Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 9 Jiraiya

Buzz————

In the forest, Naruto's two shadow clones huddled together. One shadow clone maintained the Rasengan, while the other shadow clone was responsible for injecting wind-attribute nature transformation into it.

Soon, tiny shuriken-like wind blades appeared on the Rasengan, and a piercing buzzing sound echoed through the forest, the wind howling and rustling the leaves.

"I'll fucking kill you with my kidney!"

boom!

With a deafening roar, the earth trembled, and a towering tree collapsed.

Naruto himself stepped forward and examined the broken part of the tree trunk, but after looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

Another week has passed, and his spiral shuriken still hasn't made any progress. It's still stuck here with small wind blades at the four corners, unable to advance an inch.

"Where exactly is the problem...?"

Naruto, unable to ride his sister in his white silk stockings, sighed heavily, collapsed to the ground, and gave up. His patience was almost exhausted.

He had completed his training in cutting tree leaves, but since he couldn't find a waterfall and didn't know the two ninjutsu that Yamato used in the original story, he could only use river water as a substitute for cutting the waterfall.

Compared to a cascading waterfall, cutting through a river is significantly easier, but even so, Naruto couldn't quite manage to cut off the river.

Sharp, friction...

I don't think there's anything wrong with this, is there?

Lying on the grass, looking up at the sky, Naruto seemed somewhat listless.

He wasn't a diligent person to begin with, and the only reason he'd been able to cultivate so consistently for so long was because he was saving his own life.

But as his patience wore thin, he suddenly realized that death wasn't so unacceptable after all.

"Hey, little one, you seem to have something on your mind..."

Just as Naruto was at his wit's end, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly came from a tree trunk not far away.

Naruto raised his eyelids and saw a tall man wearing a red coat.

The man had white hair, two red marks under his eyes, wore a headband with the word "oil" written on it, and carried a huge scroll on his back.

Glancing at the newcomer, Naruto slowly sat up: "Your Wind Release chakra transformation isn't progressing. Can you fix this?"

"Haha, then you've come to the right person!"

The man laughed loudly and flipped himself down from the tree.

As he fell, he formed a hand seal, and with a thud, a toad the size of a calf appeared beneath his feet.

Then he stepped on the toad's head, spread his legs wide, and made a pushing motion with his hands, striking a pose as if making a dazzling entrance.

"This great one is none other than—the Immortal Solitary Taoist, the toad spirit of Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya!"

Naruto gave a barely perceptible smirk: "Get to the point."

"Haha...you're really impatient."

Jiraiya's lips twitched, and he awkwardly scratched his head with a laugh.

This kid looks exactly like Minato, but his personality is completely opposite...

"Well... I'm here to help you, so at least introduce yourself, right?"

"Ichigo Kurosaki"

"Ahaha, Ichigo, huh..."

That dishonest brat!

Jiraiya's lips twitched even more violently.

"Hmm... To start training in chakra nature transformation at this age, you are undoubtedly a genius among geniuses."

Seeing that Naruto's expression was becoming increasingly impatient, Jiraiya quickly changed the subject to the main point.

"But before that...did you test your chakra properties?"

call--

A refreshing breeze blew through the forest, and Naruto's silence was deafening.

"Looks like there aren't any left..."

Jiraiya shrugged: "People who are born with multiple chakra natures often encounter a similar problem: when they are training in a certain chakra nature transformation, they will unconsciously mix in chakra of other natures."

"I suggest you find a chakra test strip and test your chakra attribute first."

"And then? How do you avoid it?"

"Instead of that, tell me how you train for Wind Release Chakra Nature Transformation."

Jiraiya smiled and said, "First, we need to determine if there's a problem with the training method."

Naruto thought for a moment: "Cover your hands with chakra and imagine the feeling of friction and sharpness."

"that's all?"

"that's all."

Naruto nodded, while Jiraiya was dumbfounded.

No, is it that abstract?

"Sigh, it seems you only have a general idea of ​​the direction..."

Jiraiya sighed. How could he possibly succeed in becoming a disciple? No wonder he's Minato's son.

No, even Minato couldn't successfully incorporate nature transformation into the Rasengan, but this kid actually did it, even though he's still quite inexperienced.

But he didn't even complete the change of nature! That's outrageous...

"I don't know where you got this training method from, but you clearly haven't grasped the key point... Listen carefully, the most crucial point of Wind Release chakra nature transformation is severing!"

As Jiraiya spoke, he picked up a leaf, held it between his fingers, and covered it with chakra, causing the leaf to split in two.

"Whether it's so-called friction or sharpness, the ultimate goal is to sever. And the best way to feel severance is to divide your chakra into two parts and imagine these two parts rubbing against each other, eventually rubbing together to form a sharp, thin sheet!"

Naruto has a good memory and remembers some of the plot points and settings from the original work very clearly, but apart from those particularly memorable parts, he can't accurately remember every single word.

Thinking about it now, it seems that's really true...

Raise your hand, just as Jiraiya instructed.

Naruto imagined the feeling of intensely rubbing two portions of chakra together, then formed his palm into a knife and slashed at the tree trunk.

laugh--

As a clear scratch appeared, the upper half of the tree trunk slowly slid down the dividing line and crashed to the ground!

Jiraiya was increasingly amazed by Naruto's talent: "Not bad, it seems you've been stuck at this stage for a long time, just unable to grasp the key points."

Naruto looked at Jiraiya again: "You still haven't told me how to deal with the effects of other chakra natures."

"First and foremost is concentration. Chakra nature transformation is different from chakra refinement or ninjutsu training. It's more of a concept, so very few people can master it."

Jiraiya explained, "Secondly... the more wind-style chakra nature transformations are added, the fewer other natures are needed."

"Similarly, if you are born with a higher proportion of a certain chakra nature than wind nature, or if you have mastered a certain chakra nature transformation, it will also affect your control to some extent."

Naruto thought for a moment: "Could we incorporate two chakra nature transformations at the same time?"

"Using two chakra nature transformations simultaneously will produce a new nature transformation, which is... the so-called bloodline limit." (Official setting, please don't argue. See chapter 316 of the manga for details.)

Jiraiya laughed and said, "But that's almost impossible. The difference in difficulty between using multiple nature transformations individually and using multiple nature transformations is enormous. Looking at the entire ninja world, very few people can do it. Most Jonin can only master one or two nature transformations in their entire lives."

Naruto's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this: "In other words, those who possess this kind of bloodline limit are born with the ability to transform two types of chakra nature, is that right?"

"That's true to some extent, but the degree of control is another matter..."

As Jiraiya spoke, he noticed Naruto's expression, and his smile froze: "You have a bloodline limit?"

"What, you don't have one?"

Naruto stomped his foot, and the severed tree stump behind him suddenly shot up high, extending lush branches and leaves!
