Chapter 406: A Severely Watered-Down Training Plan
Jiraiya was taken aback by Ino's grand demand.
Good heavens, 200 pounds? Are you planning to bathe in spirit water?
Spirit water wasn't the water from the common ponds scattered around Mount Myoboku. It was the essence of water condensed from the gathering of pure natural energy. It might not even be possible to collect 200 pounds in a hundred years.
This matter would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for an outsider, but for Jiraiya, it wasn't too difficult. If he threw his old face to the wind and threw a tantrum with Fukasaku and Shima, he figured he could get some.
He needed to go to Mount Myoboku for the Crimson Gourd anyway, so he could just take care of it all at once.
He gritted his teeth. "Fine, I promise you... Oh, right, how far have you progressed with your Flying Thunder God training?"
He knew Ino had mastered the basics of the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he didn't know the specifics.
Now that the spirit water was secured, Kimimaro's pickling plan could continue. Ino was very happy. She had been worried about the rapid consumption of the spirit water in the Amber Purifying Pot, but now it was all good.
Jiraiya wanted to see her skill, which was no problem at all.
"Alright, Lord Hokage, watch this."
She quickly threw out a kunai marked with the Flying Thunder God seal. With a thought, she sensed her marker, tore open the space between the two points, and arrived just in time to neatly catch the kunai in mid-flight.
Previously, she had needed the assistance of her three-tomoe Sharingan. Now, after using it many times, her body memory was slowly catching up, and she was gradually developing a proficiency that came from practice.
"It doesn't seem that hard?" Naruto, who had walked back from a distance, saw Ino catch the kunai in mid-air and looked confused. He hadn't understood the inner mystery of this jutsu at all.
To him, it just looked like throwing a kunai and then running over to catch it. What was so special about that? Didn't you just need hands for that?
Jiraiya was very satisfied. Alright, Naruto's in your hands. This Sage's vacation has two hours left. I'm going to go gather some material, then go to Mount Myoboku to get water for you!
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ino quickly stopped him. "Wait, wait! It seems we have an issue we haven't cleared up... I only have one day of vacation left. You want me to teach Naruto the Flying Thunder God in one day?"
Never mind Naruto; if you brainwashed Minato Namikaze now, erased all his memories, and gave him one day, he wouldn't be able to learn the Flying Thunder God either.
Jiraiya lowered his voice. "It's the same as before. Teach him as much as you can. Let him have a general idea. When Minato asks later, he'll know he's practicing, and that the village values this matter. This Sage has other business, so I'll be going now!"
Jiraiya disappeared in a flash.
Ino looked around, felt that she couldn't give Naruto and Hinata a chance to be together, and under the pretext of training, dragged Naruto to the Forest of Death again.
It was impossible to learn in just one day; this had nothing to do with who the student or the teacher was.
Ino looked at Naruto's expression and knew he hadn't understood the mystery of the Flying Thunder God; he thought the jutsu was very simple.
Explaining the principle of the ninjutsu to Naruto was like playing a lute to a cow. The only way was to let him experience it himself.
Ino pointed to the ground at her feet and asked, "Where is this?"
Naruto's face was full of question marks. "The Forest of Death."
"Good, follow me."
Ino grabbed his shoulder as fast as lightning, and in the next second, the two were on top of the Hokage Rock.
It had to be said, taking Naruto with the Flying Thunder God was more tiring than taking Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, and Karui combined. Naruto's chakra was too much. When breaking through space, it was like carrying a chakra energy ball weighing several thousand pounds. If it weren't for Ino's mastery of the Flying Thunder God and her own abundant chakra, she really wouldn't have been able to carry him.
She maintained the air of a master, as if she had just done something insignificant. Naruto was stunned.
One second in the Forest of Death, the next on top of the Hokage Rock? This ninjutsu was too amazing!
"Again!" Ino took him to the village gate.
"Again!" When Naruto opened his eyes again, he was in the wilderness of the Land of Fire.
"Again!"
"This last journey is a bit long. The final teleportation, let's go!"
In fact, Ino was already a bit tired, but to let this guy know that the Flying Thunder God was not a "just-need-hands" ninjutsu, she still took him to teleport to a wooden house by the sea in the Land of Waves.
The quality of clay in the Land of Waves was very good. The clay bombs made there were powerful and had a wide blast radius. She often came here to gather material... this was real material gathering.
The rolling sea tide came into view. Naruto pointed blankly at the bridge in the distance.
"Where is this? It looks a bit familiar."
"That's right. This is the Great Naruto Bridge, named after you. Go catch up with your friends. Our time is limited, so be quick."
Naruto ran off happily, and Ino wiped the sweat from her forehead.
This act of showing off was not easy. If she were teleporting by herself, she definitely wouldn't be this tired.
This also exposed another problem besides his brain: Naruto's chakra was too much. Even if he had a one-in-ten-thousand chance of learning the Flying Thunder God, when he teleported, the immense chakra in his body would definitely affect the tearing of space.
This teaching mission was of hellish difficulty.
Conventional methods would definitely not work.
"So? Do you see the advantages of the Flying Thunder God now?" After bringing Naruto back to the village, Ino officially began her lesson.
Naruto first nodded, then shook his head. A jutsu that lets you fly over with a "whoosh" was indeed cool, but what else was it good for?
If it weren't for those 200 pounds of spirit water, Ino wouldn't want to teach him either. In fact, Naruto didn't need the Flying Thunder God at all. Wouldn't it be better to let him learn Sage Mode?
Expecting Naruto to learn the Flying Thunder God by himself was impossible. Ino poured half a pound of knockout drops down his throat, and while he was unconscious, she went to find Ashura again, at the same time pulling the Yang-Kurama into the chat group. They would study this matter together.
"The Flying Thunder God Technique? What's that?" Ashura was clueless.
The Yang-Kurama crossed his arms. "You want me to actively cooperate and let this idiot Naruto learn Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God? Are you kidding me? How is that possible?"
These two were not exactly human. One was a remnant of chakra, the other half a Tailed Beast. Ino wasn't worried about them leaking the secrets of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Who could they leak it to? The Fourth Raikage? So she explained the entire principle and training method of the jutsu in detail.
After she finished, Ashura and the Yang-Kurama shook their heads in perfect unison.
"Still don't understand."
"Same here."
"..."
Ino had no choice but to water down her teaching plan again and again.
"Big Bro Ashura, Kurama, what do you think of this..."
Ashura didn't notice that a certain person's form of address for him had slowly changed from the initial "Sage" to "Senpai" and now directly to "Big Bro."
Ashura was well aware of the intelligence level of his current incarnation and listened with great curiosity.
