"Ugh, I'm so tired! I need a break. You guys keep going." Naruto was the first to fall down. Even with a gifted body, his limited spirit couldn't bear the pain of perseverance.
Two years had passed since the three of them first trained together. The three five-year-old children were now wielding their fists and feet with skill. In these two years, under the guidance of their parents, they had all learned to use chakra on their own, and Haryu, under the guidance of the Third Hokage, had learned some D-rank ninjutsu. A five-year-old who could use ninjutsu, even in wartime, was rare! Not to mention the different talents of each ninja, chakra amount was also a hurdle. Without enough chakra, it was impossible to release decent ninjutsu.
You have to know that even Naruto could only use the Shadow Clone Jutsu now, and he could only create three at most.
Looking at Sasuke's progress, he had also only learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu. This achievement was naturally commendable for a child who hadn't even gone to ninja school yet. But following a genius like Haryu, Naruto and Sasuke were truly outmatched.
Although they had fought many times in the past two years, they still couldn't defeat Haryu. However, they had also learned many techniques.
"Third Hokage, your disciple is truly impressive." Fugaku complimented Sarutobi Hiruzen, but unbeknownst to him, the Third Hokage's guidance for Haryu only extended to pointing out techniques. Most of the time, Haryu was exploring on his own. Similarly, Haryu would also discover his own shortcomings and practice them specifically.
He was a rare prodigy.
His young body held a mature mind. No wonder the Otsutsuki clan called him a seed.
Continuing to stare at the dazzling Haryu in the crystal ball, the Third Hokage couldn't help but think back to some scenes from the past two years.
…
"Grandpa Hiruzen, can you teach me some ninjutsu?" Haryu was only four years old at the time.
"Sure, what do you want to learn?" The Third Hokage looked down at Haryu kindly. He thought that Haryu wouldn't know what kind of ninjutsu was suitable for him and that he could use effectively.
"Grandpa, I want to learn a Water Release ninjutsu with a small range but strong penetration; a Fire Release ninjutsu with a wide range and low chakra consumption; an Earth Release ninjutsu that can defend; a Wind Release ninjutsu with low power and a small range; and a divergent Lightning Release ninjutsu." Haryu stared intently at the Third Hokage with a serious expression.
The Third Hokage, as if he was teasing a child, said: "Haryu, you have to know, a person's natural chakra usually only has one attribute. If you have two, it's called a Kekkei Genkai, and if you have three, it's called a Kekkei Tōta. And there has never been anyone with more than three attributes in this world." As a ninjutsu doctor, he naturally understood the composition of ninjutsu. He had also done a lot of research on unique ninjutsu like Kekkei Genkai. To him, a child who hadn't even started school, asking for five chakra attributes of ninjutsu, was simply ignorant.
"Grandpa, I have a reason for choosing these. If you don't believe me, you can test me with chakra paper." Haryu was very confident. He should be confident. As a member of the Otsutsuki clan, he could sense the chakra in his body, from its attributes to its amount, he could understand it all.
"Haha, okay. Since little Haryu is so eager, I'll test you. Remember, the paper wrinkles for Lightning Release, gets wet for Water Release, cracks for Wind Release, catches fire for Fire Release, and shatters for Earth Release. Come on, Grandpa will accompany you to buy one to test." The Third Hokage still didn't believe Haryu's claims, and chose to go and identify the chakra attributes.
They walked along the street to the tool shop and easily got the paper. After all, Haryu was just a child, no matter how mature he was, he couldn't hide the desire in his heart to prove himself. As soon as he got the paper, he couldn't wait to press his hands on it, and this scene was still vivid in Sarutobi Hiruzen's memory.
He clasped his hands together.
He placed the paper between his hands, and chakra was transmitted.
He spread his palms, and nothing happened.
"How could this..." The Third Hokage hadn't finished speaking when the paper started to change. Step by step, it wrinkled, then became moist, then flames instantly dried the paper, then split in half from the middle, and finally shattered into powder.
"Grandpa, I told you. I really have five chakra attributes!" At this moment, Haryu's childishness burst out, a proud aura burst forth from his body, and little Haryu immediately straightened his back.
"Kekkei Mōra..." The Third Hokage was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He had lived for over seventy years, and had experienced two Shinobi World Wars, but he had never encountered the legendary bloodline, Kekkei Mōra, until now. And he was a witness to this historical moment!
But after all, he was the Third Hokage. After a moment of losing his composure, he regained his composure, but remained silent, pulling Haryu away from the tool shop. Haryu, understanding, didn't say anything more.
