Scheming Against Minato Namikaze

Inside the Cave, Qin Yu sat cross-legged, recovering the chakra within his body.

At the same time, he calculated how to solve his lack of chakra in a short period.

After these two battles, his chakra was mostly depleted; if not for his ocular power as a fallback, he would likely be unable to put up a front against enemies.

After much deliberation, Qin Yu ultimately narrowed it down to two methods.

First, establish a contract with Mount Myōboku and learn Sage Mode, which would allow for rapid chakra recovery by absorbing natural energy.

Second, find one of the Tailed Beasts and become a Jinchuriki himself.

These were the quickest solutions Qin Yu could think of at the moment.

However, the summoning contract for Mount Myōboku had always been carried by Jiraiya.

Ever since Orochimaru defected and fled Konoha, Jiraiya had been acting as a babysitter, constantly tracking and keeping watch over Orochimaru.

Finding Jiraiya in a short time would likely be very difficult.

As for finding a Tailed Beast to become a Jinchuriki, looking across the entire ninja world, apart from the Three-Tails, the other eight Tailed Beasts were all hosted within Jinchuriki.

In these times of war, every ninja village was extremely cautious regarding the protection of their Jinchuriki.

Trying to use this method to solve his chakra shortage in the immediate future seemed even more impractical than the first.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu sighed helplessly.

"This is too hard!"

"Qin Yu, if you have any difficulties, you don't mind telling me, do you?" Minato Namikaze's voice suddenly arrived.

Looking at the approaching Minato Namikaze, Qin Yu's eyes brightened.

Minato Namikaze's ninjutsu could be said to be the "Big Three."

Starting with the Flying Thunder God, finishing with the Rasengan, and if he couldn't win, he'd use the Reaper Death Seal.

Apart from these three techniques, in Qin Yu's impression, Minato Namikaze hadn't really displayed many other ninjutsu.

However, among these three, what Qin Yu valued most was the Flying Thunder God.

The Lightning Release Chakra Mode could significantly boost Qin Yu's speed.

But when it came to escaping, killing enemies, and the element of surprise, no ninjutsu could compare to the Flying Thunder God.

"Qin Yu, are you worried that Danzo will be detrimental to you?" Minato Namikaze asked tentatively.

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, not expecting Minato Namikaze to fill in the blanks himself.

He had originally been calculating how to trick Minato Namikaze into teaching him the Flying Thunder God.

Now, it saved him a lot of explanation, so he said, "That's just a minor matter. If Danzo really wants to make a move on me, I'll just not go back."

"The world is so big, there will always be a place for me to hide."

Minato Namikaze's expression froze.

This was exactly what he was most worried about.

According to the descriptions from Uzuki Cangwu and the others, Qin Yu's strength was enough to reach the level of a Jonin.

It was even possible that he was above that.

If combined with his astonishing talent for ninjutsu, once Qin Yu left Konoha, it would be a huge loss and a hidden danger.

"Qin Yu, don't think of things too negatively. I have a good relationship with Fugaku, and I absolutely won't let Danzo target you unscrupulously," Minato Namikaze urged quickly. "Besides, I will report this matter to the Third Hokage in advance. With his wisdom, he will definitely handle this fairly."

"You can just rest assured and return to Konoha with me."

Regarding Minato Namikaze, Qin Yu had also learned about him in the Original Work.

Just like the saying goes, good people have short lives.

Therefore, Qin Yu didn't doubt Minato Namikaze's intentions too much, but his goal was to get his hands on the Flying Thunder God.

If he were to be dismissed with just these few words, it would be an insult to the intelligence he had gained from living two lifetimes.

"I also want to go back, but unfortunately, I don't have many means to protect myself. If you are willing to teach me the Flying Thunder God, I might consider it," Qin Yu said with a smile.

Minato Namikaze was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "So you were aiming for this from the very beginning."

"It seems you didn't take Danzo to heart at all. However, the Flying Thunder God is a forbidden technique developed by the Second Hokage. Even if I wanted to teach it to you, I would need the Third Hokage's permission," Minato Namikaze said helplessly.

"If you really want to learn, I can teach you the ninjutsu I developed myself."

"You mean the Rasengan?" Qin Yu rolled his eyes helplessly.

With someone like Minato Namikaze, who was so rigid, trying to get him to teach the Flying Thunder God in private was probably harder than killing him.

It seemed he would have to think of another way.

"You also know about the Rasengan?" Minato Namikaze's face lit up with joy. "This Rasengan doesn't require hand seals, the requirements for the amount of chakra are average, and I've also developed a systematic learning method. I'll demonstrate it for you now."

"Rasengan!" As Minato Namikaze said this, the five fingers of his right hand tightened slightly.

Under the swirling chakra, a blue wave of energy rapidly formed, instantly creating a sphere of pure blue chakra.

It looked like a miniature blue starry sky.

Of course, if one judged it by appearance and underestimated this Rasengan.

It would likely lead to their ultimate demise.

In the Original Work, there was a humorous saying.

There was no enemy that a Rasengan couldn't defeat.

If there was, one Rasengan wasn't enough, so use two.

If even two weren't enough, then vary the way you spin the ball, and you'd eventually bring about the end.

"Did you see clearly?" Minato Namikaze dispersed the Rasengan in his hand and asked, "I'll demonstrate it a second time. With your aptitude, as long as you cultivate diligently and control the flow of chakra, you should be able to learn it within a week."

Looking at Minato Namikaze's enthusiastic face, Qin Yu couldn't refuse.

Moreover, Naruto's Wind Style: Rasengan in the Original Work was indeed awesome.

Compared to the execution of Lightning Style: Kirin, it was less complicated.

Sensing Minato Namikaze's chakra circulating again, Qin Yu activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

In Naruto, the Sharingan was an in-built cheat, so why not use it?

Minato Namikaze, who was constantly observing Qin Yu, felt as if he had been seen through completely at that moment.

The instant he looked up, their eyes met, and his pupils involuntarily contracted.

The chakra he had gathered in his hand also dispersed with a boom.

"Is that the Mangekyo Sharingan?" Minato Namikaze couldn't help but ask.

Qin Yu was not surprised that Minato Namikaze had seen through it.

The Mangekyo Sharingan was not the first time it had appeared in Konoha's history.

At the very least, all information about Uchiha Madara would have been thoroughly recorded by the Second Hokage.

And Minato Namikaze, as the one most likely to become the Fourth Hokage.

He was particularly concerned about resolving matters related to the Uchiha Clan.

It was not surprising that he knew of the Mangekyo Sharingan's existence.

"Aren't you surprised that an unknown junior like me possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan?" Qin Yu had no intention of hiding it.

In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks were like dirt and broken tiles.

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath and nodded, "I finally understand why they say you have a talent for learning ninjutsu."
