Flying Thunder God Technique × What a Coincidence, I Know a Little About It Too

The pain, like a tidal wave, surged forth relentlessly...

After his physique surpassed 1000, his body seemed to have broken through some kind of limitation, touching upon a different realm. Accompanied by a muffled groan from Roy, a thin, blood-red membrane could be seen emanating from the Sun-Earring Boy's skin... This membrane was different from a [Nen Barrier]; it seemed more like [Blood Qi] overflowing, bursting forth from his pores, clearly indicating...

At this moment, Roy's Blood Qi and energy were at an incredibly terrifying level!

"Swoosh—" The finger scratched the wall, leaving ten deep finger marks... Just a few days ago, Gotoh had brought people to smooth it out and repair it, and tonight there are new wounds. The young butler will probably have to lead people on another trip.

Hmm...

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, one minute... Finally, the excruciating pain showed signs of subsiding.

Roy regained control of his body, gritted his teeth, and steadied himself against the wall. He stretched out his body, engaging all the joints in his body.

Crackling sound Like popping Beans... This time the increase was so great that his height couldn't be contained, and he shot up another two centimeters... He's probably almost up to Silva's eye level now...

"Whew~" A minute and a half later, the pain completely disappeared.

The water cascaded down, washing away the dirt clinging to Roy's body, revealing his firm, full muscles... These muscles were different from before; illuminated by the overhead light, they shimmered with a bronze glow, bulging slightly as Roy exhaled softly... The veins on them were hidden beneath the skin, yet they resembled an earth dragon turning over, exuding a powerful and beautiful aura.

[Name: Roy Zoldyck]

[Physical Fitness: 946.5 → 1246.5 (Note: Average person is 1)]

[Manifested Aura: C+(54620/100000)→C+(89541/100000) (Note: Rating is based on Chimera Ant)]

[Potential Aura: C+(87841/100000→B-(1451/million))]

[Rating: C++ (Note: Peak Chimera Ant Squadron Leader level, only one step away from the Three Royal Guards)]

Roy took a step, and his overwhelming "Nen" formed a circle, radiating outwards from the center of his toes... covering a radius of one hundred meters... one hundred and fifty meters... two hundred meters... two hundred and fifty meters, passing through in the blink of an eye... until three hundred meters!

Its speed gradually decreased, finally stopping at a radius of 320 meters... and this range clearly exceeded the [circle] shown by Zeno in the original work!

"Tsk... it's only been a short time... two days already?" In the dimly lit little room near the garden on the first floor, Maha, surrounded by [circle], was happily rocking in his rocking chair. At one moment, a hand reached out and grabbed a [Heart Bug] trying to burrow into his heart, saying casually, "Adult matters are none of a child's business..."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger, sending the [Heart Bug] tumbling head over heels. The worm whimpered and crawled back, tilting its head back to reveal its long mandibles as it complained to Roy.

Roy opened one hand, cradled it in his palm, and softly comforted him, "It's alright, he won't be able to defend against it sooner or later."

"Gurgle~" Sun-Earring Boy finished speaking, another [Heart Bug] was flicked away with his finger, curling up into a ball, "Thud~"

It landed in Roy's palm.

"Getting cocky with just a little progress... You're far worse than your grandfather, let alone your great-grandfather..." Silva's cold words followed [Heart Bug's ] Youyou chorus...

Roy nodded casually. "I know."

The 300-meter limit is only because the villa where his father and grandfather assassinated Chrollo was only 300 square meters, not... Zeno's true limit...

However, looking at the entire Zoldyck, apart from Maha and Silva, everyone else, including Tsubone, Scarface, and One-Eye... even though Illumi reacted, he couldn't pull out his own [Heart Bug]. At this moment, in Illumi's bedroom... the foolish younger brother, as usual, disguised himself as his Nii-san brother, buried himself in a pit, and slept soundly, clutching the [God Spear Wood Nail] that Roy had given him, sniffing a wave of Nen...

He suddenly opened his eyes, peering through the walls towards Roy's bedroom, and said calmly, "You don't need to peek. Whatever you want to know, I'll cut open my heart and tell you everything."

Roy: "Shut up."

"Oh~" Illumi obediently shut his mouth and even closed his eyes.

Suddenly... [Circle] receded... transforming into "Nen Flow" and returning to Roy's body...

The Sun-Earring Boy raised his hand, turned off the shower, and with a thought, separated a strand of "Nen Qi," imbued with [True Meaning of Scorching Heat], instantly evaporating the remaining water stains on his skin... He then changed into his pajamas, left the bathroom, opened the pills Gotoh had brought, crushed them into powder, placed them in his palm, and carefully comprehended them... Gradually, a wave of drowsiness washed over him. At ten o'clock that night, accompanied by a wild wolf howl from the depths of the Mike Kukuroo Mountain...

