Screw the Flying Thunder God, Orochimaru with High Emotional Intelligence

The formula of the Flying Thunder God Technique is actually very simple.

It's like the hand seals of a jutsu—also very simple in theory, but if you can't smoothly channel your chakra while forming them, no amount of hand speed will make a difference.

Just like before the transmigration, Uchiha Dan knew the hand seals for multiple jutsu and could show off like crazy, but what use was that?

So the gap between learning the Flying Thunder God Formula and being able to use the Flying Thunder God Technique is more than a hundred thousand miles.

First, to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, you need an extremely keen spatial perception ability, only then can you sense the existence of spatial passages.

Second, at one spatial node, you must be able to perceive the existence of another node through the passage, and you also have to cross the spatial passage to control the Flying Thunder God Formula on that other node.

Third, after achieving the above two points, you can activate the Flying Thunder God Formula, allowing yourself to instantly traverse space and achieve a teleportation effect. But in this process, if even a single mistake occurs, at best you lose an arm or a leg, at worst you're shattered to pieces.

So the first prerequisite for learning the Flying Thunder God Technique is that you must be a Sensory Ninja with extremely high sensory talent, so that through training you can successfully perceive space.

Tobirama Senju and Namikaze Minato both fit this category.

Otherwise, if you train for years and can't even perceive space, what's the point of learning the Flying Thunder God?

"Go to hell, Flying Thunder God" was once a popular saying.

Because there were actually quite a few people interested in learning the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Before many geniuses died practicing it, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju didn't impose many restrictions on Konoha ninjas learning the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But after studying for a while, almost everyone cursed it privately, because they simply couldn't get started.

Just the first requirement—being one in a thousand among Sensory Ninjas—is already pushing it, and it's indeed a bit unfair.

Sensory Ninjas are already rare, and you have to pick one in a thousand from among them.

Across the entire ninja world, the number of ninjas meeting this single requirement wouldn't exceed ten, which is no exaggeration to say is one in ten thousand across the whole world.

But that's not enough. Besides having extremely strong perception, to learn the Flying Thunder God, you also need exceptionally precise chakra control.

This is a hard requirement for talent and ability.

Whether you can perform a jutsu comes down to your control over chakra.

The same goes for learning the Flying Thunder God Technique; otherwise, you can't cross space to activate the Flying Thunder God Formula at another spatial node.

The finer and more adept a person's chakra control, the greater the power of the same jutsu they perform, and the less chakra they consume.

Looking across the entire history of the ninja world, anyone who can precisely control chakra is inevitably among the top in talent and ability.

You think that's enough?

Heh, far from it!

Even if you meet the above two conditions, there's another hard requirement: unparalleled reaction speed.

It's a screening standard!

If you put ten thousand ninjas together, the one with the fastest reaction speed among them would most likely meet the requirements for learning the Flying Thunder God.

Because risks are everywhere during spatial teleportation; if your reaction speed isn't fast enough, you won't even know how you died.

Perception ability one in ten thousand, talent and ability one in a thousand, reaction speed one in ten thousand—how many people in the world can meet these standards?

Someone might ask, isn't this just making things impossible on purpose?

Well, yes, it is.

Otherwise, in the decades of the entire ninja world, how could only two people have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique?

Keep in mind, the Flying Thunder God of Konoha has been seen by many people, and it's even been leaked.

After all, Tobirama Senju's skill made too many people envious.

Plus, later Namikaze Minato's Yellow Flash amazed the ninja world.

Many villages tried every way to get their hands on it.

In the end, Kumogakure studied it for decades, and not a single person learned it; they only came up with a watered-down version, the Heavenly Transfer Technique.

And even that counts as the only gain among all the ninja villages—the others couldn't figure out anything at all.

Of course, besides the evil Tobirama Senju and the adorable Namikaze Minato, there was one more person who met the standards, even exceeded them.

That was Uchiha Dan.

Over seven years, Uchiha Dan had thoroughly understood the principles of the Flying Thunder God, even figured out the Flying Thunder God Formula; all that was left was practice.

But he had been doing simulated training of the Flying Thunder God in his mind.

So when he finally had the chance to start real practice, his progress was astonishing—a month to get started, two months to reach the second stage, three months to the third stage.

The evil Tobirama Senju's talent was no joke, and seven years of research wasn't just talk.

That's also why Uchiha Dan was so excited after contracting with Shikkotsu Forest.

Not only could he begin his training, but he could also personally experience spatial fluctuations and teleportation.

Three years ago, after figuring out all the principles of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Uchiha Dan had already theorized:

Could he directly open another spatial node without using the Flying Thunder God Formula as a medium?

Over the years, Uchiha Dan had many ideas about this. After mastering the second stage of the Flying Thunder God, he attempted it, and to his surprise, he succeeded.

Unfortunately, forcibly opening a second spatial node was extremely difficult, only possible at a very close distance.

Currently, Uchiha Dan's teleportation limit was a hundred meters; anything beyond that was impossible.

In practice, its actual function was merely a faster, untraceable, longer-range version of the Body Flicker Technique.

In Uchiha Dan's view, it was somewhat flashy and impractical, only good for bluffing.

Of course, that was just Uchiha Dan's own opinion.

If anyone else heard it, they'd be tempted to grab him by the neck and roar: "The hell did you just say?"

In reality, even if the teleportation distance was at most a hundred meters, it was far more practical in battle.

Because the traditional Flying Thunder God required a technique formula for directional transport.

Uchiha Dan's original new Flying Thunder God, however, could freely teleport to any location within a certain range.

Once used in combat, its power was simply unimaginable.

"Uchiha Dan, do you know what you're doing?" The ninja who arrived surrounded Dan, demanding angrily, clearly on the verge of attacking.

"Everyone!" Orochimaru walked over at that moment, explaining, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have provoked Lord Dan. He only struck out because he couldn't take it anymore."

"Besides, I'm not seriously injured. I'll pay to make up for the village's losses, so please let this go."

The ninja who had spoken earlier was instantly at a loss for words.

What more could he say?

The victim himself had stepped in to plead for leniency, admitting it was his own fault and offering to cover the damages. It was unreasonable for them to keep pressing the issue.

Moreover, the one pleading was Orochimaru, the Third Hokage's most beloved disciple.

"Ahem..." The lead ninja cleared his throat and said, "Lord Orochimaru, are you really alright?"

"What could happen to me?" With that, Orochimaru turned to Uchiha Dan and said sincerely, "Lord Dan, I was wrong earlier. I apologize to you."

"But there are quite a few onlookers among the civilians right now. If someone gets hurt, that wouldn't be good. How about we settle this privately? I'll give you a satisfactory explanation."
