I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 135 Open and Covert Struggles [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Under the waterfall.

Uchiha Yoru brought a basket of balloons and appeared directly in front of the three women. At this time, he was unaware that a battle had just taken place there.

Looking at the three women, Uchiha Yoru said solemnly, "You should all have heard of this ninjutsu. It is the Rasengan, an A-rank ninjutsu created by the Fourth Hokage without a hand seal."

"Rasengan!" The three women were all astonished upon hearing this. They had naturally heard of this ninjutsu, but what was the relationship between the Fourth Hokage and Uchiha Yoru? Why did Yoru know this ninjutsu?

Seeing the three women's suspicious and puzzled expressions, Uchiha Yoru explained in a low voice.

"The Rasengan without seal is an extremely special ninjutsu. It is almost a rare non-attribute ninjutsu among A-rank ninjutsu. It was developed by Orochimaru himself after the Fourth Hokage used it, so it cannot be considered as stealing it."

Before the addition of chakra nature transformation, the A-rank ninjutsu Rasengan is purely a chakra body, so the statement that learning Rasengan requires wind-style characteristics is incorrect.

A Rasengan incorporating chakra properties, such as the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken from the original manga, requires wind properties.

"Lord Orochimaru!"

Upon hearing that this ninjutsu was exactly the same as the one Orochimaru had developed himself based on the Fourth Hokage's ninjutsu, Kurenai Yuhi and Yugao Uzuki couldn't help but gasp in shock.

They're from the same village, and they figured out your ninjutsu on their own. You can't really call it stealing; you can only say they copied it. Besides, one of them is a deceased Hokage, and the other has a rather special identity. What right do they have to comment on this?

Moreover, it seemed that Kurenai Yuhi and Yugao Uzuki also knew something about the situation, so after their initial shock, they did not mention the name of the person for whom a gag order had been issued in the village.

Upon hearing the name, Mitarashi Anko's cheerful smile gradually froze, eventually turning into a gloomy expression. She couldn't help but let out a cold snort. Her heart was filled with complex emotions: the cold-bloodedness of her teacher when he cast the curse on her, and the pain of severing everything in the village.

The idol she once admired chose to sever ties with the village, and she chose to abandon her teacher for the sake of the village, after which the teacher was expelled.

The naturally cheerful and straightforward Mitarashi Anko encountered a complex and slightly lost feeling that no other ninja could comprehend.

However, when she looked up and saw Uchiha Yoru's serious and concerned gaze, Mitarashi Anko immediately revealed a strange, possessive, and yandere-like emotion.

Night! With the night, what used to be a nightmare is now enough.

After experiencing a series of setbacks, Mitarashi Anko seems to have developed a morbid psychological dependence on Uchiha Yoru, who rescued her from the darkness.

"Alright, I'll teach you this ninjutsu. Don't think it's that simple. Although the Rasengan doesn't require any specific chakra attribute, it does require extremely strong chakra control, as well as a significant amount of chakra consumption!"

The last question was crucial. Uchiha Yoru looked at the three women solemnly and said in a deep voice, "The Rasengan and Kakashi's Chidori are ninjutsu of the same level, requiring about the same amount of chakra. For a ninja, the proportion of chakra required by this ninjutsu is extremely high."

Rasengan! Don't think it's simple just because the protagonist in the original work can easily make a Rasengan. He's from the Uzumaki clan and a Jinchuriki. What he possesses isn't called chakra, it's called chatonla, which is incomparable.

During the Chunin Exams in the original manga, Kakashi solemnly warned Sasuke that he could only release Chidori twice a day. Considering Sasuke's age and strength, he was at the Chunin level. Therefore, it can be deduced that a Chunin's chakra is equivalent to two A-rank ninjutsu.

As for Sasuke's final burst of power, unleashing the third Chidori, let's just say it's the protagonist's power spike. Running out of chakra is life-threatening. (Kakashi died from chakra exhaustion during the Pain battle.)

Rasengan and Chidori are ninjutsu of the same level, requiring roughly the same amount of chakra, so his seriousness was not fake at all. After all, the protagonist's overpowered life is inexplicable; they are just normal people.

After hearing Uchiha Yoru's solemn warning, Uzuki Yugao hesitated for a moment. She had already learned so many advanced ninjutsu, and feeling increasingly guilty, she couldn't help but raise her head and weakly say, "Lord Yoru, if this ninjutsu will cause you trouble, then I won't learn it."

"So pretentious!" Seeing Yugao Uzuki's pitiful appearance, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes flashed with a cold light. She was so angry that she almost exploded. Good heavens, it hasn't been long, and these people are all scheming.

When Uchiha Yoru saw that Uzuki Yugao wanted to refuse because of her guilt, he pretended to be serious and said, "Alright, these things are not for you to worry about. This place is a battlefield now. No one can protect you on the battlefield. Only you can survive by using your own strength."

