23: Chapter 23 Rapid Increase in StrengthIn the morning mist of Konoha Village, patrolling ninjas moved through the streets like ghosts, their footsteps light and swift, leaving no trace.
As the espionage incident unfolded, every corner of the village was under close surveillance, and even the usually overlooked secluded alleys were now under the watchful eyes of the ANBU ninjas.
"Captain, is it really necessary to take care of even these little corners?There are hardly any people here usually!"
A rookie ninja who had just joined the Anbu couldn't help but complain to his captain.
"Shut up.The location where the incident happened wasn't very crowded for us either.What's done is done.All we can do is try our best to prevent similar incidents from happening again!"
The eyes of the leader of the dark forces revealed vigilance and determination; no slightest movement could escape his notice.
at the same time.
The Uchiha clan's security personnel were particularly busy during this incident.
Their figures frequently appeared under the cover of night, and every member of the tribe was mobilized to participate in patrols and investigations.
Due to the spy incident, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally sought out Fugaku Uchiha, the current head of the Uchiha clan.
He expressed his hope that the Uchiha clan would increase patrols to protect the village's safety.
Originally, the Uchiha clan did not have a good relationship with the village, and there were even voices of rebellion within the Uchiha clan.
As the head of the Uchiha clan, he naturally couldn't just watch them go to their deaths.
This mission presented a good opportunity to ease tensions between the Uchiha clan and the villagers of Konoha, so Fugaku Uchiha readily agreed.
However, this sudden mission disrupted the lives of the Uchiha clan members of the Konoha Police Force, replacing their peaceful daily routines with tense patrols.
Some Uchiha clan members began to complain, feeling exhausted and dissatisfied with this sudden change, feeling that Konoha was unilaterally exploiting their labor for the sake of that fabricated spy incident.
However, many peace-loving Uchiha clan members silently took on the responsibility, knowing that as long as they patrolled diligently, they could salvage the Uchiha clan's negative image among the villagers.
In this tense atmosphere, Naruto's friends could only stay at home.
The parents of each large family naturally understood the impact of this incident better than other villagers.
It's not just a spy incident; there's also a taijutsu master of at least Jonin level who's been hidden in Konoha Village without being discovered, and yet no clues have been found.
Their parents, worried about their children's safety, did not allow them to go out until the commotion subsided.
"I'm going to go play with Naruto, right, Akamaru!" Kiba Inuzuka rolled around on the floor at home, and even the usually well-behaved Akamaru barked a few times in agreement.
"Naruto, what are you doing right now?" Ino asked absentmindedly as she helped out at the family's flower shop, wondering what Naruto might be up to.
"Delicious, so delicious!Has Naruto eaten yet?Next time I must surpass Naruto and eat more than him!" Choji thought of Naruto while he was eating grilled meat with gusto.
"So troublesome, so troublesome.It's so great not having to go out." This is Shikamaru.He's always been too lazy to go out.Every time he goes out to play with his friends, his mom forces him to.Although playing with them is fun, he still hates the hassle!
This espionage incident has brought joy to some and sorrow to others!
Naruto had nothing to do at home alone.The spy incident restricted his movements, and he could no longer wander around the village as freely as before.
The number of secret agents monitoring him near his home has increased again.Compared to the previous surveillance, the current focus is more on protecting his safety, since the safety of a Jinchūriki is still very important after such an incident.
However, this did not stop him from sneaking out every night to train in even more remote places.
For safety, he had to use the Shadow Clone Technique and activate Kagura's Mind's Eye to keep watch, ensuring that no one would discover his secret training.
During this time, without being disturbed by others, Naruto devoted all his energy to training.
Naruto first trained in taijutsu for a period of time to solidify his foundation.
He knew that as a ninja, strong taijutsu was essential."I may not use it in battle, but I cannot be without it."
His body became stronger through training, and every punch and kick was full of power.
His movements became faster and more precise, and his reactions became more agile.
In his battles against the shadow clones, he constantly pushed his limits, and each fall only made him stand up more resolutely and continue fighting.
After a period of taijutsu training, Naruto's taijutsu skills have also reached a considerably advanced level.
So Naruto resumed his ninjutsu training.
Naruto began training his two newly acquired ninjutsu: the C-rank Wind Release: Great Breakthrough and the C-rank Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique.
With Naruto's immense talent and the help of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, he easily learned these two ninjutsu.
It didn't take much time.
Moreover, he discovered that as long as more chakra was injected, these two ninjutsu could unleash even greater power.With more chakra invested, the destructive power of these two C-rank ninjutsu could at least rival that of B-rank ninjutsu.
No wonder in the original story, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Madara Uchiha used a B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu, Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation.He unleashed a vast expanse of flames, like a sea, over an extremely large area.
Power comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu!The Allied Shinobi Forces exhausted over twenty Kirigakure ninja simultaneously using water.The defensive barrier managed to withstand Ban's powerful fire and extinguish it.
Having a large amount of chakra really allows you to do whatever you want.
This gives Naruto more options and flexibility in battle.
He began to try combining the two ninjutsu techniques to create new attack methods.
Just as fire is fueled by the wind, proper chakra allocation can double the power of his combination ninjutsu.
His attacks became more varied and unpredictable.
After mastering ninjutsu, Naruto felt that his ninjutsu repertoire was still missing a powerful one.
They lacked the kind of ninjutsu that could kill with a single blow.
