Seeing Naruto's frustrated expression, Sasuke and Sakura both laughed. Sasuke smiles much more often now than he used to. Ever since the Uchiha clan was annihilated, Sasuke hadn't smiled once until he met Yoruha.
After the four of them chatted for a while, they got hungry and caught some fish from the river to grill. Sasuke's Fire Release had been reduced to a fish-grilling technique, which left him speechless.
Watching this scene from a distance, Kakashi and Yamato felt gratified. Yamato sighed, "Senior, that child's maturity really exceeded my expectations." Kakashi looked at Yoruha in the distance, his gaze softening, "I'm lucky he's my student."
Yamato chuckled wryly, "No need to emphasize it, Senior. I know he's your student." Kakashi didn't respond. Ever since Yoruha became his student, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke had all made significant progress.
Their strength had increased considerably. Moreover, Yoruha's training suggestions for the three were very reasonable. Now, among the three, only Sakura was still at the Genin level.
Sasuke had already reached the level of a Chunin, or even a Special Jonin. Naruto, without unleashing the Nine-Tails, also had Chunin-level strength. Even though Naruto had only learned the Shadow Clone Technique and Kunai Throwing Technique, along with some Taijutsu taught by Guy, his strength was undoubtedly at the Chunin level. And it had been less than three months since they graduated from the Ninja Academy. Kakashi mused to himself, "I wonder what jutsu Yoruha plans to teach Naruto?"
Since Kakashi didn't know which jutsu Yoruha had learned, he was unsure what Yoruha intended to teach Naruto. Kakashi had tested Naruto's chakra nature, which was Wind. Kakashi speculated that Yoruha might teach Naruto some Wind Release jutsu.
After a while, Yoruha and the others had finished eating the grilled fish. Yoruha stood up and looked at Naruto, saying, "Naruto, I want to teach you a jutsu." Naruto stood up as well.
Sasuke and Sakura also stood up. Naruto looked at Yoruha with anticipation, "What jutsu is it?" Sasuke and Sakura were equally curious about what jutsu Yoruha would teach Naruto.
Without speaking, Yoruha walked over to a wide grassy area. He raised his right hand.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all looked at Yoruha's right hand. "The jutsu I want to teach you is called the Rasengan, an A-rank jutsu." Hearing that it was an A-rank jutsu, Naruto's eyes lit up.
Even Sasuke was surprised. "An A-rank jutsu?" "Chidori is also an A-rank jutsu."
Sakura looked at Naruto with envy. Unfortunately, she knew she couldn't learn it; her chakra reserves weren't enough. Even though her chakra control was the best among the three, her chakra reserves couldn't compare to Sasuke's or Naruto's.
As Yoruha gathered chakra, a golden chakra sphere appeared in his palm. Several golden chakra spirals rotated around the sphere. From a distance, Kakashi was stunned when he saw the Rasengan in Yoruha's hand.
"It's actually the Rasengan, the Fourth Hokage's Rasengan. Is it too dangerous for Yoruha to teach Naruto this jutsu?" The Rasengan was actually considered a forbidden jutsu, and in Konoha, only Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya had mastered it.
Barely maintaining it. It essentially has little practical combat value because the Rasengan represents the pinnacle of chakra form transformation.
Therefore, it's not something that the Sharingan can easily replicate. After all, achieving the ultimate form transformation of chakra alone requires a long period of training. Not to mention, for most ninjas, they simply don't have enough chakra to sustain the use of the Rasengan.
Moreover, meeting the requirements to release the Rasengan is also challenging. Kakashi was surprised that Yoruha had actually learned the Rasengan and was even more worried that Naruto might be harmed by it if he couldn't master it. Forbidden techniques are labeled as such not only because they are difficult to learn but also because they are extremely dangerous, posing significant risks to both the target and the user.
Meanwhile, Yamato was stunned by the Rasengan's power. "Is that the Fourth Hokage's Rasengan?" "Even from this distance, you can still feel the strength of this jutsu." Kakashi frowned and said, "You can feel it not because the jutsu itself is so powerful, but because Yoruha has infused it with an enormous amount of chakra. This kid is being reckless; with such a massive amount of chakra, is he trying to mimic a Tailed Beast Bomb?"
Kakashi used his Sharingan and saw that the chakra contained in the Rasengan in Yoruha's hand was excessive. "Senior, should we intervene?" Yamato, standing nearby, felt that as Jonin, they should step in.
Kakashi shook his head. "No need, with him there, nothing dangerous will happen. If he can't handle it, there's no point in us stepping in." Kakashi wasn't saying this to flatter Yoruha but stating a fact.
The two of them combined weren't as strong as Yoruha. If Yoruha couldn't handle it, what use would they be? Kakashi had known since the mission in the Land of Waves that Yoruha's strength surpassed his own. However, Yoruha himself didn't think he had surpassed Kakashi.
Yoruha's impression of Kakashi was from the time of the Fourth Great Ninja War, when Kakashi wielded the dual Mangekyo Sharingan. Even Kaguya Otsutsuki suffered at the hands of Kakashi in that state. Yoruha didn't think he could match Kaguya Otsutsuki now.
Yamato, on the other hand, thought Kakashi might be exaggerating. After all, Yoruha was only 12 years old. Yamato believed that no matter how strong Yoruha was, he was at most at the level of a Jonin, not stronger than them.
But since Kakashi said so, Yamato didn't argue. He trusted Kakashi's judgment. Of course, this trust often led to him being tricked by Kakashi, like when they went out to eat, and he often ended up paying the bill.
On Yoruha's side, when he formed the Rasengan, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura were all stunned by the golden Rasengan. Naruto, in particular, was not only surprised but also excited. "Yoruha, is this the jutsu you're going to teach me?"
"This jutsu is called the Rasengan, right?" Yoruha nodded. "This jutsu is very suitable for you. The Rasengan doesn't require chakra nature transformation, only form transformation training is needed." Of course, Yoruha made it sound easy, but it was anything but.
The extreme form transformation alone is very difficult. It's not something just anyone can achieve. But Yoruha knew Naruto would definitely learn it.
Hearing Yoruha's explanation, Naruto didn't say much because he didn't really understand. However, Sasuke and Sakura did. Sasuke keenly picked up on a piece of information.
"This jutsu doesn't require chakra nature transformation?" Yoruha nodded. "This jutsu is a non-elemental jutsu." "And most importantly, it can be activated without hand seals, making it very suitable for Naruto."
Naruto nodded, half-understanding. Sakura agreed, "That's true. Naruto's hand seal skills are average, so a jutsu that doesn't require seals is indeed suitable for him." Naruto, who had just been nodding in agreement, twitched his mouth at Sakura's comment, feeling a bit speechless. "Sakura, do you really think I'm that dumb?"
Sakura just smiled without saying anything. Actions speak louder than words.
