All Who Block My Path Must Die

Mastered Abilities: Flying Thunder God Technique (Level 1)

Learning the Flying Thunder God meant he could begin trying to inscribe Space Coordinates.

By activating spatial power, one could instantly travel a great distance from point A to point B. That was the essence of the Flying Thunder God.

Of course, actual application was nowhere near that simple. Otherwise, Genma Shiranui would not have made no progress whatsoever for decades.

"Hm?" Kyosuke, who had been immersed in his understanding of the technique, suddenly turned to look at a tent diagonally behind him.

"Who's there?!"

The Shisui-style Body Flicker Technique activated, and he transformed into an afterimage as he lunged toward the enemy.

Secretly monitoring the Deputy Legion Commander was already grounds for suspicion of colluding with the enemy. Even if he killed the person on the spot, no one could say a word against it.

Most importantly, Kyosuke had failed to sense the person's presence before this.

If activating spatial power had not greatly enhanced his perception, he truly would not have noticed the enemy at all.

Kyosuke's furious shout stirred the entire camp.

In less than three seconds, Izumi and Mayo rushed over and saw the corpse at his feet, already devoid of life.

"Find out who he was." Kyosuke kicked the corpse aside and returned to his tent with a grave expression.

That person had been a member of the Uchiha Clan—of that, he was absolutely certain. He had told his subordinates to investigate, but he knew full well that they would uncover nothing useful.

In the end, the intelligence department would conclude that the man had been controlled by a secret technique of the Yamanaka Clan.

To everyone else, that would probably seem like the most reasonable explanation.

Yet Kyosuke knew that things were definitely not so simple.

His strength was already vastly different from before. With the support of his dual souls, his senses far surpassed those of ordinary shinobi.

Within twenty meters, even an ant crawling past could not escape his notice.

How could an ordinary Chunin have remained hidden outside the tent for so long?

Could it have been Black Zetsu? Kyosuke lowered his gaze, doing his best to conceal the surging killing intent in his heart.

He feared that the enemy might still be watching nearby.

If it truly was Black Zetsu, it was not hard to understand.

That sly old bastard was constantly scheming against the Uchiha Clan, hoping to find Indra's reincarnation.

Kyosuke was far too famous. It would have been strange if Black Zetsu had not paid attention to him.

Unfortunately, before awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, even Black Zetsu could not identify Indra's reincarnation.

For now, Kyosuke, Madara, and Izuna were all possible candidates. Too many options only made Black Zetsu hesitant to act.

If it really is Black Zetsu, I need to prepare in advance.

But with the Flying Thunder God, I won't have to fear any fatal accidents.

With that thought, Kyosuke simply calmed his breathing and refocused on studying the technique.

For now, it was only his speculation. Besides, even if Black Zetsu really showed up and started breakdancing in the middle of the camp, Kyosuke did not actually have any way to deal with him.

To handle that fellow, one had to master Yin-Yang Release Technique.

For example, raising the Sharingan to the Mangekyo Sharingan, or awakening a high-level Sage Body. The former represented Yin Release, while the latter represented Yang Release.

Only when the two combined and Yin-Yang Release merged into one could the resulting "technique" be called a Yin-Yang Release Technique.

Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei, as well as the Armored Susanoo unleashed by Naruto and Sasuke together, could both be considered advanced products of Yin-Yang Release.

The most classic example was the Yin-Yang Release Black Rods. Obito possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan and Hashirama Cells, while Nagato possessed the Rinnegan and the Uzumaki Bloodline. That was how they could create the black rods that represented Yin-Yang Release Technique.

Even Naruto, empowered by Yang Release, had needed the black rods to pin Black Zetsu in place.

As for the Partial Expansion Jutsu and Shadow Secret Technique, they were merely applications of chakra with Yin-Yang attributes. Fundamentally, they were no different from Fire Release or Lightning Release.

Otherwise, the Senju would not have had only Hashirama awaken the Wood Release Secret Technique.

Sitting back down on the bed, Kyosuke continued his comprehension of ninjutsu.

There were two main difficulties in learning the Flying Thunder God.

The first was how to accurately grasp Space Coordinates.

Even the extraordinarily gifted Fourth Hokage had only grasped the key to shifting coordinates on the eve of his battle with Masked Obito.

That was Minato's Second Stage Flying Thunder God.

The second lay in the risks of traversing space.

Entering at point A and appearing at point B allowed the user to ignore most physical laws.

One careless mistake, and he could end up inside the ground—or simply appear within a mountain.

He was not Son Goku. He had no way to smash through a mountain and soar into the heavens.

If something truly went wrong, he would most likely burst apart and die on the spot.

Given the risks involved, choosing the coordinate points became crucial.

Fortunately, he was not figuring it out on his own. With the system imparting knowledge to him, it was equivalent to possessing extensive theoretical experience.

All that remained was practice.

The night quickly passed, and Kyosuke, who had not slept at all, finally completed his first teleportation.

Turning around to look at the coordinate point more than ten meters away, he thought for a moment and decided to first have a batch of specially made kunai forged.

Compared to temporarily inscribing coordinates, throwing kunai was much simpler and easier. At critical moments, they might even produce miraculous results.

Kyosuke found the camp's quartermaster, explained his requirements, and sketched the kunai's appearance based on the design in his memories.

When the quartermaster saw his request, he asked curiously, "My lord, these kunai don't seem very convenient for combat."

He was right. The specially made kunai were relatively broad and likely heavier than ordinary kunai.

In close-quarters combat, they would indeed affect one's agility.

"Just make them." Kyosuke had no intention of explaining. He could hardly tell him that they were not meant for combat at all.

They were broad because coordinates had to be inscribed onto them. Their weight would affect their flight distance and stability, making them less likely to veer off course.

Using his status as Legion Commander, he issued a strict order to the logistics department: a batch of kunai had to be completed within three days.

Any later, and the enemy might flee with their entire clan.

Then how would he set up Uchiha Hikoichi?

To achieve his goal of eliminating dissidents, Kyosuke planned to make a deal with Nara Higashihiko.

He would choose the other side's camp as the meeting place. With the Flying Thunder God in hand, he did not fear any accidents.

By now, the Three Clans' defeat was certain. Meaningless resistance would only drag every last clansman down with them.

As their leader, Nara Higashihiko was bound to become a sacrifice for his clansmen's resentment. As long as he had even the slightest desire to protect himself, he would agree to Kyosuke's proposal.

With both sides working from within and without, a few simple tricks would be enough to ensure that Uchiha Hikoichi stepped right into the trap.

With his eyes blinded by the prospect of merit, how could he possibly see the danger lurking behind him?

"Don't blame me. Blame yourself for choosing the wrong side." Kyosuke left with a smile.

While he waited, he not only trained in the Flying Thunder God, but also took responsibility for instructing the newcomers.

He taught them ninjutsu while simultaneously indoctrinating them.

Amid the constant bustle, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
