Chapter 27
[Bonus Chapter +1000PS!]
Shino thought, maybe he could help Natsuki get more jutsus.
Even if the jutsus were of a lower rank, that wasn't important. What mattered was giving Natsuki more exposure to ninjutsu. From there, Natsuki would surely come up with even more wild and creative ideas.
That way, Natsuki would definitely grow stronger faster.
Of course, Shino knew Natsuki wouldn't accept it for free—he'd definitely offer something in return.
But that was simple too. As long as Natsuki shared the techniques he developed, like the one-handed hand seals and the Shiyo no Jutsu from before, it would already be a huge benefit.
That way, they'd both grow together. Wouldn't that be great?
Shino had made up his mind, but didn't tell Natsuki right away. He planned to collect some jutsu first and then pass them to Natsuki without letting him refuse—otherwise, he'd just nag him endlessly.
"Take action first, explain later"—this tactic worked well on Natsuki. It was the same strategy Shino used every time he mooched meals from Natsuki's house without warning.
At that moment, Natsuki still had no idea what kind of surprise his good friend was preparing for him. As class began, Iruka-sensei started teaching the Kinbaku no Jutsu. But Natsuki already knew it, so he didn't really need to listen.
He was fully immersed in dissecting the Mizurappa he practiced the night before.
Water had many properties, and when it came to infusing water-nature into the Rasengan, the concept was akin to a powerful vortex. The keywords were "twist" and "grind." Just imagine a person falling into a deadly whirlpool and being ground into pulp—absolutely terrifying.
