Actually 15 Times the Third Generation's Chakra Amount

"Of course I won't give up, it's just that this ninjutsu isn't of much use to me," Yeyu said.

Kakashi looked at Yeyu; if not for the Conqueror's Haki Yeyu had just released, he would have thought Yeyu was just talking big.

This was their first meeting, and his impression of Yeyu was already deeply etched in his mind.

Previously, his assessment of Yeyu's strength had been mere speculation, but at this moment, he was completely convinced.

He also marveled at the keen eye of the Third Hokage.

He had been so decisive, discovering Yeyu's uniqueness and immediately resolving to cultivate him, even aiming to groom him to become Hokage.

The three of them talked for the entire night.

The Third Hokage even asked Yeyu to bring out the Five-Fold Rashomon so the three of them could study it.

It was late into the night.

As the conversation between Yeyu, the Third Hokage, and Kakashi grew spirited, Yeyu even suggested they find a place to put it into practice.

The Third Hokage was stunned.

This was an S-rank forbidden jutsu; could they just practice it whenever they pleased?

And an S-rank forbidden jutsu that consumed so much chakra, at that.

If he released it once, Yeyu probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed tomorrow; a single use would drain his chakra dry.

However, seeing how high Yeyu's spirits were, the Third Hokage could only tell him not to push himself and to try summoning a single Rashomon first.

The three of them arrived at a training ground on the outskirts of Konoha.

This training ground was vast, with a radius of several dozen kilometers.

Standing in the middle of the field, they were surrounded by woods.

The Third Hokage and Kakashi stood not far behind Yeyu.

Watching Yeyu's back, both men wore serious expressions.

They didn't dare speak, fearing they might disturb him.

But Yeyu was very calm.

He had already thoroughly mastered the Five-Fold Rashomon.

Yeyu stood on the grass and bit his finger.

He smeared the blood across his palm.

He slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Five-Fold Rashomon"

The Five-Fold Rashomon usually requires hand seals, but if one is skilled enough—like the First Hokage—they are unnecessary.

Orochimaru, however, still requires them.

Yeyu naturally did not.

"Rumble."

In an instant, five ghost-faced Rashomon gates, nearly a hundred meters high, rose before Yeyu.

Huge bells hung on both sides of the gates.

They emitted a rhythmic clanging sound.

The five gates stood in the training ground like five massive mountains.

The distance between each gate was a hundred meters.

"This, this... didn't he say he could only summon the Triple Rashomon?" The Third Hokage pointed at the Five-Fold Rashomon in the distance, his face full of shock.

One didn't need to count carefully to know that those towering gates were indeed five massive Rashomon.

Kakashi looked up at the Five-Fold Rashomon, which stood as tall as a mountain range in the distance.

He remained speechless for a long time.

After releasing the Five-Fold Rashomon, Yeyu took a look and muttered to himself, "It's quite tall, but the chakra consumption is also immense; it drained a tenth of my total chakra."

Yeyu's chakra reserves were already vast, yet it had still consumed a tenth of his total, which spoke volumes about the cost of this ninjutsu.

Even a jonin wouldn't be able to release it; they would be drained dry before they could even finish.

Even Orochimaru could only use the Triple Rashomon as a trump card; this ninjutsu was simply too taxing.

The Third Hokage and Kakashi walked over to Yeyu's side.

The Third Hokage spoke to Yeyu in a very grave tone, "Yeyu, your chakra reserves and talent for ninjutsu are truly terrifying."

To master an S-rank forbidden jutsu after only one night of study—and one that required such a massive amount of chakra to release—one could only imagine the extent of the chakra within Yeyu's body.

Yeyu's strength was even greater than the Third Hokage had estimated.

Looking at the hundred-meter-tall Rashomon, the Third Hokage felt as if he were witnessing the birth of another First Hokage.

Kakashi stared at the massive Rashomon before him, unable to believe that someone could unleash such a terrifying ninjutsu.

This was no ordinary Earth Style ninjutsu.

It belonged to a class of defensive ninja tools possessing immense defensive power.

Its defensive capabilities were far superior to any standard Earth Style technique.

After watching for a moment, Kakashi sighed deeply, "It is worthy of being an S-rank ninjutsu; a technique of this caliber is simply not something an ordinary ninja could ever unleash."

"The amount of chakra required just to summon such a colossal defensive Rashomon far exceeds the limits of an average jonin."

"Let alone a jonin, even an average Kage-level powerhouse would struggle to manifest it."

"Orochimaru also possesses this ninjutsu, but even with his chakra reserves, he can only summon the Triple Rashomon."

"Casting the Triple Rashomon once consumes nearly half of his total chakra."

"Furthermore, the gap in chakra required between the size and quantity of the Rashomon summoned by this technique is astronomical."

"The First Hokage was able to summon the complete Five-Fold Rashomon, which required the entire chakra capacity of a Kage-level powerhouse."

Kakashi looked shocked, "Doesn't that mean Yeyu's chakra levels are at least on par with a Kage?"

The Third Hokage looked at Yeyu, "Judging by his condition, his chakra reserves are definitely more than just that of a single Kage-level powerhouse."

"He is only twelve years old; it is truly terrifying."

Yeyu admired the Five-Fold Rashomon for a short while before letting it dissipate.

Despite consuming one-tenth of his total chakra, Yeyu felt no discomfort whatsoever.

After all, it was only one-tenth of his chakra; for a ninja, a consumption ratio of this magnitude was hardly a burden.

The Third Hokage stood beside Yeyu, "You were being modest earlier. You claimed you could only summon the Triple Rashomon, yet you summoned the Five-Fold Rashomon straight away."

"Your chakra reserves are also at an unbelievable level."

Although the Third Hokage did not know exactly how much chakra Yeyu possessed, he knew that anyone capable of unleashing the complete Five-Fold Rashomon while remaining this calm must be extraordinary.

Yeyu's chakra reserves were at least three times his own.

To have three times his chakra at the age of twelve—the Third Hokage no longer knew what to say.

"Even the First Hokage did not possess such vast chakra reserves at your age."

At twelve years old, the First Hokage's strength was indeed not particularly high, certainly not at the level of a jonin.

The strength of Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage did not start out immense from childhood.

Rather, their growth rate accelerated as they matured.

Madara Uchiha did not even awaken his One-Tomoe Sharingan until he was fifteen.

Yet, Itachi Uchiha awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan at only thirteen.

Obito Uchiha also awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of thirteen.

Awakening eyes earlier does not necessarily mean one is stronger.

It only proves that one suffered extreme agony prematurely.

Yeyu's body was truly unreasonable.

If the Third Hokage knew that his chakra was not three times his own, but fifteen times, he would have no idea what expression to make.

However, Yeyu primarily utilized the power of Akainu, which relied mostly on physical stamina.

He used chakra quite sparingly.

Up to this point, Yeyu had only mastered the Three Body Technique and the Five-Fold Rashomon.
