"You've all mastered Tree Climbing and Water Walking? No wonder you learned the Strength of a Hundred Seal so quickly."
Tsunade was no longer surprised by their rapid progress.
"Well, I guess I have nothing left to teach you. Let's start taking missions tomorrow."
She sounded a bit disappointed.
"Tsunade, want to learn a Jutsu?"
Shin asked, a Rasengan swirling to life in his hand.
Tsunade had taught them her secret technique; he didn't mind returning the favor.
"You're going to teach me that no-hand-seals Jutsu?"
Tsunade was surprised. Not many Shinobi were willing to share their Jutsu.
"Of course. You taught us your secret Strength of a Hundred Seal technique; it's only fair that I teach you something in return. Besides, don't you want to learn it?"
"Well, since you're offering, I suppose I'll learn it," Tsunade said with a playful arrogance.
Shin's lips twitched. He hadn't expected Tsunade to be so tsundere.
He explained the Rasengan training method to Tsunade and even provided personal guidance. But even so, it wasn't something that could be mastered quickly.
It would take at least a few days.
"This Rasengan is pretty good, but I don't see how it's useful for me."
Tsunade said. No-hand-seals Jutsu were powerful, but her fists were just as strong.
Why bother with the Rasengan when she could just punch her enemies?
"Don't underestimate the Rasengan. It has a lot of potential. The basic Rasengan is a non-elemental Jutsu, but you can add Chakra Nature transformations to create even stronger Jutsu."
Shin explained.
In the original story, Naruto had taken the Rasengan to incredible heights.
"And the Rasengan isn't limited to close-range combat. It can be used for long-range attacks as well."
Shin held out his hand, Chakra gathering and swirling into a Rasengan.
He increased the Chakra output, the pale blue sphere deepening in color.
Then he threw it. The Rasengan struck a rock thirty meters away, exploding on impact, pulverizing the rock and creating a small crater.
"You can throw the Rasengan?" Kushina gasped.
"Yes, but you need to make it more condensed and stable."
Naruto, in the original story, couldn't throw the Rasengan, but Shin, after some research, had figured it out.
The reason the Rasengan couldn't be thrown was that its unstable rotation would cause it to dissipate once it left the user's control.
By increasing its stability, it could be thrown.
But this came with a drawback: increased Chakra consumption. Making the Rasengan more stable required more Chakra.
A thrown Rasengan consumed three times the Chakra of a regular Rasengan.
It was a trade-off, but Shin had Chakra to spare. For him, the benefits outweighed the costs.
Kushina and Tsunade's eyes lit up as Shin explained how to throw the Rasengan. Mikoto, however, sighed.
Shin had already taught her the Rasengan, but she couldn't throw it.
She didn't have enough Chakra. The Uchiha Clan had decent Chakra reserves, but they couldn't compare to the Senju and Uzumaki.
Mikoto could barely create two Rasengan. It was an A-rank Jutsu, after all. Even though it was less Chakra-intensive than other A-rank Jutsu, it still required a significant amount.
"Let's head back for today. Meet me at this training ground tomorrow," Tsunade said.
"You two go ahead. I'll train here for a bit."
Tsunade nodded and left with Kushina and Mikoto. Kushina had wanted to stay, but Tsunade dragged her away.
Once they were gone, Shin activated the Mind's Eye of Kagura, confirming that there was no one within several dozen kilometers. His eyes turned crimson, three black tomoe swirling.
The tomoe spun faster and faster, merging into a five-pointed shuriken shape.
The Mangekyō Sharingan.
The Sharingan was a reflection of the heart. When it evolved from the three-tomoe stage to the Mangekyō Sharingan, it awakened three new abilities.
Besides the Susanoo, which was common to all Mangekyō Sharingan, the other two abilities were unique to each user, born from their deepest desires.
The Mangekyō Sharingan could awaken incredibly powerful abilities, like Obito Uchiha's Kamui and Shisui Uchiha's Kotoamatsukami.
And Shin's two abilities were perhaps even more broken.
His left eye's ability was Yomotsu Hirasaka, the ultimate Space-Time Ninjutsu. It allowed the user to travel between dimensions instantaneously, without the need for any markings or formulas.
It was far superior to the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
It was a Jutsu that could only be used by those who possessed all three dōjutsu: the Sharingan, Byakugan, and Rinnegan.
In the original story, even including Boruto, only Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Urashiki Ōtsutsuki could use this Jutsu.
But as Shin's Mangekyō ability, he could use it even without the Byakugan and Rinnegan.
His right eye's ability was even more broken. It was called Tenmomei, and if Yomotsu Hirasaka controlled space, Tenmomei controlled time.
It allowed Shin to rewind his personal time by three minutes.
Three minutes might not seem like much, but in battle, it was a game-changer.
If he was injured, he could rewind time and undo the damage.
Unless someone could kill him instantly, they wouldn't be able to harm him. He could be injured one second and perfectly fine the next.
And combined with Yomotsu Hirasaka, his survivability was practically unmatched.
"Am I really that afraid of death?" Shin chuckled to himself.
He decided to test his new abilities. He took out a Kunai and slashed his arm. His clothes tore, but his skin was unharmed.
Shin blinked. Had his skin become so tough that even a Kunai couldn't pierce it?
"Looks like I'll have to use the big guns."
He took out a scroll and unsealed a sword.
He made a small cut on his arm, then activated Tenmomei. The wound vanished instantly.
His clothes, however, remained torn. It seemed Tenmomei only affected his body. Clothes were external objects; the Jutsu didn't apply to them. The Chakra and dōjutsu strain, however, was significant.
Using Tenmomei didn't rewind the Chakra and dōjutsu exhaustion he had experienced.
