As this was still night, he will need to wait until the morning to meet him. So he opened the book and and started talking but as he kept reading he was really shocked.
"Oh my god. Are the Uzumaki clan really humans. Is this method really for human use.
This method is really horrifying. Even with my current body, if I tried this method, I could really die. That clan must have an insane amount of physical strength. What a shame for such clan to be wiped out."
While Kakashi was reading the book for Naruto to teach him tomorrow . There was a problem going inside his body.
Exactly at his mental world.
" mmm, I understand everything but I still can't feel the space nodes."
Jack said after a while.
There was several steps in learning the flying thunder technique .
Theoretical Steps to Learn the Technique
Phase 1: Master the Fundamentals
1. Study Space-Time Ninjutsu Theory:
- Research Tobirama's notes (if accessible) and advanced physics concepts.
- Analyze how the technique bends space (e.g., linking two points via markers).
2. Achieve God-Tier Reflexes:
- Train reaction times to near-instantaneous levels (Minato's reflexes were legendary).
3. Master Fūinjutsu
- Learn to inscribe the Hiraishin Mark – a unique formula that anchors space.
- Practice drawing the mark perfectly (e.g., Minato placed it on kunai, allies, or enemies).
Phase 2: Create and Place Markers
4. Inscribe the Formula:
- Etch the Hiraishin Mark onto objects (e.g., kunai), people, or locations.
- Minato's kunai were specially crafted for this purpose.
5. Infuse Chakra into Markers:
- Channel your chakra into the mark to "activate" it. This creates a permanent anchor (unless erased).
Phase 3: Execute Teleportation
6. Sense the Marker:
- Use sensory abilities to detect your chakra signature in the marker across any distance.
- This requires extreme chakra sensitivity.
7. Calculate Spatial Coordinates:
- Instantly compute the vector between your location and the marker.
- Minato could do this mid-combat without error.
8.Channel Chakra & Teleport:
- Focus chakra to warp space and "swap" your position with the marker's location.
- Advanced users can teleport others or redirect attacks.
These were all the steps needed to learn the technique, but Jack stopped at the second phase . The first which stumbled many people was like a child play for him. The second step was different as he needed materials that he couldn't access to it . But he learned what he could for now and tried to inscript his mark on different places on the walls and floors but he couldn't feel them.
Minato was shocked by the progress he made but also speechless that this was supposed to be an easy step as the other steps were what really made the technique near impossible to learn but after thinking for a while he said .
"I think I can understand why is that . Jack although you doing everything right, right now you are relying on kurama chakra and normally this wouldn't be an issue as you just need the mark and the chakra but I think there might two possible explaination for this
one maybe because you don't have a chakra of your own that technique isn't working properly.
Second is that maybe because you are surrounded by kurama's chakra and the chakra in mark isn't different so you can't feel it. Like a drop of water in ocean, you can't know which is which."
Jack understood Minato's thought and couldn't agree more.
"Okay. Now, what should we do next."
Jack asked after understanding that keeping hanging on this technique wouldn't achieve any more results.
Minato said
"Well let's think of other solutions if you couldn't learn the flying thunder technique."
Jack thought for a while and said
"Although I don't think I will fail, but I think the best solution is to get in touch with Uchiha fugaki"
Minato and kushina were shocked and asked with surprise
"What?."
"Why him.?"
"Well, he is the only who is crazy enough to think killing a cloud shinobi envoy is a meritorious deed if has done in order to save the huyga princesse. At the same time I want to see if the third hokage dares to ask fugaki the leader of the Uchiha clan to kill himself just to appease the cloud shinobis and prevent war between the two villages.heehehe"
Minato and kushina were taken back but then Minato said.
"Although I want to save Hizashi , I don't want war to continue either. This sounds like a bad idea."
"Although I doubt that would happen as the cloud village doesn't want the war to continue. But it might not be a bad idea for the war to continue. Right now the upper echelons and the Uchiha is in a deep conflict that they can't control. The Uchiha is being suspected as the main culprit behind your death and the Uchiha clan is seeing itself as a victim of discrimination so to break the situation so we need a new enemy for them.
