Obaa-Chan VS. Uselessness

Work it!

After finishing our lunch at Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto and I headed to the library to do some research. I needed to learn Kenjutsu and then how I could use Breathing Styles.

I highly doubt that something like Breathing Styles exists here.

Naruto the manga was way older than Demon Slayer and was already completed when Demon Slayer started.

Naruto, on the other hand, had no idea what he should do concretely and would follow my lead.

I decided Naruto needed to improve his chakra control. Secretly I would try to find something about the Kagebushin memory transfer, if I told him straight up, even Naruto would wonder from where I knew it.

As we were searching for books, I noticed a familiar figure sitting in the corner of the library.

It was Shikamaru, one of my old classmates who was known for his intelligence and laziness.

And also was the son of the Jonin Commander of Konoha...mmh maybe...?

I walked over to him and greeted him warmly. "Hey Shikamaru, what are you doing here?"

He looked up at me and gave me a lazy smile. "Just killing time, Sakura. What brings you here?"

"I'm doing some research with Naruto," I replied. "What about you?"

"Nothing much," he shrugged. "Just reading up on some strategies for shogi."

"Say maybe you can help us with something."

"Mmh, sure?"

"Your dad is the Jonin Commander, right?"

He gave me a short nod.

"I heard from my parents that Kagebushin No Justu has some special abilities.", I lied smoothly. "Sadly they couldn't remember what, maybe you know...?"

"I just know that you can inherit the memories of the Kagebushin once it was dispelled. Does this help?"

"A lot, thank you!"

I nodded goodbye and went back to Naruto and our search for books.

After finding a few that could help us with our training, Naruto and I left the library and headed to a free training ground.

"Okay, Naruto, I learned something interesting about Kagebushin. Can you make a clone?"

"Sure, Sakura, what did you learn?", he asked excitedly.

I gave him a secretive smile.

"It's better when I show you."

So Naruto got ahead and made his clone.

Or clones should I say?

Not one, like I requested, but three.

"Hehe, ups."

The blond grinned sheepishly, rubbing his neck.

"Indeed, we need to work on your chakra control...okay you clone come with me."

Clone One, as I decided to call him, followed me a bit away from Naruto and Clone Two and Three.

Then I whispered something in Clone One's ear which would greatly offend him.

Before he could lecture me, I hit him with a kunai dispelling him.

At the exact same moment, Naruto and his other clones got the memory and started shouting.

"How could I member of my team say something so horrible!"

"Sakura you eat with me two times at Ichiraku, how can you say Ramen is the worst!"
