[Uchiha Madara: Looks like Naruto's got some real talent!]
[Senju Hashirama: Yeah, before this, the Nine-Tails was messing with his chakra control, holding him back. But now that it's not interfering anymore, I bet he's going to start showing his true potential!]
[Senju Tobirama: Well, it's not surprising. His parents were no ordinary people. Minato would be considered a genius even in our time, and Kushina was an Uzumaki. With that kind of lineage, it's only a matter of time before Naruto starts proving he's got the skills to back it up!]
[Uchiha Izuna: What a waste that Sakura ended up in Team 7. If Makoto had been in her place, that team would've been absolutely insane!]
[Hyuga Hizashi: No kidding! Just imagine, Kakashi, the son of the legendary White Fang, a guy famous as the Copy Ninja. Then you have Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage, carrying the Nine-Tails inside him and having Uzumaki blood. Then there's Sasuke, an Uchiha orphan and the son of the clan's patriarch, who's already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.]
[And on top of that, Makoto, who was trained by us. This team is ridiculously overpowered!]
[Senju Tobirama: Honestly, Minato may not have been as monstrous as my big brother or Madara, but when it came to learning jutsu, he was a straight-up prodigy! The Flying Thunder God Technique isn't something just anyone can pick up.]
[Back in the day, I tried teaching that jutsu to Hiruzen and Danzo. Those two idiots couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried.]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Can't really blame them. The Flying Thunder God Technique is a pain to learn. When Makoto was going through the Book of Seals, I saw the technique in there too.]
[Namikaze Minato: This jutsu demands insane chakra control and lightning-fast reflexes. Both are absolutely essential. Since it was ridiculously difficult, I tweaked it a bit. Now, if a squad of four trains hard enough, they might actually be able to pull off the Flying Thunder God Technique!]
[Senju Tobirama: You modified it? Hah! That's impressive, Fourth Hokage! I gotta give you credit for that.]
[Namikaze Minato: Lord Second, you're being too generous!]
[Uchiha Izuna: And then there's the Rasengan. I studied it for a while, and it's way more complex than it looks!]
[First off, it's a jutsu that doesn't require hand seals. That alone makes it unique. But on top of that, it can be combined with different chakra natures, making it insanely versatile! As far as jutsu creation goes, I gotta hand it to you, Minato. You really knew what you were doing.]
[Namikaze Minato: Master Izuna, you flatter me! That's about the only thing I can say I'm good at. Compared to you legendary warriors, my actual combat strength is nothing special!]
[Uchiha Madara: Don't sell yourself short. Everyone has their own strengths. Take splitting the Nine-Tails in half, for example. That thought never even crossed my mind! I gotta admit, that was genius.]
[Namikaze Minato: Haha, thanks for the praise! Now I feel a little embarrassed... Oh, right! Makoto! There's a piece of both my chakra and Kushina's inside Naruto's seal. Whenever he tries to open it, our chakra will appear and interact with him!]
[Ito Makoto: That's Naruto's problem to figure out. Whether he can open the seal or not depends entirely on how he gets along with the Nine-Tails. He might act like a clueless idiot, but deep down, he's not stupid.]
[That being said, without the Nine-Tails messing with his chakra, Naruto's real talent is starting to show. His chakra reserves are so ridiculous that he can spam jutsu all day without even worrying about running out!]
After training with Naruto, Makoto had fully realized just how absurdly fast Naruto could learn. With his massive chakra reserves, the guy was basically a walking cheat code.
Thinking about that, Makoto suddenly remembered a trick from the original storyline.
"Hey, Naruto! Try using the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu first, then have your clones train instead of you."
"When they dispel, all the experience they gained will transfer back to you. It's basically a fast-track way to learn ninjutsu!"
Naruto's eyes widened after hearing his words.
A shortcut? Who wouldn't want that?
"Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, dozens of Narutos popped into existence and the craziest part, he wasn't even breaking a sweat. For anyone else, this would've been a chakra drain from hell, but for Naruto, It was like spending pocket change.
Without wasting time, all of them immediately threw themselves into training.
Since learning sealing techniques required a strong foundation, Naruto had to start from the basics.
Luckily, Kushina had already passed down the entire Uzumaki sealing arts to Makoto, so now he could properly teach Naruto.
The two of them trained the entire day, only stopping when night fell.
The moment Naruto dispelled his clones, his head spun from the flood of memories. But after shaking it off and adjusting, he was perfectly fine.
For a normal person, absorbing even a few clones' worth of experience would've been overwhelming. But Naruto shrugged it off like it was nothing.
Meanwhile, Sasuke was still dead asleep in the corner. Not wanting to wake him, Naruto hoisted him onto his back and started carrying him back to Tazuna's house.
As Naruto walked, Sasuke, who had been frowning in his sleep all day, finally seemed to relax. His face softened, and in a rare moment of vulnerability, he even nuzzled his head slightly against Naruto's shoulder.
