It was starting to make sense why the jutsu was kept under lock and key for only those with the Kage's approval to go about learning. Even then, it was still labeled a kinjutsu, without the proper training and experience to wield it correctly the shadow clone technique was likely to get someone killed from exhaustion and/or a lack of chakra that was in that moment, in the hands of a clone. He wouldn't over look these findings and opinions and he found himself a bit swayed on the subject of the shadow clone jutsu.

While it was still true it was useful and a technique he still coveted, it was not as one-sidedly useful as he thought it had been. It was a marvel it and of itself and he would make good use of it but he wouldn't ever forget that it was a technique to be used tactically and with respect. Because no matter how strong he was, calling in to a single clone to help in battle would cut his power in half until that clone's chakra was returned to him.

Coming to a stand and rolling the scroll up he would apply a new adhesive seal and hand it back to Slade. All the pieces fit together so there was no need to hold onto it. He now knew he everything he needed to in order to complete his kage bunshin training. Bringing his hands to torso level in front of him he let his mind linger on all the details that had come and gone since the first time he'd heard rumors of what he now knew to be Kage Bunshin.

The scroll had revealed to him what was truth and what was rumor. Now, he was going to put the latter to bed with his own proficient casting of the technique. "...ram, ox, monkey, boar, dog, rat, ox..." His fingers fired through the seals without a hitch and the optimum moment to utilizing his chakra for the technique hit him.

The part which was nothing more than 'spending' a high amount of chakra to birth the clone was the part he'd been practicing the whole time and as such he aced it. Before the moment passed however, he would need to go forward with the second part of utilizing his chakra. This part was the one in which he would split his entire remaining reserve down the middle, which would go to the clone the previous smaller amount of chakra was consumed in order to create.

There was a dip in his chakra reserves so severe it made him dizzy and lightheaded and he almost puked on the ground in front of him. He managed to hold it in and reasoned that it was the feeling of spending such an incredible amount of jutsu on a single technique though in this case it would be returned to him on demand. With the smoke clearing in front of him there was an audible 'poof' as he saw shoes identical to his own dig into the ground.

He looked dead into the smoke covered face of the clone a little anxious on the result and whether he had completed the training or not. The mouth of the clone was the first thing he saw and as the breeze took the smoke away a sly grin as revealed and in his head he could hear the approval of the shadow clone in his head. Good work Tokomaru, I knew I'd get it eventually. The clones hands slipped into his pockets and the original Sen was in awe. It didn't look any more like him than his youton clones did the major difference was that it seemed to think on it's own.

While the elemental clones took direction from him the shadow clone had a mind all it's own; Sen's. It was like a watching a recording of himself on a night where he'd blacked out. He paused for a moment before dispersing the clone and turning to thank Slade once more for the access. Sadly he would have to pass on the spar with the way things were going that would've taken all day and he had other matters to attend to. With any lucky he would catch up to the Yondaime-elect later and retake him up on the offer.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / Kinjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: High
Special: When first learned, a single Shadow Clone can be produced. Each time re-learned, one additional clone can be made, for a maximum of 5. Please remember that regardless of the amount of clones made, the chakra is still divided evenly amongst all bodies. However, when a clone is defeated or chooses to disappear, whatever remaining chakra within their bodies, as well as their knowledge, returns to the user. The only exception is 'Bunshin Bakuha', which sacrifices the chakra return for a grand explosion.
Description: Kage Bunshin is an advanced, forbidden Ninjutsu technique, which grants the user the ability to create a tangible clone. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. However, Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance, to the point the clone can utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows, and spawns with any equipment the user has one them at the time of the summoning. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones.
Domain: Kage Bunshin.

Time passed, as he trained and watched the other young man train. But, as he left, and Slade was left to finish his training himself, he'd find a mob coming hi way. Until he was surrounded, confused until the people's screams and yells became clear to his ears, he'd sigh. His people had rejected him, he wasn't the one they saw to lead them to their Golden Age. Rubbing his face he attempted to get them to understand...But, they were ignorant, but they were his people. He couldn't force them to follow him, if they wanted a new leader...They could have one. With the two scrolls back in tow, he'd return them to the vault, before leaving to his own home. His people had rejected the Golden Age...At least under his rule, but he'd be sure to aide them in anyway possible.
