The Flying Thunder God, Just Like That? (Seeking Follow-ups!!)

"Right, congratulations, Brother Minato, no, you should be the Fourth Hokage now!"

Uchiha Chen cupped his hands with a smile and congratulated Namikaze Minato.

Although as one of the transmigration crowd, having Max-Level Comprehension wasn't too embarrassing, and as long as he developed steadily, there was still a chance to become the ceiling of ninja combat power in the future, Uchiha Chen never had any intention of becoming Hokage.

Didn't he see how busy and exhausted the Seventh Hokage was after taking office in the original work?

The most crucial point was that Uchiha Chen had no such thing as the Will of Fire at all!

So, to put it in a nutshell, no one in their right mind would want to be Hokage!

Ahem, even though he thought so in his heart, Uchiha Chen still sent his sincere blessings for Namikaze Minato's upcoming succession as the Fourth Hokage.

"Thank you~ Actually, I'm quite surprised about this. After all, teachers like Jiraiya, Lady Tsunade, and Lord Orochimaru are more qualified to be Hokage than I am."

Namikaze Minato thanked him, scratching his head a little awkwardly, very humbly.

"Brother Minato, you don't need to be so modest. The position of Hokage is rightfully yours!"

Uchiha Chen just smiled and shook his head at Minato's words.

The reasons why Namikaze Minato could succeed as the Fourth Hokage, summarized by netizens from his previous life, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Uchiha Chen agreed with these reasons wholeheartedly.

Namikaze Minato's succession as the Fourth Hokage was inevitable. Besides the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, "resigning in self-reproach" due to the heavy losses brought to the village during the Third Shinobi World War, there were a few other reasons.

Firstly, Namikaze Minato's powerful strength was the most basic guarantee. His performance in this ninja war was evident to all, and the name "Yellow Flash" had already spread throughout the ninja world.

There was also Namikaze Minato's character, which was almost unanimously recognized by everyone in the Leaf Village.

Secondly, the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki, was Namikaze Minato's girlfriend. The importance of a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to the Leaf Village was self-evident. With Minato around, the Leaf Village could better control the Nine-Tails.

Thirdly, Namikaze Minato's teacher was Jiraiya, and Jiraiya's teacher was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. He could be considered pure-blooded.

When Uchiha Chen snapped back to reality, he saw Namikaze Minato waving his hand in front of him with a confused look.

"Uncle-Master Chen?"

Why did he zone out while talking?

"Ahem, sorry, I was just thinking about something and got distracted. Let's talk about you. Are you here to practice ninjutsu?"

Uchiha Chen coughed twice, changing the subject.

"Ah, right, I almost forgot. I came specifically to find you."

Namikaze Minato suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had just remembered something.

"Looking for me?"

Uchiha Chen blinked, looking puzzled.

He and Namikaze Minato had only met a few times. What could possibly require him to seek him out specifically?

Namikaze Minato awkwardly scratched his face with a finger, then leaned closer, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

"Uncle-Master Chen, Kushina agreed to my proposal~"

"Oh? Then congratulations, it's double happiness!"

Uchiha Chen was not surprised by this outcome at all. It would be truly surprising if Namikaze Minato's proposal failed.

But, coming specifically to tell him this news... wasn't that a bit much?

Teasing a single dog??

Hmph, I'm not envious, not at all!

As if sensing the confusion in Uchiha Chen's eyes, Namikaze Minato quickly explained, "Uncle-Master Chen, please don't misunderstand. I came mainly to thank you. If it weren't for what you told me that day, I wouldn't have realized I was in a misunderstanding, nor would I have figured out how to propose to Kushina."

As Minato spoke, his gaze towards Uchiha Chen became more grateful.

"This... I didn't really say much."

Looking at Minato's grateful expression, Uchiha Chen felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had just said it casually back then.

However, what Namikaze Minato said next made Uchiha Chen freeze on the spot.

Namikaze Minato paused for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "To show my gratitude, I'm prepared to teach you the Flying Thunder God!"

Uchiha Chen:????

What's going on? A divine technique like the Flying Thunder God, just because he said a few words, he got it??

Isn't this too hasty?

It must be known that this space-time ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God, played a significant role even in the later stages of Naruto.

It could be said to be a life-saving divine technique!

Facing Uchiha Chen's questioning gaze, Namikaze Minato nodded very seriously, indicating that he was not joking.

Of course, Namikaze Minato's desire to teach Uchiha Chen the Flying Thunder God wasn't solely for that reason; it was merely a slightly more plausible justification.

The main reason was that the Ninja World War had just ended, and Konoha's strength had been greatly diminished, especially its high-tier combat power.

Although the major ninja villages had signed a ceasefire agreement, such agreements could be torn up at any time.

Therefore, to prevent such a situation, one of the best countermeasures was to cultivate as many high-tier combatants as possible in a short period, but such talent was extremely rare.

Thus, Namikaze Minato chose Uchiha Chen. After all, Jiraiya had once told him that Uchiha Chen had learned the Rasengan in a single day and had even added elemental variations to it.

What shocked Namikaze Minato the most was Uchiha Chen's Sage Mode, which he had comprehended on his own!

Such talent was beyond even his own reach!

"Emmm... Since Brother Minato has said so, I shall not refuse."

In truth, Uchiha Chen could roughly guess Namikaze Minato's intentions, but no concerns could outweigh the allure of the divine technique, Flying Thunder God!

And so, Uchiha Chen reluctantly accepted.

It had to be said that Namikaze Minato was a man of action. Not long after speaking, he began the "teaching" of Uchiha Chen.

However, after just one hour, Namikaze Minato's gaze towards Uchiha Chen changed.

Because in that single hour, Namikaze Minato witnessed Uchiha Chen's transformation from not knowing the Flying Thunder God, to just learning it, and then to mastering it!!

Before this, if anyone had told him that they could learn the Flying Thunder God within an hour, he would have scoffed, let alone mastered it.

But today, he had witnessed it with his own eyes!

This Uchiha Chen, what kind of genius was he? He was simply a monster!
