Chakra Nature

Chapter 29: Chakra Nature [Requesting Recommendation Tickets]

Minato Namikaze was also a genius who graduated early from the Ninja Academy.

However, because his early graduation was at an awkward time, during the most intense period of war between Konoha and other ninja villages, many Jonin from Konoha were dispatched to the battlefield.

Furthermore, since he graduated early, he wasn't assigned to a team, so most of the time he was temporarily assigned to other squads to carry out missions.

Minato Namikaze didn't complain about this.

He originally applied for early graduation hoping to get onto the battlefield, but Konoha wasn't so weak at the time that they needed newly graduated Genin to participate in the war, so Minato Namikaze's application was rejected.

He belonged to that small group of talented individuals, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, placed considerable importance on him and had been watching his growth.

So, up to this point, Minato Namikaze had been alone, training alone, and growing alone.

But he didn't complain, facing everything with a smile every day, like a little sun warming everyone he came into contact with.

At first, Toneri and Minato Namikaze just trained by themselves, without interfering with each other.

Looking at the difficulty of Minato Namikaze's training, Toneri could only secretly admire him.

As expected of the future Golden Flash, even though he hadn't learned the Flying Thunder God Technique yet, his mastery of the Body Flicker Technique was already very high.

Moreover, judging solely by Taijutsu, Minato Namikaze's Taijutsu should be significantly stronger than Nara Shikaku's.

However, Toneri didn't show too much eagerness to interact with Minato, as it would seem too deliberate. He just kept training, training, and training. His current level of effort could be compared to Rock Lee's later on.

Gradually, Minato Namikaze became a little curious about Toneri, who was endlessly training Taijutsu.

He had seen people who trained desperately, but never someone who trained this desperately. Was he not afraid of ruining himself by training like this?

Out of good intentions, Minato Namikaze decided to remind him.

"Toneri, you doing this... your body won't be able to handle it..."

As soon as Minato Namikaze spoke, he saw Toneri, who had been doing push-ups on the ground, invert his body, then release one hand, and then start doing a new type of push-up with only his five fingers touching the ground.

Minato Namikaze: "..."

Alright, he felt like he had said something superfluous.

Toneri had been looking for a way to start a conversation. After all, Minato Namikaze wasn't a fool. He couldn't just ask for help right away; Minato didn't owe him anything.

Even a tool needed to be developed a little.

"Hoo--Thanks for the reminder, Minato! Is it okay if I call you that?" Toneri exerted force with his fingers, did a somersault, and stood in front of him.

"It's fine, everyone else calls me that too. It's just... Toneri, you're still a child and growing. This kind of high-intensity physical training will have a considerable impact on your physical development..." Minato Namikaze waved his hand and brought up the issue he was concerned about.

People in the world of Naruto were tough, but not this tough.

Everyone knew that the body was important, but no one overtrained, precisely because they were afraid their bodies couldn't handle it.

Toneri scratched the back of his head, realizing his hair wasn't as flowing as Minato Namikaze's.

"There's nothing I can do. Right now, the only thing I can think of is Taijutsu. I haven't learned Ninjutsu, and I don't know how to control Chakra. This most primitive method is the fastest method I can think of right now."

He also knew that excessive training was very detrimental to a child's physical development.

But was he an ordinary child?

As the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, his body's tolerance was not something he needed to worry about.

This was also why he could push himself so hard.

Minato Namikaze was stunned by his words, "You... aren't you a student at the Ninja Academy? Teachers should teach these things."

"Uh..."

Afterward, Toneri "simply" recounted his "tragic experience" to Minato Namikaze.

Of course, he didn't mention anything about the Two-Tails, otherwise, those Anbu Ninjas would probably jump out immediately.

After listening to Toneri's story, Minato's gaze towards him held a trace of sympathy, and a vague sense of shared hardship.

Minato Namikaze was also an orphan who graduated from the Ninja Academy and became a ninja through his own efforts, with the dream of becoming Konoha's Hokage.

Although many people had mocked him for his dream, he had, through his own efforts, silenced all those who had mocked him. This was because they realized that while Minato Namikaze's dream of becoming Hokage was still somewhat unrealistic, it wasn't entirely impossible.

Therefore, he couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards Toneri, who was also an orphan and exceptionally hardworking.

Hardworking people, no matter where they are, will always gain some recognition from others.

"So you haven't even been to the Ninja Academy yet, and you already have this level of Taijutsu... It's truly astonishing!

But... don't doubt your own efforts. Even if there's no reward now, it will definitely manifest in the future through accumulated effort. Besides, your current Taijutsu is already stronger than many students at the Ninja Academy! Keep it up, Toneri!"

Patting Toneri on the shoulder, Minato smiled, his eyes crinkling, revealing his pearly white teeth.

Toneri looked at Minato Namikaze, momentarily stunned.

For some reason, in that brief moment, he felt as if he saw the smile of the goddess of dawn!

It was soul-refreshing!

Instantly, more than half of his fatigue disappeared. What a great tool!

He even came with a recovery and encouragement aura!

Tool Person Number Two, 30% Complete!

"Mhm! Keep going, work hard, and it will always pay off.

Um... Minato, you know I might be going to the Ninja Academy in a while. Before that, could you tell me about Chakra?

And it would be even better if you could teach me some things!" Toneri's eyes sparkled.

Toneri knew that most of what Shikaku Nara and Shikashin Nara learned were secret techniques of the Nara Clan, passed down only within the clan.

Even having high family status was useless.

Although they knew other Ninjutsu, why would that compare to Minato Namikaze?

"No problem." Minato agreed immediately.

Everything he had learned could also be taught at the Ninja Academy; he was just telling Toneri in advance.

"So Toneri, what's your Chakra nature? Have you tested it?"

Hearing this, Toneri suddenly remembered that he hadn't even tested his Chakra nature.

However, the testing method was relatively simple. There was special Chakra paper. After inputting one's Chakra, the paper would change based on its nature.

He slowly shook his head.

Although Chakra paper was simple to use, it wasn't cheap, especially for him who was penniless.

"Coincidentally, I have one piece of Chakra paper left. It's useless after being tested once anyway, so you can try it.

It's very simple to use; just input your Chakra."

Minato Namikaze took out a piece of Chakra paper, about two fingers' length, from his ninja pouch.

Toneri didn't refuse. He took the Chakra paper, held it between his index and middle fingers, and concentrated on channeling his Chakra into it.

However...

Minato and Toneri stared at the Chakra paper for a long time, but nothing happened.

"This... no nature?" Minato had never seen this before.

Toneri's face turned red. "No, I haven't channeled the Chakra in yet."

Minato: "..."

His Chakra control was truly something else.

But it wasn't entirely Minato's fault for being speechless. In his opinion, Toneri's Taijutsu was already so strong; even if his Chakra wasn't abundant, his control shouldn't be weak, and testing his nature should be a piece of cake.

Who knew that after attempting the Transformation Technique on the first day, Toneri hadn't used his slightly vast Chakra for anything other than refining it?

It would be a miracle if he could control it well now.

Fortunately, with Toneri's "persistent efforts," the Chakra paper finally showed a change.

The Chakra paper split into three. The first third that changed burned up, the next third crumbled into fragments, and the last third became soaked as if immersed in water.

Don't ask, everyone who's good-looking will give me recommendation votes!
