After waking from a good night's sleep, Naruto's sadness had eased somewhat. After all, no one could stay immersed in pain forever. Why did life slumber? Because we always had to wake from our dreams!
No matter how long he grieved, his parents would not come back to life. So now, he needed to turn his sorrow and anger into motivation and work even harder to become stronger!
Naruto lay in bed, in no hurry to get up.
With a shift of thought and a slight stir of his mind, the space around him changed, and Naruto arrived once more in Kurama's consciousness space.
When Kurama comforted Naruto yesterday, the now-free Kurama had also gained complete control over this space. It was no longer a cold, icy sewer. Instead, it resembled the space where Naruto had met Uzumaki Kushina, bringing a warm and peaceful feeling.
"Yo, Kurama, I came to see you!" Naruto said, feeling the earth-shaking changes in the space around him and finding his mood improving as he greeted Kurama.
"Naruto, you're here. How are you? Feeling better?" Kurama instantly turned into a warm and caring giant fox, concerned about Naruto's mental state.
"Thanks to you, I'm already much better. Thanks for asking!" Naruto said warmly.
"That's good. Now I can rest easy. Since you've completely undone the seal, I can lend you my power whenever you need it, and you can also try using my Chakra yourself. But although you can use my Chakra as you please, there's a limit to how much you can take each time."
"Even if I'm willing, you can't take too much Chakra at once. It'll affect your body. Once your body becomes strong enough, the amount of Chakra you can withstand will continue to increase. Eventually, we'll reach a state of complete unity and mutual trust."
"Then you'll become a perfect Jinchuriki and unlock the most perfect Tailed Beast Transformation!"
Kurama explained what powers Naruto could now obtain.
Naruto actually understood it himself. After all, he had thoroughly read the original story.
He was already far ahead of where he had been at this age in the original story, so naturally, he was in no rush to use Kurama's power. Not only was he still young and his body not fully developed, but taking on too much power could easily damage his body.
Although the bloodline in his body was extremely powerful, and Kurama's recovery abilities could restore any damage quickly, it was still ultimately harmful.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Naruto would not overburden himself by using Kurama's power.
Though he wanted to test Kurama's power, see how much he could withstand, determine how strong he could become, and find out whether he could reach the level of an ordinary Kage—
He was still in Konoha, after all. If he unleashed Kurama's power there, the village's ninja would easily discover it, causing unnecessary panic.
He was no longer alone now. He had so many friends, as well as family in the future—Hinata, of course.
So he still had to rein himself in a little.
He could only wait until he had a chance to leave the village before training and testing Kurama's power!
"I understand, Kurama. Thank you. If I need help, I'll definitely come to you! I'm leaving for today. See you next time! If you miss me, remember to call me. I'll be able to feel it!"
Naruto bid Kurama farewell and left.
Now that the seal had been completely undone, he could enter and leave Kurama's consciousness space even more freely.
Kurama could also easily convey its thoughts to Naruto. As long as Naruto opened the connection between them, there would be no secrets between them.
Of course, at certain special times, Naruto would not let Kurama see. Those who knew, knew!
Since Kurama's power could not be used for now, Naruto planned to start cultivating something else in his mind!
It was the training insights on the Flying Thunder God Technique left behind by his father, Minato Namikaze.
Previously, Naruto had also obtained the Top-tier Space-Time Ninjutsu Cultivation Talent and a custom ninja tool, Flying Thunder God: Unlimited Blade Works, by completing missions!
The Flying Thunder God Technique was one of the Space-Time Ninjutsu, so he could naturally cultivate it quickly!
After secretly slipping out of the house using a Shadow Clone, Naruto returned to his familiar training ground.
This place was relatively remote and rarely visited. With several Shadow Clones standing guard around the area, Naruto's safety was fully assured.
"Then let's see just how hard this Flying Thunder God Technique is to learn!" Naruto declared confidently.
Indeed, in the original story, only a handful of people had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, who developed the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, who took the Flying Thunder God Technique to new heights.
If they had to mention it, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze had also taught the Genma Squad the Flying Thunder Array Technique. It was a Space-Time Ninjutsu performed jointly by the Genma Squad, and like the Flying Thunder God Technique, it had the effect of instantaneous movement.
However, it required all three people to use it together. The three formed an array and could transfer objects or people within it elsewhere.
It also counted as Space-Time Ninjutsu, but its limitations were rather significant.
Thus, it was clear that not everyone had the talent to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. Those capable of mastering it needed exceptionally strong spatial perception.
