Konoha's Hextech Ninja

As Yagami Yoruichi pondered, a wave of exhaustion and a flood of memories washed over him. It was a shadow clone practicing ninjutsu, which had exhausted its chakra and dissipated.

After digesting the memories and experiences transmitted by the shadow clone, Yagami Yoruichi felt that her understanding of the ninjutsu 'Water Release: Water Wall' had improved somewhat.

"The Water Release: Water Wall technique is perfect as an excuse to develop the Rasengan. Rotating water, compressed to its limit, isn't that the Rasengan...?"

As Yagami Yoruichi muttered to himself, he looked up and circled the training ground, then created a new shadow clone and came to Kakashi Hatake's side.

"Kakashi, I have an idea about the Water Wall technique."

Yagami Yoruichi spoke up, "The second-generation improved Water Wall incorporates high-speed rotation. I have a feeling that this technique isn't just for defense. The impact of this high-speed rotating water flow is also astonishing. If we change its form and use it for attack, would it have a surprising effect?"

"Whirlpool? Attack?" Kakashi Hatake seemed thoughtful, and after a moment he said, "Do you remember the whirlpool we encountered in the lake when we were on a mission before?"

"This kind of high-speed rotating vortex has tremendous destructive power and might be feasible for attack. But how can we get the enemy trapped in such a massive vortex?" Kakashi Hatake raised a difficult question.

"What if we compress and shrink the vortex, and then throw it at the enemy's location?" Yoruichi Yagami hypothesized.

"Compress? Throw it out?" Kakashi Hatake was taken aback.

This line of thought...

At first glance, it seems a bit strange, but upon closer inspection, it is indeed quite feasible.

"If it can be compressed to the extreme, considering it as a single ninjutsu, it may not need to be on a large scale, but the requirements for chakra control may be very high."

Kakashi Hatake excitedly discussed with Yoruichi Yagami: "Should we base it on Water Release? Earth Release and Lightning Release are definitely not suitable, and Fire Release isn't very good either. Water Release and Wind Release are the most suitable."

He didn't immediately think of it as 'non-attribute ninjutsu'.

After all, in the ninja world, the mainstream offensive and defensive ninjutsu are mainly based on the Five Elements ninjutsu.

While elemental ninjutsu can be countered by specific ninjutsu, it is also more powerful.

Yoruichi Yagami didn't rush to reveal the complete details of the 'Rasengan'. Instead, she started with a basic 'concept' and discussed it with Kakashi Hatake.

In the afternoon, after finishing their clan affairs, the Uchiha brothers, Inahisa and Tetsuka, arrived at the training ground. Upon hearing that Yagami Yoruichi wanted to develop a new ninjutsu, they joined the discussion, wanting to do their part to help her complete the development of the new technique.

Yoruichi Yagami just wanted to 'whitewash' her Rasengan and find an excuse.

Originally, the plan was just to make a show of it and then announce the completion of the ninjutsu development after a while.

However, seeing the attitudes of Kakashi Hatake, Inahi Uchiha, and Tetsuka Uchiha, Yoruichi Yagami also felt a pang of guilt.

"Or, should we really use this approach to develop a new technique? Or should we go straight to developing the Water Release: Rasengan?"

A thought flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind.

Minato Namikaze's Rasengan was not the 'final form' he envisioned.

The Rasengan without attribute is already very strong, but in Minato Namikaze's mind, the ultimate form of this ninjutsu is to add the ultimate chakra nature transformation to the 'ultimate chakra form transformation' of the Rasengan without attribute.

This refers to the 'Wind Release: Rasenshuriken' that Naruto Uzumaki can only use freely in Sage Mode in the future.

Perhaps, I could develop a corresponding 'Water Release: Rasenshuriken'?

Whirlpools and water are clearly a better match than wind.

"Given my understanding of Water Release, perhaps I have a chance to develop the Water Release: Rasengan? Maybe?"

