Naruto: Minato Namikaze, born evil

Chapter 13 Tsunade Breaks Defense

After lunch, upon hearing that Tsunade planned to begin teaching Minato's training directly, Jiraiya and Orochimaru left together.

For ninjas, training involves their own personal information, which is related to their life safety, making it a very private matter.

Unless the relationship is very close, disturbing someone's cultivation is actually a very impolite act.

Even seven-year-old Nawaki understood this. After dinner, he greeted Tsunade and went to play with his friends.

Tsunade took Minato home, found several thick scrolls, as thick as tree trunks, and piled them up in front of Minato like they were stockpiling New Year's goods.

"Are these all Wood Release ninjutsu?"

Minato looked at the scrolls stacked up to be much taller than himself, and his eyes twitched slightly.

"No, it should be said to be the Senju clan's inherited ninjutsu, not just Wood Release. I remember you said before that you had already tested your own chakra nature, so you should also know something about some characteristics of chakra, right?"

Tsunade stared at Minato, her gaze carrying a hint of testing.

"As for characteristics... chakra has uniqueness, heredity, and sociality."

"Uniqueness refers to the fact that everyone's chakra characteristics are different, while heritability refers to bloodline inheritance, where children usually inherit the chakra attributes of their parents or ancestors."

Minato thought for a moment and continued, "Sociality refers to the significant differences in chakra properties among people from different regions, which may be influenced by social factors or environmental factors."

"good."

Tsunade nodded, satisfied with Minato's solid theoretical foundation: "Just as you said, chakra has a hereditary component, which is why the Senju clan's chakra attributes are mostly water and earth."

"And Wood Release... how much do you know about bloodline limits?"

"I don't know much about it, I only know that it is the first generation's bloodline limit."

Minato shook his head. Chakra characteristics are essential knowledge to learn at the beginning of chakra training, and they are all recorded in the scrolls left by his father, but bloodline limits are not. This is not something he should be learning right now.

"Listen carefully, chakra is the energy refined from a one-to-one mixture of physical and spiritual energy, while ninjutsu is an effect produced by chakra undergoing different transformations through hand seals."

As Tsunade spoke, she held up two fingers: "Generally speaking, chakra transformations can be divided into two types: form transformations and nature transformations."

"Training in form transformation can enhance control over chakra, training in nature transformation can enhance the power of corresponding elemental ninjutsu, and bloodline limit is the power that is the fusion of two chakra nature transformations."

"For example, your Wood Release is a combination of Water Release and Earth Release chakra nature transformations."

Minato raised his hand: "Then, Tsunade-sensei, does this mean I was born with the ability to transform two types of chakra nature?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

Tsunade shook her head and chuckled: "The real difficulty with bloodline limits lies in simultaneously unleashing and fusing two chakra nature transformations, such as using water-style nature transformation in the left hand and earth-style nature transformation in the right."

"For those who are born with a bloodline limit, this ability is like a biological instinct. They are born with a certain foundation for nature transformation and the ability to fuse two nature transformations. But this does not mean that they do not need to train in chakra nature transformation."

"Even because the bloodline limit is a mixture of two chakra natures, it actually has one more nature transformation that needs to be trained compared to others."

As she spoke, seemingly worried about dampening Minato's enthusiasm, Tsunade added another sentence.

"Of course, the power of a bloodline limit is definitely much stronger than a single-attribute ninjutsu. And even without a bloodline limit, to become a qualified Jonin, you must at least master two chakra nature transformations."

"If those who possess bloodline limits are born with the ability to simultaneously unleash two chakra nature transformations..."

Minato thought for a moment: "Could I use this to synthesize more bloodline limits?"

"Theoretically, it's possible, but let's wait until you master one of the chakra nature transformations first."

Tsunade chuckled and patted the scroll beside her.

"Among these scrolls, the white scrolls record the training methods for chakra form and nature transformation, the yellow ones are Earth Release ninjutsu, the blue ones are Water Release, and the green ones are Wood Release. These are all things you will learn in the future, and I plan to teach you from the very basics."

Minato tilted his head: "Training in changes of form and nature?"

"It's chakra control!"

Tsunade rolled her eyes: "In terms of the order of training, form transformation usually comes before nature transformation, but that's something that only Chunin-level players are involved in. For you right now..."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then leaped up, flipped over, and landed upside down on the ceiling, a hint of smugness in her smile.

"This is your next training goal~ Don't think that you'll be all set just because you've learned how to create a shadow clone."

Upon hearing this, Minato looked up at Tsunade and said, "Actually, I've already learned to tread water."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's smile froze instantly: "You've learned it?"

"Um."

Minato nodded: "It's recorded in the training scroll left by my father; it's not too difficult."

Tsunade silently jumped down from the roof: "Well... chakra control isn't that difficult, is it? How long did it take you to master it?"

"Ten minutes."

"laugh…"

Tsunade was so angry she laughed: "Geniuses are truly incomprehensible..."

It took her about ten minutes, but by then she had already graduated from the Ninja Academy, while Minato hadn't even enrolled yet...

"In that case, let's begin training in form transformation... Form transformation is an extension of chakra control, and there isn't really a specific training method."

Tsunade sighed, her tone somewhat dull: "Internal training can increase proficiency by continuously refining chakra and manipulating it within the body. External release can enhance proficiency by attaching chakra to the body's surface and creating different forms."

Minato silently watched Tsunade, sensing that she seemed to be giving up.

And his feeling was right; Tsunade had indeed given up...

Because she suddenly realized that, apart from combat experience, she had nothing left to teach the other party!

He's already mastered climbing trees, wading through water, and performing water gates.

The chakra nature transformation that only Jonin can master means that the opponent, due to their bloodline limit, is born with the foundation of two... or even more chakra nature transformations.

As for chakra transformation, judging from the speed at which Minato learned to tread water, it probably won't be long before he reaches a fairly good level.

But that's about all the Jonin the village have!

Some Jonin haven't even mastered the second chakra nature...

What terrifies Tsunade the most is that once Minato completes these training sessions, it means that he has already surpassed her in terms of raw strength!

If she were 30 and Minato were 15, she wouldn't find it unacceptable; on the contrary, she might even be happy for her genius disciple.

But if she were 19 and Minato were 5, then she would really be a little overwhelmed...
