Unsealed Ninjutsu × Minato's Shock

The logic is correct: being late on the battlefield could, in less than a minute, put your comrades in danger...

Referring to the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, if Minato hadn't been late and had blown up the Kannabi Bridge faster, he could have arrived in time to support Kakashi and Obito, and rescued Nohara Rin, who had been forcibly kidnapped by Oishi using the [Secret Technique: Camouflage Invisibility Technique].

If the mastermind behind Black Zetsu's collaboration with Uchiha had been severed, perhaps... Obito wouldn't have needed to turn to the dark side.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in life. To save his mother, Black Zetsu would have targeted other Uchiha, even if he hadn't targeted Obito, such as... Shisui and his own brother Itachi.

His thoughts drifted, Roy's gaze passed over Namikaze Minato, sweeping over Obito and Nohara Rin standing behind him.

The two girls, young and innocent as Sun-Earring Boy, looked at him with different expressions. The latter were curious, while the former's body tensed up noticeably, and she quietly took a step closer to Lin as if protecting her own offspring. It seemed like she was being wary, but it was more like she was declaring to Roy that she was his and he shouldn't even think about it!

Fortunately, Roy's gaze came and went quickly. After a quick glance, it landed on Kakashi, the genius ninja hailed as the fastest graduate from the Ninja Academy. Ninja, his face half-covered, was also scrutinizing him with a hint of inquiry. His memory drifted back to last night; he still couldn't forget the importance his father had placed on the Sun-Earring Boy before him...

"Okay." A mistake is a mistake, and punishment is warranted.

Roy spoke concisely and directly, neither dodging nor escaping, his hands in his pockets, Namikaze Minato.

The young man, his blond hair swaying, smiled, his eyes narrowing, as he looked poised to forge the infamous "Yellow Flash" name on the battlefield.

"Simple," Namikaze Minato held up one finger. "Weighted run... Kakashi, Obito, Rin, the three of you and King, each carrying a log, will run ten laps around the forest. The timer is one hour. Let's go!"

Kakashi and Rin were startled, instinctively glancing at Obito... One person's lateness, the whole team takes the blame... Given Obito's personality, he would definitely angrily question the teacher... "Why?"... but today, Obito was unusually strange. Besides Roy's casual glance at Rin, which made him vaguely wary, the usually outspoken Obito surprisingly didn't argue, but instead remained silent... and took the initiative to carry the log.

Kakashi and Rin exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes!

Obito ignored all of that. He didn't even complain about Roy. With the log on his shoulder, he was the first to rush into the depths of the forest, shouting, "Let's go! What are you all standing around for?"

Kakashi and Nohara Rin each took a log, followed by... Roy.

"Thump... thump..." This was followed by the departure of Obito, Kakashi, and Rin.

The Sun-Earring Boy didn't say a word, but stretched out one hand and sucked at a log stuck upside down in an empty corner.

[Magnetic Field Attraction]... Derived from the Nen Ability of the legendary magician Moritonio... [Iron-Dyeing Bipolarity]

First appearance in Konoha...

Suddenly, a suction force grazed past Namikaze Minato's shoulder. Namikaze Minato's brows furrowed as he watched the log spring up from the ground, tearing through the air and flying towards the Sun-Earring Boy. He thought to himself, "A ninjutsu without hand seals?"

Utterly astonished, and confirming he hadn't seen Roy form hand seals, his emotions surged, and he fell silent... The log landed on Roy's shoulder, which he lightly supported as he strode away... Namikaze Minato, regaining his senses after a moment, also kicked up a log, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and followed in a flash...

Students make mistakes, and teachers should also be punished... This is a principle that Jiraiya, the teacher, once told him, supposedly passed down from the Third Hokage... However, Sarutobi Hiruzen admitted that he had never taught Jiraiya any knowledge about [no-hand techniques]. In other words, as a renowned [Ninjutsu expert] from several major villages, he himself didn't even possess many [no-hand techniques]. Otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to use any during his duel with his disloyal disciple Orochimaru...

Inside the Hokage Building, the office symbolizing the highest power in Konoha, the old man watched through Crystal Ball as Roy, carrying a log, surged ahead, slowly catching up with Rin, then overtaking Obito, finally brushing past Kakashi's shoulder and leaping to the front, leaving afterimages in his wake. "Plop~" He picked up his pipe from the desk, took another puff, and pulled open a drawer, pulling out the scroll branded with Roy's name, "Uchiha Jin"...

