Namikaze Minato's house.
Naruto's cheers rang out early in the morning.
Uzumaki Kushina emerged from the kitchen carrying a spatula. Seeing Naruto barefoot, her brows furrowed and her red hair flew wildly. "Naruto...!"
Naruto shrank back slightly, but then raised his head proudly and said, "Mom, Dad, I've refined Chakra!"
Huh?
Uzumaki Kushina's anger was instantly extinguished, and Namikaze Minato, who was sitting on the sofa studying bloodline theory, immediately stopped, stood up, and looked at his son.
" Naruto, well done!"
Namikaze Minato praised him with a broad smile, for he had indeed sensed the Chakra within his son Naruto, though not much.
Receiving the praise made Naruto even more proud, like a rooster, only lacking a tail.
Uzumaki Kushina reached out and tapped her son's forehead, laughing, "As expected of my son, Uzumaki Kushina, you have quite the talent!"
Naruto snorted, "Of course! I'm going to be the strongest Ninja World!"
Uzumaki Kushina frowned, raised the ladle, and roared, "Then hurry up and go back and put your clothes and shoes on!"
The earth shook violently.
Naruto scrambled back to his room.
Namikaze Minato stood to the side, grinning sheepishly.
He never intervened when his wife disciplined their son.
Of course, it's not that Namikaze Minato completely ignored his son.
After Uzumaki Kushina went back to the kitchen, Namikaze Minato immediately went to his son's room. He saw that Naruto was already dressed and putting on his shoes, so he went over and helped Naruto tidy up his somewhat messy clothes.
Naruto pouted and complained, "Dad, you didn't help me at all."
Namikaze Minato patted Naruto's hair and smiled gently, "Because Mom wasn't wrong just now, it was Naruto was wrong, right?"
"It's winter now, and although it's warm inside, you might still catch a cold if you go barefoot."
"While extracting Chakra is something to be happy about, Mom is more concerned about Naruto's health!"
Naruto lowered his head and said, "I was wrong. I'll go apologize to Mom."
Namikaze Minato encouraged him, saying, "Very good, Naruto, you've become someone who dares to take responsibility for your actions!"
"Of course!"
Naruto raised his chin, then dashed to the kitchen doorway. Watching the busy Uzumaki Kushina, smelling the delicious aroma, he swallowed hard and said, "Mom, I was wrong just now!"
Uzumaki Kushina turned around upon hearing the voice, a smile spreading across her face, "It's good that you know you were wrong. Don't do it again next time!"
Naruto nodded emphatically. "Yes, I won't let Mom worry."
"By the way, what delicious food did you make today?"
Uzumaki Kushina smiled and said, "It's Fresh Milk Pancake!"
"Go wash up quickly, we'll be eating soon!"
Naruto swallowed hard and quickly turned to wash up.
A happy day starts with breakfast.
Uzumaki Kushina was very happy to see her son wolfing down his food.
Namikaze Minato ate slowly and methodically, but he was actually quite fast, finishing before his son Naruto.
After finishing his hot milk, Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "I'm done. Time to get back to work!"
"Etc!"
Naruto quickly swallowed the food in his mouth. "Dad, I've mastered Chakra now, can you teach me Ninjutsu?"
Naruto stared at his father with wide, clear eyes, full of anticipation.
Namikaze Minato, however, looked towards Uzumaki Kushina.
Uzumaki Kushina reached out and wiped her son's mouth. "Teaching him Ninjutsu is no problem at all."
"If Naruto completes the three tasks Mom gave you, then Mom will have Dad teach you Ninjutsu."
" Naruto, you know that ninjas are meant to complete missions."
"Mom can even ask your Uncle Genichi to teach you Ninjutsu!"
Naruto's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Although Dad is also very capable, Uncle Genichi is even more capable.
Naruto nodded repeatedly, "No problem!"
"Mom, please tell me, what's the mission?"
Naruto said impatiently.
Uzumaki Kushina pointed to the unfinished breakfast on the table in front of Naruto: "Finish your breakfast first."
"Also, Dad has to go to work."
Naruto quickly waved to Namikaze Minato: "Goodbye, Dad!"
Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "Goodbye, Naruto. Once you complete the mission your mother gave you, your father will teach you a Ninjutsu!"
"Uh-huh!"
Naruto, brimming with confidence, declared, "I will definitely accomplish this!"
After saying that, he buried his head and continued eating.
Uzumaki Kushina rose to see her husband out, Namikaze Minato asked, "What kind of mission are you planning to issue?"
"If it's too difficult, Naruto probably won't be able to last long."
Namikaze Minato knew his son's personality all too well.
Lively, active, playful, and impatient.
Of course, most of these are just common habits of children.
Children like Uchiha Itachi, who are self-disciplined and precocious, are a very small minority.
Uzumaki Kushina smiled and said, "I've already thought of that. I'll take Naruto to find Karura later. Gaara is a quiet and sensible kid. Let Naruto train with him on Water Walking, tree climbing, and Hand Seals. With a comparison, Naruto can last longer."
Namikaze Minato immediately gave a thumbs up.
After Namikaze Minato left, Uzumaki Kushina finished eating breakfast with her son, then tidied up the house before heading out.
"Mom, where are we going?"
Naruto asked curiously, his eyes already darting around as he saw children playing together.
Uzumaki Kushina gently tapped her son's head to bring him back to his senses before saying, "How about we go find Gaara first, and then train together?"
Gaara?
Naruto's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.
The two arrived at Gaara's house and knocked on the door. Karura opened the door, somewhat surprised. " Kushina!"
"Aunt Karura!"
Naruto tilted his head back to greet him.
" Naruto, Naruto!"
Karura down and gently stroked Naruto's hair, then quickly led the two into the house.
"We're here so Naruto and Gaara can train together. Hopefully that won't be too much of a disturbance?"
Uzumaki Kushina said casually.
Karura replied, "No problem, Gaara needs friends too!"
As she spoke, Uzumaki Kushina served up the Fresh Milk Pancake she had made that morning.
At that moment, Gaara came out of his room, first respectfully greeting Uzumaki Kushina, and then greeting Naruto was running towards him. "Good morning, Naruto!"
"Good morning."
Naruto couldn't wait to show off. " Gaara, I've already refined Chakra!"
Gaara was a little surprised and said seriously, "Impressive, you hadn't even refined it yesterday!"
Naruto chuckled and then said, " Gaara, let's train together!"
"My mother told me that if I complete three training missions, she will teach me Ninjutsu."
"By the way, have you learned any Ninjutsu?"
Gaara shook his head. "Not yet, because I haven't mastered Chakra control well enough, and I also need to practice Hand Seals."
Uzumaki Kushina laughed and said, "That's perfect, you can all come together."
Karura; she also hoped her son could have friends to play with so he wouldn't become withdrawn.
Especially in this foreign land.
So Karura took Gaara and went out with Uzumaki Kushina and her son, finding a grove of trees by the river as their training ground.
" Naruto, this is the first task your mother wants to give you..."
Uzumaki Kushina pointed to the large tree in front of her and said, "Climb the tree!"
Naruto grinned and said, "Mom, climbing trees is easy, I already know how."
Uzumaki Kushina held up a finger and shook it. "It's not the kind of tree climbing you're thinking of!"
"You should use Chakra like Mom does."
As she spoke, Uzumaki Kushina personally demonstrated, gathering Chakra in the soles of her feet, stepping onto the tree trunk, her entire body perpendicular to the trunk, and walking upwards step by step.
"Sharp!"
Naruto's eyes lit up.
For him, flying was a common thing, but climbing a tree was something he had never seen before, so he found it very novel.
Uzumaki Kushina leaped down from the tree and began explaining the key points of tree climbing to Naruto.
It's essentially about manipulating Chakra.
Furthermore, Uzumaki Kushina knew that although her son was quite clever, he was too young to understand much and his attention span was not long enough.
Therefore, it is not explained all at once, but rather in several steps.
After explaining the first step, Uzumaki Kushina let Naruto try it out.
Following Uzumaki Kushina's instructions Naruto stepped onto the tree trunk and stuck to it, then cheered, "I did it!"
Thump!
