Chapter 423: Building a House? The Birth of Rasengan!
After the war, the entire Ninja World seemed to quiet down, but Fujiwara Tetsuya knew that was only on the surface.
Hidden Rain Village, almost half-crippled, was silently licking its wounds.
Iwagakure and Hidden Sand Village, beneath their calm surface, seemed to be brewing some kind of storm.
Hidden Cloud Village, having plundered too many resources and valuables from the eastern coast of the Land of Earth, also saw its high-ranking officials begin to strengthen military preparations.
As for Konoha!
After several years of major wars, if possible, it would enter a period of recuperation for a considerable time in the future. Under this governing philosophy, the Ninja Academy's three-year system was restored to six years. At the same time, to prevent those brats from experiencing slaughter too early, the Ninja Academy further strengthened the standards and age limits for Genin assessments.
A large number of Jonin and Chunin, after resting, set out on missions again, bringing with them the Genin who had been tempered by war.
Among them, the most eye-catching team was the elite squad led by White Fang Hatake Sakumo. In less than a month, they successively completed several S-rank missions. Their terrifying combat power and mission completion rate made the name 'White Fang' even more resounding.
As for Orochimaru, Fujiwara Tetsuya only knew that Orochimaru had entered Root. After that, he completely lost all contact with Orochimaru. Even during this period, Danzo had also become quiet.
He probably thought they were conspiring something, or conducting some inhumane research.
As for Jiraiya, apart from occasionally going out on a mission, he spent most of his remaining time either in the bathhouse rooftop or at the Senju Clan's compound. Although he dedicated a lot of time, Fujiwara Tetsuya still believed that for a reserved man like Jiraiya, if he couldn't express his inner thoughts earnestly and forcefully seize the opportunity to establish a substantial relationship first, then his relationship with Tsunade would still follow the same fate as in the original plot, always on parallel tracks, never to intersect.
"Thump, thump, thump~~~"
Not far away, the dull thud of wooden stakes pulled Fujiwara Tetsuya's thoughts back from his contemplation.
Looking at the numerous figures in front and the several small buildings beginning to take shape, Fujiwara Tetsuya's lips curved into a smile.
To some extent, the land granted by the Village indirectly solved the living problems of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans.
As he, Uzumaki Meika, Uzumaki Kyoji, and the group of brats grew older, always living with elders in the same building inevitably became too crowded and awkward.
For those precocious brats, they should be given enough privacy when conditions allow.
Also, given his current frequent interactions with Mikoto and Ryoui, he really needed a sufficiently large and secluded residence. He couldn't always fly around looking for places. "Brother Tetsuya, so you're here! We thought you went out again with Sister Mikoto or Sister Ryoui?"
Accompanied by laughter, Uzumaki Meika, Uzumaki Kyoji, Tanaka Rina, and a few other brats who weren't out on missions, emerged from the shade of a nearby tree.
"Aiko... Nanamiya, you brats... when did you get so bold as to joke with me?"
"Especially Mako and Nobunaga, among the eight of you, only you two haven't been promoted to Chunin. Why aren't you hurrying to do missions to get promoted to Chunin sooner?"
"You should know that in peacetime, the promotion standards are much stricter than during wartime. If you miss this window, even if you have Chunin-level strength, you might have to wait a year or two to be promoted to Chunin."
"Brother Tetsuya, you've told us this many times. We know."
"Today, our sensei had a temporary engagement and no time for missions, so we just followed along."
Facing Fujiwara Tetsuya's feigned stern gaze, Uesugi Mako and Fujiwara Nobunaga instinctively stuck out their tongues.
Among the current Fujiwara, Tanaka, Uesugi Three Clans, Fujiwara Tetsuya, of course, was an Kage-level expert, a powerful overlord even in the entire Ninja World.
Uzumaki Kyoji had been promoted to Jonin early during the war.
Tanaka Rina was also promoted to Special Jonin during the fighting.
Among the remaining new generation, excluding Tanaka Gintoki, who was still in school, and Uzumaki Meika, who had never left Konoha Village and never displayed her true combat strength in front of everyone, only Uesugi Mako and Fujiwara Nobunaga remained Genin among the other eight.
The overwhelming pressure was imaginable.
"Hmm, it's good that you understand. I don't expect you to compare to brats like Kakashi, but at least... don't fall too far behind your peers."
"Sister Meihua, please speak up for us..."
"Brother Tetsuya's words are really hurtful."
As Uesugi Mako and Fujiwara Nobunaga swayed from side to side, Uzumaki Meika, Fujiwara Tetsuya, and Uzumaki Kyoji couldn't help but burst into laughter. Konoha, Training Ground 37.
While Fujiwara Tetsuya was comforting the brats and heading to the outer forest for training.
Training Ground 37 was also conducting a test.
"Minato, you can start."
At Jiraiya's urging, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kushina, and the Anbu guarding the perimeter all immediately focused their gaze on Minato Namikaze's right hand.
"Hmph~"
"Alright, Sensei Jiraiya!"
The moment Minato Namikaze's voice fell, a surge of Chakra gathered in his right hand, forming a high-density, rapidly spinning ball of Chakra in just a few seconds.
"Rasengan!"
Boom~~~
The moment the Rasengan collided with the giant test rock brought by the Anbu, an invisible shockwave continuously spread outwards. The seemingly sturdy test rock, strong enough to withstand damage from ordinary B-rank Ninjutsu, instantly shattered into pieces under the Rasengan's impact, ultimately turning into ruins.
"It really is a Ninjutsu without hand seals?"
Looking at the shattered rock at Minato Namikaze's feet, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes immediately became fervent.
The reason he agreed to Jiraiya taking Minato as a disciple, besides Minato Namikaze's excellent will of fire, was more importantly that he saw infinite possibilities in Minato Namikaze.
After several years of development, this tender sapling in front of him had finally ignited its own Hikari.
"That's right, Hokage-sama, the Rasengan is indeed a Ninjutsu without hand seals. I got the inspiration from the Tailed Beast Ball that formed when Kushina was in her berserk state."
"Minato, I wasn't wrong. You truly are a genius, a genius Ninja no weaker than that brat Tetsuya."
"The non-elemental, hand-seal-less Rasengan, like the Chidori created by that brat Tetsuya, also holds infinite possibilities. Do not squander this power."
Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi mention Fujiwara Tetsuya, Jiraiya's expression paused. After a brief comparison, he couldn't help but shake his head.
However, contrary to Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze and Kushina, upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's evaluation, their eyes burst with an undeniable light. Clearly, deep in their hearts, they had long considered Fujiwara Tetsuya a goal to pursue.
"Hokage-sama, I will definitely work even harder... I will not let down your and Sensei's expectations and become a powerful Ninja like Tetsuya."
"Hmm, I believe that day will come!"
"Then, Jiraiya, what is the request you mentioned?"
"Sensei, if possible, I want Minato to practice the Flying Thunder God Technique..."
