Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage nodded in satisfaction and patted Naruto on the shoulder with a look of gratification.

"In the future, the village will depend on you. Keep going. Even when Grandpa is gone, I will always be with you and protect you."

Naruto felt ashamed and gave a dry laugh.

After much anticipation, the Third Hokage finally appeared, took out two scrolls, handed them to Naruto, and then vanished in an instant.

Naruto unfolded one of the scrolls with great anticipation. The contents recorded on it were exactly what he had been longing for: the Nature Transformation.

It contains wind, thunder, earth, water, and fire.

The cultivation methods and tips from the first stage to the second stage couldn't be clearer.

Furthermore, the method for developing S-rank ninjutsu was explained at the end: the ultimate nature transformation combined with a high level of form transformation.

"When it comes to the ultimate form transformation, the Rasengan must be it," Naruto thought to himself.

Even without any attribute added, the Rasengan reaches level A.

Although it has been said before that the level of ninjutsu refers to the difficulty of learning and cannot be directly applied to power and effect, how could a high-level ninjutsu be weak in power?

The ultimate form transformation, the Rasengan, combined with the ultimate nature transformation—the sheer destructive power—makes Naruto's breathing quicken just thinking about it.

I hope Jiraiya will return soon so I can learn the Rasengan from him.

After carefully putting away the scroll containing the training method for nature transformation, Naruto opened another scroll containing ninjutsu and muttered to himself, "What could it be?"

For the first three years, the techniques were C-rank ninjutsu: Earth Release, Earth Flow Wall, Wind Release, Great Breakthrough, Lightning Release, and Earth Walk.

Last year it was a B-rank ninjutsu, Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

He possesses all five elemental ninjutsu, doesn't hesitate to expend chakra, and can even generate secondary transformations, so he doesn't urgently need the Five Elements Release Techniques.

Ideally, it would be a ninjutsu without any elemental affinity, or a sealing technique.

Please, it can't be medical ninjutsu or genjutsu.

As the scroll unfolded, the first thing Naruto saw was the name of the technique.

"Rasengan"

Chapter 21 The Consequences of Over-Excitement

Naruto closed the scroll, then opened it again, and all he saw was the Rasengan.

It's not that I'm seeing things, I'm just mistaken.

Would you consider this an unexpected surprise?

"Logically speaking, there is enough space on the scroll that records the changes in nature to write the Rasengan, so there is no need to use another scroll to record it."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Third Hokage should have another scroll containing B-rank ninjutsu, and he'll decide what to give me based on my performance and reactions."

"If your performance is substandard, your ninjutsu may be withheld, and there may even be two scrolls of this nature-changing technique: a complete version and an incomplete version."

Whether this is true or not is impossible to verify. Naruto suppressed the many guesses that had surfaced in his mind for a moment, grinned, and couldn't wait to run towards the back mountain.

Dispel the numerous shadow clones that are cultivating here.

Overwhelmed by a flood of memories and fatigue, Naruto swayed and steadied himself by leaning against a tree.

After adjusting himself a bit and feeling better, he sat cross-legged on the ground and, in the afterglow of the setting sun, began to read the training methods for Rasengan and Nature Transformation.

Knowing the plot, he was familiar with the Rasengan. If it weren't for the Anbu watching him and the Third Hokage occasionally spying on him with a crystal ball, Naruto would have mastered it long ago.

Now that there are legitimate ways to obtain it, there are no more worries.

After Naruto had roughly seen the training method for the Rasengan, he immediately sent a shadow clone to buy balloons using the Transformation Jutsu.

Then comes the change in nature.

This is actually not complicated. There isn't much theoretical knowledge involved. You just need to know the concepts and development directions of each attribute. It mainly relies on practice.

With three generations of experience to draw upon, we can avoid many detours.

"Oh, I see." After reading the whole thing, Naruto suddenly understood.

Consistent with the results shown on the chakra test strip, wind is cut open, fire is burned, water is moistened, earth is crushed, and lightning is wrinkled.

The first stage involves using chakra to manifest changes in the corresponding attributes on fragile leaves.

Because leaves are very fragile, and because leaves themselves are alive, they have an inherent resistance to external substances, including chakra.

The requirements for chakra control are extremely high.

Too little will have no effect and won't affect the leaves, while too much will destroy them.

There can be no mistakes; even the slightest error will be reported.

Moisture is moisture, and burning is burning.

When only one change appears on the leaves, without any other additional effects, the first stage is complete.

By the time Naruto had finished reading everything and had a clear understanding of the situation, the shadow clone who had gone to buy the balloons had just returned.

