Chapter 172 Six Hundred Billion Explosive Tags, Kakuzu Rises from His Coffin [First Update]
"What kind of technique is this Wind Release: Rasenshuriken? Is it a variant of the Rasengan?" Minato Namikaze, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity when he heard this.
Based on their conversation, this should be developed based on the Rasengan.
The Rasengan uses non-attribute chakra to condense into a high-pressure energy ball, thus possessing astonishing destructive power. Judging from the description, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken seems to incorporate Wind Release chakra, giving this technique terrifying cutting ability.
"Yes, it's based on the Rasengan, which incorporates elemental transformations. Later, Naruto developed a series of techniques based on the Rasengan," Kitahara Kaede nodded and said. "For example, the Giant Rasengan, the Super Giant Rasengan, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, the Wind Release: Rasengan, the Wind Release: Super Giant Rasenshuriken, the Sage Art: Rasengan, the Sage Art: Giant Rasengan, the Sage Art: Super Giant Rasengan, the Sage Art: Wind Release: Giant Rasenshuriken, and so on."
Listening to this series of new ninjutsu derived from the Rasengan, Minato Namikaze was amazed, because he never imagined that the Rasengan he developed could be used in so many ways. In fact, this is a mode that only Naruto Uzumaki can master.
Because apart from the Rasengan, other types of Rasengan either require a massive amount of chakra, a special Sage Mode, or the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
In short, these are modes that others can't play.
For example, Minato Namikaze, if we only consider intelligence, he is definitely no less than Naruto Uzumaki. If Naruto Uzumaki had enough time, he might have been able to develop the same things, but since he himself cannot use that model, it is meaningless.
"Ah, there are so many kinds of Rasengan." Naruto Uzumaki was also shocked. He hadn't even finished developing the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken yet.
"Not bad. To be able to develop my ninjutsu to this extent, he truly deserves to be my son. He's a genius," Minato Namikaze said with a smile.
Unlike Fugaku Uchiha's strict upbringing, Minato Namikaze was clearly more expressive and never hesitated to praise his children.
Moreover, being able to develop a series of S-rank ninjutsu from one's own A-rank ninjutsu—what else could that be but genius?
As for Naruto Uzumaki, upon hearing these words, his eyes immediately reddened, because he had never been praised as a genius. Even though his several teachers had treated him well, the title of genius always belonged to Sasuke Uchiha. No one had ever told him, "You are also a genius."
"However, I don't think calling it Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is impressive enough. Otherwise, I'll think of a completely new name for it," Minato Namikaze said.
"don't want!"
Kitahara Kaede immediately called for a halt.
He knows Minato Namikaze too well; if you asked him to name someone, he'd come up with a whole bunch of random, nonsensical names.
"Hahahaha."
Minato Namikaze laughed awkwardly.
Time flies, and before we knew it, night had fallen.
Kitahara Kaede took out some dry rations from his backpack and distributed them to everyone. After they finished eating, everyone waited silently for Aburame Shii and Akimichi Choza, who had gone to investigate, to bring back news.
Kitahara Kaede took out his diary from his backpack and began recording today's events. Although he had arrived in a parallel universe, this had become an instinctive memory for him.
[That damn Danzo, it was him again. After the Third Hokage kept an eye on him, he secretly sent someone to the underground gold exchange to put a 10 million ryo bounty on me, which ended up attracting Kakuzu, that old money-grubber.]
To be fair, the Hokage would have fallen apart without that cunning Danzo. There's nothing he wouldn't dare to get involved in, and we'll settle this score with him sooner or later.
Kakuzu, the Akatsuki's steward, really put in a lot of effort to make money for the organization. He worked hard for decades to earn all that money, only to have it all wiped out by Konan's 600 billion explosive tags in one go. If Kakuzu knew this, he'd probably rise from his grave in fury.
In Konoha, in the Third Hokage's office, as usual, the Third Hokage was working overtime all night again. For the Hokage, working overtime all night was almost commonplace, and not working overtime was a rare occurrence.
In the Third Hokage's office, as he flipped through the documents that Kakashi Hatake had just handed him, he smoked and said, "Have you confirmed that Kabuto Yakushi is a spy sent by Orochimaru?"
"Yes."
Before him, Kakashi Hatake spoke respectfully.
After learning from Kitahara Kaede's diary that Yakushi Kabuto was a spy sent by Orochimaru, he secretly began gathering information.
Without sufficient evidence, he didn't want to alert Orochimaru; there was no need to rush into dealing with him.
Because Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha wouldn't be launched until the Chunin Exams, there was still time to make arrangements.
