Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 243 Application of Power

"Now, Naruto, try guiding this power to perform the simplest attack and see how far you can go."

Naruto, shrouded in a dazzling golden chakra cloak, was taken by Jiraiya to a vast, deserted plain outside Konoha Village. The plain was large enough to serve as a testing ground for his strength.

Naruto nodded, and with a slight thought, several enormous fox claws made of condensed golden chakra instantly extended from behind him. He subconsciously wanted to try to condense a Rasengan in this form.

"Wait! No, no!" Jiraiya quickly raised his hand to stop him. "I'm talking about the most basic attacks, not using ninjutsu right away. This is probably the first time you've fully mastered this form of power, right? The first time you use it, you need to proceed step by step, starting with the most instinctive application."

Naruto suddenly realized that was indeed the case. His current understanding of his strength was mostly based on the portrayal in the "original work," but the feeling of actually controlling this power was completely new, and he had to start from scratch to familiarize himself with and explore it.

He retracted his imposing chakra claws as instructed and instead focused his power on his right fist. As he concentrated, the golden chakra flowing around him was drawn towards his right fist, making it appear as if it were covered in a layer of burning golden flames, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.

"drink!"

Naruto threw a seemingly ordinary straight punch towards the empty plain ahead!

However, at the very moment the fist was thrown, the highly condensed golden chakra suddenly erupted and extended! A gigantic fist phantom, entirely composed of materialized golden chakra, slammed forward like a cannonball!

"Boom—!!!"

A deafening roar exploded across the plain! To the astonishment of both Jiraiya and Naruto, the scene before them was utterly terrifying—wherever the fist's force passed, the solid earth was violently churned up as if by an invisible giant plow! A violent shockwave, carrying countless bits of earth, stones, and grass, swept and spread wildly forward in a fan shape!

As the smoke and dust dissipated and the power subsided, a fan-shaped crater, hundreds of meters long and tens of meters wide, appeared before the two. The soil within the area had been completely uprooted and overturned.

You have to understand, for Naruto, this was just an ordinary punch without any technique or refinement! Jiraiya felt like his nerves were going numb. How old was this kid?

He carefully observed Naruto's expression. His face showed only pure surprise at the destruction he had caused, without a trace of elation or arrogance from gaining such power. If Jiraiya had possessed such power at that age, he probably would have been so overconfident that he would have lost his bearings.

Seeing Naruto's mindset, Jiraiya felt somewhat relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about the child's mind being corrupted by power.

However, another problem arises: if this power cannot be precisely controlled, it may unintentionally affect or even seriously injure comrades in actual combat.

"Hmm, I understand." Jiraiya cleared his throat. "Before teaching you new techniques, this sage needs to tailor a method for controlling your power specifically for your special form."

He said this with a touch of arrogance, then quickly formed a hand seal.

The newly renovated soil in front of them suddenly rose up, forming a thick and solid earthen wall.

"Next, you need to achieve this level." After Jiraiya finished speaking, the chakra in his right palm rapidly spun and condensed, instantly forming a blue Rasengan. He gave a low shout and pressed the Rasengan against the earthen wall.

"boom!"

With a dull tearing sound, a perfectly round hole with a uniform depth was chiseled into the earthen wall, perfectly limiting the destructive force to a specific area.

"Try to control your chakra like this. You've probably trained to climb trees before, right? The principle is the same, except now you're controlling a higher level of energy. Try to precisely restrain and shape this massive amount of chakra, instead of letting it pour out wildly."

Looking at the earthen wall that Jiraiya had just built, Naruto tried again. He extended a giant golden chakra claw from behind him, attempting to condense a Rasengan in its palm, just like before.

"...?"

However, Naruto was stunned. He used the conventional technique to condense the Rasengan, but what appeared in his palm was not a blue chakra ball, but rather positive blue chakra and negative red chakra—representing the Nine-Tails' chakra of Yang Release and Yin Release respectively—which began to converge and intertwine uncontrollably.

This isn't a Rasengan at all, it's...

"A Tailed Beast Ball?!"

As chakra continued to gather and compress, a deep, unstable, dark purple sphere radiating destructive energy fluctuations appeared in Naruto's palm.

This is a true, complete Tailed Beast Ball made entirely of Nine-Tails chakra! It's far superior to the half-baked Tailed Beast Ball from the previous Four-Tails form!

By the way, the inspiration for the Rasengan came from the Fourth Hokage's observation of the Tailed Beast Ball. Could it be... that attempting to condense the Rasengan using only the Nine-Tails' chakra at a sufficiently high energy level would directly trigger the formation of its prototype—the Tailed Beast Ball?

"Naruto! This thing... can you control it?!"

Jiraiya's expression changed drastically; he immediately recognized the terrifying technique. The energy fluctuations emanating from that dark purple sphere made him feel a deadly threat, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time!

"...I'm not entirely sure about its exact power, Mr. Jiraiya," Naruto said cautiously, feeling the energy in his palm. "I'd like to...test it somewhere else."

Before he finished speaking, he forcefully hurled the unstable Tailed Beast Ball into the air!

The dark purple sphere rose rapidly into the air like a shooting star, then abruptly stopped after reaching a certain critical point—

"boom!!!!!!!"

A blinding white light instantly engulfed everything in the sky, as if a second sun had appeared out of thin air! Immediately following was a deafening explosion that seemed to tear your eardrums apart!

The violent shockwave could be clearly felt even on the ground, transforming into a visible white ring that spread wildly outwards from the point of explosion! The clouds in the high sky were instantly torn apart and dispersed, forming a huge hole.

Jiraiya looked up at the scene in the sky, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He had no doubt that if those few objects had landed on Konoha... the entire village would probably have been wiped off the map in an instant.

Hmm... its power is slightly inferior to the [Great Spiral Wheel].

This was Naruto's internal assessment after the comparison. But an even bolder idea then emerged. What if... we used the complete Nine-Tails chakra to condense the [Great Rasengan]?

He merely simulated the scene in his mind—an ultimate ninjutsu capable of destroying a village, combined with the destructive chakra of a tailed beast…

...Let's wait until next time we leave the village and find a more open place to try again.
