Chapter 136: What is His Limit?
Starting from Tsunade, Kizaru visited the clans of Konoha according to the distribution of investments made by Shikaku, one by one.
Of course, before visiting the clans, Kizaru first met with his own teacher, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen.
Regarding the investment allocated by Kizaru, Hiruzen approved it and actively requested him to visit those clans one by one.
This visit was not only to give benefits but also to express an attitude outwardly. Kizaru was the only heir recognized by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen.
After all, visiting every clan and every well-known elite jonin in the village in such a high-profile manner in a short period of time was practically asking for trouble without the support of the Hokage.
However, regardless of what those who were visited by Kizaru thought in their hearts, at least on the surface, they all showed great joy and honor.
During the friendly exchanges with Kizaru, they also expressed two main points.
First, they were very grateful for the investment allocated by Kizaru and promised to fully cooperate with the village's reforms.
Second, they subtly hinted that Kizaru was the most outstanding disciple of the Hokage and the future of the village depended on him.
Whether true or not, at least on the surface, Kizaru and the various clans and ninjas in the village cooperated to stage this large-scale political performance in a lively atmosphere.
With the perfect conclusion of this political show, Kizaru became the most popular and well-connected figure in the village.
Every day, walking to and from work, Kizaru would encounter many "acquaintances" who he could barely remember the names of.
Warmly greeting him, politely inviting Kizaru to dinner, and sincerely offering help in any way, Kizaru was always asked to find them.
Such social interactions might be uncomfortable for the other three disciples of the Hokage, but for Kizaru, who was born into a well-established family and aspired to obtain a stable job, it was manageable.
Although Hiruzen and Danzo often lamented why Kizaru, who was normally reserved, suddenly became so talkative.
However, in reality, Kizaru could handle interactions with these familiar strangers smoothly.
Seeing Kizaru's performance, whether it was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen, or the Hokage's aide, Danzo, they couldn't help but marvel at how mature Kizaru was, like an old fox.
"Wind Release: Super Spiral Flash Crush Rasengan."
Outside the village, in the training ground belonging to the Shimura clan, where they had just returned to the village, Minato was demonstrating his latest technique to his stepfather, Danzo, and his older brother, Kizaru.
At the mention of the name, both Danzo and Kizaru's faces became extremely strange.
With a scrutinizing gaze, Danzo looked at Jiraiya, who was standing beside them.
Although he didn't say anything, Danzo's intention was clear!
His obedient and sensible stepson, who had only been out of the village for less than a month, had become like this?
Knowing the plot and understanding that this was Minato's natural behavior, Kizaru knew it wasn't Jiraiya's fault, but he still looked at Jiraiya along with his uncle, Danzo.
Under the dual gaze of a stern mentor and an old cunning fox, Jiraiya felt a considerable amount of pressure.
With a wry smile, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Jiraiya quickly explained, "This is what Minato came up with himself."
At this moment, Minato, who had just finished demonstrating, happened to walk up to the three of them and heard what Jiraiya, his teacher, said.
Smiling and nodding, Minato looked proud as if saying, "Isn't the name I came up with great?" and said, "Big Brother Kizaru, I renamed this jutsu. Isn't it good?"
Nodding with a smile, Kizaru affirmed, "It's really good! It's very distinctive!"
"Minato, let's stick to Wind Release: Rasengan in the future!" Seeing Kizaru leading Minato astray, Danzo couldn't help but speak up.
"Father, I think..." Minato, who really liked the name he came up with, wanted to insist.
"The name is too long and may affect your combat. Danzo interrupted.
"Okay! Fine!" Understanding his stepfather's character, Minato didn't continue to argue.
"It's amazing, Minato!" Praising him, Kizaru walked up to Minato and rubbed his head.
"All thanks to you, Jiraiya-sensei, and Father."
With a sunny smile, Minato attributed his achievements to the three who had taught him.
Nodding with satisfaction, watching Minato, who was sensible, Danzo felt very happy.
"Hahaha!" Rubbing the back of his head, this was the first time Jiraiya had taken a disciple, and he had encountered such a talented one as Minato. This made teaching feel very easy for Jiraiya, who laughed heartily.
"Now that you've mastered the Wind Release: Rasengan with infused wind chakra, let me teach you an even stronger form of Rasengan!"
