Chapter – 583 Orochimaru’s Disappointment

Orochimaru's Secret Base.

Ram – Snake – Tiger After weaving the hand signs, Naruto shouted, "The Art of Body Splitting!"

Poof Poof

With a burst of white smoke, two clones appeared next to Naruto, one of them had some features resembling a fox, while the other was slightly thin, pale, and shrivelled.

But it didn't seem that Naruto cared about the little problem in the appearance of the two clones, because as soon as he saw the two clones looked almost like him, he was overjoyed and cheered, "Yosha… I finally learned it!"

Hinata also clapped in excitement, congratulating Naruto for finally being able to perform the 'Clone Jutsu'.

Only Orochimaru was different from the two kids, his expression didn't follow the cheerful and exciting atmosphere in the dark cave, and he looked as if he has swallowed a bitter fly.

Orochimaru has always been confident in his teaching abilities, and he has taught many outstanding shinobi throughout his life, including but not limited to Kabuto, Kimimaro, Haku, Tenzo, and many others… Even Kuroto, who didn't appear to be that naturally gifted at the time of his graduation from the academy has now grown into a character who can not be underestimated…

Therefore, Orochimaru is certain that if he is willing to teach someone, then they are bound to grow into extraordinary Shinobi… well, he had that confidence until he met a certain someone…

After meeting Naruto, and after he began to teach Naruto, Orochimaru began to doubt his teaching abilities… because learning just the imperfect 'Clone Jutsu' took Naruto a complete day!

That's a freakin' whole day!

Under Orochimaru's teaching, Naruto took an entire day to barely learn just the 'Clone Jutsu', and that too not completely… this is a bit weird to Orochimaru because in his understanding learning just a 'Clone Jutsu' should be an easy thing for even those with poor talent, not to mention those with good talent or genius aura…

You know, Kimimaro didn't even need to learn or be taught this Jutsu, all he was told was the hand seals, and BAM! he could effortlessly use the 'Clone Jutsu' on his first try, and not just Clone Jutsu, Kimimaro could even use 'Body Replacement Jutsu', and 'Transformation Jutsu' just after learning the hand seals…

Not to mention Kimimaro, Haku was also not much different, just after he learned the hand seals, Haku took only a few minutes to understand the Jutsu, and he was able to effortlessly use all three Jutsu…

Yet, Naruto, who in Orochimaru's opinion should be much more talented than the kids has taken up an entire day, but has been not been able to learn even the 'Clone Jutsu'… so this has made Orochimaru wonder, "Is he really the son of Konoha's Yellow Flash, and the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero?"

Although he lost to Namikaze Minato in the Hokage election and has some bitter feeling about it, Orochimaru, who is a very proud fellow still acknowledges the talent of Namikaze Minato and accepts that Namikaze Minato was the most talented shinobi he had ever seen.

Not to mention, Uzumaki Kushina, her fury, and horror were no less famous throughout the Shinobi World. She was an extremely talented barehand fighter and was one of the best Fuinjutsu masters in Konoha, just being capable of keeping the entire Kyuubi sealed within her speaks volumes of her talent.

So, Uzumaki Naruto, as the only son of Namikaze Minato, and Uzumaki Kushina should also be an extremely talented individual, yet he is not, according to Orochimaru Naruto is not only not a talented kid, but he is also an outright idiot with below-average IQ level!

At this time, Naruto excitedly approached Orochimaru and said, "Orochimaru-sensei, I have finally learned the Clone Jutsu!"

Ever since Orochimaru promised to instruct Naruto in Ninjutsu, Naruto stopped calling him Orochimaru, and started to refer to him as 'Orochimaru-Sensei', it was a complete one-eighty-degree turn in attitude, and Naruto was also being very respectful to Naruto.

Initially, Orochimaru was grinning inside when Minato's son was referring to him as Sensei, but at this moment, Orochimaru was not at all happy… Looking at Naruto's excited look despite, not actually perfectly learning the Jutsu made Orochimaru's face gloomy, and he chided in a hoarse voice, "This level is far from called 'learned' according to me!"

"Huh?" Naruto was surprised, and said, "But don't the two clones look almost the same as me?"

Orochimaru again glanced at the clones, one clone resembled a fox with a slightly orange face while the other one looked more like a mummy than Naruto, and shook his head in disappointment.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think internally, 'Perhaps… this kid doesn't have the talent to become a Shinobi…!'

From Orochimaru's point of view, if some can't even learn a basic 'Clone Jutsu' within half a day, then that person can be judged to be trash, not to mention Naruto who wasted an entire day, and yet he failed to completely learn the 'Clone Jutsu'.

Of course, Orochimaru can also see that whenever Naruto is trying to perform ninjutsu, the Chakra in his body is being influenced by the Kyuubi's Chakra through the gap in the seal, making it difficult for Naruto to perform the Jutsu, but for him, this is not the reason why Naruto couldn't learn even the most basic Jutsu even after practising for the entire day!

So, Orochimaru shook his head in disappointment, then turned around and walked outside the cave.

Seeing Orochimaru leaving without saying a word, Naruto was puzzled, and called out, "Orochimaru-sensei? Orochimaru-Sensei?!"

No matter how much Naruto shouted, Orochimaru gave no response and disappeared…

Orochimaru is the type of person who has always been impatient with idiots, and Naruto's character subconsciously reminds Naruto of the fool Jiraiya, therefore, Orochimaru is no longer that interested in teaching him.

As he walked out of the cave, Orochimaru ran into Kabuto, who asked, "Orochimaru-sama, how is Naruto-kun's training going on?"

Orochimaru initially wanted to say that he is no longer interested in training that kid, but after a little thought, he turned serious, and said to Kabuto, "Naruto-kun's ability to control his Chakra is too poor, so, the way he is at this moment, he is not suitable to receive my personal training… therefore, for the time being, you will be responsible for training basics to Naruto-kun, do you understand Kabuto-kun?"

"Huh?" Kabuto was stunned, "Me?!"

Orochimaru said, "This is an order!"

Kabuto hurriedly acknowledged, "Alright, I understand, I will do my best to teach Naruto-kun"

Orochimaru nodded, then looked around and said in a deep voice, "I am going to Konoha for the next few days… so the safety of the two kids will be your responsibility… You must ensure that nothing happens to the two of them!"

Kabuto said, "Please rest assured."

With that, Orochimaru no longer bothered to say anything else and disappeared from the base, and Kabuto walked inside the cave to start Naruto's training.
