If Kushina weren’t her relative and if Naruto didn’t genuinely have Uzumaki blood, Tsunade might sometimes wonder if this kid got swapped.
"Sit still. I’m going to teach you the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu now. Whether you learn it depends on your own talent."
Tsunade had considered teaching Naruto the basic Shadow Clone Jutsu first, and then the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu after he mastered it.
But Kazuki’s letter specifically instructed her and Shizune to teach the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu directly, skipping the steps.
Tsunade couldn’t decide for herself, so she could only follow Kazuki’s orders.
"Lady Hokage, I’m ready."
Naruto sat down happily, perking up and looking eager to listen.
"Sigh... I hope this doesn’t harm Naruto."
With the arrow already on the string, it had to be released.
Tsunade sighed, set aside her complicated feelings, put on a stern face, and began teaching Naruto.
In Tsunade’s view, given Naruto’s talent for learning ninjutsu, the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu would take him a long time to master.
But Naruto’s performance left her and Shizune stunned.
They were even shocked.
Watching Naruto happily using the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, Tsunade swallowed nervously.
"Shizune, how long did it take you to learn this jutsu?"
"I..."
Brain still fuzzy, Shizune instinctively shook her head.
"It seems... I definitely couldn’t learn it in a few hours, let alone use it so recklessly. My god."
Is this guy even human?
The Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu was a forbidden technique. Yet Naruto learned it in a few hours.
Not only did he learn it, but he also deduced other applications, using the jutsu’s unique properties to aid his training.
Though he was exhausted, his happy expression suggested nothing was wrong.
Others using this jutsu had to worry about being drained. But Naruto used it freely.
And he was perfectly fine!
Having a ton of chakra really lets you do whatever you want?
Shizune admitted she was a little jealous.
No wonder Kazuki had specifically wanted Naruto to learn this jutsu. It felt like it was custom-made for him.
"Ha ha ha! I did it! I’m a genius!!"
With the help of the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, the Rasengan, which had been eluding Naruto, finally clicked.
He slapped the Rasengan against a tree trunk, breaking the tree.
Naruto stood smugly, one hand on his hip, the other rubbing his nose, and raised his eyebrows at Tsunade and Shizune.
See? I told you I, Uzumaki Naruto, am a genius.
’Kid, where did you learn that smug expression?’ Tsunade’s mouth twitched. She raised her hand and punched him.
"Ow!"
Naruto, who had been showing off moments ago, was knocked to the ground, clutching his head and howling.
A large bump visibly sprouted on his head.
In the past, when Tsunade hit Naruto, Shizune would try to stop her.
This time, Shizune chose to be a spectator, watching Naruto get beaten.
She felt Naruto needed some roughing up to behave.
This time it was a smug eyebrow raise. What next?
Kids shouldn’t learn bad habits.
He deserved to be hit.
Naruto never expected that using a gesture he’d learned from Jiraiya would get him beaten.
Not only did Tsunade hit him, even the kind big sister Shizune didn’t speak up for him.
Wah...
What did I do wrong?
I’m a genius! I learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Rasengan right away! Shouldn’t you be praising me?
Why did you hit me?
Pervy Sage was right. Women are impossible to reason with.
Sakura is like that. Lady Hokage is like that. Even big sister Shizune is like that.
I’m too pitiful.
After beating Naruto, Tsunade felt much better. She brushed off her clothes and turned to leave, throwing a warning over her shoulder.
"Kid, next time you make that face at me, I won’t kill you – but I’ll make sure you wish you were dead!"
Damn it!!
"Sss~ That hurts."
After a long while, Naruto, rubbing his swollen face, sat on the ground and asked in confusion.
"Sister Shizune, why did the Lady Hokage suddenly get so angry and hit me? I didn’t do anything to her, did I? Is she, like, going through menopause or something? Ow!"
Before he could finish, Naruto got another punch. Shizune, with black lines on her forehead, blew on her little fist and said irritably.
"Don’t say such rude things about Lady Hokage. Do you know how much those words hurt a girl? That gesture of yours is just asking to be hit. Stop learning bad habits from Lord Jiraiya, or you’ll keep getting beaten."
"I..."
So that’s why I got hit?
What a nonsense!
This is all Pervy Sage’s fault!
With no tears left to cry, Naruto promptly blamed Jiraiya.
At the border camp, Jiraiya, who was lounging around, sneezed several times. He rubbed his nose and looked around.
"Strange. Who’s thinking about me? Could it be Naruto? Ha ha ha, that kid must be having a rough time."
Imagining Naruto suffering through a difficult life with Tsunade, Jiraiya scratched his head and laughed, his laughter full of schadenfreude.
He’s learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Rasengan. Now, how do I complete the mission Lord Advisor gave me?
Naruto began to agonize over it.
He always hated thinking about such things because he wasn’t good at it.
So annoying. I’ll eat something and sleep on it. Deal with it tomorrow.
Having decided, Naruto happily ran to the kitchen. When he lifted the pot lid, he was stunned.
"Sister Shizune, didn’t you save me any food?"
Shizune’s voice came from upstairs.
"I did, but the Lady Hokage said you’ve learned bad habits, so she fed it to the forest animals. If you want to eat, cook it yourself."
"...."
Naruto turned to stone on the spot.
Are women this vengeful?
I’m just a kid! And you’re not giving me food!
Tsunade was determined to teach Naruto a lesson and correct his behavior.
With no other choice, Naruto miserably went to the river to catch fish and roast them. Gnawing on the fishy, bland meat, he couldn’t help but cry.
Naruto had rarely stayed with Tsunade for long. Now that he was stuck with her, Tsunade was determined to educate him properly and break his bad habits.
Jiraiya’s character, aside from certain aspects, was decent. But Naruto picked up the bad habits quickly and ignored the good ones, having spent so much time with him.