However you right in that we don't the war to continue, so here's what I will do.
I will send to fugaki a message explaining the cloud shinobi purpose and give him four options
First is that he can do nothing but he must know that I had evidence of giving him this message.
Two. Inform the huyga clan and gain nothing except some thanks from the huyga clan.
Three. Inform the Hokage and gain nothing, except doubts about your source for this information.
Fourth. Save her yourself and act like it's a coincidence but be aware that he might kill himself to cause the war between the villages erupt again but even if that happened, I think that the hawk faction needs something to vent their frustration on as I heard that they recently have been restless."
Minato went to deep thinking while kushina distanced herself from them as she doesn't like plotting or schemes while kurama asked.
"How do you plan to provide evidence that he received this information."
Jack said.
"While it doesn't matter as I'm pretty sure he will choose the fourth option but I can inform any Uchiha or normal shinobi with an ambiguous message like, cloud shinobi - mission - informed the Uchiha clan leader - ask to verify, anything to make someone goes to ask him about the matter and I know who we can try to tell Uchiha shisui, he is the ideal person for this as he is spying for the the upper echelons and will tell them but the upper echelons won't be able to do anything about the information as shisui will be exposed."
Minato after a while said .
"But what if Fukagu did nothing in the end."
Jack paused. Yeah, with fugaku character, it's really possible but after thinking for a while he said.
"Well, let's also tell him that shisui is a double agent for the Hokage and is transferring all the Uchiha clan meetings to the Hokage. At the same time tell him that if choose the fourth option we will tell him something regarding his son as he will be attacked by the person who caused your death without mentioning Obito name. But only tell him about his abilities if he choose the fourth option."
(The canon here will be that shisui is supposed to die when Itachi is 11 not 7 )
Kushina and Minato stood their with pain on their face . They still can't believe that such a kind hearted kid who they loved very much turned out to be their killer after turning dark by Madara plot .
"Now isn't the time to be grieving. What do you think about the plan."
Noticing the heavy atmosphere, Jack spoke to snap them from their current thoughts.
Minato collected himself and started to think about about the plan then said.
"Good, this will ensure that he takes action even if he doesn't want to."
The night passed and the next morning, Naruto woke up still happy about his heroic deed yesterday so he decided to treat himself to a ramen as a reward.
Along the way he was singing a ramen song he invented. He of course didn't notice that someone was following him a long the way and heard his song. That was of course Kakashi but after hearing his singing, his face twitched and then he disappeared.
As Naruto entered the shop , he saw a white hair young man sitting inside and Teuchi old man was cocking apparently for him.
He subconsciously didn't want to cause any trouble, so he sat down at the farthest place then said.
"Old man, give me Miso Chashu Ramen with chashu."
Teuchi noticed that naruto seemed to be in a good mood so he asked after acknowledging his order.
"Coming right up. Naruto, you seemed to be in a good mood today "
Teuchi looked at Kakashi and saw him paying attention to naruto.
"I saved a little girl yesterday from some bullies and she thanked me. So I'm rewarding myself with this meal."
Kakashi knew what he was talking about as he talked with the anbu monitoring naruto before trying to make contact.
He knows that yesterday, the huyga princess was being bullied by three kids and they beat him, but as you would expect from an Uzumaki, he kept standing up until the kids got scared and run away.
He knew that the time to make contact has arrived as he noticed from Naruto behavior that he avoided him when he was sitting and apparently doesn't have any intention to strike a conversation with him so he had to take the initiative.
So he said.
"Oh, then how did you rescue her?."
Naruto was taken back as this was the first time some random guy try to have a conversation or ask him about anything so he subconsciously asked after turning his head left and right to make that there's no one else here.
"Are you asking me?."
Kakashi also turned his left and right then said.
"It's only the three of us in here. And the old didn't rescue anyone yesterday."
Naruto couldn't believe that someone was talking to him voluntary and his eyes doesn't look contain the contempt and hatred that he saw in other people eyes.
After taking a moment he said in excited voice.
