Su Yu casually raised his hand. Then, just as Jiraiya had done earlier, chakra began gathering in his palm, flowing chaotically and compressing continuously until a familiar blue-white sphere took shape.
Su Yu formed the sphere as casually and effortlessly as picking a wildflower by the roadside, but Jiraiya, who watched from beside him, froze.
He rubbed his eyes hard, but the sphere was still glowing in Su Yu's hand. This... how was this possible?!
Naruto, meanwhile, exclaimed excitedly, "Oh-Su Yu, you know this move too!"
Then he turned to Jiraiya and said, "Hey, Pervy Sage, you weren't being honest! Didn't you say that apart from my dad, you were the only person in the Shinobi World who knew this Ninjutsu?"
Jiraiya had no attention to spare for Naruto now. He stared at Su Yu for a moment before speaking.
"Could you... have some connection to Minato?"
What he had told Naruto earlier had certainly not been a lie. Inspired by the Tailed Beast Bomb, Minato had created the Rasengan, a unique Ninjutsu requiring no hand signs. Later, Minato had taught it to his teacher, Jiraiya, and after Minato's death, Jiraiya had indeed been the only person in the Shinobi World who could use it.
And so far, he himself had never taught anyone how to use the Rasengan, nor had he recorded its training method in any form. So Su Yu could only have learned the Rasengan because of Minato!
At Jiraiya's question, Su Yu shook his head and said:
"There's no need to guess. I have no connection to anyone. My identity in the Shinobi World is Naruto's friend, nothing more!"
Jiraiya persisted. "Then how do you explain that Rasengan?"
Su Yu said, "As long as I want to, I can use any Ninjutsu! Like this!"
