To a child, the world is black and white.
To an adult, the mix of gray surpasses both black and white combined.
Morality?
It's merely a guideline to regulate the thoughts of ordinary people.
Look at those living in luxury, indulging in pleasures, the high and mighty nobles and daimyos. How many of them see ordinary people as their equals?
Even in the great ninja villages, even in Konoha, where the Will of Fire is often spoken, how many upheld morality on their path to rise?
Asking such a question would only make them laugh.
If possible, Gensou would love to live in a world where everyone is morally upright and saintly.
But the true nature of the world is as it is, and he could only go with the flow.
Is he supposed to start a revolution to change everything?
Too exhausting.
He had no interest in that.
Besides, compared to being bound by a piece of paper that governs everyone,
Gensou would rather be the master of that paper, not just a name within it.
Such is human nature.
Gensou openly admitted he was part of the mundane masses.
And hearing Gensou's self-aware yet indifferent words,
Naruto clenched his fists tightly.
"You..."
Lacking the experience to understand the true nature of society and humanity, Naruto was frustrated seeing Gensou's attitude of knowing his wrongs but not caring.
In the end, he resorted to what he did best, the only way he knew.
"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! The dense army of shadow clones appeared once again.
"Naruto, you idiot!"
This time, Jiraiya couldn't stand by and joined the fray, his long white hair flaring out: "Ninja Art: Needle Jizo!"
Numerous hair strands shot out like needles towards Gensou.
Gensou didn't move, merely opening his mouth slightly to release a highly corrosive vapor, which spread around him.
Sizzle, sizzle.
The needle-like hair strands dissolved mid-air before reaching Gensou.
"Everyone, attack!"
Naruto's clones, undeterred, charged into the vapor like a suicide squad.
Bang, bang, bang.
White smoke erupted continuously.
Seeing this, Gensou's mouth twitched.
Shadow clones transmit all sensations back to the original when they disperse.
Being corroded by vapor was not a pleasant experience.
Yet Naruto seemed unaffected, as if nothing had happened.
Gensou could only sigh at another cheat-like existence similar to Hashirama .
But he had no time for more sighing.
As Naruto's clone army continued charging in, the vapor couldn't keep up with their numbers.
"If I were at my peak, this wouldn't be so taxing."
Gensou shook his head, watching as one Naruto clone after another surged towards him, excitedly shouting:
"Got you!"
Learning from his previous experience, Naruto abandoned technique, opting for a brute-force approach, leaping at Gensou with outstretched arms and legs.
Gensou dismantled one clone after another.
But their numbers were overwhelming.
Before long, the smoke from the vanishing clones momentarily obscured his vision, allowing a clone to latch onto his left leg like a monkey.
"Haha!"
The other clones, eyes shining, charged in with renewed vigor.
Soon, Gensou found himself swarmed by Naruto clones hanging onto him like monkeys.
"Is this meaningful?"
Gensou asked calmly, ready to act.
A clone hanging from his shoulder looked up, laughing,
"Of course it is!"
Instantly, the smoke in front of Gensou began swirling like a vortex.
Gensou raised an eyebrow.
Jiraiya, noticing, was surprised, "Naruto, you..."
Shizune, excited, exclaimed, "It's that jutsu from that night!"
As soon as she finished,
the familiar voice of Naruto rang out from the swirling smoke in front of Gensou: "Rasengan!"
The spinning chakra ball dispersed the smoke.
In a flash, Gensou saw Naruto charging towards his chest with a blue chakra ball in his hands.
"The Fourth Hokage's jutsu, fully mastered?" Jiraiya muttered, watching.
"No, still lacking," Gensou smirked.
Boom! Dust flew, and a powerful explosion erupted in front of Gensou.
As Shizune hoped,
Jiraiya, knowing the true nature of the Rasengan, frowned when he didn't see Gensou's figure flying back. He quickly rushed over.
As expected, when the dust settled, Naruto's right hand, which had held the Rasengan, was embedded in the ground, with a small vortex-shaped pit around it.
Standing there, with no clones attached, Gensou looked down at Naruto, amused:
"Using an unfinished jutsu, I commend your bravery."
If the Rasengan were so easily broken, it wouldn't have such a formidable reputation.
Naruto had displayed it convincingly, but Gensou's keen eyes easily spotted the instability within Naruto's Rasengan.
A slight disruption, like earlier, caused it to spiral out of control and strike the ground.
"Still not working?" Naruto felt dejected.
"Watch closely," Gensou spoke again.
Instinctively, Naruto looked up and saw Gensou extend his palm, saying,
"Rasengan lesson begins, free of charge this time."
In Naruto's astonished gaze, a perfectly formed blue chakra ball appeared in Gensou's hand.
"Rasengan!"
With the same casualness as any other jutsu, Gensou held the Rasengan and pressed it towards Naruto's chest.
"How is this possible?"
Naruto stared blankly.
The turn of events was too surreal.
He couldn't fathom that the enemy in front of him also knew the Rasengan.
Pervy Sage said this jutsu belonged to the Fourth Hokage.
Could it be...
"Wait, why am I thinking that? They look nothing alike!"
Even in such a moment, Naruto's scattered thoughts diverged.
"Naruto!"
Jiraiya's shout snapped him back.
Naruto looked up, only to see the familiar blue spiraling light of the Rasengan filling his vision.

====
Swoosh! The sound of intense air friction echoed.