He put away the scroll, stood up, brushed off non-existent dust from his trousers, and clasped his hands together, forming only one hand seal.

A thick cloud of smoke appeared out of thin air centered on him, spread rapidly, and then quickly dissipated.

A terrifying number of shadow clones, densely packed together, filled the surroundings.

The shadow clones possessed all the memories of the original body, so Naruto didn't need to give any further instructions or make any arrangements. They spontaneously dispersed and began their training.

More than half of the shadow clones climbed trees to pick leaves and practice this nature transformation.

The other half, about three to four hundred shadow clones, divided the balloon and trained in the Rasengan.

Naruto himself wasn't idle either; he stepped forward and, together with his shadow clones, worked hard to become stronger.

With the monthly exams over, he no longer needed to spend time studying and could devote himself entirely to his spiritual practice.

The Second Tobirama, a master of forbidden techniques and a champion of human rights, developed a series of forbidden techniques that benefited countless people, but also brought them harm.

Among them, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is definitely one of the most useful and wondrous forbidden techniques.

The shadow clones created by the original body can use the shadow clone technique again.

When one shadow clone disappears, its memories, experiences, and fatigue are simultaneously transferred to all the shadow clones.

Although it's a bit fragile, it's absolutely perfect for studying and fighting in groups.

One of the shadow clones made new progress, immediately dissolving itself and sharing its memories with everyone.

Then, in this development, the shadow clone gained new insights and understanding, immediately released itself, and shared the memories.

The efficiency is, as one can imagine, very high.

However, problems also arise.

Not long after, Naruto couldn't take it anymore and called for a stop.

He was focused on training the Rasengan when suddenly a memory related to the nature transformation of water chakra appeared in his mind, interfering with his training.

It wasn't over yet; more memories came one after another, making it impossible for him to cultivate smoothly.

The shadow clone, closest to the main body and sharing the same senses, spoke up: "Cultivating at the same time is too disruptive; it's better to do it one at a time."

"I was cultivating the transformation of fire properties, and I had finally started to get a feel for it when suddenly the memory of the transformation of water properties appeared and extinguished it all..."

"I almost lost control of my chakra."

"I have a headache, and it's so hard to concentrate. If this continues..."

Naruto pondered, "Then let's train with the Rasengan first."

The change in nature has two stages and must be integrated into ninjutsu to achieve a significant effect; it cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.

On the other hand, the Rasengan, once mastered, is a powerful killing move. With the help of Shadow Clones in learning, Naruto is confident that he can master the Rasengan before his graduation exam.

Having made the decision, they selected a few shadow clones to buy balloons, and everyone worked together in one direction.

then…

"Naruto, Naruto."

Feeling his body being shaken and someone calling his name, Naruto woke up with heavy eyelids.

The first thing I saw was the bright moon in the night sky.

The surrounding area is dotted with starlight.

He paused for a moment, then looked away.

"Sakura?"

I instinctively tried to get up, but I fell back down halfway up. My body wouldn't obey me, and I felt even more dizzy.

"Ouch! What's wrong with me? My head hurts so much!" Naruto rubbed his forehead.

“That’s the question I wanted to ask.” Sakura, who was squatting to the side and relieved to see Naruto wake up, spoke up.

"After dinner, I took a walk with my parents and saw that your house was dark from a distance. I went over to check out your house out of curiosity, but you weren't home."

“After school, the only place you can be besides home is this hill behind the school, and sure enough, you really are here.”

As Naruto gradually recalled the scene before he lost consciousness, he couldn't help but laugh and cry: "I got a really powerful new technique, and in my excitement, I used Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, repeating it nine times as many times as possible... I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Naruto was punched in the stomach. He was already in so much pain that he felt like he was about to pass out, and he almost fainted again.

"Idiot!" Sakura yelled, "Are you out of your mind? You know that's a forbidden technique, it's life-threatening, and you still do this recklessly!"

"Cough cough, be gentle, I don't have much chakra right now, it hurts so much," Naruto said with a pained expression.

"It hurts? That's to teach you a lesson so you won't do it again!" Sakura wasn't satisfied and punched Naruto twice more, making him gasp for breath and almost faint.

Immediately, Sakura, still fuming, helped Naruto up and slowly left the back mountain.

Chapter 22 Graduation

In an empty alley.

"I feel better now. I'll go back by myself. Thank you for making this trip."

The Uzumaki clan's physical attributes, combined with the perfect fusion of Hashirama's cells, give them an extremely exaggerated regenerative ability, even without considering the Nine-Tails' chakra.