"I, of course, fought them and won. It was a one sided battle ."
Kakashi, who knows the whole story, knows that he was lying so he asked.
"Really, but why is your face is swollen then?."
Naruto subconsciously touched the place where the kids hit him at ,yesterday, but he didn't feel anything so he knew he was tricked but he didn't how to retort with a come back so he could only say excuses.
"Even they are stronger than me now, I will become more than them in future. It's only because they are older than me and were three against one. But in the end they are the ones that ended up running away."
Kakashi retorted.
"If it was me I would have definitely defeated them without them even touching my clothes."
Naruto was stimulated and kept arguing.
"Hey, I'm only three years old, they were five or six years. Of course they would be stronger. But when I reach six years, I will definitely be able to defeat them."
"Oh, but even if that's the case, I would still beat them when I'm only three. And don't forget when you reach 6 years, they will reach 9 years and you still will defeated again."
Naruto was speechless. According to his young understanding, even after three years , he wouldn't be able to defeat them. But as not to appear weak, he replied with a weak voice.
"As if you would be any different. If are as old me, you also would be defeated."
Meanwhile from the moment that Naruto entered the ramen shop, kushina was like an explosive barrel.
She knows that Kakashi was just playing him but she didn't like her child to feel defeated.
While Minato and Jack came to the conclusion that the third Hokage must have decided to send Kakashi in the end.
Kakashi saw that Naruto might cry if he continued to tease him so he said.
"Well, you still deserve a compliment that you stood up in the face of injustice. So I will treat you this time as a reward."
Naruto was surprised that someone acknowledge him so he replied happily.
"Hehe, this what I should do."
"But if you want to continue to face injustice, you need to be stronger do how about I teach you how you can get stronger."
Naruto asked with widen eyes.
"Really, can you teach me how to defeat them and have my revenge."
Kakashi immediately looked at him with a serious face and then said.
"No, I don't want you to take revenge but to protect the people from the injustice. Although they are bullies, they are still our fellow villagers. So you should try to convince them as a stronger person to change their way and be kind instead."
Naruto didn't understand so he asked.
"Why shouldn't I try to get revenge if I became stronger than them."
Kakashi knows that he must correct his way of thinking as to not let him lose his way in the future so he said.
"Because that's not the heroic way to deal with things. You see Naruto, you should try looking at the village as a big family and although you sometimes fight with your family members, you should always try to protect. This may be too much for you right now, but I want you to promise not to hurt our fellow villagers if I trained you."
Naruto knew that he if he didn't agree, he wouldn't teach him so he just agreed.
"Okay, I promise."
"Good now let's eat."
After eating, Kakashi took Naruto to a wide place and started to explain to him chakra.
It took a long time for him because he needed to be as detailed as possible and Naruto's young age and inexperience also didn't make his job easier.
The day passed quickly but Naruto still didn't even begin to extract chakra.
Kakashi told him to come here tomorrow early and to run around the field a few times until he meets here tomorrow so that they can continue their training.
Naruto was excited that he had someone willing to spend time with him so he agreed. Kakashi also reminded him to have breakfast before coming here.
The next day, Naruto, after having breakfast, came early to the training ground and began to run around. He kept switching from running to resting from time to time.
But as the noon time has come, and there's no sign of Kakashi who told that he would meet him at 8 clock, he realized that maybe he isn't coming.
He felt sad and depressed thinking that Kakashi didn't want to meet him again.
But just as he was about to go back home, Kakashi appeared with sleepy eyes in front of him.
"Yo, Naruto "
Naruto at first was shocked as he suddenly appeared then happy that he came but then he got angry as he was too late.
"Kakashi sensei , how can you be so late. You said 8 clock yesterday."
"There was a cat that was hanging on a tree that I was needed to help her."
Naruto easily fooled asked.
"Really, then is the cat alright."
Kakashi this time was speechless . How can you be someone be so naive, it also let him having a feeling of discomfort for lying to such kid.
"Ehm, well it's alright now. Anyway, did you run as I told you to."
Kakashi changed the subject as to not feel guilty.