Jiraiya swiftly moved behind Naruto, grabbing him by the neck and throwing him backward. At the same time, he formed a Rasengan in his other hand.
"Rasengan!"
The blue, high-speed rotating chakra ball appeared in his palm.
Jiraiya's eyes sharpened, and he pushed the Rasengan forward without hesitation.
Gensou did not retreat either.
In the next second, the two identical Rasengan collided.
Boom~~~ A dazzling blue light erupted.
Intense friction and collisions exploded continuously.
Gensou and Jiraiya's figures sank instantly, a massive crater forming beneath them.
Their black and white hair, respectively, were blown wildly backward as if hit by a storm.
Dust flew, stones scattered.
In the midst of the standoff, violent gusts of wind carried blue chakra strands, spreading out like a giant fan from the center of their clash.
One second, two seconds... Finally!
After one last intense friction, Gensou and Jiraiya exchanged a look.
Then,
Boom!
With a massive recoil, both flew backward at high speed, their Rasengan dissolving into blue sparks.
The sound of ninja sandals dragging on the ground echoed for a few seconds.
Jiraiya pulled his foot from the ground, looking at Gensou doing the same a short distance away, his expression growing more serious.
"Pervy Sage! Pervy Sage!"
Naruto ran over, pointing at Gensou in confusion,
"Pervy Sage, how can that guy use the Rasengan too?"
"Rasengan..."
Jiraiya, snapped out of his thoughts, shook his head,
"I don't know. But seeing it on him, after the initial surprise, it feels almost normal."
"You need to understand, he is a man who stood shoulder to shoulder with gods. Any jutsu in his hands would not be surprising."
As a direct disciple of the Third Hokage and one of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya had the means and interest to learn about historical figures.
Among them, Gensou, who developed numerous Kekkei Genkai and could perform any jutsu with astonishing talent, was someone he had studied.
Seeing it firsthand, Gensou indeed lived up to his reputation.
"Shoulder to shoulder with gods? What's that supposed to mean? Why isn't it surprising?" Naruto scratched his head, still not understanding Jiraiya's explanation.
But there was no time for Jiraiya to elaborate.
Gensou, having recovered, heard their conversation and smirked, "Rasengan? Just an A-rank jutsu. If this surprises you, let me show you its advanced version."
The Rasengan, like the Chidori, was a jutsu Gensou had figured out during the Warring States period, even further developing it.
He rarely demonstrated it publicly because he already had other powerful jutsu and Kekkei Genkai.
Unlike the Chidori's charging boost, with many options and few opponents forcing him to use his full strength, he seldom showcased it.
The few times he used it, the targets were already dead.
The only potential exposure was the Battle of the Valley of the End.
But against Hashirama's thousands of giant Buddha arms, the Rasengan's impact was negligible.
Now, with the future master of the Rasengan right here, it was a good time to display another use of the jutsu.
With a mischievous smile, Gensou opened his right hand again.
"One more time, will you hand over the Spirit Transformation Technique?"
No response.
"Alright."
The highly compressed blue chakra ball formed in Gensou's palm.
Jiraiya expected Gensou to attack with the Rasengan again and prepared to counter.
Suddenly, Jiraiya's pupils contracted as he noticed a new change in Gensou's Rasengan.
"This kind of nature and shape transformation... he has developed the Rasengan to this extent!"
Sizzle~~~ Under Jiraiya's astonished gaze, the Rasengan in Gensou's hand transformed into a giant spinning shuriken made of countless tiny chakra blades after wind chakra was infused.
This was the advanced version of the Rasengan, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!
In that instant, while Naruto exclaimed, "What is that?", Jiraiya felt a serious threat from Gensou's familiar yet strange jutsu.
Crack, crack. Gensou looked at his right arm, which was cracking under the strain of holding the Rasenshuriken.
"As expected, a regular body can't withstand the Rasenshuriken's backlash."
This was why Gensou rarely used the Rasenshuriken before.
Even someone as resilient as Naruto nearly lost the use of his right hand after using it the first time.
Anyone else would have their arm completely destroyed.
Gensou's Edo Tensei body was also reaching its limit.
So, it was time to throw it.
Gensou focused on Jiraiya and Naruto.
"Watch closely and learn."
"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"
Gensou swung his right arm.
In the next second, his right arm shattered completely.
Carrying a terrifying aura, the Rasenshuriken, moving at lightning speed, flew towards Jiraiya and Naruto with a piercing sound as it tore through the air.
"Watch out!"
Shizune, still healing herself, couldn't help but shout a warning.
Jiraiya, with an unprecedentedly serious expression, stood protectively in front of Naruto, biting his finger and slamming it onto the ground: "Summoning Jutsu!"
Boom! A huge cloud of white smoke erupted.
Before anyone could see what was inside, the rapidly spinning Rasenshuriken had already entered the smoke.
It felt as if time had stopped.
After a moment of silence, a blinding white light burst from within, dispersing the smoke and shooting into the sky.
Immediately after, a massive explosion, loud enough to be heard by Tsunade, echoed.
"What happened over there?"
Tsunade, having just punched Kabuto away, couldn't help but turn and look towards the explosion.
Orochimaru, also watching, narrowed his eyes as if he realized something and quickly signaled Kabuto.
Kabuto understood.
As Tsunade prepared to attack again, he pulled out a kunai and slashed his palm without hesitation.
Blood spurted like a fountain.
The sight of blood made Tsunade freeze, trembling all over, her face pale: "Blood..."
