The Scapegoat Hiruzen Sarutobi Was About to Become; Flying Thunder God Basics

"Hahaha! I bet even Tsunade didn't expect you could actually do it!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and stroked his beard, looking at the Hokage Building that was right in front of him.

"Come on! We've arrived!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he strode forward, with Uchiha Makoto following closely behind. The people behind them remained on the first floor of the Hokage Building to hand over the mission.

Stepping into the Hokage's office, Uchiha Makoto glanced around. The place was almost identical to what he had seen a year ago, except that it was much cleaner now that a few old men were gone.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already taken out the Forbidden Scroll.

"Seal Released!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi his hands together, with only his index and middle fingers raised. With a low growl, the sealing runes on the Forbidden Scroll quickly faded and reformed, transforming into written characters.

"Is this the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Uchiha Makoto muttered to himself as he peered toward the Forbidden Scroll.

Hmm, there are a lot of words...

The text contains numerous discussions about spacetime and the principles behind the Flying Thunder God technique, which can be quite overwhelming.

"What a brilliant argument!"

Looking at the "paper" before him, which could perhaps be called the "Flying Thunder God Technique," Uchiha Makoto was engrossed in reading it.

The Flying Thunder God relies on spatial nodes for movement, but many spatial nodes cannot be guaranteed to allow the user to pass through safely.

Therefore, Senju Tobirama constructed spatial nodes himself, which are known as the Flying Thunder God Mark.

In Senju Tobirama's setting, the Flying Thunder God Mark is more like an "anchor," allowing the Flying Thunder God to teleport to the anchored target.

Even the descriptions of the Flying Thunder God Mark mention using Sealing Jutsu to stabilize it!

It's quite comprehensive!

"When I first saw it, I was absolutely amazed by the teacher's vision!"

"Unfortunately, none of us possessed sufficient spatial and temporal talent to learn this forbidden technique."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, a hint of melancholy lingered in his voice, but then his tone shifted.

"But Minato has inherited it, and his performance on the battlefield has certainly lived up to the reputation of the Flying Thunder God!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, his eyes glanced at Uchiha Makoto Mangekyō Sharingan, and a rare lack of confidence crept into his heart.

"It's such a pity that the inheritor of the Flying Thunder God is trapped on the Sand Ninja front!"

Instead of responding to Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Uchiha Makoto deliberately steered the conversation in another direction.

"If the Sand Ninja front can win, I believe that with the Flying Thunder God Taijutsu, Minato Namikaze will be able to effectively contain the powerful Cloud Ninja who excel in taijutsu!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened to these words and nodded silently.

That's what he thought too!

If it weren't for the presence of the Four-Tails Rōshi on the Sand Ninja front, whose body was enveloped in magma and few in Konoha could rival him, he would have transferred Minato Namikaze to the Cloud Ninja Front long ago!

"Unfortunately, the Sand Ninja and their Allied Shinobi Forces are incredibly tenacious! For now, we can only maintain a stalemate!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, sounding somewhat helpless.

Due to the oversupply of low-end ninja tools, battles between the various factions are now characterized by their wealth and arrogance, with all sorts of weapons being thrown around like beans!

This also narrowed the gap in strength between the various ninja villages, creating a situation where they could only tug at each other's throats.

"What's so special about Sand Village!"

Uchiha Makoto looked on with disdain.

"If Konoha needs us, we Uchiha are willing to set foot in the Land of Wind and wipe out the Sand Ninja in one fell swoop!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi his hands repeatedly, trying to soothe him.

"As Konoha Uchiha, how can the Uchiha clan return to the battlefield so soon after their return!"

Uchiha Makoto's words made Hiruzen Sarutobi tense up.

The Uchiha awakened two Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan while on the Mist Ninja front. If Uchiha were sent to the Sand Ninja front, who knows how many Mangekyō Sharingan they might awaken?

"Lord Hokage is mistaken!"

Uchiha Makoto laughed and waved his hand, then began to explain to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"What I'm saying is that we can defeat the Sand Ninja without even going to the battlefield!"

"As everyone knows, a year ago, the Sand Ninja spies attempted to steal Rōran's secrets. After being exposed, they destroyed a large amount of Rōran's farmland and even caused a diplomatic incident!"

"Perhaps this is where we can start!"

"However, the cost might be a bit higher."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "You mean we should contact the Rōran and have them put pressure on the Sand Ninja, distracting them so we can take this opportunity to defeat them in one fell Sand Ninja!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke excitedly, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Uchiha Makoto, standing to the side, was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement and said:

"We, the Uchiha, have some business ties with Rōran, and we are willing to serve as Konoha's envoy to Rōran!"

"Hiss~"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was still struggling with how to carry out the Hiruzen Sarutobi, suddenly gasped.

He grabbed Uchiha Makoto's arm and looked at Uchiha Makoto with an excited expression.

"The Uchiha truly live up to their reputation as the number one clan in Konoha. Then I'll leave this matter to the Uchiha!"

Uchiha Makoto placed his hand on Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

"It's all for Konoha, Uchiha has no choice but to do their duty!"

"Please have the Lord Hokage draft a document."

Uchiha Makoto grinned, a very happy smile.

Soon we can start grinding the Uchiha's reputation in Konoha.

Although things have taken a turn for the worse, Hiruzen Sarutobi will forever bear the blame for "causing chaos in the Shinobi World"!

Both Uchiha Makoto and Hiruzen Sarutobi were very satisfied with their conversation, and the handover of the subordinates also went smoothly.

After completing all of this, everyone returned to their homes.

Uchiha Makoto sat in his own courtyard, exploring the various essentials of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Just as he expected.

For him, who possesses "Ōnamuchi - Hidden World", the prerequisites for Flying Thunder God are all very simple!

It's practically barrier-free!

That's why he's now in a slightly awkward situation.

He didn't have a specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai!

No, it should be said that he hasn't even figured out his own Flying Thunder God Mark yet!

Without the Flying Thunder God Kunai, when he experimented with the Flying Thunder God technique with his Shadow Clone Technique, even when using his Dōjutsu, the probability of him successfully executing the Flying Thunder God was only 30% to 70%!

"Without the Flying Thunder God Kunai anchor space-time and stabilize the environment, the probability of success is so low!"

Uchiha Makoto frowned, trying to calm the negative effects of the Shadow Clone Technique.

Feeling cut off by space is really uncomfortable!

"According to the second generation's theory, the more intricate and personalized the Flying Thunder God Mark is, the easier it is to perceive!"

"I've already achieved a 30% success rate without using it now. Should I tone down my personal characteristics and increase my stealth?"

Uchiha Makoto was somewhat troubled.

In his opinion, the most successful application of the Flying Thunder God Technique in the original work was Senju Tobirama's battle against Uchiha Izuna!

With its powerful mobility and unpredictable attacks, the Flying Thunder God Technique is perfect for an assassin!

However, if the Flying Thunder God Mark is too complicated, then the Flying Thunder God Mark will inevitably be larger, and thus lose its concealment!

"Why think so much? Let's do it!"

Uchiha Makoto slapped his thigh and made a decision: he would go for secrecy!

"Summoning Technique!"

A plume of smoke rose, and suddenly a Puffy cat appeared before them.

These are the summoning beasts of the Uchiha Clan, who are renowned in the Shinobi World for their intelligence gathering and forging of high-grade ninja tools.

"Yes, just a small black dot will do, as small as possible, about the size of a mole!"

Hearing Uchiha Makoto's request, the cat stretched out its fluffy paws.

"Four specially made Kunai, mixed with Chakra Metal, so..."

"A sincere offer of one million taels!"
