Time to Make a Bigger Rasengan
"Teacher Kakashi..."
Seeing the enormous gap between himself and Sasuke, Naruto, after rallying his spirits, appeared particularly unwilling to accept defeat.
Hinata has been strong since childhood, and Naruto has long been accustomed to Hinata strength. But Sasuke used to be on par with Naruto, while now the gap between the two is like heaven and earth.
"And that Masked Man... we don't know what his scheme is behind taking Sasuke away."
Kakashi, reading "Icha Icha Paradise" by the Kakkō, replied without looking up, "Is that so? Then just make yourself stronger, right?"
Yamato said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, Sasuke's growth rate is extremely unusual. Even with forbidden techniques or drugs, it would be impossible for him to grow to this level in just a few years."
"Cough cough!"
Hinata coughed lightly, reminding Yamato and the other four that there was an even stronger being among them.
Naruto, Kakashi, Yamato all ignored Hinata's presence when discussing training. If Hinata had been there, it would have made everyone question their existence.
Many people in the village have asked Hinata for training methods, but Hinata only says that it's a talent, and that she's someone who can become stronger even while lying down.
Yamato continued, "There is some information about Orochimaru in the Anbu. Even if it was done on human subjects, Sasuke's improvement is still very abnormal."
"Moreover, based on current intelligence, apart from the ' Impure World Reincarnation, 'Orochimaru's strength is not much different from what it was three years ago."
"This means that Sasuke's increase in strength may very well have nothing to do with Orochimaru!"
Kakashi said while reading, "There's nothing we can do about it. In that case... Naruto, you'll just have to become stronger than Sasuke even faster."
Naruto asked curiously, "But what should I do?"
While Jiraiya laid a solid foundation for Naruto, he didn't improve Naruto's intelligence. Without guidance, Naruto had no idea how to become stronger.
Kakashi said calmly, "Actually, I've been thinking of a solution... and I've already figured it out."
"However, this method only works for Naruto. Hmm... perhaps Hinata could do it too."
"Through this training... Naruto, you might be able to surpass me on some level."
Hinata pursed her lips and forcefully interjected, "Is it for training using the Multiple Shadow Clone?"
"However, only experience and memories can be transmitted back to the original body when using Shadow Clones. Taijutsu training can only accelerate physical fatigue and has no effect whatsoever."
Upon hearing this, Naruto looked at Hinata curiously. "Shadow Clone? Hinata, have you used this method to train before?"
"No!"
Hinata shook her head and said, "I can learn any Ninjutsu in no time, so I don't need Shadow Clone at all... Forget it, you should listen to Teacher Kakashi!"
As a transmigrator, how could Hinata possibly ignore the Shadow Clone?
However, only experience, memories, and fatigue can be transmitted back to the original body through Shadow Clones, so using Shadow Clones to train Taijutsu has no effect.
Naruto looked at Kakashi and asked, "Teacher Kakashi, what exactly do I need to do?"
Kakashi, unusually, looked up from his book. "Master your own unique and strongest Ninjutsu! In other words, you must learn a new Ninjutsu that surpasses the Rasengan. But to gain power, you must dedicate the greatest amount of time and effort."
Hinata reminded her again, "Teacher Kakashi, it's the Palm Rotation!"
Hearing Hinata's words, Kakashi turned to Hinata with a smile and said, "Since it's the Palm Rotation, then I'll leave Naruto's training to you, Hinata!"
At this point, Kakashi also became serious.
"The seal on the Nine-Tails requires Naruto's Chakra to be effective. Once Naruto's Chakra is greatly depleted, the Nine-Tails may break free."
Seeing Hinata looking at Yamato, Kakashi quickly said, "Yamato is also an option, but compared to you who can talk to Nine-Tails, Yamato would be too troublesome."
Hinata: "..."
Konoha, Hokage Building.
"Thank you for your report, you've worked hard!" Tsunade said without looking up from behind her desk, processing documents.
"Then I'll take my leave!" With that, the Anbu from the secret service vanished in Body Flicker Technique.
Shizune glanced at Tsunade and said, "Akatsuki has launched another operation. It seems that it's only a matter of time before they are discovered around Konoha."
"This is indeed a major crisis, but it is also a good opportunity to eliminate them."
Tsunade said in a deep voice, "We need to hurry too."
Looking at the intelligence report in her hand, Tsunade frowned slightly. Even the Two-Tails of Kumogakure...
"If the order is from One-Tail to Nine-Tails, then the next one should be Three-Tails."
Tsunade analyzed, "According to the information we exchanged with Kirigakure, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura died along with the Three-Tails, causing the Three-Tails to disappear for a period of time."
"Since Akatsuki chose to act at this time, it seems that the Three-Tails has already been revived."
Shizune frowned and said, "For years, Five Great Shinobi Villages have been secretly searching for the Three-Tails' whereabouts. Even we don't know the Three-Tails' exact location, so how did Akatsuki find out?"
Tsunade said calmly, "Since they intend to use the power of the Tailed Beasts, perhaps they have a way to sense Tailed Beasts presence!"
"Let's put that aside for now! Shizune, immediately have the Anbu intensify their search efforts. We must find the Three-Tails before the Akatsuki act."
"Yes!"
After Shizune left, Tsunade temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Akatsuki has already begun its operations. Although it has displayed astonishing strength, apart from Orochimaru and its leader who possesses the Rinnegan, there is no one within the Akatsuki who is enough to arouse the fear of the major Shinobi Villages.
This is why other ninja villages didn't take much action against the Akatsuki.
Perhaps they are hoping that Hinata can perish together with the leader of Akatsuki, just like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha back then.
Being too outstanding is not necessarily a good thing. Being exceptionally capable can lead to isolation and arrogance, even if one is initially highly anticipated and admired.
—Uchiha Itachi Uchiha
The Shinobi World is facing this awkward situation today.
Konoha is very strong, Hinata is also very strong. As a result, Konoha will naturally be isolated by the other ninja villages.
In addition, Orochimaru had deliberately instigated conflict between the Five Great Shinobi Villages, so the ninjas from Kirigakure, Hidden Cloud Village, and Iwagakure villages were almost always ready to fight each other whenever they met.
If it weren't for the concerns of each village, the Fourth Shinobi World War would have started long ago.
The abduction of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure by the Akatsuki only fueled the Raikage's lust for the Impure World Reincarnation.
Perhaps the Raikage also believed that if the Kumogakure possessed the Impure World Reincarnation technique, it could withstand the Akatsuki.
"What to do?"
Tsunade frowned.
Konoha seems to be under complete control now, yet it also seems to be out of control, leaving Tsunade with a vague and uncertain feeling.
This feeling left Tsunade utterly powerless.
