"Wow… what a beautiful sister…"
Seeing Yugao appearing behind the door, Naruto was stunned for a moment before he reacted, saying with envy, "Damn… Yu, you're really making me so envious!!"
"Hehe… What an interesting kid…"
Watching Naruto's dazed expression, Yugao, held in Yu's arms, couldn't help but chuckle. Although as an ANBU Ninja she knew Naruto was the son of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, and the host of the Nine-Tails in Konoha, it was the first time she saw him up close today.
"So you came specifically to learn Rasengan from me…"
Surprised that Naruto, the protagonist, would seek him out to teach him Rasengan, Yu couldn't help but smile wryly. "Kid, the third round of the Chunin Exams is this afternoon. Isn't it a bit late for you to come and seek my help at the last minute?"
(Because of Yu's Presence, the third exam wasn't split into two rounds like in the original)
"However, I happen to be heading to watch Haku and Kimimaro's exams as well. Let's go, we can talk while we walk."
After saying this, Yu and Yugao went back inside to change into their clothes. After giving a brief explanation, Yu grabbed Naruto and they instantly disappeared from the spot.
"Considering that your father once helped me, I'll teach you Rasengan, but you only have one chance, so pay close attention."
In the next moment, Yu had brought Naruto to the street outside, which led to the venue for the third round of the Chunin Exams in Konoha.
"Among all the Ninjutsu that don't require hand signs, the A-rank Rasengan has the highest level of power, and it's an amazing Jutsu that grows with its user."
"The overall training process can be divided into four stages…"
"First stage, you need to learn to gather Chakra in the palm of your hand…"
As Naruto watched intently, Yu walked down the road, concentrating a ball of blue Chakra in his hand.
"Second stage, you need to continuously release Chakra steadily. For example, place a water-filled balloon in your hand and use Chakra to make the water inside the balloon move erratically until the balloon bursts."
As he spoke, Yu magically pulled a water-filled balloon from Kaio's alternate space, placed it in his palm, and gently released Chakra. The balloon immediately burst with a splash of water.
"Third stage, replace the water balloon with a rubber ball that's 100 times sturdier. Similarly, maintain the Chakra release from your palm and materialize it until you can break the rubber ball. When you complete this stage, Rasengan will already have slight destructive power."
While explaining, Naruto watched as Yu played with a solid rubber ball in his hand. With a slight release of Chakra, numerous swirling Chakras burst the entire rubber ball.
"Well then… finally, we have the last stage."
Next, under Naruto's focused gaze, Yu's hand emitted a ball of blue Chakra, and he activated Rasengan, forming a small, high-speed rotating orb in his palm, resembling a miniature typhoon.
Boom!!
After saying this, Yu casually threw the Rasengan, and a towering tree nearby was instantly split into two pieces by the powerful force, falling down and stirring up dust on both sides of the road, leaving Naruto dumbstruck.
"Wow… what an incredible Ninjutsu…"
Seemingly destined to be connected with this Ninjutsu, Naruto stared blankly with his azure eyes as he watched Yu demonstrate the Rasengan, as if he had glimpsed a whole new world.
"Alright, as for how much you can learn, it will depend on your own insight."
After demonstrating the four steps to training Rasengan, Yu couldn't help but smile wryly at Naruto's dazed expression.
Thinking back, he had started conceptualizing how to train this Ninjutsu as soon as he crossed into this world and had invested a lot of effort and energy to develop it successfully.
As a protagonist of a passionate anime, Naruto was a typical example of having low innate talent but high insight. Although he would undoubtedly succeed in learning this Ninjutsu in the end, he would inevitably face many setbacks along the way.
…
When Yu brought Naruto to the venue for the third round of the Chunin Exams in Konoha, the spectator stands were already packed, with a sea of people.
In addition to guests from Konoha and various countries, even the leaders and Daimyos from several nations had come to watch this Chunin Exam.
Seeing such a grand scene, Yu couldn't help but feel as though he had returned to his past life to watch a sports game. Scanning his surroundings, Yu quietly moved to the edge of the highest tier of the stands, leaning against it and observing the battle that had already begun in the arena below.
"Hey! Stupid Sasuke!!"
"I told you I just learned an amazing Ninjutsu from Yu! None of you will be my match now!!"
Sure enough, as soon as Naruto returned to the edge of the arena, he started bragging to Sasuke and Sakura.
"Idiot, going to that guy…"
Sasuke instinctively retorted, not believing that the reckless Naruto could learn any powerful Ninjutsu. However, upon hearing that Naruto had gone to Yu for training, his inner turmoil intensified, and the Cursed Seal of Heaven on the back of his neck began to throb again.
From this angle, Sasuke, dressed casually in black Ninja attire with his pale, messy hair falling loosely, gazed intently at the battle below with his deep amber eyes. Yu, watching the exam from above, looked like a perfect sculpture, isolated in a separate sphere of tranquility amidst the surrounding clamor, standing out starkly from the noisy environment.
"Hey, Kakashi, that person has also shown up…"
At the same time, almost all of Konoha's Jonin on the top tier had gathered together. Guy, wearing his green jumpsuit, was the first to notice Yu, who appeared alone in the stands of the Chunin Exam venue.
"Hmm, stay alert…"
Noting Guy's reaction, Kakashi merely nodded in response. Although they still didn't know Scarlet Yu's purpose for coming back, no one dared to question him—such is the deterrent power of strength.
"Yu…"
At that moment, only the Jonin standing next to Guy, who was also a Jonin, Kurenai, softly uttered the name.
With her red eyes, Kurenai gazed at Yu casually leaning against the railing from a distance. The two exchanged a knowing look before each revealing a mutual smile.
"Damn…"
Noticing Kurenai's affectionate gaze, Asuma, looking frustrated, dropped his cigarette and stomped it out with a firm step.
"I didn't expect that even at such a close distance, I couldn't recognize that the person was Orochimaru…"
Ignoring the strange looks from all around, Yu couldn't be bothered to guess their meaning. Instead, he quietly observed the main guest seats at the highest point below.
That's where the Third Hokage of Konoha and the Fourth Kazekage of Sand were seated. Watching them talk animatedly, Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Through Observation Haki, he could clearly sense the Chakra of Orochimaru emanating from the Fourth Kazekage.
"Sarutobi-sensei… you really are getting old…"
Yu then glanced downward and saw that the two Ninjas currently on stage were Kimimaro and Yoroi Akado.
"It seems the original plot has been completely disrupted by me…"
Kimimaro, representing the Land of Bears' Star Ninja Village, was facing Yoroi Akado from the Land of Rice Fields' Sound Ninja Village. Observing this battle, which was entirely different from the original storyline, Yu murmured to himself.
"Hehe… kid, I suggest you surrender now!!"
"I can absorb your Chakra through direct contact with my hands…"
Gazing at the arena, Yu saw that Yoroi Akado, a minor character, was still arrogantly boasting despite facing Kimimaro, who possessed elite Jonin-level strength.
Bang!!
Before Yoroi could finish his lines, he was ruthlessly kicked into the wall by the cold Kimimaro, delivering a decisive, one-sided defeat that shocked all the spectators.
"This child's strength…"
Watching Kimimaro's impressive performance, the Third Hokage's murky eyes flickered with a glint of sharpness. "Is he one of the two young men who came to Konoha with Yu, as Kakashi mentioned… It seems he cannot be judged by ordinary standards…"
Hmph, Kimimaro…
Has that child from the Kaguya Clan grown to this extent?
Focused on Kimimaro's performance, the Third Hokage failed to notice the fleeting greed and envy on the 'Fourth Kazekage's' face nearby…
