Chapter 188 Sass bullied me
As the sun sets, many parents begin picking up their children to go home.
Naruto dragged his heavy steps back, his golden hair hanging down, and his face still bearing traces of wet tears.
The scene of Sasuke easily defeating me with his Sharingan that afternoon played repeatedly in my mind like a movie.
Sasuke Uchiha's smug smile, the whispers of the children around him, and the disheveled state of his own body as he fell to the ground all made him feel wronged and resentful.
As soon as Naruto entered the living room, he saw Minato Namikaze sitting on the sofa reading a book, his white Hokage robe draped over a clothes rack.
He couldn't hold back any longer, threw himself into Minato's arms, and burst into tears: "Daddy! Sasuke bullied me! He activated his Sharingan and defeated me in an instant! Teach me powerful ninjutsu, I want to defeat him!"
Minato Namikaze put down his pen, gently patted Naruto's back, and soothed him in a tender tone, "Naruto, be good, don't cry. Sasuke's Sharingan is the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit. You're still young, your body hasn't fully developed yet. Learning too powerful ninjutsu could easily cause injury. What if you accidentally hurt other children?"
Naruto looked up, his face streaked with tears, his eyes red: "But I can't beat Sasuke, and he even laughed at me! I don't care, I want to learn powerful ninjutsu! Dad, will you teach me the Flying Thunder God Technique? It's so fast, I'm sure I can defeat Sasuke!"
Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly and patted Naruto's head: "The Flying Thunder God Technique requires advanced sealing techniques, advanced spatial talent, and powerful sensory abilities, which you can't learn right now. Listen to me, focus on training your body and building a solid foundation in taijutsu. When you're a bit older, Dad will definitely teach you powerful ninjutsu. By then, you'll be able to defeat not only Sasuke, but even stronger opponents."
He deliberately changed the subject, trying to get Naruto to give up the idea of learning ninjutsu.
But Naruto didn't buy it at all, clinging to Minato, sometimes pulling his arm and shaking it, sometimes lying on his lap and acting cute.
He kept repeating, "I want to learn ninjutsu... I must defeat Sassu... for... Dad... Dad!"
Unable to find a way out of the situation, Minato Namikaze had no choice but to make an excuse and hide in his study.
Seeing that his father refused to teach him, Naruto could only turn around and go to find his mother, Kushina Uzumaki.
At that moment, Kushina Uzumaki was preparing dinner in the kitchen. Seeing Naruto's aggrieved look, she quickly put down the dishes she was holding and pulled him aside to ask what was wrong.
After listening to Naruto's tearful account, Kushina tenderly wiped away his tears, frowning as she said, "Minato, really! How could you be so dismissive of a child! Naruto wants to learn ninjutsu to become stronger, what's wrong with that? Come on, Mom will take you to him!"
Kushina pulled Naruto to the study door and pushed it open: "Minato! Naruto wants to learn ninjutsu, how can you not teach him? He needs encouragement right now, and your excuses will only make him more frustrated!"
Minato Namikaze put down his pen and looked at Kushina helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to teach him, it's that I'm afraid he won't learn well and will get hurt, and I'm even more afraid that he will hurt the other students."
Kushina walked up to Minato, hands on her hips, and said, "Can't you teach him slowly? Naruto inherited your talent, he'll definitely learn well! Besides, what if he secretly practices on his own and something goes wrong if you don't teach him?"
Naruto nodded in agreement, tugging at Minato's sleeve, and whispered, "Dad, I'll study hard, I won't get hurt, and I won't hurt the other kids, please teach me!"
Looking at Kushina's determined eyes and then at Naruto's expectant expression, Minato finally relented: "Alright, I'll teach you the Shadow Clone Technique. But you have to promise your father that you must practice under my and your mother's supervision, and you can't use it on your own, understand?"
Naruto immediately jumped up excitedly and nodded vigorously, "I understand! Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom! But I want to learn ninjutsu, especially Shadow Clone Technique. Is it powerful?"
Minato Namikaze explained the principles of the Shadow Clone Technique to Naruto: "The Shadow Clone Technique is a B-rank ninjutsu, generally only Jonin can learn it. It requires you to evenly distribute your chakra to create clones that have physical bodies and can fight. Your chakra reserves are enormous, so as long as you master the technique, you should be able to create many shadow clones."
Naruto blinked, somewhat uninterested: "A B-rank ninjutsu? Only Jonin can learn that? But can Shadow Clone Jutsu defeat Sasuke? He has the Sharingan and can see my every move."
Minato Namikaze laughed and explained, "Of course you can! One of you might not be able to beat him, but what about five or ten of you? Think about it, if you create several clones and attack from different directions, even if Sasuke can see the movements, he won't be able to handle them all!"
Naruto's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this: "That's right! If there were more of me, we could definitely defeat Sasuke! Dad, teach me quickly!"
Minato Namikaze began demonstrating the hand seals for the Shadow Clone Technique: "First, form the hand seals: ... Then, distribute the chakra evenly throughout your body... Then release the chakra..."
As he spoke, he formed hand seals, and a flash of white smoke appeared, revealing seven Minato Namikazes around him.
Naruto was thrilled and immediately started imitating him.
But as soon as he formed the hand seals, his chakra began to surge uncontrollably, and not a single shadow clone appeared.
"What happened? I did exactly what Dad told me to do!" Naruto sat on the ground, somewhat dejected.
For the next few days, Naruto practiced the Shadow Clone Technique in his courtyard every day, but each time he either had uneven chakra distribution or his hand seals were too slow, and he was never able to create a clone.
Gradually, he began to lose patience and sat to the side kicking stones.
Just then, Minato Namikaze would walk over, smiling, and say, "Naruto, are you planning to admit defeat to Sasuke? Are you going to avoid him from now on?"
Upon hearing "Sasuke... surrenders...", Naruto immediately perked up and got up from the ground.
He clenched his little fist: "I won't give up! I'm going to learn Shadow Clone Technique and defeat Sasuke!"
After saying that, he began to practice hand seals seriously again. Although he still made mistakes, he never said "give up" again.
Kushina would occasionally come to the courtyard and watch Naruto's serious expression.
She said with relief, "Minato, I knew Naruto could persevere! His indomitable spirit is exactly the same as yours back then."
Minato Namikaze smiled and nodded, his gaze falling on Naruto: "Naruto's talent is undoubtedly exceptional, but his chakra control is rather poor. I'll teach him how to climb trees using chakra first..."
