Chapter 172 - 170 Naruto’s Blooming Talent
[Uchiha Madara: Looks like Naruto's got some real talent!]
[Senju Hashirama: Yeah, before this, the Nine-Tails was messing with his chakra control, holding him back. But now that it's not interfering anymore, I bet he's going to start showing his true potential!]
[Senju Tobirama: Well, it's not surprising. His parents were no ordinary people. Minato would be considered a genius even in our time, and Kushina was an Uzumaki. With that kind of lineage, it's only a matter of time before Naruto starts proving he's got the skills to back it up!]
[Uchiha Izuna: What a waste that Sakura ended up in Team 7. If Makoto had been in her place, that team would've been absolutely insane!]
[Hyuga Hizashi: No kidding! Just imagine, Kakashi, the son of the legendary White Fang, a guy famous as the Copy Ninja. Then you have Naruto, the son of the Fourth Hokage, carrying the Nine-Tails inside him and having Uzumaki blood. Then there's Sasuke, an Uchiha orphan and the son of the clan's patriarch, who's already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.]
[And on top of that, Makoto, who was trained by us. This team is ridiculously overpowered!]
[Senju Tobirama: Honestly, Minato may not have been as monstrous as my big brother or Madara, but when it came to learning jutsu, he was a straight-up prodigy! The Flying Thunder God Technique isn't something just anyone can pick up.]
[Back in the day, I tried teaching that jutsu to Hiruzen and Danzo. Those two idiots couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried.]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Can't really blame them. The Flying Thunder God Technique is a pain to learn. When Makoto was going through the Book of Seals, I saw the technique in there too.]
