A New Training Plan

Shuichi waited until the pain subsided before explaining, "This technique adds Wind Release chakra to the Rasengan. Because the Rasengan already has extreme Shape Transformation, combined with the most destructive Wind Release, it has such terrifying power."

Rotation and compression are already advanced techniques in chakra Shape Transformation; the higher the difficulty of Ninjutsu, the greater the risk.

Ordinary ninjas don't need to study these things at all, because both Ninjutsu and Kunai can kill enemies, so why risk creating such dangerous things?

"You're being too reckless. You're developing an S-rank Ninjutsu before your meridians have even fully developed." Tsunade finally understood the principle behind the Rasenshuriken.

"This technique must be classified as Forbidden Jutsu. Even if your meridians can withstand it in the future, the fatal flaw of only being able to attack enemies at close range is too great. The energy backlash at that moment will definitely injure the caster."

Shuichi casually remarked, "I developed it without much effort. You can learn the Rasengan with just a little practice, and then when I had some free time, I added Wind Release to it, and found it wasn't difficult to master."

"If the situation hadn't been so complicated, and if the Jinchuriki hadn't been located so deep inside, I wouldn't have forcibly created such a powerful force."

"I've considered everything you mentioned. This is currently just an unfinished Ninjutsu, but I've already thought of a solution for the future." Shuichi's expression remained unchanged, and his words were full of confidence.

"By adding some new energy to the Rasenshuriken, this technique can be transformed into a ranged attack, such as the Natural Energy of Sage Mode or the Tailed Beast Chakra."

"There's an even simpler and more direct method: the caster is incredibly powerful and can complete the task alone using Shadow Clone. I think that's more powerful than ranged attacks." His thinking differed from most people's.

Even if the Rasenshuriken can change direction, its trajectory is easily predictable by the enemy, making it far less agile than releasing it suddenly at close range.

Shuichi felt that he would be able to perform this operation in a few years. With his superb chakra control, he would have his Shadow Clone use the Flying Thunder God or Body Flicker Technique to get to the enemy's side, and then instantly condense Rasenshuriken to unleash.

This method is even better than the ranged attacks in Sage Mode. Not only is chakra consumption greatly reduced, but it also allows for the advantage of surprise attacks, making it difficult for the enemy to defend against.

Just like the Rasengan was originally a quick, instantaneous attack used for closing in, but in the hands of a certain overpowered blond guy in the original work, it became a frontal, aggressive Ninjutsu, and its usage was anything but "ninja".

"Ouch, what are you doing?" Another sharp pain shot through his hand, and he felt as if his bones were being forcibly pieced together like building blocks.

Tsunade clearly disapproved of Shuichi's forced show-off behavior and immediately stopped his arrogant performance, saying, "I didn't do anything, just helped you set your bones."

"..."

With the daytime battle already decided, the Konoha commanders issued new operational orders.

The village's goal is to get the Land of Wind to accept the peace treaty, so it's impossible for them to kill every Sunagakure they encounter.

The subsequent pursuit was roughly divided into two parts: prioritizing the elimination of the more dangerous Sunagakure Jonin, such as Puppeteer like Shashi.

The other, weaker ninjas were mainly persuaded to surrender. Kikyo Castle is now piled high with Sunagakure Village prisoners of war, and Konoha is sending a steady stream of people to deal with them after receiving news of the victory.

The territory occupied by Sunagakure in the Land of Rivers was not a concern for Konoha. Similar to the Valley Village and the various former forces within it, Konoha was constantly monitoring the battle between the two sides.

When they saw the Sunagakure defeated, these shameless guys immediately turned into mad dogs and chased after them, with the Konoha Ninja happy to follow behind.

After several days of fighting, they finally drove all the Sunagakure back to the Land of Wind...

The day after his injuries were treated, Shuichi returned to Konoha. Reports about the war had already been sent back to the village, but he still needed to discuss the details with the Third Hokage, especially regarding the killing of Shukaku.

"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken?"

In the Hokage's Office, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already learned of the power of this technique from the battle report. After reading the detailed explanation of its principles, he couldn't help but admire it, "I never imagined that the village's first S-Rank Wind Release would come from your hands. You really are..."

The Third Hokage struggled for a long time but couldn't come up with the right words to describe it. Calling him a monster seemed inappropriate, while calling him a genius didn't seem to match Shuichi's level of abnormality. He was at a loss for words.

"It was just luck, I was just fortunate," Shuichi said modestly. "Senior Minato originally wanted to add Wind Release to the Rasengan, and I just suddenly had an inspiration one day."

"But to be honest, this technique is too powerful, and it consumes a lot of chakra and has many side effects, so its practicality is temporarily limited."

He didn't intend to hide it; instead, he handed it over to the village directly. He even didn't conceal the subsequent improvements, such as adding Natural Energy or Tailed Beast Chakra to evolve it into a ranged attack. If Danzo could learn that, I'd admit defeat.

"How badly are you injured?" The Third Hokage asked quickly, noticing the bandage on Shuichi's right hand.

Upon Shuichi, Xiu immediately began to play the victim. "Anyway, it's quite serious. Tsunade- senpai said it's best to rest for a few months because I'm still growing and developing, and it wouldn't be good if I had any aftereffects."

Thanks to his great contribution in killing the Tailed Beast and turning the tide of the battle, coupled with his own injuries, he finally had the opportunity to relax in the village for quite some time, and of course, he would do whatever was most advantageous for him.

After hearing this, the Third Hokage also felt that this was indeed something to be careful about, after all, it concerned the future of a top genius. "Alright, you can rest for a while."

Shuichi immediately flashed a sly smile. "By the way, where are my spoils?"

"Since I've had nothing to do these past few months, I've already figured out my cultivation plan. That village with the One-Tail must have been reclaimed by now, right? I cut it off myself, so the ownership should be mine!"

"Oh, right, I'm also interested in Fuinjutsu. I can already use the Flying Thunder God Technique, but it's not good to always bother Minato. Now I can study it myself. What do you think..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

Under the Third Hokage's slightly annoyed gaze, Shuichi left the Hokage's Office with a satisfied expression. "Heh, I'll hand over the Rasenshuriken first, then ask for the things. Let's see how you refuse."

After witnessing Shuichi's performance on the battlefield in the Land of Rivers, both Orochimaru and the Third Hokage realized that he was ready to graduate.

He has mastered almost all the conventional ninjutsu of the Hokage lineage and was able to develop S-Rank Wind Release, which means that all his chakra-related indicators have reached a high level. How he improves in the future depends entirely on himself.

The Third Hokage was hailed as the "Professor of Ninjutsu," and Shuichi could be considered a "Ninjutsu Graduate Student," or at least one who had already graduated.

"Next is the second Kekkei Genkai, Magnet Release. I need to study it carefully before deciding whether to train it," Shuichi thought to himself.

The tail of Shukaku is still at the front line, but Konoha has sent people to guard it, and it will be sent back to the village in a few days.

The Third Hokage would certainly not refuse to give him this spoils of war that rightfully belonged to him. He didn't need too much for cultivation; just a small piece would suffice.
