What Do You Mean You Want to Learn the Flying Thunder God Technique On-Site?

Cold sweat broke out on Orochimaru's forehead.

It was not because of Hiruzen Sarutobi or Ōnoki, but because of Jingxin.

Susanoo could absolutely shatter the Four Violet Flames Formation, yet Jingxin had chosen not to do so.

At this point, Orochimaru no longer dared to make a move against Ōnoki.

This was because Orochimaru knew deep down that he absolutely did not want to face a technique of that magnitude.

If he accidentally threw out the old man's back, that brat outside would surely peel the skin right off his snake body.

Jingxin watched this scene from outside the barrier, his worries regarding Ōnoki's safety easing slightly.

However...

Jingxin's gaze fell once again upon Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The Flying Thunder God was truly cool!

Furthermore, it was incredibly practical and consumed very little chakra.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could be considered one of those at the pinnacle of ninjas without bloodline limits.

Although he was aged and frail, and although Orochimaru was not proficient in the Flying Thunder God technique—preventing him from unleashing the true power seen from Minato or Tobirama—Hiruzen Sarutobi was still struggling immensely against it.

He wanted it...

How could he get his hands on it?

Jingxin pondered this question.

Ah!

He had a great idea o.O!

Orochimaru was familiar with the Four Violet Flames Formation and should be able to judge that he could break through it.

In that case...

It would depend on how perceptive Orochimaru was.

The battle inside the barrier escalated to a white-hot intensity.

With Orochimaru not daring to strike at Ōnoki, Ōnoki became even more unscrupulous in assisting Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Even so, the pressure on Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to mount, and he looked on the verge of defeat.

Jingxin moved, his figure rapidly approaching the barrier while he simultaneously formed hand seals to release ninjutsu.

Successive waves of seemingly powerful Fire, Earth, and Wind Style techniques struck the barrier, producing deafening roars.

Orochimaru was startled, looking toward Jingxin.

"Orochimaru, it is time to end this farce." Jingxin's voice was extremely calm.

What?

A doubt arose in Orochimaru's mind.

If you want to terminate the battle, why not use that terrifying ninjutsu to break the Four Violet Flames Formation?

No...

This brat definitely had other motives.

What could they be?

Orochimaru's mind raced, considering all sorts of possibilities.

However, while analyzing, Orochimaru subconsciously treated Jingxin as a twelve-year-old child.

He couldn't be blamed for this; after all, no one knew that Jingxin's true soul was over thirty years old.

So, what did a twelve-year-old child crave most?

Or rather, what was he trying to gain by doing this?

Fame, of course!

Jingxin was so strong, yet he had never attracted much attention in the ninja world.

Although Jingxin appeared very rational and mature, a child of that age would inevitably have some psychological needs.

Orochimaru followed his own line of reasoning.

Since he wanted fame, then he would give him fame.

Orochimaru cast his gaze toward the battlefield inside the barrier, selecting a suitable candidate.

Hashirama was undoubtedly the best choice.

But a twelve-year-old child defeating Hashirama, even if it was an Impure World Reincarnation vessel, was something basically no one would believe.

Rasa?

Forget it; the leader of a backwater village was indeed intimidating, but he was far inferior to the other two.

Tobirama was from a distant era, and his fame was slightly less widespread than that of Minato Namikaze.

Then it shall be you.

Whoosh~

Minato's Impure World Reincarnation suddenly abandoned the battlefield, hurling a Flying Thunder God kunai toward the sky above the barrier.

As the Flying Thunder God kunai was about to touch the barrier, a small opening appeared, allowing it to pass through smoothly.

The next second, Minato's figure appeared outside the barrier.

"Oh no! The Fourth Hokage has come out!"

"What do we do?!"

The moment Minato left, panic instantly spread through the crowd.

The reputation of the Yellow Flash was known to all, and now, they were the enemies of the Yellow Flash.

Everyone immediately felt endangered, terrified of being attacked by Minato at any moment.

Orochimaru feigned anger, glaring at Jingxin: "Since that is the case, I will deal with you first."

