Senior Brother of Konoha

Ramen didn't answer Naruto's last question because it couldn't understand it either.

Naruto couldn't run to question Sarutobi Hiruzen, and there was no other way to investigate the matter, so he could only put it aside for the time being and start to enter a state of crazy training.

With the help of Ramen, Naruto successfully mastered the true essence of controlling the nine-tailed demon fox and controlled the number of clones in the multiple shadow clone technique to less than 10.

Then, he left one of the shadow clones in the small courtyard and pretended to practice hard every day. Under the cover of the phantom formation, the main body and the other shadow clones got rid of the surveillance of the shadow guards and went to his secret base deep in Chailin. , receive training in ramen.

The first thing to do is the training.

Naruto tried meditating with the two shadow clones at the same time, but only the main body was able to fully meditate and practice the Breathing Technique. The two shadow clones were either dozing off or scratching their heads and ears, and the efficiency of practicing true energy was not even 1.

He also tried to meditate with two shadow clones at the same time, but only one succeeded, and the other one was ineffective.

The results of the test proved Ramen's statement. He had no way to create several shadow clones at the same time to improve his cultivation efficiency. He could only meditate with one shadow clone at most, and like everyone else, he could not meditate for more than 4 hours a day.

Naruto would never blindly follow ramen at any time.

He will never forget that Ramen is now just a conscious clone of the nine-tailed demon fox, and its body is still sealed in his body, looking forward to being freed all the time.

And he will never give it freedom.

At least not now.

The second item is physical training.

Experiments have proven that physical training performed by the shadow clone can only improve training skills, but not physical fitness. Only physical training performed by the main body can truly improve physical fitness.

However, Naruto wasn't particularly worried about his physical fitness.

He can use not only the huge real energy of the nine-tailed demon fox, but also the equally huge physical energy, which will not let him be exhausted when using the multiple shadow clone technique.

Of course, he will not give up on physical training, because he will never put all his expectations on the nine-tailed demon fox.

The third item is skill training.

The experiment of skill training was quite successful. For the same seal skill training, the shadow clone No. 3 and the main body were trained at the same time, and the efficiency was almost tripled.

When a person practices the seals, there are always things he cannot take care of.

If the shadow clone and the main body are trained face to face at the same time, you can clearly see the other party's entire seal formation process and notice the shortcomings or advantages.

In this way, when the shadow clone returns to the main body, the two phases will be printed, and the experience gained will be greatly improved.

Of course, such substantial improvements will only occur in the early stages. After all, it is impossible to overcome shortcomings forever.

.

For practitioners in the Hokage Continent, seals are as important as true essence.

Almost all spells require seals to be successfully activated.

High-level practitioners can crush low-level practitioners with their abundant true energy, but among practitioners of the same level, the only competition is the speed and quality of seal formation.

To put it simply, if the amount of real energy is the same, whoever can form seals faster will win.

The speed is the same, whoever has better seal quality wins.

The twelve basic seals of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Wu, and Hai are not secrets, and everyone in Konoha can practice them.

However, handyman disciples cannot practice during work, and there will be no senior brothers to teach faster and better seal formation techniques.

However, those handyman disciples with good family backgrounds will be taught by relatives of high-level practitioners.

People like Naruto can only explore on their own, so he must train harder.

.

The fourth item is spell training.

The experiment was not entirely successful, but it made significant progress.

After cultivating the true essence of a certain attribute, and then learning the corresponding seals, you can activate specific low-level spells, but they may not be successful.

For example, the fireball technique that Naruto is currently training requires the fire-attributed essence to form five seals in sequence within 10 seconds.

These requirements are not high, he can do it, but his proficiency is not enough, the success rate of activation is very low, and the quality is not high.

He had seen the fireball technique launched by Iruka Umino. He formed a seal in 3 seconds and it was successful every time. The fireball technique was as big as the mouth of a bowl and was very destructive. It could easily burn the training wooden puppet.

The wood used for those wooden puppets was harvested from the top of Konoha Mountain by their handyman disciples. The century-old pine wood is extremely tough. It would take him dozens of axes to cut off pine branches as thick as his wrist.

And such a wooden puppet, Umino Iruka, can be burned with one fireball, which shows its power.

However, the same fireball technique has changed in the hands of Naruto now. It may not be successful even once out of ten times, and even if it is barely successful, it is only about the size of a candle.

Not to mention burning the wooden puppet, it is very difficult to light it on fire.

Fortunately, Naruto now has enough time and inexhaustible real energy. As long as he practices more, it will not be a problem to catch up with Iruka Uno in the fireball technique.

The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth items are also skill training, but they are not seal skills, but physical skills, body skills, unarmed combat, concealed weapons, and weapons.

Just as successful as training in mudra techniques.

Although most of the time practitioners compete in martial arts, these physical skills cannot be ignored.

for example.

If Naruto uses the fireball technique to shoot a fireball at Umino Iruka, Umino Iruka will most likely not use the technique to defend or counterattack.

Because he could dodge by just moving a step to the side, there was no need to waste precious real energy.

True Yuan is really precious.

The three years of true energy that Naruto had obtained through so many years of training could only be used to use dozens of fireball techniques.

.

The efficiency of training together with the shadow clone and the main body is more than ten times higher than that of training alone.

Naruto has made great progress as a result, but he is still not satisfied. He wants to create more shadow clones and train at a speed a hundred times a thousand times.

Ramen dispelled his arrogant idea and told him that with his current strength, 10 shadow clones is already the limit. If there are more, he will return to the original level of creating thousands of shadow clones at once, without any training efficiency at all. .

Ramen also said that if you want to improve, you have to work hard to practice the nameless mental method it teaches.

Naruto rejected the ramen offer without hesitation. He suspected that there was something wrong with Wuming's mental method, which might have the effect of breaking the seal.

He decided to maintain the current level of training with 10 shadow clones for the time being, and wait until his strength improves a bit before considering the nameless mental method.

Now he has an urgent problem that needs to be solved, that is, how to improve the efficiency of cultivating true energy.

There are two ways to solve this problem.

The first is a more advanced mental method.

The Konoha Heart Technique that Naruto is currently practicing is a low-grade Xuan-level Heart Technique, which can increase the efficiency by 4% to 40%. There are also Konoha Heart Techniques with higher grades and higher efficiency, but unfortunately he is not eligible to obtain them now.

The second is the spiritual root bonus.

A single-attribute Heavenly Spirit Root can obtain a 100-fold bonus when practicing mental techniques of the same attribute.

The dual-attribute earth spirit root can obtain a 5% bonus effect when practicing.

True spiritual roots with three or four attributes can obtain a 3% bonus effect.

The five-attribute pseudo-spiritual root can only get a 1% bonus effect.

Naruto's seven-color waste spiritual root has no bonus effect.

Spiritual roots are talents and there is no way to change them.

However, Ramen also said that as long as you possess an acquired spiritual treasure of a certain attribute, you can obtain the same bonus effect as a single-attribute heavenly spiritual root when cultivating the true essence of that attribute.

Coincidentally, Naruto got a piece of news related to the acquired spiritual treasure at this time.
