The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight was filtered by the sparse clouds, giving Training Ground No. 44 a hazy silver edge.
Minato Namikaze was breathing heavily, and his golden hair was soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to his forehead. He spread his right hand again, trying to tame the violent Chakra into an ideal form.
"Bang!"
Chakra The ball exploded out of control in his palm again, and the crazy air flow picked up the fallen leaves on the ground and floated them away feebly.
Failed again.
Minato Namikaze looked at his hand that was scratched again, and for the first time in his always gentle blue eyes, a deep sense of frustration was revealed.
At this moment, brisk and familiar footsteps came from behind.
"Brother Minato!"
Senju Chen's voice was full of the unique clarity and vitality of a young man. He trotted out from the shadows of the forest with a bright and dazzling smile on his face, as if he was carrying sunshine all over him.
"I'm here to bring you a late-night snack. It's rice balls made by Sister Kushina!" He raised the food box in his hand like a treasure.
Seeing him, most of the annoyance in Minato Namikaze's heart was instantly dispelled. He smiled helplessly and rubbed his sore wrist, "Little Chen, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
"Because I can't sleep!" Senju Chen approached him, his dark eyes sparkling, full of uncontrollable excitement, "Brother Minato, I have been trying the principle you taught me these past few days, and then... then I seemed to have learned it!"
"Huh?" Minato Namikaze was startled when he heard this, and then laughed.
He took it for granted that this was a childish joke and exaggeration. After all, he knew the difficulty of this technique best. Let alone three days, it would be three months. If he could understand the theory, he would be considered a top genius.
He stretched out his hand gently, trying to rub Senju Chen's hair as usual to show encouragement.
"Little Chen is very talented, but this technique is not that simple, so don't be impatient..."
Before he finished speaking, his palm stopped in mid-air.
Because Senju Chen had already taken a step back and spread out his right hand in a decent manner, looking attentive.
"Brother Minato, just watch."
Minato Namikaze The smile on his face has not yet dissipated, but there is a bit of curiosity in his eyes.
The next second, the smile on his face solidified.
I saw a ball of blue Chakra gathering in the small palm of Senju Chen, without any lag or reluctance. The Chakra first rotated smoothly, and then, the second and third levels of violent airflow in different directions appeared inside!
Spin! Power!
Minato Namikaze's heart skipped a beat. Senju Chen completed these two steps more smoothly than himself!
The third most critical step... sustain!
In Minato Namikaze's suddenly contracted pupils, the violent energy was forcibly compressed inward by an invisible force, and finally formed a flawless, high-speed rotating glazed sphere!
It is stable, solid, and makes a "buzzing" sound, as if it is imprisoning a miniature typhoon. Not even a fraction of it Chakra escapes, and the power is perfectly locked in it.
This... this...
Minato Namikaze was completely stunned.
The final form that he had been unable to achieve even after forgetting sleep and eating for the past few days and trying his best was now lying peacefully in the hands of an eight-year-old child.
[Ding! The target person Minato Namikaze has been detected to have severe mood swings and meets the conditions for stealing.]

Senju Chen glanced at the system panel out of the corner of his eye, feeling completely calm.
Not what you want.
Then, add some more ingredients.
He canceled Rasengan on his right hand, and then... raised his left hand.
"Brother Minato, look."
Before he finished speaking, the same scene happened again.
Convergence, rotation, compression...
In just two seconds, another perfect Rasengan, identical to the one on his right hand, appeared in the palm of his left hand!
Minato Namikaze felt that his brain was shut down, went blank, and even thinking stopped. The talent he was proud of was shattered to pieces in front of this miraculous scene.

[C: Advanced Transformation Technique]
Hmm? Flying Thunder God?
No, that's not it.
Senju Chen's brows furrowed slightly.
He looked at the stunned Minato Namikaze, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Buzz", holding two Rasengan's in front of him, as if he was showing off his new toy.
"Brother Minato, look, is this more powerful?"
Double the "buzzing" sound, double the visual impact, completely penetrated Minato Namikaze's last psychological defense line.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He just stared at the two balls containing terrifying power, his eyes full of confusion and disbelief.
An eight-year-old child... using both hands at the same time... self-developed MUJI Ninjutsu...
How long have you been studying for? When did you tell the other party the principle? Yesterday? The day before yesterday?
What kind of monster is this kid? I am reporting with my real name Minato Namikaze. Someone is cheating here!!!
[Ding! The target person Minato Namikaze has been detected to have severe mood swings and meets the conditions for stealing.]
[A: Rasengan]
[B: Space-Time Ninjutsu talent-Top-Level Reaction Nerves]
[C: Flying Thunder God Technique]
Space-Time Ninjutsu talent-Top-Level Reaction Nerves. This is it.
Senju Chen was ecstatic in his heart, and a hot flame ignited in the depths of his dark pupils!
"System, select B, replace [Advanced Chakra Refinement Technique]!"
[Ding! Skill replacement successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Space-Time Ninjutsu talent-Top-Level Reaction Nerves!]
The moment the order was given, Senju Chen felt that the whole world had changed.
The buzzing sound of Rasengan in his ears was stretched into a long note. The feeling of the night wind blowing against his cheek became clear and slow. In front of him, the dull expression on Minato Namikaze's face and every subtle muscle tremble played on his retina like slow motion.
No, it's not that the world is slowing down.
It's my thinking and my nerve reactions that have become faster! It's so fast that it's incredible!
This feeling is like the whole world has been pressed at 0.5 times the play button, and I am the only one moving at normal speed.
Is this...Minato Namikaze's space talent? It's so powerful!
Senju Chen was filled with great pride. Flying Thunder God The biggest threshold was finally leveled by him!
With a thought in his mind, he dispersed the Rasengan in his hands, and the training ground returned to silence.
"Little...Little Chen..."
Minato Namikaze finally found his voice, which was dry and hoarse. He took a step forward and even held Senju Chen's shoulders with trembling hands.
"You... how did you do it? Tell me, how did you do it?"
The way he looked at Senju Chen was no longer looking at a younger brother, but as if he were looking at a master who was preaching and teaching, full of eager longing.
Senju Chen blinked, his face switched back to the innocent expression, he scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment:
"I don't know either... I just listened to your theory Brother Minato and felt that Chakra's spin and power are like playing with water. I thought, if I fill a balloon with water first, and then let the water in the balloon rotate without letting the balloon explode, can I practice 'spin'?"
"Water polo?" Minato Namikaze murmured to himself, a light shining in his eyes.
"That's right! Then I thought that just spinning wouldn't work without the strength, so I found a leather ball. The leather ball is much stronger than the water polo. To break it with Chakra, you need a lot of 'power'! In this way, I also practiced the second step."
"The ball..." Minato Namikaze felt that his breathing was short, and the door to a new world was slowly opening in front of him.
"As for the last step of 'maintaining'," Senju Chen spread his hands and said matter-of-factly, "I've already practiced the first two steps, so just put them together and try to control them to prevent them from exploding. Isn't that enough?"
In a few words, the most efficient and scientific Rasengan training method summarized by later generations was clearly presented in front of Minato Namikaze.
After hearing these words, Minato Namikaze was completely silent.
He looked at Senju Chen's delicate and innocent face, and then at his scarred palms, and a huge sense of absurdity and powerlessness came to his heart.
I had been pondering over the problem for several months but could not find a solution, but the other party summed up the perfect training steps in a few words.
After three years of hard work, I developed the Ninjutsu. The opponent only used it in three days. Not only did he learn it, but he mastered it more perfectly than himself, and he could even use both hands at the same time.
At this moment, Minato Namikaze's mentality was completely unbearable...