With the second kick, Naruto fell flat on his face.
But he immediately got up and roared defiantly, "Hmph, I can definitely do it!"
Uzumaki Kushina shouted "Go for it!" from the sidelines.
Karura and Gaara watched Naruto train for a while before starting their own training.
Gaara's progress far surpasses Naruto's; he can now climb trees steadily, step by step.
Naruto was very envious after seeing this, and he gritted his teeth and vowed to work hard to learn it, because if he couldn't learn it, he wouldn't be able to play with Gaara anymore.
So, my original desire to play, rest, and be lazy vanished instantly.
Uzumaki Kushina was secretly overjoyed. "It really worked!"
So she cheered even harder from the sidelines, and every time Naruto fell from the tree, she caught him precisely and offered him comfort and encouragement.
It provides a lot of emotional value.
This feeling also infected Karura and Gaara, who were training nearby, and their training no longer seemed like a boring thing.
And there is no doubt that Naruto is not stupid.
The reason Naruto was a loser in the original timeline was because he didn't study at school at all; he just wanted to play and attract other people's attention, and no one disciplined him.
However, how could someone who can develop the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken based on the Rasengan possibly lack talent?
With Uzumaki Kushina's patient guidance, he's making rapid progress, catching up to Gaara's level in just one morning.
Of course, the basics are relatively easy to catch up on at the beginning.
The test of talent, however, comes later.
For example, the training of nature transformation, the application of Ninjutsu, the development of techniques, the development of Kekkei Genkai, and so on.
In the underground Experimental Base, Kabuto asked excitedly, " Genichi, why do you think the Rinnegan and the Mangekyō Sharingan are unrelated?"
"There doesn't seem to be any evidence to prove this at the moment!"
Since arriving here, Dou has discovered a new world.
Moreover, many of the techniques here are inherited from Orochimaru's.
Kabuto wasn't surprised by this, since he knew that Shita Genichi and Orochimaru had previously collaborated, and many of the technical routes were decided by the two of them.
However, much of the research here is different from Orochimaru's; it's very different.
It's so clean.
What shocked him most was the astonishing research data on various Kekkei Genkai and secret techniques.
Hydrification Secret Technique, Ice Release, Dark Release, Magnet Release... and so on.
Therefore, since arriving in Konoha and deciding to follow Shita Genichi, he has not left the Experimental Base and has been working almost non-stop.
In response to Kabuto's question, Shita Genichi, "This conclusion is based solely on the nature of Chakra and Kekkei Genkai."
"Yes, but in terms of the nature of the change, the Rinnegan and the Sharingan are not the same."
"Different Chakra Nature Transformation can also be described as different Kekkei Genkai."
Kabuto replied, "From the perspective of Dōjutsu, each Mangekyō Sharingan seems to be different, right?"
Shita Genichi and asked, "Kabuto, do you know what's so special about the Sharingan and Rinnegan?"
After pondering for a moment, Dou asked, "Is it a change between the two properties of Yin and Yang?"
Shita Genichi nodded slightly. " Chakra is refined from the combination of physical and mental power. One is Yang Release and the other is Yin Release. This is the essence of Chakra."
"You can understand it as Yin and Yang being the foundation of all Ninjutsu."
"Therefore, the Mangekyō Sharingan's Dōjutsu are diverse; they can be Fire Release, space-time techniques, Genjutsu, and so on."
"Yin and Yang can create everything!"
" The Rinnegan is also Kekkei Genkai based on Yin and Yang, but compared to the Sharingan's Yin Release bias, the Rinnegan requires equally powerful Yin Release and Yang Release."
Dou suddenly realized, "I see."
"So, according to what you said, Genichi, Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage just happened to possess powerful Yin Release and Yang Release respectively. When they were combined, the Rinnegan, a new Kekkei Genkai, was unexpectedly born."
Shita Genichi, "That's how it can be said for now."
Kabuto followed Shita Genichi, looking at the tall figure ahead, and thought to himself, "Unlike Lord Orochimaru, Genichi focuses more on the study of Chakra itself, rather than the human body, or various techniques..."
Of course, this doesn't mean Orochimaru didn't study the nature of Chakra.
