Chapter 116 Flying Thunder God Technique! (12,000 words, please subscribe for the full chapter)

Starting from May 24th, Hoshino Shuichi also sent shadow clones over to Tsunade's side, while his main body focused on mastering the Chidori Body Flicker Technique, using intense training to adapt his body to the equally intense activation of lightning release cells.

At the same time, he also integrated the Chidori Instantaneous Movement technique into his usual combat system to further enhance his combat power.

July arrived in the blink of an eye, and the Chunin Exams were upon us again.

Might Guy, Obito Uchiha, Kurenai Yuhi, and others participate in the Chunin Exams again.

However, this time Hoshino Shuichi did not become an examiner.

On Tsunade's side, there was the development of medical ninjutsu, the learning of talismans and seals, the learning of space-time ninjutsu, the training of Earth Release, the analysis of natural energy techniques, and the training of Chidori Instantaneous Movement.

I'm so busy every day that my feet barely touch the ground.

……

In a clearing near the Forest of Death, Hoshino Shuichi, his body crackling with electricity, was clashing with Uchiha Shisui.

At this moment, the two are competing in the art of teleportation.

A beam of light moved at high speed, sometimes bursting with a roar, and the speed of the light's movement immediately increased dramatically.

A figure flickered and appeared and disappeared unpredictably, its afterimages splitting into numerous fragments.

The two chased each other, and for a time they were evenly matched.

Uchiha Shisui was shocked that Hoshino Shuichi could use the Body Flicker Technique of three systems simultaneously, while Hoshino Shuichi was surprised by the changes that the three-tomoe Sharingan brought to Uchiha Shisui.

Hoshita Shuichi originally thought he had surpassed Uchiha Shisui in Body Flicker Technique, but it was clear that he wasn't the only one who had been improving; Uchiha Shisui had as well.

He has a cheat code; Uchiha Shisui has the Sharingan.

No wonder he's famous throughout the ninja world for his Body Flicker Technique!

Hoshino Hiroichi secretly praised him.

After a brief exchange, the two stopped and smiled at each other.

Uchiha Shisui laughed, "Shuichi, with you as my companion, I can't afford to slack off for even a moment!"

Hoshita Shuichi proudly declared, "That's what a true friend is!"

Uchiha Shisui nodded in deep agreement, then asked, "So, Shuichi, how's your genjutsu training going?"

Hoshino Hideichi said cryptically, "Come and test it out in a while, Shisui. It should satisfy you."

"Alright, it's settled then!"

After saying that, Uchiha Shisui's body split open and transformed into a flock of crows that flapped their wings and flew away.

Hoshita Hideaki paused for a moment, then smiled: "As expected of Shisui!"

He had no idea that Uchiha Shisui was using the Crow Clone Technique.

The crows flew away, and under the stars, Xiu Yi sat down on the ground, his eyes lowered.

Beneath the tree of entries, Hoshino Shuichi's figure appeared.

Unlock the [Instant Transmission Expert]!

With a thought, the words on the tree instantly turned green.

Instantaneous Movement Technique talent increased by 100%, Cell Activation increased by 100%, and any Instantaneous Movement Technique can be performed without hand seals.

The moment the effect of the entry took hold, Hoshino Hideki's entire body felt as if it were being electrocuted, even his brain felt like it was covered in snowflakes, and his thoughts and consciousness had a kind of light-like sensation, which instantly traveled through every cell of his body.

Once he returned to normal, Hoshino Shuichi immediately noticed the difference in his body.

Cell activation!

Unlike the temporary activation of cells through lightning techniques, which requires long-term training to gradually improve, this method is different.

In that short period of time, the activation level of his body's cells increased by 1% compared to before the effect of the debuff took effect!

Of course, it's not as effective as Lightning Release: Body Flicker.

The Chidori Shunshin technique has now activated the cells in both arms and legs to an astonishing tenfold.

The problem is that the entries create a fixed effect.

Since Hoshino Shuichi began training in Chidori Shunshin in May, he has been constantly activating his body's cells with Lightning Release. The permanent improvement in his arms and legs, which are the main parts of his training, is probably only 1%, and it will definitely become more and more difficult to improve them as time goes on.

Feeling the vibrant energy coursing through his body, Hoshino Shuichi exclaimed with delight, "This feels amazing!"

"This feeling is truly captivating!"

Get up and stretch your body; the Star Show begins its test.

Cell activation not only improved his body's reaction speed in various aspects, but also further unleashed his physical potential, resulting in a significant increase in physical strength.

and……

"My Yang Release technique seems to have become even stronger..."

After repeated attempts, Hoshino Shizuka finally confirmed that it was not an illusion.

"My vitality has become stronger."

Shuichi Hoshino thought of Asuka.

"Therefore, this kind of cell activation is different from the activation of lightning-induced cells."

Hoshino Shuichi repeatedly compared the changes in himself before and after.

