Flying Raijin Technique (Third Watch)

The next afternoon, the day passed without incident.

In Konohagakure, on a training ground where countless stories had been settled by the passage of time, Uchiha Chiba stood alone. His gaze was firm and burning, locked tightly onto the clearing ahead.

The original story says that the Flying Raijin Technique is a jutsu that only those with talent can master. I wonder if I possess such talent...

The Flying Raijin Technique is renowned throughout the ninja world for its elusive mobility; the user can instantly traverse marked spaces, killing enemies in the blink of an eye.

Chiba slowly closed his eyes, beginning to refine his chakra and focusing his mental energy to a high degree.

Following the jutsu formula recorded on the scroll, he carefully guided the chakra to flow, compress, and take shape within his body. At first, that surge of chakra was like a mischievous sprite, difficult to tame, darting wildly through his meridians.

Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped from Chiba's forehead, but his expression remained focused. He continuously adjusted the trajectory of his chakra, as if he could feel the very flow of his blood.

Attempt after attempt, the calculated landing point of the chakra would shatter at the critical moment of success. Uchiha Chiba's breathing grew rapid, and a sense of frustration surged within him like a tide. He bit his lower lip hard until a trace of blood seeped out; the sharp pain made his eyes grow even clearer.

"A mere Flying Raijin..." Uchiha Chiba stared intently at the clearing before him, then began to continuously simulate the landing points in his mind.

HUM!!!!

The chakra dissipated.

Taking another deep breath, Chiba began to condense his chakra once more. This time, he cast aside all distracting thoughts, immersing his body and mind completely in the understanding and control of the jutsu formula.

Gradually, the chakra began to gather obediently, forming a faint, ethereal seal in the palm of his hand. It emitted a weak glow, revealing the pattern of a rose.

Chiba snapped his eyes open, a flash of determination in them. He performed the hand seals in an instant and let out a low shout: "Flying Raijin Technique!"

In an instant, his figure vanished from the spot!

BOOM!!!!

The trees in the training ground collapsed with a roar.

Tree: Hey, buddy? You!

Following this, Uchiha Chiba emerged from behind the mangled trees.

Although the result was not ideal, a look of relief appeared on Uchiha Chiba's face.

"Although it's not perfect yet, I should be able to master it in a few months. The auxiliary abilities of the Sharingan are no joke." Those original Three Tomoe Sharingan eyes rotated slowly; the pair of eyes that had been on the verge of blindness had already been put away by Chiba.

Chiba knew that he had already touched the threshold of the Flying Raijin Technique. As long as he continued to work hard and constantly polish his skills, one day he would be able to move like the Yellow Flash from the original story on the battlefield—perhaps even surpass him!

After all, who doesn't love the god-like speed of the ninja world?

Of course, the Yellow Flash only failed to appear in time once in his life...

Obito: I have something to say.jpg

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the training ground, casting a long shadow of his tall and resolute figure, as if heralding the rise of a future powerhouse in the ninja world.

After a long while, Uchiha Chiba suddenly remembered something.

He pulled a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and muttered to himself, "I remember that in the original story, everyone who used the Flying Raijin formula had a unique mark. So, how did I just fly over?"

Chiba gripped the kunai tightly.

Before long, a rose pattern appeared on the kunai in Chiba's hand. He looked at it and then spoke, "I'll call you... Blood Rose."

Then, as if to experiment, Chiba threw the kunai.

"Flying Raijin Technique!"

SWISH!!!!

A red flash instantly appeared on the tree.

Uchiha Chiba landed steadily on the tree.

"Because I'm not very skilled yet, does a precise, fixed-point teleportation consume about twice the chakra I just used?" Chiba felt the changes in his chakra and muttered to himself.

Calculating based on his current state, Chiba estimated he could perform precise teleports about ten to fifteen times in a short period.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps caught Chiba's attention.

He turned his head to look.

"Master Tsunade," Chiba said.

He saw her wearing a simple, pale purple robe with loose sleeves slightly rolled up, revealing her fair and powerful forearms.

A dark brown belt was tied around her waist, perfectly outlining her slender figure while adding a touch of professional sharpness to her overall look.

On her lower body, she wore trousers of the same color, the cuffs neatly tucked into black boots. The leather of the boots shone with a soft luster, and the heels were not high, allowing her to move freely.

Her hair was no longer tied back with the meticulous precision of the battlefield; instead, it fell loosely over her shoulders, with a few strands framing her cheeks and softening her features.

"Hmm... Chiba, are you practicing ninjutsu?" Tsunade approached Uchiha Chiba and sat down on the bench beside him.

"Yes, Teacher," Uchiha Chiba replied, looking at Tsunade and suddenly remembering the Lucky Necklace still hanging around his own neck.

Tsunade sighed.

Then, she cast a glance at the setting sun, its golden light casting a touch of sorrow like the grand finale of a play.

"I plan to leave Konohagakure. Come with me, Chiba. I will teach you all of my medical ninjutsu. I can no longer hold a scalpel..." Tsunade's hair fluttered in the breeze; she had still developed the hemophobia from the original story.

Uchiha Chiba remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he spoke: "Teacher, I cannot leave the village just yet."

"Why? Didn't you say you didn't want to return to the Uchiha Clan?"

"Because of someone who has passed away. I promised her I would live on, and I must take revenge for her."

"Is that so... Then I won't force you. I will take Dan's niece, Shizune, and leave Konohagakure. I will likely return in a few years... to see you, as well as Orochimaru and Jiraiya." Tsunade stood up.

Chiba nodded and stood up as well.

Then, "Teacher, I will become Hokage." Behind Uchiha Chiba, the endless golden sunset stretched out. Of course, his reason for becoming Hokage was very simple.

For a moment, Tsunade was stunned.

The image of her deceased younger brother, Nawaki Senju, gradually overlapped with the figure of the boy before her.

Tears traced paths down her cheeks.

"Teacher? Why are you crying?" Chiba looked at Tsunade in confusion.

Tsunade walked over to Chiba's side, touched his face, and then gently kissed his forehead.

Feeling the warmth on his forehead, Chiba froze.

After a long while, "Chiba, promise me, be careful of Danzo. You must be careful of Danzo. I have received information that he is investigating you. If you truly have nowhere else to go, go stay at my house in the Senju Compound." After saying this, Tsunade left with reluctance; she had come this time specifically to say goodbye to Chiba.

Left where he stood, Uchiha Chiba clenched his fists and muttered to himself: "Danzo... Danzo... How can you be so detestable? I have to finish this guy off within a few years so I can catch up to the Third Shinobi World War and prevent Obito from falling into darkness..."

At this moment, there were still eight years left until the Third Shinobi World War.