The definition of Space-Time Ninjutsu was quite broad. The user could freely travel through real space, or between real space and alternate-dimensional space, either themselves or with objects.
Known Space-Time Ninjutsu included the Summoning Jutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique, Kamui, Phasing, Amenotejikara, Amenominaka, Yomotsu Hirasaka, Heavenly Transfer Technique, spatial portals, and more. Among them, Amenominaka was the highest level of Space-Time Ninjutsu. It was also the strongest Dojutsu in Naruto and belonged to the Kekkei Mōra.
That was why some people believed Obito also had the talent to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. Naruto thought that made some sense, but Obito's Kamui was already ridiculously powerful. If he had also mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, the author simply would not allow it!
Kamui could hardly hide tears! Obito!
Naruto directly used the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu and began cultivating the Flying Thunder God Technique.
With the boost from his Top-tier Space-Time Ninjutsu Cultivation Talent, along with the training cheat that was the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, his cultivation speed would be incredibly fast!
Naruto stood in the center of the training ground, surrounded by countless Shadow Clones, all earnestly cultivating the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Naruto knew that this Ninjutsu was extremely difficult for others to train in, but he possessed the top-tier talent for Space-Time Ninjutsu. He would definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort!
First, Naruto began learning how to perceive space. The key to the Flying Thunder God Technique lay in precise perception and control of space.
Naruto closed his eyes and focused on sensing the flow of air around him, sensing every tiny change in space.
He could sense every molecule in the air, their paths of movement, and the interactions between them.
As time passed, Naruto's perception of space grew sharper and sharper.
He could sense every detail in space, every fluctuation within it.
He could even sense every minute change in space. Though these changes were insignificant, they were crucial to cultivating the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Next, Naruto began learning how to manipulate space. He tried using Chakra to affect the flow of air around him and alter the structure of space.
At first, he could only make the air produce faint ripples. But as time passed, the area of space he could control grew larger, and the changes he could manipulate became more complex.
Naruto practiced constantly, tried constantly, failed constantly, and improved constantly.
He used Chakra to draw complex symbols in the air, symbols that represented the structure and changes of space.
He used Chakra to activate those symbols, causing them to take effect in space and alter it.
This process was not smooth sailing for Naruto. He encountered many difficulties as well.
Sometimes, he could not accurately sense changes in space. Sometimes, he could not precisely control space. Sometimes, his Chakra could not interact with space strongly enough.
But Naruto did not give up. Since he could not do it yet, he only had to keep practicing until he overcame those difficulties.
Throughout his training, Naruto constantly reviewed the cultivation insights for the Flying Thunder God Technique left behind by his father, Minato Namikaze.
He carefully studied every detail and seriously analyzed every step.
As he recalled them again and again, he felt as though his father, Minato Namikaze, were right there guiding him through the training!
As time passed, the Multiple Shadow Clones vanished one after another.
Naruto's training became increasingly effective. He could feel changes in space more and more clearly, and the structure of space became increasingly distinct.
The area of space he could control grew larger, and the changes he could manipulate became more complex.
He could even create simple structures in space, such as a basic cube or a simple sphere.
Of course, Naruto knew that the key to the Flying Thunder God Technique was instantaneous movement.
He began trying to use Chakra to alter the structure of space and create a spatial passage that would allow him to move instantly.
He used Chakra to draw a complicated symbol in the air, one that represented the structure and changes of a spatial passage.
He used Chakra to activate the symbol, allowing the spatial passage to take effect and alter space.
At first, Naruto could only create an extremely simple spatial passage. It was unstable and very short.
He could not use it for instantaneous movement. He could only sense that the spatial passage existed.
But as time passed, the spatial passages he created grew more complex, more stable, and longer.
He could even create a spatial passage capable of allowing instantaneous movement. Though it was far from perfect, he could already feel what instantaneous movement was like.
Over the following period, Naruto continuously practiced the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Without realizing it, he trained from dawn until nightfall. Naruto had completely forgotten the passage of time, with only a desire for progress in his mind!
He constantly tried to create more complex and stable spatial passages, constantly trying to move instantly through them.
He failed constantly, but he also improved constantly.
As the Multiple Shadow Clones were continuously expended and recreated, his Chakra gradually became insufficient.
He had not even noticed when a large amount of warm Chakra suddenly appeared within him. Kurama had taken the initiative to help.
After noticing that Naruto lacked Chakra, Kurama voluntarily provided its own Chakra. What a thoughtful, kind fox!
Using Kurama's Chakra, Naruto created new Multiple Shadow Clones to continue training.
His spatial perception became increasingly sharp, and his control over space became increasingly precise.