"Uzuki Yugao, you come from a commoner background and are skilled in swordsmanship. You often engage in close combat with your enemies. Similarly, the Mist Ninja are also extremely skilled in swordsmanship. At the same level, men have greater strength and stamina than you. In a critical moment, a single A-rank ninjutsu without a hand seal can save your life."

Although Uchiha Yoru spoke in an extremely stiff tone, as if giving an order, the guilt and self-reproach in Uzuki Yugao's heart, with her head bowed, made her feel suffocated. He was worried about his life, while she herself had approached him with some kind of purpose.

In fact, she was the enemy, a spy lurking beside him, a heinous female spy.

After speaking to Uzuki Yugao, without caring about her inner turmoil, Uchiha Yoru turned to look at Yuhi Kurenai and said again in a deep voice, "Kurenai, your genjutsu is too one-dimensional. If you encounter a ninja who has a counter to it, your combat power will be greatly reduced. Therefore, you need to use other methods. You need to train your taijutsu evasion and shuriken and hidden weapons more. At the same time, I hope that you will never have to use this ninjutsu in your entire life."

When a genjutsu ninja uses the A-rank ninjutsu Rasengan, it means she has been brought into close combat, which is extremely dangerous.

When the alluring and mature Kurenai saw Uchiha Yoru's concern, a smile slowly crept onto her lips. After knowing each other for so many years, they could understand each other with just a glance.

"Night, don't worry, I won't hold you back."

With a confident smile, the intellectually beautiful Kurenai Yuhi, though her mind was filled with countless thoughts, knew exactly what kind of person Uchiha Yoru needed by his side.

She had to become strong to become the woman behind him. After all, there was still the Third Hokage's order to monitor her. Thinking of this, Kurenai felt a heavy pressure in her heart. She had to become a Jonin, or even stronger, so that she could stand behind Yoru and then she would have the right to say to the Hokage that Yoru was fine and that his love for the village was no less.

"And then there's you, Anko." When Anko was mentioned, the sickly look hidden in her eyes made Uchiha Yoru sigh softly, but Anko grinned and showed an innocent smile, "Yoru, don't worry, I'll definitely be the first to learn the Rasengan."

Sure enough, this personality is very much like Anko's. Uchiha Yoru also showed a relieved smile. "Anko, your talent lies in the sheer amount of chakra you possess. I've told you before that you are a ninjutsu-type ninja. You have the control of snake-style ninjutsu, the extremely high long-range damage of fire-style ninjutsu, and the Rasengan can perfectly complement your close-combat abilities."

After analyzing the situation of the three women, Uchiha Yoru extended his palm in front of them. A whirlwind-like force rose from his palm, and under his deliberate manipulation, a leaf spun continuously above his palm, faster and faster, until finally a visible blue chakra sphere appeared.

The calm blue Rasengan spun in his palm, and the intense, dense chakra made the three women exclaim in amazement. An A-rank, hand seal-less ninjutsu was definitely an ultimate jutsu, extremely precious. They weren't stupid; how could they not know how precious this ninjutsu was? Naturally, they cherished this opportunity.

"The Rasengan was inspired by the Tailed Beast Ball by the Fourth Hokage. Chakra is concentrated in the palm of the hand, flowing in irregular directions and being compressed to form a palm-sized ball of neutral chakra. Its learning difficulty is among the highest in the A-rank category. And its power!"

As he said this, Uchiha Yoru looked at the three women with a confident smile. In front of them, the Rasengan lightly touched the tree. The powerful chakra friction caused a hole to appear in the tree, and the tree was torn to pieces. With another force, the tree was not only snapped in half, but the powerful force also caused the broken tree stump to spin and fly backward.

With a deafening roar, the immense power shocked the three women. Only after witnessing it firsthand did they realize the true power of the Rasengan, and this was not even at full strength.

A smile appeared on Uchiha Yoru's face, and the Rasengan in his palm slowly dissipated into a whirlwind as he withdrew his chakra.

"In terms of power, it is difficult for any flesh and blood body without defense to survive being hit. Of course, there are all kinds of strange abilities in the ninja world, so you must not be careless."

At this point, Uchiha Yoru seemed to recall the various ninjas in the original story who had taken the ball, and he said with a solemn expression, "I have encountered several ninjas with strange abilities who have taken this ninjutsu without any problems. Of course, ordinary ninjas who take it head-on will either die or be seriously injured."

"Now for the first step." Uchiha Yoru smiled jokingly and pointed to a basket of balloons. "There's a waterfall here, perfect for filling them with water."

"Place a water-filled balloon in your palm. Use your control to release chakra through your palm. Use the water balloon to create a flow of chakra. The chakra gathers and condenses in your palm while rotating. In other words, the chakra rotates steadily and bursts the water balloon."

