Kiyoshi can currently support up to twelve puppet clones.

He found that only his main body could enjoy the buffs of the Trait panel.

It's not that he can't separate too many, but the fatigue after the release will affect Kiyoshi's main body.

This is also an important reason why the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is listed as a forbidden technique. The side effects after the release can even kill the caster on the spot.

The side effects caused by the Shadow Clone Technique are not much different from the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, depending on the individual's tolerance.

"It still needs to be optimized."

Kiyoshi gave an order to one of the puppet clones, specifically asking him to be responsible for researching and optimizing the "Kiyoshi Secret Technique: Puppet Clone".

Watching the puppet clones start to do their jobs and conduct research, Kiyoshi turned and left.

In this way, the several Chunin blue traits he has can be turned into purple traits as soon as possible.

The research on Moryo's power can also be accelerated.

The experimental base is already on the right track!

"Kiyoshi is gone again."

Looking at Kiyoshi, whose figure disappeared without a trace again, Yukari subconsciously stretched out her hand.

She has always been the only one here. If possible, she wanted Kiyoshi to talk to her.

Unfortunately, apart from these puppet clones, there is nothing.

Looking at the puppet clones with only numbers on their faces and limbs like stiff wooden blocks, Yukari felt terrified.

She returned to the room, picked up an iron shovel and a pot, intending to dig some good soil to plant vegetables.

...

Kusagakure.

"Muku, why did your father let you come back?" Ryūzetsu looked at Muku curiously.

Muku wore a ninja forehead protector marked with Kusagakure on his forehead, and a green scarf around his neck, looking very youthful.

"Hōzuki Castle is too boring." Muku waved his hand.

His father, Mui, is known as the lord of Hōzuki Castle, but he is actually just a prison warden. The so-called city is a prison, holding all kinds of criminals.

"I heard there are strange movements near the border with the Land of Waterfall sometimes?"

He turned his head, looking at the white-haired girl.

The girl's skin had a healthy wheat color, which, set off by her white hair, gave her a sense of exotic beauty.

Her pupils were different from ordinary people's black pupils. Hers were light blue, with several circles of ripples, and only beyond the ripples was the white of her eyes.

"That's right." Ryūzetsu nodded.

She was an Anbu from Kusagakure, and had received a mission these days to go and investigate there.

"Then I'll go with you." Muku immediately said.

He was a genius that Kusagakure hadn't seen in a hundred years. He learned any ninjutsu very quickly.

Ryūzetsu couldn't master the Fire Release: Demon Lantern Technique but he could do it with ease.

According to his father, he had the aptitude to open the "Box of Ultimate Bliss".

It was just that his mother died when she gave birth to him, and his father, out of guilt, cherished him very much. Therefore, he rarely went out to perform tasks.

Now that Ryūzetsu was going to perform a mission, how could he not accompany her?

"As… as you wish."

Ryūzetsu's face was a little red, and she walked forward alone.

Muku chuckled and quickly followed.

…

Crack!

Inside the silent house.

Kiyoshi was practicing Lightning Release ninjutsu, guiding these currents to constantly stimulate and tear his body.

Then, through Dark Medical Ninjutsu", he drove Mōryō's power to repair it, so that the two reached a delicate balance.

At the same time, there was also a gentle special chakra that was constantly increasing the upper limit of his body.

That was pupil power.

The cyan current was stained with a layer of purple-black, shining through Kiyoshi's skin and illuminating the room.

Seated in the middle, Kiyoshi was like a Lightning Man, constantly making rumbling noises.

These noises were enveloped by the barrier set up by Kiyoshi.

Otherwise, the Uchiha clansmen around would probably complain to Kiyoshi and ask him to practice ninjutsu at the training ground.

"Huff…"

Kiyoshi exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The lightning gradually dissipated, revealing a body that had been tempered and hammered, with solid muscles, burly and powerful.

That body was as white as moonlight, with sharp edges and corners.

At first, Kiyoshi wasn't so pale. Later, after he continued to practice, his skin began to peel.

The skin after peeling lost its calluses and was as smooth as a baby.

"Sure enough, from the inside out is the correct way to exercise." Kiyoshi thought to himself.

The Hyūga clan's Gentle Fist focuses on chakra points and defense, while other hard styles such as Konoha-style Taijutsu only focus on the power of moves.

Eight Inner Gates temporarily elevates the body to a certain limit. Usually, training is to allow oneself to withstand the burden of that limit. It doesn't really make oneself stronger.

Only by exercising every cell like him, constantly exercising to the limit, and then using the power of the Kekkei genkai to raise the limit, such a continuous positive cycle makes Kiyoshi's body constantly grow.

And it's permanent and constant.

"I guess Orochimaru is back too." Kiyoshi calculated the time.

Today was the day Orochimaru returned from his mission.

So Kiyoshi got up and walked towards the laboratory that Orochimaru often went to.

…

"Heh heh, Kiyoshi-kun is really well-informed."

Orochimaru put down the test tube in his hand and looked at Kiyoshi who walked in from the door.

He had only been back to the village for three hours, and Kiyoshi had come to his door.

"Orochimaru-sama's reputation is well-known, and wherever you go, you are the focus of everyone's attention. Anyone can find out about such things with a little inquiry." Kiyoshi smiled slightly.

"Hehe, Orochimaru-sensei said he would teach me the Cursed Seal."

Besides Orochimaru, Anko was also standing in the room.

She crossed her arms, holding her almost non-existent curves, with a proud look on her face.

As if to say to Kiyoshi, hurry up and kneel down to me and share my glory.

"Cursed Seal, huh."

Kiyoshi looked at Anko's smug look and didn't say anything.

Not every ninja can master the power of the Cursed Seal, which is often accompanied by a pain.

Moreover, the technology of the Cursed Seal must be constantly improved.

The current Cursed Seal doesn't even have the first and second stages. The Cursed Seal that Anko has is just a semi-finished "Heavenly Cursed Seal".
