Chapter 25 Old Friend

"If the piercing power of Lightning Style is the strongest, then the cutting ability of Wind Style is the strongest among all ninjutsu. Once you master it, you can cut off anything." Ye Lan said as a ball of chakra condensed in his hand, and then swung it under Naruto's astonished gaze. A wind blade appeared from his hand and directly cut off all the trees in the training ground.

"That's amazing!" Naruto's eyes sparkled, "Brother Ye Lan, I want to learn this!"

"It will take time to reach this level. You must first fully master the nature and form of wind escape..." Ye Lan's eyes fixed and he turned to look back, "Who is it!"

"Hey! Don't be so nervous!" A white-haired middle-aged man with a forehead protector with oil characters came out. He waved his hand and said, "I'm here to look for Naruto. I heard from Kakashi that he's been with you recently."

"Why are you here, you lecherous sage?" Seeing that Naruto knew Jiraiya, Ye Lan let down his guard. He looked at the other person's face and felt that it looked a little familiar.

"How many times have I told you! Don't call me the lecherous sage! Call me Lord Jiraiya! Boy! I came to you for something, do you want to come with me?" Jiraiya said to Naruto.

"What's the matter?" Although Naruto knew that Jiraiya was lustful, he also understood that Jiraiya was a very powerful ninja.

Jiraiya, he is one of the three famous ninjas along with Orochimaru. No wonder he looks familiar to me. He is much older than the information in the library, Ye Lan thought, but his personality is really different from that of Orochimaru.

"I will take you to find someone who will become the fifth Hokage in the future! Are you interested?" Jiraiya said.

"The Fifth Hokage? Who is that?" Naruto became somewhat interested in this topic. His goal was to be the Hokage. He certainly couldn't become the Hokage now, but he was still very curious if there was any news about the new Hokage.

"She is Princess Tsunade who holds the title of Sannin like me!"

Naruto, "What? An old woman like you."

"That's not true. Tsunade has practiced some kind of ninjutsu and has always looked like an 18-year-old girl. She is very beautiful. Are you interested?" Jiraiya looked thoughtful. The last time he saw Tsunade was many years ago.

"Not interested, I still need to practice ninjutsu!" Naruto waved his hand. After seeing Ye Lan's wind jutsu, he is now very interested in this kind of ninjutsu.

"Don't be like this! You have to know that Tsunade is a rare beauty! And she's the future Hokage! Don't you want to be the Hokage the most? What's wrong with seeing her?" Jiraiya was a little panicked. He had finally persuaded the two advisors to take Naruto with them to look for Tsunade, but Naruto was so disrespectful to him.

Although his goal is to become Hokage, Naruto knows that he is still a Genin and needs more training, so he does not aim too high.

Seeing that Naruto ignored him, Jiraiya looked at Ye Lan, Sakura and Sasuke awkwardly. He didn't expect Naruto to be so uncooperative. His reputation as one of the three ninjas was almost ruined.

"Naruto, Lord Jiraiya knows many ninjutsu that are more powerful than mine. If he just teaches you a little, you will become stronger." Ye Lan gave Jiraiya a way out at this time.

Naruto tilted his head and looked at Jiraiya, "Is that so?"

Jiraiya looked at Ye Lan gratefully, coughed and said, "Of course, tell me, what ninjutsu do you want to learn?"

"I want to learn cool ninjutsu like Chidori!" Naruto said excitedly when he heard that Jiraiya wanted to teach him.

"Hehe, I will teach you a ninjutsu that is more powerful than Chidori." Jiraiya stretched out a hand, and chakra continued to gather in his hand, finally forming a chakra light ball.

That is the Rasengan, one of the Fourth Hokage's signature ninjutsu. Ye Lan recognized this jutsu at a glance. This jutsu is very similar to the Chidori in some ways and both have good potential.

"What? It doesn't look like anything special." Naruto, who didn't know the value of things, compared Chidori and found that it didn't have the same shocking momentum as Chidori.

"Hehe, watch out, this move is called the Rasengan." Jiraiya walked to a tree holding the Rasengan and slowly moved the Rasengan closer. He saw that the nearby tree was cut into a round hole by the Rasengan.

Wow, this technique is so powerful and stable. How can one control the chakra in the hand so stably? Sakura figured out something.

Seeing Naruto still not reacting, Ye Lan said, "Naruto, don't underestimate this technique because it may not make much noise. Once it hits the enemy, they will basically be unable to stand up. Moreover, this technique is very suitable for you. Didn't you notice that this technique does not require hand seals?"

Jiraiya gave Naruto an approving look and said, "How about it? If you want to learn, come with me. It won't take long for me to teach you."

Naruto thought about it and said, "Okay! Then I'll go with you!"

After sending Naruto away, Sasuke walked up to Ye Lan and asked casually, "Is the Rasengan really more powerful than the Chidori?"

Ye Lan glanced at Sasuke, then said: "It's never the technique that's powerful, but the one who uses it."

Seeing Sasuke still a little tangled, Ye Lan patiently asked, "Do you think the Rasengan has any shortcomings?"

Sasuke, who had only seen the Rasengan once, thought for a while and shook his head.

Ye Lan, "The advantage of the Rasengan is that it is not obvious. It does not require hand seals. The disadvantage is that you must get close to the enemy. Moreover, compared with Chidori, the Rasengan does not have high-speed movement. If you want to hit the enemy, you must grasp the timing accurately. If you fail to hit the enemy, you will only waste your chakra."

Sasuke nodded thoughtfully.

"Whether it's Chidori or Rasengan, they both have great potential. After mastering Chidori, Sasuke, you must learn to develop your own ninjutsu."

"My own jutsu?" Sasuke was a little confused.

"Although you are still a Genin now, in my opinion, you are already at the Chunin level. If you want to become stronger, while Kakashi is teaching you, you have to think about your future path. Every Jonin has his or her own unique fighting style, and you won't get far by just learning from others." Ye Lan said.

"Also, as you improve, others will improve too. The improvement of your teammates is a good thing for you, because it means the mission can be carried out more smoothly and there will be less danger. Don't be so petty like a child. A short-term gap does not mean a lifetime gap."

When Sasuke heard Ye Lan expose his thoughts, he couldn't help but blush and said, "What a nagging guy." When Sakura saw this, she giggled secretly. It was rare to see Sasuke like this.

Seeing that Sasuke had resolved his mental problems and started practicing again, Ye Lan also picked up a book to read. It was not a book like Intimate Paradise, but some information books about the ninja world. When Ye Lan had nothing to do these days, he often went to the Konoha library to borrow books to read. This was a habit he had developed since childhood.

After a while, when Sasuke was practicing Chidori, a burst of chakra suddenly burst out from Ye Lan's body. Just when Sakura and Sasuke thought something happened, Ye Lan looked at Sasuke and said.

"Sasuke, it seems like an old friend of ours has come to Konoha!" Ye Lan has opened his Sharingan, and his perception technique has been covering the range of Konoha. Just now, he sensed a chakra unique to Uchiha. In the world now, apart from Ye Lan and Sasuke, the only person with such chakra is Uchiha Itachi!
