The Hand of God Creates the Strongest Hidden Mist Village

Chapter 182 Could it be that he also wants to learn all the arts under heaven?

Minato Namikaze's understanding of the Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed extraordinary.

Not only was it the second stage of Flying Thunder God, but the various Flying Thunder God techniques he used during their fight also dazzled Makoto Karatachi.

What are those Sky-Splitting Light Slash, Spiral Sky-Splitting Light Extreme Sharp Flash, Sky-Soaring Swallow Dance Light Instant Shadow Residual Zero Style?

Aside from the name being truly unappealing, their mastery of the Flying Thunder God technique can only be described as superb!

That's actually quite normal.

After all, the Third Shinobi World War is nearing its end. According to the original storyline, after the war, Minato Namikaze would take office as the Fourth Hokage and then die in the Nine-Tails' attack.

As the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze had to handle political affairs during the day and create Naruto at night, so his combat power increased very little. Therefore, the Minato at this stage is only half a Yin Nine-Tails away from the Minato of the future Fourth Shinobi World War.

Perhaps it was because the power of Makoto Karatachi's complete Susanoo was too great, and Iwagakure was too concerned about it, that Iwagakure had not launched any further attacks in the past few days, and Makoto Karatachi's life had become increasingly comfortable.

During the day, he would go around exchanging secret techniques, drinking and eating meat with Mangetsu, chatting and joking with the pretty girls of Konoha, and occasionally provoking Minato Namikaze to have a spar.

Well, actually, it's just using others as sparring partners to familiarize themselves with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The people of Konoha have gone from being wary and hostile towards him to taking it for granted, and some young ninjas have even started to greet him proactively.

After all, Makoto Karatachi's strength is undeniable, and most importantly, he has a friendly and approachable personality, which has left a great impression on the younger generation of Konoha ninjas.

Look at your Hokage's assistant, the current acting Hokage, he always has a gloomy face, his complexion is as black as the bottom of a pot.

Look at Cheng Ge again, he's a sunny and cheerful young man!

There's no need for comparison; the superiority is immediately apparent.

That evening, Makoto Kuraki was sitting on a rock at the edge of the camp, holding a thousand books in his hand, studying them carefully.

"Brother Cheng, what are you looking at?"

Hozuki Mangetsu leaned closer and asked curiously.

"The coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Flying... Flying Thunder God?!"

Hozuki Mangetsu was greatly shocked and immediately realized that Makoto Karatachi had used the Hand of God to replicate the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"So you're currently creating special coordinates?"

"That's right, I plan to put all the markings on these thousand books."

Goji Makoto brought a senbon tree close to his eyes and examined it carefully in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Unlike the kunai, which resembles a short sword.

The needles are as fine as hair, and their silvery-white surfaces are as smooth as mirrors, with almost no flaws.

This weapon was originally a tool commonly used by medical ninjas or assassins; it is lightweight, concealed, easy to carry, and unlikely to arouse suspicion.

But if you were to engrave the Flying Thunder God's mark on it—

Gouju Cheng's lips curled into a smile.

The core of the Flying Thunder God Technique lies in its coordinates. When the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, invented this technique, he used a specially made kunai with complex inscriptions. Minato Namikaze inherited this tradition and simplified the inscriptions to the four characters "Sword of Shinobi Love".

But I really don't want to use bitter herbs.

Kunai are too big and too conspicuous; everyone will know you're going to use space-time ninjutsu when you throw them. Furthermore, the trajectory of a kunai is easy to predict; a skilled fighter can easily knock it away before it hits the ground.

A thousand copies would be different.

These thousands of senbon needles are tiny, almost invisible to the naked eye, fly silently, and can be thrown in large quantities. What would it mean if hundreds or thousands of senbon needles bearing the Flying Thunder God mark were scattered in a single battle?

This means that the entire battlefield, every corner, will become Makoto Goji's teleportation coordinates.

It is everywhere and pervasive.

This is the true terror of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Makoto, your idea—is way too insidious." Hozuki Mangetsu couldn't help but shudder after watching Makoto's demonstration. "The Senbon needles are already hard to defend against, and you've added teleportation marks to them. If a fight breaks out, who can beat you?"

"Plus your existing space-time ninjutsu and Mangekyou Sharingan—"

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

Gouju Cheng chuckled and continued to carve marks onto the thousand books.

