Ninja World: I'm really a support-type ninja

"Take this as a lesson. If you dare to talk back again, I'll take off your mask and reveal your beauty mark!"

"No, brother. I was thinking it was Minato-sensei, so I said a little too much." Kakashi admitted his mistake and offered a brief explanation.

It's not Kakashi's fault for being so quick-witted. After all, Minato Namikaze was their teacher and was bound to them to some extent, so it's normal for Kakashi to be careless.

"Alright, alright, come home with me."

Akira Hatake didn't pursue the matter further and led Kakashi home.

However, letting Kakashi off the hook for letting him slip up doesn't mean that Akira Hatake won't cause trouble elsewhere.

"Many things are interconnected, and our plan to have Kushina treat Minato to a good meal has also fallen through."

As he spoke, Akira Hatake seemed somewhat regretful.

When Minato Namikaze learned the true hidden ability of Akira Hatake's third skill, he was somewhat worried that Akira wouldn't have enough rest time, so he unilaterally canceled the Team 8 reunion plan.

This thwarted Akira Hatake's plan to feed Minato Namikaze a feast, which was a bit of a shame, but it's not all that great.

The reason I brought this up is to make Kakashi understand a principle: it's easy to cause trouble but hard to calm down; whether you're angry or not depends on Akira Hatake's mood!

"I was wrong, brother..." Kakashi followed behind with his head down, looking like a good boy.

"Since you're wrong, then you won't get any tonight!" This was Akira Hatake's true purpose. "No more tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you'll only have half an hour."

"No, brother! I really know I was wrong!"

"If you don't learn from your mistakes, you'll never remember!"

It hurts, it hurts so much!

Kakashi clutched his chest, looking at Akira Hatake walking ahead, his eyes filled with endless regret, while also harboring some resentment towards Minato Namikaze.

How can a teacher take something from their student?

What's more, Akira Hatake is his own brother!

But it was too late to say anything at that point, so Kakashi had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

When they returned to the Hatake residence, Hatake Akira went inside to rest, while Kakashi seemed possessed, frantically swinging his sword in the yard.

If you listen carefully, you can hear Kakashi occasionally mentioning a few names.

Tsunade, Minato Namikaze...

Chapter 83: Challenges and Inspirations in the Further Development of the Rasengan.

"The Rasengan is created by rapidly rotating chakra and using extreme chakra shape transformations to form a sphere that binds the rapidly rotating chakra. The chakra is then compressed to become even more concentrated, and when it explodes, it can cause considerable damage."

"This is similar to the Tailed Beast Ball, which is the most simple and unadorned application of chakra, and also a typical characteristic of chakra's all-encompassing nature."

"If wind-style chakra nature transformation is added to the Rasengan, then after the Rasengan explodes, it will possess the cutting and spreading properties of wind-style chakra, and its destructive power will increase dramatically."

"By the same token, adding other chakra nature transformations to the Rasengan will also change the subsequent form of the Rasengan, making it powerful and not to be underestimated."

"This is my vision for the future development of the Rasengan, but unfortunately, I can't do it yet..."

Another day of training ended, and Akira Hatake was drafted by Minato Namikaze, who explained his ideas for the future development of the Rasengan to Akira Hatake.

Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki truly lived up to their father-son relationship, sharing largely the same opinion on the future development of the Rasengan.

However, there are several points where Minato Namikaze is inferior to Naruto Uzumaki, which is undoubtedly a major factor hindering Minato's subsequent development of the Rasengan.

First, chakra level.

Minato Namikaze's chakra reserves can only be considered excellent. Although the Rasengan doesn't consume much chakra, if you add chakra nature transformation, the consumption becomes incomparable.

Second, overall physical fitness.

As a non-Jinchūriki, it's difficult for Minato Namikaze to avoid injury when incorporating chakra nature transformation into the Rasengan. However, once his hand is injured, how to recover and heal becomes a problem that Minato Namikaze has to face.

It's important to know that when Naruto Uzumaki was developing the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, his right hand was severely injured, and the meridians in his hand were completely destroyed.

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki took a long time to fully recover. Given Minato Namikaze's current physical condition, it would be a miracle if his hand wasn't crippled if anything went wrong.

"Is it because of the instability of the Rasengan?"

With his foresight and understanding, Akira Hatake succinctly pinpointed the essence of the problem in a single sentence.

“That’s true.” Minato Namikaze glanced at Akira Hatake with surprise. “You’re still as perceptive as ever, Akira!”

"Teacher, you flatter me. After all... I have learned the Rasengan and have a deep understanding of its properties."

Akira Hatake opened his palm, and a deep blue chakra sphere appeared in his hand. The small sphere contained destructive power disproportionate to its size.

“Although it’s not the first time I’ve seen it, every time I see the Rasengan in your hand, I feel ashamed of myself.” Minato Namikaze sighed. “It took me three years to develop it, but you… you only took less than half a day.”

"Teacher, please give me a break. I just copied the homework; I can't compare to you, a developer." This time, Akira Hatake wouldn't put on airs. Although Minato Namikaze said that, he was secretly proud!

Yesterday afternoon, during their respective training sessions, Minato Namikaze naturally taught Akira Hatake the Rasengan as agreed. Akira Hatake lived up to his talent and the ninjutsu talent boosts from his equipment, learning at an astonishingly fast pace.

It only took two tries to get it right, and ten tries to master it. In less than half a day, he could perform the Flying Thunder God Technique quite well, which made Minato Namikaze quite envious for a long time.

If Akira Hatake hadn't yet mastered the second stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato Namikaze would truly feel old...

