Chapter Thirty

Today, Naruto was going to teach Menma the Rasengan. "Okay, Menma. This technique is one of your dad's favorites. And his signature move. Here."

Naruto tossed him a water balloon. Menma juggled it before catching it. "It's called the Rasengan."

Menma looked at the balloon. "You threw a water balloon at them?" "No. It's for training to learn the Rasengan."

Naruto formed the Rasengan. "This is the Rasengan." He jammed it into a tree, sending bark everywhere and destroying the tree.

Menma covered his head. "Woah." "Okay, channel your chakra." Menma channeled his chakra into the balloon.

Menma sat there for five minutes trying to show even a little progress. "Gah!" Menma was starting to get frustrated.

"This stupid water balloon! Owe!" Menma collapsed on his knees. "Menma? What's wrong?"

"My eyes burn. Like really bad." "Let me see." Naruto got on one of his knees and lifted his head up.

"Oh no." Menma awakened his Sharingan. "Well hold off on this. Let's go see your mom."

Menma held his eyes. Naruto picked him up and carried him inside of the house. "Sasuke! Hurry!" She came running out of the room. "What's wrong?" "Menma awakened his Sharingan."

"What!? How?!" "I think he unlocked it out of frustration." "How?" "I was teaching him the Rasengan. He was struggling and straining."

"Let me see." Menma looked up at her. "Are you okay?" "No. It burns really bad." Menma kept rubbing his eyes.

"Try not to touch it. It's gonna burn for a while." "But it hurts." "I know, sweetie." She hugged him.

"I can't help but feel like this is my fault so I'm just gonna go." Naruto walked outside.

"Okay, just try to ignore it." "I'll try." Menma walked off. Sasuke sighed. "What am I gonna do?"

Naruto was sitting in his office. "It sounds like you just pushed him too hard." "All I told him was to channel his chakra into the balloon."

"Well, you didn't get frustrated as much as he did." "Trust me. I got so frustrated, I almost gave up on the technique." Naruto kept typing on his computer while Shikamaru was debating with him.

The door opened. "Lord Seventh." "Please, just call me Naruto, Konohamaru."

"Naruto. I highly suggest my team for the Chunin Exams." "Well we're gonna have to hold off on the Chunin Exams. Menma just awakened his Sharingan and is going through trouble right now."

"What kinds of trouble?" "Severe eye burns." "Hm. Okay. But again-" "I know Konohamaru. I'll put them in the Chunin Exams."

"Naruto. I need to talk to you." "Ooh. You're in trouble." "It's not even that serious. So calm down."

Naruto stood up from his desk and followed Sasuke out. "Something wrong?" "Yeah. Well, not really. Instead of teaching him the Rasengan, why don't you let me teach him the Chidori?"

"Why can't we teach him both?" "Well, it would be good for him to have more Jutsu in his arsenal."

"Hey. If he's skilled enough, like his father, maybe he can combine the two. Like a new Jutsu. Lightning Style: Rasengan."

"It could work. But if Kakashi couldn't do it, what makes you think Menma will?" "Menma has Fire release, wind release, lightning release and all of our chakra releases since he's of our descent."

"I never thought that was obvious to you." "Then why'd you ask?!"
