"Kazekaze actually... really added chakra nature transformation into the Rasengan..." Hiruzen and Danzo were dumbfounded. Although their current strength was far from Tobirama's, they understood how difficult it was to inject nature transformation into the Rasengan. It was far from as simple as it sounded. The most terrifying thing was... Kazekaze was only seven years old this year!

"Is there really anything that can stump Kazekaze?" Hiruzen felt he was becoming numb from the constant shock Kazekaze brought him. Danzo, on the other hand, cast a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred at Kazekaze. As one of the few ninjas in the Hidden Leaf Village who used Wind Release, Danzo was very aware of how exaggerated Kazekaze's ninjutsu was. To say the least, among all the Wind Release ninjutsu Danzo had seen, Kazekaze's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken was the most astonishing.

"Kazekaze really managed to inject nature transformation into the Rasengan." Tobirama took a deep breath, his heart filled with shock. He had always known Kazekaze was a genius. A monster. No matter how difficult the ninjutsu, he could learn it easily. However, he never imagined. He merely proposed an idea. And Kazekaze actually followed through with it. Adding nature transformation into the Rasengan. This was too outrageous! How exaggerated was Kazekaze's talent?

"And also, the use of the Shadow Clone Technique..." Tobirama exerted great effort to suppress his emotions. When Kazekaze used the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, Tobirama noticed... Kazekaze was gathering chakra in his palm and rotating it in irregular directions. While his shadow clone was responsible for injecting nature transformation into the Rasengan. This was akin to how a person could look left and right at the same time. It was supposed to be impossible. Yet, Kazekaze forcefully utilized the characteristics of the Shadow Clone Technique. To achieve looking left while also looking right.

'Although from the final result, Kazekaze merely fully utilized the function of the physical clone, but... To think of this method and use it to complete the ninjutsu. How many people could do that?'

In any case, Tobirama hadn't thought of it. He didn't believe anyone else in the Hidden Leaf Village besides Kazekaze could think of this method. The most important thing was... Kazekaze was only seven years old! His mind and thinking were so sharp. If given a little more time. Who knows what terrifying ninjutsu he could develop.

'And, the chakra of this ninjutsu... It's the first time I've seen a ninjutsu with such high-density compressed chakra. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who could imagine a seven-year-old...'

Thinking of this, Tobirama couldn't help but shake his head. He felt that at this point, age was no longer the biggest issue. The real issue was the species. Yes. In Tobirama's view, this was no longer a ninjutsu that humans could develop. This was simply a monster.

"Oh, right." Kazekaze seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to look at his shadow clone, and gestured with his eyes. Although Tobirama just wanted to see if he could really add nature transformation into the Rasengan, since he used the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken anyway, Kazekaze wanted to test it. Whether his current body could withstand the damage brought by the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

Firstly, he had the ability of Passive Regeneration, with a recovery rate even stronger than Naruto's body. Secondly, although Naruto was injured in the original work, an occasional use didn't have much impact. Thirdly, Kazekaze also wanted to test the power of his Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. No matter what, the power of ninjutsu depends on the amount of chakra. For example, the B-rank ninjutsu Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation. In the hands of an ordinary ninja, it's just a very ordinary Fire Release. But in the hands of Uchiha Madara. Goodness. One might think it was some kind of S-rank Fire Release ninjutsu.

Thus, on a whim, Kazekaze's shadow clone rushed out quickly and clapped its hands. The entire ground began to tremble. Vines of various sizes rose from the ground, intertwining at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a tall Wood Human. It was... The Wood Human Technique!

Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Danzo blinked, not reacting for a moment to why Kazekaze was using Wood Release. Then, they heard Kazekaze's voice.

"Step back."

The next second, Kazekaze kicked off the ground and jumped out. However... As he inadvertently glanced at Tobirama, who was passing by, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he extended his empty left hand to gently pat Tobirama's shoulder. Then... Kazekaze pressed the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken in his hand onto the Wood Human.

"Flying Thunder God Technique."

At the moment the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken exploded, Kazekaze decisively activated the Flying Thunder God, flashing to Tobirama's side. Even he found it unbelievable. Yes. Just now, when Kazekaze patted Tobirama's shoulder, he left the Flying Thunder God's mark!

"Right, I have the Flying Thunder God Technique, why am I afraid of an energy storm?" Kazekaze couldn't help but mock himself. How could he forget the Flying Thunder God Technique he had already learned? As long as there was a ninjutsu. Even without Sage Mode. He wouldn't be harmed by the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

Boom!

The Wind Release: Rasenshuriken collided fiercely with the Wood Human, growing larger and larger, finally exploding completely, forming a bright energy storm. Enveloping the entire Wood Human. The terrifying airflow spread in all directions, sweeping through the area. Just the impact alone uprooted countless large trees. To say the least, Kazekaze's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken was twice as powerful as when Naruto fought Kakuzu.

Senju Tobirama. Sarutobi Hiruzen. Shimura Danzo. All three were drawn to the energy storm created by the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. No one expected the new technique developed by Kazekaze. To have such astonishing power. Yes. No one expected. Just by injecting Wind Release nature transformation into the Rasengan. It would... Produce such immense power!

Originally, Tobirama thought this ninjutsu would only increase the Rasengan's power by a few times, or a few dozen times. Now it seemed, it was an increase by hundreds of times. And such a terrifying ninjutsu was created by Kazekaze! Who could believe this? Even more astonishing was that the energy storm formed by the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken lasted for half a minute before gradually dissipating. And the area it enveloped was left with nothing. The destructive power could only be described as shocking. It was hard to believe this was ninjutsu...
