"That's it? So simple."
Looking at the kunai in his hand, Gojo Yoru wore a look of utter disbelief.
On the handle of the kunai was a silicone protective sleeve, etched with the pattern of a tomato.
At the center of that tomato pattern was also a Chinese character for "night."
This was Gojo Yoru's Flying Thunder God Seal.
Although he knew his Space-Time Bloodline would definitely allow him to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, Gojo Yoru never imagined that using Space-Time Chakra to train in it would be even easier than practicing the Three Body Techniques.
After only three attempts, Gojo Yoru successfully condensed the Flying Thunder God Seal and learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Others still couldn't see or perceive the existence of Space-Time Chakra.
If Gojo Yoru created a Shadow Clone, his clone would be the same.
But Gojo Yoru's main body could now clearly sense that the seal on the Flying Thunder God Kunai contained a special energy fluctuation.
If this energy fluctuation were materialized, it would undoubtedly be a pitch-black color.
This seal contained not a trace of ordinary chakra; it was formed entirely from Gojo Yoru's Space-Time Chakra.
Whoosh—
He casually tossed the Flying Thunder God Kunai, but the sound of a blade embedding into the wall never came.
Because Gojo Yoru's figure had already vanished from the bed without warning, catching the thrown kunai back in his hand.
It was a movement unlike the Body Flicker Technique—true spatial translocation.
Having achieved spatial teleportation for the first time, Gojo Yoru felt no wild elation, nor did he marvel at the power of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Instead, he sank into contemplation, savoring the sensation just experienced.
Moments ago, Gojo Yoru had merely mobilized the Space-Time Chakra within him while simultaneously triggering the seal on the Flying Thunder God Kunai. His entire body felt like it had turned into a magnet, drawn to the kunai like opposite poles, instantly snapping together.
The only difference was that Gojo Yoru flew to the kunai, not the kunai flying to him, and certainly not a mutual approach.
"The Flying Thunder God Seal acts as a spatial anchor. I just need to expend a certain amount of Space-Time Chakra to instantly transfer there through the Space-Time connection."
"As for this anchor, its essence is Space-Time Chakra that cannot be sealed away. If I want to perform spatial translocation without relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique, I must meet one condition... Space-Time Chakra completely leaves the body, merges with nature, and interferes with external space, allowing me to perceive space-time and create anchors at a distance."
"But that requires a large amount to experiment with. It's still a damn endurance problem."
Gojo Yoru pinched his brow, finally having a lead on developing teleportation, yet still feeling powerless.
But glancing at the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand, the slight frustration in his heart instantly dissipated.
Quantity could lead to quality. As long as his Space-Time Chakra capacity increased, short-range spatial translocation would come in time.
For now, the main priority was ultra-long-range teleportation—that was what could save his life.
His Phasing and Dimensional Slash were already the Strongest Shield and Strongest Spear on a higher dimension, more than enough for combat.
The Flying Thunder God Technique was mainly for catching enemies off guard, marking them so they couldn't escape, and retreating when his Space-Time Chakra ran low.
"Wait..."
Suddenly, as if recalling some crucial information, Gojo Yoru's expression shifted.
He immediately pulled out his ninja tool pouch, not bothering to slip silicone sleeves over them, and began carving the Flying Thunder God Seal onto the kunai.
As each Flying Thunder God Seal was attached to a kunai, the capacity of Gojo Yoru's genin-level Space-Time Chakra rapidly decreased.
After consuming half of his Space-Time Chakra, Gojo Yoru finally stopped, returned to the bed, sat cross-legged, and began refining chakra.
A few minutes later, Gojo Yoru opened his eyes and grinned. "It worked! My hypothesis was right!"
In just a few minutes, Gojo Yoru had recovered some Space-Time Chakra, and the amount refined far exceeded the consumption from triggering the Flying Thunder God Seal.
And today, aside from creating these Flying Thunder God Seals, Gojo Yoru had only consumed Space-Time Chakra when triggering the technique.
He used less than he recovered—what did that mean?
It meant that the Space-Time Chakra within the Flying Thunder God Seal was judged as already expended energy.
And the Flying Thunder God Seal itself was a fusion product of Fuinjutsu and Space-Time Chakra.
Sealing could break through the body's limits.
Using the Yin Seal to store Space-Time Chakra, thereby breaking the capacity limit of Space-Time Chakra, was also entirely feasible.
At the same time...
Gojo Yoru touched his forehead with one hand and placed the other over his chest, murmuring, "Today... truly three blessings at once!"
"Yoru, time to get up. The sun's almost burning your butt."
Maybe it was because he'd been wandering outside for nearly a month, or maybe it was the excitement from last night, but Gojo Yoru slept in late the next day.
Until a familiar monstrous strength shook his consciousness awake from his dreams.
Opening his eyes, in Gojo Yoru's blurry vision, he vaguely saw a wobbling tomato.
Oh no, wait—in his wobbling vision, there was a really big tomato.
When his vision cleared from blur to sharp, Gojo Yoru looked at Uzumaki Kushina, who had tied up her red long hair and wore a white apron, and couldn't help but curl his lips, spreading his arms to pull the girl tightly into his embrace.
"Tomato-Nai, long time no see!"
His voice was filled with joy, and also carried a trace of longing.
Uzumaki Kushina, whose breath had hitched and whose body had rapidly heated and stiffened, suddenly softened.
Hugging the boy back, Uzumaki Kushina's voice carried a hint of heartache as she said, "You've worked hard during this time, Night."
"Haha... worked hard my ass, I've been having the time of my life."
Gojo Yoru hopped off the bed, and relying on his absolute height advantage, lifted Uzumaki Kushina up like a little child, laughing loudly at the girl. "From now on, we never have to fear anyone again. I finally have the power to protect you, Tomato-Nai!"
Watching Gojo Yoru laugh so freely, his tone even turning a bit rough, Uzumaki Kushina, who had been about to struggle, was instantly struck in the heart by his last words.
She gazed at the boy before her, her eyes full of tenderness.
After spinning Uzumaki Kushina around a few times, Gojo Yoru set her down, then immediately fetched a kunai and pressed it into her hand, instructing, "Tomato-Nai, from now on, no matter where you go, you must carry this kunai with you. As long as you have it, no matter what danger you encounter, I will appear by your side instantly."
Hearing this, Uzumaki Kushina subconsciously examined the Flying Thunder God Kunai in her hand.
When she saw the pattern and writing on the hilt, her heart trembled slightly, and she could no longer control the mist forming in her eyes.
"Mm!"
Though she didn't know what special ability this kunai possessed, Uzumaki Kushina still nodded firmly at Gojo Yoru, breaking into a bright smile. "Smelly-Mouth Night, I'll treasure this gift for sure!"
