Chapter 54 Rasengan! (Please vote and give monthly tickets to continue reading)

As the saying goes, "Words can be dangerous," and Hoshino Hideichi limped away from Konoha Hospital with Yakushi Nonou.

That night, Hoshinoichi stayed at Yakushi Nonou's place again, diligently absorbing medical knowledge.

While sleeping, Hoshita Shuichi snuggled up to Yakushi Nonou in a spoiled manner, then whispered, "Does the Dean have someone he likes?"

"Huh?"

Yakushi Nonou paused for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "Yes, Shuichi, and every child in the orphanage."

Shuichi Hoshita continued, "It seems that Minato-sensei already has a girl he likes!"

Yakushi Nonou turned her head, unable to see Hoshishita Shuichi's face clearly because she had taken off her glasses, and joked, "Looks like Shuichi has someone he likes too."

"That's true, Shuichi is really popular with girls!"

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but picture Shizune's face in his mind, followed by Tsunade.

He turned to look at Yakushi Nono, feeling inexplicably melancholy.

A six-year-old's body, yet containing the soul of an adult.

Yakushi Nonou is more than ten years older than him!

That's insane, absolutely insane!

Hoshita Shuichi secretly despised himself, then hugged Yakushi Nonou's waist: "I want to be with the Dean forever."

Yakushi Nonou, without giving it much thought, patted Hoshino Shuichi on the back: "That's what I wanted too!"

……

The following day, at 9 a.m., Hoshino Shizuka, Uchiha Shisui, and Kurama Sanyou followed Namikaze Minato to the place where the latter was developing a new technique.

Looking at those huge pits, Hoshino Shuichi was completely certain.

Rasengan!

Looking at the craters, Kurama Sanyou couldn't help but get excited: "Minato-sensei, this must be an incredibly powerful ninjutsu!"

"I can't wait to watch it!"

Minato Namikaze smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "This technique isn't finished yet, but it's certainly worth demonstrating."

After saying that, under the gaze of Hoshino and the other two, Minato Namikaze raised and opened his right hand, and then his chakra quickly gathered, forming a light blue chakra sphere.

However, this chakra sphere was extremely unstable, with the chakra surging and gushing out, seemingly about to explode at any moment.

Kurama San'yō exclaimed in surprise, "That's amazing!"

The sheer amount of chakra that was gathered was astonishing.

Uchiha Shisui also showed surprise: "If it is fully developed, it will definitely be an extremely amazing ninjutsu!"

Minato Namikaze could no longer maintain the stability of his technique, and with a loud bang, he left a large crater in the ground.

Hoshita Shuichi looked on thoughtfully.

Minato Namikaze didn't know if the Rasengan originated from the inspiration of the Tailed Beast Ball, but the current Rasengan's chakra was spinning like a vortex, forcibly restrained by Minato Namikaze's powerful chakra control, making it extremely unstable.

This situation is clearly not suitable for actual combat, especially given Minato Namikaze's fast-paced style.

So how can we stabilize the chakra gathered in our hands?

Minato Namikaze has a single spiral, does he need a double spiral?

The inner chakra rotates to the left, and the outer chakra rotates to the right?

"It can't be that simple..."

Hoshino Shizuka frowned slightly.

Upon noticing this, Kurama Sanyo couldn't help but chuckle and ask, "Is Shuichi thinking about how to help Minato-sensei complete this ninjutsu?"

When Hoshino Hideichi came to his senses, he nodded and was about to speak when a flash of inspiration struck him, and his eyes lit up.

He quickly replied, "Mr. Minato, I've got it!"

"Shisui, San'yō, could you please come with me to find some vines?"

Kurama San'yo asked in confusion, "A rattan cane?"

"What does this have to do with Minato-sensei's ninjutsu?"

Uchiha Shisui immediately laughed and said, "Just do as Shuichi says."

The three of them immediately jumped away.

Minato Namikaze watched the three figures disappear into the distance, and his anticipation grew.

Konoha was clearly not short of vines, and Hoshino and her two companions quickly collected quite a few before returning.

In front of Minato Namikaze, Shuichi Hoshino picked up a vine and said, "Minato-sensei, this represents the circulation of chakra."

As he spoke, he spun the rattan around, pressing it into a small ring which he held in one hand.

But it didn't end there. Hoshino Shuichi picked up another vine and wrapped it around the outside of the first ring, but not in the same direction, nor in the opposite direction. Instead, the inner and outer rings were perpendicular.

At this point, Minato Namikaze suddenly understood.

Hoshino Shuichi continued, "The vines represent the trajectory of chakra circulation. The first layer is an orderly rotation in one direction, and the second layer is another orderly rotation, while simultaneously suppressing the orderly rotation of the first layer of chakra from immediately expanding outward."

"And then it keeps getting layered on top of each other."

As he spoke, Hoshino Hideichi quickly wove the rattan into layers, and soon a rattan ball appeared in his hand, which he held firmly with his five fingers.

He looked at Minato Namikaze and the other two and smiled, "Using the outer layer of chakra to suppress the inner layer of chakra, and suppressing the last layer of chakra ourselves, will greatly reduce the difficulty and make such a large amount of compressed chakra more stable."

"Then……"

Hoshino Shuichi slowly released the power of his five fingers that were pressing down on the takatsu ball, and then Minato Namikaze and the other two saw the takatsu ball expand outwards.

"As we attack the enemy and loosen our external control, the chakra ball will expand from the inside out."

"Furthermore, this expansion during high-speed rotation will enhance its lethality."

"The most important point is that the direction of expansion is not the side that we grasp, but the side that hits and contacts the enemy."

Although the rattan ball in Hoshita Shuichi's hand wasn't a real spinning chakra ball, the three of them—Namikaze Minato, Hoshita Shuichi, and Minato Namikaze—were all quite capable, and Hoshita Shuichi's explanation was so clear and vivid that they were able to completely simulate the situation Hoshita Shuichi described in their minds.

Kurama Yamayo froze, then suddenly shouted, "Shuichi, how did you come up with that?"

Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha also looked at Shuichi Hoshino with curiosity.

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled, "Have you ever seen a ball of yarn?"

"It's used for knitting sweaters."

Minato and the other two looked at each other, then laughed awkwardly together.

Minato Namikaze then praised, "Shuichi, you have an amazing sensitivity to ninjutsu!"

Uchiha Shisui then said, "No wonder you don't need hand seals when using Fire Release, Shuichi."

Hoshino Shuichi was a little embarrassed by the praise, but also quite proud.

Because this idea didn't originate from a prophet in a previous life. In that life, all I knew was that the Rasengan was awesome, and I also knew the general steps of Naruto's training, but who knew how it actually worked?

He did indeed get his inspiration from a ball of yarn; when he was in the orphanage, Yakushi Nonou had knitted him a sweater.

"Minato-sensei, let's give it a try first. We don't know yet if it will work."

A beautiful scene unfolds beneath the stars.

Minato Namikaze, however, was very confident: "Shuichi, your method is absolutely correct."

He has an extraordinary sensitivity to ninjutsu.

But as he talked about it, he started to try it out himself.

As the wind howled, the blue chakra ball on Minato Namikaze's palm rapidly expanded.

Unlike before, this time it is very stable.

Even Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but secretly admire Minato Namikaze's talent; he had only explained the principle once and succeeded immediately.

Just then, the tree of terms in his mind also stirred.
