The Nine-tails stared blankly at Aomi's teaching method.
Learning Kekkeitota, when broken down into steps, is actually quite simple.
It's like putting an elephant in a refrigerator: open the door, put the elephant in, and then close it.
To master Dust Release, in theory, you just need to fuse the Wind, Fire, and Earth Chakra Attributes, harmonize their natures, and then use Form Transformation to create a barrier that can atomize matter, and that's it.
This sounds like nonsense...
But that's exactly how Aomi was teaching Naruto, right in front of the Nine-tails, even more excessively!
The threshold for Ninjutsu lies greatly in the proficiency with Nature Transformation and Form Transformation.
Ninjas with mastery over the Fire, Wind, and Earth Chakra Attributes are countless in the Ninja World, probably even in the thousands...
But only Second Tsuchikage Mu and his disciple Onoki have mastered Dust Release.
Even masters like Senju Tobirama and the later Orochimaru couldn't replicate this Kekkeitota.
Easy to say, hard to do.
The Wind, Fire, and Earth Chakra natures are just the ingredients for the dish that is Dust Release.
In the hands of a master, they become a supreme feast; in the hands of the mediocre, they turn into something edible, like some higher-level Five Elements Jutsu, which is already pretty good...
But Aomi is different.
He first prepares the dish and lets Naruto savor it in big mouthfuls.
Having mastered Dust Release to perfection, Aomi can control this dangerous barrier with utmost precision.
Even Naruto, a rookie from the Ninja Academy, can maintain the Dust Release barrier with his own Chakra under Aomi's guidance.
This is something neither Onoki nor Mu could accomplish...
They could only unleash Dust Release, using the dangerous barrier as an offensive weapon, but could not manipulate it like a toy, as Aomi does.
After all, they are mere mortals, while Aomi is already of the Otsutsuki Clan!
"So, this is what it feels like..."
Sweat trickled down Naruto's forehead as he diligently focused on maintaining the Dust Release handed to him by Aomi, immersing himself in the Chakra flow, gradually forming muscle memory.
Oftentimes, it's just a matter of getting that initial feeling right.
Once you get through the door, the subsequent development becomes easier.
And Aomi, leveraging his mastery of Dust Release or rather, the amalgamated skills of Ninja World's strongest, forcefully led Naruto through the door.
After several attempts, Naruto went from being able to maintain Dust Release for a few seconds in his hands to sustaining the gray-white barrier for a considerable duration...
"Hey, it seems pretty simple, Aomi bro!"
Naruto chuckled: "Turns out Aomi bro didn't lie to me, this Jutsu is indeed not much harder than the Shadow Clone, a genius like me can learn it just like that!"
The Nine-tails, hearing Naruto's words, just felt its blood pressure going through the roof, more infuriating than being grabbed by the Senju Buddha in the past...
Imprisoned within hosts for decades.
The Nine-tails sought every opportunity to research and gather intel on Ninjutsu, but without foundational knowledge, it couldn't develop even a single Jutsu...
In contrast, for Naruto.
This silly kid had a rough early childhood; shunned and scorned in the village, even having his training hindered by the Nine-tails' Chakra interference...
But!
But compared to having Aomi, who seemingly fell from the sky to become his teacher, those past misfortunes were nothing...
The opportunities, Ninjutsu the Nine-tails couldn't even dream of, were effortlessly obtained by Naruto, as if fortune had smiled upon him, such unthinkable encounters just happened to him!
Indeed...
Fortune does favor the bold!
"Hey kid, you don't seriously think you have great talent, do you? Do you even know what Jutsu you're wielding?" The Nine-tails, looking at Naruto becoming more proficient with Dust Release, couldn't hold back:
"You just have sheer luck!"
Naruto chuckled, the Chakra in his hand slowly dispersing the Dust Release, freeing his hand to make a big funny face at the Nine-tails.
"Fox, I do know Aomi bro is amazing! No need for you to say it?"
Naruto muttered under his breath: "I'll repay Aomi bro one day!"
The Nine-tails paused, pretending to look disdainful as it turned away, thinking to itself: "This brat is smarter than I thought... and indeed has some talent, an incredible child..."
In such a short time.
Even with Aomi's help, Naruto progressed astonishingly, already able to stabilize the Dust Release barrier on his own, even controlling its dispersal.
This is truly an entry point...
In Aomi's view, Naruto's training talent is considered top-notch.
Not to mention the Nine-tails and Asura Chakra, Naruto incorporated Nature Transformation, which Namikaze Minato could never complete, into the Rasengan, evolving it into the highly powerful "S-Class Ninjutsu: Wind Release: Rasen Shuriken"!
During the development of Wind Release: Rasen Shuriken.
Naruto only asked Kakashi some basic knowledge about Nature Transformation and sought a few tips on Wind Release Nature Transformation from Asuma, without much further guidance, just filling in some gaps in his common knowledge.
It relied more on his own talent...
