Although his Chakra Enhanced Strength was terrifying, Qingyun's body hadn't fully matured yet. For now, developing new close-combat techniques was crucial.
"I have Wind, Fire, and Lightning Release, which means I can learn Chidori and Rasengan."
Qingyun planned to learn Rasengan first. It didn't require Hand Seals, and he already knew exactly how to train for it.
This time, Qingyun didn't rely on the system. He bought a water balloon and a rubber ball himself, felt the whorl in his hair, then focused his attention and gathered chakra at the center of the balloon.
To speed up his progress, Qingyun naturally used the Shadow Clone Technique, exploiting the technique's "bug" to quickly accumulate experience through failure.
In less than an hour, Qingyun burst the water balloon.
"Good! Next, I'll burst the rubber ball!" Qingyun was very serious. The first stage was rotation; the second was maintaining enough power.
Qingyun used Shadow Clones again, trying over and over. White Fang watched from the side, extremely curious. He had no idea what kind of new technique Qingyun was trying to develop.
By the end of the afternoon, Qingyun had exhausted his chakra. The good news, though, was that he had burst the rubber ball too.
"That brings me to the third stage: maintaining it." Qingyun could now make his chakra spin and increase its power. He still needed to keep the chakra in a spherical shape.
This stage required extraordinary concentration.
Qingyun trained all night. Whenever his chakra ran out, he collapsed onto the ground to rest. As soon as he woke up, he continued training. His dedication even surprised White Fang.
But hard work paid off. Qingyun had already figured out how to learn the technique, and with his talent, he mastered the third stage completely in less than three days.
"All right! It's finally done!" Qingyun was filthy from head to toe, but he was incredibly excited.
He had actually mastered the Rasengan from the world of Naruto.
"Rasengan!" Qingyun formed one with a single hand and slammed it into a tree. A spiral-shaped mark appeared on the trunk, and the tree was ultimately knocked down.
Qingyun increased his chakra output, turning an ordinary Rasengan into a Big Ball Rasengan.
He gave up on making it an Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan. After training for so long, his chakra hadn't recovered yet.
"What do you think, Teacher White Fang? This is the new technique I developed—the Rasengan!" Qingyun didn't blush in the slightest. At this point in time, the Rasengan hadn't been invented yet.
White Fang nodded. "Not bad. This technique doesn't require Hand Seals, and it's highly destructive. I also feel it has plenty of room for further development."
"Yeah, but I'm out of chakra. Otherwise, I could keep developing it. It's enough for close-range combat for now. If I hit someone with the Rasengan, I should be able to defeat them quickly," Qingyun said.
"Good. The Rasengan uses Wind Release chakra. You can try developing it in that direction and giving it a new form. I think that would make it even more powerful," White Fang said.
Qingyun nodded. He was so tired that he promptly fell asleep.
"That kid is incredible. He developed a technique like this in less than three days!"
"If he takes this technique to its limits, it'll probably be incredibly powerful. Konoha has another Kage-level powerhouse—and he's only five!" White Fang marveled from the side.
White Fang had seen countless prodigies, but Qingyun was the first of his kind.
When Qingyun woke up, his chakra had fully recovered. He didn't throw himself straight into a new training session. Instead, he went to the Hokage's office to accept a mission.
He checked every day for B-Rank Missions. This made the Third Hokage feel pleased; after all, everyone wanted their student to be ambitious.
Qingyun studied under the Third Hokage and White Fang, trained on his own, and took on B-Rank Missions.
After all, Minato Namikaze had originally invented this technique. It was only right to give it back to him.
Just like that, a year passed in the blink of an eye. By the time Qingyun turned six, he had completed all ten B-Rank Missions.
The system's voice rang out again: "Ding, ding, ding! Congratulations, Host! You've completed ten B-Rank Missions! You've received one chance at a surprise ten-pull!"
"Would you like to draw?"
"Of course!" Qingyun was delighted. It had taken him a whole year to complete the missions.
"Congratulations, Host! You've obtained 1 billion taels!"
"Congratulations, Host! You've obtained points!"
"Congratulations, Host! You've obtained a Weakened Chakra Fruit!"
"Congratulations, Host! You've obtained points!"
"Congratulations, Host! You've obtained a Byakugan! (Can be fused)"
"Congratulations, Host! You've obtained the Super Body Flicker Technique!"
"Congratulations, Host! You've obtained one use of Devour Kage-level Chakra!"
"Congratulations, Host! You've obtained Chakra Attribute +1!"
"Congratulations, Host! You've obtained Genjutsu Rebound!"
"Congratulations, Host! You've obtained the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique!"
Qingyun had reaped a plentiful harvest from this ten-pull. He had gotten a billion taels right off the bat.
"What does 'weakened version' mean?" Qingyun asked directly.
"It means a weakened version of the Chakra Fruit. Just as the words say, if you eat it, you'll gain a great deal of chakra, and your growth will speed up!"
"You've obtained a Byakugan. You can fuse it directly into your eyes, giving you the abilities of an ordinary Byakugan!"
"The Super Body Flicker Technique is a modified version of the Body Flicker Technique. It allows you to move even faster over short distances." The system briskly explained all the rewards he had received.
"As for Devour Kage-level Chakra, I don't need to explain that, do I? Once you devour it, you'll gain a large amount of chakra."
"Chakra Attribute +1 means that your chakra currently has Wind, Fire, and Lightning Release. Now you can add one more nature."
"You can choose now," the system prompted.
"Then I'll add Water." Qingyun made his choice, adding another nature to his chakra.
"Genjutsu Rebound is exactly what it sounds like. You don't know much about genjutsu, but after learning this technique, genjutsu used against you will not only fail, it will also rebound on the caster. It's a very useful ability," the system said.
"The Bringer-of-Darkness Technique is a genjutsu created by the Second Hokage. Once used, it blocks the target's vision. Their world will be nothing but darkness. It's also a very good genjutsu."
After the system had explained all the rewards, Qingyun said at once, "No time like the present. I'll devour the Chakra Fruit now!"
"And I'll devour the Kage-level chakra too!"
