Chapter 66 Discussing the Nine-Tailed Barrier
Gen Takuno felt the miniature version of the Wind Release: Rasengan in his hand, a smile playing on his lips, and then threw it away.
In an instant, the Spiral Shuriken sliced through the wall of the experimental base. The entire ninjutsu was embedded in the wall, and only then did its power suddenly erupt, with countless tiny wind blades constantly cutting through the surrounding walls.
After a long while, the Wind Release: Rasengan attack completely dissipated, leaving behind a large, mangled hole.
If we only consider the expressive power of destruction, it is not as good as Fire Release, but its main function is still its cellular-level cutting ability.
Moreover, its power is truly impressive. Although it cannot compare to the fully-formed Rasengan, it is far stronger than the Rasengan.
And it can also be thrown.
Gen Takuno showed a satisfied expression. At this stage, this weakened version of Wind Release: Rasengan is already sufficient. It won't be too late to use the complete Rasengan once his physical strength has improved.
Furthermore, if his chakra reserves were sufficient, he could even directly wield the Giant Rasengan shuriken now.
And the oversized jade spiral shuriken.
Gen Takuno stretched and finally completed the ninjutsu.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered studying smaller techniques from the beginning, but rather that smaller techniques aren't necessarily easier to study.
The smaller the Rasengan is, the higher the requirements for chakra control become, and its difficulty may increase even further.
Only those of moderate size are the easiest to control and the easiest to study.
Just like a craftsman, making a normal-sized one is not difficult, but if it is too big, it is obviously very troublesome. The same goes for if it is too small. For example, if it is the size of a finger and you want to show everything, you need to have more delicate carving skills.
However, Yuan Tuoye's eyes flickered slightly; these past few days hadn't all been good news—there had been bad news as well.
The bad news is that the research on the Ghost Sprout Technique has not yet been successful. It can't be said that there has been no progress, but he estimates that it will take some more time.
After all, it took Hiruko a very long time to research the Oni-Garara technique to its final stage.
The advantage of Minamoto no Takuno is that he doesn't need to specifically search for information about bloodline limits, nor does he need to spend a lot of time planning how to obtain them.
Even so, the research on the Ghost Sprout Technique remains challenging.
Gen Takuno pondered the three remaining positions, which were reserved for Hyuga, Kaguya Kimimaro, and Yamato.
Of these three, Hyuga needs to obtain the bloodline of the Hyuga main family, Kaguya Kimimaro needs to awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan to counter Hashirama's Yang Release, and Yamato doesn't know when he will be able to capture his opponent.
So there's not too much of a rush, let's take our time to study it.
Now that the Wind Release: Rasengan has been revealed, it means that the trump card has been developed. The Shadow Clone Technique can then be explored in different ways to achieve maximum efficiency.
After making his plans, Yuan Tuoye returned home to rest.
The next day, as Gen Takuno continued, he suddenly received a message from the shadow clone left behind in the sealing group.
Minato Namikaze is looking for him.
"Hmm? Is there something you need from me at this time?" Gen Takuno was a little puzzled, but he still returned to Konoha and went to the Hokage's office.
"Senpai, you've arrived?" Minato Namikaze smiled when he saw Takuno Minamoto.
"What can I do for you, Hokage?" Gen Takuno glanced at Minato Namikaze. Even the legendary Yellow Flash seemed a little tired with so much work to do.
Minato Namikaze's expression also turned serious. He said, "Senpai, there is a village secret I need to tell you now. After you hear it, you must not reveal it."
Yuan Tuono fell silent for a moment, then said, "Can I not listen?"
Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly and said, "Because I need your help to set up some sealing techniques, and this involves some secrets, I can only tell you this."
Yuan Tuoye nodded helplessly in agreement. Since the other party, as the Hokage, had said so, how could he disagree?
He genuinely didn't want to get involved in anything confidential; it was too troublesome.
"Senpai should know about the Nine-Tails and its Jinchuriki, right?" Minato Namikaze said after seeing that Takuno Minamoto had agreed.
"Huh? Of course." Gen Takuno was also surprised, then suddenly realized what Minato Namikaze was about to say.
