Early morning, in the small woods.
After Minato and Kushina joined, Shuji's little group had expanded to eight people.
At that moment, Namikaze Minato and Kushina were holding their thousandth duel by the lakeside.
Yes, Namikaze Minato had also learned the Shadow Clone Technique under Nawaki's guidance.
So, on a morning that should have been spent in theory class, Namikaze Minato had also appeared in these small woods.
It could be said that with the use of Shadow Clones, Minato's already impressive rate of progress had increased to the fullest extent.
As Minato and Kushina's duel began, Mikoto sat cross-legged beneath a tree while eating breakfast.
Sometimes she watched Kushina's perilous fight against Minato.
Sometimes she watched Shuji's Shadow Clone, which sat cross-legged on the ground with its eyes closed, practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique.
As for Shuji's real body... Glancing helplessly at Shuji, who leaned against a tree while practicing the nature transformation of Wind Release Chakra, Mikoto let out a helpless sigh.
Too fast... It was really too fast!
This guy...
He had only just turned twelve this year!
And he had already started practicing a second Chakra nature transformation?
People who mastered two Chakra nature transformations were generally called Jonin in the village, right?
A twelve-year-old Jonin...
Wouldn't the village do something about a genius like that?
Sigh...
With another helpless sigh, Mikoto turned her attention to Kushina and Minato's fight.
Honestly, Mikoto quite liked seeing Kushina and Namikaze Minato tangled up together.
As long as they don't come bother my Shuji.
"Minato! This doesn't look like you at all!"
As Nawaki's voice rang out, Minato and Kushina's duel came to an end.
Kushina had won.
Come to think of it, Minato seemed to have barely won against Kushina lately.
So... could Minato like Kushina?
