Chapter 11 Light Cyclone Popsicle Launches with Jiraiya's Twin-Style Ball
On the screen.
In his dream, Naruto looked at his "father," who had the same hair and eye color as him, with a look of surprise and familiarity.
Huh? Who is this uncle? He looks...familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.
Naruto was, after all, a loser, and he never looked at his textbooks.
As for the Hokage Rock... asking him to memorize the statue's appearance and then match it to the real person is simply asking too much of him. He usually remembers his classmates' appearances by giving them nicknames.
Looking at the living Minato, he felt an unusual sense of familiarity and warmth, but he couldn't connect him with the legendary hero at all.
He just stared blankly as Shuimen walked over, washed his hands, and then sat down with a smile between him and "Mom".
"Alright, let's eat."
Kushina picked up her chopsticks and enthusiastically placed a large, glistening piece of pork simmered pork belly on Naruto's plate. "Naruto, eat more. You're so thin. Today is your big day as a genin, so make sure you eat your fill."
Minato smiled and placed a golden-brown fried chicken leg on Naruto's plate, saying gently, "That's right, becoming a ninja is hard work, you need to get enough nutrition."
"Hmm! Hmm!" Naruto looked at the mountain of food piled up in his bowl, and then at his "father" and "mother" with their gentle smiles beside him, feeling as if he were in heaven.
He nodded vigorously, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat heartily.
Although he knew it might be a dream, but...
The food that Mom and Dad put on my plate...it was so delicious!
The feeling of being cared for, loved, and having a family meal together... it's real.
Naruto thoroughly enjoyed and was extremely satisfied with the meal.
He felt it was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten in his life.
It's even... a hundred times better than Ichiraku Ramen.
His face was adorned with a silly smile the whole time, as if he were melting with happiness.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +2000!!]
[Ding! Naruto's deep-seated obsession/dream, "Having dinner with his parents," has been successfully fulfilled in the dream instance!]
[Congratulations, host! You have triggered a special reward and received 10000 emotion points!]
……
"Holy crap!! Ten thousand points?!"
Hidden in the darkness, Shigure was so excited when she saw the numbers on the system panel suddenly surge that she almost bit her tongue.
"We've struck it rich! We've really hit the jackpot this time!"
"It seems... that touching the deepest obsessions of a character is the best way to obtain a lot of emotional points. I need to study the psychological needs of my 'clients' more in the future. My professional training in psychological counseling has finally paid off."
Shi Yu looked at his total emotion value, which had instantly surged to nearly 20,000, and felt that he was one step closer to his goal of exchanging for advanced bloodlines and ninjutsu.
……
in the audience.
Kakashi looked at the heartwarming scene of a family of three having a happy meal on the screen, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
If only Minato-sensei and Kushina-senpai hadn't sacrificed themselves that night twelve years ago.
That must be Naruto's daily life...
He will grow up like an ordinary child, lovingly cared for by his parents, able to be spoiled, to complain, and to enjoy everything that should belong to him...
An indescribable bitterness and regret welled up in his heart once again.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
……
In the dream, the cozy dinner time quickly came to an end.
Naruto patted his round belly, sat on the stool grinning foolishly, feeling so happy he was about to faint.
Minato stood up and began skillfully clearing the dishes from the table. He smiled and said to Naruto, "Naruto, you can't just sit there after you've eaten. Come on, you're a man now, let's go wash the dishes."
"Huh? Washing dishes?" Naruto didn't react for a moment.
Minato winked and gave a mischievous smile: "Of course! We can't let Mom work so hard all by herself, can we? We have to help Mom with the housework."
"Oh, okay, okay!" Naruto finally realized what was happening, immediately jumped off the stool, and excitedly replied, "I'll help Mom wash the dishes!"
So the father and son went to the kitchen sink together.
Minato was in charge of scrubbing the pots, while Naruto was in charge of washing the dishes covered in grease.
Naruto had eaten instant noodles or Ichiraku Ramen since he was a child and had almost never cooked for himself, let alone washed dishes. His movements were a bit clumsy, and he would either knock over the plates or get himself covered in foam.
But he didn't find it annoying at all; on the contrary, he enjoyed it.
It feels so good to do housework with "Dad".
Just as Naruto was humming a little tune and clumsily struggling with the greasy dishes, Mizuto, who was washing a pot next to him, suddenly spoke mysteriously:
"Oh, right, Naruto."
"Hmm? What is it, Dad?"
Minato stopped what he was doing, turned around, and smiled at Naruto: "To celebrate your official promotion to genin today, Daddy has decided... to teach you an incredibly powerful ninjutsu!"
