At this moment, Minato stared at the black-haired boy who was hanging upside down steadily on the tree trunk, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Although the difficulty of this technique of attaching chakra to the feet was not too high, any ninja with a little talent could master it in a very short time.
Minato demonstrated this technique to him, and the best expectation was, of course, that Itachi would master it in a very short time.
But he never thought that he could master it in such a short time and succeed in one go!
In terms of chakra control alone, Itachi was the most talented person Minato had ever seen.
Even he and Kakashi were slightly inferior.
However, even geniuses have their strengths and weaknesses.
For example, Minato had already mastered the technique of instant body movement before his rebirth.
This is the area of personal talent.
"Okay, come down," Minato raised his eyes and said to Itachi on the tree trunk.
The latter nodded obediently, then flipped over and landed steadily in front of Minato.
"That's all I can teach you right now."
Minato stared into Itachi's eyes and chuckled.
If this were said to any other child, they would definitely think that Minato was bluffing.
After all, in most people's perception, the strength of a ninja is represented by the strength of his mastery of ninjutsu.
He is the famous Yellow Flash in the ninja world, but what he taught Itachi today didn't seem to be a big deal.
Even ninjas who have been Genin for a period of time have basically mastered this skill.
"Thank you!"
But Itachi had no such emotion at all. He bowed to Minato very respectfully.
"It seems you already understand." Minato smiled with great relief.
For Itachi's current age, teaching him more difficult things will not actually be very effective.
The real purpose of Minato teaching him to climb trees today was to train Itachi's ability to control chakra.
Through today's guidance, Minato has actually determined Itachi's future development direction.
That is to become a ninja of genjutsu type.
The skills mastered by ninjas can be roughly divided into three categories: ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. Among the first two, basically all ninjas have mastered them to some extent.
However, genjutsu-type ninjas are extremely rare, and powerful genjutsu-type ninjas are even rarer among the five major ninja nations.
Because a ninja who is powerful enough, even if he is not proficient in genjutsu, can still resist most genjutsu-type ninjas with his experience and control of chakra.
But Itachi is different. He not only has the prerequisites to become a powerful genjutsu-type ninja, but also has a talent for manipulating chakra.
What's more important is that one day in the future, power will awaken in his body.
Sharingan.
A powerful genjutsu-type ninja who can fill many gaps in the village, such as in interrogation and intelligence gathering.
So Minato was quite looking forward to seeing what level Itachi would be able to reach in the future.
Itachi bowed to Minato very respectfully again, then his expression changed and he hurried into the house.
Itachi loves his younger brother Sasuke very much.
After not seeing each other for such a while, he was worried about Sasuke.
"I'm so sorry to trouble you so much."
After Mikoto's family finished dinner, Minato also prepared a bento for Kushina.
When it comes to rebuilding the barrier to protect the village, Kushina has already reached the point of neglecting sleep and food.
"It is an honor for our family to trouble Hokage-sama."
Mikoto, who was next to Fugaku, teased that she, Minato and Kushina were close friends since childhood, so how could they really care about these things?
Hearing this, Minato shrugged and chuckled, then took the lunch box, picked up Naruto, and disappeared in front of Mikoto's family.
Hokage Building, Barrier Room.
It wasn't until Minato brought the bento and called out to Kushina that she realized she had already worked all day with almost no rest in the process.
The members of the barrier team who assisted her all looked exhausted.
After quickly finishing her lunch box, Kushina said to Minato, "There are still some things that are not perfected today, so Naruto is in your hands."
"I understand."
Just now when Kushina was eating, Minato observed that there were still points in this barrier that needed to be tightened and stabilized.
As the core, Kushina cannot leave. Even if Minato, who has the same attainments in sealing techniques as her, wants to complete it for her, he cannot do it in a short time.
"I'm sorry Naruto, mommy can't sleep with you."
Kushina clasped her hands together very apologetically and spoke to the child in Minato's arms.
Naruto then smiled at her, seemingly responding to Kushina's feelings.
Afterwards, Minato took Naruto out of the barrier rrom and returned home.
Minato did not use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to immediately take Naruto home, but instead carried him on his shoulders and slowly walked towards home.
It's almost nine o'clock now, time to go to bed, so there are relatively fewer pedestrians on the street.
However, perhaps because the village had just been rebuilt, there were still quite a few people on the streets to celebrate.
All shops have extended their business hours.
Minato and his son kept walking down the street.
Naturally, many people came to greet Minato, the Hokage.
And every time he saw those people, Naruto's little face was constantly filled with smiles.
This child's personality is very similar to Kushina's. Since he was born, Minato has rarely seen Naruto cry.
The reason why Minato did this was that there was always something he couldn't decide in his heart.
He did not forget the prediction made by the Toad Sage that day.
With deep thoughts in mind, Minato finally returned home with Naruto.
Naruto had a smile on his face the whole time until Minato finished washing him. When he was about to fall asleep, Minato stared at the young face in front of him and actually asked.
"Naruto, do you like everyone in the village?"
This was probably the dumbest thing Minato had ever done, asking a question to a child who was just over a month old.
So, after asking this question, Minato laughed at himself in his heart.
"...Um."
However, the Naruto in front of him seemed to understand and reluctantly gave a response in a very childish voice.
As if worried that Minato couldn't receive his message, Naruto kept nodding.
"Naruto."
How could Minato not be surprised by such a reaction? His thoughts were still uncertain in his eyes.
In fact, he seemed to have already had the answer in his heart, but due to certain considerations, he was unable to make a decision.
"Eeyah eyah"
At this time, little Naruto kept talking to Minato, as if he was telling something.
Seeing him like this, Minato's blue eyes suddenly shrank.
He pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally seemed to have made a decision.
"I'm sorry, Naruto, Kushina, I have to do this!"
