9 KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU

Alright everyone quick discussion based on multiverse and such.

For harem, I think what I'm going to do is still have him act like all these characters but I'll probably just not allow them to pick up girls. I think this will just be a lot easier.

For multiverse, I'm still thinking of how I wish to implement it. Here are some options and you can just vote which one sounds better.

One thing I could do is have it where it's like beat one world goes to the next change character appearance and leave harem behind with the message that he will collect them all when he's stronger. That would be the cliche way to go and it's probably the easiest for me to write.

The next would be a bit further in with the main start of his faction he would send some of these soul clones to another dimension such as naruto and I would jump back forth through these different dimensions. I just feel like there would be a lot of cliffhangers and idk how I feel about it.

If you have an idea different from those two post it here.

Anyway, thank you guys for reading I really appreciate all the comments you guys have been leaving. I try to interact with all you guys because that's why I write anyways enjoy.

******************************

After leaving Jasmine and the brink due to his food Shuji left towards his cave to meditate on some recent problems. Shuji is currently trying to come up with a way to increase his training. One way he came up with was shadow clones but there remained two problems with this solution. One is that there is no way it's as simple as Naruto made it. There must be some sort of drawback either mental or spiritual. The second is that while clones can practice skills such as HoHo and Zanjutsu, it won't really help with haki which needs to be used with his real body. The best way to strengthen haki is through rigorous physical training and training the senses. "I suppose HoHo and Zanjutsu are enough to be useful. I'll just focus completely on haki then." Shuji thought to himself.

"System can I use Shadow clones for training?"

[Ding! Host can use shadow clones for training but is currently limited to two shadow clones. Shadow clones can only be used with the host's mental strength and not Profound Qi so you will also feel pain mentally. This is not without benefits though host! It will be good in the long run because it can help to strengthen your mental fortitude, multitasking, and also strengthen your soul with long-term use!]

Shuji was sold at this moment. He was ready to use them as long as there were no major drawbacks but it seems to all be pluses. The only thing he would feel is some slight mental pain due to the feedback which is also why he's limited to two clones. Besides that, it would help with my mental strength, multitasking, and soul in the long-term?! With 2 shadow clones that would also triple his normal training. He would now 3x the training results. Shuji felt a bubbling excitement within him. After these few months of training hard, he really has come to enjoy training to become stronger. Learning these skills and coming to who is own strength. He can already imagine himself in the future fighting strong opponents so that he can go beyond his limits. This is what he was looking for! I mean, what otaku doesn't dream of this?!

"System purchase shadow clones!" he said.

[Ding! Purchasing shadow clones for 250 CP.]

[Ding! Purchase confirmed! Imprinting the skill in the host's mind.]

After a second Shuji understood the skill perfectly. All he had to do was use his mental energy and perform the hand sign. He takes a second to compose himself, makes a cross with his fingers, and…

"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" *POUF* *POUF*

Two identical imitations of Itachi appear before him. He immediately felt mental tension. It felt like his brain was split into three parts and he had to focus quite hard to keep it up. Seeing as time waits for no one he started ordering the clones around.

"I want one of you to practice HoHo while the other practices Zanjutsu," he said. Both clones saluted and began working on their given assignments. Shuji thinks about his recent training and what he should do to continue with it. Recently his body has made great leaps and is probably around the strength of an Earth Profound cultivator.

"Hmm… Maybe I should stop training haki and look at some of my more advanced skills. I can either focus on Hado and Bakudo or a nen ability like Dragon Dive and Cursed Chains." he thought to himself. "I think I should focus on Cursed Chains for now due to its incredible versatility. With Chain Jail, I can constrict them and shut off their Profound Qi as long as we are close to the same strength. There's also the Holy Chain and Dowsing Chain which allows me to heal myself and also have a portable lie detector/locator. Lastly, there is the most badass out of them which is the Judgment Chain." he thought to himself and started training. His clones were going through the katas which left his mind slightly exhausted. He was also working hard on his Cursed Chains practicing each ability. After a while, he decided to bathe before heading into the Sky Poison Pearl.

************************************

Shuji entered the Sky Poison Pearl where he saw Jasmine sleeping. He went to wake her up because he was going to make dinner. He gently tried to wake her up when…

"Kyaaaa!" she shouted with saliva still leaking out of her mouth. Seeing who it was, she was really embarrassed and blushed. At this moment Shuji stopped for a second seeing the creature in front of him. He had never seen someone quite as cute as this and wanted to pamper her like a cute little sister. "Stop… Come back to yourself Shuji, this isn't you." he thought to himself. He looked towards her once again this time with extreme wariness in his eyes. "So this is the power of Kawaii… what a scary opponent," he thought with fear. Meanwhile, Jasmine was blinking stupidly not understanding why this guy in front of her was suddenly looking at her as if she was his greatest opponent. He looked as if he was prepared to sacrifice himself at that moment to destroy her. Suddenly he stood up and went towards the kitchen.

"I'll make us some dinner," he said simply. This caused Jasmine to become even more confused but she was also excited to eat his food once again!

***************************************

After dinner, Shuji went to meditate for the night. Of course, Jasmine enjoyed her dinner as well. He was currently sitting cross-legged thinking of what to do in the future. He didn't know what he was going to do right this second but he was sure it would come to him. After all, he is the most handsome and wisest reincarnator there ever was. After a bit of thinking, he thought back on his training which was going great.

He would soon be able to use all of the chains and his haki was going great. His clones were still working on HoHo and Zanjutsu and the best part was he was getting feedback from these clones without dispelling them. This was due to them using the mental energy he had but it also made his head hurt quite a bit. Luckily he took those mental enhancement pills when he first arrived or his brain might have exploded. After thinking a bit more he suddenly remembered there was a large number of purple-veined crystals in Floating Cloud City!

This was information he hadn't thought about till now due to Jasmine needing her body. This was one of the items required and it was close. "Perhaps I'll take a quick break and go to Floating Cloud City tomorrow to dig them up. I'll leave the clones here to keep training though," he thought to himself. It wouldn't take long due to him leaving a Hiraishin mark right around Floating Cloud City. He could do it now but he was pretty tired right now. "Tomorrow I'll take a break and head to Float Cloud City.'' he thought as he whisked away into sleep.
