The combined effect of these three Ninjutsu was incredibly good; a sudden sneak attack from Rin, with her current strength, could heavily injure or even kill the Third Raikage.
Rin wasn't like Minato Namikaze, who relied solely on the Rasengan to conquer the world; even though Minato's current Rasengan was compressed, it still couldn't overcome the Third Raikage.
However, with Rin's Wind Release: Spiraling Compression Storm Rifle, cast instantly without hand seals, and a sudden Flying Thunder God close-quarters attack, even the reanimated Madara would take full damage.
As for the Old Man Madara who was barely clinging to life, Rin was no longer afraid of him; in fact, Rin even felt a surge of eagerness to pull out Old Man Madara's oxygen tube.
Jiraiya's Wild Lion's Mane Jutsu involved Yang Release that wasn't overly complex, and Rin mastered it in a short time. Now, Rin's hair could also be made long or short, capable of both offense and defense.
Things like Hair Needle Senbon and Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears were developed by Rin herself, and their power was quite good, with very complete functions.
The only side effect was that Rin's hair became less soft and smooth. From a distance, it might still look the same, but up close, the tips of her hair were a bit frizzy, though not in a split-end kind of way.
It gave a feeling of being both smooth and prickly, especially the unmanageable cowlick that stood up right in the center of Rin's head.
Jiraiya, the developer of the Jutsu, didn't have this situation, yet Rin grew a cowlick, and it was the kind that could be controlled to sway.
Well, sometimes it would sway on its own even without Rin controlling it, mainly when Rin's emotional changes caused Chakra fluctuations; this cowlick, like a detector, would sway in different postures with Rin's mood changes.
As a result, Rin was teased by Jiraiya and Obito for a long time because of this cowlick. Even the hairpin Rin received from Rin Nohara couldn't suppress it.
So Rin gave up; anyway, this thing was very sensitive to Chakra fluctuations, and Rin's Sensory Ninjutsu also became stronger.
Rin's current Ninjutsu and Genjutsu system was already well-developed; she only needed to diligently practice and refine Shadow Clone. Currently, Rin wasn't spending any more effort on developing new Ninjutsu.
After more than half a year of effort, the nature transformation of the Wind Release still hadn't reached the 'I-think-so' level. However, the nature transformation of the Water Release, due to her research on Hard Vortex Water Blade and Water Severing Wave, had led to her mastering a third nature transformation.
For Earth Release, thanks to the Earth Release Chakra crystal necklace given by the Third Hokage, Rin had also mastered three types of Earth Release Chakra nature transformations. It had to be said that Chakra crystals were treasures.
Unfortunately, Rin currently couldn't research this Chakra crystal at a microscopic level; macroscopically, she only knew that it could absorb and convert Natural Energy.
It felt like a low-spec version of a God Tree fragment, but the rate was simply too low, or perhaps this Chakra crystal was too small.
As an Uchiha, the nature transformations of Fire Release and Lightning Release, which she should have mastered most, actually became the slowest progressing attributes, which truly almost made Indra's coffin lid unable to stay down. (Rin didn't know she had Senju bloodline)
However, compared to a typical Jonin, Rin's progress in Fire Release and Lightning Release was quite fast. She had comprehended two types of Fire Release, namely explosion and combustion, though her comprehension level was relatively shallow.
For Lightning Release, she had only comprehended paralysis. As for cell activation and penetration, she was still lacking, mainly because Konoha had too few Lightning Release Ninjutsu reserves.
For Yang Release, she had only comprehended one type, Yang's healing, and her comprehension level was very shallow. Yin Release was similar, in the aspect of Yin's illusions.
Rin's current Chakra reserves allowed her to barely begin training in Sage Mode, but Rin's approach was a self-created human Sage system, so the progress was undoubtedly much slower.
Without other Sage Mode users for comparison, Rin could only grope her way forward, not daring to extract a large amount of Sage Art Chakra at once, and each time, Sage Art Chakra had to be accompanied by Curse Power to prevent losing control and turning herself into stone or something else.
However, Rin still knew the general direction was to adapt her body to Natural Energy and Sage Art Chakra. Although cautious and slow in progress, it was safe.
Moreover, Rin wasn't unable to use Senjutsu. Currently, the Sage Art Chakra Rin extracted from two minutes of meditation was enough to perform one Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasengan Compression Shuriken.
Compared to the original Wind Release: Rasengan Compression Shuriken, the Sage Art version's power increased by more than fifty percent. Don't ask Rin how she tested it; just look at the two White Zetsu remnants in Rin's lab.
The first time, Rin used an unrefined Wind Release: Rasengan Compression Shuriken to feign losing control, blowing up the White Zetsu who dared to play with feces and wear her small skirt in front of Black Zetsu.
The first time, Rin didn't control the range well, and that White Zetsu was directly obliterated by Rin's Wind Release: Rasengan Compression Shuriken, leaving only half an arm remaining.
Rin's plan was a great success. She directly NTR'd in front of Black Zetsu, acquiring half a White Zetsu arm, which provided Rin with this excellent experimental material.
Rin noticed Black Zetsu's dumbfounded expression at the time. His entire White Zetsu was inexplicably eliminated, and Rin even discovered the White Zetsu's remains.
At that moment, he felt panic, thinking that Rin had already discovered White Zetsu, and even him, so he just fled in a panic.
And he didn't dare to tell Uchiha Madara about this, fearing that they would be exposed and killed by the mastermind behind that Null Organization.
Later, he was terrified for several months, but nothing happened, so he began to suspect that Rin's elimination of White Zetsu last time was just a coincidence.
He guessed that Rin hadn't discovered White Zetsu at all, thinking that although Rin now knew someone was monitoring her, she would never know what White Zetsu was.
White Zetsu was a biological weapon created by his mother using the God Tree; other Ōtsutsuki couldn't create White Zetsu, so that organization shouldn't know what White Zetsu was. (Second setting)
Then he plucked up the courage to order White Zetsu to monitor Rin again. After a few months, he found that White Zetsu was fine, so he firmly believed that Rin's previous incident was just a coincidence.
Then he broke down again, because when he personally went to visit Rin, he saw a familiar scene again, only this time it was the Senjutsu version.
Then, once again, the Ninjutsu went out of control, and once again, it successfully blew up this White Zetsu. How similar the scene was; he even wondered if he had fallen under Izanami.
Black Zetsu didn't dare to gamble this time; he slipped away again, and Rin once again obtained a White Zetsu remnant, replenishing the White Zetsu material that was almost exhausted before.
Studying White Zetsu allowed Rin to gain a deeper understanding of Wood Release and Hashirama cells. White Zetsu was a very peculiar biological weapon; it seemed to be naturally capable of reverse transcribing Wood Release genes onto White Zetsu's simple DNA.
By comparing the genes of White Zetsu Cells and Hashirama cells, Rin quickly identified the sequence of the Wood Release genome.
However, this genome still had a few dominant and recessive genes. Through multiple gene excisions and reverse transcriptions, followed by trait comparisons,
Rin finally identified and named the Hashirama Wood Release genome and the Hashirama Sage Body genome, which streamlined Rin's process, which would have otherwise relied almost entirely on brute force, down to a few months.
