Naruto: Damned Reincarnation

General POV

The clan Elders, elites, and the patriarch arrived at Onoshi's room. 

Onochi's guard took Onoshi's book and gave it to the previous patriarch, Motomaro. Although Tetsubo is the patriarch of the Dokukuro clna, Motomaro has been the patriarch for decades. Many have pledged their allegiance towards him.

Motomaro took the book from the hands of the guard. As he read, a questioning look began to form on his face. 

"Clone? What is a clone?" He asked

Tetsubo stepped forward and asked, "What is it father?"

Motomaro looked at the book and responded, "It speaks of a clone, but I have no idea what a clone is. It says here that the purpose of this ninjutsu is to create an identical clone to oneself."

"Here," Motomaro tossed the book to his son and looked at his snoring grandson. He began to form hand signs as he followed the instructions of the book, Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake.

*Poof*

Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared right next to Motomaro. Startled, everyone took out a kunai out of their pockets and surrounded the puff of smoke. As the smoke disappeared, a pale skinny Motomaro appeared.

The clone looked exactly like him, with the exception of being pale and skinny.

"Who are you?! Speak!" Yelled one of the elites.

Ninjas in this era have never seen clones, or even heard about clones. Shadow clone was the very first of its kind, created by the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

The ninjas surrounding the clone thought that the clone was a ninja using transformation jutsu.

Motomaro frowned and said, "Pipe down. Did I not just say that the ninjutsu will create some sort of identical body. And besides, my grandson is sleeping, do not wake him up."

Embarrassed, the ninjas eased up and stared at the clone. Motomaro chuckled and said, "Interesting… This 'clone' could be useful, but it isn't really completely identical, and it looks weak."

"Ah father, I think you did it wrong." Said Ayaze

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Ayaze read through the books and said, "It says here you need to divide your chakra equally… And because you're trying to make just one clone, it says here that you should distribute 50% of your chakra to it."

"50%?! That's utterly useless!" Exclaimed one of the elders.

One of the elders nodded and said, "He's right. In a battle of nutrition, using a clone would be utterly useless. And besides, we don't know if the clone would have the same strength as the user."

*Poof*

The clone suddenly disappeared. Motomaru gazed at where the clone stood before and said, "Although you may be right, it can still be useful as a distraction. Furthermore, it can give you an advantage in numbers."

*Poof*

The sudden puff of smoke caught everyone off guard. They looked around and saw that there were two Tetsubo.

Unlike Motomaru's clone, Tetsubo's clone was perfect, with 0 flaws. The clone looked just like him, even his chakra was the same as the original Tetsubo.

"Amazing…"

The others looked at the two Tesubos who looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes.

"How fascinating, I can't control it, I also can't see what he sees or feel what he feels…." Said Tetsubo

One of the elites spoke, "What?! Then won't that be dangerous? What if it does something stupid in an infiltration without you knowing about it?"

Tetsubo was about to speak, until the clone said, "Well of course you can't control me, I'm not a slave! And furthermore, I'm not an it."

Hearing the clone speak, the others were shocked. They have thought that the clones were only used for small infiltration and tricks, nothing else.

The clone grinned and continued speaking, "Also, I should have the same intelligence as him," pointing at the real Tetsubo.

"And how do you know that?" Asked Motomaru

The clone quickly answered, "Because I remember everything he has done, even the part where he read something about having the same intelligence. In the book, it specifies that the clone would have the same intelligence and skills as the original.

"Hahahahaha!" Motomaru laughed, amused at the clone. "Interesting! Really interesting!"

The loud laugh caused the young Onochi to wake up, rubbing his eyes and whipping off his dried up saliva.

Onochi looked around him with still shut eyes. As he noticed everyone around him, he questioned, "Grandpa?"

Motomaru smiled at Onochi and grabbed him by the armpit and raised him high up, "Magnificent grandson! You truly are a genius!"

Startled, Onochi asked, "W-What? What are you talking about?"

Onochi looked around once more, with now cleared eyes and spotted a book in the hands of his mother. 

'Ah, so that's it. They found out what I have been doing… Must've been my guard… Oh well.' Though Onochi

Ayaze, noticing her son's gaze, smiled and asked, "Onochi, how did you create this?"

Onochi shrugged and answered, "I don't know, imagination? I just wanted to make something while I was bored, and I thought that the Shadow Clone would be useful."

"Shadow clone? Is that the name of the ninjutsu?" Asked Ayaze

"Yes, it is. Although I don't know if it will work, I haven't tried it as I have yet to learn how to use or sense my own chakra."

However, as he said that, he noticed that there were two Tetsumo besides his mother. Onochi blinked twice and happily exclaimed, "It worked?!"

Onochi quickly got down from his grandpa's arm and ran towards the clone.

"Fascinating!"

As the young master of the Dokukuro clan asked questions and examined the clone, the crowd of ninjas stared at each other and nodded.
