Neither parent had an Earth Style chakra nature, yet their child did. Did that make sense? Of course not.
Minato Namikaze naturally found himself wondering about this. Faced with Naruto attacking from both sides, Minato simply leaned aside, then spun around and kicked Naruto's Shadow Clone in the stomach, dispersing it in a puff of white smoke.
