Shadow Clones + Transformation = Information

Kakashi looked at Naruto with a surprise and asked.

"And, how did you notice that?"

"Chakra! Uzumaki clan was known for their sensing ability alongside their Sealing Ability. Over half of your Chakra Reserve has been consumed by your eye. I don't understand why you haven't tried sealing it."

Suddenly, Naruto looked at Hiruzen and asked.

"I am pretty confident my mother could've created a seal that would seal his eye whenever he doesn't need it. That way he could save a lot of Chakra."

"Mother?" Sakura's voice sounded surprised and confused. She asked.

"Aren't you an orphan?"

Hearing her words, the entire room suddenly became cold. Naruto and Sasuke were giving her cold glares while Kurenai looked at her with disappointment.

Hinata was fuming with anger as she glared at her. Kakashi and Hiruzen simply sighed. Only Kiba seemed to be confident enough to open his mouth.

"Sakura, Naruto doesn't come from an egg. He is an orphan but that doesn't mean he has no mother."

Only then did Sakura realize something and she quickly spoke.

"Sorry Naruto! I didn't mean it like that."

Naruto didn't say anything. As he slowly began to distance himself from Sakura, more and more of her bad behavior became evident to him.

"Anyway, I didn't want to seal this eye, Naruto. My friend gave it to me so that he will continue to watch this world with my eye." Kakashi noticed Naruto's emotions and quickly answered.

"Oh!" Naruto nodded his head.

"Team Seven and Eight, this is going to be a joint mission. It is B-Rank but it can reach A-Rank. Currently, the client has lied about the mission and it is classified as C-Rank."

Hiruzen explained.

"Is that so? Then, are we going to make the client tell the truth on the way?" Kakashi asked.

Hiruzen nodded and said.

"Yes! The client has offended a wealthy businessman who might send powerful shinobi to assassinate the client but his life is also very important for his village."

"Land of Waves's condition is degrading because of that businessman. And, this client has been trying to build a bridge to improve the lifestyle of the people in that land."

"Unfortunately, Daimyo seems to have a relationship with that businessman. Since he is a Daimyo, we can't just attack him so we must ensure that our client will finish building the bridge."

Hearing his words, Naruto noticed something and spoke.

"Are we allowed to take missions from the people of Land of Waves against its leader?"

"Naruto!" Kakashi and Kurenai immediately frowned and spoke at the same time.

Hiruzen shook his head and said.

"No, you mustn't do anything to Daimyo. Any assault against the Daimyo from the shinobi of Konoha could result in massive retribution on our reputation. "

Naruto nodded his head.

"Understood!"

"Alright, please bring the client."

Hiruzen nodded his head and called out. A few seconds later, an old man holding a bottle of alcohol walked in.

"Huh! Are these children going to be my bodyguards? I paid for ninjas, not children."

"Take that back, bastard! We are ninjas of Konoha." Kiba immediately shouted.

"Don't worry, Mr Tazuna. Your safety will be guaranteed by us." Kurenai spoke with a gentle tone.

"I hope so." Tazuna looked at the group of eight people and nodded.

"Alright, all of you have one hour to prepare. We will meet at the Konoha Gate." Kakashi spoke and disappeared with a swirl of leaves.

Kurenai looked at her team and nodded.

"You should've already brought everything."

All three of them nodded while Kakashi's team left to get their weapons and needs.

Kurenai and her team proceeded to take Tazuna to the gate where they waited for an hour. Surprisingly, Kakashi didn't arrive late this time.

"Alright, everyone seems ready. Let's go!"

Kakashi said upon arriving.

"Hey, where are your bags?" Sakura looked at Naruto and his team and asked with confusion.

"Storage seals!" Naruto replied while taking out a scroll and putting it back inside his upper cloth.

"But, aren't these too expensive for Genin?" Sakura asked. This time, she was cautious enough not to call Naruto an orphan.

"They are. But, if you can make one, there will be no problem." Naruto explained.

"You know Sealing Jutsu?" Sakura and Kiba asked in shock.

Naruto shook his head and said.

"Calling Storage Seals and Exploding Tags Sealing Jutsu is an insult to Sealing Arts. I have only started to dabble at the Art of Sealing. So no, I do not know any Sealing Jutsu."

