Inside the Sealing Space.

Minato Namikaze had just finished his work, happened to see this scene, and his face was filled with embarrassment.

"Heh... Kushina, Naruto really is exactly like you."

"Yong Dai Mei, is this the Child of Prophecy you mentioned?"

Inside the cage, the Nine-Tails lay sprawled out, a mocking expression on its face, and asked...

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze turned to look at Nine-Tails, a sun-like smile on his face, and nodded firmly.

"Yes, I believe it."

"Because my child will be the first to reach out to the Tailed Beast."

"Ridiculous! You left this as a backup plan in the Sealing Jutsu."

"I don't believe you didn't perceive those scenes. Why don't you go ask that Hiruzen, who's like a candle flickering in the wind?"

"I think you can manage this."

The Nine-Tails fox's claws gripped the cage, its tone full of seduction.

"The Hiruzen Hokage was first and foremost a Hokage, and only then a person... Besides, Naruto is growing up well now, isn't he?"

Minato Namikaze to look behind him, and he could clearly tell that Naruto was very happy.

Outside, Naruto was already surrounded by Shikamaru and Sasuke, after all, the commotion he had just caused was quite significant.

Naruto scratched his head awkwardly, ignoring Sasuke's mockery.

After all, he had just made a huge fool of himself.

Refuting Sasuke now might just invite even louder ridicule later.

"Tch, human bonds. They've always been fragile and easily broken."

Nine-Tails scoffed at this; having lived for over a thousand years, he had seen far too much.

The most memorable one was Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

"Though fragile, how can we not cherish it all the more?"

Minato Namikaze did not refute Nine-Tails's idea, after all, it was a fact.

However, he also has his own views.

"Therefore, I will give you the choice, Nine-Tails. On the day Naruto breaks the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, I think Kurama will see what a ninja should truly protect."

Instead of reprimanding Minato for calling his name, Nine-Tails burst into laughter. After a long while, his beast-like eyes finally focused on Minato Namikaze form.

"Interesting... but I can choose not to participate."

After speaking, the Nine-Tails' tails, which had been flailing wildly behind it, slowly retracted, and its tall body lay down, closing its eyes.

He made it clear to Minato Namikaze that he wouldn't care about the matter.

Minato Namikaze chuckled, showing no sign of discouragement towards Nine-Tails's attitude.

"Naruto, my child."

Minato Namikaze, having withdrawn his senses, disappeared once again from the Sealing Space, which gradually dimmed.

In the darkness, a pair of beastly eyes slightly opened.

On the training field, Naruto and the others were discussing something around Hagoromo.

Hagoromo Yi crossed her arms and looked at the group with a smile.

Training shouldn't be all about burying yourself in hard work; sometimes it's good to relax a bit.

Besides, Naruto others were discussing how to get Shadow Clones to help them with their tasks.

After Naruto explained the benefits of this Ninjutsu, the others immediately thought of using Shadow Clones to help.

If I had enough Chakra, I could have my Shadow Clones train with me. Only an idiot Naruto would think of having Shadow Clones complete the assignment.

Thinking of this, Sasuke couldn't help but glance at Naruto, this guy who possessed abundant Chakra but didn't know how lucky he was.

Shikamaru stroked his chin, carefully considering what would happen if he could use Shadow Clones in conjunction with this.

Then the secret techniques of the Nara Clan and Akimichi Clans can be used to their fullest potential.

With that in mind, Shikamaru asked Hagoromo to verify his idea.

After listening to Shikamaru's explanation, Hagoromo nodded approvingly and said, "Shikamaru is right."

"Although the inventor of the Shadow Clone Technique originally intended for the Shadow Clones to possess Chakra like the physical entity, it was a kind of alternative limitation to the Sharingan."

???

Sasuke was completely stunned upon hearing this; what grudge could there be?

They even restrict the Sharingan?!

"However, it is indeed as you said, Shikamaru."

"Shadow Clones, when used well, can be a tactic, especially in the hands of a clever person; their power can be comparable to some A-rank Ninjutsu."

Of course, it's even more effective in the hands of some madmen.

Sending Shadow Clones to charge into battle alongside Explosive Tags is definitely a powerful weapon.

The prerequisite is that this person possesses a massive amount of Chakra and amazing regenerative abilities; otherwise, they would either die or become an idiot after such an attack.

After all, it's real pain.

Hagoromo glanced at Naruto discreetly; he was definitely a potential demolition soldier.

Just as Hagoromo was thinking about what Naruto had said about Shadow Clone Naruto being just as powerful as an A-rank Ninjutsu, and was imagining himself possessing this technique,

My body trembled for no reason, and I quickly looked around.

Are there troublemakers?!

"However, Shikamaru, you forgot one thing: Chakra."

"The Nara Clan is known for its low Chakra reserves, while Choji 'Chakra is decent."

"However, the techniques he uses consume a lot of Chakra. If Choji were to use Shadow Clone, the teacher estimates that Choji's Multi-Size Technique would be less powerful than if he didn't use Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Upon hearing this, Shikamaru slapped his forehead.

He was indeed making assumptions, after all, the temptation was quite strong.

Choji, continued to munch on his potato chips.

Ino, due to the nature of the Mind Body Switch Technique, had absolutely no interest in the Shadow Clone Technique.

"Hey, teacher, if only the person who invented this technique had considered making the Shadow Clones absolutely obedient to the original body."

Naruto rested his hands behind his head, still hoping that Shadow Clones could help him solve the problem.

"Idiot, just use Genjutsu to control the Shadow Clones."

Sasuke said irritably, finding it frustrating that Naruto, who was the best at using Shadow Clones, was preoccupied with the research topic.

Kindness?

Why did it suddenly become quiet?

Sasuke looked up in confusion, only to find Naruto, Shikamaru, and the others staring at him in astonishment.

Even the Hagoromo is the same.

However, Hagoromo wondered if the Second Hokage would utter that classic line if he heard Sasuke say that.

You evil Uchiha Clan... your thoughts are dangerous.

After all, what kind of good person would be so ruthless as to use Genjutsu on their own Shadow Clone?

"Yeah! That's a good idea! I didn't expect you, arrogant Sasuke, to be so smart!"

Naruto clapped his hands in agreement.

???!!!

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Hagoromo covered her face in exasperation.

Here is a ruthless annihilation.

"Naruto, Genjutsu will disrupt the Chakra distribution of Shadow Clones, causing them to disintegrate and dissipate."

"To achieve what Sasuke said, one must possess extremely high Chakra control and a massive amount of Chakra."

The Hagoromo shattered Naruto's illusions; if things continued like this...

It's possible that Naruto might do something like this to lighten the workload.

Ga--

"Hehe, then I'll just have to handle it myself," Naruto with an embarrassed smile.
