Under the suspicious eyes of Jiraiya, Naruto, in order to prove that he did not puncture the water balloon by trick, but relied on real chakra control, he picked up a new water balloon again, concentrated on controlling the chakra to flow and rotate accurately in the palm of his hand.
"Bang!"
The water balloon burst in response, water splashed everywhere, and everything fell cleanly.
Seeing Jiraiya's expression quickly change from initial suspicion to unconcealable shock, Naruto's face couldn't help but look a little weird.
Although Naruto does not know the standard Rasengan, Naruto has long mastered its advanced version - Spiraling Ring, or even Great Spiraling Ring.
To a certain extent, Rasengan can be regarded as a simplified version or basic form of Spiraling Ring, without the need for extreme chakra compression or the need to mix in the chakra of Kurama.
For Naruto, this is as simple as trying to solve a linear square of one variable after mastering advanced calculus. It feels like a dimensionality reduction attack.
Jiraiya seemed to be forcibly suppressing the surging emotions in his heart. He took a deep breath, then used Body Flicker Technique, and disappeared in place with a "swish" sound. Not a moment later, he appeared again with a "swish" sound, holding a few tough rubber balls he had just bought.
"Huh... huh... you kid, you are really awesome. You actually completed the first stage so quickly."
Jiraiya tried hard to sound calm as usual, but the slightly rising tail tone still revealed his uneasiness, "Then, let's try this next! This rubber ball is a hundred times tougher than a water ball!"
As he spoke, he personally picked up a rubber ball, with chakra surging in his palm, and burst it in a demonstration.
"Bang!"
The sound of a rubber ball breaking is duller than a water ball.
However, when Jiraiya handed a new rubber ball to [Naruto], almost the moment the rubber ball touched [his palm—
"Bang!"
There was another crisp cracking sound! The tough rubber ball couldn't even hold on for more than three seconds in Naruto's hands. It was instantly burst and disintegrated under the impact of a powerful chakra rotation!
Although it is indeed "unreasonable" to learn the basic version of Yantou after mastering advanced ninjutsu... but in order for Jiraiya to truly value himself and recognize his potential, Naruto feels it is necessary to properly demonstrate this "talent".
"Then... Rasengan, the complete form, should be like this."
Before the stunned Jiraiya could speak again, Naruto quietly raised his right hand. As he thought, a massive amount of chakra quickly gathered in his palm and started spinning!
Almost instantly, a blue chakra sphere that emitted a low hum took shape and spun rapidly in his palm!
Jiraiya watched helplessly as Naruto casually pressed this freshly baked Rasengan onto the trunk of another big tree next to it——
"Boom!"
Another regular circular gap was instantly cut out! Amidst the flying wood chips, the big tree groaned in pain and slowly fell.
You know, Jiraiya's original psychological expectation was to spend at least a month teaching Naruto to master this A-level ninjutsu.
He planned to consider accepting him as his disciple if Naruto could learn Rasengan within a month.
The result? How long did it take for this kid to listen to the explanation and perform it perfectly? A meal Ramen's husband?! This can't be described as a genius... Jian Yi seems to be... no, this terrifying learning speed and control ability even surpass his mother!
Could it be that... the child in front of me is really the person predicted?! Jiraiya suppressed the ecstasy and excitement that almost burst out from his heart, and tried hard to maintain his composure as a senior. He strode in front of Naruto and patted him hard on the shoulder.
"You kid... are much more powerful than I thought!" Jiraiya said with unconcealable exclamation in his tone, "You know, it took even Fourth Hokage a full three years to master this A-level Muji Ninjutsu 'Rasengan'!"
When he said this, he had a few tentative thoughts, wanting to see how proud or excited Naruto would be when he learned that his talent even surpassed that of the legendary Hokage.
However, Naruto's reaction was completely beyond his expectation. Naruto knows very well that the so-called "three years to learn Rasengan" is completely a misunderstanding of his relative Minato Namikaze.
First of all, Fourth Hokage is not "learning", but "developing" this technique from scratch. These are two completely different concepts. Secondly, Minato was in a war-torn era at that time. In such a tense environment, the difficulty of independently conceiving and successfully creating such exquisite ninjutsu was completely different from simply learning along the path paved by predecessors.
"Really? Master Fourth Hokage, he actually..."
Naruto had a suitably surprised look on his face, but then he changed the subject, "But, Jiraiya first, this is actually completely different."
"Because Mr. Fourth Hokage "learned it on his own", there is no road ahead. As for me, I stand on the road paved by you and him and run forward. Of course it will be much faster. This does not mean that I am more powerful than him."
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, and then an indescribable warmth surged in his heart. He said such humble and transparent words, but it actually sounded like he was being cool.
He looked at Naruto with eyes filled with relief and admiration. This child was not only gifted, but also had a rare temperament.
"Hahahaha!" Jiraiya suddenly laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and ruffled Naruto's blond hair, "What! You dare to preach to your uncle Jiraiya! But don't get carried away just because of this achievement, Naruto!"
As he spoke, he ignored Naruto's helpless expression as he continued his "head massage" and announced at the same time. "Okay! Now that you have successfully mastered Rasengan, today's practice ends here! Of course - I will teach you another super-difficult ninjutsu one day! Be mentally prepared for me!"
Just as Jiraiya was excitedly planning his future teaching plan, a crisp prompt sound that only Naruto could perceive sounded.