He thought of his signature move from the original work, the Rasengan.
This ninjutsu, created by the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze by drawing inspiration from the Tailed Beast Ball, is renowned for its powerful force and unique form.
When Naruto thought about wanting to learn the Rasengan.
"Ding, system task issued.Please successfully learn the Rasengan."
The Rasengan was a ninjutsu that Naruto wanted to learn, and now he gets an extra mission reward—how wonderful!
The Rasengan, this move.The user does not need to form hand seals, and can use one hand, two hands, or three hands.
There is no essential difference; it's just a difference in the user's control over chakra.The Fourth Hokage, Kakashi, and Jiraiya could all use it with one hand.
In the original work, Naruto's control abilities were relatively weak in the early stages, requiring the help of "others," namely his shadow clones.It seems that the more hands he used, the easier it was to gather chakra, and the more powerful his Rasengan became.
When beginners, like Naruto in the original work, first start learning, they must use both hands.One hand is placed to prepare to condense a chakra ball, while the other hand pushes back and forth on the hand preparing to condense chakra, releasing chakra from both hands simultaneously until a chakra ball is formed.
If one can further improve their chakra control, they will be able to release chakra and control it properly using only one hand, thus mastering this technique.
To learn the Rasengan, there are three stages.
The first stage involves releasing chakra into a part of the body, such as the feet or hands.Kakashi taught Naruto and the others this, and they learned it successfully.
The second stage involves continuously releasing a certain amount of chakra, a further step in the first stage of practice.
The third stage involves practicing with water balloons.This involves maintaining the released chakra and materializing it until you can pop the balloon.After completing this stage, the Rasengan can cause damage, but only very minor surface injuries.
In the final stage, combine everything from before, gather chakra in your hands, continuously release and maintain it, and finally solidify it into a small typhoon.
This move instantly becomes incredibly powerful, not only causing greater surface damage but also penetrating into the enemy's body to destroy their internal structure.
However, the Rasengan has a drawback: it can only attack in a straight line.But it also has a great advantage: it doesn't require a lot of chakra.
Moreover, the more chakra injected, the greater the power.
Naruto purchased the necessary materials based on the training methods he remembered.
He began to train in the Rasengan, a process that was not easy and required extremely high control and precise manipulation of chakra.
Naruto has great talent, and without Kurama's interference, his training has been relatively successful.
Naruto and his shadow clones tried again and again, failing repeatedly, and then trying again and again.
Their palms became red and swollen from the rapid rotation of chakra, but they did not give up.
After each failure, Naruto would carefully reflect on the reasons for the failure, then adjust his methods and try again.
After countless failures and efforts, Naruto had lost count of how many shadow clones he had created.
But Naruto finally found his rhythm.
"It's here, it's here, I feel it!My Rasengan is about to be completed!" Naruto instantly became very excited.
He felt the chakra forming a stable rotation in his hand, which became faster and tighter, eventually forming an almost perfect spiral shape.
He successfully created a small Rasengan, although its power is not yet comparable to that of the Fourth Hokage, but this is only because Naruto is still in the exploratory stage and has not yet infused it with too much chakra.
After successfully unleashing the Rasengan, Naruto didn't rush to rest.
He knew that one should strike while the iron is hot.So Naruto continued his training, constantly improving the power and stability of the Rasengan.
His shadow clones were doing the same thing, with batches of multiple shadow clones constantly disappearing and being born.
As Naruto's experience grew, he became more and more adept at mastering this move.
As time went on, Naruto became more and more proficient in mastering the Rasengan, and he was able to control this powerful ninjutsu at will.
Now, unlike in the original story, he no longer needs the help of shadow clones to successfully use the Rasengan.
Naruto can condense chakra in his hand very quickly whenever he wants, and a Rasengan can be formed almost instantly.
As Naruto's chakra continues to be injected, the Rasengan will grow larger and larger.
Although it's an A-rank ninjutsu, its destructive power is far beyond that level!
As Naruto's strength continued to improve, he also became more and more confident.
In a few years, I'll be able to dominate the ninja world!
After this period of training, Naruto has become more mature and composed.
As time passed and the spy incident gradually subsided, Konoha Village returned to its former tranquility.
It seems like nothing has changed, yet it seems like everything is slowly changing!
"Congratulations, host!You have successfully completed the mission and mastered the Rasengan!"
"Congratulations, host!You have received a reward: the Hyuga clan bloodline!"
"I knew it.With one more bloodline, all the bloodlines in my body could be combined.""Get up and play mahjong!" Naruto was very satisfied with this reward.
But at the same time, I had some doubts.
"System, I have a question.I currently possess both the bloodline of the Uchiha clan and the bloodline of the Hyuga clan.If I also have the Byakugan and the Sharingan, will they conflict, or can I only switch between them?"
Naruto raised his own question.
"To answer the host, once the ninja bloodline within the host is fully fused, the host's eyes will also fuse.If the host wishes, the host can activate the Sharingan while activating the Byakugan, and even after the host obtains the Rinnegan and Tenseigan, the two can be activated simultaneously."
"The host will retain the special abilities of the activated eye!"
"Holy crap, System, do you really want me to be invincible?"
After obtaining the Hyuga clan's bloodline, Naruto quietly returned home and began to catch up on his sleep.
Each time a new bloodline is acquired, the body needs a period of time to integrate it.
I'm used to it!Time to sleep!
