Chapter 30: The Key Point Is You Really Can't Handle Little Hanabi—Let Big Bro Take Care of It
"Can Little Konohamaru not come out today?"
Another one of Naruto's puppet shadow clones
lay under a large tree with eyes closed, resting.
Occasionally, he cracked one eyelid to glance around.
This was the same spot where he had met Konohamaru yesterday.
The hidden ANBU presences around them had completely vanished.
Looked like quite a few ANBU were willing to support him.
Naruto planned to wait another two hours.
If Konohamaru still didn't show up,
he'd simply let this puppet clone disappear.
"Wuwuwu… Big bro lied to me…"
A child's sobbing voice rang out.
It was Konohamaru.
Right now, Konohamaru's face was bruised and swollen.
He was crying pitifully,
looking like he had suffered the greatest injustice in the world.
Naruto opened his eyes.
Seeing Konohamaru beaten into a pig-headed mess,
his expression immediately darkened.
Who the hell dared to hit his little brother?
Naruto stood up and walked over.
"Who beat you? Tell me—I'll go teach them a lesson."
Konohamaru sniffled and hiccupped,
face full of grievance.
"I… it was my uncle Asuma."
Naruto paused.
It wasn't that he couldn't beat the current Asuma—
he could completely dominate him, no problem.
The real question was: why would Asuma beat Konohamaru?
"Can you tell me the reason?"
Konohamaru wiped his tears, looking utterly miserable:
"It's all because of that training book big bro gave me yesterday."
Naruto suddenly understood.
Little guy—who told you not to hide it better?
Parading that little book around at home?
Of course you got beaten.
If I were your uncle, I'd have hit even harder.
Family matters are hard for outsiders to judge.
He wasn't going to meddle in other people's household affairs.
"I don't remember telling you to show it off everywhere, right?"
Konohamaru immediately looked even more aggrieved!
"I… wuwuwu…"
His face was bruised green and purple.
Naruto asked curiously:
"You didn't rat me out, did you?"
Konohamaru wiped his tears and shook his head like a rattle drum.
"No… no, I didn't tell on big bro. I said I found the book myself."
"Pfft… hahahaha… alright, stop crying. Today your big bro is going to teach you some real stuff."
Naruto laughed unapologetically.
But when he said "real stuff," he meant it.
Konohamaru paused mid-sob, snot bubble forming.
His eyes filled with anticipation!
"Okay… okay!"
"Show me the Seduction Technique you learned yesterday. Oh right—transform like the picture in this book."
Naruto pulled out a teen girl magazine he had casually bought on the way.
He pointed to a sexy photo of a woman
wearing a white sailor uniform.
Beautiful features, curvaceous figure.
As everyone who's watched the Naruto anime knows:
in the original story, Konohamaru actually self-taught Rasengan.
After Naruto told him about Rasengan,
he went with his friends to gather information
and eventually figured it out himself!
There's a saying: the two true geniuses of Naruto—one taught an idiot Rasengan, the other learned Rasengan from the idiot.
But the current Naruto wasn't that idiot anymore.
With the system in hand,
he could just give it directly.
Why bother learning step by step?
"Ninja Art: Seduction Technique!"
Konohamaru clumsily formed a random hand seal.
For some reason,
Naruto's self-created ninjutsu felt extremely natural to Konohamaru.
He quickly became proficient.
Bang—
Konohamaru successfully transformed!
Though not 100% identical to the picture,
it was still seventy to eighty percent similar.
He—Konohamaru Sarutobi—future genius ninja who might become Hokage after Naruto,
learning Seduction Technique
was as easy as breathing and eating!
But… the bruises on his face were still there.
Though they had faded slightly,
they remained obvious.
Extremely comical.
"Pfft…" Naruto laughed again without shame.
The girl-transformed Konohamaru puffed out her cheeks in anger:
"Big bro, you've been laughing nonstop since I got here! Is it really that funny?"
"I just thought of something funny—stop talking nonsense. Demon training starts now."
Naruto took out a water balloon in his left hand.
He had never systematically learned Rasengan.
But he understood the teaching method perfectly.
He believed no one in the world knew Rasengan better than him.
"Watch closely and don't blink. Make the water balloon burst with a bang. That's the first stage of learning Rasengan. There are three stages total."
"This is stage one."
Konohamaru stared wide-eyed, fully focused on the water balloon in Naruto's hand.
Bang—
The balloon exploded.
Water mist splashed onto her face.
"Wow… big bro, that's so cool!"
Konohamaru exclaimed, clapping excitedly.
"Here—try it."
Naruto tossed another water balloon over.
Konohamaru stumbled and clumsily caught it.
"Follow exactly what I did just now."
"Okay!"
Konohamaru stared intently at the water balloon in her hand.
Her face turned red from effort.
The balloon showed no change at all.
After five full minutes,
Konohamaru's shoulders slumped in defeat:
"Big bro… I… I can't do it."
"That's normal—because you haven't found the method that suits you yet."
"A method that suits me? How do I even find that?!!"
Everyone has their own way of learning things.
If you just blindly fumble around like a blind person touching an elephant,
the success rate is minuscule.
Way too slow.
But… to Naruto, none of this was a problem.
"Here—take this."
"Ah… okay… okay."
Konohamaru reached out with her other hand and took the pink hula hoop.
Naruto said seriously:
"Technique! Pay attention to technique! Technique is how you find the feeling of flow!"
"Once you feel the flow, learning Rasengan will become twice as easy!"
"Think back carefully to the scene I just showed you—was it like this?"
Konohamaru recalled.
The balloon had spun wildly in Naruto's hand
before exploding.
Exactly like he said.
"Big bro, then what's the hula hoop for?"
"To help you better understand the feeling of flow. Spin the hula hoop while sensing the energy inside your body. This is the method I carefully researched just for your situation."
"Big bro…"
Konohamaru felt a warm rush in her heart.
Naruto's words
were so warm and caring.
If she were really a girl,
marrying such a great guy
and giving him a hundred little monkeys
would be perfect.
Naruto's original and most fundamental plan
was simply to have Konohamaru master Rasengan,
then later teach it to his own kids.
Teaching his own children personally might be too annoying.
They might not listen to dad.
Having someone else familiar teach them would work better.
Later, when he became Hokage, there would be endless work.
The stronger Konohamaru got,
the easier it would be for him to be a hands-off Hokage.
The key point is:
Little Hanabi—you really can't handle her. Let big bro take care of it!