At the same time, a water-filled sphere appeared in his palm. In front of the three women, Uchiha Yoru demonstrated it directly. The water sphere in his palm began to tremble, and the water inside began to spin rapidly under the influence of chakra. When the speed of the spin exceeded a certain limit, the water sphere burst with a bang, splashing water everywhere.

"It's that simple. Now you can keep practicing."

Uchiha Yoru raised his head and smiled, but froze the next moment as the splashing water from the bursting water sphere wet the chests of the three women who were looking at them, revealing their barely visible outlines.

The water balloon burst, wetting the clothes and revealing the faint outlines of three pairs of water balloons!

Anko Mitarashi truly lives up to her reputation as the second Tsunade; at such a young age, she already possesses a voluptuous figure. Kurenai Yuhi, on the other hand, is just right, as if any more or less would be too much or too little—a perfect balance.

Uzuki Yugao, perhaps because of her commoner background, seems to be a little less nutritious than the other two, but she gives off the visual impression of a firm, unripe peach, feeling like something you could hold in your hand.

"Well, you guys focus on your training, I'm going to practice my swordsmanship."

Seeing the awkward scene, Uchiha Yoru almost forgot that the three women were women, and accidentally wet their clothes.

However, after Uchiha Yoru left awkwardly, the three women looked at each other with different expressions in their eyes.

Mitarashi Anko, like a victorious little princess, proudly tilted her head back, revealing a pair of adorable fangs beneath her grinning face.

"Sister Hong, look, this ball seems a bit small."

Mitarashi Anko, holding a ball, seemed to have grown up, but with her clumsy acting, the outline of her chest made the ball in her hand seem a bit small compared to its size.

Seeing Anko's youthful provocation, Kurenai revealed her sophisticated and mature demeanor, confidently chuckled, picked up a water balloon, and shook her head with a smile, saying, "The size depends on your hand, doesn't it? Back in the Ninja Academy, Yoru was obsessed with you."

Good grief, seeing Kurenai Yuhi's revelation, Mitarashi Anko puffed out her cute cheeks in anger, revealing her two little tiger teeth in a threatening manner, giving off a wildcat vibe as she glared at Kurenai Yuhi.

"Sister Hong, if I remember correctly, it was you who used your gold necklace back then!"

Before Mitarashi Anko could finish collecting the items, Yuhi Kurenai laughed without any attempt to hide her feelings, saying, "Yes, Yoru once said that either I would support him, or he would support me. It seems I won't have to worry about that in the future."

With her eyes half-closed, Kurenai Yuhi revealed the demeanor of a caring older sister, which immediately made Anko Mitarashi snort coldly in anger. Uzuki Yugao, on the other hand, lowered her head and became the person with the least presence. She slowly took out a water ball, found a shady spot under a tree, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate.

Looking at Kurenai and Anko, Uzuki Yugao felt guilty and remorseful, but she also secretly cheered herself up. "You're the best. When the Third Hokage knows about Yoru's love for the village, I'll give up everything and stay by Yoru's side to atone for my sins. Even if I never get a title for the rest of my life, it will be what I deserve."

She needs to atone!

Anko Mitarashi is a disciple of Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin. Kurenai Yuhi's father was a renowned Jonin skilled in genjutsu, inheriting her father's abilities.

Compared to the two, Uzuki Yugao has no advantage whatsoever. She is equally beautiful, and more importantly, she has a different background.

Uzuki Yugao was filled with guilt and self-blame. She was a spy who had infiltrated the area and had betrayed his trust. However, he had risked pressure to teach them powerful ninjutsu, only wanting them to survive. This trust made her feel even more guilty.

Kurenai Yuhi was also heartbroken. She was strong-willed and unwilling to admit defeat, but she carried the trust of the Third Hokage. Although she knew that Yoru was innocent, her motives were no longer pure.

If it were up to Kurenai's personality, she would definitely have spoken up in this situation, but it was because of this guilt that she became meek and remorseful.

Neither Kurenai nor Yuuga knew the other's identity. Meanwhile, Anko Mitarashi, the only one innocent and without any ulterior motives, revealed a fighting spirit determined to win.

Mitarashi Anko excitedly practiced the ninjutsu, holding a water ball and showing her cute little fangs. "The night belongs to me. I'm a genius. I'll be the first to learn this ninjutsu. The night will definitely praise me."

The thought of being the first to learn ninjutsu and then smiling and praising her, followed by stroking her little head, made Mitarashi Anko's face flush red, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

At this moment, Hongdou was unaware of the changes in her mind. She was like a little wildcat eager to please her owner and receive praise and comfort. She was also very fond of sleeping next to her owner, smelling the familiar scent and hugging the warm body temperature.

Please support me.