At this moment, Kakashi spoke.

"Uzumaki clan was known for their Sealing Jutsu. They were feared and revered as the master of Sealing Arts. Fighting against Uzumaki in Sealing is just like fighting against Uchiha in Genjutsu. No offense!"

He said while looking at Kurenai.

"None taken!" Kurenai shook her head.

"But, why haven't we learned about the Uzumaki clan in our history listen?" Sakura questioned.

"Because idiots tend to think that they are stronger when they are only making everyone else weaker." Naruto interrupted in a cold tone.

He knew why Konoha never taught anything about Uzumaki Clan or even taught Sealing Jutsu.

"Naruto, you can't say something like that. That was the decision of the council."

Kakashi frowned and spoke.

"That's why I called them idiots. Tsunade of the Sanin is known for her eternal beauty and unfathomable healing abilities because she was able to create a seal that can store her Chakra and use it whenever necessary."

"Orochimaru despite being a criminal has mastered something known as Cursed Seal that one of our Special Jonin have. Jiraya is already known as a Seal Master."

"And, Lord Fourth managed to recreate and improve Flying Thunder God Jutsu, a technique so incredibly hard to perform that even our Third Hokage who has mastered every other Jutsu except Kekkei Genkai couldn't perform."

"So, excluding such a powerful art from our curriculum just to teach us a few history lessons is a foolish decision. Though I am pretty sure Old Man wasn't the one who made this rule."

Naruto said while putting his hands on the back of his head.

Kakashi and Kurenai were frowning while hearing his words. The other Genin were surprised and more interested in his talk.

After he finished, Sakura looked at Kakashi and asked.

"Sensei, is Sealing Jutsu really that amazing?"

Kakashi heavily sighed and nodded.

"Sealing Jutsu is really that amazing. According to Lord Fourth, you can do almost anything with Sealing Jutsu as long as you have enough mastery over it."

"But, it is also extremely hard to master it. Only the geniuses like Fourth who wasn't an Uzumaki managed to do that."

Naruto narrowed his eyes and thought.

'Only because my mom helped him. Then again, with her help, I have to admit that he was a genius.'

Suddenly, he let out a sad smile.

'Maybe that's why he thought I would be able to harness Nine Tails' power. I really do not know whether to hate you or love you, Dad.'

Yes, after a lot of study, he managed to find out about his parents. It wasn't that hard when he actually tried to look through some secret files.

Although his father's relationship with his mother was kept secret, many current Jonin still knew about that.

He was just sad that nobody actually cared to look after him even knowing that. He knew there were a lot of politics involved at an early age but at least, they could help from afar, right?

Suddenly, he shrugged his shoulders.

Even if they could, it's not like his life would've been any different. Those people would still hate him.

"By the way, I didn't expect you to know so much about Sanin. Where did you learn all that?" Kakashi curiously asked while keeping a solid eye on Naruto's face.

He wanted to see if Naruto would try to lie in front of him.

Naruto saw this but didn't care.

"Perfect Transformation Jutsu and Master Shadow Clones. You can do a lot of things."

Kakashi's eyes shrunk.

Kurenai also frowned as she immediately spoke.

"Naruto, some things are kept secret because they could create havoc. You shouldn't spy on deeper secrets."

"I really don't think that matters anymore, Kurenai Sensei. He could create over a thousand shadow clones. Finding out secrets hidden by the villagers is no big deal for him."

Shikamaru lazily spoke.

Hearing his words, Naruto chuckled and ran back to wrap his arms around Shikamaru.

"You really are my brother, Shika. You know me so well."

"Damn it, don't get so close." Shikamaru pushed him away.

"Don't be so mean, Shika. I know you will always speak for me." Naruto nudged him and chuckled.

"I won't. It was a mistake this time." Shikamaru shook his head.

"Yeah, yeah. Keep telling yourself that. I know you love me." Naruto continued to bother him while he continued to push him away.

"Naruto-kun, what did I say about you bothering Shikamaru-kun?" Hinata pulled Naruto away and gave Shikamaru a nod.

Seeing this, Shikamaru snickered at Naruto and quickly walked behind Kurenai.

Naruto practically shivered as he smiled at Hinata and begged.

"Hinata-chan, I was practicing teamwork with Shika, yes teamwork."
