…
The next day’s early morning.
Watatsumi arrived at the Training Field – R3, where the newly formed Team – Ro was to be assembled for some combat training and to receive the basics of their first mission.
Watatsumi took a quick look around and noticed that the other four members of Team – Ro, i.e. Akame, Rabbit, Hana, and Weasel – are all present.
“Captain!” — the four members of the Team – Ro greeted Watatsumi.
“Good, you’re all here on time.” “There are two reasons for calling the four of you in the early morning,” Watatsumi said after a brief pause. “First, we need to figure out what combat methods we’ll use on missions. Each of you has told me about your skill sets and areas of specialization. As the captain of Team – Ro, I now need to know your skill level and the current strength of the four of you in order to design appropriate fighting strategies.”
“How are you going to do it, captain?” – Weasel inquired as he raised his hand.
“Of course, by direct combat.” – Watatsumi responded to Weasel’s query.
“It makes sense…” – Rabbit and Hana exchanged nods.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“And what is the second reason?” Akame inquired.
“I’m glad you inquired.” “Here is a scroll in my hand, it records the second reason for calling out the four of you, as the captain of Team – Ro, I am assigning the four of you a mission, and the mission is to steal this scroll from me,” Watatsumi said, pulling a white scroll from his shinobi bag.
Use any and all methods necessary, or better yet, I’m ordering you four to use every means and tactic available to you, from the brightest and most clever to the dirtiest and most deceiving… Everything is permissible. Even critical damage or killing me is permitted, but you must steal this scroll from me within the 24-hour time restriction.
Please keep in mind that if the four of you fail to perform this duty, you will all be expelled out of the Anbu department, understand?”
“Are you serious, Captain?” Hana inquired, surprised.
“Yes, even if you’re the team’s captain… and even if you’re stronger than all four of us, you’d be battling all four of us at the same moment…” – Akame frowned as she spoke.
“Not to mention ordering us to use any and all means duri-… *cough-cough* during practice,” says the narrator. Rabbit added his two cents.
Only Weasel remained mute, and he began to plan some counter-strategies against Watatsumi. He didn’t challenge Watatsumi’s comments because he was well aware of Watatsumi’s strength. And he realized that defeating Watatsumi would require them to employ all of their might and more.
“I am incredibly serious, come at me with everything you have,” Watatsumi warned, “because anything less would be uninteresting.”
“Isn’t he staring down at us?” Hana asked.
“It’s not about looking down on you,” Watatsumi remarked, shaking his head. “There’s just that much strength disparity between us. Try it for yourself if you don’t trust me. One of the goals of this test is to provide each of you with a wake-up call… I have gone over each of your records to see what missions you’ve done so far… However, believe me when I tell… The operations that Team – Ro will be doing from now on will be on a whole other level.”
Hearing Watatsumi’s statements, the four exchanged glances before nodding.
“Alright, if you say so,” Akame nodded blankly. “However, don’t blame us later. Anyway, Tsunade-sama is in the village, so you won’t die captain even if you get harmed.”
“We’ll see about that,” Watatsumi joked.
“Sure, we’ll do it.” – all four said at the same time.
“Alright, now that that’s decided, one thing I want all of you to know is that I won’t attack until you four launch an attack… So you can be patient and plan your strategy, but keep in mind the time restriction. Now that we’ve clarified everything, the present time is 04:32:29 AM, this test will begin at 04:33:00 AM and end at 04:32:59 AM tomorrow, understand?” – Watatsumi expressed his thoughts.
“Yes!” – The four nodded and prepared themselves…
“Alright, 20… 17… 15… 11… 7… on the count of three, three… three… two… one… START!”
All four of them vanished from their positions and hid away in an instant.
They weren’t hidden from his Byakugan, but he did give them the time they needed to prepare. Watatsumi retrieved another scroll from his shinobi bag and thought to himself, ‘I suppose I should start learning the Rasengan as well.’
Rasengan is the apex of Shape Transformation, according to Yondaime Hokage, and learning it isn’t easy… but it isn’t impossible.
There was a clear three-step process given in the story for learning the Rasengan.
- Rotation: The chakra must be spun in several directions at the same time.
- Power: To enhance the degree of damage, the input chakra’s density and volume must be raised.
- Containment: The powerful spinning chakra must be contained in the shape of a ball in this step.
Individual approaches for learning these three processes include churning water in a water balloon until it explodes, exploding a rubber ball, and lastly spinning chakra inside an air balloon without allowing it to pop or move for steps 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
That is a basic strategy that can assist in the mastering of Rasengan when combined with hard work. Kuroto, on the other hand, does not need to devote so much time to it. Kuroto’s chakra control is excellent as a Hyuga, so he believes that mastering Rasengan won’t be too tough for him.
After making that decision, Kuroto studied the scroll containing the mechanism and an in-depth explanation of the Rasengan according to Yondaime Hokage and then began the three-step process by removing a filled water balloon and twisting his chakra to churn the water inside the water balloon.

POV Shift.
“What is he doing?” Akame inquired of Hana.
“Well…” Hana explained, ” He’s just standing there and doing something to a water balloon with his chakra…”
“It’s a little aggravating that he doesn’t seem to take us seriously.” With a groan, Rabbit said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ano, what good is it for us to be hiding here? He has the Byakugan, after all… I’m confident the captain is aware of our exact location…” – Weasel remarked.
“I understand, but we must design a strategy… Moving away won’t help; instead, let’s plan a strategy… It’s possible that if we convince him that we’re under his watch, he’ll let down his guard a little. So, in order to design a strategy, we’ll need to bring out all of the information we have on his skills…” – Akame stated and took the charge as she is the most senior of the four.
“He has approximately 360-degree eyesight with Byakugan…”
“He is obviously very proficient at Gentle Fist Style Taijutsu, as he is one of the strongest Hyuga…”
“I’ve heard he’s also a master of Strong Fist Style Taijutsu…”
“He wields that sword as well, and there are whispers that he is currently Konoha’s best Kenjutsu user…”
“I’ve heard he also utilizes poisons and venoms, so we’ll have to keep an eye out for that…”
“He’s also skilled in Shurikenjutsu…”
“He’s also a Fuinjutsu master… I heard a story that he knows practically all of Konoha’s Fuinjutsu…”
“Does he employ any basic chakra Natures Ninjutsu?”
“He doesn’t appear to… I’d never heard of it…”
“He also doesn’t appear to be a Genjutsu practitioner…”
“Yes, but Genjutsu doesn’t work on him either…”
“How are we going to beat him?”
“The captain stated that we must steal the scroll; do, we do not have to defeat him in order to steal that particular scroll…”
“That is correct, but we must also prepare for the struggle… Getting close to him without alarming him is nearly impossible now that he possesses Byakugan…”
“What if we take advantage of the Byakugan’s blind spot? He’s a Branch House member…”
“That might work… So… we’ll do this… and then that… and we do so based on his response…”
