Chapter 8
"Minatsuki, you performed very well, you are already better than many Chunins."
"There is also that kind of soft fist technique that can burst out quickly, which is very interesting. You developed it yourself, right?"
Looking at Kakashi who was obviously injured, Namikaze Minato didn't want to blame him too much, so he turned to Hinata Kaitsuki to comfort him.
"This time it's Kakashi's fault. He almost hurt you."
"I apologize to you on his behalf."
Namikaze Minato was very interested in Hinata Minato's inch power, because he was also developing a similar technique recently, about the change of chakra form. It was similar to Hinata Minato
's inch power. And... He glanced at Hinata Minato. Just before Hinata Minato was hit by Raikiri, he actually exuded an extremely dangerous aura, which made him a little frightened.
But now it disappeared again, so Namikaze Minato didn't care, thinking it was an illusion caused by the intense battle.
"Namikaze Jonin, it's okay."
"I'm not injured either."
Hinata Minazuki shook his head, indicating that he was fine. He was thankful that he had resisted the urge to activate the gene lock at the critical moment, otherwise it would be difficult to explain in front of Minato Namikaze.
He was also certain that Minato Namikaze would not watch the two of them get injured and would definitely take measures.
In front of the fastest man in the ninja world, two little Karamis who were not even senior ninjas could hardly make any waves.
As for the outcome of this battle,...If we put aside his hidden card of gene lock, he thought that he was still slightly inferior to Kakashi.
After all, Kakashi was two years younger than him and his body was not fully developed, but he was able to fight him closely, accurately grasp the timing and weaknesses, and even suppress him with the lightning ninjutsu he developed.
"really...There is still a gap between me, a fake genius, and the real geniuses in this world...."
"If there is no gene lock, the gap will be more obvious."
Hinata Minazuki secretly tried his best. After seeing the cruel reality, he would not use a draw to paralyze himself.
After a while, after Nohara Lin's treatment, Kakashi regained his mobility, and Hinata Minazuki also recovered his physical strength.
The four of them stood in a row.
"Well, today we officially joined a new member in our team"
"Although I have said hello, I haven't introduced you in detail yet."
"Let's introduce ourselves to each other so that Hinata Minazuki can get to know us."
Namikaze Minato said with a bright smile. He was very satisfied with Hinata Minazuki's arrival.
Not only because of the ability of the Byakugan, Hinata Minazuki was a genius who was not inferior to Kakashi, but also compared to Kakashi and Obito, he was not a problem boy, which might make it easier for him to lead the team.
"Let me introduce myself first."
"I am Namikaze Minato, my job title is Jonin, I am good at instant body movement and wind escape, my hobby is reading, my favorite food is the dishes cooked by Kushina, and my dream is to become a Hokage"
"Minazuki, from now on, just call me Minato-sensei."
Namikaze Minato was the first to introduce himself, which was also a regular part of the Konoha team.
"Hatake Kakashi, a Chunin, is good at swordsmanship and ninjutsu. He doesn't like or dislike anything, he just hopes to complete the mission."
Surprisingly, it was Kakashi who spoke next, although his expression and tone were very cold and brief.
But everyone knew that Kakashi had been bad at speaking since his father's death. He took the initiative to speak because he recognized Hinata Minazuki as his teammate.
"I am from the Uchiha family, Uchiha Obito!"
Uchiha Obito folded his hands and introduced himself. Although he was still a little indignant, he recognized the strength of Hinata Minazuki.
"Genin, good at fire escape, favorite food is red bean cake and three-color meatballs, favorite person....Ahem, my dream is the same as Mr. Namikaze's, to become a Hokage!"
Uchiha Obito kept looking at Nohara Rin secretly, the meaning was self-evident. Nohara
Rin also introduced herself, lowered her head and spoke, looking a little shy,
"Hello, I'm Nohara Lin"
"He is a Konoha Genin, good at medical ninjutsu, his favorite food is fried tofu rice balls, and his dream is to become a medical ninja like Tsunade."
"If you are injured, I will try my best to help you."
Hinata Minazuki took a deep look at the pretty girl with purple lines on her face.
She was so gentle....It's a pity that in this world, you can't be treated well just by being gentle
"Hinata Minazuki, Konoha Genin, good at physical skills, favorite food is grilled pork chop, dream.."
