Rasengan and Flying Thunder God

Obito Uchiha and Minato Namikaze did not sleep all night.

Throughout the night, Obito constantly tried to draw upon the Chakra within his body, following the techniques Minato had taught him to form a Rasengan.

Minato stood to the side, carefully observing Obito's every movement and offering guidance and corrections from time to time to ensure that Obito mastered the right method without taking any detours.

The first rays of morning sunlight fell on Obito Uchiha's face.

At that moment, all of Obito Uchiha's attention was focused on his palm.

After countless failures and attempts, at last, just before dawn broke, the Ninjutsu was complete!

A faint pale-blue glow gradually appeared in Obito's palm. It grew brighter and brighter, slowly gathering into a small swirling sphere—that was the Rasengan!

"I did it!"

Excitement filled Obito's face, and unconcealable delight gleamed in his eyes.

At the same time, Minato, who had remained by his side and taught him so patiently, revealed a gratified smile, though he could not hide the exhaustion on his face.

After all, he too had stayed awake the entire night, wholeheartedly guiding Obito in practicing the Rasengan.

Still, seeing Obito achieve such outstanding results in the end made him, as his teacher, extremely happy.

Obito had not let Minato down. Through his own effort and persistence, he had spent an entire night and finally succeeded in forming the Rasengan!

"Now then, Obito, there is one more Ninjutsu. I'm not sure whether you have the talent to learn it, but I want you to give it a try."

Minato Namikaze slowly took out a scroll.

After Obito Uchiha accepted it, the excitement on his face grew even stronger!

Because the Ninjutsu scroll Minato had given him was actually the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Obito was overwhelmed by the favor!

It was clear that Minato truly regarded him as a disciple to inherit his legacy!

Very few people in the story knew the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Excluding the Fourth Hokage Guard Platoon, only the Second Hokage, Minato, and Boruto knew it.

Aside from how difficult it was to obtain this Ninjutsu, there was also the matter of talent for learning it.

"Obito, I'm not sure whether you have talent for space, but I want to try."

Minato Namikaze looked at Obito as he spoke.

Obito Uchiha nodded. He believed that he had talent for space.

It was simple: in the original story, his Mangekyo Sharingan had space-based abilities, so he most likely possessed talent for space as well!

"Sensei, I'll go back and study it."

Obito said.

Minato could not help yawning and nodded. "Do your best, Obito. Your Jonin exam will take place in one week."

"Lord Third will personally test you then!"

When he heard that Hiruzen Sarutobi would personally serve as his examiner, Obito Uchiha froze slightly.

It seemed that Konoha's higher-ups were paying him special attention...

"Yes!"

Obito Uchiha nodded.

After Minato left, Obito hurried home and caught up on some sleep.

After waking up, he eagerly began studying the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Konoha's higher-ups stopped assigning Obito missions, allowing him to prepare wholeheartedly for the Jonin exam.

Obito Uchiha used this time to rapidly learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Hard work did not betray him. Obito Uchiha truly had talent in this area.

After Minato learned of it, he immediately compiled his own experience training in the Flying Thunder God Technique into a book and sent it to Obito Uchiha.

After obtaining Minato's Flying Thunder God experience, Obito Uchiha took to it like a fish to water.

Within one week, he successfully completed his first teleportation!

It was only from the front door of his home to his bedroom.

Although Obito Uchiha's Flying Thunder God had a one-second delay, as long as he kept practicing, he would surely be able to reach Minato's level someday.

Just as Obito was actively preparing for the Jonin exam, Minato took on two more disciples.

One was Rin Nohara, while the other was Kakashi Hatake.

Rin Nohara was a Genin, while Kakashi was a Chunin.

Obito Uchiha was forcibly dragged out of his home to take a group photo of Minato's Team.

Jonin Exam Venue

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and a group of ANBU had already arrived.

Standing before them was the candidate for this Jonin exam, Obito Uchiha!

"Orochimaru, I never expected you to come watch as well."

Jiraiya casually draped an arm over Orochimaru's shoulder.

Orochimaru calmly pushed Jiraiya away. "Jiraiya, I'm merely curious how an Uchiha Clan member managed to come this far without relying on the Sharingan."

Orochimaru had not wanted to come, but when he heard that Obito Uchiha was about to be promoted to Jonin without even awakening his Sharingan, he became somewhat curious.

Orochimaru believed that most of the Uchiha Clan's combat strength relied on their ocular Kekkei Genkai.

Without their eyes, the Uchiha Clan's strength would be reduced by at least half.

Yet Obito Uchiha had come this far without relying on his eyes, which greatly interested Orochimaru.

Hiruzen Sarutobi puffed on his pipe as he looked over Obito's mission record.

"Twenty A-rank missions and three S-rank missions. Truly excellent..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi praised him.

"Hahaha, old man, why don't you look at whose disciple taught him?"

Jiraiya laughed as he spoke into Hiruzen Sarutobi's ear.

"Lord Hokage, I am ready."

Obito Uchiha said.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a kindly smile.

"There is no need to be so formal. By the rules of our lineage, Obito, you should call me grandmaster."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Obito with a kindly expression, radiating goodwill.

Obito Uchiha smiled faintly and nodded.

He knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was trying to draw closer to him. If he really addressed him that way, it would be a little too...

Obito still understood the principle of using titles at work.

"The exam begins!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi set down his pipe and announced.

At the same time, three ANBU instantly appeared around Obito.

Obito's gaze sharpened as he immediately prepared for battle!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the same time, the three ANBU attacked together!

The first round was a simple test of Obito's taijutsu ability.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Facing the siege of several ANBU, Obito remained completely calm. He nimbly weaved through their attacks, the kunai in his hand striking again and again, leaving the three ANBU struggling to keep up.

Even without the Sharingan, Obito Uchiha was still extremely fast, and his reactions were remarkably quick.

A look of amazement flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes. Even without relying on the Sharingan, his taijutsu was still exceptional.

Orochimaru silently observed from the side and could not help licking his lips. The more he watched, the more interesting Obito seemed to him.

Without relying on the Sharingan, he still possessed such outstanding strength. This child truly could not be underestimated.

After the brief taijutsu test, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction.

The next round was the Ninjutsu test.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Water Release: Water Burst Flow!"

"Fire Release: Fire Flame Technique!"

The three ANBU released Ninjutsu from different directions to attack Obito.

Obito Uchiha rapidly formed hand seals.

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

The Earth Release blocked the Fire Release.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"

The Vacuum Sphere shattered the Great Breakthrough.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique!"

The Fire Release met the Water Release head-on, instantly evaporating it!

After that exchange, the corner of Obito Uchiha's clothes was slightly dirty.
