Combined Ninjutsu Successful

On a sunny afternoon, Namikaze Minato relied on his own strength to successfully execute a combined Wind and Fire Style jutsu without the aid of the Shadow Clone Technique.

This achievement did not come easily; he had endured countless failures and setbacks before this, yet he had never once given up.

After every attempt, Namikaze Minato would carefully summarize his experiences and continuously adjust how he controlled his chakra.

Gradually, he seemed to have grasped some of the keys to success.

This time, Namikaze Minato was more focused than ever, concentrating fully on guiding the flow of chakra within his body and feeling the subtle differences between Wind Style and Fire Style with his heart.

Hyuga Shinichi, watching from the sidelines, activated his Byakugan, clearly observing the nature transformation of the chakra within Namikaze Minato's body.

When he sensed that the perfect moment had arrived, he shouted without hesitation.

"Minato! Now!"

Receiving the cue, Namikaze Minato understood immediately. He performed hand seals rapidly, condensing a mass of fire-attribute chakra in his puffed-out cheeks while simultaneously surging wind-attribute chakra toward his throat.

"Wind and Fire Style Combined Jutsu: Flame Wind Bow and Arrow!"

Hyuga Shinichi had come up with the name; if it had been left to Namikaze Minato, the condensed chakra would likely have dissipated before he finished shouting the technique's name.

The violent wind-attribute chakra propelled the scorching fire-attribute chakra from his mouth.

The two elements of wind and fire intertwined and complemented each other, producing a marvelous change in chakra nature.

The flames spat from Namikaze Minato's mouth were like a scorching fire serpent, while the gale, like a white serpent, coiled around the fire serpent. They danced and twisted wildly, further accelerating the burning speed and temperature of the flames as they lunged straight toward the wooden stake serving as their target.

The powerful impact formed by the combination of wind and fire was beyond imagination; in the blink of an eye, the thick wooden stake was instantly reduced to ashes under the engulfment of the raging inferno.

The power of the Flame Wind Bow and Arrow went far beyond that; the ground in its path also suffered heavy damage, with the lush green turf completely incinerated, revealing the earth scorched black and glossy by the high heat.

Such terrifying power left both Hyuga Shinichi and Jiraiya, who were present, with wide eyes and expressions of utter disbelief.

Standing several meters away from Namikaze Minato, both men could still feel the heat radiating from the Flame Wind Bow and Arrow.

As for Namikaze Minato, the one who had unleashed this technique, he looked at the scene he had created with immense excitement, his exhilaration plain for all to see.

"Brother Shinichi! Master Jiraiya! I did it!"

Namikaze Minato danced with excitement, shouting continuously.

"Success! I finally succeeded!"

Jiraiya looked at the ecstatic Namikaze Minato before him, a gratified smile appearing on his face. He nodded with satisfaction, signaling his approval and affirmation before speaking.

"Not bad! Minato! This is the powerful force generated after combining two types of chakra; its power is truly extraordinary."

Hyuga Shinichi also smiled and offered his praise, then shifted the tone of the conversation.

"However, the results we have achieved now are merely a beginning. If you want to further enhance this ability, or even fuse it into a Kekkei Genkai, you will need to dedicate more time to practice and continue exploring and probing."

Hearing this, a brilliant light of excitement flickered in Namikaze Minato's eyes. He knew very well that if not for the careful teaching and patient guidance of Brother Shinichi and Master Jiraiya, he could never have achieved such great progress and final success.

Thus, he secretly swore in his heart that he would train twice as hard in the future, striving to become an outstanding and excellent ninja as soon as possible, using his own actions to protect this "home" that had given him endless warmth.

Hyuga Shinichi continued.

"Of course, in this process, I and Big Brother Jiraiya will always be here to accompany and assist you. Even if you cannot eventually succeed in fusing a Kekkei Genkai, it does not matter. As your big brother, I will help you train or find a jutsu that is even more suitable for you."

At this point, Hyuga Shinichi thought of the Flying Thunder God technique, a powerful jutsu hidden within the Scroll of Seals.

However, given his current level of contribution, he was far from qualified to exchange for this technique, but...

Hyuga Shinichi's gaze turned toward Jiraiya beside him, secretly pondering that Big Brother Jiraiya must surely have enough contribution points to exchange for the Flying Thunder God technique!

Just then, Jiraiya felt a predatory gaze fixed upon him and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He turned his head and found Hyuga Shinichi staring at him.

"Shinichi... why are you staring at me like that... what exactly do you want?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but ask.

Hyuga Shinichi replied with a grin.

"Big Brother Jiraiya, Minato is your prized disciple! Now that they have successfully completed a combined jutsu, don't you intend to give the lad a gift?

In my opinion, the Flying Thunder God technique invented by the Second Hokage is quite suitable for Minato. What do you think, Big Brother Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya groaned inwardly; he knew Hyuga Shinichi was intentionally steering the conversation toward the Flying Thunder God technique, but it was difficult to refuse directly.

As a master, one should indeed reward an excellent disciple, but the Flying Thunder God technique was an S-rank space-time ninjutsu. An S-rank jutsu signified an "Ultimate, Top-Tier Jutsu."

Ever since the Second Hokage developed it, no one had been able to truly master this S-rank technique.

Not only was the learning difficulty extremely high, but it also required a talent for spatial perception that surpassed the ordinary.

After all, to use the Flying Thunder God technique, one must first be able to accurately sense the location of the previously left technique formula marks to achieve instantaneous teleportation.

In the long time he had been mentoring Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya knew deeply that Namikaze Minato possessed extraordinary talent in the field of spatial perception.

Judging by his superior learning talent alone, it would not be surprising if Namikaze Minato could learn the Flying Thunder God technique.

However, the problem was that the Flying Thunder God technique was incredibly expensive. Jiraiya had already spent a large amount of his personal contribution points, and he wasn't sure if he had enough left to exchange for it now.

As if reading Jiraiya's thoughts, Hyuga Shinichi asked immediately.

"Does Big Brother Jiraiya have some unspeakable difficulty?"

"Well... actually, it's not that I don't want to gift the Flying Thunder God technique to Minato; it's just that my current contribution points might not be enough to complete the exchange."

Jiraiya scratched his head and said.

"Oh! So that's how it is! Come to think of it, the number of missions I've taken on and completed over the years is quite substantial. I imagine I've accumulated a fair amount of contribution points, but they don't have much practical use for me, aside from exchanging them for some pocket money at most. How about this: you contribute a portion, I contribute a portion, and we both give this gift to Minato together, how about that?"

Hyuga Shinichi responded with a smile.

"Is that even allowed? In that case, once Minato finishes resting, let's go find the Hokage together and ask. However, let me cover the majority of the cost; you only need to make up the difference, Shinichi. After all, I am Minato's teacher, hahahaha!"

Jiraiya burst into loud laughter.

"Hmph! I am Minato's older brother!"

Hyuga Shinichi retorted, refusing to be outdone.
