Chapter 11: Holy Crap, You Learned the Rasengan That Fast?
[Namikaze Minato: "I spent three years mastering this jutsu, and another six months perfecting it..."]
[Jiraiya: "It took me nearly a year to train for the Rasengan back then..."]
[Uzumaki Naruto: "I trained for a month..."]
[Mist Anbu: "Is this jutsu really that difficult? By the way, Naruto's training speed is way too fast!"]
[Jiraiya: "Mm, it's because I taught him well!"]
[Hatake Kakashi: "Wait a moment... Konohamaru can also do the Rasengan. Who taught Konohamaru?"]
[Uzumaki Naruto (Youth): "Ahaha, I taught Konohamaru. I actually have quite a talent for teaching, you know..."]
[Uchiha Sarada: "Is Lord Seventh really that amazing?!"]
Konoha Streets.
Sarada stared at the Seventh Hokage's message, her face filled with admiration.
Lord Seventh was not only handsome and powerful, but his teaching skills were also superb!
"Hey, Sarada, do you admire Lord Seventh that much?" Chocho asked confusedly while eating potato chips.
"Of course! Lord Seventh is the strongest person in the Ninja World!"
"But... Sarada, your dad is amazing too, right? I heard the only one who can rival Lord Seventh is Mr. Sasuke."
[Uzumaki Boruto: "Are my old man's teaching standards high?"]
[Uzumaki Naruto (Youth): "Of course! Your teacher Konohamaru was taught by me."]
[Sarutobi Konohamaru (Youth): "..."]
On the street,
Konohamaru looked at the screen in the sky, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
Naruto-nii-chan, are you serious about those teaching standards?
...
The visuals continued.
Boruto couldn't pop the water balloon no matter how hard he tried, and he soon lost his fighting spirit.
Konohamaru stared at Boruto with dissatisfaction, and the two started arguing because of it.
The crowd watching the video found it somewhat amusing,
But soon, their expressions froze.
Boruto broke through the first stage of training in just one day!
...
Inside the Women's Bathhouse.
Jiraiya looked at the screen high in the sky, his face full of shock:
"Holy crap, is that kid Boruto's talent that strong?!"
...
Inside the Reaper's Stomach.
Minato looked at his grandson's talent, a look of pride appearing on his face: "Hahaha, as expected of my grandson!"
...
The visuals continued.
Boruto spent another three days and three nights breaking through all the training stages one by one.
He cupped his hands and formed a tiny Rasengan. Although it was very small, it was indeed a Rasengan!
Konohamaru looked at Boruto's astonishing talent, his pupils contracting violently!
You aren't joking, right... Is my teaching quality actually this high?
The scene switched. After Boruto learned the Rasengan, he quickly found Sasuke.
Sasuke looked at the tiny Rasengan in front of Boruto, then shifted his gaze to Boruto's clothes.
He remembered his bet with Naruto.
After a period of training, Boruto's designer clothes had also become dirty...
"This Rasengan is too small... It's hard for me to admit that this is a Rasengan.
However, the basic method..."
Before Sasuke could finish speaking, Boruto angrily threw the Rasengan into the distance.
But the Rasengan thrown in mid-air just dissipated into a gust of wind.
Boruto, seeing the jutsu he spent three days mastering fail like this, looked furious, turned around, and ran away.
Sarada looked at her father with dissatisfaction.
"He jumped to conclusions too fast. I originally intended to take him as a disciple..."
Sasuke shook his head.
The two looked toward the trees in the distance.
There was a distinct spiral mark on one of the trees...
[Jiraiya: "Vanishing Rasengan?!"]
[Orochimaru: "Looks like Boruto is a genius... I am very curious what level that gust of wind from Boruto will reach!"]
[Senju Tsunade: "Orochimaru... are you trying to abduct children again?"]
[Orochimaru: "..."]
The visuals continued.
At Katasuke's suggestion, Boruto accepted the Scientific Ninja Tool.
The next day,
Boruto found Sasuke. With the help of cheating methods, he quickly created a complete Rasengan.
Sasuke possessed the Rinnegan and saw at a glance that Boruto was cheating, but he didn't point it out...
"You achieved this level in just one day?"
"I'm not like my dad... at least in terms of talent!" Boruto chuckled.
Sasuke nodded and turned to leave.
"Hey, are you going to take me as a disciple or not?"
"Fine, you can be my disciple."
Hearing these words, Boruto's eyes were filled with joy.
The scene switched.
In the evening, a bonfire was burning brightly.
Boruto turned to look at Sasuke, wanting to ask about his father.
"When your dad was your age, he shouted about becoming Hokage all day long. He was a complete 'dead last' (loser)." Sasuke said slowly.
"Dead last?" Boruto looked confused, not understanding what that meant.
"And he was exceptionally stubborn..." Sasuke didn't directly answer Boruto's confusion.
"No, that's not what I wanted to ask. I want to know Dad's weakness." Boruto shook his head.
"Weakness?"
Hearing Boruto's words, scenes from the past floated through Sasuke's mind.
At that time, Naruto was exceptionally lonely, sitting alone on the swing...
"Listen well. That guy was full of weaknesses, almost good for nothing. But through his own efforts, he grew step by step and finally became the Hokage."
Sasuke looked at Boruto meaningfully.
"You don't need to look only at the current Naruto. You need to understand the Naruto who walked the path to become who he is."
"What does that mean..." Boruto couldn't make heads or tails of it.
[Uzumaki Naruto: "Hehehe... I didn't expect to really become the Hokage in the future!"]
[Uchiha Obito: "..."]
Inside a cave.
Obito looked at Naruto's wish, his eyes complex.
"The dead last counterattacked and became Hokage... If back then..."
Obito stopped halfway through his sentence, his eyes quickly becoming firm.
No, my goal is to achieve peace in the Ninja World. I've come this far; I can't turn back now!
[Namikaze Minato: "Obito, what's wrong?"]
[Uchiha Obito: "Nothing..."]
The visuals continued.
Boruto began training in Shurikenjutsu with Sasuke.
Sasuke casually flicked his wrist, and the shuriken flew out like lightning, instantly showing off right in Boruto's face.
Boruto was instantly stunned. Master Sasuke's shuriken skills are way too awesome, right?!
The crowd watching the video was equally shocked.
[Kurotsuchi: "This is the Shurikenjutsu of the Uchiha clan..."]
[Mizukage Terumi Mei: "Truly impressive!"]
[Senju Hashirama: "Madara, can you do this to this extent?"]
[Uchiha Madara: "Hmph, I can do this level of shuriken throwing casually!"]
[Uchiha Izuna: "As expected of Big Brother!!"]
[Senju Tobirama: "Heh, two evil Uchihas... This old man will..."]
[Uchiha Tajima: "Hmph, cunning Senju clan!"]
[Senju Butsuma: "Evil Uchiha..."]
[Second Tsuchikage Mu: "Just asking... do the Senju and Uchiha always greet each other like this?"]
...
(The pacing of this book will be a bit slow... The first 30 chapters are for screening/setup, the plot afterwards is high energy all the way!)
(If it's not good, come hit me! Wuwuwu (ó﹏ò｡) [crying face])
