Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 358 Nami (leaning back tactically) What is a forbidden technique master?

"Don't be so happy yet. Didn't I say before? This Book of Seals might not be real. If I were the Hokage of Konoha, I would definitely write a fake Book of Seals. No matter how you practice it, you'll die anyway. Let the person who stole the Book of Seals go to their own death." Robin stroked her chin and said in a very sinister tone.

"Hey, don't scare me like that," Bane said, pretending to be a little scared.

"Isn't this normal logical thinking?" Robin said, pursing his lips.

Having spent so many years navigating the dark world, what kind of shady thoughts hasn't she seen?

However, Nami clearly didn't care at all, confidently stating, "No problem. I'll know whether this Book of Seals is real or fake as soon as I try it!"

"You think it's like touching an electric shock switch? You can tell if it's electrified just by touching it," Bane couldn't help but retort.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Bane was stunned. Huh? Nami makes a good point. She's not afraid of death. As an immortal bird, even if the Book of Seals really has a pitfall, like Robin said, where you die as soon as you start practicing it, it doesn't seem to matter to Nami.

No matter how much she trains, she just won't die.

The others also realized what was happening and looked at Nami with expectant eyes.

"Now you know how important I am, huh?" Nami said smugly, hands on her hips.

"Based on my current research, I'm inclined to believe this Book of Seals is genuine." Bane stroked his chin and said, "If it were a fake, there would be no need to describe the Impure World Reincarnation and Reaper Death Seal techniques in such detail, including the Second Hokage's ideas and the Uzumaki clan's secrets. When making a fake, you don't need to add these elements, do you?"

"But for safety reasons, let Nami practice first." Robin nodded, then said, "If she can successfully master the Eight Gates, it will further prove the authenticity of this Book of Seals. We can then delve deeper later; after all, a little time won't make a difference."

After discussing it for a while, the group decided to let Nami try it out first.

However, despite this, everyone soon continued reading the rest of the Book of Seals.

Then the "Mutual Explosion Tags Technique" was revealed. This technique was clearly marked as being developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, a master of forbidden techniques.

And its purpose is very clear: it is used in conjunction with the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and can be considered a technique similar to a human bomb.

Overall, the technique of multiplying explosive tags is not complicated or difficult to learn. Generally, as long as you have mastered the techniques of summoning and explosive tags, you can easily learn it. There are two main difficulties. First, because this technique is too fast, if you make a slight mistake when activating it, you are likely to be blown up along with the caster. Therefore, it is best to use it in conjunction with the Impure World Reincarnation technique, so that an immortal body can perform it.

This danger is also the reason why it is listed as a forbidden technique.

But for someone like Nami, it really doesn't matter. If you think about it carefully, all the dangerous forbidden techniques in this Book of Seals seem to be tailor-made for Nami.

It wasn't just the Eight Gates Formation that was effective against her.

She can use all these techniques that involve risking life and death without regard to the cost.

"Who knows, Nami might really be the biggest winner this time. Is the famous 'Forbidden Technique Ninja' about to take off right before our eyes?" Bane said with some emotion.

The others nodded in agreement. In the world of One Piece, the Phoenix Fruit might not be considered unremarkable, but it always felt like something was missing. However, when paired with these terrifying forbidden techniques, it suddenly became quite outstanding.

"A forbidden ninja? A master of forbidden techniques? Sounds pretty good, hahaha, perfect for me!" Nami was thoroughly enjoying herself, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Aside from the possibility of blowing yourself up, another difficulty with the technique of multiplying explosive tags is that it requires a large number of explosive tags to work together. These things can't just appear out of thin air. Even with spirit communication, you need to have some basic preparations first.

Explosive tags are a hot commodity in the ninja world. They are not particularly expensive, but they are not cheap either. If you stockpile a large number of them, the amount of money required will be enormous. Thinking about it this way, this technique is definitely a money-burning technique.

For the super-rich only!

"Theoretically speaking, the most terrifying thing about this technique is that it has almost no upper limit. The more explosive tags you have, the greater the power. It can be stacked without limit," Zoro commented as he looked at the technique.

"Limited by wealth, but luckily Bane is very rich," Robin remarked.

"No, using money always has its limitations. This technique needs to be combined with another technique to truly unleash its terrifying effect," Bane said in a somber tone.

"Impure World Reincarnation?" Fubuki asked casually.

"It's not Edo Tensei, but the Paper Release technique," Bane said softly.

Konan, one of the current leaders of Akatsuki, is a perfect match for this Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags technique, thanks to her Paper Release technique.

She was able to produce 600 billion explosive tags using the Paper Release technique, and even disguise them as the ocean to hunt down Obito Uchiha.

Unfortunately, she failed. In the end, Obito used Kamui to escape the terrifying explosion, but he was indeed seriously injured.

Because of these 600 billion detonating tags, it can be said that the vast majority of them exploded at the same time, although some continued for a short period of time.

In Bane's view, she was just a little bit short of success, and that "little bit" was actually the difference in the technique of multiplying explosive tags.

If Konan had mastered the technique of multiplying explosive tags, Obito Uchiha would probably have been blown to dust, leaving not even a trace.

Think about it, how long could 600 billion explosive tags, triggered by the Multiplicative Explosive Tags Technique, last? Probably not even a day. Let alone Kamui, even if Obito could use Kamui ten or a hundred times in a row, it would be useless.

