It was noon.
Sarutobi Asuma and Jiraiya were eating together at the Akimichi Clan's BBQ Restaurant.
A trip to gather folk customs had quickly brought the two closer.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be training like crazy, kid? What's with the free time today?" Jiraiya asked while eating.
He had heard about Sarutobi Asuma's intense training.
In the entirety of Konoha, perhaps only Might Guy could compare.
"A balance of work and rest, too much of anything is bad. Sister Tsunade suggested I take a day off," Sarutobi Asuma mumbled as he stuffed grilled meat into his mouth.
Jiraiya raised an eyebrow. "Tsunade?"
"Mhm," Sarutobi Asuma nodded. "I'm studying Medical Ninjutsu and Fūinjutsu with Sister Tsunade!"
Jiraiya's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this. "What?"
"Is she going to take you as a disciple?"
Sarutobi Asuma thought about it seriously and shook his head. "Sister Tsunade probably doesn't mean that, but it's just a title, it's not important."
"If she's not taking disciples, Sister Tsunade is also my father's disciple, making her my senior sister."
Jiraiya nodded in understanding.
Sarutobi Asuma changed the subject and asked, "Senior Brother Jiraiya, I heard from Sister Tsunade that Big Brother Minato created an A-Rank ninjutsu without hand seals called the Rasengan."
"Indeed, it's a very ingenious ninjutsu!" Jiraiya felt a sense of pride and then asked with a smile, "Do you want to learn it?"
Sarutobi Asuma shook his head. "When I was developing a ninjutsu, I also unintentionally mastered this technique. Sister Tsunade initially thought Big Brother Minato had taught it to me."
Jiraiya was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"You created the Rasengan too?"
"A clash of ideas?"
Sarutobi Asuma briefly explained about the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, and Jiraiya became extremely interested after listening.
It was the ultimate ninjutsu for subsequent Chakra Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation of the Rasengan.
Minato at this time didn't even have any ideas for it yet!
"Pinwheel!"
"Spinning shuriken!"
"How did we not think of that?" Jiraiya gestured wildly.
After the meal, he followed Sarutobi Asuma to the Hokage Building.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his son and Jiraiya together and felt a bit strange.
Why were these two hanging out?
And wasn't Asuma training with Tsunade?
Was he planning to switch mentors?
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew his second son's passion for learning and his thick skin, so it wasn't strange for him to seek out Jiraiya for guidance.
Sarutobi Asuma, unaware of his father's many thoughts, casually said, "Father, I'm here to exchange ninjutsu!"
"I've developed an S-Rank Wind Style ninjutsu and I want to exchange it for Sensory Ninjutsu from the village."
Did the Sarutobi Clan have sensory ninjutsu?
Yes.
But Sarutobi Asuma felt it wasn't enough.
He wanted to develop his own powerful sensory ninjutsu suited for him.
Most sensory ninjutsu had extremely limited ranges.
For example, the sensory ninjutsu mastered by Kurenai.
Of course, the power of ninjutsu often had a great deal to do with the ninja's own abilities.
However, creating the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken ninjutsu, not to mention the experience points gained during its development, had given him a full 100,000 experience points the moment it was completed.
It was a fast way to 'earn money'!
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned.
The Anbu ninja hidden in the shadows, ready to obey orders at any time, were also stunned.
A self-created S-Rank Wind Style Ninjutsu?
This is too exaggerated!
Although Sarutobi Asuma had been known as a genius since childhood, at just nine years old...
Shock +100!
And so.
The group moved to a secluded area, and Sarutobi Asuma demonstrated again.
This time, quite a few people were watching.
Three Anbu ninjas accompanying Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Jiraiya, and Namikaze Minato who Jiraiya had called over, along with Uzumaki Kushina who came with Minato.
Seeing these people, Sarutobi Asuma knew this was a sure win.
His experience points would surely skyrocket, and his Charm attribute would soar.
