Two days later, Seventh Training Ground.
"You've gotten stronger again, Sasuke."
Lin Ke released his hand, gasped for breath, and said sincerely.
This kid had no idea what was going on lately, but his Taijutsu and physical fitness had improved by leaps and bounds, as if there was no limit. His progress was so fast that he could now spar and practice with Lin Ke.
His Fire Release and Genjutsu had almost received the true teachings of Uchiha Fugaku, and he was also very skilled in using the Sharingan, comprehensively surpassing the Chunin level and touching the edge of Jonin.
And it had only been a few months.
Uchiha Sasuke's lips curled up, he deactivated his Sharingan, and then said, "Thanks to your technique." He casually didn't mention Kakashi's training in Lightning Release Chakra application.
After saying that, he glanced at Gaara, who was sitting on a rock in the distance watching everyone's training, and said, "What's wrong with that guy?"
"Even the feeling of Chakra is different."
"Probably untied a knot in his heart." Lin Ke moved his arms, easing the pain left on his body after the practice, and said, "Maybe it's like you."
Uchiha Sasuke was stunned for a moment, skipped the topic, and said, "You said you met Naruto in the Land of Rivers..."
"You're only willing to ask after training?" Lin Ke teased with a smile, looking at Sasuke, who wasn't too awkward mentioning his teammate, and said, "Don't worry, he's doing well, and he's also learned a very powerful technique."
Rasengan, the technique with the ultimate form transformation.
After eating ramen that day, Naruto couldn't wait to pull him over to demonstrate it, without any intention of hiding his *ultimate move*.
He knew the training process of this technique and had tried to practice it a long time ago, but he had been stuck in the third stage, which was to continuously release high-density Chakra in the palm of his hand to materialize it and destroy the rubber ball.
The reason for being stuck was simple. One was that completing the final Rasengan was too difficult. Naruto learned this thing very easily, but in reality, the difficulty was super high, so high that it was clearly written in the settings as very difficult.
As for the second reason for not succeeding in the practice, it was even simpler. When Lin Ke first tried to learn it, he didn't have enough Chakra at all. Rasengan was a Signless Ninjutsu that imitated the Tailed Beast Bomb, and the amount of Chakra required was super large. This technique could almost be said to be prepared specifically for Jinchuriki.
The amount of Chakra of ordinary people is absolutely not enough to meet the demand, and it cannot be used for regular combat.
Later, although his Chakra gradually became abundant, he didn't continue to practice it considering the ordinariness of the name Rasengan.
However, Rasengan also has a hidden requirement: a strong enough physical fitness.
High-density Chakra has weight, and after it is materialized, the weight is even more astonishing. When Four-Tails Naruto fought Orochimaru, he created a Tailed Beast Bomb and swallowed it, not only turning into a fox ball, but also almost unable to move. The Rasengan created by imitating the Tailed Beast Bomb was also very heavy.
So even if it is a Ninjutsu that can theoretically be thrown out, it is mostly released close to the face when used, for a simple reason—
It's too heavy.
The proper way to use it is to rush to the face, get close, create it instantly and press it down, using the acceleration of gravity to quickly hit the enemy, like Naruto's behavior of holding the Rasengan and screaming and rushing up...
Lin Ke didn't want to comment.
"A very powerful technique?" Uchiha Sasuke's eyes fluctuated, he hesitated slightly, and then said, "I also learned a very powerful technique, but it's Lightning Release..."
"There's no need to tell me about this." Lin Ke of course knew what he had learned, and interrupted him.
The Chidori technique is really not easy to steal. They see each other often, and if Sasuke steals it, he probably won't be able to get along well with Kakashi.
More importantly, this is Lightning Release, just like the reason why Lin Ke didn't practice Uchiha's Fire Release even though it was in his hands.
He is still working hard to overcome the nature transformation of Wind Release, and both Lightning and Fire will have to be put aside for later.
"Okay." Uchiha Sasuke responded, "I will be in the village for the next month. Kakashi said he wants to give us some time to practice."
Lin Ke nodded, turned his face and said, "Okay, then let's go back to the previous practice, and by the way, come to my house for dinner tonight."
Although the duration of his Rashomon is not particularly long, it should be enough for a meal.
After saying that, he used the Body Flicker Technique to leave. As a Jonin who has nothing to do in the village, after the daily practice, he should go to the Jonin waiting room.
After all, he is not a member of the Medical Team anymore, and there is no reason not to go. It's okay not to go occasionally, but it's not good if he's not there every day.
Becoming a Special Jonin doesn't seem particularly free.
...
Land of Rivers, a forest.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Four figures shuttled through the forest.
Soon they came to the outside of a stone cave. They stopped, and the snake hanging on the treetop spat out its tongue, its vertical pupils swept over the four people, and finally stopped on the huge wooden barrel carried on the back of the fat man in the middle.
Not long after, a sound of footsteps approached, and soon Orochimaru's pale and SenSen face was revealed.
He glanced almost imperceptibly towards the direction his four subordinates were coming from, and said, "Send the Original Body in." As he spoke, he even made a suggestive gesture.
The four didn't say a word, their eyes only changed slightly, and they walked straight past him into the base.
...
"Rustle~" The person holding Yakushi Kabuto landed on a tree.
"Long time no see, Sasori," Orochimaru asked with a smile, "So, Kabuto was captured by you?"
"You took my subordinate without permission..." Sasori used the best puppet from his spare bodies, wearing a black cloak with red clouds, a hood covering his face, revealing only a pair of indifferent eyes, and said calmly, "Orochimaru, you are really bold."
"I'm sorry, Lord Orochimaru, I accidentally attracted Lin Ke's attention, which led to the fall of the base."
Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, "I tried to persuade Sasori to cooperate with you, but it seems like a pity..."
"Is that so?" Orochimaru received the information conveyed by the other party and smiled, "So, are you here to return Kabuto to me?"
"Hand over the organization's ring." Sasori calmly made the request.
Orochimaru looked up at the clay bird flying in the sky, "Is that your new partner? Seems like an unreliable brat."
"Chi~ Boom!" The Kunai on the stone wall beside him exploded because of the Exploding Tag attached to it, as if it had sent out a signal, and the two instantly took action.
"Ding! Crack~"
Orochimaru, who had used Earth Release to get to Sasori's side, cut off a dozen wooden arms that Sasori had summoned to attack with a single sword.
"The strength seems to have decreased a lot, Sasori."
Orochimaru thoughtfully raised his sword, "Using such a puppet to deal with me..."
"It seems you also suffered quite a bit at the hands of Lin Ke."
