Reincarnated As Tony Stark With A Skill

Chapter 25 - Shadow Clones (Info Chap)

AN: So I need a way to get Tony to have massive amounts of chakra later on.

He doesn't have a Bijuu to supply his body so I need a way to enable him to build up more than from just natural growth. Otherwise, the best capacity he can have would be Kakashi's or 3rd Hokage level since he has no chakra bloodline lineage or samehada for extra growth.

No borrowing energy from another dimension though since it comes with something always.

Try to guess if you're interested

-----

Tony kept the letter he just received in his secure storage "box" where he also stores all his advanced tech. He did not need it when he went there but the letter is also like a present for his birthday.

-----

Tony checked out his chakra flow. No obvious change is felt. That was expected since his body did not have a significant change that day.

He tried building up his chakra naturally but US just isn't that good of an environment. He could barely collect faster than his natural restoration's speed. The best he could do to recover it is by eating food and to supplement some of the energy to chakra.

He also can't sense Nature Chakra but he already expected that considering the environment around his house is mostly artificial. This does not even factor into account that first time sensing nature chakra was the hardest step before balancing the thing it with your own chakra.

-----

Tony knew early on that he had a limiter. He could never produce too much clones. He felt tired when he produced the maximum number of clones. He tried creating one more after reaching his limit but he just can't create another clone successfully.

This limiter also applied on other things. He remembered how his chakra only grew in relation with his body's growth. The limits of his main body's chakra is from 100% to 30%. His repeated usage lowered the minimum from 33% but that was it.

He doesn't know why he had this restrictions but guessed it had to do with the shadow clone technique.

Shadow Clone was a restricted technique for a reason. Ordinary ninjas are not able to make them due to the drastic change in chakra levels of the user. Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was worse and was forbidden due to the number of clones produced.

If not all trained people could execute the technique . An untrained child using the technique would have been killed by it.

AN: Clone Type definitions so far. Basically a guide

Chakra clones types

1. Basic

- Separate chakra pool from main body. No flow either way without dispersing first

- Can build up chakra but too slow for self sustainance.

- (time limited)

- can be refilled a bit by dispersing another clone but not efficient at all.

- basic memories(picture/video type info only) after dispersion

2. Regular/Proper(Manga version)

- evenly shared chakra w/ other proper clones and main body (no time restriction)

- any chakra refilled to main body is spread to other regular clones

- complete experience of the clone transferred after dispersion

AN: There may be more later but variant of these 2 probably

-----

Tony tested things out by first created one proper clone to check any difference

He did not want to try making 3 proper clones then suddenly pass out. Or worse, die.

Things were still the same, he felt the same amount of drain so he continued to the 2nd.

Still no difference.

Tony decided to use the least amount of chakra creating basic clones next. This was different from testing the Mark II suit in the future where you go to max immediately.

Sure sometimes you have to run before you can walk. But he can't run if he can't even see the road.

So Tony did things by dispersing the previous clone and creating another with a just a bit more chakra.

He created another clone and got to the 30% level. He then ate some food to make sure his chakra could be replenished faster.

Finally, he made another basic clone. He suddenly felt exhausted like he had just trained with T'Chaka for hours until he collapsed. The difference is that his physical body is not strained.

Though he fell to the floor, he still could maintain consciousness. He immediately dispersed the latest clone and got rid of most of the exhaustion. The other clones were trying to build up more chakra. Though not much, it still helped restoring his chakra to full faster.

It also helped by reducing the amount of food the real body ate. Though most gets processed out, the feeling of continuously eating food is still not good. Especially since he ate the military MRE's. They were the most concentrated source of energy that he had right now.

Tony finally concluded that the limiter was gone. He could now overproduce clones at his own risk.

-----

He dispersed the 2 proper clones he and waited a bit until he had his chakra back to full. He was now looking at the last basic clone. He knew that creating a clone like this was impossible by himself. He doesn't have the enough experience to modify the original Shadow Clone technique this much.

Even the a.d.u.l.t Naruto has all his clones still sharing the same chakra pool. This basic clone that had an isolated chakra pool would have been a result of that gift from that god so he just decided to take advantage of it.

He waited a bit more until the basic clone had an approximately 2% of his total chakra right now. If the limiter also affected to the other limit of his chakra. Then he his body should be able to accept some more chakra now.

He already experimented on this before. There were times when the Tony had recovered his chakra to full but never noticed an increase when any basic clone was dispersed. This was weird since chakra is supposed to return to spread to the other clones or back to the main body when a clone disappears. This however was just wasting chakra.

This was why Tony never produced more clones than necessary. The rest of the chakra would be wasted when the clones disappeared. He did not want to exert more effort since it was wasted later.

Tony prepared and dispersed the clone. Tony felt no immediate things. He suddenly felt so bloated and wanted to puke. Luckily, his body already processed the high energy food.

Tony then checked his body. His dantian felt like it was streched out a bit. Just a bit over capacity but not enough to cause any damage. He did not do anything else that night and rested.

The next day, he checked his dantian and found out that it grew a bit. It increased by 1% but it grew. The rest of the extra energy was gone but Tony felt just a little bit fatter.

Explanation(Sort of?)

Slow chakra recovery so need multiple clones to collect chakra faster

1st step

create 2 Clones

1/3 of full chakra each proper clone

still total of 100%

2nd

create one last basic clone

3rd

try to restore shared chakra each back to their full (1/3)

4th
