RNP Chapter 13 Captain Minato Namikaze
Chapter 13 Captain Minato Namikaze
Compared to the towering Saito Hisao, Kyosuke was very short, but Kyosuke's strength and speed far surpassed those of his peers, which greatly alarmed Saito Hisao.
In his heart, Saito Hisao felt that Kyosuke possessed the strength of a genin and had already passed the test.
Unfortunately, Kyosuke wanted more than just passing; he wanted outstanding results.
"Whirlpool Palm!!"
Kyosuke ducked to avoid Saito Hisao's attack, then condensed chakra in his right hand, spinning it into a violent stream of air, like a raging storm, and pressed it directly against Saito Hisao's abdomen.
More than a year ago, Kyosuke and the other four wanted to develop the Rasengan, but they were unsuccessful. Fortunately, they were all good at adapting. Since they couldn't master the Rasengan, they lowered the difficulty and decided not to control the chakra into a sphere, but to directly turn it into a chaotic gale, which would still have considerable power.
With a loud bang, Saito Hisao was sent flying, his abdomen wracked with pain. He lay on the ground, staring at Kyosuke in disbelief.
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"
Kyosuke smiled and said, "This is a new ninjutsu I developed, Whirlpool Palm."
"That's amazing. This ninjutsu has the power of C-rank or even B-rank. Kyosuke, you are a genius."
Naohiro Takahara was also shocked to see Kyosuke, never expecting that a kid who had only been in school for a few months could create ninjutsu.
"I will report your performance to the village. Just wait for orders."
Saito Hisao stood up and left, marking the end of the assessment.
The next day, Kakashi and Kyosuke graduated from the academy and became official genin, assigned to Team 19 led by Minato Namikaze.
Upon receiving the news, Kyosuke told the others through a dream, and everyone was very excited.
After this period of rigorous training, Chisuke's skin became darker and his demeanor more composed. He said earnestly, "Minato Namikaze is not only a reliable leader, but also a powerful ninja. You can learn a lot of ninjutsu from him."
Mi Shouze then brought up another aspect: "Now that you are Minato Namikaze's subordinate, you are considered part of the Hokage's faction, which will make things much easier for you in the future, and you may even have the qualifications to compete for the Hokage position."
Ooka Shinya was also very happy: "I feel like I'm getting stronger even faster lately. It seems we're about to enter a period of rapid growth. I found traces of the Akatsuki organization a few days ago, and I believe we'll be able to find them soon."
Kiichiro thought for a moment and said, "Kyosuke, Minato Namikaze not only knows a lot of ninjutsu, but also sealing techniques, summoning techniques, and sage techniques. He is a great treasure. You should plan carefully. Sigh, if Minato Namikaze hadn't died so young, you could have gained even more benefits."
Kyosuke's eyes gleamed as he slowly said, "That's not necessarily true. The stronger we are, the greater our influence on the outside world will be, and the more the future of the Naruto world will change. Perhaps, Minato Namikaze won't die on the night of the Nine-Tails."
Mikami shrugged: "I hope so. The longer Minato Namikaze lives, the more advantageous it will be for you as a direct descendant of the Hokage."
The next day, Class 19 assembled.
When they met, besides Kakashi, Kyosuke also met another teammate, a genin named Hyuga Noriko, a girl with short hair and a black headband, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a dimple when she smiled, who graduated as a genin this year.
"Haha, hello everyone, I'm your instructor, Jonin Minato Namikaze. From now on, we're comrades. Let's introduce ourselves."
Minato Namikaze smiled brightly, looking like a friendly older brother next door, his golden hair gleaming in the sunlight.
Kyosuke thought to himself jokingly that with such eye-catching hair, Minato Namikaze must have a harder time hiding himself than others.
Kakashi introduced himself as "Kakashi Hatake, skilled in swordsmanship and some basic ninjutsu. My goal is a 100% mission completion rate."
Hyuga Noriko smiled and said, "I am Hyuga Noriko. I am skilled in reconnaissance and Gentle Fist, and I am currently learning medical ninjutsu. I heard that two geniuses will be coming today. Don't worry, I won't hold you back."
In the anime, Minato Namikaze's disciple, Noriko Hyuga, is not included. Perhaps she was originally present but did not appear, perhaps Noriko Hyuga died early, or perhaps the story was altered due to Kyosuke's butterfly effect.
Whatever the reason, Kyosuke didn't really care.
When it was Kyosuke's turn to speak, he said frankly, "My name is Uesugi Kyosuke. I am skilled in taijutsu, but I know very few ninjutsu and I don't know genjutsu. My goal is to become Hokage and the first Hokage from a commoner background."
Upon hearing Kyosuke's ambition, everyone looked at him in surprise, especially Kakashi, his classmate, who had no idea that Kyosuke had such thoughts.
Noriko Hyuga encouraged him, saying, "Then you have to do your best!"
Minato Namikaze reached out and ruffled Kyosuke's hair, saying with a smile, "Kyosuke, you're a genin now. If you want to become Hokage, you must first become a chunin, and then a jonin. The process is very difficult."
Kyosuke confidently raised his head and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely succeed. But teacher, I come from a commoner background and don't know any ninjutsu. Could you teach me?"
As he spoke, Kyosuke became grinning and looked at Minato Namikaze with longing.
Minato Namikaze wasn't annoyed at all, and still said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know a lot of ninjutsu. You'll have plenty of opportunities to learn, hahaha. But let's test our chakra attributes first."
Minato Namikaze wasn't exaggerating. As Jiraiya's disciple, he was able to learn many ninjutsu, including forbidden techniques that were difficult for ordinary people to access. If he made a request, the Konoha leadership would provide the necessary assistance.
This is the advantage of having a direct line of kin.
With Minato Namikaze's guidance, Kyosuke's training became more scientific and efficient, and he also had the opportunity to learn more ninjutsu.
In particular, Minato Namikaze took it even more seriously after testing revealed that Kyosuke possessed chakra with all five elements: wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth. He hoped that Kyosuke could change his past training method that focused on taijutsu and pay more attention to ninjutsu training so as not to waste his talent.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
On a rare sunny day in the Land of Rain, Ooka Shin formed hand seals and spat out a giant fireball.
"Having a good teacher makes all the difference; in just one month, I was able to learn several ninjutsu techniques."
After finishing his training, Ooka Shin returned to the village, entered a courtyard, and saw Masao cooking and Kanae crawling around in her crib.
"I have to go out for a while. I have prepared plenty of food at home. If you need anything, you can ask our neighbor, Aunt Huili. I have asked her to take care of you. Also, if you encounter any danger, hide in the secret room as I taught you."
Masao was a little worried, but he still said, "Please rest assured, I will wait for you to come back."
After making arrangements for Masao and his sister, Ooka Shin spent a day traveling to a town that was being looted.
"Damn Akatsuki! They said we weren't allowed to harm civilians, yet they killed several of our people! I'm going to kill those civilians anyway!!!"
"That's right, kill them all and see what the Akatsuki can do to us!"
"Stop talking nonsense and just take the money."
"After this job, we can't stay in the Land of Rain anymore. Neither the Rain Ninja nor the Akatsuki will let us go. Let's go to the Land of Fire; the environment there is better."
"That's Konoha territory, it's not safe. Let's go to the Land of Rivers or the Land of Birds, there aren't any strong ninjas there."
In the town, a dozen rogue ninjas killed civilians and looted a lot of valuables. Flames and wails were everywhere. Just as they were about to leave, they were encountered by Ooka Shin.
