Young People Don't Talk About Virtue (Bonus Chapter, Seeking Attention)

"Try to visualize the image more carefully."

"Ah, Big Brother, I can't picture it. I've had too little exposure to this sort of thing."

"Wait, let me look. There are some decent illustrations in this book. Right, found it, it's here. Take a look and transform according to what you see."

"Oh... let me see... hiss... Big Brother, isn't this a bit much? It's so flashy."

"Flashy my foot. What do you know? This is the necessary path to becoming a real man! It's the very first step."

Poof, poof, poof—

Naruto used the Puppet Shadow Clone.

Suddenly, five clones appeared, ready to be controlled at will.

"Isn't this ninjutsu cool?"

"Wow... Big Brother is amazing!"

Konohamaru, who hadn't been exposed to the application of ninjutsu, stared in a daze.

Naruto nodded with satisfaction.

Poof, poof, poof— The Puppet Shadow Clones vanished.

The appearance of a Shadow Clone and a Puppet Shadow Clone were nearly identical.

Unless Naruto spoke up.

They wouldn't know the fundamental difference between the two.

"There's something even more impressive. Want to learn it?"

"Ah, what else is there?"

"Rasengan!"

As Naruto spoke, a small, blue typhoon condensed from chakra appeared in the center of his palm.

Crack—

Naruto casually struck the Rasengan against a nearby tree with a one-meter radius.

The seemingly sturdy, towering tree.

Was actually pierced straight through.

Boom.

The giant tree crashed to the ground.

Dust billowed into the air.

Konohamaru was stunned into a stupor.

The Anbu members watching from the sidelines were equally stunned.

Since when did Naruto become this strong?

He even knew this kind of hand-seal-less ninjutsu!

Among them, a figure who appeared to be a squad leader.

His eyes were wide with shock!

Because he had the honor of seeing the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze use this very technique!

It was indeed the hand-seal-less ninjutsu called Rasengan!

It had shone brilliantly during the Third Shinobi World War.

To think Naruto had directly inherited this technique.

Was it self-taught?

Or did the Fourth Hokage watch over him from the heavens, appearing in Naruto's dreams to teach him this ninjutsu?

Regardless.

Naruto was one of their own from Konoha.

Konoha has a promising future successor!!!!

After a moment of bewilderment.

Konohamaru couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, this ninjutsu called Rasengan is great! I want to learn it!!!"

A smirk tugged at the corner of Naruto's mouth.

If he didn't pull out some trump cards.

His little brother Konohamaru might slack off during training.

Besides, teaching Konohamaru the Rasengan was no big deal.

If he were busy in the future, he could just have him teach his daughters directly.

Hmm... the sons wouldn't be necessary.

Naruto only needed thoughtful little cotton-padded jackets!

Most importantly, Naruto, as a role model, needed to add a little something extra to the mix.

"I've already taught you."

"Huh??? Have you?"

"To master this technique, one must first... first learn the S-Rank Induction Jutsu! By the way, I should tell you beforehand: if you maintain the S-Rank Induction Jutsu state while using the Rasengan, the power can double!"

"It's that amazing??!!"

Konohamaru was dumbfounded.

Double the power!!!!?

Thinking with his currently not-so-bright little head, it meant that when releasing the Rasengan, the power could pierce through two large trees like these!

However, one question left Konohamaru puzzled.

"Big Brother, why don't you use the Rasengan while in the S-Rank Induction Jutsu state? Wouldn't the power be even greater that way?"

Naruto brought out his prepared excuse.

"You haven't forgotten that I'm the creator of the S-Rank Induction Jutsu, have you?"

"For me, I can easily control the output and retract it at will."

"But you can't. Little brother, you have to take things one step at a time; don't take too big a stride. I can handle it, but you might not be able to."

Konohamaru was filled with motivation.

"Big Brother, again! I want to master the S-Rank Induction Jutsu!"

"Good lad, you've got ambition. Big Brother admires that!"

Bang, bang, bang.

The few Anbu members hiding in the back to observe the situation had nosebleeds streaming down.

This was just ridiculous.

They were responsible for assassinations, intelligence gathering, and covert operations.

They lived miserable lives every day where their lives could be forfeit at any moment.

Sword flashes, shadows, injuries, and bleeding were all part of their daily routine.

But this was the first time they had been driven to nosebleeds while executing a mission!

My god!!!

Young people these days have no ninja ethics.

He actually came up with this kind of super jutsu that could benefit all the single men in the ninja world just to launch a sneak attack and deceive them!

The medical expenses for these old Anbu veterans...

Getting injured while on the job!

This counted as a work-related injury.

They would have to find Hiruzen Sarutobi for reimbursement later.

They would tell him that his grandson was actually capable of being this flashy.

You are so flashy~

To actually come and deceive, to launch a sneak attack!

On them, these old Anbu veterans!

It was simply... wonderful!

Please, by all means, bring more of this kind of thing in the future.

After all, the more, the better.
