"The Shadow Clone Technique, when dispelled, does indeed transmit memories and experiences back, which can double the effectiveness of certain training methods, but it also brings back fatigue, so it absolutely cannot be used recklessly!" Minato sternly told Naruto about the side effects of the Shadow Clone.
"And the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is even more of a forbidden technique, consuming a large amount of Chakra, and forcibly using it can damage oneself."
Naruto finally obtained the training method for the Shadow Clone Technique, but Minato and Kushina carefully explained the side effects of this ninjutsu, urging Naruto not to use it recklessly.
Naruto actually knew all of this, but it didn't diminish the charm of the Shadow Clone. When he was a child, he wanted the clone technique after watching the Monkey King, and after watching Hokage, he wanted to learn the Shadow Clone even more, so he could play games and do homework at the same time...
Naruto excitedly finished reading the information on the Shadow Clone, and in front of his family, he tried to form the hand seals:
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
However, nothing happened. Naruto scratched his head, as if his Chakra had been disrupted by excitement just now. Naruto calmed down and formed the hand seals again:
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Poof! A person exactly like Naruto appeared beside him. The clone turned around, gave a salute, and said:
"Disposable Naruto 001 reporting for duty!"
Naruto: "Huh?"
Kushina and others: "Huh?"
Only Minato was thoughtful. This name was quite appropriate. Shadow Clones were disposable, after all. Not bad, worthy of being my son.
Naruto curiously circled around the clone, feeling similar to when he first went to the zoo to see monkeys.
Naruto reached out and poked and touched the clone casually. Hmm, it had a physical body, the touch was very real, and he couldn't detect that it was fake at all.
The clone was also very curious at first. After all, it shared the same thought process as Naruto's main body, and it also touched itself up and down, as if confirming its existence.
But when Naruto's main body started poking the clone, the clone became very unhappy: "Hey, enough, is it fun touching yourself? I'm going to shout indecent assault!"
Naruto's claws froze. So many people were watching, couldn't he give him some face? He dispelled the clone dejectedly.
In an instant, the memories returned, and Naruto got goosebumps all over his body, feeling so embarrassed that he could dig out a four-bedroom apartment with his feet.
In the returned memories, he was looking at another version of himself circling around himself from the clone's perspective, and also looking up and down, the feeling of being poked all over his body seemed to still be there. Having two perspectives at the same time felt like he was having a split personality. He needed to practice this move more and adapt to it properly.
That night, Naruto, back in his room, suddenly had a bold idea. Naruto created a clone, made eye contact, and tried to communicate with the Sealing Space separately:
"Big Fox!" *2
Nine Tails raised its head: "What are you up to again?"
"I'm just testing if the clone can contact you."
"So what if it can?"
"Can you control this clone?"
"I can if you don't resist. What do you want to do?"
"Hehe, what to do?" Naruto gave the clone a look.
The clone understood instantly. After all, this was an idea it had before it was created, and it formed the hand seals smoothly: "Transformation!"
Poof! The clone transformed into the appearance of Nine Tails, only half a person tall.
Naruto touched the little fox's head and said, "Want to come out for a walk? You can play with this clone."
The Nine Tails stared at Naruto for a while, involuntarily recalling a more childish voice from a few years ago, "Big fox, I recognize you."
This kid never showed fear or disgust towards the tailed beast from the beginning. He would sit down and talk to him properly, tell him some messy stories, consider whether the environment of the Sealing Space was comfortable, and now that he's learned the Shadow Clone Technique, he's trying to let him go out for a walk...
"Okay." Even the Nine Tails didn't realize that his voice had softened a lot compared to before. He just tried to control Naruto's fox-transformed clone through the gap Minato had deliberately left in the seal.
Buzz, an invisible aura emanated from the little fox that the clone had transformed into, and the originally unremarkable little fox seemed to become majestic in an instant.
The Nine Tails tried to wag its tail and said, "It feels..."
Boom! The wall suddenly broke open, and Kushina crashed in from the next room, shattering the wall. Her red hair fluttered, and Kushina in her pajamas gave off the aura of a female warrior.
Kushina saw the small Nine Tails in the room and shouted angrily, "Nine Tails, what are you trying to do?!"
Naruto hurriedly said, "Don't rush..."
A basic-colored chain pierced the Nine Tails with lightning speed, and the Nine Tails disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"...move." Naruto had just struck the Erkang pose, but things ended too quickly. As soon as Naruto finished speaking, the little Nine Tails was gone.
"Ouch, it hurts. No, it doesn't hurt." Naruto clutched his stomach, feeling the painful memories from the clone, so much so that even though his body didn't hurt, his brain thought it should hurt, and he didn't know how to react.
At the same time, Minato followed closely into the room and asked, "What's going on?"
Not long after, Kimimaro also pushed the door open and entered the room, looking at the broken wall with a puzzled expression.
Five minutes later, Naruto calmed down the fox who had been beaten for no reason and was throwing a tantrum in the Sealing Space. He explained the cause and effect to his parents and also learned the reason why Kushina broke in.
Kushina sensed the fluctuation of the Nine Tails' Chakra in the next room and thought that the Nine Tails had broken free from the seal and gone berserk. She subconsciously broke through the wall and rushed over, and then directly attacked the fox. She didn't expect it to be a false alarm.
This matter was a mess. He couldn't pass the blame to Danzo, nor could he say it was the fault of the hour, so Naruto had to take responsibility for everything himself.
However, Kushina didn't say anything in the end, she just hugged Naruto and turned around to clean up the broken wood that she had smashed out.
Naruto looked at her back, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say. It was really hard to say the three words "I'm sorry" to his family.
Minato saw Naruto's embarrassment and rubbed Naruto's head with his big hand: "It's okay, Naruto, Mom is just too worried about you. What you did this time was a little reckless."
"Yeah." Naruto nodded, concerning the Nine Tails, he should have said hello in advance.
"Are you and the Nine Tails... on good terms?"
In the Sealing Space, the Nine Tails' ears twitched.
Naruto thought for a while and said, "I guess you could say we're friends."
In the Sealing Space, Naruto patted the fox's paw: "What do you think, big fox?"
The Nine Tails closed his eyes and didn't speak. When Naruto saw the proud fox's reaction, he took it as a default.
"Can he borrow my clone to come out in the future?"
Minato thought for a while and instructed, "It's okay, but you have to tell him not to hurt people, to maintain his human form, and not to cause riots.
Also, you are still young, don't maintain the Shadow Clone for too long."
"Okay!" Naruto agreed very readily, the big fox should be able to understand.
The conversation ended, and the family went back to their respective rooms. The large hole in the wall could only be repaired by someone tomorrow. Naruto lay on the bed, greeted the Nine Tails, and went offline to sleep.
As Naruto's consciousness disappeared from the Sealing Space, the Nine Tails opened its eyes and murmured, "I guess..."
