Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 21 Flying Thunder God Inheritance

"You've all heard of my fighting style; it's very difficult to keep up with me."

In the training ground in the forest, Minato's shadow clone looked at the two people in front of him and calmly stated the facts.

"Even in the entire ninja world, there are very few who can keep up with me when I fight at full strength."

"Therefore, after discussing with my advisors, I made adjustments to the selection process for the guards."

Minato's shadow clone raised his hand and extended two fingers.

"First, a ninja may not be physically strong, but they must possess several talents: excellent reflexes, precise chakra manipulation skills, and most importantly, spatial awareness!"

"The second one is..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, but couldn't get any expectant expressions from the two expressionless people in front of him, which made him feel a little helpless.

Why does it feel like there are two more Kakashis?

The pill wasn't like this before; it seems like it was changed after Yu defeated it.

Although he seemed calm, he was quite upset that no one was there to help him.

Shaking his head, Minato decided to drop the idea of ​​lightening the mood and said, "The second requirement is merit—merit that allows me to learn this forbidden technique from you—the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Hinata Yu took a deep breath, and even though he had expected it, his eyes still burned with intensity.

The Flying Thunder God Technique was a ninjutsu that made one virtually invincible in the early stages of Naruto!

He had considered obtaining it through Orochimaru's channels, but the latter did not know this S-rank ninjutsu. To get it, Orochimaru would have to look at the Book of Sealing, which would leave a flaw.

Therefore, he chose to obtain it through Minato's channels, which was one of the reasons he was promoted to Jonin.

Minato needs the support of some ninja clans so that his orders can be carried out better. The Hyuga clan, which has just experienced turmoil, is a good choice, and the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is the best candidate for a bodyguard.

With these two factors combined, he was very confident in becoming the Hokage's bodyguard.

And there are many advantages to this.

Having a lineage of teachings is always better than figuring things out on your own.

Just like how Naruto and Kabuto would have had a hard time learning Sage Mode without its inheritance.

Minato, the only ninja in the world today to have mastered and improved the Flying Thunder God Technique, is the best teacher.

Originally, Minato did teach Genma and the others the Flying Thunder God Technique, but the three of them did not fully master it.

With this thought, Yu calmed down.

Whether you can learn it or not is still uncertain, there's no need to get excited.

If you only learn a half-finished product like Genma and the others, you'll have wasted this opportunity.

Seeing the change in their expressions, especially Uchiha Yakumaru's barely suppressed excitement, Minato's shadow clone smiled faintly and asked:

"Yu, it seems you've never exchanged your battlefield merits for any ninjutsu?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama, because there is no need."

The boy's indifferent answer made Minato frown. Remembering the conservative nature of the Hyuga main family, Hyuga Yu indeed couldn't learn any ninjutsu. His tone became even gentler.

"Then your achievements are enough."

"You've captured spies in the village before, and you've also accumulated some merits from the security missions around the village. That's enough."

S-rank ninjutsu represents the difficulty of training, not the difficulty of acquiring it.

The strategic value of the Flying Thunder God Technique, in particular, made the village eager for more people to learn it.

The merit requirement is just a basic screening criterion.

Although as Hokage, Minato could directly teach the Flying Thunder God Technique to the two, it was already preordained, so it would be somewhat inappropriate to teach them S-rank ninjutsu without any further conditions.

Minato's shadow clone took out two scrolls from his pocket and handed them to the two men.

"This is a scroll recording the key points and insights for learning the Flying Thunder God Technique. Destroy it after reading and do not distribute it outside the sect."

"yes!"

Hyuga Yu and Uchiha Yakumaru responded and took the book to read it.

Hinata Yu was astonished by the detailed records inside after only one glance.

No wonder no one except the fourth generation of the Shadow Guards has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. Having such detailed learning experience is completely different from figuring it out on your own.

This is the core legacy of Minato!

"Among the necessary talents for learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, spatial perception may be something you don't possess."

"But this can actually be cultivated later in life."

"Today, my shadow clone will guide you through several Flying Thunder God Techniques, allowing you to personally experience spatial changes. There will be intervals between each demonstration, giving you ample time to savor the experience."

Minato's shadow clone said seriously, "From now on, come here to train every morning at five o'clock. When the time is right, I will use the Flying Thunder God Technique to constantly move around you."

"You can't use your eye techniques to observe during this stage. I won't be very fast. You'll pass when you can predict where I'll appear before I actually do. Carefully record this process."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I will answer them for you before I disappear. Once this stage is completed, we will officially begin the Flying Thunder God training."

"yes!"

Uchiha Yakumaru glanced at Hyuga Yu, then focused on studying.

Having the Sharingan, I can't be worse than you at learning ninjutsu!

……

The Flying Thunder God Technique is one of the forbidden techniques created by the Second Hokage.

Unlike the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which is forbidden because it is too dangerous and evil, it is extremely difficult to master.

Even with the guidance of the Fourth Hokage's shadow clones and the development of his spatial perception talent, Hyuga Yu still had no clue how to use it.

However, he was mentally prepared for this, but Hinata Yu was completely unprepared for the person who would appear at the training ground a few days later.

"It's not good for a 15-year-old boy to always have a heavy expression like Kakashi. It's better to enjoy your free time like Jiraiya-sensei."

"Of course, don't pick up his bad habits!"

The woman in front of Hinata Yu had long, thick red hair, a characteristic of the Uzumaki clan.

Konoha currently only has one Uzumaki clan member, the wife of the Fourth Hokage, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki—Uzumaki Kushina.

"Kushina, don't disturb Yu. He's training the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Minato's shadow clone said with a headache.

"Huh? He's also your student, right?"

Kushina turned around and asked, "You just want him to be as indifferent as Kakashi?"

"Kushina, Yu is used to it since he was a child. He's different from Kakashi. You don't need to worry about him," Minato said with a wry smile.

"No, I'm going to intervene. I understand Kakashi's situation, but what kind of future is this?"

"As my teacher's wife, it's not appropriate for me to manage Kakashi for the time being, but I'll try my best to correct this second Kakashi no matter what."

Kushina waved her hand and looked at Hinata Yu.

"Your name is Yu, right? What's your favorite thing?"

"read."

Kushina frowned slightly and shook her head. "No, that's too boring. What's your second favorite?"

"Cultivation."

"..."

Kushina narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Hyuga Yu.

Hinata Hagu's expression remained calm.
