章 6: Chapter 6: Shadow Clone, Spar and Genjutsu - Sharingan

Senshi, Kakashi, Obito and Rin were all sitting near each other in the classroom, waiting for the teacher. Kakashi asked, "Senshi, I heard that you're going to train with Minato Namikaze. Is it true?" Senshi replied, "I don't know how you know, but yes, it's true." Obito asked, "Who is this Minato person? Can you explain?" Rin added, "Yeah, I wanna know too." Senshi rolled his eyes and said, "Fine. He's a powerful jonin and possible candidate for future Hokage (Fire Shadow), according to Hiruzen. He apparently also has multiple strong jutsu." Obito said, "That's amazing! And you're learning from him? You're so lucky!" Rin said, "Yeah, you are!" Kakashi made no comment. Senshi was about to reply, when the teacher came in and everyone snapped to attention. The day went by relatively quickly, with a few lessons. When they all left the Academy, Senshi said goodbye to his friends and went to the training ground to meet Minato. Senshi arrived, and soon after, Minato did too. Senshi asked Minato, "Minato-sensei, what are we learning today?" Minato replied, "Since you are a prodigy, and have the Sharingan, I thought I'd teach you some jutsu." Senshi, giddy, asked, "What jutsu will you teach me, Minato-sensei?" Minato said, "I'll be teaching you the Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone) no Jutsu." Senshi said, "Another clone jutsu? I have my own." before performing his Kaen Bunshin (Flame Clone) jutsu, his personal clone jutsu that makes a clone that is made out of fire. Minato said, "There's a crucial difference between Shadow Clones and other kinds of clones. The Shadow Clones actually relay info back to the user. They can be used for recon, jutsu learning and overwhelming foes with numbers. Do you understand?" Senshi nodded, then asked, "Is it possible for someone to infuse elemental chakra into a shadow clone?" Minato said, "It is possible, but let's learn the basics first." Senshi listened and watched Minato as he did the jutsu. Senshi then performed the shadow clone hand seal and focused, then after a few seconds, created a shadow clone. When Senshi opened his eyes, he saw that Minato had his jaw on the floor. Minato broke from his shock and said, "They said you were a prodigy. Now I've seen it personally. No one has done this jutsu first time. You're a first. Good job." Senshi beamed in pride and asked, "Minato-sensei, what's next?" Minato thought a bit, then said, "How about a spar between you and me?" Senshi eagerly said, "Yeah!" They both stepped away from each other, formed the Seal of Confrontation, and rushed toward each other. Senshi drew his sword and swung. Minato blocked the sword swing with a triple-bladed kunai with a strange seal on it. Senshi thought, "That seal... That must be the teleportation jutsu that Minato-sensei uses!" They both leaped away, and Senshi performed hand seals and said, "Horse -> Ram -> Tiger! Fire Style: Yūdaina Hono (Majestic Flame)!" A ginormous burst of flame came from Senshi's mouth and went towards Minato at a fast pace. Minato dodged and created a shadow clone to attack Senshi with a sphere of condensed, spiraling chakra. Senshi dodged the clone's attack, but when the sphere hit the ground, it made a crater and the shockwave of the blast forced Senshi back. All of a sudden, Minato appeared behind Senshi, kunai in hand. Senshi sensed Minato and turned around, but the kunai stabbed his eye. Senshi stepped back, clutching his bleeding right eye. Minato gasped, as he didn't mean to stab his pupil in the eye, but Senshi just smirked, and disappeared in a puff of smoke, indicating it was a shadow clone. Minato heard Senshi say, "Burēdo-Ha (Blade Wave)!", turned around, and saw a sharp wave of chakra go straight for him. He leaped up, but Senshi was waiting, his lightning-charged sword raised. Senshi swung down with his lightning sword, and Minato blocked with his kunai. Senshi said, "Bad move, Minato-sensei.", to whih Minato replied, "How so?" Senshi then explained, "My sword is lightning-charged, your kunai is metal, and metal conducts electricity. Do the math." Minato thought, "No.. Can he conduct electricity!?" His question was answered when Senshi formed a half Ram seal and shouted, "Lightning Style: Burēdo Erekutorikku Kondakutā (Blade Electric Conductor)!" Minato got electrocuted through his kunai and was blasted back, only to poof into smoke. Minato then teleported to and kicked Senshi right in the small of his back, sending him flying. Senshi got up, and Minato was about to put a kunai at Senshi's throat to finish the spar, when Senshi did something strange out of instinct. His Sharingan activated, and Minato was in shock until Senshi shouted, "Genjutsu: Sharingan!", and Minato saw black.