His chakra control was already extremely strong, and with the precise assistance of his Sharingan, it wasn't difficult for him to inscribe the Flying Thunder God mark on tiny objects like senbon needles. The only problem was the sheer number of needles; it would require time and patience.

"By the way, Full Moon, how much do you know about the throwing techniques for Senbon?"

"It's alright." Mangetsu scratched his head. "Although our Hozuki clan specializes in water-style techniques, we still know basic throwing techniques. However, when it comes to delicate tasks like throwing senbon needles, I'm not as good as Yuki."

"Snow?"

The image of Mizuki Yuki's cool and aloof face appeared in Koji Makoto's mind.

The Snow Clan's Ice Release bloodline, when used in conjunction with Senbon needles, can indeed unleash astonishing power. Ice Release Senbon needles are not only fast but also have a freezing effect, slowing down the enemy's movements upon impact.

"When we get back, I'll have Xue teach me."

Gouju was making plans in his heart.

Inscribing the Flying Thunder God mark onto the senbon needles is only the first step. How to throw these needles most effectively, and how to form a comprehensive coordinate network in battle, all require specialized skills and training.

However, the Flying Thunder God Technique involves three core elements: marking spatial coordinates, perception, and jumping. Although Makoto Kuraki copied the technique, he still needs a lot of practice and understanding to truly master it.

at the same time.

Inside the Hokage's camp.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the main seat, puffing on his pipe.

Danzo, Orochimaru, Shikaku Nara, and Minato Namikaze—the core decision-makers of Konoha were all present.

-

Everyone looked rather pale.

"You mean, Makoto Karatachi has already copied the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"good."

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "In the sparring session two days ago, he demonstrated the Flying Thunder God Technique."

A brief silence fell over the tent.

Flying Thunder God Technique.

That is a space-time ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, known as the "God-Speed ​​Technique," and is one of the most core forbidden techniques of Konoha.

Even within Konoha, very few people are qualified to learn this technique. Minato Namikaze was the most outstanding inheritor, and he earned the formidable title of "Yellow Flash" during the Third Shinobi World War using this technique.

Now, this technique has fallen into the hands of a Hidden Mist ninja.

"Not only that."

Nara Shikaku, who was standing to the side, slowly spoke up: "From what I've observed, Makoto Karatachi has been producing a large quantity of a special kind of senbon these past few days. I've secretly checked it, and those senbon have special chakra markings attached to them, and their function is extremely similar to the coordinate kunai of Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique."

"He wants to inscribe the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique on a thousand scrolls?"

Orochimaru said with surprise, "Interesting—the Senbon needles are small and concealed, and can be thrown in large numbers. If he succeeds, the entire battlefield will become his teleportation domain."

"That's exactly what I'm worried about."

Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice, "Karagi Makoto has already mastered Kamui, possessing near-invincible defense and unpredictable attack methods. If he were to also master the mobility of the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would be a highly mobile force on his own, perhaps even more terrifying!"

Kamui's immunity to damage and ability to escape into another dimension, combined with the terrifying destructive power of Susanoo, have given Makoto Karatachi the ability to be invincible on the front lines.

If you add to that the Flying Thunder God's unpredictable and terrifying teleportation capabilities—

Not to mention, that guy even copied a pair of the legendary Immortal Eyes!

"If it were just about copying these techniques, that would be one thing. The most crucial point is that he gave up Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan." Danzo's gaze swept over everyone as he slowly spoke: "Fugaku is dead. Once he gave up those Mangekyou Sharingan, he could never have them again."

"That guy—he has a restless spirit."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was standing to the side, slowly spoke up.

Without a spirit of striving upwards and the will to forge ahead, no matter how strong a person is, there will eventually be a day when they are surpassed!

But Makoto Koji didn't stop there.

Silence fell again in the tent.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words struck the hearts of everyone present like a stone.

Yes, Makoto Kuraki already possesses power sufficient to crush the vast majority of Kage-level powerhouses.

The Mangekyou Sharingan, Rinnegan, Kamui, Susanoo—any one of these powers would be enough to make a ninja one of the top in the ninja world.

But Gouju Cheng embodies all of them.

But he was still not satisfied.

He even gave up his Mangekyou Sharingan! That was the Mangekyou Sharingan, a power capable of pacifying a chaotic world, yet he simply abandoned such a power.

Just to make room to replicate more techniques.

