who had just made a fortune, look miserable and complain bitterly.
Despite their banter, the two of them still obediently handed over the money they had just received!
They had personally experienced the effects of the secret medicine, and they couldn't let their elder brother pay out of his own pocket to enhance their strength.
"Alright, stop looking so sad. I'll give you a dose of secret medicine every three days from now on, so your money won't be wasted. In fact, I might even have to keep paying out of my own pocket." Ishikawa waved his hand, feigning a scolding, and then leisurely went home under the surprised gazes of his two underlings.
He doesn't really care about the money, but whether or not he wants it is a matter of attitude.
It's impossible for someone to get something for free; this provides a reasonable explanation and strengthens the bond!
Night, a time-traveling room.
"Xiaolin, you're finally back." Looking at the girl he hadn't seen for several days, Ishikawa glanced at her with his red eyes, secretly relieved, and greeted her warmly.
It seems everything is normal over there; Madara Uchiha has no suspicion of them.
"Yeah, I went on a mission these past two days. By the way, Ishikawa, Madara Uchiha shouldn't have noticed anything. I secretly saw a new White Zetsu continuing to monitor Obito, but he didn't do anything else."
"That should be right! But we can't let our guard down. Strengthening our strength is the best way to break through their schemes." Ishikawa nodded in agreement, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then reached for the doorknob to start his cultivation.
With the Shadow Clone and the doorknob working together, he needed to accelerate his training to become familiar with and master the Fighting Blade Staff, Shadow Clone, and Chidori.
"Ishikawa-kun is really hardworking. I can't fall behind too much and hold you back..." Nohara Rin glanced at Ishikawa and murmured softly before walking towards the doorknob to start her training.
Actions speak louder than words, and the two of them tacitly began to work hard to change their fate!
it is more than words……
[By the way, why was the teacher given a ten-second electric shock last night? Was it due to his skill or a strong rejection reaction from the kaleidoscope?]
As Ishikawa collapsed onto the sofa, feeling the tingling sensation in his body, a fleeting question crossed his mind.
The former is fine, but if it's the latter, wouldn't transplanting Hashirama cells or a stronger Rinnegan be a bit risky?
However, these were all happy troubles, and Ishikawa quickly stopped thinking about them and decided to take things one step at a time...
