Naruto: Random Flying Thunder God Technique? Intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

This relationship is more than that of true brothers.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room of the Minato family, Xiao began, "Good brother Minato, you..."

"As for the Flying Thunder God Technique, I haven't made any progress yet."

Minato shrugged and answered before Shiranui Sho could finish speaking.

Xiao's expression stiffened slightly: "You could predict that?"

"Why would you bring me breakfast so early in the morning? What else could it be?" Minato Namikaze rubbed his golden hair.

"What do you mean by 'no progress'?"

Minato Namikaze honestly replied, "I'm stuck on the first step."

"The first step, you mean sensing the Flying Thunder God Technique formula?" Shiranui Sou nodded knowingly.

Indeed, perceiving the Flying Thunder God Technique requires spatial awareness, which is a fundamental requirement.

No matter how hard someone puts in, they will never get started if they don't have a natural talent for spatial perception.

Even if someone has a natural talent for spatial awareness, it takes time to develop it.

However, Minato Namikaze scratched his head sheepishly and said, "No, I mean I'm stuck on the step of inscribing the Flying Thunder God Technique formula."

"Huh?" Shiranui Xiao looked up at the other person in disbelief.

Inscribing the Flying Thunder God technique formula is actually the step in the Flying Thunder God technique that has the least connection with "space".

This step is completed simply by inscribing the formula with precise chakra control.

It's possible that genin or chunin might be unable to depict the techniques due to insufficient chakra control.

How could a Jonin like Minato not be able to draw a jutsu?

"Actually, it's like this..."

Minato Namikaze suddenly got up with great interest and used the Body Flicker Technique to make a round trip between the living room and the bedroom.

When he returned to Shiranui Sho, he was holding an astonishingly thick stack of drawings.

"...What is this?"

Shiranui Sho frowned slightly, suddenly realizing something.

Minato Namikaze, having shaken off his listlessness when he opened the door, placed a stack of drawings on the table and dragged Sho Shiranui over to take a look.

"I think the design of the Flying Thunder God Technique by the Second Hokage reflects the style of the Warring States period."

This style possesses a sense of historical weight, but lacks the vibrancy of a new era, and no longer aligns with the spirit of our generation.

Minato Namikaze pointed to the pattern design created by the Second Hokage, which was based on a circular shape, and said seriously.

Shiranui Xiao's lips twitched: "You can even see the style and historical weight of the Warring States period in this?"

To him, it looked like a circle with some runes added on it.

"In short, I've been exploring new techniques these past two days and have made these drafts, but I feel like something's missing," Minato Namikaze said, scratching his head in distress.

Shiranui Sho sighed.

After all, he's the kind of guy who comes up with fancy move names, so it's understandable that he has a particular insistence on this.

He snatched the pen from Minato's hand and, without thinking, began to write and draw on the blank space of the white paper, creating a collection of characters with a rather elegant style.

"This...this is!?"

Minato, who was sitting to the side, now had a glint in his eyes and pressed his hands hard on the coffee table where the drawings were placed.

He gazed at the seemingly natural yet profoundly meaningful characters, and recited them one by one with utmost sincerity: "The Sword of Forbearance and Love!"

He turned around, put his hands on Xiao's shoulders, and said admiringly, "Xiao! You're simply a genius! How come I never noticed you had such talent before!?"

"The sword of 'patience and love' represents patience and restraint, love and emotion, and can also be interpreted as the determination to protect loved ones and things through the way of the ninja!"

A kunai engraved with this technique will be a ninja sword that contains deep and passionate love and emotion, and that must endure and fight to protect that love!

"Xiao! You're simply a master of ninja art!!"

"...If you say so, then it is."

Shiranui Sho rubbed her ears, which were a little disturbed by the noise.

After the initial surprise, Minato's expression suddenly returned to calm, and he solemnly presented the drawing to Shiranui Sho with both hands.

“Xiao, you must really like this technique, and I can’t take away what someone else likes, so…”

"I don't particularly like it!"

Seeing Minato Namikaze's reluctant expression, Sho Shiranui felt overwhelmed and quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"Minato, I've encountered some problems while training for the Flying Thunder God Technique, and I'd like to discuss them with you."

"problem?"

When it came to serious matters, Minato glanced at the "Sword of Love and Resentment" one last time with lingering reluctance before straightening up with a serious expression.

"I successfully activated the Flying Thunder God Technique yesterday, but there were some deviations in the result of this technique."

"You actually learned it on the second day after receiving the cultivation method? Xiao, you really are a genius!"

Minato Namikaze smiled brightly, his eyes showing no jealousy or resentment at being a step behind, only genuine joy for his friend.

However, upon hearing that a deviation had occurred, he worriedly asked, "I heard from Jiraiya-sensei that there are certain dangers in the learning process of the Flying Thunder God Technique. What exactly are these deviations?"

"My space landing point will deviate from the position of the Flying Thunder God's spell, and go to another place where the spell is clearly not left. Only when I activate the spell for the second time can I land accurately.

Moreover, this deviation always seems to occur in strange places like the bottom of the bed…

Shiranui Sou briefly described the problem.

