"Bang!"
However, before Minato's palm touched the kunai, the chakra had already shattered in his palm. "As expected," Minato said to himself. Although his previous memories and even the methods of practicing ninjutsu were preserved, this does not mean that he can immediately perform all those ninjutsu. When he wanted to carve the mark of Flying Thunder God on the kunai in his hand, he encountered failure.
Flying Thunder God Jutsu is an S-level space-time ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. It can enable people to achieve "instant teleportation" across space through ninjutsu. This is also the origin of Minato's Yellow Flash name. With the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, he galloped across the entire battlefield of the Third War without a single defeat. Minato, who inherited it, improved the original jutsu to make it more complete. Flying Thunder God Jutsu is also one of his best ninjutsu.
The premise of teleportation is to use your chakra to mark in advance, and the essence of Flying Thunder God is to teleport between marks. However, he was not frustrated because even if he immediately mastered the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, he could not use it in actual combat. Flying Thunder God itself has no lethality, but Minato was able to use it to scare all ninja countries not only because of this jutsu but also because of himself. Using teleportation to avoid the opponent's attack, move to the enemy, and then launch an offensive, all this requires not only tactical coordination but also agile movements and reflexes that surpass all opponents.
Minato once fought against the son of the Third Raikage of the Land of Lightning, who would become the Fourth Raikage in the future, and he was able to win by relying on his reflexes that surpassed his. Otherwise, if the Flying Thunder God Jutsu was not performed, he would be killed by the extremely fast Fourth Raikage. In front of an opponent whose reflexes and speed surpassed his own, rashly using Flying Thunder God to get close would give the opponent a chance to destroy him, which was a suicidal act.
Therefore, after mastering the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Minato trained himself for several years in a targeted manner so that he could use it perfectly. Whether in the past or now, Minato is best at speed, and only with this speed can the power of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu be truly brought into play. It can be said that the Flying Thunder God Jutsu made Minato famous, and Minato also made the Flying Thunder God Jutsu famous in the ninja world. Almost all ninjas from major ninja countries know the characteristics of the movement of the Flying Thunder God, and many people have also thought about how to counter it. However, like the Fourth Raikage, they all failed without a doubt.
Any ninjutsu must have its weaknesses. If the opponent knows the weaknesses, he can take precautions, but if he understands the weaknesses, he can evade them and make the jutsu perfect. This is the jutsu of controlling people. The previous Kuriyama Shinzo made a mistake about this. He thought that he could be invincible in the world after obtaining an immortal body. The power of the jutsu blinded his original reason, which was the reason for his failure.
In order to cooperate with the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and increase the destructive power, Minato spent three years developing another ninjutsu: Rasengan! Minato spread out his right hand and tried to make the chakra start to rotate at high speed in his palm. Buzz. The azure chakra light appeared, but the rotation only lasted for a few moments before it collapsed. "The Rasengan can't be used for now." Minato smiled bitterly. In his expectation, the Rasengan was not a perfect ninjutsu, but just an undeveloped "prototype."
Now, the Rasengan is just a change in the form of chakra. Its complete form should be a combination of the changes in the nature of chakra. At that time, the difficulty of learning the Rasengan was no longer A-level but a real S-level ultimate ninjutsu. It's just that the development of S-level ninjutsu was too difficult. Minato was in the midst of the war before, and developing the Rasengan was the limit. Before he had time to perfect it, the disaster had already come.
If he had completed the transformation of the nature of chakra, that Rasengan might not have killed the masked man, but at least it would not have been so easy for him to use the space-time ninjutsu to escape. Thinking of this, Minato could not help but thank Jiraiya. This great teacher, both in the past and now, has been his guide on the road of being a ninja. In addition to his own efforts and the help of many partners, the guidance of the teacher is also one of the important factors for him to become the Fourth Hokage. For more than a year, although the teacher did not teach him any overly advanced ninjutsu, he trained his reflexes and body movements.
This coincides with the factors required to perform the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. Now that he is more than nine years old, he has the level that he only achieved when he was about twelve years old. Now his overall strength is only slightly inferior to that of an ordinary jonin. If he adds his rich combat experience and sharp fighting mind, he has a chance to win even if he faces a jonin head-on.
In the current situation, practicing the Flying Thunder God Jutsu is also a bit difficult. The Rasengan is not something that can be mastered in a short period of time. With his current strength, the opponents he encountered will not have such an urgent need for the destructive power of the Rasengan. After considering his current situation, Minato had already decided on the direction of his training. He needed to regain his perception because for the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, using perception to judge the opponent's position and choose the timing were also particularly important factors.
The most important thing was that he still had half of the Nine-Tails in his body, which should not exist in this era. He didn't want too many people to know about this, because if they did, he would be targeted by the village's high-ranking officials. As the Fourth Hokage, he knew Danzo's behavior very well. Now ordinary ninjas should not be able to feel the abnormality in his body, but sensor-type ninjas may not be able to. Suzuka had said before that there was something strange about the chakra in his body that he couldn't explain, perhaps because of the Nine-Tails chakra.
In order to avoid the perception of sensor-type ninjas, he had to first master the ability to perceive and shield sensors. Minato immediately sat cross-legged on his bed and gradually calmed down his shaken mind. The first step of the sensor is to master every detail of the flow of chakra in various parts of his body. In addition to the sensor of special abilities like Hyuga and Inuzuka, the so-called sensor is actually the ability to detect subtle changes in chakra. This requires a very precise level of chakra control and years of practice to master. Gradually, the only sound in the room that could be heard was Minato's thin breathing.
