Chapter 18 Mastery of All Chakra Attributes
Although he was unwilling to have his good deed ruined by a brat, Orochimaru still had some self-awareness.
With two of the legendary Sannin working together, even at his peak, he might not have been able to win.
Plus, with the sudden appearance of Naruto, who also seemed very troublesome, Orochimaru could only give up.
"Hmph, brat, don't celebrate too early. We'll meet again!"
Orochimaru, after throwing out a harsh threat, decisively disappeared into a puff of smoke with Yakushi Kabuto.
Watching Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto escape, Tsunade and Jiraiya did not pursue them.
They knew very well that once Orochimaru was pushed to the brink, he could probably do anything.
After all, he was also one of the Sannin; even if a victor was decided by continuing the fight, someone would die.
Whether as former companions or current enemies, they did not wish harm upon each other.
This was perhaps their bond, and this bond might last a lifetime.
Just like in the original story, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, this bond was impossible to sever.
"Sigh, what a pity. I still had so many Rasengan I wanted Uncle Snake to taste!"
"Why did he run away? How boring!"
Seeing Jiraiya flee in a hurry, Naruto couldn't help but stick out his tongue.
Just then, Jiraiya had already arrived beside him, then tapped him on the head.
"Kid! Don't get too complacent!"
"Orochimaru's strength is far more than just that!"
"Although your current self is very surprising to me, it's best to avoid provoking that guy. He can do anything!"
Jiraiya earnestly lectured Naruto, and Narutonodded conscientiously after listening.
Naruto also knew very well in his heart that his current strength was indeed still far from enough.
If he wanted to avoid being targeted by someone like Orochimaru, then he had to become stronger.
Just as Jiraiya was talking to Naruto, Tsunadefinally walked over.
At this moment, her gaze towards Naruto became even more complicated.
Naruto's previous performance had completely exceeded her expectations.
She never imagined that Naruto could be so strong.
One must know that he had just fought Orochimaru, one of the Sannin—a guy who would make even a Jonin feel dread.
But Naruto was able to remain so calm and force the opponent to that extent; it was truly not simple.
"Naruto, were all your moves just now taught to you by Jiraiya?"
"It seems your talent is truly amazing! Becoming Hokage is just around the corner!"
Tsunade praised Naruto, but at this moment, Jiraiya, who was listening nearby, felt a bit guilty.
Because besides teaching him a few small tricks for Rasengan, he hadn't taught him much else.
The reason Naruto could use Rasengan was largely due to his own high comprehension.
As for Great Ball Rasengan, that was beyond Jiraiya's expectation.
"Uh, would you believe me if I said I didn't teach him?"
"By the way, Naruto, when did you learn that big Rasengan?"
Jiraiya also became curious, and seeing him ask, Naruto certainly couldn't say it was a system reward.
So Naruto quickly made up an excuse, ready to gloss over it.
"Uh, during the three days I was unconscious before, I had a dream!"
"In the dream, I just comprehended it like that!"
Naruto recounted how he comprehended Great Ball Rasengan with a guilty expression.
However, not only did he not believe this account himself, even Jiraiya didn't believe it.
But Jiraiya did not press further; in his opinion, as long as Naruto didn't go astray, it was fine.
"Did you use the Nine-Tailed's Chakra just now?"
Tsunade seemed to have thought of something at this moment, so she pressed for an answer.
Seeing that Tsunade had seen through his Chakraduring the previous battle, Naruto no longer concealed it.
Clearly, lying at this point would be somewhat indefensible.
After all, Naruto was only a Genin at the moment; where could he get so much Chakra to create Rasengan?
And he was making those big Rasengan, which was simply outrageous.
So when Tsunade asked, Naruto decisively nodded.
"I was anxious and afraid Granny Tsunade would be in danger, so I borrowed some Chakra from that guy inside me!"
"But I'm not using it anymore!"
Naruto's sincerity made Tsunade quite satisfied.
However, thinking of the Chakra in Naruto's body coming from the Nine-Tailed, Tsunade couldn't help but frown.
"Naruto, promise me, don't easily use the Nine-Tailed's Chakra in the future!"
"The Nine-Tailed's Chakra could very likely make you lose consciousness!"
"In that case, you'll be in danger!"
Tsunade evidently couldn't forget the Nine-Tailed's attack on the Village, and reminding Naruto now was also her hope that Naruto wouldn't go down a dark path.
Naruto nodded decisively after hearing this, agreeing to her request.
However, what they didn't know was that Narutohad already reached an agreement with the Nine-Tailed.
The Nine-Tailed and Naruto had long since become partners, so using as much of the Nine-Tailed's Chakra as desired was no longer an issue.
Soon, after a few exchanges, seeing that there was no longer any danger around, they prepared to set off back to Konoha.
Just as they were on their way back to Konoha, a system prompt sounded in Naruto's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission of repelling Orochimaru!"
"Reward: Full Chakra Affinity Mastery!"
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Naruto couldn't help but feel excited.
Clearly, this reward was absolutely useful for Naruto.
Before this, Naruto was only proficient in two Chakra natures: Wind and Fire.
With this reward, Naruto could easily master almost all Chakra Ninjutsu.
This way, Naruto would no longer be restricted by Chakra natures.
In other words, Naruto could learn and even master Ninjutsu of all attributes.
Such an ability was not something everyone could possess.
If he remembered correctly, even in the original story, only the First Hokage and Second Hokagehad that kind of strength.
Of course, the Ōtsutsuki clan was an exception; after all, they were the original Ninja.
"This way, can I also practice Kakashi-sensei's Chidori?"
"And Granny Tsunade's Medical Ninjutsu! That's incredibly useful!"
Naruto couldn't help but mutter to himself. Although Naruto himself had very strong regenerative abilities, he still wanted to learn some Medical Ninjutsu.
With Medical Ninjutsu, he could heal his companions at any time, which would allow Narutoto break the Ninja world's structure.
You see, according to custom, Ninja going on missions always travel in three-person squads.
Medical Ninja are indispensable, but if he learned it himself, then he would be completely unbound by this condition.
Thinking of these things, Naruto began to pester Tsunade, asking her to teach him Medical Ninjutsu.
At first, Tsunade was unwilling; in her opinion, Naruto simply didn't have the talent.
However, after Naruto's persistent badgering, Tsunade finally compromised.