As Kizaru spoke, the three present all looked at him one after another.
The power of Wind Release: Rasengan was already very impressive, suitable for use as a finishing move.
"And Kizaru unexpectedly developed an even stronger form of Rasengan. I wonder how high the attack power and learning difficulty of this advanced ninjutsu will be?"
As an expert in Wind Release ninjutsu, when Danzo heard Kizaru's words, he looked at his genius nephew and began to ponder deeply.
Wind Release: Rasengan involves infusing chakra with wind nature transformation into a regular Rasengan.
Could the stronger form Kizaru mentioned involve not only wind nature transformation but also another form of wind chakra transformation on top of the Rasengan?
With this thought in mind, Danzo's gaze towards Kizaru became extremely serious.
Under Kizaru's guidance, Danzo had also mastered the Rasengan and Wind Release: Rasengan, so he knew the difficulty of these two techniques.
The basic Rasengan involves continuously flowing chakra in different directions and compressing it to form a high-density "chakra sphere."
Mastering such chakra control techniques is already very difficult.
If the stronger form of Rasengan Kizaru mentioned is indeed what Danzo is imagining, involving both wind nature transformation and form transformation on top of the Rasengan, then the difficulty of this derived advanced ninjutsu would definitely reach S-rank.
The talent and strength of his nephew were truly becoming extraordinary!
With a sigh in his heart, Danzo looked at Kizaru with anticipation as Kizaru began to perform the ninjutsu.
Walking to the center of the open training ground, Kizaru raised his right hand under everyone's gaze.
The rapidly spinning chakra sphere appeared in his hand, and under Kizaru's control, it began to undergo nature transformation and form transformation.
The volume of the chakra sphere began to increase, gradually transforming into a high-speed spinning shuriken shape.
"Minato, this is wind nature transformation!" Watching Kizaru's Rasengan transform, Danzo pointed out to Minato who was standing nearby.
Minato, listening carefully while watching Kizaru perform the ninjutsu, nodded earnestly.
On the other side, Jiraiya also watched Kizaru's demonstration carefully.
"Isn't it a shuriken!" Watching very closely, Jiraiya noticed the details and widened his eyes, somewhat shocked.
A shuriken?
Looking at Kizaru's Rasengan, which was becoming larger and more like a shuriken in his hand, Minato looked at Jiraiya, his teacher, puzzled.
"The shuriken is just the appearance. The real transformation Kizaru is using involves transforming the wind nature-chakra into countless tiny blades.
This kind of ninjutsu can completely destroy 130 trillion cells in a human body in an instant. It can be called the strongest technique of Wind Release ninjutsu!" Understanding, Danzo explained with an incredulous tone.
Wide-eyed, listening directly to Danzo's explanation, Minato was stunned and speechless.
"This kind of ninjutsu is really terrifying!" His mouth instinctively opened, and Jiraiya couldn't help but praise.
In the admiration of Danzo and Jiraiya, Kizaru's S-rank ninjutsu, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, was fully formed.
With a smiling glance at the three figures in the distance, Kizaru threw the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken into the sky. (A Rasengan with a completion rate of 100% can be used for long-range attacks.)
"Be careful!"
At the same time, Danzo and Jiraiya rushed to Minato's side to protect him.
In the sky, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken thrown by Kizaru, after flying a certain distance while spinning rapidly, exploded directly, forming a high-speed rotating tornado, destroying all the forests within several hundred meters!
Bracing themselves against the shockwave caused by the tornado, Danzo, Jiraiya, and Minato were all amazed by the terrifying destructive power of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
"Wow! It's really terrifying!" Standing in the center of the training ground, looking at the devastated forest in the distance, Kizaru sighed with a smile.
When the shockwave subsided, Danzo, Jiraiya, and Minato all walked to Kizaru's side.
Looking at Kizaru, who was smiling with his hands in his pockets, the three of them looked at him with amazed eyes and couldn't find words to speak for a while.
Where exactly is Kizaru's limit?
This was the most intuitive feeling in Danzo's heart. In the past, he thought that the First Hokage was Kizaru's limit.
But as Kizaru's performance became more and more abnormal, Danzo found that he could no longer see where his nephew's limit was!