Roy went straight to bed, placed his hands on his lower abdomen, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Sigh~" A soft snore escaped... "Caw~" A crow cawed, and the Golden Crow spread its wings, nestling beside Roy's pillow, fluttering its wings and beginning its night watch... The third foot, hidden beneath its thick feathers, faintly revealed a toe, which seemed... to have grown a little longer...

"Tune in..." The wooden grandfather clock in the corner struck...

Roy's consciousness was immersed in the dream world, as usual, entering his own Cognitive World through "deep sleep." He walked through the colorful Dream Passage with his hands behind his back, and saw the azure Sea of Cognition, its tides rising and falling, with many portals standing silently. The Sun-Earring Boy rolled up his trousers, letting the waves wash over his feet, and waded through. Along the way, he extended a hand, stroking the portals in turn: [Gate of Demon Slayer], [Gate of the Dark Continent], and... the portal with the [Towering Corpse Demon] pendant. Finally, he stopped in front of the [Hokage Gate], looking up at the "eye pendant," then glancing down at the panel again...

The panel prompts... [There is still approximately... needed to "collect Negative Emotions" and unlock the "Sharingan"Mangekyō...]

More than 9,000 points of negative energy...

[Hint: "Yin Release" lv3: (941/10000)]

Roy remained silent for a moment... Then, he channeled all the Negative Emotions from "Uchiha Obito," "Old Mark," and "Lady Nora," which were residing in his [Unconscious Realm], into his [Yin Release]. The panel displayed... ["Yin Release" lv3: (941/10000) → (2741/10000)]

[7259 points of negative energy are needed to "collect Negative Emotions" and awaken the "Sharingan"Mangekyō.]

Roy whispered, "The Third World War, here I come."

He reached out and pushed open the [Gate of Hokage], then slipped inside...

"Pop~" A "sleeping bubble" on the tip of the nose bursts... accompanied by the familiar feeling of falling.

When Roy opened his eyes again, he was back in the Hokage world, that familiar "home," the home of Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Mikoto... a family of four...

"Whoosh~" The March wind rises, scattering cherry blossoms all over the ground.

In the courtyard, a water vessel tilts, causing the winding stream to flow gently, creating a soft, drizzling sound.

Roy shook off his sleepiness, opened his drowsy eyes, and looked out the window through the open wooden sliding door. There, a small figure, holding a wooden sword, danced beneath a tree filled with fluttering cherry blossoms.

At that moment, a flash of light appeared... "Swish, swish~" Several slashes followed...

A falling cherry blossom was split in two, cut along its veins; the sharpness of the blade and the precision of its cut hinted at a complete mastery of "Flame Breathing"...

"The sword is still not steady enough, the heart is still not calm enough. Of the 547 cherry blossoms, four missed... Itachi, you... 'Nii -Nii-san, you're awake.' Itachi sheathed his sword, took a slight breath, and looked back."

A gust of wind rose, and a few more cherry blossoms fell...

Roy smiled and nodded at him, then pointed his fingers like a sword, and with a flick of his wrist, he made a slashing motion in the air... A dazzling blade of light flashed and disappeared, then grazed Itachi's ear... The young Sun-Earring Boy raised his head, and all the cherry blossom petals were sliced cleanly along their veins, not a single one more or less, turning into countless tiny leaf fragments that fluttered down...

In the blink of an eye, his shoulders were covered in it.

"The body is like a sword, the mind is like a sword; a flower is a world, a leaf is a Bodhi tree—it's all just like that... it's all just like that..."

As the sound rang out, Roy gracefully descended. Like a ghost, his feet moved with the rhythm of a mastered [Shunpo], a [Shadow Step] imbued with a subtle glint of movement, and he appeared before Itachi. With his back to the Sun-Earring Boy, he elegantly scooped up a handful of water from a water vessel and tilted his head back to drink it...

The sun is shining brightly today; let's raise a glass!

"Nii-san, Mom won't let you drink tap water."

"Cough cough..." Itachi's words almost choked Roy to death.

The Sun-Earring Boy wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and said to himself, "Only heaven, earth, you, and I know. If I don't tell, and you don't tell, how would she know?"

"Your mother isn't blind yet!" Uchiha Mikoto Uchiha Mikoto, hands on her hips. Uchiha Mikoto, and "twisted" them into the restaurant...

"I haven't washed up yet." Roy glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, who was already waiting at the table. The man glared at him helplessly, wondering why this kid could sleep so much. Itachi, who was a few years younger than him, was already awake, but he was still asleep... Fugaku seriously suspected that even he, at this age, couldn't sleep as well as Roy. He snorted and said, "By the time you're done washing up, Minato will be here!"

