Preparing His Own Spell Formula

"But wars are still happening in the world. You experienced one not long ago, senpai..." Itachi said after hearing the story of Konoha's founding.

"Yes, because war will never disappear. Long ago, before chakra existed, humans were still waging war." Shuichi believes that absolute peace does not exist. "War is just a form of competition, and competition between species is the law of survival in nature. As long as there is ambition, or the pursuit of beautiful things, these things will always exist."

Even if the First Hokage and Madara, with their Tailed Beasts, forcibly pacified the Shinobi World, war would still break out once they died, because Konoha was originally established to bring together ninjas with the same ideals.

If the world were to be unified by force, it might turn into a conflict between the first village of Konoha and Konoha second, or even the third and fourth villages... The people would be the same, only the names would change. In reality, there would be no difference between civil war and foreign war.

"After the advent of chakra, the acquisition of power became easier, leading to more intense conflicts among humans, but also bringing the possibility of change." Shuichi explained his understanding, "Nothing in this world can be achieved overnight. The transition from the Warring States period to the ninja village era was already progress. Although many problems still exist, there is no doubt that civilization is moving in the right direction."

"So there's absolutely no need to worry about these things too much. We just need to focus on improving ourselves and making the world a better place within our capabilities. Don't take personal influence too seriously; that will only make life exhausting." Shuichi felt like he had transformed into a great philosopher. "Of course, this is just my opinion. We can discuss your thoughts further later."

Seeing Itachi deep in thought, he smiled slyly, "And then there's the story of what's happened in Konoha over the years, which is... to find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next episode."

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Seeing that Itachi seemed a little reluctant to leave, Shuichi patted him on the head. "Let's go, it's almost lunchtime, I'll take you back first."

More than a month passed quickly, and everything in Konoha was operating as usual, with the entire village beginning to show signs of prosperity.

After submitting the completed mission report Shuichi walked out of the Hokage Building.

"Fortunately, the Shinobi World has been relatively peaceful lately, and there haven't been any emergencies requiring my intervention."

In the time leading up to Naruto's birth, he specifically chose a task that wasn't too difficult. Although he couldn't predict the delivery date as precisely as a professional doctor, he could still pinpoint it to within a few days.

However, he was still somewhat fearful. If the Jinchuriki were to be born prematurely and he happened to be away from the village, Konoha might face another collapse.

Back at his home, Shuichi began preparing for the possible Nine-Tails' Rampage.

Nearly a year after the Third Shinobi War, he devoted most of his energy to developing his own unique Flying Thunder God Technique, and now he has finally achieved results.

He took out the prepared talisman and placed it on the table. Shuichi immediately mobilized his chakra and began to form hand seals.

With swift movements of his hands, he slapped them upwards, and the spell inscription, printed in black characters, landed on the paper. The five large characters "Flying Thunder God Technique" were particularly prominent.

"Okay, very cool. The longer the spell, the stronger the power." Shuichi gave his opinion, then continued to carve spells on other pieces of paper, and then tied them to the handles of the Kunai.

That evening, he went to a location he had scouted beforehand outside the village and set up his trap, inserting multiple Kunai into the gaps between the branches of trees all around.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Finding a secluded spot, Shuichi summoned a large snake, smaller than Manda and less spiritually intelligent.

"Should we use the Summoning Jutsu then?" Shuichi pondered, stroking his chin. Although he could forcibly summon Manda, no one was familiar with him, and it would be a real pain if he escaped and made things even more chaotic.

Although the Summoning Beasts completely under his control were not small, they posed no threat to Nine-Tails. A few swipes of his claws would probably severely injure them and send them home, which would be a huge waste of his chakra.

After careful consideration, he decided to adapt to the situation and use the psychic abilities at the appropriate time if they could help the situation.

"Now let's test my Flying Thunder God skills."

Shuichi leaped onto the giant snake in a flash, then threw a Kunai into the distance. After the kunai landed, he immediately activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Brush!"

The giant snake and he vanished from their spot, teleporting to the ground not far away. The experiment of transferring a large Summoning Beast was a success.

However, Shuichi was not happy; instead, his expression was somewhat serious. He had used up more than three-quarters of his chakra, which was not good news.

Because he significantly increased the chakra consumption of the Minato version in order to quickly apply the Flying Thunder God in actual combat, thus reducing the difficulty, whether he can actually take down the Nine-Tails remains a mystery.

"This is a bit troublesome. In one or two years, proficiency has increased significantly, but the energy consumption has only decreased somewhat. Forcibly transferring it directly might be dangerous."

Shuichi initially practiced the Flying Thunder God primarily for offensive purposes in actual combat. He wanted to get used to it first and then gradually reduce its consumption, since he also needed time to learn various Ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai. This progress was already quite fast.

"We can only wait for an opportunity to take the risk, and we'll need a Shadow Clone to keep an eye on things. Otherwise, if we teleport there and get attacked by the Nine-Tails during a gap in our chakra reserves, that would be terrible..."

While there's no risk of death, it might force him to use his Flash. If Obito unexpectedly gets to my side, wouldn't I miss a great opportunity to kill him outright?

After setting up the Flying Thunder God Spell Formula, Shuichi entered a state of preparation. In addition to replenishing his chakra for each technique every day, he also used reconnaissance methods to monitor various corners and roads of the village.

"Hey, do you recognize this kind of bird?" A gatekeeper at the Konoha Gate was chatting with his companions out of boredom. "I seem to see them quite often lately, in rather large numbers. Perhaps it's a new species that has appeared in recent years."

Another ninja looked up at the edge of the city wall for a while, then replied, "I don't recognize it either. We'll just report it to the village for investigation. If it were Summoning Beast bred by humans, the Barrier Team would have discovered it long ago. It seems to be just an ordinary bird."

They weren't allowed to watch for long before the black bird flapped its wings and flew into the village, disappearing into a house when no one was watching.

Shuichi successfully received information about the people entering and leaving Konoha Gates recently. It wasn't just this one place; for the past few days, he had basically become a bird keeper, using Super Beast Imitation Drawing to plant spies all over the village, but he still hadn't seen Kushina Uzumaki.

"The time is definitely very close, either today or tomorrow, it can't be any later. It seems they left the village through a secret passage." He was at his wit's end; his investigation had reached its limit, and any further and they would surely be discovered.
