"These things were looted from the corpses of those Mist ninja. Obito Uchiha a very unstable emotional state at the time, and he wasn't interested in these things, so they ended up being a bargain for me."

The largest portion of Yichen's spoils came from the Mist ninja.

Upon seeing these items, Ōnoki and the others simply nodded, not paying much attention. Ikura, however, carefully examined the Ninjutsu Scroll, selecting Ninjutsu that the village didn't possess. He also marked some Water Release Ninjutsu from the Mist ninja that were stronger than those from the Iwa ninja.

Then Yichen took out the items he had obtained from Madara Uchiha's basement, including the Uchiha Gunbai, the Ninja Blade, Madara Uchiha's notebook, and part of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's body.

Ōnoki didn't look at anything else; he immediately picked up the Uchiha Gunbai, took a deep breath, and said, "There's no mistake, this is it. This thing has the ability to reflect Ninjutsu. This is the weapon that Madara Uchiha used in battle back then."

Upon hearing this, Ikura put down the scroll in his hand and turned his gaze to the Uchiha Gunbai. He asked, "Can we use this?"

Ōnoki shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either, but we can give it a try. It's said that Madara Uchiha once used it to deflect S-rank Ninjutsu."

Then Ōnoki took Madara Uchiha's scroll and started looking at it.

Yichen continued taking things out, "These are things I got from Kakashi Hatake."

"Oh, right, and this too," Yichen said, taking out another Sealing Scroll. "This seal contains a living being, a magical living being."

"It's entirely white and looks like a human. I've seen many of these creatures in that basement. After they're killed, they turn into a tree. They move incredibly fast underground. How can I describe it? They're faster than the Fourth Raikage unleashing his Lightning Release Body Technique."

"Most importantly, these things have extremely strong stealth abilities, able to hide in large trees. Without a powerful Perception Talent, even if it's hiding right next to us, we wouldn't be able to detect it."

"If their master is Madara Uchiha, then Madara Uchiha must have been gathering intelligence about the Ninja World through these white creatures all these years."

"However, this thing isn't very strong; it's at most Chunin. We'll build some places completely isolated from the soil and release it out to study it carefully. I suspect this thing is related to the First Hokage's Wood Release."

The group nodded, refraining from touching the scroll, and instead continued examining Yichen's spoils of war.

After a while, Saka suddenly exclaimed, "Look, what is this?"

Everyone, including Yichen, focused their attention on the scroll in Ban's hand. Yichen, however, was unable to see it because he was half-lying on the hospital bed and could only watch anxiously. The others, on the other hand, crowded around to take a look.

A moment later, Ming exclaimed, "Flying Thunder God?! Is this the training method for the Flying Thunder God?"

Yichen nearly jumped up upon hearing this. Flying Thunder God? Where did this Flying Thunder God come from? Did he get it from Kakashi?

However, before Yichen could ask any questions, Saka said, "It's not the complete Flying Thunder God; it's probably a method used to check one's talent for learning the Flying Thunder God."

Ōnoki chimed in, "It's still a treasure. Although it's not the complete Flying Thunder God Technique training method, it's sufficient for learning Space-Time Ninjutsu and getting started."

Ikura said, "Yichen just said that he got this from Kakashi, a disciple of Minato Namikaze. That makes sense; Minato Namikaze probably wanted to test whether his disciple had the talent to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Moreover, this thing contains a lot of knowledge about Sealing Jutsu, and judging from its structure, it seems to be a seal of the Uzumaki Clan," Ikura said somewhat uncertainly.

Ōnoki's Sealing Jutsu were far superior to Ikura's. He nodded in affirmation, "That's right, Minato Namikaze is indeed a genius. He's using Sealing Jutsu techniques to explain the Flying Thunder God Technique. However, it involves not only knowledge of Sealing Jutsu but also knowledge of Summoning Jutsu."

Saka said, "It's a pity that Yichen is still researching the seven Ninja Blade he got from the Mist ninja last time, and our Summoning Jutsu research hasn't yielded any results yet, otherwise we could try practicing them."

Ōnoki shook his head and said, "It's impossible to learn. This thing doesn't actually involve much Space-Time Ninjutsu, and it's far from the real Flying Thunder God Technique. It would be great if we had a real object to compare it with. I heard that Minato Namikaze used a Kunai with a technique symbol engraved on it when he used the Flying Thunder God. It would be great if we could study that thing."

Upon hearing this, Yichen said, "Kakashi has a Flying Thunder God Kunai belonging to Minato Namikaze. I was afraid that Minato Namikaze might suddenly arrive, so I sealed the Kunai and hid it. But we dare not come out to study it. What if Minato Namikaze senses it and attacks with a Flying Thunder God?"

Ōnoki nodded and said, "That's true. It's a pity we don't have the Flying Thunder God Mark of Konoha Senju, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama of Konoha, otherwise we could use that to conduct research."

Ming said, "The Second Hokage died at the hands of the Cloud ninja. Perhaps the Cloud ninja have his Flying Thunder God Mark. Could we trade it with Cloud ninja?"