Yoruichi Yagami was somewhat uncertain, but she had already decided to give it a try in this direction.

Chapter 97 Yagami Yoruichi: I'll teach Namikaze Minato the Rasengan?!

In a secluded training ground on the outskirts of Konoha.

Minato Namikaze conjured a blue chakra ball in his palm and forcefully pushed it towards the rock in front of him.

Boom!

Rock fragments flew everywhere, leaving a shallow pit about ten centimeters in diameter on the rock.

"Failed again."

Minato Namikaze was panting heavily, wanting to continue trying, but the chakra he had left was not enough to support him.

"Take a break." Jiraiya took out a bento box from the side and said, "The idea behind your technique is fine, but you need to think carefully about the details. You can't just rely on brute force to practice."

"But Kushina, she..."

Minato Namikaze stopped mid-sentence and changed the subject, saying, "I want to complete this technique as soon as possible. Once Kushina learns it, she should be able to deal with the Nine-Tails and won't have to be restricted in her freedom anymore."

Since it involved the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Jiraiya wisely didn't respond. He handed the bento box to Minato Namikaze and said, "I heard that Tsunade's student is also developing a new technique that sounds somewhat similar to yours."

"Similar to my technique?" Minato Namikaze was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Was his inspiration also the Tailed Beast Ball?"

Minato Namikaze's Rasengan, of course, doesn't have a name yet, but the inspiration comes from the 'Tailed Beast Ball' he saw on the battlefield.

The scene of the Tailed Beast Ball destroying the world greatly shocked Minato Namikaze.

Just after he mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he needed a highly destructive ninjutsu to complement it.

Thus began the long process of developing new ninjutsu.

But now, more than two years have passed, and the completion of the new ninjutsu is still a long way off.

Given Minato Namikaze's astonishing talent, the fact that he failed to succeed after spending so much time demonstrates just how difficult this technique is.

Tsunade's students have already developed ninjutsu at this level?

"The inspiration, it is said, came from the Water Formation Wall. The initial idea was to develop a ninjutsu that would compress and launch water jutsu in the form of a vortex, but the development failed. In the process, the development direction of new ninjutsu was constantly changed, and the form of ninjutsu was also greatly changed."

Jiraiya thought for a moment and said, "I went to check on them a while ago. Their progress is very fast, and I didn't mention it because I was worried it would affect your training. But... since you haven't made any progress here, perhaps you could go and take a look over there?"

Minato Namikaze had mixed feelings, finding it hard to accept the fact that he had been surpassed by a junior who was still studying at the Ninja Academy.

However, he was ultimately a 'perfect ninja', and he quickly adjusted his mindset, looked at Jiraiya, and asked, "Master, his ninjutsu is very similar to mine?"

"The last time I went to see it was a month ago. At that time, it was only somewhat similar to your technique, but the core was still based on water jutsu."

Jiraiya said directly, "I just feel that since there are similarities, perhaps that child can give you some inspiration?"

Minato Namikaze was somewhat tempted, but also hesitant: "Would it be inappropriate for me to directly learn his ninjutsu?"

“Don’t you know a lot of powerful ninjutsu? You can exchange them with him.” Jiraiya said with a smile, “Besides, it’s just borrowing ideas, not learning a complete ninjutsu. Just consider it an exchange of ninjutsu. That kid may be a genius, but he definitely doesn’t know as many ninjutsu as you do.”

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Minato Namikaze also came to his senses.

Even if I want to learn, it certainly won't be a waste of time.

This is a mutually beneficial exchange or transaction.

If the other party doesn't agree, you can simply give up.

With that in mind, Minato Namikaze no longer hesitated and said to Jiraiya, "Then I'll trouble you, teacher, to arrange a meeting with Lady Tsunade's student."

Since this is an exchange of ninjutsu, it's better to be more formal.

