The Boundless Journey, Starting From Bofuri

After a quick wash, Takeru got dressed again and walked out.

"Takeru!" As soon as he stepped out, Karin, who had been waiting outside, pounced on him.

"Karin, shouldn’t you be training?" Looking at Karin clinging to him, Takeru said helplessly.

"That can wait a bit!" Hearing Takeru’s words, Karin spoke nonchalantly.

Seeing Karin’s behavior, Ui and Ritsu looked at each other and smiled wryly.

"Oh, right, Takeru-nii! I can now use Nen to rotate the ball and make it burst. Is this level okay?" Suddenly, Ui took out a special white ball. As she injected Nen into it, and the ball received a large amount of chaotic, conflicting airflow, it directly burst open with a hole.

As the air leaked, the ball deflated.

"Although not bad, this level is still a bit lacking. You need to make the powerful airflow burst the ball instantly." Seeing that Ui could use Nen to burst the ball in just a few days, Takeru was somewhat surprised. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

However, simply bursting it wasn’t enough to truly form the Rasengan. That’s right, what Ui was currently learning was the Rasengan taught by Takeru.

Back when he first obtained Nen, Takeru had already tried to release the Rasengan. Due to his understanding of its principle and his superb control over Nen, Takeru quickly mastered the use of the Rasengan, though he hadn’t used it much before.

This time, seeing Ui so interested in the Revolving Heaven she learned from Neji, and considering Ui’s own lean toward assassin-type skills, Takeru thought the Rasengan would be a good addition for her. So, after the exams ended, he began teaching her.

First stage: bursting a water balloon. Ui easily burst the water balloon in about an hour.

Second stage: it took four more days until now to be able to burst the rubber ball. Her speed was still quite good, though this level was still a bit lacking.

Thinking this, Takeru directly used telekinesis to pull a rubber ball into his hand. Then, under the influence of his Nen, the three saw the ball quickly develop protrusions before reaching a pressure critical point and exploding into fragments.

Seeing Takeru burst the ball so easily, Ui fell into deep thought, pondering where she went wrong. Seeing Ui thinking again, Takeru didn’t say much more.

It’s worth mentioning that for Rasengan practice, Takeru only gave Ui a few simple demonstrations and told her the training methods. The rest was up to her own exploration. Reaching the level of being able to burst the rubber ball in just four days...

Although Nen itself is a bit more volatile than Chakra, purely using rotating Nen to burst a rubber ball isn’t that simple. Ui doing it in four days was enough to show her excellence.

However, Takeru also realized that for purely Emission-Type skills like this, Enhancer could unleash greater power.

Seeing Ui resume her special skill practice, Ritsu felt somewhat envious. But she didn’t have Nen, and currently, the skills she was learning, aside from two spells, were only Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

The rest of her points were basically used to strengthen herself. After all, she understood well that only with a sufficient personal foundation could she support the use of more skills.

Otherwise, even learning hundreds of skills would be useless if she couldn’t use them after just one.

As for Observation Haki and Armament Haki, they could only be improved through constant personal training. Takeru had given her some suggestions on training methods, so for now, she could only focus on continuously strengthening these two special skills to achieve a level of mastery.

Afterwards, Takeru had Karin go back to her diligent training, then also began training himself while thinking.

For Takeru and the others, 49 days had passed in this world. Only 11 days remained of the two-month period. Honestly, Takeru didn’t plan to stir up any trouble in this final stretch. He intended to spend it quietly and leave this world when the time limit arrived.

As they trained, time quickly passed until evening. As the sun was about to set, Kakashi came to Takeru’s home again.

"Kakashi-san, would you like to join us for dinner?" Noticing Kakashi’s arrival, Ui politely invited him.

"This... no, I came to see Takeru." Hearing Ui’s invitation, Kakashi shook his head.

"Alright, I’ll go get him." Hearing Kakashi say this, Ui quickly nodded.

"No need, Ui. Go back first. Kakashi and I need to discuss something." Takeru, noticing Kakashi’s arrival, quickly came out.