As one delves deeper into the study of techniques, the essence of Chakra naturally comes into play.
However, Kabuto sensed that Shita Genichi's goal was more direct and clearer.
The study of any technique, including Kekkei Genkai and secret techniques, begins with the nature of Chakra.
Upon arriving at the archives, Dou quickly retrieved the documents he had compiled and placed them on the table.
Shita Genichi and first glanced at the scenery.
These compiled materials contain information about the Living Corpse Reincarnation and about Cursed Seal.
Although neither is complete, Orochimaru's Experimental Base itself did not possess complete Ninjutsu scrolls for either of them.
These are all based on Kabuto's own experience assisting Orochimaru's research.
It is not comprehensive, and may not even be entirely correct.
Kabuto's talent is undeniable, and although he is only 15 years old, he has actually been following Orochimaru for six or seven years.
He personally participated in research on techniques such as the Living Corpse Reincarnation, Cursed Seal, and Impure World Reincarnation.
Therefore, Shita Genichi still trusted Kabuto's knowledge.
Of course, he didn't want to master the Living Corpse Reincarnation; he simply needed the Chakra secrets hidden within the technique.
The same applies to Cursed Seal.
For Shita Genichi, these were all sources of nourishment.
Orochimaru's Cursed Seal, in particular, was a very good reference for him.
After all, Shita Genichi currently needs to develop Senjutsu Cursed Seal for Tsunade and the others.
Of course, he wouldn't develop the cursed Orochimaru like Cursed Seal.
Too rough!
Whether the Cursed Seal can be successfully implanted depends on the recipient; it is essentially a selection process to determine whether the recipient's physique is suitable for Senjutsu and Sage Transformation.
The technical skill involved in Senjutsu is relatively low, at most as high as two or three stories.
Of course, for Orochimaru, the Cursed Seal also served as a resurrection point, and similar to the Otsutsuki Clan.
What Shita Genichi wanted was to help Tsunade and the others sense and absorb Natural Energy Natural Energy, gradually forming the Sage Transformation Cursed Seal.
After browsing through the information, Shita Genichi had a general framework in mind, and the information was indeed quite useful to him.
"Kabuto, it seems you've learned quite a bit from Orochimaru- senpai."
Shita Genichi.
Dou quickly replied, "I've only learned a little bit; I hope it will be useful to Lord Genichi."
"Does Master Genichi also wish to develop Senjutsu Cursed Seal?"
Shita Genichi nodded. "More or less."
"But unlike Orochimaru's, hmm, this Cursed Seal's use of Senjutsu is far too simplistic."
"Oh, right..."
Looking up at Dou, Shita Genichi the tree, "You should have good talent in immortal Senjutsu. If you want to cultivate, you can ask my clone for guidance."
Upon hearing this, Dou was overjoyed. "Thank you very much, Lord Genichi."
Shita Genichi waved his hand. "The stronger your abilities, the more advantageous it is for me."
"Hmm, I have another suggestion: try cultivating your Kekkei Genkai more often; it will benefit you more in the future."
"There's a lot of information about Kekkei Genkai in the archives; feel free to browse through it."
"If you become Jonin, you can also apply to the village for Kekkei Genkai Scroll."
Kabuto nodded quickly. "Yes, Genichi, I will do my best!"
His loyalty skyrocketed!
"Go do your own thing!"
After Kabuto left, Shita Genichi looked at another scroll belonging to the Living Corpse Reincarnation.
The most detailed part of this scroll concerns Human Body Modification, followed by cell transplantation and gene fusion.
The core content concerns the transformation of physical energy and reincarnation, but it contains very little information and is severely incomplete.
Furthermore, a portion of it concerns the soul and consciousness.
" Snake Auntie truly deserves to be called the best in this field!"
Shita Genichi inwardly, his expression solemn as he looked at the section about the soul within the scroll.
" Yin Release creates physical form, spiritual consciousness determines the physical form, genes are engraved at the core of cells, but originate from the soul..."
"The soul is a synthesis of will, cognition, memory, emotion, and the physical body... Every soul possesses genes identical to those of the body and is the source of life."
Shita Genichi.
