The Rasengan was actually a straightforward technique to learn. When I observed Naruto learning the wind-style variants, he used several shadow clones to accelerate the learning process. My chakra reserves weren't as ample as Naruto's, but I still used shadow clones during the process and like Naruto, I needed a shadow clone to perform the Rasengan. It took me a lot of effort, and even an all-nighter to complete the technique. I completed it in 3 days.
I felt that pretty soon I had to leave the village and continue my journey. But I stayed a little longer at the insistence of many of the villagers, one of them being Ayame, daughter of Ramen Chef Teuchi-san. She was incredibly friendly with everyone, and was pretty too. I was walking towards the Hokage's office when I saw her. She needed me - urgently. There were a horde of hungry customers waiting for their Ramen, and were not leaving until they got it. I sensed something bad. Her father was on a business trip for the day and Ayame was left to cope, all on her own. 'Honestly, I don't know how father does it sometimes', she said. 'Masakhi-san, is it possible can you help me with the noodles? I can do the soup and toppings. It's just the noodles that are troubling me.'
'Sure, no problem', I replied.
'Okay, all I need you to do is mix and knead these noodles the best you can. You can leave the stretching of the noodles to me.' I kneaded the noodles, and with the customers watching with curiosity, Ayame, lost her patience after just 5 minutes.
'No! No! No! You're doing it all wrong! You must make sure that the dough gets even kneading distribution ', it then occurred to me what I had to do.
'Shadow clone jutsu!' The customers watched on in amazement. My Shadow clone helped me form a Rasengan. I never thought that this would be my first application of the Rasengan. I pressed my Rasengan against the dough, and the rotation did all the hard work. I then summoned more shadow clones to help out Ayame. Everyone eventually got their food, and they loved it. Then, Ayame's 'favourite' customer arrived.
'I'd like one pork miso ramen with extra fishcakes … woah is that the Rasengan?', I instantly recognised his voice.
'So Naruto wants extra Naruto in his Ramen ', Jiraiya-sama appeared out of nowhere, joking about Naruto's name.
'Did Pervy-Sage teach you Rasengan?', Naruto asked.
'Yes, he's very good. And I've heard that you are too. Especially since you helped defeat those thugs, Hidan and Kakuzu', I replied.
'Well I think you two can learn a lot from each other ', It was almost as though I could read Jiraiya-sama's mind. He wanted me to spar with Naruto.
And so it was. I didn't really think this through, but I don't think Shinobi had much time to think some things through. They just did it. All I knew was that Naruto used his shadow clones and Rasengan a lot. To be fair, there wasn't much variety in his jutsu, especially when his Rasenshuriken was labelled forbidden. He was still powerful however. We wasted no time in starting.
As expected, Naruto would summon shadow clones from the beginning and begin using his taijutsu, then he would move onto using Rasengan. Only he missed every time. I made sure he didn't hit me for as long as possible. Why? I had a plan. Earlier on, I distracted him with an otherwise uneffective duststorm jutsu. It gave me just enough time to summon a shadow clone to fight for me and then sneak into a tree, to observe his attack patterns. My clone then summoned some angels to fight alongside me. We fought defensively, making sure Naruto was using up chakra and we wore him down, but eventually he got us. He was going to defeat my angels, and my clone. When he found out that it was a clone, I took the opportunity to strike.
'Rasengan!', Naruto dodged and kicked me far away as a counter attack. He then summoned multiple shadow clones and intended to finish me off. I then got out my longbow, and started gathering Dark energy. Dark Energy was a special energy, that originated from extreme waves of emotion and when infused with my chakra, it had the power to wreak havoc. I drew my longbow quickly and focussed some energy into an arrow. I fired.
'Dark Arrow: Shadow clone Jutsu!', In an instant my arrows multiplied and destroyed the clones. But it wasn't over yet. I charged towards Naruto, summoned a shadow clone and our rasengans would come into contact. We were literally at a standstill, but we both poured huge amounts of effort. I then had a thought - The markov chain. It made me so angry that I just wanted to kill the Jashins, and use this technique to wipe them out. So much anger, so much emotion was felt. And that's when it happened, I poured my emotion into my chakra so much that my Rasengan changed to a dark purple colour, and black lightning was emitting from it. It overpowered Naruto's now 'Giant Rasengan' and Naruto was sent flying. I was left standing, exhausted and victorious.
Afterwards we shook hands, and we said our goodbyes. 'You, know I would have won, if I used my Rasenshuriken!' He grinned widely. He was probably right too. I saw Kakuzu's corpse earlier and it was shredded so supernaturally. 'Take care of yourself, I hope your Journey is successful', Jiraiya-sama said. Unfortunately that would be the last I would hear from him. 'It was an honour meeting you both, and getting to know your village. My stay here will never be forgotten. I hope to come back one day.' And with that, I took my leave, with a great amount of happiness in my heart.
