Chapter 89: Chapter 089: Flying Thunder God
The reason why the Scroll of Seals is called the Scroll of Seals was not only because it records all the forbidden techniques since the founding of Konoha village, but also because the ninjutsu in the Scroll of Seals were all sealed literally. Only the Hokage and some high-ranking officials of Konoha know the specific sealing formula to unlock the Scroll of Seals.
If one doesn't know these seals, it would be useless even if they got the Scroll of Seals. For those, the Scroll of Seals was undoubtedly a useless archive.
After handing the Scroll of Seals to Asahi, Hiruzen said: "The Scroll of Seals does not have a detailed record of the training process of the [Flying Thunder God Technique]. It is more of an inference of space-ninjutsu. As for how to practice it, it depends on your intelligence."
"Yes!" Asahi nodded, and then set his eyes on the Scroll of Seals. After about half an hour, Asahi returned the Scroll of Seals to Hiruzen, "I have memorized it, Hokage-sama."
Hiruzen took the Scroll of Seals and made a few seals with his hands. The seal on the Scroll of Seals was activated again. The content that originally recorded about the [Flying Thunder God Technique] turned into nothingness, leaving only the four words "Flying Thunder God Technique" and some sealing patterns.
"Minato has already learned this ninjutsu. If you want, you can go and ask Minato for advice." Hiruzen suggested.
"I understand. Thank you, Hokage-sama." Asahi replied.
"You may take your leave then." said Hiruzen.
After leaving the Hokage Office, Asahi hurried back home and bought some ingredients on the way. He seemed very casual.
Asahi didn't know how Hiruzen had judged him at this moment, but if Asahi was Hiruzen, he would definitely have some doubts about him.
There was nothing wrong with pursuing powerful ninjutsu. After all, all ninjas yearn for powerful ninjutsu.
But the [Flying Thunder God Technique] was different. The [Flying Thunder God Technique] is a space-time ninjutsu. As long as one could learn this ninjutsu, they could move through space according to coordinates. In other words, as long as one masters this ninjutsu, they would have enough means to save their life even when facing a ninja who was much stronger than them.
So the question would be, "Does Asahi has any intention in wanting to learn this ninjutsu?"
…
Hokage Office.
Just as Asahi judged, Hiruzen was also in deep thought now.
Judging from Asahi's performance in recent years, there seemed to be nothing wrong. However, Asahi was mature in his thought process and usually respectful and cautious, which made Hiruzen feel that he was onto something.
He had a clean background and is Tsunade's disciple, which were Asahi's advantages. Therefore, Hiruzen was not willing to think too much about it. Maybe Asahi really just yearned for the power of [Flying Thunder God Technique], so he wanted to learn this ninjutsu.
After all, even Tsunade and Shikaku believed in Asahi, and Hiruzen did not find that Asahi did anything that was detrimental to Konoha.
If Asahi really deceived everyone, then Hiruzen would have no choice but to accept it.
However, before discovering that Asahi did something detrimental to Konoha, Hiruzen was still willing to train Asahi.
After all, Asahi was a qualified candidate to succeed Tsunade. In the current Konoha, there was no other person who could replace him.
…
At Asahi's home.
After Asahi returned home, he immediately wrote down the contents of the [Flying Thunder God Technique] on paper using the language from his previous life.
Although he had always known that the [Flying Thunder God Technique] was difficult, Asahi had never thought that it would be so difficult.
The Scroll of Seals does not contain the specific steps for practicing the [Flying Thunder God Technique], but only provides a description of the [Flying Thunder God Technique] and an analysis of spatial-movement. Just as Hiruzen said, if he wanted to learn this ninjutsu, he must rely on his own intelligence.
Although Asahi was not a true genius like Minato and Kakashi, after so many years of hard study and more than a year of studying forbidden techniques with Orochimaru, and with Tsunade's teaching, Asahi was fully confident that he could learn even some forbidden techniques.
But after seeing the [Flying Thunder God Technique], Asahi felt a headache.
Although it was very difficult, this does not affect his desire for the [Flying Thunder God Technique]. Now that he had chosen this ninjutsu, he must continue to study it.
After following Orochimaru for more than a year, Asahi had read a lot of information about forbidden techniques from him and had gained a certain understanding of forbidden techniques. Moreover, Tsunade had spared no effort in teaching Asahi. Although Asahi has had a very tiring life in the past few years, he had also gained a lot.
What's more, there was also Minato, a pioneer who had already learned the [Flying Thunder God Technique]. As long as Minato was willing to teach Asahi, he was confident that he could learn it.
Minato had a very good attitude towards Asahi, according to the inferences Asahi once made. Perhaps it was because Asahi was Tsunade's disciple, and Minato knew that his teacher Jiraiya liked Tsunade. So maybe he wanted to create some opportunities for his teacher.
Under such circumstances, it was very likely that Minato was willing to guide Asahi. After all, Minato had once taught it to his Hokage Guard Platoon, but unfortunately their talent was not good enough, and only with the joint effort of all of them, could they barely perform the [Flying Thunder God Technique] together.
The most important reason why Asahi attached so much importance to the [Flying Thunder God Technique] was obviously to save his life.
Although Asahi was very vigilant, he does not have the extraordinary reaction speed that Minato possesses, so it was difficult for him to apply the [Flying Thunder God Technique] in actual combat like Minato does.
But this does not affect Asahi's pursuit of the [Flying Thunder God Technique]. If Asahi learned the Sage Mode one day in the future, he could use the natural perception of the Sage Mode in conjunction to the [Flying Thunder God Technique] in actual combat.
Taking out a notebook, Asahi wrote down all of his analysis of the [Flying Thunder God Technique].
Rather than learning it, it would be more accurate to say that the [Flying Thunder God Technique] was recreated through the Second Hokage's analysis of space-ninjutsu. The difficulty of this was definitely far greater than creating an S-level ninjutsu.
Asahi studied at home until late at night. In the end, Asahi's mind was in a mess and he had to lie down in bed to rest.
After obtaining the [Flying Thunder God Technique], what Asahi was most looking forward to now was that Hiruzen would send him to the battlefield of the Iwagakure-front.
Asahi was not worried about how this would happen. First of all, Asahi was a medical ninja, and Hiruzen also intended to let Asahi ask Minato for advice, so it was only a matter of time before Asahi was sent to that battlefield.
'The plan is going well.' Lying quietly on the warm bed, Asahi felt a sense of relaxation all over his body.
From the very beginning, Asahi had been walking on the edge of a blade, until this moment, when he obtained the [Flying Thunder God Technique], Asahi's heart was finally relaxed by a lot.
Next, it depended on his own efforts. Whether he could learn this ninjutsu or not, and the outcome would determine Asahi's future fate.
