Flying Thunder God Technique

Although she had just asked him to help look after Naruto, only to hear him say right afterward that he would strip her husband of his authority as clan head and reduce him to a figurehead, which was admittedly rather heartless.

Still, Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and bowed to Genya once more.

The Uchiha tradition dictated that whoever awakened the Mangekyō became the clan head.

If more than one clan member awakened the Mangekyō, then the stronger one became the clan head.

The Mangekyō Genya had displayed today, along with his unmatched strength, had already ensured that the Uchiha would become his personal domain from now on.

If Genya were to impeach Fugaku at a clan meeting, nearly every Uchiha would support him.

Uchiha Genya was now practically the de facto head of the Uchiha clan.

After Genya left, Mikoto planned to give Naruto a bath first.

But the moment she unwrapped his swaddling clothes, she saw the seal on Naruto's abdomen.

Uchiha Mikoto was instantly startled and nearly dropped Naruto onto the floor.

Before marrying Fugaku and becoming a housewife, she had also been an outstanding Uchiha jonin. She immediately guessed what it was.

However, she quickly calmed her panic and resolved not to tell anyone about this before Genya gave his consent.

Not even her husband.

Since he had entrusted such an important person as the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki to her care, she had to prove herself through her actions and not betray Genya's trust.

Besides... Jinchuriki were treated as monsters wherever they went.

She did not want Kushina's child to bear such burdens from childhood.

After returning to his room, Genya directly opened the system.

[System, settle the mission.]

Genya had just displayed his strength before nearly the entire Uchiha clan, cutting down the Nine-Tails with a single slash.

There had never been a moment when his prestige within the Uchiha clan was higher than it was now.

[Mission settlement... Current host prestige among the Uchiha—Fervent]

[Main Mission One completed: Clan Prestige]

[Mission rating: S]

[Reward obtained: One Myriad World Lottery draw, Flying Thunder God Technique training experience]

Genya's eyes lit up when he saw the reward.

Ever since drawing Musō Isshin in his first lottery, Genya had been full of confidence in the Myriad World Lottery.

Perhaps because he had come into contact with Namikaze Minato earlier, the mission settlement had unexpectedly included the training method for Flying Thunder God, a space-time ninjutsu.

When Genya had asked Minato for it earlier, the man had been so stingy and refused to give it to him.

Yet hadn't it still fallen into Genya's hands now?

All his painstaking planning before and after, and his grand display on the day of the Nine-Tails Incident, had not been in vain.

As for why he had not simply found a random time to summon Susanoo and take a swing, intimidating Konoha and every Uchiha clansman...

Using a powerful move on empty air when there was no enemy—wasn't that just crazy?

In fact, if he had waited until the Nine-Tails had wrecked Konoha a little more before stepping in and casually cutting it down with one slash, the effect might have been even better.

However, Konoha's foundations ran too deep. With an ultimate Sealing Technique like the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, no one knew when Namikaze Minato might seal the Nine-Tails away ahead of time.

For that reason, it had been safer to catch the Nine-Tails with a slash the moment it broke free from its seal.

Sitting down, Genya silently said in his heart:

"Merge the reward: Flying Thunder God Technique training experience."

Flying Thunder God was not a Mangekyō Sharingan ocular technique like Kamui. It was a complex space-time ninjutsu formed through a combination of the Summoning Technique and Sealing Technique.

It did not possess a Kamui Dimension, nor could it pull those it touched into another dimension, but it activated far faster than Kamui.

Kamui still had to create a vortex and put on a show before making someone disappear.

Flying Thunder God was utterly unreasonable. With a whoosh, the person simply vanished.

Namikaze Minato could even use Flying Thunder God several times in a single second. Its speed surpassed human neural reflexes, so fast that he had earned the title of the Yellow Flash.

In an instant, Genya's consciousness seemed to enter a special space. The vast and complex Flying Thunder God Technique was continuously analyzed and put into practice within that space.

Genya gradually came to understand the basic principles of the technique. Following the figure in the simulation, his hands continuously formed the seals for the Flying Thunder God Technique.

With such hands-on instruction, even someone exceptionally stupid could theoretically learn the complex Flying Thunder God Technique.

Although a long time had passed in the simulation, only an instant had passed in reality.

When Genya opened his eyes, he felt that he had already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Let's give it a try." Genya eagerly took out a kunai and attempted to leave a Flying Thunder God Mark on it.

The specially made three-pronged kunai was merely one of Minato's little hobbies. In theory, Flying Thunder God Marks could exist anywhere and could even be left on a person's body.

Other than the power of Sealing Technique and Yin-Yang Release, there was no way to remove a Flying Thunder God Mark.

But Genya now realized that he had overlooked a very important problem.

Often, the mind had learned something, but the hands had not.

After several attempts, Genya finally managed to inscribe a Flying Thunder God Mark onto the kunai. Even then, he could feel that he was still clumsy when activating it.

After struggling for more than a minute, Genya finally used the kunai bearing the Flying Thunder God Mark to move to the other end of the room.

If Namikaze Minato's reflexes allowed him to jump several times within a second, or even faster, then Genya's activation of Flying Thunder God was far too slow.

Looking at the Flying Thunder God Mark in his hand, Genya's expression turned somewhat complicated.

Although that was because he had not yet fully mastered Flying Thunder God, he really was not suited to this overly precise style of combat.

Uchiha battles were definitely more satisfying when piloting a mecha!

Fortunately, he did not want to learn Flying Thunder God solely for its offensive power. Just looking at Minato's battle against the Nine-Tails made it clear that while Flying Thunder God had tremendous mobility, its destructive power was lacking.

What Genya wanted was precisely Flying Thunder God's mobility.

With this technique, whatever Genya wanted to do in the Ninja World would become far more convenient.

Then Genya turned his gaze toward the main reward from this mission—the Myriad World Lottery.

Though highly uncertain, it could also yield exceptionally powerful items.

His first Myriad World Lottery draw had produced a divine weapon like Musō Isshin, making him greatly anticipate this draw.

"System, begin the draw."