Ōnoki thought for a moment and said, "There is hope. If Ninja World hadn't appeared in the Minato Namikaze world, we definitely wouldn't have been able to make the deal. Once we bring it up, the Cloud ninja will definitely guess that we want to research the Flying Thunder God. But with the appearance of the Yellow Flash, and us collecting Senju Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Mark, the Cloud ninja will only think that we are looking for a way to counter the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Even if they're hoping to weaken both us and Konoha, they'll still give it to us. But they'll definitely ask for an exorbitant amount, making us bleed a lot."

Ming nodded, beginning to calculate the appropriate price to pay in exchange for the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Cloud ninja.

After a while, Ōnoki and the others had finished reading the entire scroll, and then it was Yichen's turn to wait anxiously on the bed.

Yichen took the scroll handed to him by Ikura and immediately began to read it.

Flying Thunder God Technique— the Ninjutsu that almost every Hokage in their past life most eagerly anticipated.

After reading only a few lines, Yichen was certain of one thing: this was indeed not a training scroll for the Flying Thunder God Technique. However, the introduction to Space-Time Ninjutsu within was of great value to Iwagakure. Learning everything in it wouldn't allow him to Flying Thunder God, but learning from Cloud ninja and developing a Ninjutsu for teleporting items wasn't out of the question.

After carefully reading through it, Yichen discovered that Minato Namikaze's descriptions of Sealing Jutsu had their own unique aspects, which broadened Yichen's knowledge considerably.

"This is good stuff. I'll make a copy for Kawazoe Yura later. The little girl has really done a good job this time. I'll apply for an S-rank mission reward for her later."

Aside from the Sealing Jutsu, Yichen couldn't understand the rest. He hadn't participated in the village's research on Summoning Jutsu, so he couldn't understand that part either. As for the final section on pure Space-Time Ninjutsu, Yichen Yichen was completely baffled and had no idea what it was talking about.

After closing the scroll, Yichen said, "I basically don't understand this thing. Lord Tsuchikage, did you understand it?"

Ōnoki shook his head and said, "I don't have the talent for Space-Time Ninjutsu either, and I can't understand it either."

Ikura and the others shook their heads, indicating they didn't understand.

Yichen thought for a moment and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, why don't we show this to the students at the Ninja Academy? We can give them a few questions and see if any of them have any talent for Space-Time Ninjutsu."

Ōnoki nodded and said, "This time, not only will students from the Ninja Academy take the relevant tests, but those who have already become ninjas will also be tested. We know too little about Space-Time Ninjutsu. No matter who it is, regardless of age or talent, as long as they have talent in this area, we must focus on cultivating it."

"Yes." Everyone, including Yichen, nodded.

Saka said, "Lord Tsuchikage, it seems we need to intensify our research into Summoning Jutsu."

Previously, Iwagakure did not invest too many resources in the research of Summoning Jutsu. After all, the village's main purpose in researching Summoning Jutsu was only for the Byakugan, and at present, there was no risk of losing the Byakugan, so not many resources were invested.

But the situation is different now. Space-Time Ninjutsu is not only a blank area for Iwagakure, but more importantly, Konoha has produced a Yellow Flash. Even in order to find a way to counter the Flying Thunder God Technique, the village has to spend a lot of money to research it.

Ōnoki nodded in agreement, then instructed Myoto to allocate some resources to the Summoning Jutsu research group.

At this moment, Yichen said, "Lord Tsuchikage, the Barrier Team was of great help this time, especially my disciple, Kawazoe Yura, who came up with the idea of having me track Obito Uchiha. I'd like to apply for an S-rank mission for her."

Ōnoki thought for a moment and then agreed, saying, "Okay, give Kawazoe Yura an S-rank mission, and give all Chunin Jonin the Barrier Team a B-rank Mission reward."

Ōnoki is very generous now. Putting aside everything else, the resources that Yichen just got from Mist ninja are almost enough to cover these expenses. As for Space-Time Ninjutsu, Madara Uchiha's Ninjutsu experience, a pair of Sharingan that may or may not be Mangekyo Sharingan, a White Zetsu clone that may or may not be able to research anything, and a section of the Ten-Tails' body, the value of these things is immeasurable.

"Alright, now focus on recovering from your injury and don't think about going out." Ōnoki specifically reminded Yichen not to cause any more trouble. Although Yichen often brought surprises, he also caused quite a few frights, and Ōnoki was afraid that Yichen one day drive him to his death.

Yichen did not agree this time. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Lord Tsuchikage, I want to continue practicing Senjutsu. I estimate that Senjutsu can increase the recovery speed."

Ōnoki was taken aback. Senjutsu had this effect? But after a moment's thought, he realized it was true. Entering Sage Mode would enhance physical strength and bring about a qualitative change in terms of power. It was normal for him to recover quickly.

"Alright then, but you must be accompanied by Anbu when you practice the World Immortal Senjutsu. You can't act recklessly on your own. Also, you can't leave the village until your injuries are fully healed." Ōnoki didn't object, but just gave a few instructions.

Yichen nodded readily.

Once Ōnoki and the others left, Yichen instructed the ANBU guards who were watching over him to go and practice their Anbu Senjutsu.
