Snowflakes were falling slowly in the gloomy sky. It was another snowy day, but for the people living here, it was a common occurrence.
A week had passed since the last time Haku's kekkei genkai was discovered by her mother. Nothing had happened during this week, and everything was as usual. This couldn't help but make Misu breathe a sigh of relief. It should be known that Misu had been on full alert for the past week. Once someone discovered Haku's kekkei genkai, Misu would immediately take action.
On a hidden patch of grass on the back mountain of the small village, Misu stood quietly in a black short-sleeved shirt, holding a bag in his hand filled with a lot of balloons. He was fully prepared to train in the Rasengan.
He had watched more than a hundred episodes of the anime in his past life, and of course, he had also seen the process of Jiraiya teaching Naruto the Rasengan. Naturally, he knew how to train in this ninjutsu.
His chakra nature had been tested by his father with chakra paper when he had just extracted chakra. It was Wind and Fire, which was already very rare. It should be known that most people only show one nature when they first extract chakra, and only after their strength increases to a certain level will they cultivate a second nature.
People who showed more than one nature as soon as they extracted chakra had extraordinary talent. Of course, it wasn't to say that those who showed one nature had bad talent. It could only be said that people who showed two natures belonged to the category of geniuses, but geniuses would not necessarily show dual natures.
According to Jiraiya in the original work, the Rasengan was a signalless ninjutsu developed by the Fourth Hokage. The principle was the same as the Tailed Beast Ball, which was to concentrate chakra in the hand, compress it within a small range, and create a huge tearing force generated by high-speed rotation to destroy the enemy. It forms a chakra ball the size of a palm to attack the opponent. Once hit, it can not only destroy the surface but also destroy the enemy's interior. It is a powerful ninjutsu that pushes chakra shape transformation to the extreme.
It can be activated instantly without hand seals and has great power. It is a very practical ninjutsu. In the original work, Naruto used this technique to unexpectedly defeat Orochimaru's subordinate, Yakushi Kabuto, in the early stages. Although it was due to Kabuto's carelessness, it should be known that Kabuto was a jonin-level ninja on par with Kakashi. If it weren't for Kabuto's carelessness, Naruto would never have been able to hit Kabuto with his limited skills.
Moreover, Naruto in the early stages didn't bring out the truly powerful aspects of the Rasengan. The power was secondary. There were many ninjutsu with great power, and the Rasengan wasn't lacking. The most terrifying thing about this ninjutsu was that it didn't require hand seals. When fighting enemies at close range, it could be activated instantly, making it difficult for the enemy to react. If hit, they would be either dead or injured, especially when combined with a fast ninja, it was a perfect match.
Naruto couldn't use the Rasengan with one hand and still needed shadow clones to assist in condensing chakra. The speed of using the Rasengan was too slow, and the movements were too obvious. Under normal ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) circumstances, it was impossible to hit anyone. If it wasn't for relying on shadow clones to lure the enemy, his Rasengan could be said to be very useless. In Misu's view, it would be better to grab a kunai and slit the enemy's throat. Ordinary ninjas also couldn't use shadow clones as freely as Naruto, because not many people had Naruto's terrifying amount of chakra.
But the reason why Misu chose to train in this ninjutsu was also because he valued the practicality of this ninjutsu. Great power was secondary. The key was that it didn't require hand seals. It should be known that battles between ninjas were instantaneous. The less time spent on hand seals, the better. Powerful enemies wouldn't give you extra time to weave them.
Another reason was that Misu currently lacked powerful offensive ninjutsu. He didn't have strong enough physical attack methods. Apart from powerful Fire Release techniques, the ordinary Fire Release ninjutsu and shuriken techniques of the Uchiha clan, although Misu had mastered them very proficiently, were okay for dealing with ordinary ninjas, but they weren't enough against jonin-level ninjas or ninjas with special abilities.
Although his Sharingan had also evolved to the Three-Tomoe stage, he couldn't expose it, because he didn't have enough strength to protect himself yet. It would be troublesome if he attracted the attention of some powerful ninjas, especially from Konoha and the Uchiha clan. Although the Land of Water was closed off, Konoha definitely had spies and scouts here. He didn't dare to gamble, and this was the Land of Water, where ninjas with kekkei genkai were taboo and were the targets of pursuit.
Moreover, the Sharingan consumed a huge amount of chakra. Although his current chakra was comparable to a chunin, it was not much for a ninja with the Sharingan and had no room for arbitrary squandering.
According to Jiraiya, the Rasengan was still an incomplete ninjutsu. It was only the ultimate in shape transformation, but it hadn't incorporated nature transformation yet. However, this was still too far away for the current Misu.
The first step in training the Rasengan was to condense chakra in the palm of the hand. The first step was quite simple for ordinary ninjas, but starting from the second step, it began to test the practitioner's chakra control ability. Under his father's guidance, he had already completed chakra control training.
The second step was an evolved version of the first step, requiring the stable and continuous release of chakra. For example, putting a water-filled balloon on the hand and then releasing chakra to make the water inside the balloon move randomly until the balloon exploded. Misu had also specifically run to the market to buy a bag of balloons for this purpose.
This step tested chakra control, but the third step was even more difficult, requiring a more solid ball as a tool. It not only required the continuous and stable release of chakra but also to materialize it until the ball was broken. The Rasengan at this stage could already cause damage, but the power was minimal. The Rasengan that Kakashi demonstrated to Naruto in the original work was this level.
The last step was to combine everything in front, condense chakra in the palm, continuously release and maintain it, and finally solidify it, forming a small, constantly rotating typhoon with extremely powerful force. This was the complete Rasengan, and it was vastly different from the Rasengan in the third step. The power in the third step was scattered, while this step completely compressed the power of the Rasengan within the ball, making the explosive force extremely terrifying.
After understanding everything, Misu gently sighed and then looked at the palm of his hand with an extremely firm gaze. "Let's begin!!"