"Lightning Release activates cells, and long-term training can also permanently activate the body to some extent, but this effect is too weak, so I didn't feel much of a difference."

"But the Raikage lineage has a strong physique and an astonishing amount of chakra. Besides their innate talent, the Lightning Release Chakra Mode may also play a role."

"After all, cell activation can be described as an increase in cell activity, and cell activity is an increase in the energy of cell life movement, which means that the vitality becomes vigorous and full of energy."

"Interstitial cells are particularly dangerous..."

Thinking about Hoshino Shuichi, a very frightening conclusion inevitably came to mind.

The Lightning Release Chakra Mode's short-term high activation of all the body's cells may actually not be as effective as Hashirama Senju's normal state.

Of course, this is also due to the Lightning Release technique, which enhances reaction speed.

It can only be said that he was indeed worthy of being the First Hokage who could go toe-to-toe with Madara Uchiha with Sharingan in his normal state!

"Therefore, the most crucial element of Hashirama Senju's healing without hand seals is probably these highly activated cells."

Hoshino Shuichi pondered to himself, "Because of the high level of activation, cells will regenerate and even divide on their own once damaged. This is instinct, or rather, the subconscious of the human body, and does not require conscious control at all."

"However, it is also very likely that it is impossible to control it actively."

"Unless one can freely control the activation level of their own cells."

"The difficulty in transplanting interstitial cells probably lies here: when interstitial cells encounter vitality, they will frantically devour and then divide continuously, which is something that ordinary people simply cannot withstand."

Hoshita Shuichi made many speculations, then thought to himself, "It seems I need to access the experimental data on Hashirama cells."

Tsunade has it, but although she has gained some experience from the Hashirama cell experiments, she is very cautious.

Therefore, Hoshino Shuichi has not been contacted yet.

Looking at the data on stalk cells might verify his hypothesis.

However, Orochimaru was the first to study Hashirama cells.

I wonder if Yamato has been released yet...

Collecting his thoughts, Hoshinoichi returned to the Flying Thunder God Technique, which he cared about most.

He now has two choices: directly cultivate the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Secondly, use this year's "flash of inspiration" to develop a space-time ninjutsu and take down the [Space-Time Messenger] first.

You could even take down the [Ninja Technique Doctor] first, stack up the stackable talents, and then train.

but.

Shuichi Hoshino didn't want to wait any longer.

A multi-pronged approach!

Once you master the Flying Thunder God Technique, you can plant wards all over the world and feel completely safe.

"That's decided..."

Shuichi Hoshino made a decision.

And coincidentally, Minato Namikaze was at home these past two days.

……

The following day, Hoshishita Shuichi did not send a shadow clone to his teacher Minato Namikaze's house to study the Reaper Death Seal; instead, his main body came.

So when they saw Hoshino Shuichi, both Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were somewhat surprised.

"Looks like today is a little different!"

Kushina Uzumaki said in a slightly quirky tone.

Minato Namikaze, who seemed to know everything, laughed and said, "It seems Shuichi, you're about to formally begin training in the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"It's much later than I expected!"

Kushina Uzumaki chuckled after hearing this, "Minato, I remember you probably started learning this technique around Shuichi's age, right?"

Minato Namikaze nodded, a look of reminiscence on his face, and said, "Yes, after that incident, I received a reward from the Third Hokage and chose this technique."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Shizuka's heart skipped a beat, and he guessed that it was most likely about the matter of saving Uzumaki Kushina.

"Shuichi, wait a moment."

Minato Namikaze turned and went into the room, then quickly came out with a scroll and handed it to Shuichi Hoshishita: "Hey, this is the scroll for the Flying Thunder God Technique that I prepared long ago."

"It took me two years to succeed in my training. Shuichi, your talent is even greater, you'll definitely be faster than me!"

Hoshino Hideichi took the scroll and smiled, "Thank you, teacher. I will try my best to surpass you and be a little faster than you."

"Hahaha……"

Kushina Uzumaki laughed and put her arm around Shuichi Hoshishita's shoulder, saying, "That's how it should be!"

"Come on, Shuichi!"

"I believe you can surpass Watergate!"

Minato Namikaze stood to the side, smiling gently.

After chatting for a while, Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "Alright, let's start training, Hideaki!"

"I happen to have two days of vacation left. Do you have any questions I can answer?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded and immediately opened the reel.

Kushina Uzumaki also went to the side to continue her research on sealing techniques; she didn't want to be left too far behind!

Meanwhile, Hoshino Shuichi had already begun to concentrate on reading the contents of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Soon, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "No wonder even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't learn this ninjutsu. It's indeed quite difficult."

Among space-time ninjutsu, summoning jutsu is arguably the most basic and simple.

Even someone like Might Guy, who has no talent for ninjutsu, can learn it.

Next is the sealing scroll technique, which, because it is combined with sealing techniques, increases the difficulty to level B.

