"that strong?" Jiraiya's eyes widened.
"A ninjutsu that can be used with one hand and doesn't even require hand seals? How have I never heard of something like that?" Orochimaru frowned. Tsunade also shook her head.
"Of course you haven't," Isamu said calmly.
"I created this technique myself. Right now, I'm the only person in Konoha who can use it. It's already an A-rank ninjutsu."
As he spoke, Isamu slowly raised his right hand.
A small blue sphere of chakra appeared in his palm, spinning rapidly.
"I call it Rasengan—a rotating sphere of chakra."
"So it really doesn't require hand seals…" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes as he studied the chakra sphere. "But how powerful can something like that really be?"
"Big Brother Isamu! Hurry up and show us!" Jiraiya said impatiently.
If the power matched the convenience, this would be an incredible technique.
"Stand back," Isamu said.
Everyone quickly moved away. Tōwa ran even farther, afraid he might get caught in the attack.
"Watch carefully."
"Rasengan!"
Isamu drove the spinning chakra sphere straight into the ground.
BOOM!
The moment it struck, the earth exploded with a deafening sound.
A large crater appeared instantly, and cracks spread across the surrounding ground.
Jiraiya and the others stared at the destruction in shock.
"Damn!" Jiraiya shouted.
"It's so simple to use, but the power is insane! Big Brother Isamu, you're a real genius!"
Orochimaru nodded slowly.
"…Yes. Being able to create a technique like this definitely qualifies as genius."
Tsunade looked at the crater silently.
He created something like this himself… he is really something.
Tōwa, meanwhile, was almost in tears.
"Amazing… With a ninja like this, the Land of Hot Springs might actually be saved!"
But Isamu only smiled faintly.
"This is just the basic form."
"If it's developed further, it could even instantly kill a Kage-level ninja."
"WHAT?!"
Jiraiya immediately grabbed his arm.
"Big Brother Isamu! Teach me! I want to learn it!"
"If the basic version can kill a jonin, and the advanced version can defeat a Kage… I have to learn this technique!"
Orochimaru frowned slightly.
"Insta-killing a Kage-level ninja… that sounds more like theory."
Even though the Rasengan was impressive, he found that claim hard to believe.
"Yeah… killing a Kage in one hit…" Tōwa muttered nervously. "That's terrifying."
Isamu ignored them and looked at Tsunade.
"Tsunade. Do you believe it?"
Tsunade met his gaze seriously.
"It sounds unbelievable."
"but I willing to believe you."
"Because you're the kind of person who can make the impossible happen."
Isamu smiled faintly.
Then he slowly raised his right hand.
"If someone—even the Hokage—took this attack head-on…"
"They'd die."
A sharp buzzing sound filled the air.
The chakra gathering in his hand suddenly became violent.
Tōwa collapsed to his knees in fear.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru stared in shock at the terrifying chakra swirling above Isamu's palm.
"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"
Isamu hurled the attack toward the distant forest.
Orochimaru's eyes widened.
"He condensed that much chakra… and he can still throw it?!"
BOOM!!
The Rasenshuriken struck the forest and exploded.
A violent hurricane erupted instantly, tearing through the trees.
Jiraiya and the others hurried behind Isamu to shield themselves from the storm.
When the wind finally died down, they looked up.
The forest ahead was gone.
Completely flattened.
Orochimaru stared at the destruction in silence.
"…That power is already comparable to a forbidden technique."
"If a Kage-level ninja were hit directly… they wouldn't survive."
Tsunade frowned slightly as she looked at the devastated landscape.
"No wonder the Senju clan doesn't want to provoke him," she thought.
"As long as Isamu is around, the Senju clan will always be suppressed."
Tōwa's legs were still shaking.
"Is this… the power of a Konoha ninja…?"
"To destroy an entire forest so easily…"
Jiraiya suddenly turned to Isamu with shining eyes.
"Big Brother Isamu… are you really going to teach me something like that?"
"When this mission is over and we return to the village, I'll teach you," Isamu said.
"But you'll start with the Rasengan first."
"Only after mastering that will you be able to learn the Rasenshuriken."
"YES!" Jiraiya shouted.
"Thank you, Big Brother Isamu! I'll definitely train hard!"
Isamu then glanced at the other two.
"Orochimaru. Tsunade. If you want to learn it, you can come to me anytime."
"I'll teach you."
Tsunade and Orochimaru both shook their heads immediately.
"No, that's fine."
This was his self-created technique. It was one thing for him to teach Jiraiya, but it wouldn't feel right for them to learn it too.
Isamu didn't seem to care.
"If I wanted to," he said calmly, narrowing his eyes slightly, "I could destroy a small country in an instant."
"Tōwa… do you believe me?"
"I do! I do!" Tōwa nodded frantically.
At this point, he was starting to regret hiring Isamu.
If someone with this level of power decided to destroy the Land of Hot Springs, there would be no one capable of stopping him.
"Now I understand why you wanted to continue the mission," Jiraiya said with a grin.
"With your strength, Big Brother Isamu, this mission should be easy."
Orochimaru and Tsunade nodded in agreement.
"Don't get too confident," Isamu said.
"This mission depends on you three."
"I won't interfere unless you encounter a jonin, or your lives are in danger."
"That's still good enough," Jiraiya said casually.
"At least we've got a safety net."
Just then—
Two Konoha ninja suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Halt!" one of them shouted.
"Who are you?"
"We're Konoha ninja on a mission," Tsunade said as she stepped forward.
As the granddaughter of the First Hokage, she assumed they would recognize her.
"Just because you say that doesn't make it true," one of the guards replied coldly.
"This is the border of the Land of Fire. We suspect you may be enemy spies."
"Show proof of your identity immediately, or we'll detain you."
Tsunade blinked in surprise.
"I'm Tsunade. You don't recognize me?"
"We really are Konoha ninja," Jiraiya added quickly.
"Yeah, we're on a mission."
Tōwa also stepped forward nervously.
"Ninja-sama, they really are Konoha ninja! They're escorting me back to the Land of Hot Springs."
"Enough talking," the guard said impatiently.
"Show proof of your identity!"
Whenever ninja leave the village for missions, they must register and receive an exit permit.
Unfortunately, the three rookies had no idea about this.
And the permit happened to be with Isamu.
"Hey," Isamu said as he stepped forward.
"Do you recognize me?"
"Who are—"
The younger ninja was about to speak when the older one suddenly covered his mouth.
His eyes widened.
He had just recognized Isamu.
"Oh! Isamu-sama!" the older ninja said quickly, bowing his head.
"Are you heading out on a mission?"
His tone instantly became respectful—completely different from the arrogance he showed earlier.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru looked at him with clear disdain.
A spineless sycophant.
The three of them felt embarrassed just watching him.
