Chapter 25 - 25 (1/2)

Minato was really glad that he managed to throw the Rasenshuriken that far.

”Minato Nii-san, did you just throw that Jutsu?”

Ryo remembered that Naruto had to coat the Rasenshuriken with Senjutsu Chakra in the Manga to be able to throw it. But Minato was able to do it directly!

”Yeah, actually, I had developed this technique last week, but I couldn't throw it. If I have to be in direct contact with it as it hits its target, I would certainly hurt myself. I had to inject additional Chakra within it to be able to throw it, as it needed that to maintain its shape.”

Ryo was blown away by Minato's explanation. Naruto wasn't able to throw the Rasenshuriken without Senjutsu Chakra coating it, as it needed that to maintain its shape. Minato actually didn't have Senjutsu and found himself another way.

”Ryo, how come this technique's effect seems a bit like the Sand's poison?” Minato, not having the Sharingan, couldn't see what was happening inside the Rasenshuriken.

”Minato Nii-san, the Wind Chakra blades inside the Rasenshuriken are extremely small. When the attack hits, the blades scatter through the tissues attacking the body at a cellular level. Many poisons share the same mode of action!”

Minato nodded. With Ryo's explanation, he understood better the principle of this technique.

”Hold on Ryo! What did you just call the new Rasengan? Well, it does look like a Shuriken.”

Ryo couldn't explain how he named it, so to change the topic he asked: ”Nii-san who named the 1st Rasengan?”

”It was my teacher Jiraya! The name of the [Rasengan] used to be [Rasen Swirl Flash Gan], but my teacher forced me to change it.”

Ryo knocked out by that original name. ”Nii-san, let's go back to the third training ground.”

Both thought of telling Kushina about the name, so Minato used Flying Thunder God to get both of them back to the training ground.

When they told Kakashi and Kushina about the success of the new technique, the two were really happy for Minato.

Then Ryo talked to Kushina about the names for the new technique. After listening to him, she gave him a sour look. She answered with her preferred name, hitting the nail on the head: ”Futon: Rasenshuriken”!

In order to celebrate the completion of the new technique, Minato took all three out with him for barbecue.

In the Hokage's office, the 3rd looked at the hole in the Forest of Death and was nervous.

The Anbu have already confirmed that no one has infiltrated Konoha. The guards at the entrance to the Forest of Death also said that no one had entered or died in the forest.

Reports coming in to the office were getting increasingly tense, as nobody has ever experienced such a huge explosion. It was as if a Biju was released into the forest.

The 3rd just smoked his pipe and couldn't do anything about it.

In the 3rd training ground, a week later, Kakashi finally learned Rasengan. And Minato got back to developing the Flying Thunder God, while Ryo started learning Fuinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) from Kushina.

Finally she felt the thrill of being a teacher!

The Uzumaki's Fuinjutsu was extensive and profound. Ryo was listening to her explain the art's history within her clan.

”Hey Kushina, could you take a break? I wanna talk to Ryo.”