In addition, there is a B-grade summoning talisman, which is actually a combination of summoning magic and sealing scrolls, refined into a single talisman.

Next up is the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags, which was also created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. It is an A-rank space-time ninjutsu with extremely high difficulty.

When Hoshino Shuichi was practicing these four techniques, he clearly felt that the difficulty was gradually increasing while the basic elements were being added.

Spiritualism can be considered the foundation of the other three spells.

In particular, the technique of multiplying explosive tags involves infinitely summoning explosive tags for targeted, infinite explosions. Summoning, or necromancy, is the most basic of all techniques.

At this moment, when Hoshino Hideichi saw the most basic content of Flying Thunder God, he was even more glad that he had mastered the Summoning Technique, Sealing Scroll, Summoning Talisman, and Mutual Multiplication Explosion Talisman step by step.

Because he laid the foundation, the difficulty of getting started was greatly reduced.

If you don't have any prior knowledge, you'll be completely clueless.

And now.

Hmm... it's not that difficult!

In principle, the most basic Flying Thunder God Technique, or its essence, is a space-time ninjutsu in which the user teleports instantly by connecting with their own chakra. It is also classified as the Body Flicker Technique.

The so-called connection of one's own chakra means that the user's chakra is in B's body, and if they sense it, they can instantly teleport there.

However, due to the special nature of chakra, it is inevitable that it needs to be sealed in order to preserve it for a long time, which led to the Flying Thunder God Technique.

If you leave the Flying Thunder God Technique seal on a kunai, you can instantly teleport to the location of the kunai, provided that you can sense your own chakra within the Flying Thunder God Technique seal on the kunai.

Of course, it can be anywhere else besides kunai, such as on rocks, trees, etc.

Secondly, one can leave the Flying Thunder God Technique formula on the target person, and upon sensing it, instantly teleport to the target person's side.

From this basic principle alone, Hoshino Shuichi saw the shadows of spirit summoning and reverse spirit summoning.

Of course, the difficulty is much, much higher.

Summoning jutsu establishes a connection between two parties through a summoning scroll, which contains both parties' chakra marks and blood marks.

Thus, through spirit communication and reverse spirit communication, both parties can summon each other across extremely distant time and space.

Summoning and reverse summoning are methods of summoning each other by utilizing the connection between their chakra and bloodline.

The current Flying Thunder God technique involves using one's own chakra senses to travel to the location of one's own chakra.

That can also be understood as summoning (sending) oneself to one's own chakra mark!

Alternatively, one could sense a chakra formula, activate the formula, and summon oneself to the location of the formula!

Hoshino Shuichi's eyes flashed, his mind racing: "If we don't consider actual combat, the biggest difficulty with the Flying Thunder God Technique lies in the Flying Thunder God Technique formula and the ability to sense things."

"The Flying Thunder God Technique is the key to whether or not one can teleport, and if one cannot sense the technique, one cannot activate it."

"Once these two points are resolved, the Flying Thunder God Technique will no longer be a problem."

"However, if you want to apply this in actual combat, you need exceptional reflexes and spatial awareness to avoid teleporting and getting yourself killed."

After all, if you leave the spell on the enemy, you can teleport there and be behind them, to their left or right, or in front of them, right in the middle of their knife.

Having read the principles of the Flying Thunder God Technique and the annotations left by Minato Namikaze, Hoshino-shita Shuichi understood it perfectly.

Next is the technique for the Flying Thunder God Technique.

This technique is not the same as the few words written by Minato Namikaze Kunashiri, but rather the most primitive and complex technique composed of talismans.

"As expected, it possesses sealing techniques..."

Hoshino Shuichi immediately recognized that to master this technique, one must have a foundation in sealing techniques or a high aptitude for them.

Minato Namikaze may not have mastered sealing techniques back then, but his talent in this area is undeniable!

"Although I didn't get the 'Sealing Master' title, I'm still quite talented in that area."

Hoshino Shuichi has a lot of confidence.

Both Kushina Uzumaki and her teacher Minato Namikaze rated his talent in sealing techniques as no less than that of his teacher Minato.

In terms of perception, he mastered the art of listening, received the talent enhancement from the "Perception Expert" attribute, and also improved his mental will.

"So, the next step is to master this complex technique..."

The Star Show was all set to begin.

Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze smiled and asked, "Shuichi, how's it going? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Hoshino Hideichi looked up and smiled, "Not yet. There are no difficulties in understanding the principles. Although this technique is complicated, I haven't encountered any difficulties yet, given my mastery of sealing techniques and experience in making summoning scrolls."

Minato Namikaze smiled and nodded, "I was right, Shuichi, your talent in this area is outstanding."

"Well then, good luck!"

After saying that, Minato Namikaze thought to himself, "Judging from this situation, Shuichi probably won't have mastered this technique for more than a year and a half."

"It might even be less, after all, he has a very high level of sealing skills and can make his own summoning scrolls."

"But that makes it really something to look forward to!"
