"Pfft!" Tsunade felt like an arrow had struck her heart.
"The Lady Hokage is awake? Great!"
Naruto, who had been struggling on his own in the yard, jumped up joyfully.
He had so many questions to ask Tsunade.
God just take me now.
Hearing Naruto’s delighted shout and his approaching footsteps, Tsunade felt like finding a rope and hanging herself.
Kazuki, you bastard! I’ve run this far away, and you still send a kid to torment me!
When I get back, you’re in for it!!
"Granny Tsunade!!"
"Shut up! Call me ’Granny’ again, and I’ll knock your teeth out."
"....."
The Lady Hokage looks really angry. Maybe I should just train by myself.
Watching the furious Tsunade, Naruto swallowed nervously.
Never mess with an angry woman. Naruto had learned Tsunade’s ferocity firsthand.
He was afraid the enraged Tsunade would really hurt him.
"Kid, where do you think you’re going?"
It was too late for Naruto to run. Tsunade grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. Watching him squirm like a monkey, Tsunade grinned.
"Since you’re so eager to train, I’ll reluctantly help you out."
"....."
What if I don’t want to train now?
The Lady is terrifying.
But it was too late.
Tsunade was furious. She needed something to do to vent her anger.
So Naruto was the direct victim.
Tsunade hadn’t studied the Rasengan in depth, but she understood the principle well enough. Teaching Naruto wasn’t a problem.
There’s a saying: never provoke a woman – especially one who’s angry and strong. Naruto suffered terribly in the ensuing training.
Tsunade put him through hell.
At times like this, Naruto deeply missed the days he spent with Jiraiya.
Jiraiya would never put him through such torment.
Fortunately, though Tsunade looked angry, she didn’t actually harm Naruto. He received all the proper instruction, even more meticulous than from Jiraiya.
In the short term, Tsunade was perfectly qualified as a teacher – just not for too long.
If it dragged on, she’d go on strike.
"Damn it! This is too hard!"
Naruto watched the chakra disperse in his hand and slammed the ground in frustration.
Always just a little short. Just that little bit. Always fail right there.
Without the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, due to his age, and without anyone pushing him, Naruto’s progress learning the Rasengan lagged far behind the original story.
In the original, Naruto had mastered it in less than two months.
The Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu was the biggest reason for that speed.
Now, Naruto was still young and hadn’t learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, so his progress was constantly delayed.
Should I really teach that jutsu to a child?
Tsunade hesitated.
After all, the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu was a forbidden technique.
If not controlled properly, it could easily drain the user dry.
In his letter to Shizune, Kazuki had specifically instructed them to teach Naruto the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu. But Tsunade was afraid to do it recklessly. She was still hesitant.
Moreover, Naruto’s demonstrated ninjutsu talent was painfully poor. Tsunade seriously doubted whether he could learn it at all.
Give Naruto a simple C-rank jutsu, and he’d scratch his head over it. The Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu...
That’s way too big a leap.
But the question remained.
Why must Naruto learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu?
What was Kazuki’s intention?
Tsunade didn’t know that Naruto with the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and Naruto without it were two completely different beings.
It could be said that the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu accompanied Naruto throughout his growth.
Without it, Naruto wouldn’t have grown nearly as fast.
’Fine. Since it’s Kazuki’s request, I’ll teach him.’
Unable to make up her own mind, Tsunade decided to stop worrying and simply follow Kazuki’s arrangement.
"Kid, considering how hard you’ve been working, I’ll teach you a powerful jutsu. Want to learn?"
"A powerful jutsu?"
The exhausted Naruto perked up at this. He sat up from the ground and shouted joyfully.
"Of course I want to learn! Granny Tsunade – I mean, Lady Hokage! Please teach me!"
Noticing Tsunade’s expression change at "Granny Tsunade," Naruto quickly corrected himself.
He even used the respectful tone.
That’s more like it.
What "Granny Tsunade"? Am I that old?
Age is a woman’s biggest taboo!!
I’m eighteen forever!
Naruto’s attitude satisfied Tsunade’s vanity. Her expression gradually softened.
"Listen carefully, kid. If Kazuki hadn’t specifically instructed it, I wouldn’t teach you this jutsu. Because the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu is a forbidden technique of the village. The barrier to learning it is high, and it’s dangerous."
"What danger?"
Lord Advisor really does care about me.
Hearing that Kazuki had specifically instructed Tsunade to teach him, Naruto was overjoyed.
As for the so-called danger, he didn’t care at all.
Wouldn’t a powerful jutsu be dangerous?
Uzumaki Naruto was least afraid of danger.
"If you’re not careful, it can drain all your chakra and stamina."
Tsunade flicked Naruto’s forehead and warned him.
"Regardless of whether you can learn it, I’m telling you this jutsu is dangerous. It can easily drain you, which is why it’s classified as a forbidden technique. Even many who learn it don’t dare use it casually."
"Drain? What does that mean?"
Naruto instinctively scratched his head.
"...."
Damn it. I want to kill you, you little brat. Are you messing with me?
You can’t understand such straightforward words?
"Heh heh..."
Naruto scratched his head sheepishly. He really didn’t understand what "drain" meant.
In the original story, Naruto was often mocked by Sasuke for his lack of knowledge and poor comprehension.
When it came to book learning, Naruto was truly hopeless.
At over ten years old, his comprehension was worse than a toddler’s.
"It means using this jutsu will drain all your chakra and stamina. If you’re lucky, you’ll be weak for a while. If it’s serious, you could die. Do you understand now?"
Tsunade grabbed Naruto’s ear and shouted.
"Ow! Ow! That hurts!!!"
Naruto quickly stood on tiptoes and shouted back.
"I get it! I understand! Lady Hokage, please let go!"
"Really... you’re driving me crazy..."
Tsunade sighed, looking defeated.
Minato was so smart. Kushina wasn’t bad either. How did they their kid turns out like this?
