Naruto: Minato Namikaze, born evil

Chapter 26 The Innately Evil Minato Namikaze

The next morning, as soon as Tsunade left home, Nawaki eagerly approached Minato.

"Watergate—"

Nawaki stared longingly at Minato, looking utterly pitiful.

"I know..."

Minato couldn't help but smile, and led Nawaki into the courtyard.

Then he put his hands together, and a wooden stake about the size of a washbasin emerged from the ground in front of him.

Then Minato extended his right hand and held it out to Nawaki: "Watch closely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chaotic flow of chakra suddenly gathered in his palm. This chakra spun rapidly in his palm and eventually condensed into a high-density chakra sphere!

The high density of chakra stirred up a chaotic airflow, ruffling the hair of the two people.

"Such powerful chakra!"

Rope Tree's eyes sparkled: "What's the name of this move?"

"Rasengan!"

As Minato spoke, he turned around and slammed the Rasengan at the wooden stake.

Bang!

The Rasengan blasted a large, spherical hole in the wooden stake the instant it made contact with it.

"That's amazing..."

Rope Tree stared blankly at the large hole in the wooden stake, lost in thought.

He couldn't contain his excitement any longer: "Let's start cultivating right away!"

"Please wait a moment."

Minato gently raised his hand, signaling Nawaki to calm down: "Before that, we need to test your chakra control level."

"Tell me! What should I do?" Rope Tree asked eagerly.

"Like this..."

With a clap of his hands, the broken wooden stake suddenly rose more than ten meters, its top extending into countless branches, transforming into a straight, towering tree.

Then, Minato stepped onto the tree trunk and walked step by step to the top as if walking on flat ground.

"By distributing chakra evenly on the soles of your feet and achieving balance with your body weight, you can adhere to the wall and walk freely."

"Yosh! Watch this!"

Rope Tree took a few steps back and rushed excitedly toward the tree trunk.

He took three steps in a row.

Before he could even feel happy, his foot suddenly slipped, and the back of his head slammed heavily onto the ground.

sieve--

Minato had anticipated Nawaki's mistake.

He appeared instantly beneath the rope tree and caught it steadily.

"Damn it, I made a mistake!"

Nawaki looked annoyed, especially feeling ashamed that Minato had caught him in a princess carry.

"Take your time, there's no rush."

Minato smiled and comforted him, "I have a method that should help you quickly master tree climbing."

"What is it?"

Rope Tree couldn't wait to ask.

Minato raised his hand and pressed it against the tree trunk, and a branch about the size of a bowl extended out from a height of two and a half meters above their heads.

"You should be able to easily reach this height."

As he spoke, Minato leaped up and grabbed the branch, placing his feet on the trunk.

"You can hold onto the tree branch and continuously adjust the chakra output under your feet. After a few times of getting used to it, it should be more effective than blindly rushing upwards."

Seeing this, Nawaki laughed heartily: "Minato, you look like a koala!"

Click!

Minato snapped the branch in half, looking regretful: "Since you don't like this method..."

"No, no, no, Lord Minato, I love this training method the most!"

Nawaki panicked and grabbed Minato's leg as Minato jumped down from the tree.

Minato smiled, gently patted the tree trunk, and another branch sprouted.

Rope Tree leaped and hugged the branch, its feet sticking to the trunk.

Seeing this, Minato smirked and formed hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Spear!"

swish swish swish…

Sharp earth-burrowing spikes suddenly sprouted around the tree trunk!

"Huh?"

Nawaki, clinging to the tree trunk, turned pale upon seeing this: "Minato, you…"

"It is said that many powerful ninjas broke through their limits at the critical moment of life and death."

Minato said seriously, "I think that makes a lot of sense. Nawaki, you're going to become Hokage. How will you know your potential if you don't push yourself?"

"Okay, I'm going to buy groceries now. Good luck!"

With that, Minato vanished from his spot in a flash.

Seeing Minato leave, Nawaki immediately became anxious.

"Wait a minute!"

"Minato, come back quickly! I won't laugh at you anymore! It was my fault!"

"Hey! Help! Someone come quick!"

Hearing Nawaki's cries for help, Minato smiled brightly.

He certainly wouldn't joke about the life of the rope tree. Those homemade guns were just clay sculptures, mainly for psychological pressure, but in reality they would crumble at the slightest touch and collapse in two minutes.

In the courtyard, Rope Tree, trembling, clung to its branches, looking down at the rows of sharp homemade guns below, and unconsciously swallowed.

He didn’t know if it was psychological, but he felt his arms, which were holding the tree branch, were getting more and more sore and his palms were sweaty.

"Minato, I was wrong, please put me down."

Rope Tree called out pitifully to a clone not far away.

The wooden clone glanced at him and said, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm just an ordinary clone."

Rope Tree chuckled awkwardly, "That clone brother..."

"Whom should I call a clone? Don't I deserve a name? You're so annoying!"

The clone gave a soft hum and turned around, followed by a burst of laughter from several clones.

"Aaaaaah, Minato Namikaze, you bastard!!!"

As they were shouting, a gust of wind suddenly blew by, and the earthen guns below collapsed silently, like melting ice cream.

"Huh? It's fake?"

Noticing this, Rope Tree realized he had been tricked, and his face immediately turned bright red.

"Damn it, that cunning guy!"

"Minato Namikaze, born evil!"

"Damn it!"

Two hours later, Shuimen returned from grocery shopping.

As soon as he entered the house, Rope Tree suddenly appeared out of nowhere and punched him on the forehead.

"Got it! Ha! This is the price for messing with me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the water gate in front of him suddenly exploded with a bang, turning into a wooden stake.

"substitute?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Rope Tree's eyes, and suddenly an ice cream was placed in front of his neck.

"Alright, KO!"

Minato appeared behind Nawaki at some point, his tone carrying a hint of a smile.

"As expected, the gap in strength isn't so easily bridged..."

Rope Tree took the ice cream, but his tone wasn't surprised; instead, he looked quite smug.

"I've learned how to climb trees!"

"Great!"

Minato carried the groceries into the living room, then pointed to the small pond in the yard: "Next is treading water. It's the same technique, but you need to constantly adjust your chakra output according to the water's flow. Go!"

Minato wasn't surprised that Rope Tree could learn to climb trees so quickly.

In terms of chakra control, Tsunade is probably among the strongest in Naruto.

As Tsunade's younger brother, even if Nawaki's talent isn't as outstanding as his sister's, he probably won't be too bad.

"Again?"

Rope Tree was getting impatient: "Can't we just learn it directly?"

"cannot."

Minato shook his head and explained, "Chakra has two training directions: form transformation and nature transformation. The Rasengan is the ultimate form transformation, which will indirectly enhance your control over chakra."

"So theoretically speaking, if you possess the corresponding attributes and can learn the Rasengan, then you can learn any ninjutsu!"

"Is that so?"

Nawaki found it hard to believe. If what Minato said was true, then the value of this ninjutsu was far beyond that of ordinary A-rank ninjutsu!

"So... how long did it take you to learn Minato?"

"If it's just pure cultivation, it took about three months."

"Three months..." Rope Tree said in a complicated tone.

In that instant, he finally gained a clear understanding of Minato's talent...

According to Minato, if he could master the Rasengan in three months, he could learn any ninjutsu within three months!

Minato was unaware of Nawaki's thoughts. If he had, he might have explained it to him—he could usually learn ninjutsu with just one glance.
