Chapter 45 Teaching Rasengan
The lurking presence did not disturb the five people's joyful gathering.
The welcoming banquet lasted until late at night, and Jiraiya and Tsunade were already completely drunk.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was still relatively sober, only slightly tipsy.
Minato and Kushina were the most restrained, only drinking a few cups.
When it came time to pay the bill, the two drunkards were naturally unreliable.
Both Hoshino Senju and Minato vied to pay, but Minato insisted on paying, saying, "This is Master's welcome banquet." Besides, Hoshino Senju was about to teach him the Rasengan, so it was only right that he should express his gratitude.
Seeing that Hoshino Senju was clear-headed, Minato asked him to escort Tsunade home, while he himself would take care of Jiraiya and Kushina.
Senju Hoshino wisely refrained from asking if Kushina also lived in the Senju mansion, and readily agreed.
The two drunkards were still mumbling "not drunk" and "let's drink some more," but the three ignored them and helped each other away.
Despite having physical contact with Tsunade all night, Hoshino Senju was unusually polite at this moment.
Tsunade's drunken state is indeed charming, but her excessive "charm" makes people afraid to defile her—if a drunken Tsunade instinctively throws a powerful punch, it would be a miracle if one could survive.
Servants were already waiting in front of the Thousand Hands Mansion.
Xingyuan Qianshuo carefully entrusted Tsunade to his care, watched her figure disappear through the door, and then turned and left.
……
The next morning.
Xingyuan Qianshuo went to Konoha Hospital as usual, but made an exception and did not leave a shadow clone to cultivate at home.
As agreed, Minato arrived at the hospital on time to pick him up, and together they went to the training ground to teach him Rasengan.
Therefore, Xingyuan Qianshuo specially reported to Teacher Biwahu and took a photo at the hospital to stand guard.
The clone is sufficient to handle common ailments. In case of a difficult situation, it can be deactivated at any time to send the information back to the main body.
Shuimen's residence is located on the west side, on the edge of the main urban area, offering a quiet retreat amidst the hustle and bustle, convenient living, and easy access to the training ground.
This is a two-story house with its own courtyard and a well-maintained garden, exuding cleanliness and warmth.
According to Watergate, this property was left to them by their parents.
Xingyuan Qianshuo secretly speculated that this might be the place where Minato and Kushina lived together after their marriage in the original work.
Kushina was already waiting in the living room. When she saw him come in, she waved to him warmly, and her every move showed the demeanor of a hostess.
For a moment, Hoshino couldn't tell whether Kushina had arrived early in the morning or stayed overnight.
It's unlikely to be the latter—after all, the views on love in the Naruto world are relatively conservative, and Kushina is likely to be under constant surveillance and protection by the Anbu.
Unlike last night's impromptu demonstration at the barbecue restaurant, today's Rasengan tutorial requires a sufficiently spacious venue.
Fortunately, the Minato family's house was next to the Third Training Ground—the very place where the medical skills class had practiced climbing trees last time.
Without delay, the three headed straight for the training ground.
During the journey, Xingyuan Qianshuo subtly activated his "sensitive sense of smell" and indeed detected two auras that had been following him.
Although Kushina has not yet officially become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, as the designated candidate, her safety is crucial to the overall situation of Konoha—especially after the attempted kidnapping incident by Kumogakure, it is reasonable for the Anbu to protect her covertly.
"Will they keep following us?" Xingyuan Qianshuo asked casually.
"Chisaku, you noticed?" Minato asked, slightly surprised.
Xingyuan Qianshuo pointed to the tip of his nose: "I know some secret techniques to enhance my sense of smell."
"I'll ask them to keep their distance." Minato understood, guessing that he was worried about the spread of ninjutsu.
Xingyuan Qianshuo has his own secrets and instinctively dislikes this kind of surveillance.
Minato instantly left to communicate with the Anbu, while Hoshino Senju and Kushina continued on their way.
The third exercise area covers a vast area.
Around eight o'clock in the morning, the ninjas who had been exercising had already left one after another, and the training ground was sparsely populated.
They found a secluded corner.
Hoshino Senju noticed a hint of melancholy in Kushina's expression—
Although she was already used to being watched by the underworld, those ever-present gazes reminded her of her "uniqueness" and the heavy burden she would have to bear in the future.
"Are those two ninjas from the Anbu?" Hoshino Senju asked directly.
"Hmm," Kushina responded listlessly.
"You must have had a hard time," Hoshino Chisaku comforted him gently.
"Yeah, right!" This immediately opened Kushina's floodgates. She pouted and complained, "They have to be so nervous even though Minato's here!"
"Minato's abilities are indeed reassuring."
"Of course! Minato is the best!" Kushina's face immediately lit up with a smile when her lover was mentioned.
As they were talking, Minato returned and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kushina's smile return.
Xingyuan Qianshuo no longer delayed and officially began teaching Rasengan.
Last night, in order to save face in front of Jiraiya, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to start a conversation and then offered to teach him the Rasengan.
But the transmission of ninjutsu is not something to be taken lightly; he needs to make the two of them understand the value of this technique first.
"Minato, Kushina, I'll demonstrate the Rasengan's effectiveness in actual combat first."
"Rasengan!"
Xingyuan Qianshuo held the object in his palm, and chakra rapidly gathered, spun, and compressed, instantly condensing into a buzzing chakra ball.
He flashed forward, his Rasengan striking the giant rock beside him—
Boom!
Amidst the deafening roar, dust billowed up.
In the center of a giant rock four or five meters high, a neat circular hole with a diameter of more than two meters has been carved out, penetrating to a depth of four or five meters!
Under precise control, the Rasengan is extremely concentrated, focusing on penetrating power.
The giant rock remains standing, but a tunnel has been built through its center.
The aftershocks carved a trench more than 20 meters long into the ground behind the rock, reaching all the way to the riverbank.
The river water was churning and surging, waves crashing against the banks and rushing away along the river channel.
Minato and Kushina, with their exceptional insight, immediately judged that this unsealed ninjutsu was rank A in both difficulty and power.
What's even more remarkable is that it's perfectly suited to their own conditions; once they learn it, their combat effectiveness will inevitably increase significantly.
Now they're indebted to them.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was very satisfied with the demonstration results.
The power of a master-level Rasengan is indeed extraordinary.
He said calmly:
"I named this technique 'Rasengan'."
"When I was studying chakra control, I saw children playing and kicking a ball, and I suddenly had an inspiration to try to condense chakra into a rotating sphere."
"After much trial and error, I unexpectedly created this technique."
Although this origin story is not as legendary as Minato's inspiration from the Tailed Beast Ball, isn't it a manifestation of wisdom to draw inspiration from ordinary things?
Just like in the past, the legend of Newton and the apple, whether true or false, has become a classic fable for scientific enlightenment.
Perhaps one day in the future, the story of "Rasengan and Soccer" will also become widely known in the ninja world.
At this moment, as expected, Minato and Kushina showed expressions of amazement on their faces.
Instead of feeling ashamed, Hoshigen Chisaku felt extremely pleased to show off in front of the "original creator" of the Rasengan.
