Chapter 124 Flying Thunder God Technique
Chapter 124 Flying Thunder God Technique
Hyuga Kanan immediately focused his divine sense on the flickering figure of the other party. He wanted to carefully observe the principle behind the technique that allowed the other party to use the power of spatial rules.
Despite his strength being far from sufficient to comprehend spatial rules, he was able to wield such high-level power of rules, completely capturing Hyuga Kanan's attention. He had acquired the Flying Thunder God Technique from Konoha through a trade, and had studied it in detail in private, only to find that even after learning and comprehending it exactly as described, he still hadn't made any contact with the power of spatial rules.
He now wanted to observe closely how the other party managed to utilize the power of spatial rules when using this ninjutsu.
Soon, when Hyuga Kanan focused all his spiritual power on the opponent's figure, he sensed that every time the opponent used spatial teleportation, the runes formed on the kunai that the opponent threw out were subtly in harmony with the spatial fluctuations. As long as he connected his spiritual power to these kunai, he could immediately form a simple spatial channel, allowing the opponent's body to pass through these spatial channels smoothly and achieve instantaneous movement.
It's essentially like a summoning spell, except that spatial coordinates are placed on kunai, and then mental energy is used to connect to the runes on those kunai. However, this method of movement and the speed at which the passage is formed are extremely fast. After all, the spatial passage formed is not as vast as a summoning spell; it's merely a fast passage for a single person to pass through.
This space-time ninjutsu would be incredibly helpful to him. Once he figured out how these runes stabilized and broke the spatial constraints, he could officially begin to explore the power of spatial rules. However, Hyuga Kanan knew that studying and analyzing these runes wouldn't be easy. But he had finally found an opportunity to access higher-level rules ahead of time, allowing him to comprehend spatial rules more quickly.
A uniquely shaped kunai suddenly appeared in front of the last few Konoha ninja, followed by a figure appearing before them, effectively halting the final wave of Iwa ninja attacks and allowing the remaining Konoha ninja to survive.
A young man with a full head of golden hair appeared in the center of the standoff, a warm and sunny smile on his face, like a little sun, leaving a strong impression on the few remaining Konoha ninja. For a group of at least 50 people, most of whom were from Iwagakure, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Iwa ninja paused only briefly, and after seeing that only one Konoha ninja had come to support them, he put on a victorious smile again and charged towards the few remaining Konoha ninja.
Seeing the largest number of Iwa ninja charging towards them, the slightly younger Konoha ninja wore expressions of despair. Konoha had only sent one reinforcement, which was probably not very useful against so many Iwa ninja.
An older Konoha ninja finally smiled when he saw the newcomers. He knew that his life had been saved again, even though the number of Iwa ninjas seemed very large and their aura was very strong.
He had no idea who this blond-haired man was. This man was the legendary genius ninja of Konoha. He had witnessed the man's power before, a scene that he still couldn't forget. And today he could witness it again.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of his young ninja companions, he pretended to be mysterious and said to them, "You're in for a treat today. You're about to witness a scene you'll never forget."
The ninja who came to provide support was none other than Minato Namikaze, currently Konoha's strongest and most talented ninja. His speed was the fastest, allowing him to quickly reinforce the battlefield and prevent the Iwa ninja from breaking through the defenses and entering the Land of Fire.
Minato Namikaze approached the remaining members of the group, took out dozens of special kunai from his ninja tool bag, and handed them over. With a warm, sunny smile, he said to them, "Just throw these kunai at the Iwa ninja on the other side. Leave the rest to me."
"What? Just these few kunai and you alone? The enemy has over 50 elite Iwa ninja, the weakest of whom are at least Chunin level. How can you rely on just one person? Even if you want to cover our retreat, you can't possibly hold off so many Iwa ninja in pursuit. Let us stay and help you! Even if we're not of much use, at least we can slow down their attack."
The young Konoha ninja hurriedly refused. He wasn't the kind of person who would easily abandon the rescue of his comrades, even if only one person had arrived to help and hadn't resolved the current crisis. But to watch helplessly as the other person sacrificed themselves to save them would leave them with a lifetime of guilt.
"Leave it to me! If you guys get involved, it will disrupt my offensive rhythm."
