Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Not good at learning, but good at research and development?
Konoha Village.
Perhaps because he became a ninja, the fox boy who used to run around the village has become a lot quieter recently, even making some villagers a little uncomfortable.
Uzumaki Naruto no longer felt inferior to his identity as a demon fox, and he did not care about the villagers' pointing and criticizing. He felt that he had discovered new fun.
The swirling red pattern on the back of the ninja vest...
Some small shops have spiral light signs...
Uzumaki Naruto looked at the pattern on the shuriken target in the practice field, and that familiar feeling came back. At this moment, it was like the instinct of the body, and a spiral cyclone floated in his palm!
"Rasengan?"
"Is this a ninjutsu..."
"You don't even need to make a seal..."
"It doesn't look very conspicuous..."
"It should be possible to add chakras of other attributes..."
"But it seems to be of little use..."
Uzumaki Naruto shook his head slightly, and pushed the Rasengan in his hand onto the tree beside him with some indifference...
Snap!
Unexpectedly, the hard tree trunk was immediately rubbed by the chakra flow of the Rasengan to create a round pit!
Uzumaki Naruto sat down cross-legged, supporting his chin with one finger, and glanced at the destroyed tree next to him, his eyes brightened: "Actually, I'm just not good at learning, but I'm a genius at inventing ninjutsu?"
Compared to the [Sealing Technique: Devouring] that was deeply engraved in his mind, the two ninjutsu, [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique] and [Rasengan], made him feel more comfortable...
There is no way...
Compared to that boring forbidden technique, the Rasengan and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique seemed to have been used thousands of times!
He had just used this ninjutsu!
Uzumaki Naruto gathered a chakra cyclone in his palm, adding wind attribute chakra little by little, and watched it turn into the shape of a shuriken: "Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"
"Indeed!"
"I'm not good at learning ninjutsu!"
"It's just because I'm good at inventing ninjutsu!"
While Uzumaki Naruto was frantically adding elements to the Rasengan in the training ground, he did not notice a sense of being watched quietly approaching.
In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen almost dropped his jaw in shock when he saw Uzumaki Naruto performing the Rasengan. "If I remember correctly, Naruto stole the Book of Seals a few days ago. Did he learn the Rasengan so quickly?"
The Rasengan was certainly not invented by Uzumaki Naruto.
The Fourth Hokage of Konoha invented the Rasengan and recorded the technique in the Book of Seals. Because the technique was dangerous, ordinary ninjas were not allowed to practice it.
Before Uzumaki Naruto graduated, he stole the Book of Seals. According to Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan, he should only be able to learn the [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique], but he didn't expect that the little guy also learned the Rasengan!
Sarutobi Hiruzen held his pipe in his mouth, and when he looked at the Rasenshuriken in Uzumaki Naruto's hand cutting through the big tree beside him, he held his pipe in his mouth unconsciously: "Fourth-generation, your son is really amazing... maybe even better than you!"
"Hokage-sama, may I come in?"
There was a knock on the door. After getting the approval of the Third Hokage, a ninja with scars on his face walked in and handed over a notebook respectfully.
Sarutobi Hiruzen bent down and took the notebook, flipping through it casually: "Thank you for your hard work, Ibiki, did your torture department find anything?"
Ibiki Morino, head of Konoha's torture department.
Since Mizuki-sensei abducted the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to steal the Book of Seals, and after failing he tried to betray the village and join Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen simply took this opportunity to send the Anbu to help clean up the spies in the village.
Morino Ibiki shook his head, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "Hokage-sama, according to your instructions, we have privately checked all of Orochimaru's former subordinates... We think there are two people who are the most abnormal among them."
"There's no need to pursue these two people."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, his fingers moving slightly, tapping on the table, and looking back and forth at the lists of the two ninjas for a while.
The first list contained information about a female chunin in Konoha. Her name was Mitarashi Anko, and she was once a disciple of Orochimaru. This woman always had mental problems.
The second list contained information about an ordinary Genin from Konoha. His name was Kabuto Yakushi, and he was once a subordinate of Orochimaru. It was said that he was born in the Konoha orphanage under the control of the "Root".
"I understand."
After bowing his head, Morino Ibiki slowly left the Hokage's office. As the head of the torture department promoted by Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, he would respect any orders from the Third Hokage.
No one expected this.
After watching Morino Ibiki leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression gradually became a little complicated. He once again took a look at the information of the Genin named Kabuto Yakushi, and said in a low voice: "Danzo, I hope you will not have any contact with that traitor anymore..."
The Third Hokage muttered to himself for a while and then put down the pipe in his hand. In fact, the Genin named Kabuto Yakushi had been under his surveillance all along.
According to his observation, Kabuto Yakushi should know something about Danzo's collusion with Orochimaru. Keeping this mediocre Genin can also be used to threaten Danzo.
After a long while, he slapped his forehead, looked down at the crystal ball on the table and said, "Hmm, I forgot to observe Naruto again... Rasengan is a very dangerous technique, nothing will go wrong, right?"
The picture in the crystal ball is empty.
During this period of time, Uzumaki Naruto has completed his training and returned home, because tomorrow is the graduation briefing of the Ninja School, and the graduating Genin will be divided into classes.
Iruka-sensei said, this is a very important day.
Early the next morning.
Uzumaki Naruto washed himself, put on his ninja forehead protector, and came to the ninja school and looked around: "It seems... no different from usual!"
Uzumaki Naruto turned around, his eyes subconsciously staying on a short-haired, white-eyed girl: "Hey? Hinata..."
"Naruto-kun?"
Hyuga Hinata's face flushed immediately. She looked at Uzumaki Naruto nervously and asked, "Is there anything...Is there anything...Is there anything I can help with?"
"No, I just feel something is weird..."
Uzumaki Naruto quickly shook his head, wondering why he took the initiative to greet the Byakugan girl.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly fell on the black-haired boy sitting next to him, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily: "Hey, Sasuke! Good morning!"
After saying hello, Uzumaki Naruto felt secretly resentful. Why did he take the initiative to greet this guy Sasuke?
"Are you okay?"
The answer he got was Uchiha Sasuke's cold and impatient look.
This expression was very cool in the eyes of girls, but it made Uzumaki Naruto feel sick: "Tsk, what's so great about you!"
"Humph! Idiot!"
"…"
No matter how many times, communication with Sasuke never went smoothly.
