Hokage, no one knows better than me how to cultivate talent.

[You have gifted Naruto Uzumaki, a high-quality talent with a level 2 relationship, a Shadow Clone Technique training scroll (hand-drawn version)]

[Naruto was deeply moved by the high-quality talent, triggering a tenfold critical hit.]

[Reward Obtained: Fire Release Chakra Form Transformation (Advanced)]

The moment he received the reward, a flood of memories about training in the Fire Attribute Chakra form rushed into Qiu Shui's mind. These memories were so clear that they seemed to be his own experiences, with every detail vividly remembered.

Qiu Shui's eyes lit up, and her systematic understanding of chakra cultivation naturally surfaced in her mind.

Chakra attribute training is mainly divided into two dimensions: nature transformation and form transformation.

Chakra nature transformation is the process of converting chakra into energy with specific attributes, giving it different characteristics and destructive power.

The five basic elements—wind, fire, thunder, water, and earth—form the cornerstone of the ninjutsu system.

The higher the level of mastery of nature transformation, the stronger the ninjutsu becomes.

When two or more chakra nature transformations are combined and used, a completely new escaping technique is created, which is the principle behind the formation of bloodline limits.

Chakra shape transformation involves precise control over the shape, size, trajectory, and degree of compression of chakra.

Like Kakashi's Chidori, which materializes Lightning Release chakra into a sharp spear shape; or like Minato Namikaze's Rasengan, which compresses chakra into a high-speed rotating sphere.

When the transformation of nature and the transformation of form are perfectly integrated, the power of ninjutsu will increase exponentially.

Remembering the chakra nature transformation and max-level Great Fireball Technique he had previously acquired, coupled with his current fire-attribute chakra form transformation, Qiu Shui had the idea to give it a try. He walked to the riverbank, formed hand seals, gathered a large amount of chakra in his throat, his chest rapidly bulged, and he first leaned back slightly, then suddenly leaned forward, shouting: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

In an instant, a huge fireball about ten meters in diameter burst forth from his mouth. The scorching red light reflected off the river surface. The moment the fireball touched the water, it made a loud hissing sound. Water and fire merged, evaporating a large amount of white mist that spread over the riverbank.

Not far away, Uchiha Sasuke, who had just finished drinking water to moisten his throat, was preparing to continue his training. He formed hand seals and mobilized the chakra in his body, but only managed to spit out a red fireball with a diameter of about three meters.

"Damn it, why is it still so small?"

Sasuke was unwilling to give up and was about to try again when he caught a glimpse of the huge fireball released by Shusui. His movements froze instantly, and he was slightly stunned, his eyes fixed on the firelight on the river that had not yet completely dissipated.

"So strong..."

Although the Great Fireball Technique is not exclusive to the Uchiha clan, it is one of their most frequently used Fire Release ninjutsu. Whenever this technique is mentioned, people will inevitably think of the Uchiha clan.

Sasuke learned this as his first ninjutsu, and he had also witnessed his father and Itachi Uchiha use it. But he was certain that even the Great Fireball Technique released by the two of them was not as big as Shusui.

Sasuke's eyes revealed an undisguised desire. Compared to Shusui, his small fireball was worlds apart. If he could master such a powerful fireball, wouldn't he be one step closer to his goal of revenge against Uchiha Itachi?

Although he is still young, he has studied for four years and has had extraordinary experiences. He is no longer as naive as he was when he was a child and has already learned basic social etiquette.

He and Qiu Shui were not acquainted, nor were they related. Why would someone else teach him?

Even if you force yourself to ask for advice, the chances of being rejected are extremely high.

If the Uchiha clan still existed, the proud Sasuke would never have considered asking others for guidance, as that would damage the Uchiha clan's image. But now, for the sake of revenge, he decided to humble himself and give it a try.

However, when Sasuke's gaze fell on Naruto Uzumaki sitting behind Shusui, his legs felt as heavy as lead, and he couldn't take a step.

If it were anyone else, he could grit his teeth and step forward, but he didn't want Uzumaki Naruto to see him behaving so humbly. If Naruto saw him, the whole school would know about it the next day.

Sasuke stood there in silence for a long time before finally giving up on the idea and comforting himself.

Even with Itachi Uchiha's immense strength, it would be difficult to defeat him using just a Fireball Jutsu.

Shusui was unaware of Sasuke's thoughts. While he used the Great Fireball Technique to attract Sasuke's attention, he was more interested in testing the power of the Fire Release ninjutsu.

Naruto, who was behind him, saw this and his eyes widened. He couldn't sit still any longer.

Although he had just learned the Shadow Clone Technique, he still preferred offensive ninjutsu.

When Naruto saw the giant fireball with his own eyes, he immediately felt a strong urge to learn it. If he could learn this skill, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted at school?

He had already begun to fantasize about learning this ninjutsu, defeating Sasuke in a practical lesson, and then everyone cheering for him.

Naruto wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and immediately ran to Shusui, asking, "Shusui-sensei, what's the name of this ninjutsu? Can I learn it?"

Qiu Shui turned around and said, "Don't bite off more than you can chew. You've only just learned one ninjutsu, and you're already thinking of learning another?"

Although he liked Naruto's eagerness to learn, he knew that Naruto had wind-style chakra. Theoretically, people with different chakra could also use ninjutsu of other styles, but it would be less efficient and not worthwhile.

Naruto, however, grinned and leaned closer, saying, "Let me try."

He had just learned the Shadow Clone Technique in one go, and he was in a state of overflowing confidence, feeling that as long as he had Teacher Qiushui to teach him, no ninjutsu was a problem.

Qiu Shui didn't discourage him; instead, she patiently taught him how to use the Great Fireball Technique.

The result was exactly as Qiu Shui had predicted.

Naruto stood by the river, puffing out his cheeks and blowing for over half an hour. Apart from being panting heavily and spitting out saliva, he didn't see a single spark. In the end, he could only walk back sheepishly.

He felt that he was probably not a genius, and that he had just succeeded by luck.

Qiu Shui didn't say anything and prepared to begin teaching.

He took out chakra test strips and let Naruto test his chakra nature.

Naruto, somewhat curious, followed Shusui's instructions and concentrated his chakra into a tangible form.

The chakra test strip seemed to have been sliced ​​in two by a sharp blade.

Qiushui said, "Your chakra is wind-attribute."

Next, he explained in detail the basics of chakra attributes and the ninjutsu directions suitable for Naruto to train.

Naruto then realized that he was not suited to training fire-style ninjutsu.
