Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

"About two years ago, during a practical assessment, I saw Asuma condense his chakra to a high degree and stably attach it to his two blades when he was fighting his opponent, forming blue glowing chakra blades with astonishing power."

Shinichi recalled:

"At that time, I was thinking, since chakra can be so highly concentrated in a weapon, is it possible... to compress and condense it directly in the palm of the hand without the aid of external objects, forming a completely new type of ninjutsu that can be activated barehanded?"

Asma?

Highly cohesive?

The Third Hokage suddenly remembered the pair of chakra blades he had given his son as a birthday present—Shinichimonji.

Immediately, a sense of lingering fear and reproach arose in his heart: This child was too bold!

Asuma used a specially made chakra metal blade as a carrier and guide; he actually dared to directly use his flesh and blood to attempt to simulate that high-density chakra transformation. If he didn't control it well...

Although his mind was racing, the Third Hokage maintained a calm expression and did not interrupt Shinichi, but continued to listen attentively.

"After having this idea, I started to try it. At first, it was very simple. I tried to gather chakra in my palm, but it was scattered and formless, without any power. Then I thought that chakra needs to be restrained and have a form... So I tried using a water sphere. Inside the closed water sphere, I made the chakra move violently and disorderly until the water sphere burst open from the inside."

The Third Hokage nodded slightly. This first step was a clear and correct approach, touching upon the basics of chakra form transformation.

"After successfully creating the water ball, I felt it lacked stability. So I switched to a more durable leather ball, aiming to maintain a certain amount of chakra output and make it materialize in my palm, continuously impacting the inside of the leather ball until it burst. This stage took a long time and required very precise control," Shinichi continued.

"After the ball was successfully used," he paused, seemingly recalling the predicament at the time, "I felt that something was still missing, and it always seemed to be separated from the stable cohesion I had imagined. Later... I thought of using a harder iron ball."

Iron ball?

So that's how it is. Only then did the Third Hokage understand why this child, whom he had been paying close attention to, had suddenly developed the habit of playing with an iron ball more than a year ago.

He had initially thought it was just a diligent way to train finger and wrist dexterity and assist in hand seal formation, but it turned out there was a deeper purpose behind it.

This child's talent far exceeds my expectations.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, the Third Generation stated calmly and affirmatively:

"I see. To draw inspiration from observation, dare to put it into practice, and even come up with such a gradual cultivation method is a very valuable quality and talent."

He changed the subject, "However, Shinichi, from my observation, the first Rasengan you showed, the size of a fist, has actually achieved a very stable and exquisite balance in terms of chakra shape changes and control. It can be said that your ninjutsu is already very mature and successful."

"Mature? Successful?" Shinichi's face showed obvious surprise and confusion, as if he had never expected to receive this evaluation.

Seeing his reaction, the Third Hokage immediately understood the crux of the matter and couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head: "It seems, Shinichi, you've misunderstood something. In your view, the larger Rasengan in the back and the smaller Rasengan in the front are two forms of the same technique, or rather, the former is an unfinished product, and the latter is a finished product that you strengthened to make up for its shortcomings, right?"

"Two ninjutsu? But the Third Hokage..." Shinichi frowned, his face full of confusion, and he explained urgently:

"That small Rasengan, while powerful, doesn't condense quickly enough and has a limited attack range. In my opinion, its flaws are obvious, and it can't be considered a successful ninjutsu that can be used in actual combat. That's why I was thinking about whether I could forcibly expand its size and range of influence by injecting more chakra to cover up these shortcomings, but it's too unstable."

The Third Hokage listened quietly as he finished speaking, his smile gentle and wise, and slowly shook his head.

"Shinichi, this isn't a problem with the technique itself." His voice was calm, yet carried a convincing power: "The problem is, you're still too young."

Shinichi was slightly taken aback.

"Your total chakra reserves are still insufficient compared to the requirements of this technique. Your mastery of chakra control is also still developing." The Third Hokage patiently explained, recounting the principles of this ninjutsu:

"As you grow older and your body and mind mature further, your chakra reserves will naturally increase, and your control will improve with training and experience. At that time, you will be able to condense it faster in battle, and even achieve near-instantaneous release. And that larger Rasengan, with the increase in chakra and the improvement in your control, will eventually become stable and controllable."

He paused, his eyes revealing a glimmer of hope for the future, and his tone carrying a hint of encouragement:

"Furthermore, based on this Rasengan, when your understanding of chakra nature transformation is deep enough, you can try to infuse it with nature transformations of wind, fire, and other chakra attributes. At that time, the Rasengan will truly transform into an ultimate S-rank ninjutsu! I have high hopes for you on this path."

Shinichi's initial confusion was gradually replaced by realization and shock, which then transformed into a burning sense of encouragement. He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, "I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Third Hokage. I will continue to work hard and move in that direction!"

The Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction. But then his expression turned slightly serious, and he earnestly advised, "Shinichi, you are a rare genius, full of creativity and courage to put things into practice, which is excellent. However, independently developing high-level ninjutsu, especially those involving high-density chakra transformations, carries extremely high risks."

"If you have new ideas in the future, or encounter difficulties in your cultivation, don't always bury yourself in your own work. You can consult your teachers at school, the elders in your village, and if you really encounter problems you can't solve..."

The Third Hokage looked into his eyes and said gently but clearly, "...You can also ask me."

..........

That evening, in the Hokage's office.

"You'll regret this!"

boom!

No one knows why Danzo Shimura, the advisor, met with the Hokage. All that is known is that, faced with a certain request from him, the Third Hokage became genuinely angry, showing no mercy and telling him to get out without any room for negotiation.

A few days later, Minato Namikaze, who had just returned home from a mission, was approached by Jiraiya in Konoha.

"Minato, I heard there's a child whose idea coincides with yours... he..."

Jiraiya recounted the story of how Shinichi Higashino developed the Rasengan, while Minato Namikaze listened quietly, his eyes gradually filled with surprise and admiration.

After listening, he exclaimed sincerely, "That child is truly a remarkable genius. However... while the name Rasengan is quite good, it doesn't seem quite fitting."

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, asking with interest, "Oh? So what do you think it should be called?"

Minato Namikaze pondered for a moment, his eyes gleaming, and said, word by word, "Shinichi Higashino's Light Blade Activation - Dancing Roar Spiral Ball."

"Hmm...we should add 'super' in the middle—Higashino Shinichi Light Blade Launch: Super Dance Roar Spiral Ball."

Jiraiya: "..."
