Kazekaze looked straight ahead, and all he saw was the bare ground. What kind of ninjutsu is this? It's practically a mini mushroom bomb. The seven or eight-meter wooden figure was directly shattered into several pieces by the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, flying backward from its original position and turning into debris. Such astonishing power was beyond Kazekaze's expectations.

'Although I now master Wood Release, and with just a clap of my hands, I can create wooden figures and dragons. But in terms of destructive power, the Wood Human Technique and Wood Dragon Technique can't compare to the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.' It's no exaggeration to say that Kazekaze believes this Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is currently his strongest ninjutsu.

Moreover, he made an amazing discovery. That is, the only flaw of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. To be precise, the only flaw before mastering Sage Mode. He perfectly avoided it by using the Flying Thunder God Technique for instant movement. Kazekaze raised his right hand and lowered his head. Not to mention his right hand, even the sleeve of his haori was intact. From this point, it was enough to prove that he successfully escaped before the energy storm of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken occurred. Very perfect.

This even reminded Kazekaze of the battle between Minato Namikaze and the masked man. Minato, with his agile mind, analyzed the masked man's abilities. Then, at the moment of confrontation, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to launch a Rasengan at his opponent. If Minato had used the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken instead of the Rasengan at that time... Just thinking about it, Kazekaze felt it would have been enough for the masked man to handle.

Additionally, it's worth mentioning... The true identity of the masked man was actually Minato's disciple, Obito Uchiha.

"Was that... Wind Release ninjutsu just now?" Danzo rubbed his eyes hard, always believing he was the most outstanding Wind Release ninja in the Hidden Leaf Village. Although Hiruzen Sarutobi mastered all five nature transformations, Wind Release happened to be his weakest area. However, now, not only was he surpassed by Kazekaze in the field of Wind Release ninjutsu. The Wind Release: Rasenshuriken he used. It completely overturned his understanding of Wind Release ninjutsu.

All along, Danzo's understanding of Wind Release ninjutsu was wind blades like Vacuum Wave. Or infusing Wind Release chakra into kunai. To enhance the power of the kunai. But... "Was that thing just now also Wind Release?" Danzo couldn't help but feel that his understanding of Wind Release had completely collapsed.

"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken..." Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists, softly chanting the name of this ninjutsu. All along, he thought Kazekaze only knew Water Release and Earth Release. He never expected that Kazekaze... Was also hiding Wind Release!

"If it were Water Release and Earth Release, it probably wouldn't have enhanced the power of the Rasengan so dramatically." In Hiruzen's view. Only Wind Release. Could fully unleash the power of the Rasenshuriken. This feeling was indescribable for Hiruzen. It always felt like Kazekaze was a child of destiny. He not only possessed an extraordinarily intelligent mind but also the finest bloodlines of the Senju and Uzumaki clans. If Kazekaze didn't have Wind Release chakra, he couldn't have developed the Rasengan to this extent.

"In other words, Kazekaze has no weaknesses..." At this moment, Hiruzen couldn't help but wonder. Is Kazekaze, like himself, a ninja proficient in all five nature transformations? And he thought it was very possible. "What a terrifying Wind Release ninjutsu." Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed." Tobirama agreed, "I never expected that a seven-year-old Kazekaze could develop such a terrifying ninjutsu. It's truly eye-opening." Even Tobirama, known as the God of Ninjutsu. Hadn't developed a ninjutsu with such astonishing power. The only ninjutsu that could compare to the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. Might be the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags technique. However... That ninjutsu was a tactic paired with Edo Tensei. And it involved continuously summoning explosive tags for pinpoint explosions. It was continuous damage. In terms of instant burst, it actually couldn't match Kazekaze's ninjutsu.

The most terrifying thing is, Kazekaze is only seven years old. Seven years old... 'What was I doing at seven... At seven, I wasn't even developing ninjutsu; just practicing ninjutsu took a long time.' Tobirama sighed in his heart. That's because he was born early. He's from Kazekaze's grandfather's generation. Otherwise, if he were the same age as Kazekaze. He might not even qualify to carry Kazekaze's shoes. Especially...

'Although the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken can only attack targets at close range, if paired with the Flying Thunder God Technique, it can achieve unexpected effects.' In Tobirama's view, there aren't many ninjas in the entire ninja world who can compete with Kazekaze in terms of ninjutsu destructive power. In terms of strength, Kazekaze has already far surpassed the average Jonin. 'At seven, he already possesses the strength of an Elite Jonin.' Tobirama couldn't help but gaze at Kazekaze, taking a deep breath. His current mood was truly a mix of surprise and joy. Although comparing talents with Kazekaze might hurt his own self-esteem, just thinking that he is his grandson, the future hope of the Hidden Leaf Village. The next Hokage. The joy in Tobirama's heart far outweighed any other emotions.

But what Kazekaze was thinking about now was something else. 'Although the Flying Thunder God Technique ensures I won't be swept into the energy storm of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. But how to attack the opponent is a problem.' Although he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to initiate an attack, the problem is... If he could imprint the Flying Thunder God formula on someone, he could eliminate the enemy without using the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. Moreover... Even though he learned the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, he needs a shadow clone to cooperate.

'Once a certain time passes without action, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken will dissipate due to inability to maintain. In other words, Sage Mode is still crucial.' Although Kazekaze thought of several ways to attack the enemy unexpectedly. But it must be said, these methods are not as simple and violent as throwing the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken from a distance. Besides, Sage Mode itself is also an extremely powerful ninjutsu.

"Grandpa Tobirama." Thinking of this, Kazekaze became more determined. No matter what, he must go to Mount Myoboku. To train there for a while. To learn Sage Arts. To completely master the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

"What's up?" Tobirama turned to Kazekaze and asked.

"I want to leave the village for a while," Kazekaze took a deep breath and asked back, "Grandpa Tobirama, have you heard of Mount Myoboku?" Although Kazekaze thought Hashirama's Sage Mode was taught by Shikkotsu Forest, he preferred Mount Myoboku.