Unfold the brush, lift it to the end, add one more stroke... [Revealing "Unsealed Ninjutsu," self-created unknown, unknown where it was learned, known... possesses Attraction function...]

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flickered. He paused, lost in thought for a moment, then added at the end...[Whether all ninjutsu can skip the [hand seal] stage... unknown...]

The old man finally put down his pen, watching Roy charge ahead as if strolling in a garden... Standing high and seeing far, he was far more enlightened than Namikaze Minato, who had been immersed in [ninjutsu] for over thirty years... for the rarity of [unsealed ninjutsu]!

It should be noted that [hand seals] originated from Indra, and were originally a type of [hand seal technique] he specifically created to help the members of the [Ninjutsu Sect] also perform ninjutsu...

Essentially, it involves using specific hand gestures to guide Chakra to flow along fixed paths within the body, or stimulating the heart meridian to unleash a rampage of Yang-attribute Chakra, releasing [Fire Release]... or guiding Chakra to gather in the kidneys, generating a liquid state, releasing [Water Release]... or forcing Chakra to vibrate at high frequencies at the ends of the meridians, releasing [Lightning Release], and so on... These are all indispensable processes!

However, while a tree dies when transplanted, a person thrives; the process is fixed, but geniuses often take unconventional paths...

There are always those who can break free from the framework of "two-handed hand seals" and achieve "one-handed hand seals." For example, the Uchiha Clan can forcibly memorize Sharingan and reproduce Chakra paths with a single hand... Kisame, with his massive Chakra reserves, violently broke through hand seal limitations... And Haku, through his Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, possesses a simplified hand seal characteristic...

In short, behind every [unmarked ninjutsu] lies the extraordinary talent of the user, and the terrifying level they have reached!

And now, right under his nose, there's another one...

Sarutobi Hiruzen squinted at the small Sun-Earring Boy inside the Crystal Ball. Compared to when he last met him at the Ninja Academy, the boy seemed to have grown taller and become even more mysterious in just a few days, making him somewhat unfathomable... For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen wondered if this was truly a child that Fugaku could have trained.

At least, what Jin has shown is something even Fugaku himself wouldn't have... except for the [Great Fireball] technique...

"Thump... thump..." Footsteps echoed through the vast Southern Forest, chasing the wind... Above the four dense forests of the east, west, south, and north, [Perception Barrier] protected Konoha, leaving no room for error... Roy ran ahead, Kakashi and Obito chased frantically behind, and finally, the exhausted Nohara Rin... The girl's brown hair fluttered in the wind, her deep brown eyes as bright as jewels, yet unable to conceal her fatigue...

Her original role in Team Minato wasn't that of a "combatant," but rather a support role, as evidenced by her expertise in [medical ninjutsu]...

"Huff... huff..." The girl's chest heaved, her back arched, and she gasped for breath... The log on her shoulder seemed to grow heavier and heavier, making her legs feel like lead, and she couldn't run fast at all...

Namikaze Minato, trailing behind the group, was the first to catch up with her. The man didn't speak, nor did he encourage his student; instead, he turned his gaze to the three running ahead, hoping they might do something... The first to turn around was Obito. Uchiha Obito seemed to have no intention of competing with Roy at all; he was only focused on Kakashi. Noticing Rin's situation, the Sun-Earring Boy immediately abandoned his race against Kakashi, slowed his pace, and waited for Rin to approach. He tried to lift her up, but...

With a "whoosh," a "thread" grazed Obito's shoulder, then, moving even faster than him, meandered through the air and instantly arrived beside Rin. Right in front of Namikaze Minato, amidst the girl's gasp... it coiled around her waist, carrying her forward...

Obito was stunned, watching as Rin was carried past him. The Sun-Earring Boy opened his mouth, and it looked like a porcelain vase that had been knocked over... "crash" as it fell to the ground and visibly shattered!

"Lin,"

"Ember!"

"You... come back here!"

He'd gone mad... Obito, with a burst of strength he didn't seem to possess, sprinted forward, head down, being carried along, and in the blink of an eye, he had overtaken Kakashi and Rin in pursuit...

Only Namikaze Minato remained in the group, staring thoughtfully at the "Nen Thread" that Roy had wrapped around Nohara Rin's waist. Clearly, this was yet another [Ninjutsu without hand seals] that he was unaware of!

"Strange... where did this kid learn all this stuff?"

"Could it be that Brother Fugaku taught him?"