Feeling that such a problem couldn't be clearly explained with words alone, he simply got up and smeared a mark on the wall of the Minato family's house in front of him, leaving behind a spell that reflected the style of the Warring States period and a profound sense of history.

"I'll give it a try, you watch."

Under Minato's hesitant gaze, Shiranui Sou instantly transformed into a streak of black light and vanished from the spot.

Minato looked up at the wall in front of him, and sure enough, Xiao was not there.

And then I was just saying, it will appear under the bed?

Under the bed!? Oh no!

Realizing something was amiss, Minato Namikaze used a Body Flicker Technique to appear in his bedroom, crouched down, and peered under the bed. Seeing that there was no one there and only a few stacks of "treasured books," he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, another problem that followed prompted him to ponder.

Where did my good brother Shiranui Xiao go?

……

"What am I supposed to do with this?"

Lying on the deck, feeling the rolling waves around her and hearing the gentle sea breeze, Shiranui Sho fell into deep thought.

Chapter 11 Random Time Travel! On the High Seas!

Moonlight spilled onto the rolling waves, making the vast ocean resemble a silver ribbon swaying in the wind.

"..."

Shiranui Sou lay blankly on the deck of a giant ship. Compared to the enormous hull, he was as insignificant as a sesame seed on a plate.

The sea breeze carried a salty, fishy smell, making him question the meaning of life.

"Is the scent of the sea from the east or the south of the Land of Fire?"

Shiranui Sho remembered that the Land of Fire only had its eastern border, which faced the Land of Oz across the sea, and its southern border, which was close to the sea.

But whether it's the east or the south, since it's by the sea, it's still quite far from Konoha.

He then considered the worst-case scenario and gasped, "Could it be that I've been transported to the Land of Water?"

Even according to the ninja's pace, it would take quite a while to return to Konoha from the Land of Water.

After all, crossing the ocean requires taking a ship, but transportation in that era could not be considered advanced.

He clearly hadn't considered that the location might be much farther away than he imagined.

"Deviating from the Minato family's residence to the open sea, isn't this Flying Thunder God technique a bit excessive?"

Shiranui Sho sighed in distress, her dark eyes scanning her surroundings warily, her gaze calm.

Big, very big.

He also has considerable experience carrying out missions on the coast and at sea, and even escorting merchant ships from the Land of Fire on several occasions.

Of all the ships he had ever seen, he would call this the largest!

However, this put his mind at ease.

There are indeed some wandering ninjas at sea who form groups to carry out plundering, but the quality of these wandering ninjas varies greatly, and there are few powerful ninjas with the strength of Jonin or above.

The owner of such a giant ship could not possibly be a pirate; it must belong to either a major power or a wealthy businessman.

The above conclusions are based on speculation about the situation in the ninja world.

A seasoned ninja, with his extensive combat experience, first checked the supplies and weapons he was carrying before deciding on his next move.

He had no sword, ten shurikens, two explosive tags, and five ration pills...

The ninja tool pouch contains roughly these items.

Today he was only visiting the Minato family, not heading to the battlefield or on a mission, so he didn't have enough supplies with him.

However, the problem shouldn't be too big?

Shiranui Sho then realized that she had changed a lot in just three days and no longer needed to travel on foot like before.

He can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to come here, and of course he can use it to go back.

However, just as he was about to sense the Flying Thunder God Mark left by the Minato family and return to Konoha, he heard conversations approaching from afar.

"Ok?"

Shiranui Sho raised an eyebrow and subconsciously looked in the direction the sound came from, towards the walkway outside the cabin not far away.

The moment he heard the words clearly, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

……

Five minutes ago.

Inside the cabin, a brown-haired man with an exaggeratedly high bun hairstyle, dressed in a chef's uniform, was sitting at the table examining a small box on the table.

The box was open, and inside was a strangely shaped, dark purple fruit.

dong dong dong-

The sound of knocking echoed through the wooden door, accompanied by a warm, honest voice calling out.

"Captain Sachi! Are you asleep?"

“That voice…”

Sachi snapped out of his daze, carefully closed the box, got up, and quickly went to the door to open it.

Standing outside the door was a burly man with a lot of body hair, grinning with his teeth showing, his large teeth missing.

“Teach, what brings you here so late?” Sachi raised an eyebrow.

But before the other person could answer, he laughed and said, "Hey, you're not hungry again and want to eat cherry pie late at night, are you? You need to watch your weight!"

As he spoke, Sachi reached out and patted the large belly.

"Captain Sachi's cherry pie was so delicious! We shared it with everyone during the day and still didn't get enough!"

Teach chuckled and scratched his head. He wasn't annoyed by Sachi patting his stomach and teasing him; instead, he looked at Sachi with admiration.

"I just can't do anything with you..."

Sachi shrugged helplessly, but as the ship's head chef, he was quite pleased with the compliment on his culinary skills, and the corners of his mouth turned up considerably.

"Come on, let's go to the kitchen now, but you'll have to wash the plates and utensils later, Teach!"

Sachi stepped out of the room, then turned around and closed the door, casually giving some instructions.
