Promising the future ahead of time, starting with Naruto

Chapter 12 Kushina and Jiraiya (Please add to your favorites and read on)

Whether it's Water Wall, Water Wave, or Water Dragon Bullet, these three water-style ninjutsu can all take advantage of the terrain.

In other words, the presence of water greatly conserves chakra for casting spells.

But the technique of breaking waves with water is different; it cannot take advantage of the terrain.

A water gun with high destructive power must consume a lot of chakra.

Genichi Kishita was well aware of his own limitations; he knew that with his current amount of chakra, he would probably be exhausted once he used it all up.

"Now I can say that I don't lack ninjutsu, but chakra has become the key limiting factor for my growth."

Genichi put away the scroll and walked home, his brows furrowed.

Seeking to increase one's chakra limit is much more difficult than seeking ninjutsu resources.

After thinking it over all the way home, Genichi Shushita decided on three paths.

First, the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts!

Whether it's a three-tailed or a nine-tailed creature, there's a chance.

However, the prerequisite is that one can withstand the backlash of becoming a Jinchūriki.

Not just anyone can become a Jinchūriki.

Especially Genichi himself, not to mention the Nine-Tailed Fox.

If you want to plot against the Three-Tails, you must first master the sealing technique.

Secondly, Orochimaru.

Human body modification, cell transplantation, such as interstitial cells.

But it's very dangerous.

However, having the potential to overdraw one's future provides a lot of opportunities for trial and error.

Thirdly, Tsunade.

That is, the Yin Seal.

However, it is currently uncertain whether the Yin Seal can be cultivated by men.

Secondly, Genichi Kinoshita felt that obtaining the Yin Seal from Tsunade would be extremely difficult.

"We still need to work harder!"

Genichi under the tree thought to himself, "I need to keep in touch with Brother Minato more often."

"We'll probably have to find a way to seal him."

Minato Namikaze's sealing techniques were basically derived from Kushina Uzumaki, since they were lovers.

Genichi Shushita knew that his current relationship with the person he was learning sealing techniques was far from sufficient.

It's all about profit!
How about we create the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken?
Xuan Yi under the tree had a headache.

With his chakra, this technique... Genichi Kishita secretly shook his head: "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken won't work. As a last resort, Wind Release: Rasengan, or Water Release: Rasengan."

"I don't know Wind Release right now, so I can start with Water Release: Rasengan."

"Furthermore, the idea of ​​the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken can also be offered for trade."

The application range of Rasengan is too wide; you can put anything into it.

Wind Release Rasengan, Lightning Release Rasengan, Fire Release Rasengan, Water Release Rasengan—Genichi Kinoshita didn't think any of them were a problem.

This is in preparation for learning sealing techniques.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru's side...

"What method should be used?"

Genichi under the tree pondered and felt that he couldn't be too passive.

Even if you have the ability to gamble your future to try and fail, you can't completely entrust your life and hope to Orochimaru.

"I also need to have research capabilities myself."

Genichi under the tree felt an even bigger headache coming on.

Because it requires far too much knowledge.

"Take it one step at a time. First, master some basic knowledge about medicine and the human body. You can start with silent operation."

Genichi Kishita pondered his next move: "In the future, I need to form a cooperative relationship with Orochimaru so that I can gain some knowledge from him through information exchange."

As I pondered, the plan gradually took shape in my mind.

Time passed day by day, and soon the winter vacation arrived, marking the end of Konoha's 41st year.

However, Genichi under the tree remained busy.

Aside from helping out at his family's meatball shop, he spends most of his time studying.

Some learn about medicine and the human body from silent patients, while others learn from books.

There's also the sword-drawing slash, which I practice every day.

Water Release: Rasengan

Two newly acquired Water Release ninjutsu.

Of course, Genichi Kinoshita couldn't resist bothering Minato Namikaze, bringing his notes analyzing the two Water Release ninjutsu to ask for his advice. Unfortunately, Jiraiya was still out and hadn't returned.

