Yūshin possessed simple, direct, and efficient assassination abilities, but this didn't mean he would abandon developing more diverse attack methods.
After all, for a shinobi, the more techniques available, the more unpredictable in battle, making it easier to defeat enemies and achieve victory.
That's why Yūshin worked hard learning Water Release ninjutsu. With such a good opportunity before him, he naturally wanted to learn as much as possible from this young version of a Water Release master.
Unfortunately, this master treasured his techniques—one life only exchanged for two B-rank ninjutsu and one C-rank ninjutsu.
But no matter, no need to rush. Prying secrets from others ultimately required personal effort.
After obtaining three Water Release techniques and understanding hand seal methods and chakra circulation principles, Yūshin immediately went to a location far from camp to begin independent practice.
He quickly learned the C-rank Water Surge, but the two B-rank Water Release techniques had obvious learning difficulty. Yūshin'sWater Dragon Bullet looked like nothing more than an oversized water gun.
After practicing all day without grasping the essentials, he immediately sought guidance from the recuperating Water Release master.
Honestly speaking, Tobirama Senju providing three Water Release techniques was already quite generous—he had absolutely no obligation to teach Yūshin to mastery.
If Yūshin couldn't learn these techniques, that was definitely his own problem, unrelated to Tobirama Senju.
Limited by personal conditions and comprehension, quite many ordinary shinobi simply couldn't learn B-rank and above advanced techniques. If Yūshin proved unteachable, surely it couldn't be blamed on Tobirama Senju.
But what could be done when Yūshin kept hovering around Tobirama Senju seeking guidance?
Tobirama Senju could only suppress discomfort and point out key aspects:
"For advanced Water Release ninjutsu like these, achieving their power requires preliminary Water Release chakra transformation. After converting sufficient water-attribute chakra, before release, pre-compression is preferably needed..."
"You need that feeling where chakra isn't being released, but ejected or erupted."
"Every step must coordinate with your hand seal rhythm, properly guiding chakra flow direction."
"Simply put, start practicing from water-attribute chakra output volume and speed aspects. Proficiency in this area can only increase through time consumption..."
A master was indeed a master—under his guidance, Yūshin quickly grasped the essentials.
He wasn't a genius, unlikely to learn such advanced techniques in just one or two days. In fact, he didn't need such urgency. Anyway, after mastering techniques and secrets, with some practice time, Yūshin believed he could definitely master these high-level Water Release ninjutsu.
However, before Tobirama Senju departed, he probably wouldn't witness Yūshin's training results.
Three days later, Tobirama Senju barely recovered mobility, meaning he should leave this place... Normally it should be so—he had no attachment here.
Plus, staying away from family too long would inevitably cause worry. Tobirama Senju couldn't waste more time outside.
Tobirama Senju subjectively thought this way, however Yūshin would objectively create conditions for continued stay.
Yūshin knew Tobirama Senju was about to leave, so after seeking him out again, he didn't discuss Water Release issues but began discussing certain new ninjutsu development situations.
This was an excellent entry point.
What entry point, you ask?
If you want to fish, you must first bait the area, right? Tobirama Senju's "life-saving grace" was already repaid. If Yūshin wanted to extract more from him, this time he'd have to offer something valuable.
And if asking what Yūshin's most valuable, most presentable ninjutsu was, that would naturally be something generously borrowed from others.
"Tobirama, I've witnessed your Body Flicker Technique—you could say you have instant-kill capability, yet during body flicker you can only attack using taijutsu and ordinary ninja tools. Have you encountered insufficient attack power situations? You know, body flicker attacks and cumbersome hand seal casting are mutually contradictory..."
Seemed like academic discussion? This conversation content was more acceptable to Tobirama Senju than Water Release instruction, so he temporarily suppressed farewell words, saying: "Indeed so. Sometimes I encounter situations where I cannot break enemy defenses—no matter how fast body flicker is, it's meaningless."
Yūshin nodded, face showing an "as expected" expression: "Then have you considered using instant, seal-less ninjutsu to complement Body Flicker Technique?"
"Seal-less ninjutsu? I've had conceptions and experiments, but achieved no practical results. After all, through seals and techniques, transforming abstract energy into concrete form unleashes chakra's true power. Seal-less ninjutsu runs contrary to this traditional understanding."
"Form... Yes, form is indeed needed." Yūshin acknowledged this view but immediately supplemented, "However, form doesn't necessarily require hand seals to achieve. In fact, chakra's ultimate physical shape transformation can bring unimaginable destructive power."
Speaking thus, Yūshin raised his left hand, immediately producing a rotating chakra sphere in his palm. However, this chakra sphere's energy density and rotation speed were severely insufficient, making this technique appear powerless.
That's right—Yūshin spoke of the Rasengan.
Upon arriving in this world and confirming his location in the shinobi world, Yūshin immediately began developing this high-power, high-difficulty ninjutsu—meaning he'd already spent a year on the Rasengan.
Rasengan was among the few techniques in the original work whose training process was described from beginning to end. Yūshin focusing on this wasn't strange.
But this technique's practice difficulty was extremely exaggerated, so he hadn't achieved substantial progress.
This didn't mean his comprehension and learning ability were very poor—the reason lay only in his insufficient talent... His chakra quality and energy density simply didn't reach the Rasengan learning threshold, equivalent to a skilled cook lacking ingredients.
"Seems to lack practicality..."
Tobirama Senju stared at Yūshin's left hand briefly, then shook his head somewhat disappointedly. But clearly, he was very interested in this new ninjutsu's development.
As everyone knew, Tobirama Senju was the greatest, most imaginative, most unconventional inventor before Orochimaru. Exploring new ninjutsu development was definitely his excitement point.
"Realizing this technique's power requires three conditions: high-density chakra, ultimate energy compression, and ultra-high-speed rotation. Currently I can hardly achieve these three conditions simultaneously," Yūshin said.
Previously his chakra was substandard; now he could retry.
Naruto Uzumaki of the Konoha era, as history's most famous hand-rolled sphere master, made unimaginable contributions to Rasengan technique development.
Precisely because of Naruto's "clumsy method," Rasengan's super-A-rank learning difficulty decreased below B-rank, because when using Rasengan, he creatively added Shadow Clone Technique.
Needing hand seals when using seal-less ninjutsu—hard to say whether this was Rasengan's evolution or regression. Could only say Naruto's thinking was quite unique.
"This technique naturally pursues single-handed instant casting—only then is it most practical. However, during split learning processes, no need for such strictness. First develop the technique, then consider practical combat applications."
Speaking thus, Yūshin covered his right hand over his left, then the loosely-formed chakra gradually compressed toward both hands' center, finally gathering into a small sphere displaying pale blue color.
Seemed to truly have some Rasengan appearance? Unfortunately, only superficial—this chakra sphere was static.
"One hand maintains energy release, one hand maintains shape transformation. Unfortunately, I lack a third hand." Yūshin's tone was full of regret.
Tobirama Senju reacted quickly—he'd learned to anticipate answers: "Third hand? How about Clone Technique?"
"I come from a small shinobi clan lacking inheritance—I don't know Solid Clone Technique."
"I..."
Tobirama Senju almost blurted out "I know," but before speaking, he forcibly stopped this impulse.
Because he discovered he seemed to be manipulated again.