"Nami, you can set a goal for now: acquire the Paper Release technique to complement this terrifying, almost limitless, multiplicative explosive tag technique," Bane said.

"No problem. After I've mastered the Eight Gates Formation, I'll go find this secret technique." Nami nodded immediately, looking forward to it.

After that, Bane and the others continued to study some more forbidden techniques.

The Four Symbols Seal and the Inner Four Symbols Seal are all recorded inside.

Overall, there weren't many techniques that impressed Bane. In the end, the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was developed by the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju but perfected and elevated to a higher level by the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, was still the most impressive.

The Flying Thunder God Technique occupies a large portion of this Book of Seals.

It is not just a single technique; through the research and development of two generations of Hokage, it has formed a complete system of ninjutsu.

"It's truly effortless. I never expected that the most important space-time ninjutsu would be in this Book of Seals. It saves me a lot of trouble later," Bane said with some emotion as he looked at the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In his memory, the Flying Thunder God Technique was not listed as a forbidden technique, but he did not expect to see it in the Book of Seals.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

And it's a complete series.

After carefully reading the relevant description, Bane finally understood why this technique was listed as a forbidden technique.

It's still related to space and time. Techniques like summoning spirits involve summoning spirit beasts, while the Flying Thunder God requires the caster to "enter" space and time. This is the most dangerous part. If you're not careful, you could easily kill yourself. For example, your upper body might appear in one place and your lower body in another, and you could be cut in two. How would you survive that?

If he doesn't die, then cutting him into a few more pieces wouldn't be a bad idea.

Therefore, in the relevant introductions and descriptions, the Flying Thunder God Technique requires extremely strong talent in space-time ninjutsu. From the time Tobirama Senju developed this technique until the appearance of the Fourth Hokage, during this period, not a single person in the vast ninja village of Konoha had enough talent to practice the Flying Thunder God Technique!

After the Fourth Hokage passed away, the Flying Thunder God Technique was considered "lost." Only the three guards of Minato Namikaze could barely perform the Flying Thunder Formation Technique when they joined forces. This technique is also recorded in the Scroll of Seals. It is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be able to pass it on, but once you arrive at your destination, you may end up in a mess.

The complete system of Flying Thunder God Technique includes Flying Thunder God Slash, Flying Thunder God Second Stage, Flying Thunder God Mutual Instant Spin, Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roaring Style, as well as a bunch of bizarre moves with very awkward and cringeworthy names, Flying Thunder God Sealing Technique, and the Flying Thunder Array Technique mentioned earlier.

As you can tell from the names, the first three series of ninjutsu were invented and researched by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. The names are very serious and formal.

The subsequent tongue-twisting names were all come from Minato Namikaze, that chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) guy. They're so fancy and obscure that you can't understand the concept of the technique just by looking at the names.

I don't know if he did it on purpose or accidentally?

What Bane took slightly more seriously was the Flying Thunder God Sealing Technique developed by Minato Namikaze. As far as he remembered, Minato Namikaze had used this technique to seal the dragon vein in a certain movie, which was a super-massive energy.

Whether it's energy or the sealing of spacetime properties, it's clearly related to the interdimensional portal, which is why Bane values ​​it.

"To master this technique, one must possess a talent that is extremely sensitive to the properties of space and time. In that case, I should be able to do it, right?" Bane muttered to himself.

The others who heard this also thought it made a lot of sense.

When it comes to sensitivity to spacetime properties, Bane can travel through worlds at will. Is there anyone more talented than him? Especially since he has a spacetime portal within his body, his talent is simply off the charts.

It doesn't make sense that someone who can open the door to travel between worlds can't master the Flying Thunder God Technique, right?

"Same as always, Nami will practice first. After we confirm the authenticity of this Book of Seals, I'll personally try out the Flying Thunder God Technique. Who knows, this technique might also be helpful for the Pure Land?" Bane said to everyone.

He has traveled to the Pure Land twice so far, but in reality, he has not mastered any way to actively travel to the Pure Land.

He possesses the aura of the Pure Land, which can serve as a 'coordinate,' but he cannot open the door to the Pure Land. Perhaps, once he masters the Flying Thunder God Technique, it will yield unexpected results?

With the power of the Spirit Transformation Secret Technique, the Death God's Finger, and the Soul-Soul Fruit, if he could also open the Gate to the Pure Land and actively travel between the Pure Land and the mortal world, he might really be able to unlock the secrets of the Pure Land and obtain unimaginable rich rewards!

"If Orochimaru were here, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble. With his knowledge and understanding, he could tell at a glance whether it's true or false," Robin said with a touch of emotion.

Hearing this, Bane laughed and said, "That's true, but if nothing unexpected happens, Orochimaru should already be on his way to find me."

He personally witnessed Hiruzen Sarutobi sever Orochimaru's arms with the Reaper Death Seal. If Orochimaru wasn't out of his mind, he would have come to him, the Spirit Lord, first in that situation!

As for the forbidden techniques in the Book of Seals being exposed to Orochimaru, will it bring any risks?

Bane felt there was no need to worry about these things. As he said before, he and Orochimaru were not on the same track at all, and there was no irreconcilable conflict or difference in their philosophies.

Regardless of whether the Book of Seals has such power, even if Orochimaru really mastered a large number of forbidden techniques, greatly increased his strength, became more dangerous, and turned the ninja world upside down, what does that have to do with him, a Spirit Venerable who was cultivating in seclusion in Ryuchi Cave?

Anyway, it's not me who's being harmed.