The Third Hokage looked at the information about Kabuto Yakushi in the documents. Miyo's orphan background was nothing special, but when he read about Kabuto's admiration and the information about Nono Yakushi, past memories immediately surfaced in his mind.
Because he remembered that this Pharmacist Nonou was a member of Root.
Although Shimura Danzo managed Root like an ironclad fortress, the Third Hokage actually knew quite a bit about Root and was aware of many secrets.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have known about the appearance of the Wood Release ninja so quickly, and wouldn't have been able to lead the Anbu to raid Root and seize Yamato, who had just completed the experiment, causing Danzo Shimura to suffer a huge loss.
He has a roster of all the members of the root group.
Yakushi Nonou is a person on the roster, but she is not ranked very high because she is not strong and is disliked within Root. Later, she became the director of the Konoha Orphanage.
It is clear that Yakushi Kabuto was adopted by her around that time. Later, she was supposedly sent out on a mission by Shimura Danzo, and there are no more records after that.
However, he can only be considered a minor figure in any case, but he was involved with Kabuto Yakushi, and from Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru was also involved.
He vaguely saw a thread connecting them: the tantalizing collaboration between Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru, their relationship a complex and intertwined one.
They were birds of a feather before, especially Orochimaru. Why did Orochimaru become the code name of the first generation of Root? Wasn't it because he sent Orochimaru to assist Shimura Danzo, and at the same time to monitor him?
Who knew that these two, who were birds of a feather, would later get together?
They made their surveillance a laughing stock, and the two even teamed up to experiment on the village's ninjas.
Yamato was just one of the very few successful ninja experiments.
"Danzo, Orochimaru, hmph."
The third generation leader exhaled a puff of smoke and snorted coldly.
He didn't know whether there was still collusion between the two sides, or rather, he had already concluded in his heart that there must be collusion. The only difference was whether he had obtained evidence or whether he was willing to obtain it.
"This Kabuto Yakushi is very strong, at least at the Jonin level in terms of combat power."
Kakashi Hatake assessed the strength that Kabuto Yakushi had demonstrated in Kitahara Kaede's diary.
"A Jonin-level ninja as an undercover agent? Orochimaru certainly has a grand scheme to go." The Third Hokage sneered.
Jonin-level ninjas are considered important combat forces anywhere.
However, he wasn't too surprised. With his three troublesome disciples, which of the Sannin didn't have a large number of spies in Konoha? Back then, they carried out a targeted purge of Orochimaru's people, but there were still a large number of ninjas hidden in the shadows serving Orochimaru.
He knew this, because it was very difficult to completely eliminate; the relationships were intricate and complex, and it wasn't something that could be easily untangled.
They were all former army commanders; none of them lacked connections.
Just like his friend Danzo Shimura, is his power and influence limited to Root?
He has no one else anywhere else?
The difficulty for Konoha lies precisely in this situation where everyone is intertwined with each other.
"Hokage-sama, shall we proceed with the arrest?"
Kakashi Hatake asked.
"Don't do anything for now. I'll have the Anbu monitor him, trying not to alert him, and see if we can follow the clues to find some of Orochimaru's spies hidden in the village," the Third Hokage said, waving his hand.
In his eyes, a mere Jonin-level undercover agent was nothing special. Even capturing Orochimaru's undercover agent was not a big deal; he could just leave it to his subordinates.
In any case, as long as he gives an order, his subordinates will run themselves ragged.
Suddenly, Kakashi Hatake sensed that the diary was being updated. Just then, the Third Hokage said, "Alright, Kakashi, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. You've been working hard leading the team lately."
"Yes," Kakashi Hatake replied.
After leaving the Third Hokage's room, Kakashi Hatake immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to rush home.
Within the Land of Fire, at a Senju clan stronghold, Tsunade was meticulously practicing her taijutsu, oblivious to the fact that her clothes were soaked with sweat.
Shizune, standing to the side, looked at Tsunade with a strange expression.
Some time ago, Tsunade completely transformed into a Tsunade that Tsunade was almost unrecognizable to herself. First of all, she quit gambling, which was an incredible thing in itself.
Everyone knows that it is extremely difficult for a gambler to quit, but Tsunade did it.
She knew this very well. Tsunade was not pretending, nor did she need to pretend to anyone. There was no one in the world who could control her.
Therefore, Tsunade genuinely wanted to quit gambling, which made her very happy.
Otherwise, it would be heartbreaking to see Tsunade lose money every day. She has also sold off a lot of the Senju clan's ancestral property. Otherwise, where would she get the money to keep losing? After all, although Tsunade's luck is not good, her gambling etiquette is very good. Otherwise, she wouldn't be called a big fat sheep.