If his Charm attribute didn't increase by five or six points, it would be a disservice to the S-Rank Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.
After all, he had the nine-year-old age bonus!
This time, Sarutobi Asuma was even more proficient.
When the ninjutsu was completed and thrown out, expanding, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, like Tsunade before them, were all stunned.
"If this ninjutsu hits, it's probably fatal!"
An Anbu ninja thought to himself, alarmed.
"To create such a ninjutsu at the age of nine, he's truly a prodigy!"
Another Anbu ninja exclaimed.
Uzumaki Kushina looked at the rapidly spinning vortex in Sarutobi Asuma's hand and said, "Minato, this ninjutsu is perfect for you!"
Minato nodded.
Undoubtedly, the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken was an extremely powerful offensive ninjutsu, far superior to the Rasengan in terms of attack power and destructive force.
For ordinary ninjas, the Rasengan was sufficient.
But against certain powerhouses, or large summoned beasts, the Rasengan's attack power felt somewhat lacking.
The Wind Style: Rasenshuriken could completely compensate for this weakness.
After the storm.
Sarutobi Asuma said, "The biggest challenge of this ninjutsu is throwing it."
"If your Chakra Control is insufficient, you won't be able to throw the ninjutsu. If you can't, the ninjutsu will explode and inevitably injure your own arm first."
"Wind Release Chakra, finer than a needle, will destroy a person's cells, ultimately causing injuries that even Sister Tsunade cannot heal, rendering the arm unable to wield Chakra anymore."
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.
But then they understood.
After all, it was an S-Rank ninjutsu; a high cultivation difficulty was normal.
Jiraiya chuckled, "Minato, this ninjutsu is very suitable for you, even if you can't throw it!"
With the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could teleport before the ninjutsu exploded, so he wouldn't be affected.
Namikaze Minato was very tempted by this.
He had already mastered the Rasengan and grasped Chakra Nature Transformation for Wind Style. It would be much easier for him to master the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken than for others.
However, what could he offer in exchange for an S-Rank ninjutsu?
Sarutobi Asuma smiled and proactively said, "Big Brother Minato, I would like to ask Sister Kushina to teach me Fūinjutsu, may I?"
Before Namikaze Minato could agree, Uzumaki Kushina's eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, "Of course, there's no problem with that!"
When it came to Fūinjutsu, she, Uzumaki Kushina, was definitely the most professional in Konoha!
Moreover.
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she couldn't go on missions outside the village recently.
Having a disciple to teach would prevent her from being so bored!
It was a win-win situation!
Since his lover had already agreed, Namikaze Minato could only nod.
The matter concluded.
Emerging from the Hokage building with the copied ninjutsu scroll, Sarutobi Asuma glanced at his attributes.
Charm +3!
Coupled with the 0.5 that Tsunade had contributed earlier, the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken had already earned him 3.5 Charm points.
Over the next two days, the news of the nine-year-old Sarutobi Asuma creating an S-Rank Wind Style Ninjutsu spread rapidly throughout Konoha.
Charm +3!
Two days later.
The news reached the other ninja villages.
Charm +4!
In total, 10.5 Charm points were gained!
This was why Sarutobi Asuma revealed to Jiraiya that he had mastered the Wind Style: Rasenshuriken and why he openly exchanged for Sensory Ninjutsu from the village.
Previously, only Tsunade knew, and she would definitely keep his secret.
Once Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato, and others knew, the news would naturally spread rapidly through everyone.
Then, the spies from the various ninja villages lurking in Konoha would surely pass the information back.
After all, a nine-year-old genius creating an S-Rank Wind Style Ninjutsu was valuable intelligence.
Although the hype was a bit much, making him a target, Sarutobi Asuma was making a fortune.
Besides the significant increase in his Charm attribute, this move also netted him 50,000 experience points.
In the previous five months, his character level had only increased by one.
And judging by the current situation, he could level up again in another two to three months.
