Chapter 46: A Day in the Life of a Rope Tree
Konoha.

After returning from the front line, Zhang Shan and his colleagues started a new life.

Sheng Shu came to harass Zhang Shan every day. Zhang Shan asked him to run ten laps around Konoha every day. At first, Sheng Shu was extremely unwilling, but after being taught a lesson by Zhang Shan twice, he still ran laps obediently.

"Yes, yes! Put it down gently! Gently!"

"Hey! Over there..."

Zhang Shan instructed the ninjas who were delivering equipment to him to handle them with care and not to bump into his treasures.

Those ninjas had blank expressions on their faces. They were just here to do work. They naturally tried their best to meet all of Zhang Shan's requests. It was about making money, so they were not afraid.
When he was the only one left in the laboratory, Zhang Shan looked at these completely epoch-making instruments, and the smile on his face became increasingly unbridled.

"The next step is to draw blood for research. Who should we start with?"

Just when Zhang Shan was thinking about something, the voice of that stupid Sheng Shu came from outside the door.

"Master! I'm here to practice!"

After hearing Sheng Shu's voice, Zhang Shan instantly got the answer to what he was still thinking about.

Snapped!
Bang!
Open the door, pull the rope tree, and close the door.

Throwing the rope tree into the corner, Zhang Shan took out a syringe and said with a kind smile: "Be good, don't move, it will be over soon!"

“No…No! Don’t do that!!!”

After finishing, Sheng Shu collapsed on the ground with tears in her eyes, like a young wife who had been abused.

"Okay, go run around Konoha a few times, and then go learn the Rasengan from Minato. Don't bother me unless you have nothing to do." After waving his hand, Zhang Shan no longer cared about Rope Tree, returned to his laboratory, and began to study the bloodline of the Senju.

Although the item was given to scientist Zhang Shan for research, when he really got the item, Zhang Shan still wanted to study it himself, otherwise he would feel sorry for the knowledge he had gained from scientist Zhang Shan.

Sheng Shu left Zhang Shan's big villa with tears in his eyes. The place on his arm where blood had been drawn had recovered. With a sigh, Sheng Shu started today's training.

While running around Konoha, he met his good brother Might Dai. The two of them ran faster and faster, and finally they both fell to the ground.

Might Day is Might Guy's father, but compared to Guy, Day's life is not so good. Practicing martial arts without money means burning his life and overdrawing his future.

However, since he is not from a mystical family, it seems that he has only one way out: risking his life.

Fortunately, he has met Rope Tree now. After the two of them practiced together, Rope Tree would always take out some good body-building resources to share with Might Dai. After a period of time, Might Dai felt that his body had improved a lot.

After rejecting Might Guy's invitation for extra training, Nawaki happily went to find Minato to practice the Rasengan.

How can physical skills be as useful as ninjutsu? Moreover, he doesn't lack chakra at all. How desperate must he be to practice physical skills? Wouldn't it be better to throw Rasenshuriken from a distance?
When he saw the Rasenshuriken for the first time, a voice in Nawaki's heart urged him to learn this super cool ninjutsu!
Even though the Third Hokage later listed the Rasenshuriken as a forbidden technique, it did not shake Nawaki's determination to learn it.

Not strong enough? Then he would learn magic to improve his physical strength.

As long as he can learn the Rasenshuriken, Nawaki can force himself to calm down and learn anything!
When they arrived at Mito's house, Nawaki came over to Minato who was studying the Four Symbols Seal, and excitedly asked him to continue teaching him the Rasengan.

Minato looked at Nawase helplessly, took out a balloon, and let Nawase practice on his own.

"Haven't I told you the methods of cultivation? You can practice on your own. There's no need to come to me every day." Sheng Shu became a little shy when talking about this.

He didn't want to bother Minato, but it had been three or four days and he still couldn't burst the water balloon. Rope Tree, who thought he had calmed down, was beginning to feel exhausted.

So, now Sheng Shu is eager to know how to burst this water balloon.

"Minato! Just tell me the secret! I really need it!" Nawaki clasped his hands together, looking pleading.

"This..." Minato was embarrassed. How difficult is it to burst a water balloon? He found the trick very quickly, but he was troubled by the fact that he did not have enough chakra at the time, so it took him several days to complete the first stage of training and use his own chakra to burst the water balloon.

Why does it feel like the Rasengan has become so difficult now that we're at Rope Tree?
"Lord Minato!" Nawaki looked at Minato with his big eyes full of anticipation, which made it difficult for Minato to refuse.

Finally, Minato smiled and said, "Okay, you start practicing now, and I'll see what's wrong."

Sheng Shu was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly filled the balloon with water and began his own practice.

Hua Hua Hua~
Soon the water balloon in Shengshu's hand turned into a flying pancake, spinning at high speed and becoming flat.

This scene really shocked Minato!

"No? This chakra..." Minato was so envious!

Although he has a lot of chakra, it is far from enough compared to Rope Tree.

If Minato's chakra is compared to 1, then Nawaki's chakra is about 30.

"Come to think of it, Zhang Shan's chakra capacity is also terrifying."

"Ahhh!" Rope Tree stared at the 'flying pancake' in his hand. He used all his mind and energy to spin the chakra in his palm frantically, trying to explode the 'flying pancake'.

However, his method was wrong from the beginning, so how could he achieve the desired effect?

Seeing this, Minato sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Nawaki, I can't help you with this."

"Eh? Why?"

Rope Tree, who was concentrating on his studies, was startled by these words. The chakra in his palm suddenly lost control and became very chaotic.

In the next second, the water balloon in his hand exploded!

Bang!
The powerful water flow hit the two people, causing Minato to feel pain all over his body. He couldn't help but secretly complained: "It hurts! How much chakra does Nawaki have?"

And Shengshu himself was also stunned, but after a brief moment of daze, he burst into cheers that shook the sky!
"Great! I finally succeeded!!" Then, he looked at Minato with full expectation: "Minato! I succeeded! Can I start the next stage of training?"

Wiping the water stains off his face, Minato methodically took out another balloon, skillfully made it into a water balloon, and handed it to Nawaki: "One more time."

Just now, it was completely a case of Rope Tree accidentally bursting the water balloon. But Rope Tree did not comprehend the true core of the Rasengan, so unless Rope Tree bursts this water balloon again, Minato will not let him start the next stage of training.
