Teaching Ninjutsu

"Burp! I'm so full!" After finishing his meal, Ruri leaned back in his chair, let out a burp, and spoke.

Momokusa Kiyokawa put down her chopsticks and watched Ruri lean back in his chair after eating his fill. Covering her mouth, she laughed. "Ruri, just look at you!"

Ruri realized he had been a little unseemly in front of Harukawa, so he sat up with an awkward smile.

"Harukawa, have you had enough to eat?" Ruri Hyuga asked awkwardly.

Momokusa Harukawa nodded. "Yes, I'm full! This ramen is really delicious! Next time, I have to bring Hana here to try it!"

Ruri nodded, then called out to Teuchi, "Teuchi! The bill, please!"

After paying, Ruri and Momokusa Harukawa left Ichiraku Ramen. There was no school that day, so they headed toward the little hill where Ruri used to train.

"Ruri, where are you taking me?" Momokusa Harukawa asked, looking at him.

Ruri turned to look at Momokusa Harukawa and smiled. "I'm taking you to my training spot. Once we get there, I'll start teaching you ninjutsu!"

With that, Momokusa Harukawa smiled and followed Ruri onward.

After walking for several dozen minutes, they reached Ruri's training spot. The little hill was as peaceful as ever, and the Small River still flowed with a gentle murmur.

"All right, we're here! This is where I usually train! There's hardly anyone around. You can go days without seeing a soul, so it's a great place to train! The scenery is beautiful, too!"

Ruri looked around and found that nothing had changed. It was still just as peaceful. Then he spoke to Momokusa Kiyokawa.

"Yes, it really is peaceful here! So this is where you usually train!" With her hands behind her back, Momokusa Harukawa skipped around the area, then smiled at Ruri as she spoke.

"All right, let's start learning ninjutsu! Yesterday, you said your chakra nature was wind. As it happens, I know a Wind Release jutsu that I think would suit you very well!" Ruri led Momokusa Harukawa beneath a large tree as he spoke.

Momokusa Harukawa nodded, then looked at Ruri expectantly.

Ruri stood in front of Momokusa Harukawa and held out his right hand. In less than two seconds, a blue Rasengan appeared in his palm.

"Ruri, what's that? It looks really powerful!" Momokusa Harukawa looked astonished as she watched the blue Rasengan appear in his hand.

"Haha, this is a Wind Release jutsu-the Rasengan!"

"The principle behind it is actually very simple. You concentrate chakra in the center of your palm, then compress it into a small space! The powerful tearing force generated by its high-speed rotation is enough to destroy anything!"

"Once you form a chakra ball in your palm and hit your opponent with it, it not only damages their body on the surface, but also briefly disrupts their chakra!"

After speaking, Ruri relaxed his hand, and the blue Rasengan dissipated.

"Essentially, you gather chakra in your hand, keep it flowing in different directions, and compress it until it forms a dense, rotating ball of chakra!"

"What do you think, Harukawa? Do you want to learn this jutsu? Although it's meant for close combat, its destructive power is no weaker than those long-range jutsu!" Ruri asked Momokusa Harukawa with a smile.

Momokusa Harukawa looked eager, then nodded furiously.
