"Really?"

"Moon, are you really willing to switch places with me?"

Before Uchiha Yue could even finish speaking, and before Hatake Kakashi could say anything, Kushina Uzumaki excitedly grabbed Uchiha Yue's arm, her face beaming, and said, "Great! I can finally Minato a gift he'll like! Yue, I'll teach you Minato's secrets to using Wind Style Chakra right now. On the way back to Konoha, you'll teach me that Ninjutsu called Rasengan, okay?"

"Sure."

Upon hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, Uchiha Yue nodded and took the scroll from her hand.

However, just as Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki arrived, Hatake Kakashi stood up apologetically, bowing his head and saying, "Yue, the reason I lent you the scroll of the Hatake Sword Style is because you won against me in the duel. As for me, I don't have anything to exchange with you right now, so I won't learn your new Ninjutsu. I'm sorry."

"Kakashi, if you could change your personality, you could become even stronger."

Hatake Kakashi reached this point, Uchiha Yue grabbed Hatake Kakashi arm, shook her head slightly, and said, "Kakashi, we're comrades, and the value of the Hatake Sword Style far exceeds the value of the new Ninjutsu I created. So even if I teach you the Rasengan, you'll be at a huge disadvantage. Besides..."

Uchiha Yue paused slightly, then continued, "Furthermore, since you're currently specializing in the Hatake Sword Style, your offensive options are inevitably somewhat limited in battle. If I teach you the Rasengan, your strength will increase, and our teamwork will improve. So, Kakashi, please don't refuse my offer. Or perhaps you don't consider me your comrade?"

"Of course not!"

Hatake Kakashi may be a little arrogant, but he's not the kind of person who's difficult to talk to.

To put it simply, Hatake Kakashi is currently a bit of a tsundere, so when he saw Uchiha Yue acting like this, he blushed and didn't know how to respond.

Subsequently, with Uchiha Yue exchanging the Rasengan as a bargaining chip, the atmosphere within the team improved considerably. This was because, in the eyes of Hatake Kakashi and Kushina Uzumaki, Uchiha Yue's actions were far too generous. As ninjas themselves, Hatake Kakashi and Kushina Uzumaki were acutely aware of Hatake Kakashi immense difficulties involved in developing a new Ninjutsu. Therefore, seeing Uchiha Yue so readily exchange Ninjutsu naturally improved their impression of him.

However, in Uchiha Yue's opinion, Hatake Kakashi and Kushina Uzumaki were still at a disadvantage.

After all, only Uchiha Yue knew that the true developer of the Ninjutsu Rasengan Minato Namikaze. Therefore, Uchiha Yue was overjoyed that his Rasengan could not only be exchanged for Minato Namikaze Wind Style Chakra, but also eliminate Hatake Kakashi's lingering resentment.

Later, on the way back to Konoha with Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki, Uchiha Yue continued to teach them how to use the Rasengan.

Kushina Uzumaki and Hatake Kakashi didn't let Uchiha Yue suffer either. While Uchiha Yue was teaching them how to use the Rasengan, Kushina Uzumaki even shared the Uzumaki Clan Secret Technique. As for Hatake Kakashi, he imparted some of his insights into using the Hatake Sword Style to Uchiha Yue, resulting in Uchiha Yue gaining even more from the Uchiha Yue.

Because they had been exchanging Ninjutsu along the way, Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki's return journey naturally took longer. During their time back in Konoha, Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki focused on mastering their newly learned Ninjutsu. For example, Kushina Uzumaki and Hatake Kakashi encountered some difficulties while practicing the first stage of the Rasengan, naturally requiring more time to train. Uchiha Yue, seeing Hatake Kakashi and Kushina Uzumaki's diligent training, found some time to slack off.

However, while teaching the two, Uchiha Yue also diligently engaged in his own daily training, so he always had a very fulfilling time.

It only took Uchiha Yue, Kushina Uzumaki, and the others about ten minutes to complete those high-level missions. However, it took them a full twenty minutes to return to Konoha. This was because during those twenty minutes, Kushina Uzumaki Uchiha Yue Kushina Uzumaki Hatake Kakashi failed to complete their Rasengan training, which naturally delayed their journey.

However, Uchiha Yue wasn't worried about delaying their journey, since returning to Konoha later would also have its advantages.

Having encountered Kirigakure ninjas on the road before, Uchiha Yue was also afraid of Kirigakure ambushing him. But now, Uchiha Yue, Kushina Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki the others had very little time to travel, making it difficult for Kirigakure Uchiha Yue ambush them, which saved them even more trouble.

However, after being away from Konoha for a whole month, Uchiha Yue found himself missing his life Konoha.

Thanks to Kushina Uzumaki's successful mastery of the Rasengan during her twenty years of training, Uchiha Yue and the others were able to travel faster. As for Hatake Kakashi, his Rasengan training is still stuck at the second stage, naturally because Hatake Kakashi's control over his Chakra is somewhat insufficient. It's important to know that Kushina Uzumaki was originally Jonin and a member of the Uzumaki Clan; her Chakra control far surpassed Hatake Kakashi's.

Moreover, the greatest difficulty in Ninjutsu the Rasengan lies in controlling one's own Chakra.

If Kushina Uzumaki hadn't been so impulsive, she probably would have been able to master the Rasengan in just seven days.

Unfortunately, changing Kushina Uzumaki's personality is countless times more difficult than mastering the Rasengan!

After a long journey, twenty days later, Uchiha Yue, Kushina Uzumaki, and the others were finally returning to Konoha. However, during their training today, Uchiha Yue suddenly felt a sense of impending breakthrough. Therefore, Uchiha Yue specifically asked Kushina Uzumaki and Hatake Kakashi to stop their journey and quietly cultivate in a mountain cave.

The breakthrough that Uchiha Yue is about to make is his own spiritual energy!

Under Kushina Uzumaki's careful tutelage, Uchiha Yue gained a deeper understanding of the Uzumaki Clan's training methods and diligently cultivated his spiritual energy for the past twenty years. Therefore, after twenty years of rigorous training, Uchiha Yue finally felt that his spiritual energy was about to break through to the next level. Moreover, he believed that if his spiritual energy could break through, Uchiha Yue strength would also advance further, and he might even reach the level of Chunin.

But who would have thought that just as Uchiha Yue was wholeheartedly cultivating in the cave, preparing to break through the bottleneck of his spiritual energy...

Suddenly, a figure shrouded in darkness quietly arrived at the cave where Uchiha Yue and the others were resting!
