The next day.
Natsuki and Nonō arrived at the Senju clan's residence.
"Good morning!"
Kushina greeted them energetically, her face full of smiles.
Natsuki nodded, then looked at Nawaki.
He was staring intently at the balloon in his hand.
"Creating a ninjutsu yourself isn't that simple."
Natsuki reminded him, "Nawaki, you should still focus mainly on learning Water Release and Water Breathing."
"Then why were you so fast when you created your own ninjutsu before?"
Nawaki asked in return.
Natsuki was imdiately speechless.
He did not even know how to answer that question.
"But Natsuki is right."
Tsunade walked out of the living room and said, "Your talent doesn't lie in creating ninjutsu."
"That really hurts."
Nawaki sighed and put away the balloon.
"Everyone has their own strengths. There's no need to force it."
Tsunade comforted him.
Nawaki nodded and said, "I'm going to train Water Release and Water Breathing."
Kushina, Nonō, and Minato also began their own training.
"Tsunade-sensei."
Natsuki stood in place and said, "I want to learn new swordsmanship."
"You an the swordsmanship available in Konoha?"
Tsunade asked, sowhat puzzled.
In her view, Natsuki's swordsmanship was already enough to rank in the top three in Konoha.
Although Konoha had quite a few swordsmanship styles, most of them did not reach A-rank.
In terms of power, they could not compare to the swordsmanship Natsuki had created himself.
"The more I learn, the easier it will be for to integrate everything and create more swordsmanship."
Natsuki gave his reason.
"Those words coming from your mouth really feel out of place."
Tsunade sighed and said, "Generally speaking, words like that should co from soone at Sensei's level."
Natsuki gave her the air of a grandmaster.
Though she did not know that everything he was doing was to unlock the abilities of his character templates.
"Then I'll teach you Senju-style swordsmanship, which is Second Grandfather's swordsmanship."
Tsunade pondered for a mont before speaking.
Senju Tobirama's swordsmanship?
Natsuki nodded slightly.
As for why Senju-style swordsmanship ca from Senju Tobirama and not Senju Hashirama, the reason was simple.
Hashirama did not need swordsmanship. He only needed to clap his hands, and whatever he called for would appear.
Natsuki ford hand seals and created a shadow clone.
The shadow clone went to train Water Release chakra nature transformation.
He followed Tsunade to learn Senju-style swordsmanship.
Sumr vacation silently disappeared amid training.
Class A, Year Four entered the second sester.
After more than a month of effort, Natsuki and the others completed the second stage of Rasengan training.
Now they had reached the third stage, which was replacing the balloon with a sturdier rubber ball.
Natsuki estimated that Kushina and Nonō would be able to learn the Rasengan before graduation.
He, Nawaki, and Minato would be a little slower.
Though he said slower, it was actually already very fast.
In the original story, Minato spent a full three years developing the Rasengan.
Of course, developing the Rasengan and learning the Rasengan were two different concepts.
Although Natsuki was also developing the Rasengan, he had a cheat, so his progress was much faster.
Aside from progress with the Rasengan, he also unlocked another ability.
[Congratulations, Host, for unlocking Sasaki Kojirō Template Ability Two, Clear and Serene.]
Its requirent was very simple, to have six consecutive battles without any emotional fluctuations.
It also did not limit the opponent's strength.
So Natsuki found Nawaki and Minato and fought six matches.
After successfully unlocking it, he also tested the effect of Clear and Serene.
How should it be put?
It was calr than sage ti itself. His entire person beca free of desire and want, unmoved by anything.
In short, it was an extrely frightening state.
Fortunately, it could be turned off.
If it were active all the ti, life would have no joy at all.
Ti reached October.
As usual, Natsuki arrived at the Senju clan's residence.
Before, he would still go to the Ninja Academy for half a day every day, but ever since learning the Shadow Clone Technique, he had his shadow clone attend school instead.
After greeting Kushina and the others, Natsuki went to the riverside.
He stretched out his hand, and ripples imdiately appeared on the surface of the river.
A stream of water scattered in every direction like a fountain, but it was soon controlled and gathered back together.
Natsuki's second stage of Water Release chakra nature transformation training had already reached its final stretch.
He felt that he could complete it today.
An hour later, a line of text appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations, Host, for unlocking Kamado Tanjiro Template Ability Four, Water Breathing Seventh Form, Eighth Form, and Ninth Form.]
Natsuki glanced at it and could not help relaxing.
After working hard for so long, he had finally unlocked the first nine forms of Water Breathing.
"It seems that during the ti I was away, you still worked very hard."
A sudden voice rang out.
"Sensei?"
Natsuki subconsciously turned his head and saw Orochimaru.
"Here. This is the second Kusanagi Sword I found."
Orochimaru took out a Kusanagi Sword and said, "Consider it a gift after so long apart as teacher and student."
"Thank you, Sensei."
Natsuki could not help smiling.
This was truly double happiness.
After obtaining the Kusanagi Sword, he could unlock the real Projection Magecraft.
"Sensei, why did you co back? Has the war in the Land of Rain stopped?"
