Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 380 Fang Yu's wish is actually to become a host?

The nights in Kamar-Taj always carry an air of mystery.

Stephen Fang stood in front of the Ancient One's residence, as if it were three in the morning, and knocked three times.

The door opened automatically.

There were no lights inside, only a few candles flickering in the breeze, casting dancing shadows.

Gu Yi sat cross-legged at the stone table in the center of the courtyard, with a tea set in front of him, steam rising from the spout of the teapot.

"You've arrived," Gu Yi said without turning around. "Come in, the tea is just ready."

Stephen walked into the courtyard and noticed that the Ancient One was not wearing her signature yellow robes tonight, but a simple white linen dress, making her look almost like an ordinary person.

“You knew I was coming.” Stephen sat down on the stone bench opposite the Ancient One.

The Ancient One finally looked up, her eyes appearing exceptionally deep in the candlelight. "Like knowing the sun will rise in the morning." She poured Stephen a cup of tea. "I know you have many questions."

The aroma of tea filled the air between the two men. Stephen stared at the swirling tea leaves in his cup and asked directly, "You've protected the Earth for centuries, why choose to retire now?"

Gu Yi gently blew on her tea. "Have you ever seen autumn leaves, Stephen? They fall at their most beautiful moment, not because they are weakening, but because they have completed their mission for the season."

Stephen frowned. "Earth still needs the protection of the Sorcerer Supreme."

“The Earth will always need protection.” Gu Yi took a sip of tea. “But the protectors need to be replaced. I have lived too long, Stephen. Time is no longer a linear stream to me, but a vast ocean where I can see both the source and the estuary at the same time.”

Stephen's fingers unconsciously traced the rim of the teacup. "So you're planning to fake your death?"

The Ancient One's gaze passed over Stephen and looked towards the distant snow-capped mountains. "Death is the end for most people, but for me it's just a transition. I foresaw that moment, but the details don't matter."

Upon hearing this, Stephen Fang finally understood.

The Ancient One is going to fake her death. If the world faces a major problem that current superheroes can't solve, and it threatens to destroy the Earth, she might just kick open her coffin and come back to life.

"Alright, since you're determined to leave, there's nothing I can say. So, you're comfortable leaving everything to Strange? That slightly paranoid surgeon?"

"No, of course not, that's why I wanted to see you, Stephen."

Gu Yi lightly raised her finger, and a book floated over. "After I leave, if you want to learn, no one can stop you, so I might as well just give it to you."

He took the book, flipped through it casually, and saw that the illustrations were all spells used by Doctor Strange. He immediately gave them to the Ancient One.
I had another cup of tea!

"I will live up to everyone's expectations and protect the Earth!"

Gu Yi smiled faintly; the future was just around the corner.

She saw countless endings depicting Stephen Fang colluding with Hydra.

However, she didn't point it out.

Everything is understood without words.
--------

On the training field, Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals, and the Rasengan in his palm suddenly burst out with a blazing red light!
"Watch closely, you brats!" He leaped into the air, laughing loudly, his long white hair dancing wildly in the wind. "This is the Rasengan with nature transformation incorporated!"

"Haoyan Rasengan!"

The Rasengan was wreathed in raging flames, and Jiraiya held it like a fiery meteor as it slammed into the earthen wall at the edge of the training ground!

"boom!!!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, a charred crater was blasted into the earthen wall, sending debris flying and a wave of heat sweeping across the entire site!

Naruto and Boruto both widened their eyes, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.

"Wow, amazing!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly, waving his arms and legs. "You can use the Rasengan like that?!"

Boruto stared intently at the lingering flame, muttering, "Is this a combination of Fire Release and Rasengan?" Jiraiya landed gracefully, turning back to grin at the two of them: "So? Want to learn?"

Naruto instantly pounced on Jiraiya and hugged his leg: "Teach me! Perverted Sage! I must learn this move!"

Boruto wasn't to be outdone, clenching his fist: "I want one too! This is way cooler than the regular Rasengan!"

Jiraiya smugly touched his nose: "Hehe, this is my signature technique! But," he deliberately dragged out his words, looking at the expectant eyes of the two, "let's learn the basic Rasengan first!"

Naruto immediately deflated, but the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even brighter.

Boruto, however, said, "Rasengan! I can do that!"

"Huh?!" Naruto's eyes widened. "How do you know the Rasengan?! I've been trying to learn it for two days and I still haven't mastered it! Could it be..."

Although Boruto was very reluctant, he still recalled Konohamaru-sensei's face and said, "Yeah, it's none of your business."

"None of my business?" Naruto scratched his head, not caring about the matter.

Jiraiya, however, focused his gaze on Boruto. "You said you can use the Rasengan, then show it to me!"

"it is good!"

Boruto nodded, then conjured a perfectly executed Rasengan with both hands, prompting Naruto to step forward in surprise. "You're really good at this, son!"

Boruto was somewhat annoyed that Naruto, who was shorter than him, was calling him his son, so he ignored him and turned his gaze to Jiraiya, "Is this okay?"

"Hmm, not bad, but still a bit lacking. Of course, we can't expect too much from someone your age. If you wanted to learn nature transformation, what attributes would you have?"

Ah, wind, thunder, water.

"Oh dear, this is tricky." Jiraiya scratched his armpit. "I'm not a ninja expert. First of all, Lightning Release is beyond my reach, and secondly, I'm not very good at Wind Release or Water Release either."

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Uchiha U walked over at just the right moment. "Tell me what to do, and I'll teach him."

Boruto scratched his itchy face. "Uncle Yu, you still didn't understand what I told you yesterday about incorporating lightning-style chakra into the Rasengan. You want me to learn it first and then teach you? How am I supposed to learn it?"

How dare you say that?

Yesterday, Uchiha Yu asked Boruto how to create an invisible Rasengan with lightning style. After Boruto gave him a long explanation, Uchiha Yu managed to conjure up a Rasengan that electrocuted himself, causing significant self-harm but failing to harm the enemy. It was nothing like Boruto's invisible Rasengan from Boruto.

Ultimately, Boruto's Rasengan, Naruto's Rasengan, and Jiraiya's Rasengan are very likely not the same thing.

Because Boruto's Rasengan comes from Konohamaru.

Konohamaru's Rasengan originated from Naruto's mumbled words, which he imitated and created himself, resulting in something resembling the Rasengan.
Naruto can't even use the Rasengan with one hand; he needs a clone to assist him.
He casually gestured with Konohamaru, and the entire lesson lasted less than three minutes.

As a result, Konohamaru, at such a young age, was already able to perform the Rasengan with one hand.
It's hard not to think that Konohamaru is a genius who created the Rasengan.

Seeing the determination in Uchiha U's eyes, Jiraiya could only nod, "Alright, let's start with controlling chakra."

Uchiha activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and carefully observed Jiraiya's every move.

He plans to learn Sage Art: Great Ball Rasengan, Great Flame Rasengan, Boruto's Vanishing Rasengan, and Wind Release: Shuriken Rasengan all at once!
To compensate for Fang Yu's weakness in single-target attacks!

Meanwhile, in a distant world, in a bustling audience, a boy who looked exactly like Uchiha U clenched his fists, staring intently at the old man on stage unleashing a Kamehameha wave, silently vowing...
"I am determined to become the world's number one martial arts champion."

He glanced at the blond-haired man in a black suit and sunglasses, who appeared calm under the watchful eye but was actually terrified beneath the sunglasses, and made his professional wish.

"host!"