Flying Thunder God Technique, Shadow Imitation, Mind Transfer, Multiply—in the past few days, he has been "exchanging" techniques all over the Konoha camp, copying almost every secret technique he could come across.

What exactly is this guy trying to do?

Orochimaru, standing to the side, had a bright and alert look in his eyes, his mind reeling.

His childhood dream was to learn all the techniques in the entire ninja world, but only when people grow up can they understand how naive their childhood dreams were, and how vast the world is and how insignificant they are.

Even for a ninja of his caliber, the techniques he has learned are but a drop in the ocean compared to the entire world.

To learn all the skills in the world is a dream that is almost impossible to achieve—but perhaps that is precisely why it can be called a dream.

Could it be that Makoto Karatachi, that guy, also has the same dream as him?

The silence inside the tent lasted for a long time.

The pipe in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand flickered, and through the swirling smoke, his wrinkled face remained expressionless. But those who knew him well knew that when the Hokage fell into this state of deep thought, it often meant he was weighing extremely important decisions.

"Danzo, what do you think?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke, his voice hoarse.

Danzo's one exposed eye narrowed slightly, and his bandaged right arm moved subconsciously.

"Gouju Cheng is a man of great ambition and extraordinary courage. Given time, he will surely become a great threat."

"But now, he is our ally."

Hiruzen Sarutobi emphasized this point.

"ally?"

Danzo scoffed, "Hiruzen, when did you become so naive? He's paid to do things, and we pay to avoid trouble. It's a business deal, not a matter of friendship. Once he realizes we can't give him what he wants, or if Iwagakure offers a higher price, he'll turn his guns on us without hesitation."

"So, what's your brilliant idea?"

"While he's still on our territory, let's concentrate our forces and take him down in one fell swoop." Danzo's voice was as cold as iron. "No matter how strong he is, he's still just one person!"

"one person?"

Orochimaru scoffed, "But he alone swept through our entire Kazama Kawadani force!"

"That was then!"

Danzo's eyes turned cold.

He also bears undeniable responsibility for the defeat at Kazama Valley, after all, he was one of the commanders at the time.

After that war ended, Danzo kept thinking about what power and what technique he should use to defeat that guy.

Kamui, space-time ninjutsu.

We still have the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rinnegan!

Even so, Danzo did not give up. Through his continuous search, he actually found a technique that could defeat that guy!

Given the chance, he will definitely succeed.

"And Lord Danzo," Orochimaru continued slowly, "Makoto Karatachi is currently our biggest trump card against Iwagakure. Without him, who will stop Onoki's next attack? You?"

"Don't forget, we just paid out 500 million taels."

"you!"

"Alright." Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand to stop the two from arguing. "The most urgent task now is to defeat Iwagakure and end the war. We can talk about the rest later."

He looked at Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, you've had the most contact with Makoto Karatachi, what do you think of him?"

Minato Namikaze remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "This person—is unfathomable."

"It's not just about strength," he added. "His intellect, skill, and courage far surpass those of ordinary people. His decision to give up Fugaku's kaleidoscope, seemingly risky, was actually well-thought-out. He knew very well that while the kaleidoscope was powerful, it wasn't irreplaceable. What he wanted was more, stronger, and more comprehensive power."

"His ambition and decisiveness are what make him most terrifying."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly.

Minato's analysis was similar to what he had thought.

"Shikaku, what's your opinion?"

Nara Shikaku pondered for a moment, organizing his thoughts.

"Karagi Makoto is a man who cannot be judged by ordinary standards. His actions seem casual, but every step he takes is actually meaningful. He came to Konoha on the surface to be employed by the daimyo and help fight against Iwagakure. But I always feel that he has a deeper purpose."

"What's the purpose?"

"I don't know." Lu Jiu shook his head: "But I noticed that he has been walking around the camp these past few days and has come into contact with quite a few people."

Not only secret ninja families, but also some ordinary ninjas, and even support staff. He seemed to be gathering information, learning about every aspect of Konoha.

"That's normal." Someone said dismissively, "It's his first time at the Konoha camp, so it's only natural that he gets to know the environment."

"I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Shikaku did not refute, but the seriousness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"In any case, Makoto Karatachi is now our most important ally. We will try our best to meet his demands and cooperate with his actions. But at the same time—"

His gaze swept over everyone present.

"Strengthen vigilance, especially in the core areas. His every move must be under my control."

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.