"Senpai has met my wife, Kushina Uzumaki, before." Minato Namikaze's eyes softened as he thought of her.
"Of course, could it be—" Yuan Tuoye widened his eyes and feigned surprise.
"Yes, that's right, Kushina was Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki." Minato Namikaze nodded.
"Is that so?" Yuan Tuoye seemed to still be 'immersed' in this news.
Minato Namikaze remained silent, giving the other party time to process the information. In fact, he had considered only having Takuno Minamoto set up the sealing technique without telling him this.
The problem is that his wife is going to give birth on that day, and he needs Gen Takuno's help to set up some sealing techniques that can slightly resist the Nine-Tails.
If Yuan Tuoye is determined, he will definitely be able to connect these two pieces of information.
Therefore, instead of continuing to hide it from him, it's better to tell him now and instruct him not to reveal it.
"Is the Hokage's wife about to give birth?" Yuan Tuoye suddenly remembered something and asked.
Mentioning this, Minato Namikaze smiled and nodded, seemingly anticipating the arrival of his child.
Then he said, "Actually, it's because Kushina is about to give birth. When a Jinchuriki gives birth, the sealing technique that seals the Nine-Tails becomes unstable, and the Nine-Tails may take this opportunity to break free from the Jinchuriki's body."
"But if the tailed beast leaves the Jinchuriki's body—" Takuno Minamoto didn't finish his sentence, but Minato Namikaze knew what he was going to say next.
He smiled and shook his head, saying, "This is just to be on the safe side; it's not certain that this will happen, and I will definitely not let it!"
As he spoke, Minato Namikaze revealed a determined expression.
Gen Takuno nodded and then said, "So, the Hokage summoned me here to set up a barrier around the place where the Hokage's wife gave birth to protect against the Nine-Tails, right?"
"That's right." Minato Namikaze nodded.
"Isn't the Hokage better than me at creating barriers?" Takuno asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Of course I will also set up barriers, but my research is a bit different from yours, so it would be safer to have your help in the research," Minato Namikaze said.
Yuan Tuoye nodded and agreed.
Minato Namikaze smiled when he saw that Takuno Minamoto had agreed.
He could have used the Hokage's authority to force the other party to agree, but didn't he want to avoid making things awkward?
"Senior, come to my house for dinner after get off work. We can also discuss the type of barrier we need to set up," Minato Namikaze said.
"Okay." Yuan Tuoye naturally wouldn't refuse; the more opportunities like this to build closer relationships, the better.
Since he has already decided to save the other person, the closer their relationship is, the more advantageous it will be for him.
"There must be a lot more to the Hokage than this, right?" Gen Takuno asked, looking at the pile of documents on his desk.
Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but smile wryly. He only realized how many responsibilities there were after becoming Hokage, which slowed down his growth rate.
There was simply no time to research new ninjutsu. Even with a well-developed technique like the Rasengan, there was no time to incorporate nature transformation into it.
"There are indeed many, but I've gotten used to it." Minato Namikaze didn't complain. Since he had decided to become Hokage, he wanted to do his best.
"Hokage-sama, you've worked hard. I'll head back now and come find you after get off work," said Minamoto Takuno.
Minato Namikaze agreed.
Looking at Yuan Tuoye's figure, he suddenly felt a little envious that the other person could continue to do what he liked.
He then buried his head and continued processing the documents. He had an appointment with Yuan Tuoye today, so he had to speed things up and couldn't work overtime.
During the days when his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, was giving birth, he had already made arrangements, as the affairs of the Hokage could not be stopped.
He had already discussed it with the Third Hokage in advance, and the Third Hokage would handle the Hokage's documents on his behalf during those days.
Now, he needs to handle as many things as possible to make things easier for the aging Third Hokage.
Gen Takuno sat in the Sealing Group's chair. To be honest, he hadn't expected Minato Namikaze to ask him for help with something like this.
After all, the fact that Kushina Uzumaki was the Nine-Tails was a secret of Konoha, known only to those in the upper echelons.
Of course, he already knew.
He rubbed his temples, wondering what benefit this matter could bring him.
After thinking it over, it seems like the only thing I can do is increase my favorability towards Minato Namikaze.
