“Not that fast. This isn’t my first time training this Jutsu.”

Kei nodded to her advice, as did his clone, and both re-took their stance, a wide stance, while reforming the clone handseal. Both versions of the Uchiha closed their eyes and began to control their breathing, exhaling and inhaling at exact intervals, keeping a perfect and steady rhythm as their chests rose and fell.

He began to imagine himself, his perfect reflection, and birthing said figment of the mind into an actual being that was a vessel to his charka capable of mimicking everything he could do, a shadow clone. Both he, Kei, and his clone then dispersed 50% of their chakra into two additional shadow clones, each of the 3 clones having 25% of the original Kei’s chakra. Which also meant that Kei himself only had 25% chakra left. And it didn’t spell well for the Uchiha who began to sweat heavily and dropped to a knee. Expending so much chakra in such short time left him more weary than he’d be comfortable with showing, but he couldn’t help it anymore, his body couldn’t take the strain yet. While shaking, he fell to a knee, his face visibly showing how much he was struggling as he kept up the Clone hand-seal to continue to focus on all three the clones. But one by one they poofed in a small cloud of smoke and Kei dropped onto his second knee, heavily panting as he felt like punching the ground, which was out of character for him. Even though he knew how the technique worked now, he yet had to learn how to better distribute his chakra, and he also had to build up more stamina in order to use several clones effectively. It actually… felt good to the boy, knowing he had yet another challenge to overcome. And for a moment, it almost seemed like his own shadow grew out into that of a great warrior, as if symbolizing the man he might become, before Kei passed out on the ground.
