Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning.
Without Chakra of a corresponding nature, one could not practice it.
"Let's disband for now!"
Minato Namikaze waved his hand, his tone somewhat subdued.
He had suffered a serious psychological blow.
No matter how he looked at it, Hankuang was beyond saving.
"To be precise, Hankuang is the victim."
Watching the backs of the team members as they left, Minato Namikaze sighed helplessly.
Someone like him should have been a civilian, but because of the village's wartime system, he had been forcibly assigned to the ranks of the shinobi.
Was it because Hankuang hadn't worked hard enough?
No.
It was because he simply lacked the talent to become a shinobi.
Team 9 left the Training Ground.
The four of them walked side by side in silence.
Finally, Obito was the first to lose patience.
He felt that he should comfort his good friend.
"Hankuang, I believe you can do it." Obito's face was full of encouragement, and none of his usual joking remained.
"Are you encouraging me?" Hankuang turned his head and asked casually.
"Of course!"
"Mm."
Hankuang nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Do your best!" Rin encouraged him before reaching home as well.
"I suggest you focus exclusively on taijutsu!"
Kakashi added his own comment before leaving directly.
As one teammate after another left, Hankuang also returned home.
This time, he did not lie flat. Instead, he dug a test card covered in dust out of the house.
Sitting in a chair in the courtyard, he stared at the entrance test card, lost in thought.
"No Chakra nature?"
"No! I have natures."
He clearly remembered that when he had tested his Chakra nature upon entering the academy two years ago, the result had been three natures.
Fire, Earth, and Wind.
Furthermore, they had been recorded on this entrance test card.
"Two years ago, I had three natures, but now I've become natureless."
"Did they degenerate?"
After thinking it over, Hankuang felt that this was highly possible.
After all, he had not refined Chakra in a very long time.
"A shinobi's Chakra natures aren't unchanging. They should change with the deeper development of a certain nature, and it's even possible for other natures to appear."
This viewpoint was not a random guess by Hankuang.
He had solid grounds for it.
The most direct examples were Chunin and jonin.
A Chunin might possess two Chakra natures, but after advancing to jonin, they might develop a third nature.
This was very common among shinobi.
Reasoning backward from that—
"If Chakra isn't refined for a long time, then my Chakra natures, which were barely developed to begin with, will degenerate."
Propping his chin up, Hankuang pondered silently.
It was just like developing farmland.
New crops might appear after farmland was developed, but if it was left unmanaged for too long, the farmland would become barren.
After figuring this out, Hankuang ran back into the house and took out paper and a pen.
As he thought, he casually recorded several precautions on the paper.
These were nothing other than the weaknesses of taijutsu shinobi on the battlefield.
That was right.
Hankuang temporarily classified himself as a taijutsu shinobi.
That meant he had to consider some of the precautions relevant to taijutsu shinobi.
Minato Namikaze's residence.
After returning from the Training Ground, Minato Namikaze locked himself in the house.
He first looked through his collection of Ninjutsu scrolls one by one, then sat in a chair and fell into deep thought.
When Kushina knocked and entered, she was surprised to discover that Minato was unusually without a smile.
There was only one possibility.
Minato had encountered a difficult problem.
"Have you run into a difficult problem?" Kushina sat across from him and asked with concern.
"Yes." Minato Namikaze gave a bitter smile.
"You can tell me about it, though I might not necessarily be able to help."
"Are there any natureless Ninjutsu in the Ninja World?" Minato Namikaze asked the question that had been troubling him.
"Natureless Ninjutsu?" Kushina murmured to herself.
Then she said, "Of course there are!"
"Hm? What Ninjutsu?" Minato Namikaze asked hurriedly.
"Tailed Beast Bomb!" Kushina replied with a smile.
At that moment.
Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up.
He had found it.
He had finally found it.
He could completely imitate the Tailed Beast Bomb and develop a natureless Ninjutsu.
Wouldn't that allow Hankuang to learn Ninjutsu?
As expected, he was a qualified teacher!
Peerless Strategist Young Master—Hankuang!
A new day began with getting up early.
After stretching, Hankuang rolled out of bed.
He opened the Attribute Panel, and his eyes lit up.
Physique: (*) Chunin-level
"My physique has already reached Chunin-level?" Hankuang's face filled with delight.
He clenched both fists.
Yes, this was what it felt like to grow stronger.
In an excellent mood, he was unusually not late today.
Training Ground No. 4.
When Hankuang arrived at the Training Ground right on time, he was met by three surprised gazes.