Namikaze Minato recalled Uchiha Fugaku's stern face. Knowing Fugaku as he did, he saw him as rigid, serious, and cautious, but not at all like someone with innovative abilities. He quickly dismissed the thought, and with a flash, quickened his pace to give chase...

A yellow streak of light could be seen with the naked eye passing Obito, Kakashi, and Rin, until it caught up with Roy...

At the Hokage Building, after witnessing Roy's outstretched hand Attraction a log to his shoulder, Sarutobi Hiruzen watched as the Sun-Earring Boy suddenly flicked a transparent [Chakra thread] from his fingertips, wrapping it around Nohara Rin's waist and carrying her for a while. The old man, his face hidden behind the smoke, his features covered in fine wrinkles, felt a rare surge of emotion...

Oh no, the previous speculation might be glimpsing reality... Sarutobi Hiruzen his pen and wrote down the sentence he had just written... [Is it possible for all ninjutsu to skip the [hand seal] stage...?]

The key point was circled around "unknown," and for the first time, a hint of doubt surfaced in a heart that had never wavered in the face of countless battles... This doubt led to an unbelievable place, forcing Sarutobi Hiruzen to stare intently at the Crystal Ball before him, not daring to look down even at a single image...

"Thump... thump..." A lap quickly passed. Deep in the Southern Forest, Roy, carrying the log, continued his [Sun Breathing] technique, running through the dense forest day and night, year after year, just like running through the Kukuroo Mountain. Even with Nohara Rin in tow, he remained calm and composed, without breaking a sweat...

What's the name of this ninjutsu?

"Whoosh~" A gust of wind rose, and a head of yellow hair swayed. Namikaze Minato arrived right behind him... The man turned his head to look at the Sun-Earring Boy, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and asked with a smile.

Roy felt as if he were back in the morning, being asked by Itachi... He honestly replied, "It hasn't been named yet."

No name yet? Namikaze Minato's eyes flashed. Sure enough, this kid created it himself!

A child not even eight years old has created a ninjutsu without hand seals? If Kushina heard about this, she would definitely think it was a joke... And she actually believed Mikoto's words and asked him to take special care of Jin... Namikaze Minato was speechless.

He asked curiously, "You didn't name it, so how did you develop it?"

The name reflects the person, and the technique reflects the name... The name represents the developer's thinking, or... what we might call their creative ideas!

Take, for example, the [Rasengan] he's currently developing. It's also a [no-seal ninjutsu], named as such, meaning it involves hand-forming a ball and infusing it with spiraling power to enhance its power... As Roy said, developing a ninjutsu before even naming it... This is the first time in the entire life of the Yellow Flash that I've ever seen anything like it!

Roy understood Namikaze Minato's feelings; compared to [Chakra], it originated from the God Tree and was imbued with [yin].

[Yang] has traceable clues, [Nian] is obviously wildly imaginative, what reason, what logic, what this and that... all of it is bullshit, it only has one thing, and only one thing, that is, the Force of 'I Think So'!

I can develop any kind of Nen Ability I want!

This is evident from the fact that Alluka is nicknamed the "Wish Machine"!

Roy shrugged. "I don't know either."

The Sun-Earring Boy looked innocently at Namikaze Minato and explained, "That night I was thirsty but didn't want to get out of bed, so I tried to condense my Chakra into a rope to fetch a glass of water from the kitchen, and... it just appeared by itself..."

Roy brandished his right hand, and with a flick of his fingertips, he drew Nen Thread Nohara Rin to follow quickly. For a moment, Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was spying through the Clairvoyance Jutsu, all fell silent.

What should I say? What can I even say? Namikaze Minato spent three years developing just one technique, the Rasengan. The difference between people... seems even greater than the difference between a dog and a person!

"Cough cough..." In the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen, sitting behind his desk, coughed violently. It was unclear whether he was choking from too much smoking or from Roy's absurd yet somehow plausible words. The old man quickly patted his chest to clear the air stuck in his throat before recovering. He gazed at the Sun-Earring Boy in the Crystal Ball, and for a long time, he picked up his pen, unsure of what to write on the scroll.

"So, this is what genius is?" Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured to himself.

"Yes, that's genius, an unreasonable genius!" Namikaze Minato exclaimed inwardly.

The Yellow Flash gave the Sun-Earring Boy a deep look, noticing his rhythmic pace, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. It then raised an eyebrow, and for some inexplicable reason, blurted out, "Can you go even faster?"

Roy tilted his head and looked at him, asking, "Which fast method?"

"Is it like this?"

[Swamp Space] Exit!
