This Naruto is a player

Are you starting to learn how to control the Nine-Tails so early?

Minato wanted to say something more, but then he suddenly remembered that even in his current state of rampage with the Eight-Tails, Naruto was still clear-headed and seemed to be in good condition.

It seems that this child truly possesses extraordinary talent in suppressing tailed beasts!

It's unclear how Naruto's current strength compares to Kakashi's, who became a Jonin at the age of 12.

No, it's unfair to compare Naruto to a rare genius like Kakashi.

Speaking of Kakashi,

I wonder if that child has recovered from the trauma of that year?

That's it.

Minato's lips curled slightly, revealing a warm and expectant smile.

We still have some time, so why don't we test my son first?

"Naruto, are you studying under Jiraiya-sensei?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Did Jiraiya ever teach you a technique that doesn't require hand seals?"

Naruto blinked, a knowing smile spreading across his face: "A technique that doesn't require hand seals? Is this it?"

hum-

A soft chirp.

In an instant,

A Rasengan, radiating blue light, perfectly shaped, and brimming with highly concentrated chakra energy, was already hovering above Naruto's outstretched right palm.

The pure energy was firmly bound within the small sphere, following a mysterious trajectory, spinning and compressing wildly.

Minato's gaze sharpened slightly, confirming: it was indeed the Rasengan!

Not bad!

He's so young to have mastered this skill.

This joy far surpasses the feeling Jiraiya showed him when he learned it back then!

This kind of ninjutsu is not easy for a twelve-year-old child.

"How long did it take you to learn it?" Minato asked approvingly.

"Do we still need to learn?"

Naruto scratched his head, looking completely matter-of-fact with sincerity, "I can learn these things just by looking at them once."

"Is that so?" Minato paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Look, I even have an advanced version," Naruto said excitedly.

Under Minato's curious gaze,

Buzz—Boom!

The blue pill in their hands suddenly expanded, chakra surged violently, and the swirling wind pressure made the hems of their clothes flutter!

A Rasengan Pro, half the height of a person and radiating a blinding blue light, appears.

Naruto raised a bright smile and looked at Minato.

His Hokage robes fluttered wildly in the wind, making him appear tall, dashing, and unrestrained!

Naruto looked down at himself: khaki trousers and a khaki hooded windbreaker.

Tsk. That's totally not the style!

I should have worn a long trench coat.

What a pity.

On the other hand, Minato's expression showed even greater astonishment.

Naruto seems to have completely mastered the Rasengan, and can even develop this technique.

"Actually, there's this too."

After glancing at Minato, Naruto decided to escalate the situation.

His chakra erupted suddenly, sweeping through the space like a hurricane.

In the dim space, a Rasengan MAX, containing an enormous amount of chakra, five meters in diameter, and as huge as a full moon in the sky, appeared.

This eerie blue light illuminated almost the entire sealed space.

The blue light was also reflected in Minato's pupils and shone on his face.

Minato's initial shock had now turned into astonishment.

With such precise control over his chakra and such a vast amount of chakra, Minato felt that Naruto could be compared to Kakashi, who was the same age.

Looking down at Naruto, who appeared tiny compared to the enormous blue chakra sphere, a deeper sense of relief welled up within him.

As it turned out, his relief came too soon.

"Actually, regarding the Rasengan," Naruto's voice held a hint of amusement, "I have several improved versions."

"An improved version?"

Minato's heart skipped a beat, and a vague thought flashed through his mind.

Could it be...?

Next second,

scoff-

A rapidly spinning, destructive shuriken—Wind Release: Rasenshuriken—appeared.

The piercing shriek tore through the air and echoed throughout the entire space!

The incredible look on Minato's face froze.

Then, I was overwhelmed by an even deeper shock!

Wind Release?

Naruto actually managed to perfectly integrate wind-style chakra into the Rasengan?

This is exactly the idea that I was unable to complete back then because of the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage!

Looking at the figure that was faintly visible amidst the white wind blades, Minato felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and pride.

At such a young age, how could someone develop a Rasengan that combines attribute changes?

My son, isn't he a genius?

“Actually, I’ve developed even more versions of this Rasenshuriken,” Naruto continued, seemingly oblivious to his father’s shock.

Was it originally called the Spiral Shuriken?

Minato even wanted to give this move a name: "Wind Release: Light Wheel Gale Spiral Arrow Zero Style".

Since we already have it, let's just leave it at that.

Did he say more just now?

Next, Naruto showed us, without holding back, what it means to be a true genius!

Various forms of Rasengan, including Ice Release, Dust Release, Lava Release, Scorch Release, and Magnet Release, made their appearance one by one.

One after another, Rasengans containing different bloodline limits or special attributes appeared in this dark space like dazzling fireworks!

Then, Minato received a shocking surprise from Jiraiya.

Shocking, shocking, and even more shocking!

Even Minato's expression went from initial shock to gradually freezing, and finally he was completely stunned!

Watergate realized he was wrong, and terribly wrong.

Even Kakashi, who invented Chidori at the age of 12, seems unable to compare with Naruto.

Look at these various escape techniques.

Ice Release, Dust Release, Lava Release, Scorch Release, Magnet Release, and so on.

This involves at least a dozen different bloodline limits or special attributes.

I don't have such a bloodline limit. There's only one possibility that Naruto was able to master these: he learned and fused them on his own!

This kid seems to be too much of a genius!

It's even so monstrous that it defies reason!

Even in the best-case scenario he envisioned before his death, this scene seemed completely out of the question.

However, after recovering from the shock, he smiled, a gentle smile like a little sun.

Kushina would probably be very happy to see this.

No, no matter what, as long as Naruto grows up healthy, Kushina should be happy!

It was at this moment that Minato became even more convinced that his belief was correct; Naruto was indeed the child of prophecy.

Now he has nothing to worry about regarding the present world.

After the demonstration, Naruto noticed Minato looking at him and smiling, so he smiled too.

For a moment, even the Nine-Tails hiding in the corner felt that the sunlight outside was too dazzling.

“Nalut,” Minato’s voice was filled with understanding and relief, “No wonder you wanted to break the seal and learn to master the Nine-Tails’ power. I understand now.”

Minato understood Naruto's plan. With Naruto's strength, breaking the Nine-Tails' seal was not surprising.

But Minato was wrong again.

Naruto turned around without hesitation and walked with light steps toward the huge cage inside the seal.

"Naruto! Danger!" Minato's pupils contracted, and he instinctively shouted a stern warning.

He moved swiftly to stop him, but Naruto casually waved his hand to stop him.
