Thread: Multiple Man/Why hasn't Naruto thought of this yet?!

James Madrox, Mutant of the Marvel universe. Seemingly powerless, but in essense he has one of the freaking coolest mutant powers of all: whenever he is struck by any object, or "strikes" himself (stomps his foot, snaps his fingers) he is able to create clones of himself (notice the parallel to Naruto here...). Now the interesting thing is that James has created a lot of clones in his past, and at one point he found a clone that he made almost 5 years ago that had been leading an independant life from his, the clone was unaware that he even was a clone, but Madrox absorbed him back into his body (dispelled the clone) and instantly all of the clone's memories, experiences, and skills became his. This lead to an interesting development in his character, because he has sent multiple dupes over to do various things, and has aquired a vast wealth of knowledge and skills. From wikipedia: "Specific special skills accumulated through his vast experience include picking locks, some proficiency in Shaolin kung fu, handgun training, multiple languages including Russian and Hawaiian, and playing-card throwing. Along the way, he and/or his duplicates participated in an Olympics gymnastics team and apparently became a licensed attorney."

Now I know that half of those things Naruto is unable to do because, hell, they don't exist in that world, but why hasn't Naruto thought of this yet? It seems that the clones work under the same rules as Madrox's, except if they recieve a hard impact that, unless Naruto concentrates, they will dispel. What if Naruto did this, for, I don't know, about 3 months. Imagine what you could accomplish and learn in three months, now multiply that by 5-10, now pretend that you are a ninja...wow, that's a lot of stuff you could master, huh? This is why I feel that Kage Bunshin is by far one of the most under-rated techniques, but Naruto just isn't using it correctly...

If I'm not mistakened, the bunshins, especialy the Kage Bunshins, require a constant amount of chakra. And as was stated by Kakashi, way back when Zabuza was still around, when the bunshin leaves a certain range from the creator the creator loses control and I beleive the clone disipates. I'm not sure if Kage Bunshins are that different.
For this to happen, a new type of bunshin may be neccasary.

Aside: James was pretty cool. Pity we don't really see him all that much anymore.

Same the constant chakra thing +range , nice idea but not gonna happen

Even if thier in range of each other
say 10 narutos in a library reading a different book each
i think that the clones work as a hive mind and i also think that all the information instantly is sent back to naruto, so if theres 10 of him reading 10 different books itd be the same as 10 teachers tryin to teach you 10 different subjects at once, youd study alot and learn nothing

the only person i see being able to do this is Yamato, his wood clone seems to be able to work indepently from himself(and rangeless or huge range), and hes able to communicate with it using a seal or food pill or whatever that was he gave to naruto and sakura

edit - lol jutsu lawyer

Yea they all have the same concious so anything that happens they all know it at the same time.


Well since this thread is for a weird/stupid theory I'll ask a question myself, why hasnt naruto ever used soldier pills? I know he can get a boost from the kyuubi if he needed it but why not eat a few soldier pills before he fights with someone? Its only logical to try o find a way to some sort of an advantage, so why not?

well nice idea.

but naruto= not clever/ idiot. having 100s of idiots doesnt really make a difference.

besides i think the clones each have a different mind- there's few episodes showing the 'real' naruto giving orders to his clones .

is it jus me or will it do nothing
if i recall soldier pills restore your energy, but naruto is constantly energy maxed cuz of kyuubi

lol naruto should do what chouji does, eat like a lunatic then eat the green and yellow pills

lol @betatester, its cuz naruto is soo dumb his clones havent figured out that theres a hive mind, naruto even beat up his clones in the 1st part(edit- and got beat up by them) because he thought one of them was kakashi, lol either theres no hive mind or anything they learn would jus disappear when the clones did

i really thought this was gonna be a stupid thread but i guess i was wrong. i think in the FUTURE this may be a techiniquw Naruto could use, when hes older and has better control of Kyuubis chakra he theoretically could use it to power clones all over the Fire Country and keep them out there for periods of time to learn things. to concentrate that hard the real naruto would probably spend every waking moment controlling them but with experience he prolly could have several dozen of them all over the world learning things. as long as hes paying attention and one of them doesnt get knocked the fuck out i dont see why this couldnt work

Multiple man is the shit. Billy Numerous is funnier tho.

No soldier pills give you more strength, and all that jazz.

If you remember kiba and his dog take soldier pills, remember his dog turns red and kiba turns more feral.

It's odd. I get conflicting images whenever I see Naruto use this. At times, it appears as if each clone has it's own persona and sentience while at others it appears as if they don't. This worries me a bit since if each were to have it's own sentience, wouldn't that mean that Naruto is really smart?
