The Flying Thunder God Isn't That Hard After All

"You want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Inside the Hokage's Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kakashi with some surprise, as well as Hyuga Makoto, who had been pulled over along with him.

He was dealing with other things when he turned around and these two came over, telling him something that surprised him.

"I don't object to this, but Kakashi, you should understand how difficult the Flying Thunder God Technique is, right?"

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi nodded seriously. Although he had been guided by Hyuga Makoto, those words had truly struck a chord with him.

Moreover, he made the decision after careful consideration.

"Obito possesses the ability of Space-Time Ninjutsu, which I cannot do like Makoto, judging by observing Chakra, so..."

"Are you planning to use Space-Time Ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique to deal with him?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded knowingly; after all, not everyone is Hyuga Makoto.

"I can agree to it, but I also hope you're prepared for failure; this technique is extremely difficult."

"Makoto once said that Obito's Space Ability might have come from his eyes, so maybe I'm somewhat special too."

Kakashi made a joking remark, but his gaze was incredibly serious.

"Actually, I've already mentally prepared myself. I know that the threshold for this technique is extremely high; it requires incredibly precise Chakra control..."

"And unparalleled physical coordination and reflexes."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and added.

"You also need to possess Sealing Jutsu and a large amount of Chakra."

Kakashi remained silent for a moment, though he actually possessed a considerable amount of Chakra.

However, this Sharingan was constantly consuming his Chakra, leaving him with very little of it available.

But he remained expressionless and very serious.

"I understand, I will do my best to overcome all the problems!"

Keep up the good work!

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly. He wasn't entirely sure himself, but he chose to trust the one who was right.

Although Uchiha Obito was beaten so badly by Hyuga Makoto he had to run away in terror, what if that guy had avoided Hyuga Makoto?

Having an extra backup plan is having an extra layer of protection!

"Well?"

But slowly, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly realized what was going on.

He looked at Hyuga Makoto with a strange expression.

Not only him, but even Kakashi turned his head to look over.

"What's wrong?"

Hyuga Makoto was somewhat confused, but the two of them remained even more silent.

Because they suddenly realized that Hyuga Makoto seemed to perfectly match all the characteristics required for the Flying Thunder God Technique!

His Chakra was enormous, so much so that it was almost unbelievable.

Furthermore, due to his training in Gentle Fist, his physical coordination and reaction speed are extremely exaggerated, and his control over Chakra is also incredibly precise!

As for Sealing Jutsu...

He was the one who instantly mastered the Yin Seal and even sealed the Caged Bird!

For a moment, they were all in a daze.

"Makoto, would you like to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

After a long while, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally couldn't help but ask, and Kakashi nodded in agreement.

"Give it a try! I think you might be a good fit, maybe it really will work!"

Hyuga Makoto scratched his head. Wasn't he just trying to trick Kakashi into studying so he could see if he could deal with Obito?

How come this matter has fallen on him again?

"Let's give it a try then, since there's really nothing else to do right now."

However, there seemed to be no need for him to refuse such a thing, after all, he really knew Space-Time Ninjutsu!

In some ways, wouldn't having him learn the Flying Thunder God allow him to use it more effectively?

Besides, to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, one should at least look at Tobirama Senju's notes.

"Hmph, Genji is getting more and more outrageous!"

The Land of Water, within the Kirigakure.

Uchiha Obito, who was controlling the Fourth Mizukage, looked at the document in his hand and couldn't help but snort coldly.

At this time, Kirigakure was far from peaceful; each clan had its own ideas and schemes.

Especially under his ruthless methods, a number of Bloodline families have already been wiped out, but he still feels it's far from enough!

He hadn't forgotten what happened back then; this was a debt he needed to settle, but...

"Obito, you went too far."

Black Zetsu pursed his lips and said helplessly.

"Genji Yuan is the Grand Elder of Kirigakure, so others will naturally seek his protection."

"Hmph, let them go then."

Obito's eyes held a hint of disdain as he spoke indifferently.

"That's perfect. We can just use rebellion as a pretext to eliminate them all, one by one!"

Black Zetsu curled his lip; he was well aware of Obito's thoughts.

Unfortunately, Obito misjudged the situation.

Normally, he wouldn't care what Obito did; he could simply leave.

However, during this period, he was also somewhat exhausted, both physically and mentally, and he had been seriously thinking about something.

"Actually, I think we can tone it down a bit."

"Um?"

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's words, Obito immediately frowned.

"What do you mean? Do you want me to stop?"

