"So, Minato, what you have in mind is concentrating chakra in the palm of the hand?"
"Is that it?"
Gekko Chizan stared at Minato Namikaze in front of him, eyes wide. This man had come straight from the battlefield to find him.
He said he wanted to research a new jutsu together, forcing Gekko to interrupt his travel plans with Pakura.
"Yes! The Tailed Beast Ball is also about condensing chakra, then merging it together in a certain ratio."
"If a tailed beast can do it, then so can we."
Looking at the elated Minato and Kushina supporting him at his side, Gekko Chizan cracked a small smile.
His voice suddenly turned ambiguous.
"Are you inventing a new jutsu, or do you have some strange goal?"
"Or why would you bring Kushina along when inventing a jutsu?"
Minato's face flushed a little. He did have a private motive — after all, Kushina was a jinchūriki.
And she was the jinchūriki of the extremely troublesome Nine-Tails. Lately Kushina had been sleeping poorly because of the Nine-Tails; chakra fluctuations were beginning to appear inside her.
If it weren't for the two of them being unusually skilled in sealing techniques, and for Kushina's Uzumaki clan chakra having made a qualitative leap as she matured, the Nine-Tails' seal would have shown signs of instability long ago.
"Chizan, you know Kushina's identity — recently the Nine-Tails' chakra has already leaked a bit."
"This situation is more serious than we thought."
"I've already talked to the teacher. His reply was to use a kind of training to consume the overflowing chakra."
"That's why I can't wait to create a new jutsu."
"Chizan, I need your help."
Gekko Chizan nodded. Minato treated him as a friend — and he, in turn, treated Minato as a friend.
Otherwise, why would he have helped Minato deal with Kushina so directly? His methods were a bit too straightforward, admittedly, haha.
But in the end, it led to the pair being together smoothly.
"Understood. But Minato—"
"Have you carefully examined the Tailed Beast Ball?"
Gekko Chizan wanted to know how deep Minato's understanding of the Tailed Beast Ball went, so he could build on it.
Minato pinched his chin and pondered for a moment, then said:
"First, the flow of chakra, then there should be rotation, and finally condense it into a spherical shape?"
"No, it shouldn't be simple rotation. If it were merely rotation, it couldn't cause that level of destruction."
Gekko Chizan listened to his muttering and nodded. This knowing look of his made Kushina at his side find something to comment on.
"Hey, Chizan, what are you nodding at?"
"Do you have some idea?"
"I think Minato's analysis is pretty spot-on."
As Minato's number-one fan, Kushina had to support her man.
Watching Kushina stand by Minato like an eagle protecting its chick, Gekko Chizan almost laughed out loud.
"No, I just think Minato's analysis is very accurate — it matches what I know about the Tailed Beast Ball."
"And I actually have a few ideas."
"First, gather chakra into the palm."
Following Minato's description, Gekko Chizan extended his hand and began to condense chakra. The blue chakra was conspicuous.
Next, he rotated the chakra — but irregularly.
Blue arcs of chakra began to intersect and gradually wrap around each other.
Minato's eyes lit up. He watched the chakra in Gekko Chizan's hand start to take on a spherical shape and became thrilled; his voice shook with excitement:
"Chizan, yes, that's it — you're a genius!"
"Keep going! Rotate it — irregular rotation!"
"Hahaha! So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"
"Kushina! I knew Chizan would bring us a surprise!"
Hearing Minato's ecstatic voice, Kushina widened her eyes, incredulous, looking at Gekko Chizan.
Even if she used every cell in her body, she couldn't have imagined Gekko actually trying Minato's idea.
Gekko Chizan also received the reward he desired.
[Ding! Detected host demonstrating a prototype of Rasengan in front of Minato Namikaze; successfully seized the title of Rasengan creator, appropriating the jutsu originally created by Minato Namikaze for himself! This plot development is excellent!]
[Special reward: Ninjutsu Amplification +10%.]
Now that's great — using the system to award a jutsu while standing before its creator and boosting attributes. Tsk tsk, what could be better than that?
At the same time, Kushina reached out her right hand to try the chakra sphere in his palm, but in the next second—
"Bang!"
The chakra refused to obey her control and exploded.
The blast's shockwave drew the attention of both Minato and Gekko Chizan.
Poor Kushina had been thrown to the ground by the explosion and was now clutching her right hand in pain.
"Kushina, are you all right?"
Minato, full of concern, tended to Kushina's wound. He even had bandages in the pouch at his waist — tsk, tsk, this made Gekko Chizan give a slight auntie-like smile.
"Hey, Minato, you even brought bandages? Prepared, aren't you."
Hearing Gekko's teasing, Minato didn't mind at all — after all, a man wanting to be a good husband carrying bandages was normal.
After treating Kushina's hand, Minato turned his gaze back to Gekko Chizan.
The sphere was still spinning; Minato couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Chizan, you really are a genius. I only had an idea, and you actually simulated it."
"Could this be your interpretation of the Tailed Beast Ball?"
Gekko Chizan looked at the blue orb in his right hand and nodded without hesitation.
"Yes. After all, the Tailed Beast Ball is the most powerful offensive technique a tailed beast has — that's what inspired me."
"But this is still only a prototype, look."
As Gekko Chizan pressed the sphere onto the ground—
"Boom!"
A crisp explosion rang out. A round of marks appeared on the surface, but the marks weren't deep — clearly not enough damage.
Seeing this, Minato frowned slightly. This power was far from what he had imagined.
If it stayed at this level, ordinary ninjutsu could achieve it; it couldn't reach the effect he expected.
No — something was definitely wrong.
"Minato, I think the hard part of this jutsu isn't making the chakra rotate, but compressing it."
"It needs to be compressed to the point of crushing an enemy outright."
"Of course, I haven't reached that step yet — it's still only a prototype."
Cut the leeks, cut the leeks — you can't harvest all the leeks at once; you cut them wave after wave.
