Chapter 15: Refinement

It was a whole-body refinement that was happening at that moment!

However, the vibration was stopped as the energy was being consumed. Naruto quickly ate five more spheres, feeling that it was a great fortune for him.

He didn't know if this would happen again if he stopped at this moment. He was determined to finish this refinement.

As Naruto continued to focus on refinement, his body began to emit a bright red aura. When the sun rose and shone over Mount Myoboku, the light passed through Naruto's body, which glowed intensely in red.

Something was coming out of his back and swaying in the air, illuminating the entire area.

But Naruto didn't notice this change. He was focused on completing the refinement.

To do this, he used fifty red light orbs and twenty purple orbs to finally complete the process.

When he opened his eyes and looked at the red aura and energy streams in his body, he felt great joy. His whole body was free of impurities now.

Naruto felt that he was even stronger than ever!

Finally, the refinement was complete!

Naruto felt immense joy in his heart, as he had reached a new level of power. He realized that his power was at least double what it was before when he achieved total refinement of the Ren and Du meridians.

As he washed himself in the lake, Naruto noticed that something was different. He raised his hand and saw a red aura and streams of adamantine swaying behind him.

He was a little confused, but soon realized that he had not yet completed the complete refinement.

Determined to reach the maximum of his potential, Naruto ate a purple orb to help with his concentration and mental power, inspecting his whole body to feel the changes. He realized that his whole body was filled with this vibrant red glow, and his energy was at an extremely high level.

After about an hour, the red aura began to slowly fade, and his body returned to normal. Naruto clenched his fists and felt a powerful force arise, an aura-shaped armor that surrounded parts of his body at his will.

He now felt that he would be able to easily withstand the attack of the wind wolves without his shadow clone disappearing. And it wasn't just that, he had awakened the adamantine chains, something he never imagined he could do.

With a satisfied smile, Naruto knew that he had reached a new level of power and that he would now be able to face even greater challenges. He was eager to put his skills into practice and discover how far he could go with his new power.

In a more isolated location of Mount Myoboku, Naruto created two shadow clones.

He puts his hands together in front of his body and starts to concentrate on his chakra. Gradually, the air around him begins to vibrate with bright blue energy as he molds his chakra into a sphere the size of a basketball.

He then adds the wind god art to the chakra, creating sharp blades that begin to spin rapidly around the sphere. Naruto puts even more chakra into the technique, enhancing its power and range, as he adds more chakra and enhances its power, the sound begins to increase in intensity, as if a storm is forming, until finally a rotating shuriken, glittering with green wind and power, is formed.

"Wind God Art! Rasenshuriken!"

With a determined shout, Naruto pulls his arm back, ready to launch the Rasenshuriken with great precision and power. He throws the rotating shuriken toward his target, which starts to spin even faster and grow in size.

When it finally hits the target, the shuriken explodes into a sharp green wind vortex.

The green wind vortex created by Naruto's Rasenshuriken swept through the area with powerful force, destroying trees, rocks, and everything else in its path. The windstorm spread like a wave, reaching even farther areas of Mount Myoboku.

Birds that were flying through the sky were thrown to the ground, unable to withstand the force of the wind. Leaves from the trees were ripped off, spinning around the vortex and mixing with rocks and branches.

When the storm finally subsided, Naruto observed the damage he had caused. The area around his target was completely destroyed, with trees and rocks scattered everywhere.

Naruto knew that this technique was extremely powerful and needed to be used with caution. He was aware that the Rasenshuriken could cause irreparable damage to the environment and people if used improperly.

With that in mind, Naruto decided that he needed to further improve his skills and learn to fully control the power of this technique before using it again.

Although that was what he thought, he was still happy with the positive result. As the dust settled, Naruto stood with a satisfied smile on his face.

What was even more interesting was that he didn't need to use the Sage Mode to use this technique. If he did, how powerful would it be?

Although he was itching to test it out, he knew that if he used it, he could cause serious damage to the environment of Mount Myoboku. So, temporarily, he wouldn't use this jutsu in Sage Mode until he fully mastered it.

Naruto realized an interesting fact while testing his new technique. He remembered that the Rasenshuriken used to wear out his Sage Mode a lot, as seen in the anime.

However, now, by using the wind god art, he didn't wear out as much. At most, he used only 15% of his chakra.

But his thoughts soon drifted to something heavier. When he stopped what he was doing, his mind returned to his recent dream, and a sadness overtook him.

This morning, he woke up crying after catching himself thinking about Jiraiya. Was Jiraiya still watching him from up there? And if so, could he still hear him? And most importantly, was he still proud of him?

Naruto felt lost without Jiraiya, his mentor and father figure. Since the death of the Toad Sage, Naruto had a void in his heart that seemed impossible to fill.