"No, it's not that bad. I just wanted you to try a different approach."

Black Zetsu was like a parent trying to persuade a child, patiently guiding Obito.

"Kirigakure lives or dies is unimportant, but I think they might have other value."

"Other value?"

Obito raised an eyebrow, seemingly realizing what Black Zetsu meant.

"You mean, the Nucleus Organization?"

"That's right!"

Black Zetsu nodded quickly; this organization was his real biggest worry!

Moreover, this organization is far too mysterious.

He has already sent White Zetsu to search for people and find as much trace of these guys as possible.

The Akatsuki Organization also mobilized all its members, but they still couldn't get any breakthrough intelligence.

At most, we can find out that they seem to be carrying out some tasks to make money.

As for more personnel or more information, there is absolutely none!

Under these circumstances, Black Zetsu had no choice but to consider other options.

"Although Kirigakure currently in a mess, its foundation as one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages remains, and its intelligence system is more complete!"

"Indeed, those guys from Kirigakure still have some use."

Obito stroked his chin, pondering what to do.

"Then let's make good use of their intelligence network; we can't let them get away with this!"

"Good."

Black Zetsu finally breathed a sigh of relief; he was worried that Obito would object, but now White Zetsu spoke up.

"Oh dear, I thought Obito would refuse, after all, they are..."

Before White Zetsu could finish speaking, Hei Black Zetsu immediately covered his mouth. He was now so angry he wanted to kill White Zetsu!

"Hmph, who told you I was going to let them go?"

However, Obito remained remarkably calm, and spoke softly.

"If you want to completely control their intelligence system, shouldn't you first stabilize the entire Kirigakure?"

"Hiss----"

Black Zetsu gasped, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.

"Obito, don't listen to this idiot's nonsense!"

"He's an idiot, I'm not."

Obito lacked self-awareness, he said with a detached smile.

"How can we make good use of the intelligence from Kirigakure while working with that bunch of insects like Genji?"

"What if they send us fakes? What if they suspect something?"

"Only by completely eradicating them and leaving only those loyal to the Mizukage can I feel at ease!"

Black Zetsu fell silent, looking at Obito who seemed ready to "Exterminate Insects, Shoot the Sun." He knew that nothing he said now would make a difference.

He really wanted to dig open Obito's head to see what the internal structure was like.

Did he never consider the consequences of his actions?

They won! Genji and his massive following are all finished, Kirigakure is also doomed!

Even if a significant amount remains, how will you appease people's hearts?

And you don't think that once you kill them, no one will resist, do you?

Admittedly, these people will quiet down a bit, but they will also incite greater fear and hatred.

They will then hide even deeper and cause even greater harm!

If you lose, you lose everything; forget about all the resources from Kirigakure.

"Couldn't you have chosen to compromise a little? It's not like you have to show your face; you could just have the Fourth Mizukage do it!"

What the hell did Madara choose? What kind of person did Konoha train?

"I see..

No matter how bitter it was, Black Zetsu could only swallow it down.

"I will find you 'evidence' of their rebellion."

"Actually, there's no need to search too thoroughly; it's just a formality."

Obito gently shook his head, his gaze turning to the window.

"Didn't you guys say recently that some unfamiliar guys have quietly entered Kirigakure?"

"Aren't they the ready-made evidence?"

"How did Kirigakure become like this?"

Inside the Root Base, Shimura Danzō in astonishment at the dossier in his hand.

This is intelligence relayed back by someone who infiltrated the Kirigakure.

Looking at this intelligence report, he himself fell into silence.

Although his men sneaked in, they didn't observe the Mizukage, and even survival was a problem.

But the crucial point is right here!

It's too messy...

Even Danzo himself hadn't expected Kirigakure to fall into such chaos!

The Genji faction and the Mizukage faction were evenly matched, and riots would occasionally break out in the village.

The fact that the village hasn't collapsed under these circumstances shows it truly deserves its reputation as one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages!

"Moreover, Genji was actually able to do this?"

Just thinking about Genji Danzo envious; he really envied that kind of power!

"But it's not a shadow after all..."

Taking a deep breath, Danzo forcibly pulled himself back to reality.

Then, a smile appeared on his face.

"However, I'm also pretty sure about some things!"

The fact that Kirigakure has clearly shaken the foundations of the village.

If it were a normal shadow, it obviously wouldn't have turned into this grotesque mess.

Even if he did it for the Bloody Mist Policy, it has already met with opposition from everyone, yet he is still pushing it forward, and even becoming more and more extreme.

