A Certain Scientific Flying Thunder God Technique (Part 1)

Thus, Senju Nawaki became the youngest Jonin in the Shinobi World. This news spread rapidly through the spies of various nations to every corner of the shinobi world, and the high-ranking officials of the major hidden villages received all the information regarding Nawaki that very afternoon.

"The grandson of the God of Shinobi? However, we have no grudges with the Land of Fire, and with the ocean between us, there is no conflict. My Kirigakure only needs to develop in peace and sit back to watch the shifting winds of the continent," mused the mysterious Third Mizukage.

"An S-rank ninjutsu with such great power at age five? I wonder if it would have any effect if it hit me? This Senju Nawaki must be observed closely! Those two traitors killed his grandfather, after all! He must be just like Konoha, looking to take revenge on Kumogakure, right?" grunted the muscular Third Raikage.

"A perfect combination of nature transformation and shape transformation? I wonder how its power compares to Particle Style? We only need to send people to keep an eye on him! Konoha's merchant caravans have brought us plenty of grain recently, and we have plenty of ore anyway, so we cannot afford a conflict for the time being!" noted the Third Tsuchikage.

"A genius? Konoha really is overflowing with talent, isn't it? But we should focus on researching the power of the One-Tail; my Magnet Release has made progress again recently. There is no need to worry too much about Konoha. We have no blood feuds with the four nations, and isn't Konoha doing business with us lately? Trading gold and poison for weapons and grain—though it's a bit expensive, the lives of the villagers are more important," remarked the unnamed Third Kazekage.

Just like that, the name Senju Nawaki entered the sights of the major nations for the first time, and his reputation as a Konoha genius was acknowledged by the entire shinobi world. At five years old, he officially stepped onto the stage of the shinobi world!

By that evening, Nawaki's reputation had reached six hundred points, and it was slowly rising as the news spread. According to the system's calculations, a world-class title like this could bring him at least 1,000 reputation points. This meant that in another two or three years, he would have enough to gather 1 million Wish Power points to redeem the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit.

Overall, aside from the shortcoming in his Genjutsu and chakra volume, Nawaki already possessed the strength of a Jonin. His conventional combat methods included the Six Powers and the rapid-fire succession of elemental ninjutsu, while the Rasenshuriken and Wood Release served as his final trump cards. If he encountered an elite Jonin or higher who was unfamiliar with his abilities, they would likely be defeated by his surprise attacks.

Unfortunately, he was now considered a small-time genius, and ninjas from various villages would basically have his dossier on hand.

Therefore, to increase his trump cards and strength, he had already begun to learn the Flying Thunder God.

To learn the Flying Thunder God created by the Second Hokage, two prerequisites were required: spatial sensing ability and the ability to perform sealing formulas. Both required innate talent; the former was a talent for sensing, and the latter was a talent for learning sealing jutsu.

Possessing these abilities innately was not enough; one still needed constant study and training to reach the standard for casting.

Take spatial sensing ability, for example: initially, one could only feel faint spatial fluctuations. The first stage was sensing static spatial coordinates; the second stage was sensing and locking onto high-speed moving spatial coordinates; the final stage was simultaneously sensing and locking onto multiple high-speed moving spatial coordinates and shifting rapidly between them.

In the original work, the Second Hokage could only reach the second stage of sensing, while the Fourth Hokage had reached the final stage, allowing him to instantly kill over 50 Jonin, whereas the Second Hokage was surrounded and killed by the rebel forces led by Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

As for using the Flying Thunder God Guiding Thunder to redirect an enemy's large-scale ninjutsu attack, only the second stage of sensing ability was required.

The ability for the Flying Thunder God sealing formula was divided into three stages: the first stage was imitating the original mark and successfully placing it on an object; the second stage was creating a mark best suited to oneself—the Second used a pattern, the Fourth used text; the third stage was leaving an almost indelible mark the moment one made contact with the target.

In the original work, both the Second Hokage and the Fourth Hokage achieved the third stage of the sealing formula. The enemies qualified to have them leave a mark on their bodies were all extremely powerful, at least in terms of defense, making them difficult to finish off in one strike; otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient to just kill them? Thus, leaving a mark on an enemy was a desperate measure to turn the tide.

Comparing the two, the sealing formula should be easier to learn, while spatial sensing relied more on grueling practice. The difference between the two was like that between ninjutsu and shurikenjutsu; the former relied on theoretical practice, while the latter relied on insight and talent, and it had no limits.

Therefore, when practicing the Flying Thunder God, Nawaki decided to start with the easy and move to the difficult. Initially, he would focus his training on researching the sealing formula while simultaneously practicing spatial sensing. Once his mastery of the seal reached the third stage, he would then put his full effort into training his spatial sensing ability.

Nawaki only spent one afternoon achieving the first stage of both Flying Thunder God abilities, but this was useless, as it took him an hour to imitate and create a mark according to the records in the Scroll of Sealing! Moreover, because the spatial fluctuations emitted by this mark did not match the frequency of his spatial sensing, he needed to remain perfectly still for ten minutes, focusing all his energy on sensing the spatial fluctuations, just to teleport to the location of the mark—and this distance was within one meter! If the distance increased, the time required would be even longer!

Remaining motionless for ten minutes just to teleport one meter had absolutely no practical value. Use it for transport? Ten minutes was enough for him to run 100,000 meters! Not to mention using it in combat; that would be no different from suicide.

However, there was some good news in the process. Nawaki discovered that if he stood on the mark and made zero-distance contact with it, he could flash at zero distance—that is, continuously shuttle between the dimensional space and reality through the mark!

Although this process lasted only for an instant, he was actually able to flash continuously without interruption, and the connection was perfect; the time interval between two flashes was less than one-thousandth of an instant!

The world is in a constant state of flux, coming into being and passing away! Quantum physics has already proven this. The most basic structure of all matter is the "string." The essence of a string is singular, but it can be divided into two forms: "open" and "closed"—this is how one gives birth to two. They can emit vibrations of different frequencies, and when two frequencies meet, they generate a third frequency—this is how two gives birth to three. Electrons, protons, quarks—these basic particles are "strings" of different frequencies, and they constitute all things in the world; this is what is meant by three giving birth to all things!

"String" is the term used by scientists; in various religions, they call "string" "Wish Power" or "mind intent." Therefore, all things are created by the mind, and Wish Power can manifest all things according to the rules of the universe (the Heavenly Dao). This is the basic principle of the Wish Power System!

But what does this "string theory" have to do with the world's coming into being and passing away, and what use is it to Nawaki? Listen to the next chapter for the explanation!
