It took Naruto four hours to finally produce a proper Shadow Clone. Rather, it took him four hours to become a one-boy army. When he finally succeeded, twenty-four clones materialised in an explosion of chakra smoke.

Naruto fell to one knee at that point, noting absently in his exhaustion that his CP was down to zero out of nine-hundred. Jeez, that was exhausting!

[Skill Created!]

As a result of specific repeated actions, the skill [Kage Bunshin no Jutsu] has been created!

[Kage Bunshin no Jutsu] (Instant) [LV1, 00.00]

The Nidaime Hokage's Shadow Clone Jutsu is one of his most widely known jutsu and was originally created for scouting dangerous locations. All clones possess the same physical capabilities as the original, are equipped as the original and can also use any jutsu known to the original.

The downsides to this technique are twofold: First, it is very chakra intensive; meaning only the more powerful High-Chunin and Jonin can make use of this technique. Secondly, it only takes a single solid hit to dispel the clone, making it impractical as a genuine combat technique.

Owing to your exceptionally dense chakra as an Uzumaki, the CP cost of each clone is reduced by 75%.

Initial Cost for each Shadow Clone: 150 CP

Adjusted Cost for each Shadow Clone: 37.5 CP

"I…I did it!" Naruto cheered.

"I'll say!" Iruka muttered in disbelief, "Twenty-four Shadow Clones?!"

Shaking his head, Iruka looked at a rapidly recovering and energetic Naruto with a fond smile.

'Konoha's Number One Show-Off, Number One Unpredictable Noisy Ninja…that title definitely fits you Naruto.' he thought before offering to take Naruto out for Ramen at Ichiraku's to celebrate.

Three guesses what Naruto's reply was?

Early Morning, The Next Day

Naruto's Apartment

Naruto had a look at his stats as he ate his breakfast.

Looking at his stats, Naruto felt a headache coming on. His stats had gone up by quite a bit compared with when he had first looked at them, but his Stamina was still far and above the highest, while his Strength stat had gone up by only seven. Hadn't he meant to do something about that?

"Wait a minute…gah! I knew I was forgetting something!" the blond orphan exclaimed. He ran into his bedroom and frantically searched through his clothes before finally finding what he was looking for…

"…the training weights!" he declared as he found the box he had bought at Higurashi's the first time. He opened up the lid and saw instructions.

"'Thank you for purchasing the *Higurashi Special Training Weights* ©'" Naruto read out loud, " 'In order to use these weights to their full potential, please ensure that you wear all four simultaneously to ensure equal training on all four limbs.' Already knew that…'Once you place the training weights on, make the Rat Handsign, channel chakra into the weights and call out a number from one to five. This sets the weight to predetermined settings for your convenience. Newcomers are recommended to start on Level One and build up to Level Two gradually.' OK, sounds simple…'In order to turn the weights off, make the Rat Handsign once again and say 'Kai'. This will deactivate the weights immediately. Should it not, please bring them to the store for removal and a full refund.'"

Naruto slid one on each of his arms and legs, then made the Rat Handsign. "One!"

He immediately felt like someone had attached lead weights to his arms and legs. Not heavy ones, but very obviously there.

[You have been affected by the Status Effect [Lesser-Weighted Gravity]!]

An idea occurred to him and he opened up his [Status] screen and put the five points from the last level up into STR, making it 23, which helped in lightening the load a bit.

Naruto walked around to try to get a feel for how hard it was to move with the weights on. Surprisingly, it was rather manageable, although he was slowed down somewhat.

"What now?" he mused aloud as he sat back down and finished off his breakfast, a bowl of rice and Miso soup.

The Academy wasn't on for the next couple of days, so what to do?

'Oh! I could train the Jutsu Iruka-sensei taught me yesterday!' he thought brightly, a smirk on his face as he recalled the trip to Ichiraku's that had shone a new light on the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and his [Gamer] power.

-Flashback-

"Eh? A training aid?" Naruto asked in surprise as he and Iruka-sensei were waiting for their ramen to be served.

"Yes." the scarred Chunin nodded, "Originally, the Shadow Clone Jutsu was created for scouting purposes. How do you think the clones tell their creator information if only one hit dispels them?"

"Uhh…really good life insurance?" Naruto joked.

"Nice one, but no." Iruka replied with a grin, "When you create a regular Bunshin, you're just creating an illusion that mimics your shape and appearance. When you create an Elemental Bunshin, like your Iwa Bunshin, you're basically forcing chakra into a physical object and shaping it, again, to become a facsimile of you. Shadow Clones are entirely made of chakra, to the point that they copy your chakra network and brain as well. In addition, there is a link between the clones and the creator, so when a Kage Bunshin 'dies', the creator receives a portion of the chakra used to create the back, as well as an entire copy of the clone's memories from the moment it was created to the moment it was destroyed."

Naruto gaped at Iruka for a moment. None of that was on the information his [Gamer] power had provided for him!
