The Founding Emperor's Work Was Only Half Done

"Grandpa, Teacher's notes really do contain insights into practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique." After finding what he wanted, Bai Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then excitedly told Old Master.

As expected, Minato Namikaze had been generous. He would not have removed the records concerning the Flying Thunder God Technique from his notes beforehand.

After all, even his three guards could teach the Flying Thunder God. Though it was only a watered-down version, that was because those three unlucky kids could not learn the genuine article. There was no reason for him to hide it from his own disciple.

"Is that so? That's good." Hyuga Jinren smiled first, but still felt somewhat uneasy. "If you can't learn it, focus on Sealing Jutsu instead."

"I know." Bai Yue shook his head helplessly.

Of course, he knew that the Flying Thunder God was absurdly difficult to learn.

Otherwise, only the Second Hokage, its creator, and Minato Namikaze would have mastered it.

Everyone knew how powerful Space-Time Ninjutsu was, and the Scroll of Seals containing the Flying Thunder God was in the Hokage's hands.

Did Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzō Shimura not want to learn it? Did Konoha's powerful Ninja throughout history not want to learn it?

They simply could not learn it!

In the entire Naruto series, including a certain nonflammable object, only three people had barely managed to master it.

Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, and a certain Flying Thunder God variant, Boruto. Oh, right—there was also some three-person bond combo technique...

But whether it was a combo technique or a variant Flying Thunder God, neither counted as the genuine Flying Thunder God.

That showed just how difficult the Flying Thunder God was to learn.

"Grandpa, if I practice the Flying Thunder God, do I need to get permission from the Third Hokage?"

In Konoha—or rather, throughout the entire Ninja World—

If it was a Ninjutsu passed down within one's own family, then naturally, one could teach it to whoever one wished.

But if it was a village Ninjutsu, then the Hokage's approval was required. Under normal circumstances, Ninja exchanged their own achievements for Ninjutsu.

For example, aside from obtaining the Hokage's approval, the Flying Thunder God could also be obtained from Tsunade.

"Yes, Grandpa will speak to the Third Hokage." The Hyuga Clan might not have much of anything else, but its achievements were absurdly numerous.

They could afford to exchange them even for every Forbidden Jutsu in the entire Scroll of Seals.

There was simply no need to do so.

Because even if they traded for them, hardly anyone would learn them.

The Branch Family had given up trying, while the Main Family had too few members, even fewer talented ones, and not enough time or energy to study them.

The Caged Bird had made them, and the Caged Bird had ruined them.

The entire Hyuga Clan could only coast on the Byakugan bloodline inheritance.

Shaking his head, Bai Yue stopped thinking about the stagnant Hyuga Clan.

Because Bai Yue felt that he should be thankful. As a member of the Hyuga Main Family, a stagnant Hyuga Clan was better suited to his laying low and developing.

Once again, Bai Yue was glad that he had transmigrated into the Main Family.

If he had become part of the Branch Family instead, not only would life be stifling, but he would have to keep his tail tucked every day.

The Red Eye clan had it even worse. Countless scheming old bastards and lunatics had their eyes on them, and there was an imminent bomb waiting to explode. It would blow within a few years.

There was no need to even mention the smaller Ninja clans. So long as one showed a little talent, one might be targeted by the Pot Kage.

Commoners had it even worse. There was no path to heaven and no door into the earth. Obtaining even a single chance to rise was harder than ascending to heaven, and they might even have to struggle desperately just to make a living.

The Hyuga Main Family! An absolutely top-tier draw.

"Grandpa, I'm heading back."

"Go on." Hyuga Jinren felt both gratified and worried by Bai Yue's diligence.

After receiving permission, Bai Yue immediately turned around and hurried toward his room.

After all, this was the Flying Thunder God!

Who wouldn't like such a cool Ninjutsu?

And now it was right in his hands. With his cheat, he would learn it sooner or later!

Let's take a look.

First, he needed Sealing Jutsu as a foundation in order to seal spatial sensing runes onto certain objects. The most suitable material was undoubtedly special metal capable of conducting and storing Chakra.

As for other objects, they could only be used as temporary, one-time markers.

Then came sensing space...

Alright, his Flying Thunder God training came to an end here.

It seemed he still needed to find a Summoned Beast capable of mutually using the Reverse Summoning Technique.

The thought of Summoned Beasts gave Bai Yue a headache, because the Hyuga Clan had no partnered Summoned Beasts.

And there were not many powerful Summoned Beasts in the Ninja World capable of using the Reverse Summoning Technique.

Bai Yue only knew of the Three Great Sacred Places and the Enma Clan.

Perhaps Hanzo of the Salamander's Ibuse Summoned Beast also possessed that ability.

As for other Summoned Beasts, rather than calling them Summoned Beasts, it would be more accurate to call them stronger Ninja beasts that had undergone training.

Oh, right, Pain's summoned creatures were ruled out as well, since their origins were unknown.

"Fuck! The founding emperor's work was only half done, yet he died midway through! I'm completely stuck at the Summoned Beast part! This is fucking ridiculous."

Heaven Rewards Diligence was awesome, but there had to be something to work diligently on! If he just kept engraving sealing and spatial sensing runes, how long would that take?

"At present, the most likely summoning contract I can obtain is probably with the Toad Clan." Bai Yue sighed deeply. Minato Namikaze was so busy that his feet barely touched the ground, so Bai Yue felt too embarrassed to bring it up.

Besides, the Toad Clan's Summoning Scroll should be in Jiraiya's hands.

"Looks like I can only wait until Minato Namikaze gets married. Jiraiya will definitely return then."

After reluctantly glancing at the Flying Thunder God Technique training records one last time, Bai Yue continued flipping through the notes.

The Rasengan?

So-so.

Bai Yue was not particularly interested in those famous dumplings, at least not right now.

Then he flipped through more pages...

Fine, fine.

I should keep researching my Sealing Jutsu...

Time flew by. While Bai Yue immersed himself in Sealing Jutsu, time would not wait for him.

"Young Master, you have a visitor!" In the Basement, Bai Yue heard Aunt Hanako's voice.

"Who?" Bai Yue did not think he had many friends, so he was rather curious about who had come.

"A kappa." Aunt Hanako said with a smile.

"...I understand."

That was a great description. Don't describe him like that next time.

That was my Emperor Kai!

After leaving the Research Lab and casually setting up a Barrier, Bai Yue headed toward the Central Hall.

"Yo, young Bai Yue!" Before he even stepped through the doorway, Bai Yue heard Might Guy's energetic voice.

"Senior Kai, did you need something?" Bai Yue was somewhat curious why Might Guy had come to find him.

After all, this man never visited without a reason. Rather than spending time socializing, he would rather find a wooden post and kick it a thousand times.

"We're planning to give Lord Minato a wedding gift. Do you want to come?!"

"Of course!" Although Old Master would definitely prepare a gift for him, one he picked himself would obviously mean more.

Bai Yue could afford to spend a day or two.

He would treat today as a day off and relax a little.
