บท 115: 114- Fear of Plagiarism
'I have been putting this off for a long time, But maybe I need to learn the Rasengan or chidori'
Renjiro thought as he sat in the quiet solitude of his home, replaying the intense battle he had experienced with Ohashi in Ishigakure a few days ago.
The Sharingan's ability to recall and scrutinize past events in vivid detail proved invaluable to Renjiro. It allowed Renjiro to dissect the fight with clinical precision, identifying strengths and weaknesses in his fighting style. He replayed the sequences of the battle in his mind, examining the strategies and tactics employed by both himself and Ohashi.
As he continued with analysis, Renjiro couldn't help but acknowledge a sobering truth. While his victory over Ohashi, a jounin, was commendable, it wasn't solely due to his skill. A series of fortunate events had tilted the scales in his favour, leading to a victory that was as much about luck as it was about ability.
"Sigh!" Renjiro sighed and leaned back in his chair.
'Despite the fact that I managed to kill Ohashi, the first Jounin I went up against and won, if he was a tad bit smarter, I wouldn't even be here thinking about the fight and the Kurogane clan would have a shinobi with the sharingans.'
The most significant factor was the shockwave he had released upon awakening his second Chakra Seinou ability, the Adamantine Chains. This powerful shockwave had caused far more damage than any of his physical attacks, tipping the scales in his favour during the critical moments of the fight.
'If I hadn't awakened the Adamantine Chains at that exact time, Everything I had and have been working towards would have ended. It even makes me feel like I am a character in a book with how it happened just at the right time.'
'But who am I kidding, it probably happened due to the stressful situation I was in.' Renjiro concluded.
Renjiro also recalled how Ohashi's own actions had inadvertently contributed to his downfall. Summoning Mizuki had been a costly mistake for the jounin, as it had severely depleted his chakra reserves.
Fortunately, Renjiro had taken advantage of this by injuring Mizuki to the extent that it did not have any other option other than activating the reverse-summoning technique. This caused additional damage to Ohashi, whose body was already ravaged by the shockwave, indirectly weakening him more.
'While it wasn't my fault for fighting such a greedy and overconfident opponent, I need to make sure that the next time I face anyone during missions I have more chances of winning the fight or even in the worst case scenario, have ways of escaping.'
Renjiro decided because he knew that relying on the mistakes of others was not a sustainable strategy.
'The only props I can give to Ohashi are his ingenious use of Juinjutsu seals and his transformation technique.'
Ohashi's skill with Juinjutsu had been impressive, and his transformation had presented a formidable challenge that Renjiro was not sure he would overcome with brute force if his Genjutsu failed. These techniques forced him to adapt quickly and think on his feet, testing his abilities to their limits.
Moreover, Renjiro recognized the need to develop countermeasures against Juinjutsu. Ohashi's ingenious use of these seals demonstrated their potential to turn the tide of a battle.
Given their power and the element of surprise they could bring, Renjiro knew that understanding and neutralizing Juinjutsu would be crucial. He intended to study the concepts behind these seals from Ohashi's memories.
'But in order to do that, I need to learn some Yamanaka clan jutsus as planned. Should I start learning it now? Or wait until after I am done with the Force since I only have a couple of months left.'
While Renjiro had already seen Fujioka performing one of such jutsus, he could not completely memorize the chakra as Fujioka's mastery only afforded him gaps in how the technique worked.
''I think waiting should be the best thing to do, at least for now. I could be exposed to more situations where the jutsu is required which will make things easier once I start to learn it. I can even ask for tips from Fujioka if I don't get any exposure to the jutsu.'
'All in all, my current Jutsu repertoire needs some improvements. While it is impressive in its own way as I have already mastered all wind jutsus and I am closer to mastering the fire ones since I have been going around copying any and every shinobi I could, I don't have many destructive jutsus.'
'I guess this is how Kakashi felt since he knew over a thousand jutsus, but he only relied on a few ones he considered useful.'
Renjiro's go-to fire jutsus, although powerful, were designed to cover large areas and overwhelm multiple enemies, rather than focusing intense power on a single target.
Similarly, his Air Burst and Violent Wind jutsus, while effective in creating chaos and disarray among his foes, were also area-of-effect attacks that did not provide the precision and lethality required for close-quarters combat.
'I need a jutsu that can deliver a decisive blow at close range. The only jutsus that come to mind and I can learn quickly are the Rasengan and Chidori. The Rasengan could be perfect for a surprise attack, and the Chidori's speed could be the edge I need against a swift opponent.'
In addition to refining his offensive capabilities, Renjiro also considered the advantages of having a summoning contract. A powerful summon could provide invaluable support in battle, offering both offensive and defensive benefits.
'While it is a good idea, I need to put that off for some time. I will have to ask around and learn how the summoning seals are made and actually learn them which will be more time-consuming than learning the Chidori or Rasengan.'
Initially, Renjiro had been hesitant to pursue these jutsus. The Rasengan, currently was a concept Minato was working on and had not yet been widely shared.
In the case of the Chidori, its creator, Kakashi Hatake, was still a student at the academy. He had not even thought of this technique as its concept was based on the Rasengan.
Renjiro had felt that learning these jutsus before their creators had fully developed them would be akin to plagiarism. The thought of taking credit fro someone's work did not sit well with him. However, the pressing need for such powerful techniques in his arsenal had made him reconsider.
'I can't afford to wait any longer,' Renjiro thought, 'No one on the field will care about who created what jutsu first. I just need to survive and meet my required mission objectives."
The decision to learn these techniques now and deal with any consequences, which Renjiro wasn't sure would be positive or negative, later felt like a necessary compromise.
With his mind made up, Renjiro found himself in a unique position, he had the opportunity to choose between two of the most iconic jutsus that he as a fan of the franchise adored.
This choice left Renjiro feeling somewhat overwhelmed. Both the Rasengan and the Chidori had their own distinct advantages, and selecting the right one for his fighting style was crucial.
"While the Rasengan offers immense destructive power upon impact and is versatile and can be developed further, the Chidori is fast, piercing, and deadly, especially with the Sharingan to guide its strike." Renjiro thought out loud.
"Even though it is a good feeling knowing that you are spoilt for choice, the Rasengan would probably be the better option."
