"Why hasn't Kazekaze come back yet?" Hashirama waited on the tatami for half a day, but Kazekaze still hadn't returned. For a moment, he couldn't help but worry about where Kazekaze might have gone. He glanced at Tsunade, then simply picked her up. "Little Tsuna, shall we go find your brother?" Hashirama smiled indulgently. Seeing that Tsunade didn't object, he went out to look for Kazekaze.
Logically speaking, with Kazekaze's strength, Hashirama wasn't worried. Besides, Kazekaze was at the age where he liked to run around outside. However, Kazekaze's last reaction made Hashirama feel something was off.
Meanwhile, at the training ground, Tobirama looked at Kazekaze with a dark expression. For some reason, the harder he tried, the stronger the sense of defeat he felt from Kazekaze. What he had just used wasn't the Body Flicker Technique. It was the Flying Thunder God Technique! It's a space-time ninjutsu that allows movement by pre-marking a location. It's not something that can be compared to the Body Flicker Technique.
However, Kazekaze didn't even have his eyes shining, pestering him to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. He was simply expressionless. As if the Flying Thunder God Technique wasn't anything impressive. For a moment, Tobirama was at a loss for words.
"Listen carefully, Kazekaze. The Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu. It achieves instant movement using a formula. As long as the Flying Thunder God formula is left on a target in advance, it allows the user and anything in contact with their Chakra to move instantly. This technique can be used for offense, to shorten the distance of ninjutsu, to confuse and ambush opponents, and also for evasion and escape in critical situations. The most crucial point is that using the Flying Thunder God Technique doesn't require hand seals!"
Tobirama further explained to Kazekaze how powerful his Flying Thunder God Technique was. He felt that although Kazekaze was only seven years old this year, his mind was much sharper than his peers. Not to mention his comprehension and analytical skills. In other words, as long as he demonstrated and explained it, with Kazekaze's mind, he would surely understand the Flying Thunder God Technique. How remarkable it is. What an incredible ninjutsu!
Unlike the Body Flicker Technique. The Body Flicker Technique only uses Chakra for high-speed movement. And the movement range is not only small, but it can only be to a location chosen by the ninja. But the Flying Thunder God Technique is different. When in contact with a target, you can leave a formula on them. No matter where the opponent hides, once the Flying Thunder God Technique is activated, you can instantly move to their side and take them out before they can react.
To help Kazekaze understand better, Tobirama formed hand seals and used the Shadow Clone Technique.
Bang! With a loud noise, a cloud of white smoke appeared beside Tobirama, slowly dispersing around. Another Tobirama appeared in front of Kazekaze. Then, Tobirama patted the shoulder of the shadow clone. The next second, Tobirama's shadow clone used the Body Flicker Technique to retreat eight zhang away.
"Watch closely, Kazekaze."
Tobirama guided Kazekaze's gaze to notice the formula on the shadow clone's shoulder. Immediately, Tobirama activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was standing behind his shadow clone, holding a kunai to its neck.
Bang! Another cloud of white smoke. Tobirama's shadow clone disappeared.
"Did you understand, Kazekaze? This is the most powerful aspect of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Once the formula is left on you, no one can escape!"
Tobirama raised his voice and walked back from eight zhang away. Now, Kazekaze, you should know how remarkable the ninjutsu I developed is, right? Back then, I relied on this ninjutsu to take down Madara's brother, Izuna! And! This Flying Thunder God Technique isn't even a forbidden jutsu!
However, Kazekaze still showed little change in expression. The look of shock or admiration Tobirama wanted was nowhere to be seen. Kazekaze was really just standing there. As if he felt nothing at all. This feeling made Tobirama's sense of defeat even more severe. Could it be that Kazekaze didn't understand what he meant? But he had explained it very clearly. Even a slow-reacting ninja like Danzo could understand. Wasn't Kazekaze always a genius?
Tobirama looked at Kazekaze with a dark expression. Right now, he really didn't know what to say.
Kazekaze was equally frustrated inside. It's not that he looked down on the Flying Thunder God Technique. On the contrary, Kazekaze thought the Flying Thunder God Technique was not only strong but also cool. He had even thought of his own nickname. It would be... Konoha's Black Flash Wood Release Frenzy. It's just that Tobirama's words came at a really inopportune time. He had already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. And he had already been excited about it in the yard. He really had nothing to be excited about anymore.
Secondly, Kazekaze felt a bit troubled. If he directly told Tobirama that he had already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, he feared it might break Tobirama's spirit. After all, he was his second granduncle, and Kazekaze wanted to give him some face. After all, he not only had a kind soul but also a gentle heart.
"Sigh."
But there's no choice; some things have to be faced sooner or later. They have to be experienced eventually.
"Granduncle Tobirama, it's really not that I want it this way... But, I've already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique..."
Kazekaze took a deep breath and said in a very soft voice. He really didn't want to dampen Tobirama's spirits any further!
As a result, Tobirama's eyes widened instantly, his jaw almost dropping to the ground in shock. What? What did he say? What did Kazekaze just say? He? Learned the Flying Thunder God Technique? He must be joking, right? He didn't remember ever teaching Kazekaze the Flying Thunder God Technique. And he hadn't used this ninjutsu in front of Kazekaze either, right? Most importantly, this ninjutsu, across the entire ninja world, only he could perform it. Even his big brother Hashirama couldn't. So Kazekaze couldn't have learned the Flying Thunder God Technique from anyone else!
"Kazekaze, you must be misunderstanding the Flying Thunder God Technique. I'll say it again, the Flying Thunder God Technique is not the Body Flicker Technique!"
Tobirama spoke firmly, unwilling to acknowledge the fact that Kazekaze had already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. Yes. He, Tobirama, absolutely would not acknowledge it! This was his life's work, his most proud ninjutsu. Even if Kazekaze was like a monster, he couldn't have learned the Flying Thunder God Technique just by looking at it once, right? This is an S-rank ninjutsu! Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
Seeing Tobirama's expression, unwilling to face reality, Kazekaze could only sigh, take out the kunai Tobirama had given him from his ninja tool pouch, and throw it. The next second, Kazekaze activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, caught the kunai, and turned back to ask Tobirama, "Isn't this the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
