Shika Shiranui Kū Nara watched the screen as members of the Yamanaka Clan gradually extracted information from the captured Sky Ninja using their secret techniques.
He let out a long sigh.
He knew very well that his old comrade, Inoichi Yamanaka, usually required specialized equipment and considerable time to complete a full memory extraction and record.
Now, Nagi had refined the Yamanaka clan's secret arts using Yin–Yang Release principles and Orochimaru's bioengineering research.
Who knew whether they had modified other clans' secret techniques as well?
ShikaShiranui Kū also understood something else—
Even if these improved techniques existed, they would only be used by Root operatives and Orochimaru's subordinates.
And if clan shinobi within Root were to one day rally their clans…
"…I only hope Nagi shows mercy when that time comes."
[Red Screen Ends]
[Shinno: Even if I'm dead, as long as you can use Impure World Reincarnation, Nagi could still read my memories. Truly worthy of being the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's disciple—you've inherited his ruthlessness.]
[Tsunade: Hmph. If you hadn't plotted to invade KonohagaShiranui Kūre and dominate the Shinobi World, Nagi wouldn't have needed to do that. You brought this upon yourself.]
[Jiraiya: Exactly. You treated your own student far more cruelly. What right do you have to judge?]
[Fourth Raikage A: Hahaha! The look on your face when Nagi broke you was priceless.]
[MEidara Uchiha: Hmph. Now that the brat has obtained that technology, he'll surely come up with something new.]
[Ōnoki: With that incident concluded, the screen will likely shift to another future from a different world. I wonder what we'll see next.]
Speak of the devil—
[The White Screen Lights Up]
[The Immortal Duo — Asuma ("Old Man Asuma"); Three-Tails Arc; Camellia; Orochimaru's Death; Deidara's Self-Destruction ("Art Is…")]
[White Screen Ends]
[Shikamaru Nara: Asuma!!!]
[Ino Yamanaka: Asuma-sensei!]
[Choji Akimichi: Asuma-sensei!!]
[Asuma Sarutobi: ...]
I'm not dead. And that's another world's version of me, alright?
[Shiranui Kūrenai Yūhi: Asuma…]
[Asuma Sarutobi: Ahem. Shiranui Kūrenai, I… well…]
Honestly, learning that in another future Shiranui Kūrenai carried his child filled Asuma with quiet happiness.
Wait—that's another world. I'm still alive here. I want to see my future child myself.
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: …In that world, we truly lost because of insufficient intelligence.]
[Asuma Sarutobi: Come on, old man. Shikamaru avenged me in that world, didn't he?]
[Shiranui Kūrenai Yūhi: Asuma!]
[Asuma Sarutobi: Alright, alright, I was wrong.]
[Hidan: What the hell?! In that world I get beaten by some brat?!]
[Deidara: That's pretty embarrassing.]
[Hidan: Like you weren't captured.]
[Sasori: Calm down. Next time it might show you and KaShiranui Kūzu.]
[Hidan: Hmph. In this world, I'll kill that brat first.]
[KaShiranui Kūzu: Relax, Hidan. That was another world. Things may not unfold the same here. Besides, charging into Konoha now would be suicide.]
[Hidan: ...]
[Fourth Raikage A: Yugito! Damn Akatsuki!]
[Killer B: Yo! Those Akatsuki scum killed my friend!]
[Yugito Nii: …Is this simply the fate of a Jinchūriki?]
[Mabui: Why worry? Even if you die in this world's future, with your relationship to Samui, Nagi would probably revive you.]
[Yugito Nii: Hah. Then I'll treat it as a sightseeing trip to the Pure Land.]
[Samui: ...]
You two are far too calm about this.
Mabui and Yugito: Not nearly as calm as you.
[Yūkimaru: Guren…]
[Guren: …Sigh.]
[Kabuto YaShiranui Kūshi: If Lord Orochimaru or Lord Nagi had wanted the Three-Tails in this world, they wouldn't have used such a crude method.]
[Guren: ...]
[Kabuto YaShiranui Kūshi: I didn't expect that world's Orochimaru to be killed by Sasuke.]
[Orochimaru: In that world, my body had already reached its limit. Otherwise… Sasuke would have been the one in danger.]
[Sasuke Uchiha: Hmph. You're welcome to try in this world.]
[Kabuto YaShiranui Kūshi: No need for Lord Orochimaru. I'll test you myself.]
[Sasuke Uchiha: Heh. You think you can—]
[Shiranui Nagi: Enough, Sasuke. Even Itachi Uchiha at his peak might not be able to defeat Kabuto as he is now.]
[Kisame Hoshigaki: Whoa now, that's exaggerating. Itachi-san isn't that weak.]
[Shiranui Nagi: No. I mean Kabuto's strength has already reached the upper echelon of the Shinobi World. After all—he's become a dragon.]
[Tsunade: Is he truly that strong?]
[Shiranui Nagi: Ask Jiraiya about the power of Perfect Sage Mode.]
[Jiraiya: ...]
How would I know? I never achieved Perfect Sage Mode.
[Hidan: Hahaha! Deidara blew himself up for nothing.]
[Deidara: You don't understand art. And you, who got blown into pieces, have no right to mock me.]
[Ōnoki: Fortunately, our world's Deidara was captured. Otherwise, the outcome might've been the same.]
[Shiranui Kūrotsuchi: Exactly. Deidara-nii, your art is good enough. Come back already.]
[Deidara: ...]
The Red Screen Lights Up AgainKonohagaShiranui Kūre Forest
"Smack!"
"Ahhh! That hurts!"
As usual, Nagi was "encouraging" Naruto's Yang Release training with relentless discipline.
He used the opportunity to observe Naruto's Yang chakra.
It was undeniably powerful—
But not yet at its peak.
Most likely because Naruto's ultimate Yang potential had not fully awakened—and his age was still a limiting factor.
Still, the training was effective.
Naruto now had a basic grasp of what Yang Release truly was.
His control still needed refinement.
Meanwhile—
He had successfully learned:
Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
Under Nagi's strict guidance, Naruto's understanding and application of Wind Release chakra had improved significantly.
At last—
He was nearly capable of throwing the Rasenshuriken safely.
Konohamaru's Breakthrough
The young Konohamaru had finally mastered Naruto's version of the Rasengan.
Later, Nagi placed his palm over Konohamaru's.
After a brief moment of contemplation—
Konohamaru successfully formed a one-handed Rasengan.
Naruto stood nearby, dumbfounded.
So he tried it too.
After obtaining what Nagi jokingly called a "trial experience card," Naruto spent time experimenting.
In the end—
He still failed to produce a one-handed Rasengan.
Nagi understood why.
First—
Naruto's chakra reserves were simply too massive.
Second—
The Nine-Tails' chakra constantly interfered with his fine control.
Both factors made delicate chakra manipulation exceptionally difficult for him.