Danzo gently tapped the table and slowly stood up.

"This behavior makes it seem like a clueless brat deliberately seeking revenge!"

He was familiar with Uchiha Obito's experiences, and even Hyuga Makoto had made some analyses of them.

Now it seems that everything really does make sense!

"That brat Hyuga Makoto, what a waste..."

Thinking of this, Danzo couldn't help but shake his head.

These days he's been hiding in the Anbu processing this intelligence, after all, in his view this is the "stepping stone" for him to return to his peak!

He wasn't really aware of what else was happening in the village, especially since his Root had been cut down to just the intelligence agents outside the village...

"Go and inform Hiruzen Sarutobi first."

The thought of this made Danzo feel as if his heart was bleeding.

He truly hated it!

Uchiha Obito cut off his hand and, together with Uchiha Itachi, caused his Root to become the grotesque thing it is now.

He'll remember this blood feud for the rest of his life...

"I never imagined that the Flying Thunder God Technique would be more difficult than I thought."

At a training base in Konoha, Kakashi was breathing heavily, looking somewhat exhausted.

Even though he already knew how difficult the Flying Thunder God was, when he actually tried it, he found that he had far underestimated its difficulty.

Even if he obtained the notes and insights left by the Fourth and Second Hokage, the situation would be similar.

"Don't rush, Kakashi."

Seeing Jiraiya, Jiraiya couldn't help but offer a word of comfort.

"Minato also faced many difficulties when learning this technique, and look at Makoto, he has a great attitude."

"Yes, there's no use in rushing."

Hyuga Makoto was flipping through documents when he heard this, and he spoke without looking up.

"Besides, neither the Lord Third nor the Pervy Sage can do it either, so don't worry."

Jiraiya rolled his eyes. How did this kind of thing get dragged into him again?

"Hey, it's not that I can't learn it, it's that I don't want to learn it! You need to make that distinction between the two!"

"Oh."

Hyuga Makoto raised his head Jiraiya expressionlessly, which made Jiraiya laugh in exasperation.

"Stop doing that! Look at yourself, Kakashi studies so hard, why are you always slacking off?"

"Don't slander me. How did you determine that I was slacking off?"

Hyuga Makoto a light snort and raised the Scroll in his hand.

Do you know the saying, "A skilled craftsman must first sharpen his tools"? You haven't even thoroughly studied the materials; how do you expect to learn?

What did you study?

Kakashi was a little curious; he had almost memorized all this information during this period.

But he still doesn't quite know how.

He got stuck on just the first step!

The condensed Curse Mark, imbued with spatial properties, serve as coordinates...

The formation of Curse Mark falls under the category of Sealing Jutsu, which Kakashi can certainly do, but isn't the concept of "spatial attribute" too abstract?

Even in the notes, there doesn't seem to be any clear record.

"Actually, Flying Thunder God Technique isn't that difficult."

However, Hyuga Makoto spoke nonchalantly, which made Kakashi and Jiraiya's eyes widen in surprise.

What are you talking about? It's not difficult?

"Yes, actually you're overcomplicating things."

Hyuga Makoto stood up, picked up a leaf, gathered Chakra, and flew towards Kakashi and Jiraiya.

"Captain Kakashi, I know what you're struggling with, but it seems like you started off on the wrong foot."

"Wrong?"

Kakashi looked at the rapidly approaching leaf with a puzzled expression, while Jiraiya was also filled with doubt.

What do you mean by that?

"It's simple, you've probably been focusing too much on spatial attributes," while ignoring the most crucial thing.

Hyuga Makoto chuckled softly, instantly activating his Byakugan and fixing his gaze on the leaf.

"I don't know what the Fourth and the Second Hokage meant, but I have my own understanding. I consider it a sealed psychic coordinate."

"Spirit coordinates?"

Kakashi and Jiraiya's eyes glazed over for a moment, and the leaf flew past them, heading towards their backs.

"That's right, a psychic coordinate that I can see, lock onto, and activate, so..."

Hyuga Makoto nodded, and in an instant his figure disappeared, and when his voice rang out again, he was already behind the two of them!

"I told you, Flying Thunder God isn't difficult at all!"

Jiraiya and Kakashi were both stunned. They quickly turned around and, sure enough, saw Hyuga Makoto standing behind them with a smile. At this moment, their minds were in a mess, and they opened their mouths slightly but didn't know what to say!

But just then, Tenzo rushed over...