""I want to become a strong man like Senior Hyuga Tennin."
Hyuga Kaigetsu hesitated for a moment, thinking whether he should show that he is closer to the Hokage family and talk about his dream of becoming a Hokage for Konoha, but when he thought about his identity as a branch family, he decided not to make trouble, otherwise those sensitive guys in the main family might target him behind his back.
"Hinata...Tennin?"
"It's a good goal."
Namikaze Minato nodded. He had heard of this name. It was said that he was a strong man of the same generation as the first generation. He was also amazing and famous in the ninja world at that time.
It was normal for the Hyuga clan to regard their predecessors as idols.
"Since there are new teammates here, I'll treat you."
"Let's go to team building and eat barbecue together!"
Namikaze Minato waved his hand and directly said that he would treat everyone.
As a jonin, Namikaze Minato naturally couldn't be short of money, and he was even very rich.
""Okay! Let's eat barbecue!"
Uchiha Obito jumped up first. Because of the barbecue, he no longer had any hostility towards Hyuga Minazuki.
Nohara Rin was a little looking forward to it, but Kakashi and Hyuga Minazuki didn't express anything.
The former was in a ninja crisis and his feelings about material desires were reduced to the lowest level.
The latter often bought some meat to grill for herself in order to get enough nutrition during the growth period, and had no feelings for meat a long time ago.
But Kakashi and Hyuga Minazuki did have something in common, that is, they were very enthusiastic about practicing.
On the way to the barbecue restaurant, Hyuga Minazuki walked up to Namikaze Minato with a shy smile on his face.
"Minato-sensei, I heard that you are very good at wind escape..."
If you don't use it, it will be invalid after the expiration date.
Since you have become a member of the Namikaze team, put aside the plot and work hard to improve yourself first. After all, even if Minato Namikaze is not a perfect form now, he is still one of the few great masters in Konoha.
And with Minato Namikaze's personality, he will never hide his knowledge and is very happy to guide the younger generation.
Minato Namikaze was stunned and nodded.
"That's right..."
Kakashi listened to the conversation between the two and his expression changed. He suddenly felt a little pressured in this team.
As for Uchiha Obito, he was still heartlessly circling around Nohara Rin......
At the Konoha training ground, the first day of the team gathering was to test Hinata Minazuki.
After passing the test, they needed to do the mission seriously. After a half-day break, the Minato team gathered again.
Before the gathering time, Namikaze Minato explained some of his experience as a senior.
"There are roughly two directions for the nature of wind-attribute chakra changes."
Namikaze Minato held a leaf in his hand and demonstrated to Hinata Kaitsuki,
"One is floating and light."
A breeze was blowing around, and the leaves in Minato Namikaze's palm were suspended for no reason and slowly rotated in the air.
"I usually use it to enhance the instant body technique, which can greatly reduce the resistance between the body and the air."
Hinata Minazuki watched carefully, and Kakashi and Rin beside him were also unwilling to miss this rare opportunity.
Namikaze Minato has definitely gone further than most people in Konoha on the road of ninja.
Nohara Rin is not a combat ninja, and cannot be exposed to such advanced techniques, so she is very curious.
Although Kakashi does not have wind attribute chakra, he can draw inferences from other things and be inspired.
Moreover, Kakashi's personality also destined him to be unwilling to ask Namikaze Minato about the issue of training.
"The other is sharp, cutting.."
"It can be used in wind-style ninjutsu, or added to ninja tools to increase its power."
Minato Namikaze pinched the leaf suspended in the air with two fingers, and gently let it go. The leaf had been cut into several neat pieces.
It was obvious that Minato Namikaze had already practiced the changes in the nature of wind-attribute chakra to a certain peak, and it was almost effortless.
"I am better at the former because my reaction speed is faster than that of the average ninja."
"There will be an advantage in speed."
Namikaze Minato said with a casual smile.
In a place where others could not see, Hinata Kaizuki's mouth twitched.
‘Just faster?...You are the fastest in the ninja world!..’
"The latter..."
"The one who has the highest achievement is not me, but Kakashi's father."
Minato Namikaze glanced at Kakashi and couldn't help but think of that amazing and powerful ninja, with a white-glowing white-fanged blade in one hand, and a powerful wind attribute that could cut through almost anything, and the extreme speed and sharpness made him famous on the battlefield.
