After Sarutobi Hiruzen explained the purpose of their visit, Kazekaze put on his outdoor haori and followed them. Along the way, Kazekaze asked Sarutobi Hiruzen why Tobirama suddenly wanted to see him. But even Hiruzen wasn't quite sure of the exact reason. Kazekaze decided not to ask any more questions and silently followed Hiruzen to find Tobirama.
Although he didn't know what Tobirama wanted, Kazekaze had something he wanted to discuss with Tobirama. Before long, Kazekaze arrived at the training ground he often used. Tobirama was standing there with his arms crossed, waiting for him for quite some time. When he saw Kazekaze arrive, the corners of his mouth lifted into a slight smile. It wasn't a doting smile, but more of a proud one. Tobirama... Was feeling proud.
Kazekaze: "???"
What on earth could make Tobirama so proud?
"You're here, Kazekaze," Tobirama said with a smile.
"Yes, so what's the matter?" Kazekaze got straight to the point.
Although Kazekaze had now firmly decided to go to Mount Myoboku, he didn't rush to blurt it out. In fact, Hiruzen and Danzo were also quite curious. The reason Tobirama had them bring Kazekaze over.
Soon, Tobirama took two steps forward, coming to stand in front of Kazekaze. One of his hands dropped naturally, while the forearm of the other remained level, then he opened his palm.
"Kazekaze, watch closely."
Tobirama's voice was low, and his expression became sharp. It was clear that Tobirama was very serious at this moment. His attention was highly focused, as if no one else was around. Then...
Tobirama precisely controlled his own chakra, gathering it towards his palm. The pale blue chakra flowed like a stream in his hand. More and more chakra emerged, then began to flow in irregular directions. And... It grew brighter and brighter.
Hiruzen and Danzo's eyes were deeply drawn to it. They were not unfamiliar with this scene. Because Kazekaze had used this jutsu more than once. After two or three breaths, the chakra in Tobirama's palm formed into a chakra sphere. It was... The Rasengan!
Kazekaze blinked, his eyes filled with incredulity. He really learned it. Truly worthy of being called the God of Ninjutsu. Senju Tobirama!
"How about it, Kazekaze? Watch closely, Kazekaze."
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the Rasengan burst in Tobirama's hand, unleashing a violent force. It destroyed the entire ground layer by layer. Cracks spread outwards, stopping only at the feet of Hiruzen and Danzo. Like a spider web. The diameter was at least seven or eight meters. This was Tobirama, worried about excessive destructive power, not using his full strength. If he had used full strength. The power would have been even greater. Without a doubt, Tobirama had now completely mastered the Rasengan.
Clap clap clap. Clap clap clap. Seeing this, Kazekaze raised his two small hands and began to applaud Tobirama. Immediately. Hiruzen and Danzo also imitated Kazekaze's actions. Clap clap clap. Clap clap clap!
Tobirama: "???"
Why does it feel like I'm the seven-year-old child here?
"So, Grandpa Tobirama, you specifically had Hiruzen and Danzo call me here just to show off that you learned the Rasengan?" Kazekaze couldn't help but take a deep breath, a black line appearing on his face. Because he really hadn't expected Tobirama to call him over for something like this. If it was just to show off that he learned the Rasengan. He could have demonstrated it when coming home from work.
"Ahem." Seeing this, Tobirama quickly cleared his throat. At the same time, Tobirama couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated inside. What was this sense of defeat? The Rasengan is difficult, okay? It's an S-rank jutsu! However, Tobirama quickly realized why he felt defeated. Because in his eyes, the Rasengan was an amazing jutsu. But... In Kazekaze's eyes, the Rasengan was just a jutsu he developed casually. Damn it! If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to the trouble!
Tobirama exerted great effort to suppress his emotions.
"Of course not, I had Hiruzen bring you here for something important."
"Something important?" Kazekaze tilted his head and asked.
"Yes, do you remember what I told you before? About the principle of the Rasengan." Tobirama paused slightly, then continued, "The Rasengan is a jutsu that maximizes the use of chakra. Although it has the advantage of not needing hand seals and having great power, there is still much room for development in this jutsu. That is, injecting chakra nature transformation!"
As soon as Tobirama said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned on the spot. As someone proficient in five types of ninjutsu, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew well what nature transformation was. In his view, trying to add nature transformation to a jutsu like the Rasengan. Was simply as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
In fact, when Sarutobi Hiruzen was bored, he also tried to learn the Rasengan. However, no matter how he tried, no matter how hard he worked, he couldn't learn this jutsu. Now, Tobirama-sama actually wanted to add nature transformation to the Rasengan. It was truly beyond his expectations. The Rasengan itself was already an extremely difficult jutsu!
However, just as Hiruzen and Danzo were feeling admiration for Tobirama... Tobirama's next words nearly made them stumble.
"Although I can't do it." They thought Tobirama had already added nature transformation to Kazekaze's Rasengan. But it turned out, Tobirama-sama hadn't managed it at all!
"But I think, with your talent, you might be able to accomplish it." Tobirama ignored Hiruzen and Danzo and spoke to Kazekaze. Although Kazekaze was only seven years old this year, in Tobirama's heart. He no longer regarded Kazekaze as an ordinary seven-year-old child, but as a future Hokage.
Anyway, there weren't many tasks in the village recently that needed to be assigned to Kazekaze. Why not take this opportunity to help Kazekaze develop a new jutsu. If he could add nature transformation to the Rasengan. It would definitely enhance Kazekaze's strength. The most crucial thing is... Tobirama was very much looking forward to a Rasengan with nature transformation. Because according to his understanding of ninjutsu, if nature transformation could be added, then... The power of the Rasengan would be greatly increased. Combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique, it would definitely make other ninjas tremble in fear!
However, Tobirama's words made Kazekaze feel helpless. He really wanted to retort. Why, Grandpa Tobirama, is your thinking always a step slower than my clocking speed? So Danzo's slow reaction was inherited from you?
