Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

His chakra was almost depleted, so he took out his notebook.

"The strength is not enough to penetrate objects, so we need to find a way to refine and concentrate it."

"The most effective one right now is still the Rasengan."

"I can't incorporate the Rasengan into nature transformation, but there's still room for improvement."

Thinking about it, he drew two lines after the Rasengan.

The release speed is written after each line.

The other option is compression and increment.

Then, we need to find a way to better integrate into our own combat system, instead of foolishly charging in while maintaining the Rasengan like Naruto did in the early stages.

Chapter 2 An Unconventional Genius

What is a genius?

In Kai's view, the Uchiha clan members weren't geniuses; they just had better backgrounds and learning environments. Compared to them, it was much more difficult for ordinary people to become genius ninjas.

Therefore, he greatly admired Jiraiya and the Fourth Hokage.

And now.

"Third Hokage, although that child couldn't learn nature transformation and genjutsu, he came up with a ninjutsu similar to the Rasengan on his own."

"He's an unconventional genius!"

Kai was in his office, excitedly reporting to the third generation.

The Third Hokage held an information sheet in his hand, took a puff of his cigarette, and then asked, "How is his physical skill?"

"His control over his muscles and strength, as well as his natural talent, is stronger than Li's."

but.

"Yes."

The third generation thought about it for a long time, but ultimately did not make a decision.

The others replied listlessly.

"Chiba and Tenten tied for first place in today's throwing test. The others need to work harder!"

He ranked first in physical skills.

The information sheet contains the evaluation from the Ninja Academy.

no doubt.

His chakra control is top-notch.

Chiba is an absolute genius.

The third generation fell silent.

He wanted to meet this unconventional genius.

The fact that he could come up with the Rasengan on his own shows that he has a very strong creativity.

Yagyu Chiba.

"Sandaime-sama!"

The best thrower is Kuno.

"I'll see him first and then decide."

Kai shared his observations: "I originally planned to wait until they graduated and bring them into my team, but now it seems like it would be a waste for me to take them on."

He couldn't even learn the Three Body Technique in terms of ninjutsu. He could easily dispel genjutsu, but he also couldn't learn any genjutsu.

……

He was number one in academic performance.

Tian Tian clenched his fists tightly, but still could only sigh helplessly.

Since this guy's grades improved by leaps and bounds a year ago, she has gradually gone from "first place in throwing" to "tied for first place", and now she has gradually gotten used to it.

but.

The opponent's skill extends beyond just throwing kunai.

Aside from ninjutsu and genjutsu, he was practically an all-rounder. All the teachers at the ninja academy gave him a thumbs up and then let out a long sigh.

She felt sorry for Chiba, but he didn't seem to care at all.

"Chiba-kun, wanna practice throwing together?"

"Okay, uh, sorry, it might take a while."

Chiba was about to practice with Tenten when he saw his teacher waving at him from a distance, as if the teacher needed him to come over. So he said goodbye to Tenten and ran over.

His teacher's name is Shui Mu.

Putting aside what happened afterward, Mizuki's teaching level in kunai throwing and basic ninjutsu was quite good, but his overall strength was just so-so.

"Ms. Shuimu, you wanted to see me?"

"It wasn't me. The Hokage came to inspect the area today and specifically requested to see you. Please go to the conference room now."

"Yes!"

Chiba's eyes lit up.

Become!

Thank you so much, Teacher Kai!

He was extremely excited—

It must have been Kai who made the difference.

In the blink of an eye, Chiba had disappeared from the spot.

"envious."

"As expected of Chiba-kun, even the Third Hokage wants to see him."

"Sigh, that's what genius is."

"A genius? He still can't learn ninjutsu."

"..."

Xiao Li glanced around, shook his head slightly, and got up to go for a run.

genius?

These people have no idea how much effort Chiba put in; they only see the surface glamour and then use the word "genius" to erase all the hard work.

Outside the conference room.

Chiba gently knocked on the door.

"Hokage-sama."

"Hey, the door's unlocked, come in."

"Yes!"

He went in, and the third generation was looking at a stack of documents with great interest.

After Chiba came in, he smiled and said, "I looked at the records. In the past two years, besides exercising, you've also been going to the library to read books quite often?"

"Yes, I don't have any talent for ninjutsu, so I wanted to create a technique that can be used without nature transformation. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that developing ninjutsu requires an extremely high level of knowledge."

"That's right, no skill can be mastered overnight."

The three generations nodded in approval.

Chiba's academic performance improved across the board during this period.

he knows.

There are quite a few students at the ninja academy who think academic subjects are unimportant, which makes someone like Chiba all the more precious. It's a pity...

How come such a good child can't learn about property change?

He shook his head, sighed softly, and then said, "I heard from Kai that you created a technique?"

"Uh, it's not exactly original. It seems to overlap with the Fourth Generation Master's work. Besides, I only thought of vortex-style enhancement before, and I didn't think of multiple turbulence."

Chiba explained and demonstrated step by step, just as he had performed for Matt Ke yesterday.

The Third Hokage observed from the side and said with a smile, "Your thinking and process are quite different from Minato's. You didn't know about this technique beforehand, so what else could it be but your own creation? Don't be modest. Just consider me your teacher today."

"Yes."

"Any other ideas?"

"I think there is a lot of room for development in chakra shape transformation and density compression. Compared to ninjutsu, it has the advantage of not requiring hand seals, and its power is not weak when combined with taijutsu."

Chiba spoke eloquently.

This is the interview stage; whether it's successful or not depends on now.

The Third Hokage nodded in agreement, but soon smiled and said, "Our predecessors also developed this type of ninjutsu, but later no one studied it anymore. The reason is simple: compared to ninjutsu without elemental attributes, incorporating nature transformation is obviously stronger."

"..."

Chiba remained silent.

He couldn't argue.

Even the Rasengan itself is an imperfect ninjutsu. In Minato's vision, the ultimate effect should incorporate chakra nature transformation.

"People like you and Xiao Li are actually a minority. For most people, ninjutsu is the most convenient and simplest."

"That's true, but I just happen not to."

Chiba did not deny it.
