As a non-professional, Haori naturally couldn't figure out how someone later on managed to use the Wind Release Rasengan Shuriken. In fact, it was pretty good that he knew about the existence of the Wind Release Rasengan Shuriken and understood that it was a powerful move.
The truth was that Naruto was able to use this jutsu while maintaining high attack power and avoiding the damage from the Wind Release Rasengan Shuriken because he used it after entering Sage Mode. In the beginning, he was also a victim of the Wind Release Rasengan Shuriken.
That unstable, super high-density Wind Release chakra state and close-range attack mode would have a huge negative impact on the user's body at the same time as killing the enemy. For a period of time, it was a forbidden jutsu.
After pondering without any results, Minato could only temporarily abandon the attribute transformation. He dispersed the Rasengan in his hand and then turned his head to look at Haori's actions.
After all, when it came to developing ninjutsu, pondering was often pointless. You needed a flash of inspiration.
Looking at Haori, his right hand, holding the scalpel, was steady. His actions were like drawing line after line of blood on his left forearm. Anyone who didn't know would think he was self-harming.
In fact, Haori was obviously doing more than just drawing lines. He wasn't carving a "早 " character to encourage himself to be diligent. It was actually a series of jutsu made up of small characters and patterns.
So, although the scalpel seemed to be flying up and down skillfully in Haori's palm, his fingertips moving constantly, he wasn't actually "drawing lines" very fast.
It has to be said that Haori was still very much in the style of a shonen manga. The tip of his knife constantly cut through his skin, severing muscles, blood vessels, and even cells in the finer details, leaving behind one mark after another. But he was like he had lost his sense of pain. He didn't even blink an eye. Okay, he wasn't actually worthy of praise or admiration because he had simply lost the pain in his left arm.
Before engaging in this behavior that was like getting a tattoo and self-dissection at the same time, he first used electricity to give himself a local anesthetic. Then, during this process, he also performed a micro-operation on his nerve endings using electrical signals.
So, he wasn't just pretending not to be in pain. He genuinely wasn't in pain.
It wasn't that he couldn't handle the pain. As a ninja, he had been stabbed and turned into a bloody mess more than once. That hurt much more than this. But if he had this convenient ability, why not use it? It wasn't difficult, after all. He would obviously choose to avoid pain if he could.
After all, as a normal person, Haori didn't have any hobbies that were even remotely similar to self-harm, which was full of positive energy.
"Haori… you should be careful about trying this jutsu. It's too much of a burden on your body." After Haori had covered his arm with a dense jutsus that ordinary ninjas would have no idea what they were, Minato finally spoke.
He had been watching Haori's movements for a while. In reality, he didn't recommend that Haori experiment on himself, but the other side's will was very firm.
Haori had of course discussed the matter with Minato and explored its feasibility. Minato would say that it was a heavy burden on the body, which actually meant that Haori's method was theoretically feasible. Once successful, the new jutsu would have extremely powerful combat efficiency and abilities. This was Haori's further development of Lightning Release.
"Don't worry, Minato-sensei. I won't make any random changes to my body. This is just a small-scale experiment. Whether it works or not is another matter… I will develop the jutsu without harming my body." Haori responded.
Minato really didn't need to worry about this. Haori was very careful with his body. He wouldn't really mess himself up. This was fundamentally different from Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was the one who dedicated his life to developing ninjutsu. His selfless spirit, which allowed him to experiment on himself without hesitation and didn't care if he messed himself up, was a realm that most people would never reach in their lifetime.
Besides, even if he messed himself up, he could just jump into someone else's body and be done with it. He could avoid all negative buffs.
"As long as you can handle the situation…" Minato said.
Haori was a very determined person. Since he had said this, Minato didn't want to dissuade him any further.
In fact, Minato was a bit confused. At Haori's age, he already had this kind of strength. Why was he still so eager to constantly improve himself? In his opinion, it seemed a bit too ambitious. It was clear that natural growth was the best choice.
Haori's mental pressure was something he couldn't tell anyone. So, his actions seemed a bit incomprehensible.
But since Haori wanted to do this, he would let him do it for now. After all, he and Kushina were watching him. He wouldn't be led astray… Minato thought silently.
Were all the young ninjas these days so difficult to deal with? Minato suddenly felt that his path to Hokage was a long and arduous one.
"Of course, I'll be careful. No problem." Haori said, while cleaning the blood off his arm. Then, he rubbed a bunch of topical medicine on his wound. Then, he prepared to bandage his arm.
But it was a bit inconvenient with one hand. At that moment, Minato, who was next to him, took the bandage from Haori's hand and skillfully bandaged his arm.
As the saying goes, "To each their own, mutual benefit." This was much better than Kushina.
As Haori had said, this was just an experiment. Things couldn't happen overnight. He didn't have that kind of expectation. Everything had to be done step by step. So, the carving of the jutsu stopped there. The rest was gradual experimentation and improvement.
Haori wasn't hoping for a 1.0 version. He was hoping for the 2.0 and 3.0 versions later on.
After the bandage was finished, Haori lowered his sleeve to hide his arm. He was about to thank Minato, but at that moment, Chōji Akimichi and Shizune Yūgao walked in.
"Minato, we just received a new order. Our departure time has been moved up. The order requires us to go to the Land of Rice Fields as soon as possible." Chōji Akimichi said.
"As soon as possible?"
"It's best to leave immediately."
"…"
But since the order required this, Minato's squad naturally had no reason not to obey.
So, Minato nodded and said, "Are you all ready? If there are no problems, we'll report it and leave immediately."
The other three nodded to indicate that they were ready.
So, Minato's squad quickly began to move.
Ninjas have this advantage: they can leave whenever they want… In reality, they didn't need to prepare anything. As for luggage and supplies, they didn't really have anything else besides the ninja tools they needed to carry with them at all times.
As for mental preparation, it was just going from one battlefield to another. What was there to prepare for?
If it were other ninjas, for safety's sake, it would be best to gather a certain number of people and form a group before transferring. But Minato's squad didn't need to do that.
It's still the same thing. With their strength, they could really just leave whenever they wanted.
And orders don't change suddenly without a reason. Since the order was to transfer immediately, it meant that the situation in Kumogakure must have been quite serious.
