Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Konoha Village, Fifth Training Ground.

Splash!

Waterfalls, like jade dragons, crashed down from the surface of the water with thunderous roars, creating large and small whirlpools that spun endlessly.

In the center of the pool, in water nearly thirty meters deep, Shinichi stood silently with his eyes closed and his hands hanging down.

Suddenly, Shinichi raised an eyebrow, and his calm aura abruptly changed.

He slowly leaned forward, his arms hanging naturally, his posture relaxed to the point of laziness, as if he were just casually adjusting his stance. Yet, the muscles in his shoulders and back had already subtly tightened, like a cheetah poised to pounce, every line concealing the deadly danger before its prey.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud exploded at the bottom of the pool. The moment he slammed his foot into the bottom of the pool, the force penetrated the mud and sand, causing the surrounding water to boil instantly. Countless originally chaotic whirlpools were shaken to shrink rapidly and then suddenly spread outward.

His body was like a spring that had been compressed to its limit, suddenly released, with his waist as the central axis, and a powerful force rose up from the soles of his feet.

The energy is transmitted from the calf muscles to the thigh, then amplified by the twisting force of the waist and abdomen, climbing up the spine to the shoulder blade, and finally being poured into the right fist!

He transformed into a black lightning bolt, shooting upwards with the sharp force to tear through the water.

As he ascended, he used his right fist as a starting point to rotate his entire body in a circular motion. The viscous resistance of the deep water was cleverly neutralized by this rotation, and the water flow followed the trajectory of his fist, drawing a silvery, ribbon-like arc.

Clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation, as if the thirty-meter-deep water was not an obstacle, but rather a vessel for the flow of his power.

The water in front of the fist had begun to tremble violently, and it was only a moment away from the bright surface of the water.

But no more than half a foot from the water's surface, the splashing water had already reached his nose. Suddenly, Shinichi released his strength, and the tense muscles in his body instantly relaxed. The sharp force that had been tearing through the water vanished without a trace, and he let the rushing water envelop his body, slowly falling like a leaf.

The mud and sand at the bottom of the pool had not yet settled due to the ripples he had created earlier. When he landed back in place, he lightly rubbed the ground with his feet to steady himself. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze reflecting the shimmering water above, and began to silently review the unfinished punch he had just delivered.

He is developing a new ninjutsu technique.

Previously, he had created the Flame Shuriken – Dark Fist – by reducing the rotation and extreme compression of the Great Flame Rasengan.

He also combined the superhuman strength techniques taught by Tsunade to create his own Flame Fist – Ara-giri.

Now, he was thinking about how to surround himself with flames, which reminded him of the ultimate taijutsu technique taught by Teacher Chen—the Leaf Dragon God.

This technique requires the user's body to rotate at high speed in a spiral, forming a tornado-like azure dragon shape. The attack trajectory, which spirals upwards and is combined with the wind blades around the user, is incredibly powerful.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious. It requires hundreds of rotations to build up momentum, and the lead time is too long. The eye center formed by the high-speed rotation is itself a huge flaw.

Ever since he learned this move, he has been pondering a question.

"Could you reduce the number of rotations?"

"Even just one lap?"

However, the powerful force of the Leaf Dragon God comes precisely from the inertial kinetic energy accumulated from hundreds of rotations in an instant.

After much deliberation, Shinichi finally focused on increasing chakra output, combining the unique technique of "concentrated compression and instantaneous burst" of Super Strength with the rotating form of "Konoha Dragon God" and the unique chakra spiral state of Rasengan.

"Inertia... my thinking is correct! Since we're going to abandon the body for a hundred rotations, let the chakra rotate in place of the body, in the form of a Rasengan!"

The moment the thought settled, Shinichi's previously vague idea suddenly became clear in three steps.

Step 1 – Getting Started!

His body tensed up again, and his chakra surged towards his feet like a tide. Using the superhuman strength techniques taught by Tsunade, he forcibly compressed and condensed it into a solid ball of blue light.

Bang!

The mud and sand surged upwards again, and the body was violently propelled upwards by this sudden burst of force, with a speed even faster than before when the force was not withdrawn!

This step perfectly replaces the initial acceleration required for rotation with a compressed burst of chakra.

Step Two – Pooling Strength!

As he rose to the middle of the pool, he suddenly exerted force in his waist and abdomen, performing a precise half-circle twist. His muscles bulged slightly under the impetus of his superhuman strength technique, and the chakra surging in his meridians poured into his right fist like rivers flowing into the sea, causing a warm blue light to emanate from his fist.

This half-circle twist has no extra movements; it is purely to allow the force to form a twisting inertia, but it concentrates the force into a single point more directly and rapidly than a hundred-circle rotation.

Step 3 – Shaping!

Almost simultaneously with the gathering of power in his fist, his released chakra began to swirl around his body, enveloped in the surrounding water. Without the high-speed rotation of his body, this chakra, through its compressed and explosive force, forcefully created a beautiful spiral of airflow along the direction of his fist.

Although not as grand as the original tornado, it was more refined and sharp. The water was churned into fine blades, drawing silvery trails around him. This was a perfect replica of the unique wind blade cutting power of the Leaf Village Dragon God, using a spiral of chakra instead of the spiral of his body.

Whoosh!

The next second, he burst out of the water like a black lightning bolt, splashing water everywhere, and landed steadily on the rocks on the shore.

Water dripped from his clothes and hair, forming a small puddle on the ground, but Zhenyi was completely unaware. He still had his right fist hanging down, his eyes slightly closed, repeatedly replaying every inch of the trajectory of his punch in his mind.

It doesn't rely on hundreds of overlapping rotations; a half-turn twist acts as the fuse, replacing rotational inertia with a burst of incredible force...

"Replacing a hundred laps with one lap, replacing a hundred styles with one style..." He slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "Once it's fully developed, perhaps it can be called the Hundred Styles..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he stopped himself from speaking.

"Let's call it Rising Dragon for now."

Compared to the authentic Konoha Dragon God, the Rising Dragon's charging time is more than ten times shorter, making it almost instantaneous in battle, and completely eliminating the fatal flaw of the Eye of the Storm.

Of course, the flaws are also obvious: the chakra consumption is about the same as the original, but the power is much weaker than the genuine Konoha Dragon God.

However, these are minor issues.

First, he doesn't care much about chakra consumption now. His own foundation, along with the various affinities, the powerful recovery from [Endless Life], and the efficient absorption of food energy from [Gourmet], are enough to support this kind of consumption.

Secondly, his technique has not yet been fully developed. The current Rising Dragon is just an incomplete form that lays the foundation. It is a technique that relies purely on the combination of Dragon God Body Technique and Super Strength to form a humanoid Rasengan. There is a lot of room for further refinement, and its final power is far beyond what can be estimated at this moment.

Moreover, in his plan, improving the Leaf Village Dragon God was only the first step; the next step was to integrate fire-style chakra nature transformation.

At that time, "Rising Dragon" will be completely transformed. The fist will not only bring forth condensed wind blades, but also raging flames wrapped around the spiraling airflow. The wind will fuel the fire, and the fire will borrow the power of the wind, instantly forming a raging tornado that will burn everything.

This is no longer a simple physical technique, but a true ninjutsu, his third ninjutsu technique. At that time, "Rising Dragon" will no longer be "Rising Dragon".

It's "Oni-yaki"!