"I understand." Hearing Takeru say this, Ui smiled lightly and nodded, appearing very obedient.

Soon, Takeru and Kakashi arrived at a relatively secluded spot.

"Here you go." Upon arriving, Kakashi directly threw five scrolls to Takeru.

Takeru casually caught them, then checked the techniques inside.

"To think you’d be so generous, even giving up the Chidori. Looks like Obito really means a lot to you." Seeing the techniques inside, Takeru said with surprise.

Although he had said Chidori could count as two techniques, seeing Kakashi willing to give more, Takeru didn’t mind accepting them.

Then, Takeru looked at the other four Ninjutsu: Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall, Lightning Release: Shadow Clone Technique, plus the self-created Lightning Release: Chidori.

Takeru could see Kakashi’s sincerity and put the scrolls away with satisfaction.

"Let me start by telling you this: Uchiha Obito is not dead." Looking at Kakashi, Takeru said with a light laugh.

"What? That’s impossible!" Hearing Takeru’s words, Kakashi was directly stunned, his first reaction being disbelief.

He had seen Obito die with his own eyes. Hearing Takeru say this now, Kakashi naturally frowned immediately.

"You don’t believe me? Then let me ask you, did you see Uchiha Obito’s body?" Seeing Kakashi’s disbelief, Takeru wasn’t surprised at all; it seemed perfectly natural.

"..." Hearing Takeru say this, he indeed hadn’t seen Obito’s body. But that alone couldn’t confirm Obito wasn’t dead...

"See? During the Kannabi Bridge mission, Obito was only crushed by rocks and in a near-death state. In the end, he was saved by someone and survived just fine." Seeing Kakashi speechless, Takeru continued.

"If that’s the case, why didn’t he return to Konoha? Don’t tell me he lost his memory or was imprisoned!" Hearing Takeru’s words, Kakashi spoke directly.

In his heart, he hoped Obito really was alive. At the very least, it would ease his pain.

"Of course not. On the contrary, he has been active throughout the Ninja World, just under a different identity. He calls himself Uchiha Madara. Remember the organization called Akatsuki Jiraiya mentioned? He’s one of the masterminds behind it."

Seeing Kakashi so agitated, Takeru remained very calm and directly dropped another bombshell.

"One of the masterminds behind Akatsuki? How could Obito possess such power?" Hearing Takeru’s words, Kakashi’s expression grew even more complex. This information was too shocking, and currently very difficult to verify. He didn’t know whether to believe it or not.

"You must be wondering why Obito didn’t return to Konoha Village but instead went to found Akatsuki." Looking at Kakashi’s expression, Takeru continued.

"Why?" Instinctively, Kakashi asked.

"He didn’t not return to Konoha Village. He secretly came back several times, each time causing major incidents. During the Nine-Tails Attack, when the Nine-Tails’ Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kushina, was about to give birth, Obito seized the opportunity when the seal would be weakened to infiltrate Konoha Village."

"He easily broke through the powerful barriers around the hospital, captured Kushina, opened the seal, used a Summoning Technique to call the Nine-Tails, controlled it with his Dojutsu, and made the Nine-Tails destroy Konoha."

"During the Uchiha Clan Massacre, Obito’s presence was detected by Uchiha Itachi. The two reached an agreement, with the condition being not to harm Sasuke or Konoha. Later, the two joined forces to exterminate the entire clan. Since then, only Sasuke, Itachi, and Obito remained of the clan."

Takeru spoke flatly. As for the matter of Madara, Takeru didn’t bring it up directly.

"Impossible! Obito would never do such things!" Hearing Takeru’s words, Kakashi refuted again.

In his memory, Obito was just a comrade who cherished his friends, kind, caring, dream-filled, naive, valued his own pace, optimistic, lively, positive, a hothead, and a very confident fool.

"You must be very puzzled why Obito became like this. It has a lot to do with you. It was when you killed Rin that Obito happened to witness the entire scene. That’s why he completely turned to darkness."

Looking at Kakashi who still didn’t believe, Takeru spoke directly.