"So, Akira, now that you know the difficulties in incorporating chakra nature transformation into the Rasengan, do you have a solution?"

After calming his mind, Minato Namikaze returned to the main topic.

"Have!"

Akira Hatake nodded, then pretended to take out the tortoise shell and three copper coins, saying, "When in doubt, just consult the oracle."

"..."

Minato Namikaze was speechless. He hadn't expected that the development of ninjutsu could be solved by divination.

But this was something Akira Hatake couldn't do.

He couldn't very well tell Minato Namikaze that the Tailed Beast Ball was actually formed by mixing Yin and Yang chakra in a 2:8 ratio, could he?

Given Akira Hatake's current status, he has no chance to come into contact with the Tailed Beasts, let alone directly state the mixing ratio of Yin and Yang chakra in the Tailed Beast Ball. Wouldn't that obviously invite suspicion?

Since Minato Namikaze's Rasengan was inspired by the Tailed Beast Ball, subsequent developments naturally followed the Tailed Beast Ball model.

The current Rasengan has the form of a Tailed Beast Ball, but it is severely lacking in spirit.

As for the missing part, that is naturally the power of the Rasengan.

To increase the power of the Rasengan, incorporating chakra nature transformation is inevitable, but as Minato Namikaze just said, this step is the most difficult.

The Rasengan is composed of chakra that has been rotated at high speed and compressed to a certain extent. It is then bound by the chakra's shape change to form a sphere, which keeps the Rasengan stable in the user's hand at all times.

This also shows that the Rasengan's fundamental structure is very unstable; otherwise, it wouldn't have that kind of power when it explodes.

If chakra nature transformation is added to the already unstable Rasengan, the consequences are unimaginable. Injuries to the palm are inevitable, and the arm may even be rendered useless in an instant.

Therefore, the Tailed Beast Ball, which is also extremely unstable, becomes invaluable for its reference.

The 2:8 ratio of Yin and Yang chakra is the specific and detailed ratio for incorporating chakra nature transformation in the later development of the Rasengan!

Yang Release is associated with vitality and stability, while Yin Release is associated with creation and explosion. Conversely, the Rasengan's chakra form transformation is associated with stability, while its chakra nature transformation is associated with explosion.

In other words, the proportion of chakra nature change added to the subsequent development of Rasengan will also be maintained at the value of "2", not a fraction more or less.

Wow…

The clinking of coins and Minato Namikaze's expectant gaze echoed each other for three seconds. Then, Akira Hatake looked at the divination symbols spread on the ground and began to make things up.

"Teacher, judging from the divination results, there are only two possibilities regarding the composition of the Tailed Beast Ball."

"Which two?"

"Yin-Yang Escape 2:8 ratio, or Yin-Yang Escape 2:8 ratio."

"This is related to the future development of the Rasengan..." Suddenly remembering something, Minato Namikaze danced around like a child, "Akira, it has to be you!"

After a brief moment of confusion, Minato Namikaze immediately understood Akira Hatake's intention in saying that, since Minato Namikaze was the true developer of the Rasengan.

"Let's get started!"

As he spoke, a deep blue Rasengan appeared in Minato Namikaze's palm, and the next second he planned to add wind-style chakra nature transformation into it, following the route given by Akira Hatake.

"Teacher, wait a minute."

Akira Hatake reached out and grabbed Minato Namikaze's wrist; he couldn't let Minato take such a risk.

After all, he was only guessing, and had never actually used divination to calculate it.

Besides, divination isn't that abnormal. Being able to get a rough estimate is already pretty impressive. To get a word in detail is something even the Dao Ancestor in Akira Hatake's previous life couldn't do.

"If we use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and it fails, we'll still have room to maneuver."

“I got anxious…” Minato Namikaze scratched his head awkwardly, then dispersed the Rasengan in his hand. “My strength hasn’t improved for too long, and I lost my composure when I saw a glimmer of hope.”

After saying that, Minato Namikaze formed hand seals and used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to create a shadow clone.

Meanwhile, Akira Hatake was not idle either. As he raised his hand, he had already attached the purplish-red buff chakra chain to Minato Namikaze's shadow clone.

Minato Namikaze's shadow clone smiled at Akira Hatake, then a deep blue Rasengan materialized in his palm.

Chapter 84 Hiruzen Sarutobi was very satisfied.

As expected, Minato Namikaze's first attempt at using shadow clones ended in failure.

Moreover, the commotion it caused was enormous; not a blade of grass grew within a five-meter radius, and the shadow clones naturally turned into smoke and disappeared.

Minato Namikaze clicked his tongue inwardly, glancing at Akira Hatake behind him with a hint of lingering fear.

If Minato Namikaze had personally stepped in just now...

Kushina Uzumaki is destined to remain a widow!

However, Minato Namikaze quickly regained his fighting spirit. It was just a shadow clone created by the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, which Minato could afford to consume.

"The Shadow Clone experiment just now tested the ratio of 2:8 between chakra form transformation and chakra nature transformation. This time, let's try it the other way around."

Reaching out to remove the grass roots that had blown onto Akira Hatake's head during the explosion, Minato Namikaze nodded to him.

"Ming, I'll need to trouble you again next."

"Hmm." Akira Hatake nodded, and after seeing Minato Namikaze create a shadow clone, he raised his hand again and shot out a purplish-red chain of chakra.

Soon, the azure Rasengan bloomed in the shadow clone's hand. The shadow clone, connected to Minato Namikaze's mind, carefully infused it with 20% of the Wind Release chakra nature transformation.