Upon hearing Minato Namikaze's agreement, Jiraiya immediately smiled and said, "Leave this to me. The Ninja Academy is on summer vacation now, so he should have plenty of free time. I can get it done in the next few days."

……

Konoha Training Ground.

Yoruichi Yagami and Kurenai Yuhi walked side by side.

Kakashi Hatake and Minato Namikaze were already waiting there.

The two were whispering to each other. Minato Namikaze was still forming hand seals, demonstrating to Kakashi Hatake, seemingly teaching him something.

"Minato-senpai, Kakashi." Yagami Yoruichi greeted the two.

"Yoruichi-kun." Minato Namikaze immediately looked apologetic upon seeing Yoruichi Yagami, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to bother you. I've been encountering some trouble developing a new technique recently. I heard that you're also developing a new technique, Yoruichi-kun, and I hope to get some inspiration from you. I'm sorry for troubling you. If it's inconvenient, you can simply refuse."

With that, Minato Namikaze bowed deeply to Yoruichi Yagami and Kakashi Hatake, saying, "I swear by my ninja way that I will never reveal what I have seen!"

"There's no need to be so serious." Yagami Yoruichi was slightly embarrassed.

He stole someone else's ninjutsu, only to find that the original creator came to learn from him instead.

This strange situation left Yagami Yoruichi somewhat at a loss as to how to deal with it.

After thinking for a moment, Yagami Yoruichi said, "You mean the Rasengan, right? We completed the initial version of this technique a few days ago. Why don't I demonstrate it first?"

"If it's alright, I'll trouble you, Yoruichi-kun." Minato Namikaze asked very politely, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

“No need.” Yagami Yoruichi shook her head, raised her right hand, and a bright blue chakra ball quickly formed in her palm.

The chakra sphere has a thin film on its surface, and the chakra inside rotates at high speed. Just looking at it makes people feel extremely threatening.

Yagami Yoruichi raised her hand and pressed the chakra ball against a large tree beside her.

A tree more than a meter in diameter was pierced through, leaving a large hole, and broke in two.

"Wow...that's amazing!" Minato Namikaze exclaimed in surprise.

This ninjutsu was almost exactly the same as the ninjutsu he had envisioned.

Isn't it just that there's a slight similarity in thinking?

A question arose in Minato Namikaze's mind.

"The principle of this ninjutsu is to rotate and compress chakra to the extreme, and then unleash it all at once."

As Yagami Yoruichi spoke, he suddenly showed a troubled expression and said, "Originally, I planned to develop a long-range ninjutsu, but I found that as long as the ninjutsu leaves the body, it is impossible to maintain such a high level of compression. Strictly speaking, this technique should only be a half-finished product. On the basis of the existing one, adding a certain attribute of chakra nature transformation so that it can be released without being held would make it the complete version. However, I have not yet found a suitable way to do this."

"Incorporate chakra nature transformation?" Minato Namikaze instantly thought of the Tailed Beast Ball.

Through his conversation with Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze learned that the chakra of the Tailed Beast Ball has both Yin and Yang attributes.

Perhaps we could try to find a solution in this direction?

Before she could say anything, Yagami Yoruichi had already condensed a Rasengan in her palm again and began explaining the key points of this ninjutsu.

"I named it 'Rasengan.' The principle is very simple: chakra is concentrated in the palm of the hand, rotated, compressed, and maintained into a sphere. At the moment of impact with the enemy, all the chakra is released at once."

"If someone else is learning, they can try cultivating in three steps..."

Yoruichi Yagami explained the training method for the 'Rasengan' without holding anything back.

Anyway, this ninjutsu originally belonged to Minato Namikaze.

The reason I mastered it first was simply because I had the advantage of being a prophet.

Teaching Minato Namikaze would save him some time developing ninjutsu, and in a way, it would be like returning the ninjutsu to him.

Minato Namikaze was extremely surprised to see this, but he did not waste Yoruichi Yagami's kindness and carefully memorized all the details and key points that Yoruichi Yagami explained.
