Chapter 21 The Decomposition and Learning Method of Ninjutsu

The Rasengan is an A-rank, unfinished ninjutsu created by Minato Namikaze. According to Minato himself, the Rasengan is just an incomplete ninjutsu, and it could be further improved by incorporating other chakra nature transformations.

His son, the prophesied child of the ninja world, the Seventh Hokage Naruto Uzumaki, proved this point, with a wide variety of dumplings that were far more abundant than the three-colored dumpling shop in the village.

Moreover, this ninjutsu is exactly the kind of ninjutsu learning process that Minato is now referring to, which is a prime example of breaking down the learning process.

During the learning of Rasengan, you can use three stages—popping a balloon, popping a water balloon, and popping a rubber ball—to assist in mastering the Rasengan and reduce the difficulty of learning.

Furthermore, the Rasengan itself is a stage of training achievement. After learning the Rasengan, a ninjutsu that transforms into a form, one can then learn chakra nature transformation. Combining the two creates another ninjutsu.

After serving the rice, Tatsuma sat down, but neither of them intended to eat. Tatsuma excitedly said, "Actually, these two ninjutsu can be broken down into several stages."

The first stage involves infusing chakra into the hair, a technique that purely tests chakra control. In this stage, we can also add the tree-climbing and water-walking exercises I mentioned before, further lowering the barrier to entry.

Minato nodded, and said with a hint of excitement, "The second stage is chakra activation of the body. Chakra is used to activate the scalp, hair follicles, etc., so that the hair can grow rapidly under the blessing of chakra."

This aligns with what Master Hepu taught: activating muscles by imbuing them with chakra, which temporarily increases muscle fiber elasticity, enhancing defensive capabilities or explosive power.

Tatsuma continued in perfect unison, saying, "The third stage is the transformation of chakra form, allowing chakra and hair to acquire properties such as hard needles or strong ropes."

I don't have a specific method for this yet, but we can reduce the difficulty of learning form transformations later by focusing on the subtle control of chakra in the first stage.

"The fourth stage is to combine the first three and use the seals to release the ninjutsu. The fifth stage is the application of ninjutsu and the practice of combat tactics."

In a few words, the two broke down the Needle Jizo and Lion's Mane Technique. The ninjutsu that were previously difficult to understand suddenly became clear. Tatsuma exclaimed in amazement:

"As expected of you, Minato, you actually came up with this kind of method for learning ninjutsu."

"No, I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't told me that chakra control could be trained by climbing trees and treading water, I wouldn't have thought of these methods."

After exchanging compliments, Tatsuma didn't receive any reward since no match was played, but he was still extremely happy.

Chenma suppressed his joy and elation, and said, "It just so happens that there's a holiday for more than a month, so we can put the tree climbing and wading training on the agenda and see if our idea is effective."

"Shall we go after we finish eating?"

"Okay, I'll go after I finish eating."

The two then remembered that they hadn't eaten the dinner they had prepared, so they picked up their bowls and began to eat.

Over the next month, in addition to regular training, the two also incorporated tree climbing and wading training, and of course, matches were also an essential part of the training.

Tatsuma enjoys training because the visible progress gives him immense motivation. Climbing trees and wading through water allows him to realize one or two points of his talent for patience and skill every day.

Regular training also allows him to realize his other talents, especially his speed talent. Since his talent reached the minimum standard of 1000 for Chunin, he can realize 2-3 points every day.

At the same time, the daily wins and the resulting increase in his potential made Chenma feel that the future was particularly bright. After all, his lower limit could make him stronger now, and his upper limit could make him stronger in the future.

After a vacation of more than a month, Tatsuma also acquired a second talent that reached the lower limit of Chunin, namely [Tank]. At the same time, the realization of [Ninjutsu] and [Spirit] also successfully exceeded 100, and he entered the ranks of Genin.

However, even when Tatsuma was not training, he would ask the ninjas who were also training in the training ground for advice, and even willingly act as their "target" for practicing illusion techniques, but his improvement was still quite limited.

In the month or so that Jiraiya returned to Konoha only once, and left after seeing the two walking on water with impressive skill. He didn't even have time to hear about the split learning method they had developed.

Tatsuma also spent his first New Year since arriving in the ninja world during the holiday, spending it with Minato. However, they didn't realize the New Year had arrived until they received a New Year's greeting and lucky money from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The holiday ended, and on the first day of the new semester, Chenma packed everything up and glanced at his system panel before heading out.

Aside from his genjutsu still being terrible, Tatsuma felt he was perfectly capable of graduating and becoming a genin. However, he didn't intend to graduate too early; at least, he wanted Minato to graduate first.

He wanted to continue taking advantage of Minato. As long as Minato was in the Ninja Academy, he was reluctant to leave. Tatsuma even hoped to be assigned to the same team in the future so that he could continue to take advantage of Minato.

Among the people Tatsuma frequently interacts with, Minato is extremely talented and has a great personality. Although he usually loses more matches than he wins against Tatsuma, Minato can calmly accept the next match.

However, Tatsuma can't control class assignments. He can only hope that Hiruzen Sarutobi will put him in the same class as Minato Namikaze because of their friendship. But it's too early to worry about that now.

Tatsuma was really looking forward to the second semester because he heard from the young genin in the training grounds that ninjutsu would be taught starting in the second semester of the first year.

Although they were just some E-rank ninjutsu, for Tatsuma, these were the simple ninjutsu he needed to realize his talent.

The E-rank ninjutsu taught at the Ninja Academy include the Escape Technique, the Cloak Invisibility Technique, and the Three Body Techniques, which are also known as the Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, and Transformation Technique.

However, considering that first-year students generally do not have very good control over chakra, the two E-rank ninjutsu taught to first-year students are the Escape Technique and the Cloak Invisibility Technique, both of which do not require chakra.

The technique of breaking free is actually of great significance because it not only teaches various methods of tying and untying knots, but also teaches ninjas how to dislocate and reassemble their joints.

It sounds like a very painful technique, but ninjas have to endure what ordinary people cannot. It's better to be exposed to pain and endure it early on than to be in unbearable pain from a single poke after becoming a ninja.

Having prepared everything, Tatsuma went out and jogged to Minato's apartment building. Minato was already there, smiling and waiting for him. Tatsuma waved and said, "As expected of you, Minato, up so early! Let's see who gets to school faster!"

"no problem!"
