The Light Wheel Popsicle Inspires Jiraiya's Double Style Maru!

Namikaze Minato, whose shoulder was being held by Jiraiya, tilted his head and cast a puzzled look at him.

Then, he saw Jiraiya offer a mysterious smile.

"Heh heh, Minato, your information is way behind. I'm already Brother Chen's big brother now!"

"So, from now on, you have to call him Uncle-Master, understand?"

As soon as these words left his mouth, the jaws of both Namikaze Minato and Hatake Kakashi hit the floor!

If that's the case, doesn't this Uchiha Chen have two generations of seniority on me? But he clearly looks about the same age as me!

This thought involuntarily surfaced in Hatake Kakashi's mind, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't shake it off.

"Teacher, you..."

Namikaze Minato looked at Jiraiya in disbelief, finally able to do nothing but offer a helpless, bitter smile; he didn't even know what to say.

Although he knew his teacher was usually unconventional, he never expected him to be this outrageous!

Seeing this, Uchiha Chen could only rub his nose in embarrassment. It really wasn't his intention to take advantage of anyone!

"Um, Big Brother, there's really no need for this..."

"No! Order of seniority must be respected; you must call him Uncle-Master!"

Unexpectedly, Jiraiya was actually quite stubborn about it.

"Ahem, Uncle-Master Chen..."

Though he felt very helpless, Namikaze Minato still chose to follow Jiraiya's wishes.

"Wait, I've got a great idea!"

Suddenly, Uchiha Chen's eyes lit up. He used a Body Flicker technique to appear beside Namikaze Minato, threw an arm around his shoulder, and comforted him, "Actually, 'Uncle-Master' is just a title. Don't take it too seriously. From now on, let's just stick to our own ways—you call me Uncle-Master, and I'll call you Brother Minato!"

"Good idea!"

Namikaze Minato looked at Uchiha Chen, his eyes full of astonishment, and then silently gave him a thumbs-up.

This train of thought was truly unique; no wonder he and the teacher got along so well!

"Teacher, Uncle-Master, time is tight, so Kakashi and I will head out first. See you next time!"

"Go on, stay safe!"

Jiraiya nodded solemnly; at this moment, he finally looked like a proper teacher.

"Brother Minato, have a safe trip. See you next time!"

Uchiha Chen also waved his hand seriously to see them off.

Watching Namikaze Minato and the others about to walk away, Jiraiya seemed to suddenly remember something. He hurriedly chased after them and whispered a few words into Namikaze Minato's ear. It was unclear what was said, but after seeing Namikaze Minato nod, Jiraiya smiled happily, bid them farewell, and returned to Uchiha Chen's side.

"Big Brother, shall we set off now too?"

Uchiha Chen looked at Jiraiya and asked.

This mission would be his first one in the true sense, and he actually felt a little bit of anticipation.

"Heh heh, what's the rush? I'll take you to a good place first."

To his surprise, Jiraiya just chuckled and said nonchalantly.

"Huh?"

A giant question mark appeared over Uchiha Chen's head.

"Huh what? Just follow me!"

After saying that, Jiraiya pushed off with his toes and sped away in a certain direction.

Uchiha Chen smiled helplessly and followed after him.

The two sped through the forest for over ten minutes until they stopped at a valley.

Uchiha Chen looked around and discovered that, besides the dense, towering trees, there were many large, protruding rocks.

He then noticed that the ground and the surfaces of these large rocks were covered in spiral-shaped, pitted holes of varying sizes.

"Brother Chen, I'm going to show you something good."

Jiraiya winked at Uchiha Chen with a mysterious smile.

"What good thing?"

Seeing the surrounding environment and Jiraiya's current demeanor, Uchiha Chen already had a vague guess in his heart.

"Heh heh, you'd better watch closely!"

Jiraiya extended his right hand and slowly raised it. Chakra began to converge in his palm, flowing in different directions, compressing until, shortly after, it formed a high-speed, high-density sphere of chakra.

"Rasengan!!"

Seeing this, Uchiha Chen gasped out loud. He was far too familiar with this thing; this orb could be said to run through the entire Naruto series—even in the later Boruto era, one still couldn't do without it!

After all, there was no enemy that couldn't be solved with a Rasengan; if there was, then you just had to make a bigger one...

"Oh? I didn't expect you to know the name of this ninjutsu."

Jiraiya looked at Uchiha Chen, somewhat surprised.

"Cough, cough. I just heard a senior in my clan mention it before. They said Namikaze Minato spent three years creating it, so it left a deep impression on me. I just made the connection, but I didn't expect it to actually be the Rasengan."

Uchiha Chen scratched his head "naively" and explained.

"Hmm, that is roughly the truth."

Jiraiya nodded and didn't ask any further questions. After a while, he suddenly thought of something, smiled, and spoke slowly, "However, this Rasengan actually has another name. Do you know it?"

"Another name? Hasn't the Rasengan always been called the Rasengan?"

Uchiha Chen scanned the information in his mind regarding the Rasengan, but found nothing. This time, he had truly reached the limits of his knowledge!

"Hehe, you wouldn't know this! At first, the Rasengan was called the 'Halo Popsicle-Inspired Whirl-Hair Jiraiya Dual-Style Sphere'!!!"

Jiraiya chuckled, let out a loud shout, and leaped into the air, slamming the Rasengan in his hand into a boulder taller than a person nearby.

With a thunderous boom, the massive rock was shattered into pieces by the immense power of the Rasengan!

Uchiha Chen: ...

'Halo Popsicle-Inspired Whirl-Hair Jiraiya Dual-Style Sphere'—this thick, cringey, long-winded name was undoubtedly chosen by Namikaze Minato.

And besides, you could have just said it; what was the point of smashing that boulder?!

"Wow, as expected of the legendary Rasengan, the power is truly extraordinary!"

"And just hearing the name, I can tell that when Namikaze Minato created this ninjutsu, you must have played a key role, Jiraiya!"

Complaints aside, Uchiha Chen knew exactly how to react, so he showered Jiraiya with praise.

Hehe, this kid is sharp. No wonder I, Jiraiya, appreciate him so much.

"Hehe, not at all, not at all. These are just small matters, not worth mentioning."

Jiraiya waved his hand with a smile, but the grin spreading across his face betrayed him.

After the laughter died down, Jiraiya's expression gradually turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Little Brother Chen, with your intelligence, you should have already guessed why I brought you here. You guessed right; today, I am going to teach you the Rasengan!"

"Ah?!"

Although he had guessed it earlier, when he actually heard Jiraiya say it, Uchiha Chen still couldn't help but tremble inside.