"Huh? That's an amazing ninjutsu?" Naruto's eyes lit up, but then he became a little confused.
Can you learn ninjutsu in your dreams?
Minato smiled mysteriously, keeping everyone in suspense: "After you finish washing the dishes, we'll go to the backyard."
He added proudly, "This ninjutsu took me three years to create. It's incredibly powerful, and the name is really cool."
Naruto became even more curious, but he still felt a little strange.
In my dream... I learned the powerful ninjutsu my father created?
How do I put it...? It seems a bit unreliable.
……
in the audience.
"A self-created ninjutsu?" Sakura, intrigued, asked curiously, "Fourth Hokage... did you create any powerful ninjutsu?"
She looked at Sasuke and Kakashi beside her.
Sasuke shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
The history textbooks at the Ninja Academy mostly focus on the Fourth Hokage's speed, known as the "Yellow Flash," and his heroic deeds in sealing the Nine-Tails. They don't describe much about the specific ninjutsu he was skilled in or created.
Sakura pouted and muttered, "In the end, this is probably just something that idiot Naruto imagined, right? How could he possibly be the Fourth Hokage's son? If he were the Fourth Hokage's son, how could he have had such a miserable childhood? The Fourth Hokage was a hero who sacrificed himself to save the village. Naruto... he must just be dreaming, dreaming that he is the son of a hero."
Kakashi listened to Sakura's reasoned analysis and sighed helplessly once again.
However, the background of Naruto and the arrangements made for him by the Third Hokage were complicated by too many reasons and helplessness.
Kakashi himself wasn't entirely sure either.
But at this moment, he was increasingly less convinced that all of this was just Naruto's "dream"!
Minato-sensei... created... an extremely powerful ninjutsu...
Kakashi's heart skipped a beat.
As Minato's most prized disciple, how could he not know his master's trump card?!
He not only knew exactly what it was, but he could even use it himself! Although... he didn't use it perfectly.
Therefore, he referenced this ninjutsu and invented a ninjutsu more suitable for himself.
Is it...
Is it really that technique?!
Kakashi's brows furrowed even more deeply.
He stared intently at the screen.
……
On the screen.
The scene in the dream has shifted to the backyard of that cozy little home.
Can you really succeed in learning ninjutsu in your dreams?
However, since she's with "Dad," she can do whatever she wants.
Looking at his gentle-smiling "father," he decided to cooperate fully.
Minato mysteriously extended his right hand, palm up.
The next second—
hum.
There was no warning whatsoever.
A ball of chakra energy, radiating a pale blue light as if spinning at high speed, suddenly appeared in his palm!
The blue pellet spun rapidly, emitting a soft and unique buzzing sound, and the surrounding air seemed to be stirred by it, producing visible distortions.
……
in the audience.
The moment I saw that blue ball appear.
Kakashi froze completely, as if struck by a spell! His pupils contracted to their maximum size in an instant!
"It really is...!"
He could no longer remain calm and abruptly stood up from his seat again.
"Rasengan!"
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
That's right, it's the Rasengan.
It was his teacher, Minato Namikaze, who spent three whole years observing the principles of the Tailed Beast Ball before finally developing the ultimate ninjutsu that perfectly combines the extreme of form transformation with high-density chakra—the A-rank secret technique, Rasengan!
This is definitely not a coincidence.
What made Kakashi's scalp tingle even more was—
At this moment, Minato-sensei was demonstrating the Rasengan, the way he gathered chakra, and even the gentle smile on his face, as if he were preparing to impart his ultimate technique to his disciple…
They're all like him back then...
Not long after being promoted to Jonin, Minato called him to the training ground one evening and demonstrated and taught him the Rasengan for the first time...
same!
This is absolutely, absolutely not something that can be simulated by a simple dream.
The Rasengan is a unique ninjutsu created by Minato. Its principles and training methods are extremely complex. Minato died young and never had the chance to popularize this technique.
In the entire ninja world, apart from my teacher, only I and Jiraiya-sama have truly mastered this technique.
How could Naruto possibly see such a precise and realistic... Rasengan tutorial in his dream?!
This is neither an illusion nor an ordinary dream.
This... is the entity that's manipulating everything from behind the scenes...
Who is it?
Kakashi felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He had originally planned to observe further and report to the Third Hokage after gathering more clues.
but now……
No!
Can't wait any longer!
The strangeness of this matter far exceeded his comprehension.
We must report everything that happened here to the Third Generation Elders immediately!
perhaps……
Only the Third Hokage, who was known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu" and was proficient in all ninjutsu, could find the answer and unravel this mystery!
Kakashi took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, clearly having made up his mind.