Today was the Sarutobi Hiruzen had told them to report for duty, and with Team Minato supposed to assemble at 8:00, it was already 7:30... Roy was forcibly pressed onto the dining table by Uchiha Mikoto: "Eat first, then wash up."

Helpless, he could only instruct Itachi to squeeze the toothpaste for him, only to be met with a few Byakugan rolls from Mikoto.

Fugaku waved his hand, signaling Mikoto to let it go... Itachi obediently ran to the washroom to squeeze toothpaste, already resembling Roy, and decided to let him be willful this once more...

"Have a meal."

Fugaku glared at Roy, then picked up his chopsticks. Breakfast consisted of miso soup with a fried egg and some sushi that Mikoto had wrapped and refrigerated the night before. It was rather bland, but... Roy forced himself to eat it. For him, it was just a way to cleanse his stomach. He smacked his teeth and ate it straight down...

Seeing this, Fugaku took a sip of miso soup and said unhurriedly, "I've already secretly discussed it with the clan elders, and I've arranged for Tekka and Inabi to secretly follow you... They're both on the list, and now that they've awakened their Three-Tomoe Sharingan, they can help you to some extent..."

"Oh~"

Uchiha Tekka and Inabi are indeed the most talented and gifted members of the younger generation of the Uchiha, second only to Obito Shisui. Although they are far from being "geniuses," calling them "excellent" is not an exaggeration.

Roy took a bite of the sushi; there was too much vinegar, and it didn't taste as good as the sushi his master Urokodaki Sakonji, made when he ate it at Mount Sagiri.

With a thud, he forced it down into his stomach.

"Hmm." Fugaku picked up a fried egg from his plate and handed it to Roy, then said in a deep voice, "Remember, this time when you go to the battlefield, your own safety must be your top priority. Try your best not to find yourself alone."

What about the mission?

"It's okay not to complete it."

Where are your companions?

Who are your companions?

"Obito, Kakashi, Nohara Rin..." Roy looked at Fugaku and slowly uttered the three names.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at him expressionlessly. "Are they surnamed Uchiha?"

Roy: "6"

Silence fell.

Seeing this, Fugaku said to himself, "When a person dies, they have nothing left, including... their comrades!"

"Jin," the man put down his chopsticks, looking at him intently, and said, "Leaving aside Minato Uchiha can die, but you... you can't!"

Yes... I can't... Roy thought of Old Mark and Lady Nora, who were determined to die. Their courage to give up their lives for Little Matty was something ordinary people couldn't possess...

"I understand." Roy nodded silently.

Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief, then secretly exchanged a glance with Mikoto beside him, his tone becoming more relaxed. "Don't underestimate yourself. No one knows your strength better than me... As long as you don't encounter some particularly strong Jonin," Roy glanced at his own stats expressionlessly.

[His Manifested Aura... approximately three times that of Kakashi]

And below that... a whole bunch of "abilities," "application techniques," "ninjutsu"... remain silent...

"Alright, let's eat. Why are you talking about this?" Uchiha Mikoto winked at Fugaku, then handed him another piece of sushi, saying, "Jin, when you go to the battlefield, listen to your Uncle Minato. Mom has already spoken to him through your Aunt Kushina. He'll be watching over you and bringing you back safely."

Uchiha Mikoto then smoothed out the wrinkles on Roy's collar, smiling as she said, "After all, when it comes to escaping, no one is faster than Minato..."

"That's right," Fugaku agreed wholeheartedly, his voice booming, "Minato's talent in space-time is very strong. As of now... he's the only one who has mastered the [Flying Raijin] technique inherited from the Second Hokage."

[Flying Thunder God Technique]: A type of [Body Flicker Technique]. The caster leaves the Flying Thunder God Formula on the target beforehand, and then uses the [Marking] to instantly teleport... Essentially, it's a manifestation of "space-time talent"... emphasizing "suddenness" and "high mobility"...

This is somewhat similar to his own [Swamp Space], but the difference is... [Flying Raijin] still requires Marking, while [Swamp Space] doesn't, it's completely at Roy's mercy. However... the teleportation distance might not be as great as [Flying Raijin]...

Roy took the sushi Mikoto handed him, took a bite, and mumbled, "I understand."

"If all else fails, I'll do Minato and use [Space-Time Ninjutsu] to escape..."

"Huh... huh?!!" Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto stared in unison... Just then, Itachi came out after squeezing out the toothpaste and saw his parents staring at each other, completely bewildered by their Nii-san...

The little head was filled with big questions...

What happened?