However, the sparring and matches with Might Guy and Kakashi amidst the busyness became a spice in the otherwise tedious training.

Winter passes and spring comes.

On this day, Genichi Kishita brought his training notes to the Minato Namikaze residence.

Of course, there are also their own five-colored meatballs.

However, the person who opened the door after knocking surprised Genichi Kinoshita.

Uzumaki Kushina!
This was the first time Genichi Kinoshita had seen him.

"Xuan Yi, right? Come in quickly!"

Kushina Uzumaki was very enthusiastic, and at the same time, she seemed to be the mistress of this house.

"That... is!"

Genichi followed them through the door and then saw Minato Namikaze.

“Xuan Yi, this is Kushina.”

Minato Namikaze introduced it with a smile.

Genichi immediately bowed: "Kushina-senpai!"

Kushina Uzumaki waved her hand: "No need to be so polite, just call me Kushina-neechan."

Genichi immediately changed his address and called her "Kushina-neechan".

The three of them sat down in the living room, eating meatballs and talking.

After reviewing the notes brought by Genichi under the tree, Minato Namikaze exclaimed, "Genichi, your understanding of these Water Release ninjutsu has surpassed mine."

Genichi Shushita laughed and said, "That's because you, Brother Minato, haven't put in the effort to master water-style techniques."

Indeed, Minato Namikaze is currently focused on sealing techniques.

The Water Release techniques that Minato currently possesses are sufficient for him, and there is really no need to waste any more time on them.

Most importantly, his water attribute was not something he was born with, but rather a water-style nature transformation he cultivated later, and it was the kind of water-style nature transformation he was not good at.

"Brother Minato, did you achieve anything by adding nature transformation to the Rasengan?"

Xuan Yi asked from under the tree.

Minato Namikaze shook his head: "Not yet, we've been researching sealing techniques lately."

Sealing technique!
Genichi's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak when a knock sounded on the door.

Kushina Uzumaki got up to open the door, and a voice came in: "Kushina, you're living here now?"

With a slight blush, Kushina Uzumaki quickly changed the subject: "Jiraiya-sensei, you're finally back. Minato has been waiting for you for a long time."

Jiraiya strolled leisurely into the living room and asked with a smile, "Minato, are you encountering difficulties in developing the technique?"

After asking the question, he noticed a little kid next to him: "Eh? Who is this guy...?"

Genichi Kinoshita had already stood up: "Lord Jiraiya, I am Genichi Kinoshita."

Minato Namikaze continued, "Genichi is a genius student at the Ninja Academy."

Jiraiya smiled and said, "A genius student? How does he compare to Minato back then?"

Minato Namikaze said, "Genichi is much better than me. He created and developed an A-rank ninjutsu without hand seals when he was only five years old. It's the same jutsu that I told you, sir, I wanted to develop."

Jiraiya froze, his mind a jumbled mess.

Developing an A-rank, no-seal ninjutsu at the age of five... that's truly genius.

But what does the following mean?
Minato Namikaze raised his hand and unleashed the Rasengan: "This is the technique, which Genichi named Rasengan."

Jiraiya opened his eyes wide, looked at Rasengan, then at Genichi Kinoshita beside him, and muttered to himself, "He's not even that handsome."

Soon, after Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki exchanged words, Jiraiya understood the whole story.

It's just about taking on apprentices...

Jiraiya had no such intention: "Water Release?"

"This isn't something I'm good at!"

He has actually mastered everything except for Lightning Release: Nature Transformation.

However, it is indeed true that he is not good at water-style techniques.

After all, compared to fire style, water style is not exactly their forte.

Genichi Shushita was slightly disappointed, but he wasn't entirely unprepared.

However, Jiraiya suddenly laughed and said, "Although I cannot take you as my apprentice, if you want to learn, I can teach you other ninjutsu."

He looked at the Rasengan and felt that this technique was quite suitable for him.

Genichi Shushita's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "Um, Jiraiya-sama, may I learn sealing techniques from you?"

Sealing technique?
Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki were all somewhat surprised.