Jingxin ceased his ninjutsu attacks on the barrier, pulled back, and widened the distance between himself and Minato.

The Flying Thunder God kunai flew toward him, and Jingxin raised his hand to draw his ninja blade, preparing to deflect it.

Below, Kurotuchi let out a long sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Because although Jingxin's swordsmanship was also very strong, it appeared slightly weak compared to his other abilities.

Whenever Jingxin used a ninja blade against an enemy, there were basically only two possibilities.

First: The enemy was pathetically weak, and Jingxin was testing the coordination of his squad members.

Second: Jingxin's true goal was not to defeat the enemy quickly; he was starting to go easy on them.

Minato activated the Flying Thunder God, appearing near the kunai, his body flipping gracefully in mid-air as the Rasengan in his hand bypassed Jingxin's blade.

"Little one, watch out!" Minato warned Jingxin: "To the left."

Jingxin mobilized the chakra within his body, surging it into his pitch-black ninja blade. The blade was coated in a layer of sharp wind-attribute chakra nature transformation as he flicked his wrist to slash toward the right, intending to cut Minato's Rasengan in half.

But the result...

Minato's Rasengan took a turn, heading straight for Jingxin's left shoulder.

Jingxin was startled and hurriedly activated his Susanoo.

Bang!

The Susanoo ribcage was struck by Minato's Rasengan, and Jingxin's body flew back several meters before barely coming to a stop.

"Huh?!" Minato asked blankly: "I told you the left, why did you...?"

Jingxin's mouth twitched: "Your left is my right, isn't it?"

"Wow!" Minato's body began to descend as he exclaimed: "In that situation, I thought you wouldn't have time to think about that. It was my mistake; I didn't expect your thinking speed to be so fast."

Jingxin: "..."

"Hahaha!" Minato laughed: "It seems you are a good candidate for learning the Flying Thunder God Technique~"

His body threw another Flying Thunder God kunai, and Minato hurriedly warned: "This time it's the right!"

Bang!

"Why was it the left?!"

"Uh... I thought you would continue thinking about that question."

What a blockhead!

Jingxin's face tightened, too lazy to even retort. His gaze fell upon the cracked Susanoo ribcage, and he stimulated his ocular power to repair it.

"Ah..."

While everyone was distracted by the comical scene of Jingxin and Minato's battle, a muffled sound of pain came from within the barrier.

Hiruzen Sarutobi clutched his arm, his body covered in wounds, blood flowing from the corners of his lips and dripping down his beard onto the ground.

"Lord Hokage!"

"How could this happen!"

"What should we do?!"

The surroundings became chaotic.

Jingxin knew the opportunity had arrived, so while sparring with Minato, he "chatted" with him: "I have to find a way to get in."

Minato was also thinking, bombarding Jingxin with Rasengans while saying: "You could try using the technique of that white statue; I believe there is a sixty percent chance it could break the barrier."

His guess was remarkably accurate.

But Jingxin could not truly help Hiruzen Sarutobi, so he shook his head slightly: "My chakra is already running low."

Having said that, he glanced at the system panel.

Hmm...

Chakra remaining: 91.7%.

"I've got it!" Jingxin's eyes lit up. "I can use a sealing technique to seal your chakra, then use your chakra to connect to the Flying Thunder God mark you left inside the barrier, and use the Flying Thunder God Technique to get in!"

"Quick! Teach me the Flying Thunder God Technique, I'll learn it on the spot!"

This heaven-defying, explosive declaration echoed throughout the entire scene.

Almost everyone instantly cast looks of horror toward Jingxin.

Even Orochimaru's body jolted, and he whipped his head around to stare at Jingxin.

For a moment, he actually forgot to continue his pursuit of the injured Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But this "possibility" could hardly be blamed on Orochimaru.

After all...

Just listen to that—is that even something a human would say?

That was the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Ever since the Flying Thunder God Technique was developed, aside from its creator, only one other person in the world's number one ninja village—the so-called "cradle of geniuses"—had managed to learn it after all these years.

So now, would you mind explaining to me?

What exactly is meant by...

Learning it on the spot?
