The second year of school wasn't much different from the first.
The cultural subjects remained the same, but the difficulty level was higher.
In the afternoon, there was no longer physical education. By now, the students who hadn't been expelled were clearly already able to extract chakra. As long as they followed the curriculum and managed to get through the six years, they would either become Chuunin recognized by the village and focused on by the village for special training, or they would become the fresh forces in other departments.
The chances of wasting six years and returning to an ordinary life were extremely slim.
The next five years would be focused on teaching them how to gather intelligence and the skills of assassination.
These subjects were no challenge for Kenjiro, and could even be considered boring.
After only a few days of attending classes, he couldn't help but reconsider his original plans. He once again sent a shadow clone to attend the classes while he himself stayed at home to train.
Although he couldn't practice the Five Elements Release at home, he could try developing ninjutsu.
Developing ninjutsu requires a strong foundation in nature transformation or form transformation, but as a transmigrator, Kenjiro knew of a jutsu that didn't require such a foundation, only a sufficient amount of chakra.
That ninjutsu was the Rasengan, a technique that the Fourth Hokage developed after being inspired by the Tailed Beast Bomb. It was an A-rank jutsu with no hand seals or nature transformation.
As a technique that Naruto Uzumaki used from a young age, developing various series of Rasengan, the Rasengan was also the only ninjutsu in the original story whose training method was fully revealed.
That training scene was deeply memorable.
Anyone who liked watching Naruto couldn't possibly forget the method to train this jutsu, and Kenjiro was no different.
However, Kenjiro wasn't practicing the Rasengan to use it as a trump card, but rather as mentioned earlier—to experiment with developing ninjutsu.
The Rasengan, developed by the Fourth Hokage, held a special significance in Konoha.
Apart from the Fourth Hokage, only his teacher and student could master this technique.
If Kenjiro suddenly used this technique, it would definitely attract the attention of Konoha's higher-ups.
Without a reasonable explanation, it could raise suspicions.
This was not what Kenjiro wanted.
So, he aimed to use the Rasengan as a foundation to develop another handseal-less ninjutsu—Super Hurricane Sphere.
The Super Hurricane Sphere, also known as the Multi-Tailed Beast Gale Sphere, was a jutsu used by Asura Ōtsutsuki in the anime against Indra Ōtsutsuki.
[T/N: I'm not too sure about the exact name of this jutsu, so if you know let me know in the comments!]
This jutsu was similar to Naruto's Planetary Rasengan.
The principle behind this jutsu was to first create an energy sphere just slightly smaller than the Tailed Beast Bomb. Then, five additional energy spheres, the same size as the Rasengan, were added into it, all capable of rotating.
This jutsu, like the Rasengan, or Rasenshuriken, could be thrown or launched.
Once it exploded, it would create six explosions.
If the energy sphere was destroyed, the five smaller energy spheres inside would scatter to attack enemies.
And just like Naruto's various attribute-infused Rasengans, this technique could also incorporate the Five Elements, or even combine all five elements, similar to the Third Hokage's Five Release: Great Combo Technique.
At that point, the power would be overwhelmingly destructive.
Without the Ōtsutsuki bloodline (red), or the All-Attribute Affinity (purple) traits, Kenjiro wouldn't have dared to consider such an idea. Being able to master the Rasengan would have been enough for him.
But with the Ōtsutsuki bloodline (red), the handseal-less talent, as well as his All-Attribute Affinity (purple) and the upgraded purple-level chakra control, Kenjiro had the foundation to turn this TV anime-original ninjutsu into a reality.
Thanks to his exceptional chakra control, Kenjiro mastered the Rasengan in just one week.
Next, he just needed to continue injecting chakra, increasing the Rasengan's size to that of a basketball while preventing the energy sphere from detonating. Afterward, he could begin trying to condense smaller Rasengans inside.
However, at this stage, Kenjiro couldn't practice at home.
If the energy sphere exploded, the consequences would be unthinkable.
So, he patiently waited for the downfall of the Uchiha Clan.
--------
On May 15th, Kenjiro finally saw the day arrive.
Afternoons usually consisted of just two or three lessons, with survival exercises occurring only after several weeks to test the students' growth during that period.
Even on such a special day, school would normally end around 5 p.m.
However, this day was rare, and the second-year class had four lessons in the afternoon.
The final survival exercise didn't finish until dusk.
The Uchiha Clan's residence was located near the Naka River, which was almost like the outskirts.
Without needing to use Body Flicker Technique to travel, by the time Sasuke Uchiha returned to the clan's residence, night had already fallen.
At this moment, the sky was already graced with a full moon.
Against the backdrop of the evening sky, it appeared somewhat blood-red.
Kenjiro's shadow clone glanced at Sasuke Uchiha's back as he jogged home after leaving the school gate.
He knew that after today, this seemingly indifferent, unconcerned Sasuke would completely disappear.
In his place would be someone who radiated an aura of coldness, who valued his family's honor and his grades above all, and was easily provoked emotionally by even the slightest verbal irritation.
Although this future Sasuke's life would be tragic, Kenjiro was still greatly looking forward to that moment.
After all, he had been waiting for a full year.
---------------------------
The next day, news spread like wildfire across Konoha and quickly expanded outward. Through the transmission of spies, it soon reached the entire ninja world.
After the fall of the Senju Clan, the Uchiha Clan, which had become Konoha's number one clan and even the most powerful clan in the entire ninja world with their Sharingan and other bloodline abilities, was destroyed.
The one responsible for the annihilation of this clan wasn't the Hyuga Clan, which was their rival, nor the high-level officials of Konoha, nor other ninja villages. The culprit was the current head of the Uchiha Clan's son, Uchiha Itachi, who was only 13 years old.
The name Uchiha Itachi spread quickly throughout the entire ninja world in the following days, making him Konoha's youngest-ever S-rank rogue ninja.
When Kenjiro stepped out that morning, he overheard villagers discussing the news.
This was a monumental event.
Its scale was no less shocking than the Nine-Tails Incident from Konoha's 48th year.
In just a few years, Konoha had lost the Fourth Hokage and his wife, many strong ninja, and its number one clan—the Uchiha Clan.
Now, Konoha was undoubtedly in the weakest state it had ever been in since its founding.
Once, Konoha had had enough Kage-level ninjas that a single hand wouldn't have been enough to count them. They could perhaps even defeat the four villages, but now only the elderly Third Hokage remained as the village's strongest ninja.
After the Nine-Tails Incident, Konoha had attracted the envy and schemes of Cloud Village.
Now, losing the Uchiha clan, logically, they should be targeted by more external enemies.
But strangely, for the next few years, Konoha remained surprisingly peaceful.
It was clear that the major ninja villages had already sensed something was wrong.