Back home, the Third Hokage excitedly held Haryu's hands: "Your chakra naturally contains five attributes, this is the once-in-a-thousand-year Kekkei Mōra. Little Haryu, you must work hard, don't waste such a good talent. I will teach you what you need to learn now! Come on, kid, you will become... the first person in history!" The Third Hokage was incoherent, and his emotions obviously startled Haryu. He had never seen Grandpa Third Hokage, who was always kind and peaceful, lose his composure like this. But he was still very happy, after all, this was the first time someone had been so optimistic about him since he was born.
Thinking of this, he nodded heavily, then pulled the Third Hokage to the training ground and began practicing ninjutsu.
…
"At that time, I could understand his need for other ninjutsu. I could see that he had his own unique insights into ninjutsu and its properties, but I never understood why he wanted that kind of Wind Release." The Third Hokage sat alone on the sofa, reminiscing about the scene, and couldn't help but smile.
…
"Little Haryu, there are many powerful and useful Wind Release techniques, why did you choose this one? A Wind Release with strong penetration and a wide range wouldn't be more effective?"
"Grandpa, effectiveness depends on the situation. I chose this Wind Release not for killing, but to work with other ninjutsu. For example, the Fire Release I chose can be adjusted in range and intensity through this Wind Release. Also, this Wind Release, combined with the Shadow Clone Jutsu, can instantly speed up the main body." Haryu analyzed calmly. He didn't act like a child at all.
"Speed up? That's truly genius." The Third Hokage murmured. Throughout history, Wind Release has always been a destructive jutsu, no one has ever used such difficult-to-control chakra to play with fire on themselves. But Haryu wanted a low-damage Wind Release, maybe this was his consideration. Looking at it this way, this child's mind is meticulous, truly unmatched.
…
"Naruto, Sasuke, why don't you two try it together today?" Haryu stood on top of the wooden post, looking down at Sasuke, and... Naruto, who was lying on the ground. But Naruto heard the challenge, he immediately got up and yelled, then stopped abruptly:
"Haryu, isn't that unfair? Two against one, are you okay?"
"Stupid."
"Sasuke!"
"Stupid."
"Alright, alright, are you two going to fight or not? If you don't, I'll continue practicing." After saying that, Haryu jumped off the wooden post and took a step towards the distance.
"No, no, no, Haryu! Let's start now! I'm ready." Naruto looked at Haryu eagerly, after all, he had just developed a new taijutsu technique. Sasuke, needless to say, was a stubborn person, although he didn't show it on his face, his movements revealed a strong fighting spirit.
"Hmph, I don't believe I can't beat this Haryu."
"Then let's begin, you two be careful." Shadow Clone Jutsu! Haryu directly used the Shadow Clone Jutsu and released three clones. Seeing this, Naruto and Sasuke didn't hesitate, they immediately released their Shadow Clones. Similarly, they also had three.
"Naruto Whirlwind!" Naruto roared, taking the lead and using his own taijutsu creation. Two shadow clones grabbed another shadow clone and the main body, spinning them forcefully and throwing them into the air. Then, the shadow clone in the air threw the main body towards the enemy, creating a powerful impact. Obviously, this was powerful for a child.
Naruto slammed into Haryu, who seemed to be completely unprepared.
"Stupid." Even at this time, Sasuke didn't forget to mock Naruto. After saying that, he and his shadow clones surrounded Haryu, using the taijutsu he had learned.
Shadow Dancing Leaves!
In an instant, all of Sasuke's clones disappeared from sight, he had launched an attack from below! One shadow clone against one shadow clone, while the main body was responsible for taking on the main body. At this moment, Naruto was still flying, his direction was directly towards Haryu's main body! Obviously, Sasuke was better at cooperating.
Shadow Dancing Leaves activated! Haryu's main body was kicked towards the flying Naruto, a direct collision, causing Haryu to scream.
"Haryu, Haryu? Are you okay?" As soon as he landed, Naruto couldn't wait to run towards Haryu, who had been knocked into the air, and asked nervously. Sasuke also rushed over when he heard the sound.
Earth Release: Heart Severing Technique! A hand suddenly extended from the ground, dragging the unsuspecting Naruto underground, then a completely unharmed Haryu popped out from the ground, immediately launching the next move.
Earth Release: Rock Seal! A spherical rock formation formed in an instant, trapping the equally unsuspecting Sasuke inside. Just like that, Haryu took down both of them in three seconds.
Then, the Haryu who had been knocked into the air turned into a cloud of white smoke and quietly dissipated.
"Haryu! You're a coward!" Naruto, not wanting to lose, yelled from underground, not caring about his image at all.
"When did you..." Sasuke muttered to himself from inside the rock, but as he was mumbling, the rock was released, so Haryu heard his question clearly.
"When I jumped off the wooden post." Haryu smiled and answered Sasuke's question.
"So... let's do it again."
