Chapter 102 - Insecurities

"No!" Izanami screamed, "No we can't begin. Are we just going to ignore the fact that I blew up papa's head and he is still alright? What just happened?"

Having been ignored by Shun and then Hinami and Ria, Izanami couldn't hold It any longer and view up.

"Sheesh, talk about overdramatic," Shun said from behind Ria. How he got there even eluded both Ria and Hinami who were already strong enough to not be sealed up against.

"Sigh, this is serious Shun, you could have given little Nami trauma, you know that, right?" Ria asked In exasperation.

"Psh, that's not possible. Nami-tan is a strong girl, this little thing shouldn't affect her, right, Nami-tan?" Shun said and looked toward Izanami only to see tears pooling in her eyes.

This startled him and he immediately put away his joking expression and flashed toward her.

"Shh, don't cry Nami-tan, what's wrong? I thought you were a strong girl?"

"Talk to me, what happened?"

Izanami stifled her voice and said,

"Sniff, I thought I mistakenly killed you, papa, to tell you the truth, I feel different. Since yesterday I've noticed that something was wrong with my body. When I woke up today, I mistakenly broke apart my bed, the floor cracked and everything I touched this morning was destroyed. When I punched you and saw your head explode, I thought I killed you. Wah"

Izanami said everything she held in her heart without holding back. Now, she wasn't the hyperactive little girl who was sure of what she was doing. Now, she was in a very vulnerable state.

Everyone's mood dropped and Hinami rushed forward and gave her a deep hug

"Shhh, Nami-chan, it'll be alright. Your father already knew something like this would happen. That's why he wanted to train you guys today. I'm sure he was being goofy to lighten up your moods so that you won't feel too burdened or something. C'mon, cheer up alright. I thought you were an adult now. Adults don't cry okay?"

"Also, from this place your father brought us, you could see he made it with you two In mind, right? Also, don't worry, I'm sure hell answer all your questions, right Shun?" Hinami said as she looked at Shun with a glare.

Shun shook and nodded vigorously.

"Of course, I would."

Looking her in the eye, he continued.

"I thought I told you previously that in heaven and earth only I can be called supreme. Why would you think your measly punch could kill me when your uncles haven't succeeded in that yet?"

"Also, I'm your father, anything you are passing through now, I'm aware, nothing is hidden from my eyes so you should always know I got your back, okay? Izanagi, you too. No matter how stoic you keep your face, your heart can never lie and I can feel everything. So you don't have anything to worry about. Both of you. Okay?"

Hmm," Izanami nodded while wiping away her years. Izanagi smiled and nodded for the briefest moment, but Shun still saw it and smiled.

"Grandpa is still stronger than you though. mama and aunt Ria too." Izanami quipped back to her cheerful and mischievous self.

"Hmph, Your Mama and Aunt may be stronger than me but they're special cases. Grandpa too is a special case, you'll understand when you start your lessons on chakra". Shun harrumphed and said.

Hinami, Izanami, and Ria giggled at the sight. Even Izanagi chuckled.

This time, everyone heard him and Hinami squealed and pulled him into her boobs for a hug while suffocating him.

"Kyaa~, look how cute my Nagi-chan is. Ne, ne, Nagi-chan, you should smile more for your mother, alright?"

Nagi pulled himself from Hinami or at least he tried, only to notice she wasn't taking none of it.

Accepting his fate, he gave a smile and said, "Yes mother."

"Kyaa~ My Nagi-chan would be a heartbreaker in the future. Look at that smile. I bet even Shun wasn't this adorable in his childhood."

"Oi! Don't bring me into this. I was beautiful in my childhood. The many ladies in the village can confirm it." Shun defended.

"Hai, hai. If you say so." Hinami dismissively waved his comment aside as she continued squealing over Izanagi.

"Sometimes, I forget you two are husband and wife," Izanami said in obvious disdain. She wasn't even trying to hide it.

"Gasp. Wha-what? What have you done to my cute Nami? Y-you... Are you an imposter? Ne, Ria-chan, something's wrong with my Nami- tan. Do something here."

"Sigh, alright cut it out all of you. I thought we came here to achieve something.?" Ria clapped her hands and generated a sonic boom that pulled their attention.

The noise immediately ceased and all eyes were on her. Her mastery of air was quite outstanding. She could even generate sound with just a thought.

'Maybe she could even develop sound ninjutsu with some guidance here and there' Shun thought while nodding his head in pride.

'It should be expected. She's gifted after all' Kaguya said from his mindscape.

'Right? That's my wife for ya' Shun said.

'Hmm.'

'What was that?'

'Nothing. Focus on your children.'

'Yeah, I know. Catch you later.'

Back to Ria, as she saw everyone's eyes on her, she smiled sweetly and looked at Izanami and asked.

"You wanted to ask your father something, right?"

"Hm. That's right, papa, how did you do the thing with your head? I know I punched you so what happened?" She asked.

"Oh, that? It's a simple application of chakra. I call it Cloning Technique. It was created by your uncle Indra and orrfecr and improved by me. C'mon, Praise me" Shun answered with pride.

"Yeah, yeah, you're the greatest. So how did you perfect and improve it?" She asked again after reluctantly praising him.

"Umu~ it good that you know. As for perfecting and improving it, it's simple. The original cloning technique is a technique where the user creates a body double made entirely of chakra. It has a physical body and mass."

"Me, however, went further to use the elements to create clones giving them special properties. I then went further to use my blood and wood to create the perfect clone which possesses flesh and blood. I call it The True Clone Technique. Like this."

Saying this, Shun flared his chakra and from the ground, a mound rose and took the form of Shun, the air condensed and formed another Shun, water vapor also condensed and took the form of Shun, lightning, and fire flared from Shun's body and condensed into him. Finally, Shun cut his finger and a drop of blood flowed out and took the form of Shun.

Finally, a wooden mound sprouted from his side and turned into him, subsequently, the blood and Wooden clone joined together to create a very life-like Shun, only much paler than the original, the difference wasn't that alarming though.

"So? What do you both think?" Shun asked.

The kids however were struck dumb as they looked at the various Shun with an expression of pure Shock.

This was the first time they were ever seeing Shun's clones. Shun's explanation of clones was just that, but they didn't get the exact meaning. Seeing this now shed a new light on their already illuminated minds.

"So, what do you think? The first clone was an earth clone, the second was air, the third was water, the fourth was lightning, and the fifth was the fire. The two others are the blood clone and the wood clone. There are various others, like lava, sand, crystal, and more, with time, you'll learn all this."

"Now, who is ready to learn!?" Shun announced loudly.