With a confident expression, Minato Namikaze spoke firmly. He didn't want to be distracted by rescuing these few remaining ninjas while attacking; letting them stay in the rear was where teamwork would truly shine. Besides, he needed to eliminate this group of Iwa ninja as quickly as possible and then go to support other battlefields.
The older Konoha ninja spoke directly to the people around him, saying, "Just follow Lord Minato Namikaze's orders and watch carefully. Don't blink, or you'll miss the exciting moment."
After saying that, he threw all the special kunai that Minato Namikaze had given him toward the Iwa ninja, without even checking whether they hit them. Seeing that their temporary captain had said that, the others followed suit and threw all their special kunai as well, and waited quietly. They were also very curious about what their captain had repeatedly told them not to blink and to carefully observe the Iwa ninja charging toward them.
Hyuga Kanan, watching from afar, also looked at Namikaze Minato with great curiosity. He wanted to see how much Minato had mastered this space-time ninjutsu and whether he had truly grasped the mysteries of spatial rules. Judging from Minato's constant teleportation to the battlefield, his compatibility with space was extremely high, and his proficiency in this ninjutsu was also considerable. However, so far, Hyuga Kanan had not sensed any fluctuations in spatial rules from him, proving that Minato had not truly come into contact with spatial rules. He was still using space-time ninjutsu like driving a vehicle, only modifying it to make it easier to control and faster, but he still hadn't grasped the essence of creating a vehicle.
However, as long as Minato Namikaze continues to modify it, he will eventually fully understand the entire foundation of this ninjutsu. He will then be able to use this foundation as a springboard to truly access the power of spatial rules. At that time, he will be able to achieve instantaneous spatial teleportation without needing kunai as a medium.
Hyuga Kanan truly envied Namikaze Minato's talent. Minato was born with an exceptional sensitivity and affinity for the power of spatial rules, allowing him to comprehend them more easily than Kanan himself. If Minato were to inherit the legacy of a higher world, he would have a far greater chance and faster chance to transcend this world than Kanan himself.
Hyuga Kanan is currently in the initial stage, much like taking a driving test. He's essentially completed the first stage (the written test) and is now preparing for the second. However, Namikaze Minato is already a seasoned driver with several years of experience.
However, Hyuga Kanan is better off than Namikaze Minato in that he has already started working at a car manufacturing plant. Although he is still a very basic, low-level worker, he at least knows how to manufacture small parts of a car and will eventually master the manufacturing of the entire car.
Hyuga Kanan can now learn from Minato Namikaze's driving experience so he can master the Flying Thunder God Technique sooner. Even just using the vehicle created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, would be a great experience. It would also make traveling easier in the future.
Countless chaotic kunai hurtled towards the Iwa ninja. Seeing this, the Iwa ninja wore expressions of utter disdain. The Konoha ninja opposite them were now completely panicked; even the most basic kunai throws posed no threat to them. The Iwa ninja easily dodged the oncoming kunai, making Konoha's attack a laughingstock in their eyes.
Minato Namikaze smiled slightly upon seeing the special kunai surrounding the Iwa ninja team. He then produced another specially made kunai, gripped it tightly in his palm, and vanished without a trace.
A flash of yellow light appeared in the Iwa ninja group, and at the same time, the Iwa ninja in the flash was already clutching his neck with both hands, crimson blood gushing from his fingers. Clearly, in that split second, this Iwa ninja's throat had been slit.
But Minato Namikaze didn't stop his reaping. The few Konoha ninjas who remained in place were completely stunned. Even with their eyes fixed on the opposite side, they could only see a yellow flash constantly weaving through the Iwa ninja ranks. Wherever the yellow flash passed, the Iwa ninjas instantly became corpses. In the blink of an eye, more than 50 Iwa ninjas who had pursued them were already dead, lying in their path of attack.
This efficiency in killing left all the Konoha ninjas present completely stunned, their mouths agape, unable to utter a sound. It was the first time they had ever seen a ninja move with such speed; the Iwa ninja hadn't even had time to react before losing their lives.
The Flying Thunder God Technique, developed by the Second Hokage, reappeared in the ninja world, marking the beginning of a nightmare for other ninja villages. This ninjutsu is virtually unbeatable even for those who haven't reached their peak; it's a battlefield reaper and extremely deadly to low-ranking ninjas.
