(Many thanks to you all, Yue bows!)

Uchiha Yue possessed enough confidence to win the wager. It wasn't because Tsunade always lost her bets, but rather because he had faith in his own ability to control chakra.

Setting aside the other students training at the Ninja Academy, Uchiha Yue had already completed the tree-climbing and water-walking exercises. His current level of chakra control even surpassed that of ordinary genin who had already graduated. Take Uzumaki Naruto from the original story, for example; when he first encountered the Rasengan, he was nowhere near as proficient in chakra control as Uchiha Yue was now.

While practicing with a balloon in front of Tsunade earlier, Uchiha Yue had nearly mastered the first stage of the Rasengan. With just a little more effort, he would be able to complete it. It was precisely for this reason that he felt confident he could develop the Rasengan within two months and win his bet against Tsunade.

Of course, training for the Rasengan on his own was incredibly difficult. After all, he was attempting to create the jutsu based solely on his knowledge of the original plot, without any guidance from others. Uzumaki Naruto's ability to master the Rasengan in such a short time was undoubtedly due to the help of Jiraiya.

Having one of the Sannin, Jiraiya, providing personal instruction versus training alone based on memories of a story—the gap in difficulty between the two was as vast as heaven and earth.

Therefore, even though Uchiha Yue was confident in completing the Rasengan within two months, he still had to set aside some of his other training courses when necessary to dedicate time to its development. After all, Uchiha Yue had a strong competitive streak; he didn't want to lose to that annoying Tsunade!

"Yue, you don't seem to be practicing your kunai throwing techniques much lately. You've switched to playing with balloons instead!"

That afternoon, Uchiha Obito, who had been training alongside Uchiha Yue, felt exhausted and walked over to see how his friend was doing. However, when he saw Uchiha Yue playing with a balloon again, a look of confusion appeared on his face, and he furrowed his brows as he asked.

"Obito, everyone's training is different. I'm just following a method that suits me."

Releasing the chakra he had been circulating inside the balloon, Uchiha Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained to Uchiha Obito, "I haven't given up on my kunai training. It's just that I've hit a bottleneck, and I won't see any improvement in the short term, so I can only rely on daily hard work to break through it. Therefore, I'm spending my remaining time on chakra control training. What I'm doing now is exactly that."

"Uh... does using chakra require techniques?"

Clearly, Uchiha Obito, who was only training at the Ninja Academy, had no way of understanding what Uchiha Yue was talking about.

Just like Uzumaki Naruto and the others in the original story, before they encountered Hatake Kakashi, they relied entirely on the knowledge taught at the Ninja Academy and neglected the training of chakra control techniques. It was only after successfully completing the tree-climbing exercise that their strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

In other words, the training of chakra control techniques was far beyond the curriculum of the Ninja Academy.

Only after graduating from the academy and successfully becoming a genin would a mentor begin to teach the techniques of chakra control.

Seeing the confused look on Uchiha Obito's face, Uchiha Yue shook his head helplessly and walked slowly toward a tree. He then focused his chakra into the soles of his feet and climbed up the towering tree as if he were walking on flat ground. Uchiha Obito, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded the moment Uchiha Yue started climbing; he never imagined that the gap between them was so vast.

"So... so amazing!"

Watching Uchiha Yue "walk" to the top of the tree, Uchiha Obito wore a look of astonishment, his eyes flashing with an unidentifiable light.

Having spent so much time with Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Yue naturally knew what that expression meant.

Then, at Uchiha Obito's pleading, Uchiha Yue began to teach him how to climb trees. However, during the process, Uchiha Yue simply let Uchiha Obito practice on his own while he stared blankly at the balloon in his hand. In just three days of training, Uchiha Yue had discovered that he hadn't even finished the first stage of the Rasengan. Even he felt surprised; why, with his level of chakra control, had he not yet completed the first stage?

Recalling the process of Jiraiya teaching Uzumaki Naruto the Rasengan in the original story, Uchiha Yue had successfully divided the training into four stages.

The first stage was to concentrate chakra in the palm of his hand, which Uchiha Yue had been able to do since completing the tree-climbing and water-walking exercises.

The second stage was to further stabilize and continuously control the rotation of the chakra to burst a water-filled balloon.

The third stage was to further increase the power of the chakra rotation to burst a rubber ball, which was a hundred times tougher than a balloon.

Once the first three stages were completed, the final step was to maintain the rotation from the second and third stages, thereby completing the Rasengan.

However, while training for the second stage, Uchiha Yue noticed flaws in his chakra control. He realized that even with his vast mental energy, it was inevitable that he would make mistakes when controlling the finer details of his chakra. For three full days, Uchiha Yue had repeated the process of bursting balloons, and after successfully bursting them, he had even started filling them with water to train.

It was clear that Uchiha Yue had made progress in those three days; for instance, he could only burst empty balloons at first, but now he had started bursting water-filled ones. Even so, Uchiha Yue felt his progress was slow. After all, in his own view, with his powerful mental energy, he should have completed the second stage two days ago.

It had to be said that as his talent for training gradually revealed itself, Uchiha Yue's mood became increasingly impatient.

After all, Uchiha Yue's reputation at the Ninja Academy had already quietly surpassed that of Hatake Kakashi. No matter how mature his mind was, a little impatience was understandable. Therefore, Uchiha Yue used the monotonous training to smooth out the rough edges of his mind, as he had also felt his own state of mind becoming unstable lately.

Finally...

After three full days of training, with a loud "pop," the water-filled balloon in Uchiha Yue's hand burst!

Although the water inside splashed all over him, there was no strange expression on his face—only joy.

At the same time, Uchiha Yue noticed that Uchiha Obito was already able to climb halfway up the towering tree after a running start.

Seeing that both his and Uchiha Obito's training were going very well, a smile immediately appeared on Uchiha Yue's face.

"I really didn't expect Obito to have such good talent."

"If I didn't possess mental energy far beyond that of an ordinary person, I definitely wouldn't have been able to complete the tree-climbing training in just three hours like Obito did."

"No wonder Uchiha Madara chose Obito as his successor in the original story."

"I'm afraid Uchiha Madara had long since set his sights on Obito's talent and deliberately set a trap in Konoha to lead him down a path of darkness!"

Silently sighing in his heart, Uchiha Yue watched his friend working hard and sweating, and he quietly clenched his fists.

Since he had arrived in the world of Naruto, Uchiha Yue was going to live life according to his own terms. Let all those original plot points go to hell!

After Uchiha Yue and Uchiha Obito finished their training at the Ninja Academy, they each returned home to prepare for dinner. Uchiha Yue naturally intended to continue training after the meal, but because his father, Uchiha Nara, had completed a mission today and was returning home for a reunion, Uchiha Yue had specifically come home to eat.

After dinner, Uchiha Yue finally had time to talk to his father, Uchiha Nara, and he prepared to ask him a few questions.

After all, Uchiha Nara was an elite jonin of Konoha. With his father's guidance, Uchiha Yue believed he could solve some of the difficulties he was facing in his training.

However, just as Uchiha Yue opened his mouth to ask about his training, Uchiha Nara suddenly handed him a blank sheet of white paper.

At the same time, as Uchiha Yue looked at the white paper in astonishment, Uchiha Nara suddenly smiled and said, "Yue, are you interested in learning ninjutsu?"
