"Dad, why are you suddenly teaching Tenten the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"Tenten is skilled in two types of Ninjutsu: one is storing ninja tools in scrolls and taking them out during battle, and the other is using scrolls to summon a large number of ninja tools. So, I think she has the talent to learn the Flying Thunder God."
"I know that, I'm just curious why you suddenly noticed her."
Naruto suddenly understood something. If Tenten was using scrolls to summon a large number of ninja tools, would the ninja tools automatically return after a certain period of time? So, she doesn't retrieve them because she doesn't need to, not necessarily because she's rich and willful?
"It's not sudden, I'm the Hokage, of course I have to pay attention to talented ninjas. Cultivating the next generation for the village is the responsibility of the Kage."
For Konoha, the more people who know the Flying Thunder God, a Ninjutsu with strategic significance, the better. As long as there are suitable successors who can learn it, Minato will teach them carefully.
"Oh." This is indeed his dad's style, always thinking about the village.
Minato looked at Naruto and asked, "So, tell me, why did you stay behind on purpose?"
Speaking of this, Naruto got excited: "Dad, I want to become an immortal, with happiness equal to the heavens!"
Minato: "Huh?"
...
Naruto wants to learn Sage Mode, because Sage Mode is really important. Some enemies who can absorb Chakra and enemies who are immune to Chakra attacks can only be dealt with by Taijutsu and Sage Mode.
And if you want to deal with that level of enemy with Taijutsu alone, you have to train to the extent that Guy opens the Eight Gates. In comparison, learning Sage Mode is more realistic.
Minato didn't refuse, but he put forward conditions. Cultivation should be gradual, so Naruto should first complete the cultivation he is currently undertaking, master the nature Transformation of the Wind attribute, and give the Light Ring Gale Burst Arrow, that is, the Rasengan Shuriken, a prototype.
Naruto had no objection. After learning the Rasengan Shuriken, his Chakra control ability would definitely increase a lot, which should also help him learn Sage Mode.
With a goal, there is motivation. Naruto didn't go home directly, but found a Small Woods and started practicing, just cutting leaves.
Put your hands together, put the leaves in your palm, and try to transform Chakra into the Wind attribute, and it will be considered a success if you cut the leaves.
So, the question is, how to transform it?
Never mind, first make a hundred Shadow Clones to practice. If there are no results in half an hour, then add another hundred Shadow Clones!
An afternoon passed, and eight hundred Little Blondies stood in the woods. Finally, one Shadow Clone made a small cut in the leaf, and then dispelled itself expressionlessly.
The remaining seven hundred Shadow Clones suddenly realized, and then beat their chests and stamped their feet, especially No. 001, who said annoyedly: "Damn it, he got there first again!"
Everything is difficult at the beginning. After having a reference answer, the remaining Shadow Clones also got the hang of it, and each of them cut the leaves with Chakra, and then happily chose their favorite way to end themselves.
Hundreds of copies of such a long time of memories returned, and Naruto's brain swelled with pain. He sat down on the ground with a thud, feeling as if he had done seven days and seven nights of advanced mathematics problems.
In the Sealing Space, Naruto lay on his back on the Big Fox, and said uncomfortably, "Big Fox, I'm going to sleep for a while, you help me go back..."
Although he had used more Shadow Clones when fighting before, that was only for a few minutes or even seconds, but the short time had little impact, unlike today, which was so uncomfortable.
Nine Tails adjusted his posture to prevent Naruto from falling, and then took over Naruto's body and stood up: "He really messes around enough."
Nine Tails skillfully controlled Naruto's body to go home, and his nose suddenly twitched on the way, and then he took out Naruto's little frog wallet: "He must be hungry after training for so long, right? Looking at him, I don't know how long he will sleep, so I'll eat something for him..."
An hour later, Nine Tails finally returned to Naruto's room, lay on the bed and covered himself with the quilt, and went back to the Sealing Space to sleep soundly.
The next morning, when Naruto woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning, and he walked out of the bedroom yawning.
Then he saw Minato sitting in a chair with a newspaper in his hand, but his eyes were always observing Kushina's expression.
Kushina crossed her arms, holding a soup ladle, and glared at Naruto.
"Uh... good morning, Mom and Dad." Naruto sensed the atmosphere was off. Kimimaro and the others weren't around, probably out, but shouldn't Dad be at work today?
Kushina thrust the ladle at Naruto's nose. "Tell me, what good deed did you do yesterday!"
Naruto instinctively recoiled. "Just some ordinary training..."
"Eight hundred Shadow Clones training together, and for a whole afternoon! Exhausting yourself to the point of losing consciousness! Is that ordinary training?"
"Well... because the progress was too slow, I accidentally..."
"No matter what, you can't overdraw your body! Even with great recovery, there's a limit!"
Seeing Kushina's red hair starting to float, Minato quickly hugged her.
"Kushina, calm down, Naruto knows he was wrong, right?" Minato winked at Naruto.
A wise man submits to circumstances. Naruto admitted his mistake at light speed: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong (but I'll do it again next time)."
Kushina's anger subsided a bit, and she said, "Go wash up, then eat."
Naruto washed up and returned. He grabbed a sandwich and looked up to find it was almost nine o'clock.
"Ah, it's almost time to meet up, I'm leaving!" Naruto stuffed the sandwich in his mouth and jumped out the window.
"Naruto! Eat properly!" Kushina waved the ladle and chased to the window, her red hair moving without wind.
That Naruto, what a pain, Minato thought. He actually wanted to slip away too, but felt the consequences would be severe, so he awkwardly picked up the newspaper and pretended to read it intently.
...
After sneaking out of the house, Naruto ate the sandwich in a few bites, using the ninja's common way of traveling by leaping across rooftops.
Suddenly, a few familiar figures came into view. Naruto jumped down and picked up Hinata in a hug, spinning her around. "Hinata, did you miss me!"
"Ah, Naruto-kun!" Hinata was both shy and happy. "You're back!"
"Yeah, just got back yesterday." Naruto then greeted the other two. "Yo, Akamaru, Shino, long time no see!"
"Woof!" Akamaru barked happily, wagging his tail while perched on Kiba's head.
Kiba was unhappy. "Hey, Naruto, you noticed Shino, but you're deliberately ignoring me!"
Shino adjusted his sunglasses and said, "Kiba, don't say that. People's attention is limited, anyone can be overlooked. We should be happy Naruto is back, and if you ask why..."
"Because he called you but not me! You always give long speeches!" Kiba interrupted Shino, jumping up and down.
Shino didn't answer, his expression unchanged, but he thought to himself that it had been a while since he sparred with Kiba. The number of insects he could control had increased recently, so he might as well practice with him after completing the mission today.
