Rin and Kurenai discussed and decided to let everyone buy gifts together and visit Kakashi's house today.
Rin had already asked, and Kakashi would be home today.
Everyone said they would leave, but Obito kicked a rose behind him and came to Rin.
"Sorry, I have to go. I'm taking the Chunin exams soon, so I won't be coming along."
Then he ran off without saying another word.
Rin wanted to catch up and persuade him, but she couldn't leave this group of people alone, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Sigh..."
She sighed as she watched Obito like this, but there was nothing she could do.
She accompanied everyone to buy gifts first.
Rin planned to make her own gift, so she didn't buy anything on the way.
Everyone bought their own gifts. It should be mentioned that Guy bought a pair of training weights, which could be considered the most unique gift.
Kakashi was cooking at home at noon. Suddenly, seven uninvited guests came to the house, and his dead fish eyes lit up again.
"What's going on?"
He looked at Rin, who was smiling brightly and congratulating him, "Kakashi, congratulations on your promotion!"
Only then did Kakashi react and say, "I just received the notification... Forget it, since you are all here, stay and eat. I'll take out all the dishes from the fridge and cook them."
Shintaro looked at the two fish in the kitchen and sighed that the other party still loved fish very much.
Kakashi then gestured for a few people to put down the gifts, but when his eyes glanced at the Icha Icha Paradise in Shintaro's hands, his pupils shook.
He looked up and met his eyes, seeing Shintaro showing an expression that everyone would understand.
Kakashi immediately took the complete set of Icha Icha Paradise with understanding and stored it in his study.
After storing the Icha Icha Paradise collection, his attitude towards cooking became more positive. He took out all the ingredients from the fridge and cooked a lavish meal for the table.
A few people enjoyed eating and drinking.
After eating and drinking, everyone left happily. After Shintaro and Kurenai strolled around the village for a while, they parted ways.
Shintaro planned to go to the training ground to practice, while Kurenai went home to feed her cat.
Because the ninjutsu Shintaro planned to practice was too powerful, he chose the most remote training ground.
But he didn't expect someone to already be there.
"Hm?"
They had just had dinner at Kakashi's house and parted ways at noon, and maybe an hour had passed.
"Good afternoon Shintaro, are you here to exercise too?" Guy asked while standing on his head.
He was doing one-finger handstand push-ups with weights, which even for a ninja was not something an ordinary person could do.
"I'm here to practice ninjutsu." Shintaro shook his head slightly.
Guy expressed his regret and said, "What a pity. I originally wanted to do some passionate youthful training with you."
Shintaro smiled and said, "There will be opportunities in the future."
Then he deliberately distanced himself from Guy so they wouldn't disturb each other.
He then produced a normal-sized [Rasengan] in his hand and began experimenting with [Blue].
The [Blue Rasengan], the size of an egg, quickly formed. Shintaro felt dissatisfied and continued compressing it.
The [Blue Rasengan] kept shrinking, and when it reached the size of a coin, the center of the [Blue Rasengan] in his hand had already started turning red.
As it continued to shrink, the [Blue Rasengan] became fully dyed red.
Shintaro named it [Red Rasengan].
He wanted to keep compressing it, but he didn't expect the [Red Rasengan] to explode, causing a huge blast.
Flames shot into the sky, and a radius of tens of meters was flattened.
This movement even caught the attention of the Konoha Police Force. Fortunately, they were all members of the Konoha Police Force. After Shintaro explained a few words, several Uchiha clan members who had arrived withdrew.
Guy beside him was also stunned.
He first admired Shintaro's genius, that the half-finished ninjutsu he was developing could be so powerful.
Then he saw his injured palm, fell silent, and then muttered, "Can I reach such power with the physical skills I've trained so hard for?"
Shintaro walked over and encouraged him, "Yes, I believe in the power of your burning youth after opening [Hachimon]."
Guy was inspired and immediately nodded, then asked, "Shintaro, which gate of [Hachimon] have you opened?"
Shintaro replied honestly, "I haven't practiced much recently, I've only opened the fifth gate."
Guy who studied hard every day but only reached the fourth gate, fell silent again.
"Well, a genius is a genius... However, I believe hard work can surpass genius! Shintaro, I will definitely prove it to you!"
Guy encouraged himself again and started doubling the training program for today.
"Do 2,000 handstand one-finger push-ups. If I can't finish it, run 10,000 laps around the field!"
He often exercised all day long. After all, compared to ninjutsu and genjutsu, taijutsu required a lot of effort and was slow to yield results.
Only taijutsu ninjas like Guy spent so much time training taijutsu every day.
Shintaro also continued his training, and this time the distance was very far.
From the explosion just now, he felt the potential to continue compressing the [Blue Rasengan]. If combined with the [Limitless Technique] to form the Maximum, it could be very powerful.
The Maximum is the name of the spell for Jujutsu Sorcerers besides Domain Expansion.
Generally, only Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers could use the Maximum.
Shintaro began developing. His concentrated appearance was very similar to Minato's when he initially developed the [Rasengan].
Except Minato at least had Jiraiya enlightening him, while Shintaro had to figure it out by himself.
Compressing the [Rasengan] with [Blue] wasn't difficult. The hard part was controlling and maintaining the form of the [Rasengan] without collapsing.
Even with the Six Eyes, this was still a challenging task. If not careful, he would fail and fail.
Time passed day by day, and Shintaro was now living at Kurenai's house. He usually ran between Kurenai's house and the training ground on Sundays, and went to Orochimaru's Research Institute to work as an assistant.
Three months passed, and finally, Shintaro made a major breakthrough.
Still at the original training ground, Guy and Shintaro trained separately from a distance.
In Shintaro's hand, the originally large [Blue Rasengan] was quickly compressed to the size of a coin.
The color of the [Rasengan] changed from the original blue to dark blue, from dark blue to red, and finally from red to pitch black.
It looked somewhat similar to the [Bijudama], but in essence, it was very different.
The [Bijudama] was a product of concentrated Yin and Yang chakra, but the dark ball in front of him had no chakra attributes attached to it. It was a product of chakra and Cursed Energy.
It was a new ninjutsu and also a Cursed Technique.
Shintaro used [Blue] to compress and [Red] to launch it, and then the coin-sized ball quickly flew toward the distant hill.
*BOOM*
The hills were instantly flattened.
Guy in the distance was speechless seeing this scene, and the Konoha police force was once again alerted.
Shintaro, on the other hand, stood calmly and thought of a name for this move.
[Hollow Technique: Purple]