"Yeah, I run all morning but I got hungry and saw that you didn't come so I was thinking of going home to eat."
"Well, there's no need. Here I brought you launch with me."
Kakashi said taking out a a scroll that had bento boxes and gave one to naruto.
Naruto was happy and took out the launch box and started to eat.
While Kakashi was watching him, he asked.
"Naruto, what's your dream?."
"My dream.?"
Naruto paused eating and asked with a confused look.
"Yeah, what's your dream?. For you to be a strong shinobi, you need to know what you want for your future self and you will have to work hard to achieve it. That's what we call a dream."
Naruto understood what dream is and it was easy to know what he wanted.what did he want to for his future self. Of course it's,
"That everyone acknowledge me, respect me and don't deny my existence."
Kakashi was shocked by the heavy words that came from such a young child.
Naruto heard most of these words from Hiruzen granpa who was teaching what the Hokage was. To this day, he still remembers the respect and smiles he received from everyone. It was this what he wanted.
Kakashi after staying silent for a while asked.
"Oh, where did you learn of such a big dream?."
Kakashi really didn't know where Naruto learned to say such heavy meaningful words from.
"It was when I was with granpa Hiruzen going to eat ramen. Everyone was greeting him with a smile and respect everywhere we go. At that moment I knew that this what I wanted for myself too."
Kakashi stayed silent for a while thinking about something then smiled and said.
"Then, your dream is to become the Hokage."
"Hokage?."
"Yeah, because only the Hokage is known by the whole the village and receive the respect by all village as he is the leader of the village and protect them all. So if you want all the village to acknowledge you and respect you, you should aim to become the Hokage."
Naruto then remembered what Hiruzen told about him being the Hokage and that he is being treated like that because he considered everyone as his family.
So he immediately said .
"Yosh, I will be the greatest Hokage that everyone is acknowledge and respected."
Kakashi laughed happily then said.
"Good, now that you have a dream , you will have to work hard to achieve it. So finish your meal to continue the training "
"Of course "'
After finishing eating, he started to train with enthusiasm. But he couldn't refine chakra today . So Kakashi told him that they will continue tomorrow.
Unlike the ups and downs in Naruto's heart, a heated discussion was going inside his mental space.
Kushina and Minato were sad because although their child dream was the same one as theirs, the starting point was something entirely different.
They wanted to become Hokages as to prove themselves but Naruto's was because of the loneliness.
But as they were also brainwashed by the will of fire before, they didn't think that there was something wrong with what's happening outside.
Jack however has a different point of view.
"No matter how I look at it, this is fucked up."
Minato and kushina looked at Jack with a puzzled look.
"Yeah, of course you wouldn't think that there's nothing wrong but using someone's pain that's caused by the people , who are his abusers and let him believe that he should protect them in the future is the definition of the Stockholm syndrome.
This is wrong on so many levels that it just disgust me and the same time confusing me."
Kurama and the others were taken back by Jack words. But kurama started to search about the Stockholm syndrome in Jack's memories then understood what he is talking about.
"Yeah, this seems to be the case. But Jack, why does it confuse you."
"Well, although I know that this a different world but manipulating young minds by any means is just wrong. The weird thing is that Naruto in the normal canon can overcome his darkness and accept all of this crap. I think this is borderline self abusing behavior."'
Minato and kushina stayed confused as they thy don't have kurama strong mental prowess that can review anything like a storage device.
Kurama seeing them confused transferred the meaning of Jack words through the chakra connection they share.
They immediately understood but Minato immediately disagreed.
"You might be thinking like this because you know how strong naruto will become in the future.but if Naruto is an ordinary person or shinobi, then you would consider it as a method of training in the army.
Also It's not like he didn't receive from the village any thing .At least it will allow him to grow up in a safe environment."
Jack disagreed.
"You have sacrificed family and your son future for them. So i say that you paid more than enough to at least ensure your descendants have a safe environment.
I'm not saying that Naruto should leave Konoha but if he received support and byproduct loved his village, he would automatically have a sense of belonging and will protect the village .
The end result may be the same but the path itself is different.