Natsuki put away the Kusanagi Sword and asked curiously.
"It hasn't stopped, but for now, it won't affect Konoha."
Orochimaru walked as he spoke, "I ca back because Sensei invited to attend the seventh-night banquet."
The seventh-night banquet?
Natsuki quickly reacted.
The seventh-night banquet was a custom in the shinobi world, referring to a banquet held on the seventh day after a child's birth to invite guests.
Sarutobi Asuma was about to be born.
"So that's how it is."
Natsuki nodded and said, "Since Sensei ca back early, you can just happen to guide Nawaki and ."
"Sensei, you're back?"
When Nawaki saw Orochimaru, surprise imdiately appeared on his face.
"When did you co back? Why didn't you tell ?"
Tsunade asked with a surprised expression, "What about Jiraiya? Didn't he co back with you?"
"To prevent Agakure and Sunagakure from making a move while I wasn't there, I returned secretly."
Orochimaru explained, "Jiraiya didn't co back. After I attend the seventh-night banquet, he'll co back."
"War really is troubleso."
Tsunade said with a look of disgust.
What she hated most was war.
Back then, her grandfather Senju Hashirama had finally ended the chaotic era, but not long after he died, war broke out again.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Since you've finally co back, rest properly during this period."
Tsunade changed the subject and said.
Orochimaru nodded.
"Sensei!"
Nawaki suddenly said proudly, "During this period, I've beco a lot stronger!"
"Words alone are no proof."
Orochimaru smiled faintly and said.
"I'll show you!"
Nawaki picked up the Greatsword, Sahada, and walked into the courtyard.
"Water Breathing?"
Orochimaru subconsciously glanced at Natsuki.
What Nawaki was displaying was indeed Water Breathing, but he only knew the first four forms.
Even so, combined with the unique traits of the Greatsword, Sahada, he could fight so Tokubetsu Jonin.
"You've improved quickly."
Orochimaru praised him.
"Hehe."
Nawaki stopped moving, and the smile on his face beca even brighter.
Tsunade smiled.
Although her younger brother's personality was not very suited to being a ninja, he could bring them quite a bit of happiness.
"We also developed a ninjutsu!"
After Nawaki placed Sahada on his back, he stretched out his hand and used the Rasengan.
But he had not learned it yet, and the rotating chakra soon lost control and exploded.
Nawaki had long since grown used to this kind of failure.
Before it exploded, he had already pulled away.
"A very interesting ninjutsu."
Orochimaru said seriously, "If it can be completed, it may be evaluated as an A-rank ninjutsu."
"It's called Rasengan."
Nawaki shook his hand and explained, "The idea was provided by Natsuki."
"That is within expectations."
Orochimaru nodded slightly and said.
If the idea had truly co from Nawaki, then he would have been surprised.
After saying that, Orochimaru looked at Natsuki again.
Natsuki thought for a mont, then showed him Double Circular Slash and White Blow.
Tsunade, Nawaki, and the others had already seen these two abilities.
As for the final three forms of Water Breathing he had just unlocked and the earlier Broken Phantasm, he had never used them, and there was no need to show them now.
"So it's a flying ninjutsu?"
Compared to Double Circular Slash, Orochimaru cared more about White Blow.
After all, flying ninjutsu was truly rare.
"Unfortunately, it has quite a few flaws."
Orochimaru said with regret, "You can't fly freely in the air."
Natsuki nodded.
White Blow's flight was indeed a little lacking.
After the demonstration ended, Natsuki and the others began training again.
After all, Orochimaru's return did not an training could stop.
Natsuki returned to the riverside again.
He took out the Kusanagi Sword and began projecting it.
When the projection succeeded, a line of text appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations, Host, for unlocking Heroic Spirit Emiya Template Ability Three, Projection Magecraft.]
Natsuki felt his body tremble, and in the unseen, he sensed a special bounded field.
That was undoubtedly Unlimited Blade Works.
Because Heroic Spirit Emiya's Projection Magecraft was essentially a byproduct of Unlimited Blade Works.
But he had not yet unlocked Unlimited Blade Works, so he could not use it. He could only vaguely sense it.
Natsuki let out a breath and used Projection Magecraft.
The next second, a replica of the Kusanagi Sword appeared before him.
He held the genuine sword in his left hand and the replica in his right hand, then crossed them from left and right and slamd them together hard.
A piercing sound rang out.
Both Kusanagi Swords were completely undamaged.
Natsuki could not help nodding.
The replicas projected by the current Projection Magecraft were already no different from the genuine articles.
The only pity was that there were very few ninja tools in the shinobi world with special functions.
Otherwise, Projection Magecraft would truly be invincible.
But few was still not none.
In the future, if he had a chance to project the Uchiha Gunbai and fan against Madara, it would probably leave him unable to figure it out even after thinking for three days and three nights.
Another week passed, and on October 18, Sarutobi Asuma was born.
This ant that the group of ninja Natsuki was familiar with would also be born one after another.
For example, Yūhi Kurenai, Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, Shizune, and the others.
(To be continued.)
