Promising the future ahead of time, starting with Naruto

Chapter 16, Roll It Up! (Please Read On!)

That evening, after dinner, Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but tell his family about the Water Release technique that Genichi Kinoshita had used that afternoon.

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "Father, how did he do that?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was silenced after being defeated.

Although he had the information and studied it, mastering it was not something that could be done overnight.

First, one must have a good grasp of the hand seals of the Nine Syllable Mantra, something even a ninjutsu professor like him lacks.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only say, "Genichi has a great talent for water release techniques and has a deep understanding of hand seals, which is why he was able to develop a unique way of casting spells."

“However, everyone has their own path. Asma, you are different from Xuan Yi. You don’t need to focus on how he did it, but you need to learn from his attitude towards cultivation.”

Sarutobi Asuma frowned; he was not satisfied with this answer.

What does it mean?
Genichi Shushita can do it, but I can't?
Sarutobi Asuma was unconvinced, even though he had been defeated by Genichi Kinoshita several times in practical training.

He simply didn't try hard enough; he wasn't inferior to Genichi Kinoshita.

"If Xuan Yi can do it, so can I! I will definitely do it!"

With that, Sarutobi Asuma got up and stormed off.

He's going to diligently cultivate himself!
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh as he watched.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke laughed and said, "It's normal for Asuma to be competitive at his age. Father, don't worry too much. He'll understand on his own after a while."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded helplessly. This youngest son was too rebellious.

Thankfully, Shinnosuke was there.

Biwako playfully scolded, "Hiruzen, don't always deny Asuma's ideas."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was even more helpless. Was it wrong to not let his son take the wrong path?

If you don't have the brains to do it, isn't that a waste of energy and time, and also a blow to your self-confidence?

……

On the other side, Genichi Shushita had dinner with his parents and then spent some time busy in his family shop before going upstairs to open the scroll containing the Four Symbols Seal.

Compared to the Evil-Sealing Seal and the Fire-Sealing Seal, this sealing technique is much more complex and profound.

Therefore, Genichi Kishita first studied it.

As for genjutsu and Konoha-ryu swordsmanship, they are not suitable for nighttime.

At 10 p.m., Xuan Yi under the tree fell asleep on time.

Even in his dreams, he was busy sealing the Four Symbols.

“Oh, I want to improve so much!”

Genichi Shushita woke up yawning and couldn't help but sigh.

Who else works this hard even when they're cheating?

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Genichi Kishita came to Minato Namikaze's house.

As expected, it was Kushina Uzumaki who opened the door.

"Kushina-neechan!"

Genichi greeted her with a smile, then entered the room with practiced ease, carrying the dumplings and snacks he had brought.

Kushina Uzumaki followed behind and asked with a smile, "Xuan Yi, I heard you've already mastered the Fire Sealing Seal. Not bad! It seems you have a real talent for sealing techniques!"

Genichiro put his things down and laughed, "Compared to you guys, Minato-nii and Kushina-neechan, I'm still far behind!"

Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "Genichi, don't be modest. I've heard that even the Third Hokage admits that your Water Release is inferior to his."

Genichi Kinoshita quickly changed the subject: "Um, Minato-nii, has there been any progress in the further development of the Rasengan?"

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki exchanged a glance, then looked somewhat embarrassed.

Kushina Uzumaki covered her mouth and laughed, "Minato has been too busy lately and hasn't had time to think."

Ok!

Genichi Shushita sighed helplessly. For Minato Namikaze at this point, the Rasengan was indeed enough; he was probably still focusing all his attention on sealing techniques.

Of course, there should also be Flying Thunder God.

"Xuan Yi, do you already have an idea?" Minato Namikaze asked curiously.

He believed in Genichi Kinoshita's intelligence.

Genichiro nodded: "Brother Minato, I do have some ideas, and I think they are very suitable for you."

As he spoke, he took out a small shuriken, which had four sharp points and was hollow in the middle. He put it on his finger and with a slight movement, the shuriken immediately began to spin at high speed.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki watched, seemingly lost in thought.

"Xuanyi, do you mean to further change its shape, making it resemble a shuriken, and then throw it?"

Minato Namikaze asked.

Genichi stopped spinning his shuriken under the tree and snapped his fingers: "As expected of Brother Minato!"

"Yes, that's exactly it."

"However, it is not simply a change in form; a simple change in form is very difficult to achieve."

"We must incorporate Wind Release nature transformation."

"I've already thought of a name for this ninjutsu: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken?
Minato Namikaze thought about it for a moment, and although the name didn't fit his style, it sounded strangely nice.

Kushina Uzumaki clapped her hands in praise: "What a brilliant idea, as expected of Genichi."

She reached out and ruffled Genichi's hair under the tree: "I really don't know how your brain works, that you actually came up with such a ninjutsu."

Genichi smiled and said, "You just need to observe carefully."

Just a little bit of showmanship.

"It is indeed a very promising ninjutsu, but it must be extremely difficult to master."

Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "It seems I'll have to work even harder from now on."

Genichiro nodded: "The development of this technique can only rely on you, Minato-nii. I don't have the Wind Release attribute, so it's very difficult for me to learn Wind Release Nature Transformation, let alone apply it. The difficulty of developing this technique is ten thousand times greater than for you, Minato-nii."

"By the way, let's get Jiraiya-sensei involved in the development too. There's strength in numbers."

"Moreover, I think this technique is also very suitable for him."

Although Jiraiya did not take on any disciples, he did teach Genichiro Kinoshita the Seal Technique, so it's not wrong to call him "Master Jiraiya".

Minato Namikaze smiled and nodded, readily agreeing, "I will pass this on to Jiraiya-sensei."

Although Jiraiya was wandering outside, he could still communicate with the toads.

After discussing the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, Genichi Kishita took out his notebook and began asking Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki about the Four Symbols Seal.

Over the past six months, he has studied the Four Symbols Seal in depth, but he still hasn't fully mastered it, so he naturally needs to learn from Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

With such a great resource, of course we have to be shameless and not let it pass us by.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were generous in offering their guidance.

They also treated each other with sincerity.

After having lunch at Minato Namikaze's house and staying for another half hour, Genichi Kishita finally took his leave.

After he left, Minato Namikaze said to Kushina Uzumaki, "Kushina, what do you think about giving Genichi a ninjutsu?"

Kushina Uzumaki nodded: "Sure, but what kind of ninjutsu should I send?"

"Sealing Technique?"

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment and smiled, "There's no rush. Xuan Yi is still a student and is currently learning the Four Symbols Seal. Let's wait until he finishes learning the Four Symbols Seal."

Kushina Uzumaki laughed and said, "That will probably take quite a while. If Xuan Yi wants to completely master the Four Symbols Seal, at the current speed, it will probably take another two or three years."

Minato Namikaze said, "That's already very fast; he's not even seven years old yet!"

Kushina Uzumaki sighed upon hearing this, "Yes, I almost forgot his age."

"This kid is really intimidating. Luckily, he's not in our cohort, hahaha!"

Minato Namikaze smiled knowingly upon hearing this.

Indeed, Genichi under the tree is too frivolous.

If he were in the same period as him, Minato Namikaze would also feel immense pressure.
