I Alone Am The Exception!

Chapter 27: A Surprise Visit

I squinted my eyebrows in frustration right next to the other 1,000 of mes doing the same as we were trying to learn and absorb everything we could about fuinjutsu, or the technique of seals.

This... might honestly take me far longer than I had anticipated. Without any rest whatsoever, I could become a seal master like my parents were just barely in time before my match would begin in the Chunin Exams in a little less than a month now.

But I needed to be in top shape for my battle against Orochimaru, so that wasn't something I could really do. Especially not now. Plus, during this past week I've had at least a hundred Shadow Clones working on other things like the variations of the Rasengan.

And I'll say it, despite not liking Boruto until Two Blue Vortex, my favorite Rasengan was by far the Compression Rasengan. It was far deadlier than my counterpart's Giant Rasengan due to the sheer pressure being applied to it.

I slowly rose from my position and stretched. I created another clone of myself and had them focus on the scroll while I stepped to the side and focused on creating variations of the Rasengan and blending my Techniques together.

I don't know why I've never thought of blending my abilities together until now. My eyes have been blending with each other since the very start. The Six Eyes, White Eyes, Copy Wheel Eyes, the Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eyes, and now the Reincarnation Eyes. They've all become a blend of one another. I thought to myself in annoyance as I closed my eyes and pointed my finger at a nearby mountain. Let's see if I can try to blend Dismantle with Amaterasu...

I smirked with a cocky grin. For some reason, using Cleave or Dismantle makes me feel more arrogant, cocky, and prideful. I thought as I declared, "Blaze Release: Embodiment of the Arcane!"

My eyes widened in utter shock. The mountain top at which I had been pointing at... was gone now. The entire top half of the mountain had been cut at such speed that not even my incredibly broken eyes caught it, meaning it moved massively faster than light itself. The remaining half of the mountain had a ring of flames on top of it that reached twenty feet high.

I held out my hand, "Kagutsuchi." I stated and the flames vanished.

I smirked, This is going to be fun... Orochimaru!

...

I held out my hands in front of me again as I repelled Jiraiya from getting closer to me.

Jiraiya swam through handseals and I copied his. "Water Style: Water Stream Jet!" We declared at the same time and the two jutsus clashed.

We both substituted with clones before smashing our forearms into each other. My eyes glowed as Jiraiya summoned Ma and Pa on his shoulders, kicking me away.

I flipped midair and landed on my feet, skidding across the ground only briefly as I subtly added more friction to my feet to stop faster. Jiraiya entered his imperfect form of Sage Mode and summoned a Rasengan to his hand. "Rasengan!"

I sighed as I planted my foot down and shot towards Jiraiya like a bullet, loosening the effects of friction on my body and increasing my velocity and other factors. I held out my hand at the last second as a Rasengan formed in it, "Compression Rasengan!" I roared.

Mine easily won out over Jiraiya's Rasengan, considering how powerful my condensed version of the Rasengan was. I watched as Jiraiya was sent flying away from the attack. I looked down at my hand. When Boruto used it, the recoil from using it was severe enough to hurt him. But... it didn't. Am I just that adept at it or is it my enhanced physical body that took the brunt of the attack for me? I thought. My hand shook a little, but not by much.