Okay, not everything you do will have many benefits.
After get off work, Gen Takuno arrived at the Hokage's office building with some gifts that his team members had bought for him. He saw that Minato Namikaze had already taken off his shrine robes bearing the inscription "Fourth Hokage" and returned to his usual attire.
"Lord Hokage, you've made it pretty fast today," Gen Takuno greeted him and teased.
"Senpai, since you're off work, just call me Minato." Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly, then noticed the food in Takuno Minamoto's hand and said, "I invited you, Senpai, how could I let you spend money?"
"It's fine, it's not worth much money, and it would be hard to buy fresh food there now, wouldn't it?" Yuan Tuoye said with a smile.
"Besides, even after I buy it, you'll still be the one cooking, right? I should be one of the few people who get to taste the Fourth Hokage's cooking, right?"
"Alright." Minato Namikaze agreed with Takuno Minamoto. It was indeed a bit late to buy groceries at this time, and Kushina couldn't be allowed to go shopping while heavily pregnant.
"Then I will definitely use my best skills," Minato Namikaze said with a smile.
"Then I'll look forward to it." Gen Takuno laughed.
Soon, during their conversation, they arrived at Minato Namikaze's house.
Upon returning home, Minato first inquired about Kushina's feelings for the day. After confirming that everything was alright, he took the ingredients brought by Takuno Minamoto into the kitchen, leaving Takuno and Kushina sitting on either side of the table, discussing the barrier they would be setting up next.
Kushina Uzumaki, as the Jinchūriki, knew the Nine-Tails' strength best. Ordinary barriers had no effect on the Nine-Tails, which was the fundamental reason why she summoned Takuno Minamoto.
The goal is to develop a barrier that can suppress the Nine-Tails, ideally with multiple layers.
The three people here are so powerful that it would be hard to find anyone in the entire ninja world with stronger sealing techniques. Minamoto Takuno knew that no matter how many barriers there were, it would be useless, because Uchiha Obito would definitely make his move at this time, and he even used the Summoning Jutsu to summon the Nine-Tails to Konoha Village.
Therefore, unless they set up a barrier that can prevent space-time ninjutsu, it will definitely be ineffective.
However, he couldn't say much here, and even if it was useless, he would still try his best to set up the barrier.
Soon, Minato Namikaze also brought out the dinner for the evening.
Looking at the delicious-looking food in front of him, Gen Takuno couldn't help but exclaim, "Minato's cooking skills are truly excellent. Kushina is very fortunate to have married Minato."
Minato Namikaze was initially quite pleased with himself, but then suddenly felt something was off, while Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but laugh.
"Takuno-senpai is right, I am really happy after I 'married' Minato."
Minato Namikaze finally understood. He looked at Takuno Minamoto with a hint of resentment, not angry, but still determined to take revenge. After thinking for a while, he said.
"You're already so old, don't you want to find a girlfriend?"
"I'm not interested in this, so I think I shouldn't hold them back," said Yuan Tuoye, shaking his head.
"You're already very talented, aren't you?" Minato Namikaze couldn't help but ask.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat." Yuan Tuoye shook his head and said no more.
Minato Namikaze could tell that Takuno wasn't very interested in this, so he didn't say anything more.
However, he was also thinking about whether he should arrange some blind dates for Yuan Tuoye in the future, since the other party was already twenty-eight years old, which was indeed out of place in the ninja group where people married very early.
As for Gen Takuno's statement that he wasn't interested, Minato Namikaze thought it was because Gen Takuno hadn't met the right person.
Just like when he met Kushina Uzumaki when he was a child, he was attracted by her bright red hair. Now he has successfully won the heart of the beauty and even realized his dream of becoming Hokage.
Although he is a bit tired now, he is living a very fulfilling and happy life.
Minato Namikaze glanced at Kushina Uzumaki's belly, where his child was being carried. After the child was born...
His life was perfect, wasn't it?
Minato Namikaze exchanged a glance with Kushina Uzumaki, both seemingly understanding what the other was thinking.
He laughed.
Yuan Tuoye buried his head in his food. If you're going to treat someone to a meal, then treat them to a meal. Why are you also showing off your love?
That's going too far!
