Spiral Water Dragon Roll, Ryusuke's True Strength

Spiral Water Dragon Roll!

The crashing wave was like a basin of water being flung out, trying to drench Ryusuke from head to toe.

However, just as the wave fell onto Ryusuke's raised palm and was about to swallow him whole,

the spreading water suddenly seemed to be drawn by a magnet, converging toward Ryusuke's palm.

A terrifying rotational force appeared out of nowhere, causing the gathered water to spin. In the blink of an eye, it formed a massive water tornado.

The moment the water tornado took shape, Ryusuke flung it out, sending it sweeping toward Yuhi Kurenai.

Though it was a water tornado, it resembled a gigantic spinning top, plowing a trench through the ground.

Its terrifying suction uprooted the surrounding flowers and grass, making Yuhi Kurenai's body tilt slightly forward.

Facing the oncoming water tornado, Yuhi Kurenai, who specialized only in genjutsu, had no means of resisting it. Just like before, she could only use the Body Flicker Technique to flee.

The imposing water tornado missed completely.

But when it entered the forest, it uprooted an entire row of trees and left the ground in ruins.

Aside from Yuhi Kurenai, Hinata and Aburame Shino, who were hiding in the trees, felt as if their worldview had been overturned.

Having never seen a tailed beast before, how could they possibly have seen a ninjutsu this powerful?

Even more terrifyingly, such a powerful ninjutsu was actually...

"Signless Water Release!"

Looking at Ryusuke, who had dispelled his Shadow Clone and appeared to be panting heavily, Yuhi Kurenai suddenly saw a familiar reflection in him.

That person was Kakashi Hatake.

Also at the age of twelve, Kakashi Hatake had developed the Rank A Lightning Release ninjutsu, Chidori.

And now, Ryusuke had developed a signless Water Release technique.

Yuhi Kurenai was certain that she had never seen, or even heard of, that Water Release technique before.

Yesterday, she had specifically gathered information on her three students.

She knew about Ryusuke's background and experiences.

This Water Release could not have been left to him by his parents.

As for someone else teaching it to him, that was even less likely.

If someone in the village knew such a Water Release technique, they would have become famous long ago.

That left only one possibility: Ryusuke had developed it himself.

Was this the world of geniuses?

Yuhi Kurenai thought to herself.

Fortunately, Ryusuke lacked combat experience. Otherwise, if she had been hit by that technique, she would definitely have been seriously injured.

Even getting grazed by it would probably have left her in a sorry state.

Thinking that such a genius was her student,

Yuhi Kurenai felt another surge of delight. The way she looked at Ryusuke was like she was examining a priceless treasure.

At the same time, Yuhi Kurenai swiftly began forming hand seals.

Powerful Yin Release Chakra invaded Ryusuke's mind.

Ryusuke, who had been "panting heavily," suddenly changed expression. Then, as if he had been tied up, his body went rigid and straight.

From Ryusuke's perspective, he really had been bound.

A tree appeared behind him out of thin air, and countless vines, like tentacles, tied him to it.

This technique was... Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death.

Yet Ryusuke smiled without the slightest panic. "Teacher, you've already lost."

"Hm?"

Yuhi Kurenai had used genjutsu to temporarily subdue Ryusuke and was about to test the others when she froze slightly.

Then, as if she had realized something, Yuhi Kurenai quickly lowered her head to look at her waist.

The three Bells hanging there had vanished at some point.

Yuhi Kurenai's expression shifted slightly. The earlier scenes automatically replayed in her mind, and she quickly guessed when the three Bells had disappeared.

With a helpless smile, Yuhi Kurenai released Ryusuke from the genjutsu and said, "No wonder you charged at me so openly. Was this your tactic?"

"That's right."

Ryusuke looked at Hinata and Aburame Shino as they emerged from the forest, then smiled confidently. "This Water Release technique of mine is a Signless Ninjutsu I developed myself. But I never believed I could defeat you, Teacher Kurenai, an elite jonin, with this technique alone."

"So my task was to hold Teacher Kurenai back and keep all your attention focused on me, allowing Shino to take the Bells."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aburame Shino took out three Bells and tossed two of them to Ryusuke and Hinata.

Aburame Shino's method of taking the Bells had been very simple: insects.

Yuhi Kurenai's attention had been completely focused on Ryusuke, and she had not used a Sensing Technique. She simply could not detect the insects approaching.

Clap, clap, clap...

Yuhi Kurenai applauded, praising them without reservation. "An excellent tactic. Teacher lost."

Whoosh—

Almost the instant Yuhi Kurenai finished speaking, blue light flickered from her body.

Then, a blue beam flew out from her body and landed in the open space nearby, forming a floating Blue Light Cluster.

Ryusuke froze briefly at the sight, then felt a surge of joy.

A drop!

Sure enough, as long as there was "victory," the game system had a certain chance of triggering an equipment drop.

Yuhi Kurenai had only verbally admitted defeat, yet a Blue Light Cluster had dropped. His luck was amazing this time!

A few seconds later, the Blue Light Cluster was automatically collected and flew toward Ryusuke.

Once it entered his body, Ryusuke did not immediately open his Space Backpack to inspect it. Instead, he first deactivated his Sharingan and blinked several times to check whether his colored contact lenses had shifted.

That's right—Ryusuke had already awakened his Sharingan.

Half a year ago, while practicing ninjutsu, Ryusuke had entered a state of extreme concentration.

When he came back to himself, he discovered that the world before his eyes had changed drastically. His dynamic vision was so astonishing that he could even catch and slow down the motion of a fly beating its wings.

At that moment, Ryusuke knew that his Sharingan had awakened.

And the moment it awakened, it was already a Two-Tomoe Sharingan.

He did not know whether it was because of his astonishing spiritual energy or Asura's Chakra.

The ninjutsu Ryusuke had secretly trained at home over the past year was... the Rasengan!

The Spiral Water Dragon Roll from earlier had been a combination technique of the Rasengan and the Great Waterfall Technique.

As one of Naruto's three signature moves, the Rasengan was the only Rank A Signless Ninjutsu in the original story whose principles and training stages had all been revealed.

So after transmigrating, before his memories could grow blurry, Ryusuke immediately wrote down the Rasengan's training method.

Before his cheat ability awakened, Ryusuke believed that this technique would probably be the strongest ninjutsu he could learn in his life.

As for the Rasenshuriken, the Rasengan's advanced form, and all those differently colored Rasengan variants, Ryusuke had not held out any hope.

After his cheat ability awakened and he obtained Asura's Chakra from Naruto, Ryusuke had even more reason to learn the Rasengan.

Just like the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, the Rasengan was perfectly suited for someone with a Sage Body.

A powerful ninjutsu that others could only use a few times could not only be used freely by Naruto, but he could also create a large number of Shadow Clones and use it together with them.

This combination was simply overwhelmingly oppressive against opponents of the same level.

So after fusing with Asura's Chakra, Ryusuke had secretly begun training the Rasengan.

Unfortunately, Ryusuke's talent was quite ordinary, and the first stage of the Rasengan had already stumped him.

It was not until he obtained something that his talent seemed to become completely overpowered.

That thing was—Chakra Control, which had dropped from Sakura!