It's a pity...
Hinata Minazuki was a little surprised. Was Konoha White Fang a wind attribute ninja?
No wonder Kakashi didn't use the sword later, but developed Raikiri instead. It turned out that he couldn't inherit Konoha White Fang's legacy.
Although the attributes of chakra can be cultivated after birth, it is obvious that the innate chakra attributes will have more advantages. The chakra attributes cultivated after birth cannot reach a very high level.
"Originally Kakashi was supposed to learn his father's ninjutsu, but Kakashi didn't have wind attribute chakra."
"Fortunately, you have it, but I am quite surprised."
Namikaze Minato looked at Hinata Minato. After getting to know him, he was quite impressed with this new team member. He not only had great potential, but also had a calm personality and groundbreaking ideas.
Unlike those Hinatas who stuck to the soft fist, he even took the initiative to ask him about the knowledge of nature change.
Hinata Minato knew deeply that the soft fist of Hinata might still maintain its advantage at the Jonin stage, but at the level above Jonin, it would have no advantage at all.
Only flexibility is the way out.
As for such flexibility, it has been said in the original work that the combination of chakra's form change and nature change can exert the greatest power of the technique. Sure enough,
Namikaze Minato also said,
"When you have mastered the transformation of the properties to the extreme, you need to combine it with the transformation of the form."
"Just like the jutsu Kakashi used yesterday, if completed, it would be a very powerful jutsu."
"At least A-level, or even S-level ninjutsu"
"I am also researching this direction, but I haven't made much progress."
Namikaze Minato looked at Hinata Kaitsuki with a hint of expectation.
"The technique used by Jie Yue last time gave me some inspiration."
"Using the power of the spiral to greatly enhance the power of chakra's transformation coincides with my idea."
Hinata Kaitsuki did not hide his secrets. Even if he didn't say it, Namikaze Minato would develop the Rasengan sooner or later.
It would be better to tell the key point now and win Namikaze Minato's favor.
"I had this idea by accident."
"My soft fist is not powerful enough because my body and chakra are not mature enough. The amount of chakra that can be stimulated in a hurry is far less than that of an adult ninja."
"In order to solve the problem of strength, I thought of changing the output form of the soft fist chakra, using a spiral method to enhance the power of the attack."
"Although it loses the internal destructive power of the soft fist, it gains a stronger striking power than the hard fist."
"It also completes the system of soft fist"
"It took me many trials and errors before I succeeded."
As one of the few ninjutsu with detailed explanations, Hyuga Minazuki naturally knew the Rasengan, having learned it on his own a long time ago.
However, the Rasengan was not suitable for the soft fist system, and if it was invented directly, it would easily collide with Minato Namikaze, causing unnecessary trouble.
So Hyuga Minazuki chose a compromise solution, combining the soft fist system to create the Eight Diagrams Inch Force.
As he spoke, Hyuga Minazuki raised his hand and gathered the chakra in his palm to form a spiral shape, but did not let it form a Rasengan, but instead shot it out at a critical point! With a bang, there was a loud bang in the air with amazing power. When it hits a person, it leaves a bloody hole.
As for the comparison with the Rasengan, it can only be said that each has its own merits.
The Rasengan has stronger penetration and stability, while the Inch Force is launched faster and more concealed, and it destroys the surface structure.
""Amazing! What a genius idea!"
Namikaze Minato gave this technique a high evaluation without hesitation, with a look of amazement on his face.
"The strongest point of this technique is not its power, but its concealment and extremely fast activation. If the enemy has insufficient information about your technique in battle, it will have a great advantage."
"That’s why it’s called"Inch Power""
""The unmarked ninjutsu is at least an A-level ninjutsu,"
Minato Namikaze saw the greatest value of the inch force at a glance, which is that the launch speed is extremely fast, making it hard to defend against.
Kakashi also saw something strange about Hinata Minazuki.
This guy... seems to be a real genius, even stronger than him.
At least his current development of the lightning escape secret technique has not been completed, but Hinata Minazuki can already put an A-level ninjutsu into practice. Hinata
Minazuki smiled and said nothing.
What kind of genius is he? Compared with Minato Namikaze and Kakashi, he is just more creative than ordinary people in terms of techniques, and he is more standing on the shoulders of giants.
