Naruto: Boruto Returns to Shippuden

Chapter 109 Fusion Rasengan

On a quiet night, Naruto and Sakura were worried about Sasuke, who was currently under Orochimaru's control.

So they decided to act alone, leaving Konoha Village and embarking on a journey to find Sasuke.

As a result, Jiraiya and Boruto discovered them, but Naruto didn't want to miss any opportunity, so Jiraiya had no choice but to take the three of them to Orochimaru's stronghold in Otogakure once again.

However, when they arrived at Orochimaru's stronghold, Orochimaru and his men had already left, leaving only the Fuma clan guarding the place. Since the trail had been cut off, Naruto and his friends had no choice but to give up for the time being.

......

A few days later, in a spacious training ground in Konoha Village, Jiraiya was leading Boruto and Naruto in training.

Boruto and Jiraiya stood in the center of the training field, their eyes fixed on Jiraiya, wondering what kind of powerful ninjutsu Jiraiya would teach them now.

Naruto asked Jiraiya, "Seriously, you perverted sage, what are you doing waking us up so early in the morning for training?"

Jiraiya glanced at Boruto and Naruto, then said, "Today, the focus of our training is mastering the Rasengan."

Naruto looked puzzled and asked, "Rasengan? Didn't we already master this technique? Why do we need to practice it further?"

Jiraiya held up a finger to Naruto, gently wiggling it from side to side, and replied with a smile, "No, no, no, the Rasengan I want to teach you this time is different from the Rasengan you know before."

Naruto asked again, "What's different about the Rasengan? Is it the Wind Release: Rasengan that Boruto used before?"

"No, it's a ninjutsu even more powerful than the Wind Release: Rasengan that Boruto uses."

Jiraiya looked at Naruto and Boruto and continued to explain, "If the two of you can synchronize your chakra, then it is possible to create a new Rasengan technique that has never been seen before."

Boruto nodded: "So, you want the two of us to try using a derivative ninjutsu of the Rasengan, a combination ninjutsu that requires two people to work together?"

Upon hearing Jiraiya mention the immense power of the combination ninjutsu, Naruto's eyes immediately lit up with excitement: "In that case, what are we waiting for? Let's start practicing!"

Following Jiraiya's instructions, Boruto and Naruto stood face to face, each concentrating their minds and gathering chakra in their palms.

As the two moved in sync, a faint airflow began to appear between their palms. This airflow gradually intensified, forming a visible vortex.

Boruto and Naruto tried their best to maintain the cohesion of their chakra, but the chakra between them could not remain stable for long.

Soon after, the two streams of chakra began to repel each other and could not merge, causing the originally condensed power to suddenly dissipate and vanish into nothingness.

Faced with his first failure, Naruto shook his head and said, "What? Chakra can't be maintained for long at all. It disperses very quickly. It's even more difficult to fuse it together."

Jiraiya said, "There are very few ninjas in the entire Jonin class who can synchronize the chakra of two people. Don't be discouraged by this. This kind of thing is not easy and requires time and patience. Keep practicing and you will definitely be able to master it."

Boruto and his friend then prepared to try again, but the result was the same as before: their chakra was still out of sync, and each attempt ended in failure.

Naruto muttered under his breath, "Hey, Boruto, could it be that you didn't gather your chakra properly, which is why we failed?"

Boruto said, "What...?"

Jiraiya immediately intervened to mediate, saying, "You've only just begun training this skill, so failure is perfectly normal."

Naruto and Jiraiya asked, "So what should we do? Is there a simpler and more direct way to teach us this?"

Jiraiya patiently explained to Naruto and Boruto, "You need to learn to cooperate with each other and adjust your chakra wavelengths to synchronize with each other's chakra wavelengths."

"By sensing each other's chakra flow, you can better coordinate your powers, thereby guiding the nature of chakra to change and creating new Rasengan techniques."

Jiraiya then pointed to a tree stump next to the training ground and said, "You guys practice on your own for now, I'm going to rest over there for a bit."

After saying that, Jiraiya walked to the tree stump, leaned against it, closed his eyes, and began to doze off.

......

As time quietly passed, Jiraiya awoke from his brief nap, stretched, and stood up from the tree stump.

Jiraiya's gaze swept over Boruto and Naruto, who were training, and he asked, "How's your training going? Have your chakra levels started to synchronize?"

Boruto sighed softly and replied to Jiraiya, "We tried, but it seems that we haven't made much progress, just like before. There's no significant improvement in chakra synchronization."

Naruto looked at Jiraiya with suspicion and said, "Perverted Sage, does this method really work? We've tried it so many times, but it never works."

Jiraiya said to Boruto and Naruto, "You two try again. I'll take a closer look and see where the problem lies."

Boruto and Naruto exchanged a glance, and then, as Jiraiya had requested, Boruto began to demonstrate their Rasengan fusion in front of him.

Jiraiya carefully observed Boruto and Naruto's demonstration, and then he pointed out to Boruto: "Boruto, the power of the Rasengan chakra you gathered seems to be greater than that of Naruto, which makes it difficult for your chakra wavelengths to match."

"You need to adjust your chakra so that its wavelength is in harmony with Naruto's Rasengan chakra."

Boruto turned to Naruto and made a suggestion: "Perhaps we can try this. You condense the Rasengan first, and then I will use my Rasengan based on your chakra."

Jiraiya nodded, agreeing with Boruto's suggestion, saying, "I see. This is indeed a feasible method. As expected, Boruto's talent for learning ninjutsu is much stronger than yours, Naruto."

Naruto, somewhat unconvinced by Jiraiya's teasing, retorted, "Hmph, I could have thought of that too if I had a little time, I just didn't have time to say it."

Naruto then stopped talking and focused all his attention on gathering chakra.
