Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 71 The Cultivation of Flying Thunder God

However, Akali didn't care about Feng Hua Xiaoxue's opinion.

It doesn't matter whether Feng Hua Xiaoxue likes her or not, because they will all come to like her in the end anyway.

Furthermore, for a hedgehog like Feng Hua Xiaoxue, who is immersed in a state of resignation, appropriate stimulation is more likely to leave an impression.

Akali happened to have accepted a mission from the Snow Kingdom, and she was quite keen to cultivate a good relationship with this princess of the wind and clouds, as she might be able to use her in the future.

After what could be described as a minor conflict, Fuuka Koyuki naturally couldn't escape and was reluctantly taken back to the set by Akali.

After getting to know the crew members, the ship bound for the Snow Country set sail.

What followed was a rather long journey, and the members of Class 8 prepared to return to their respective rooms to get used to being on the ship.

But seeing that it was still early, Akali went to Hinata and asked her for help.

"Huh? Help? Akali, what are you going to do?" Hinata asked, puzzled.

"That's right, I happen to be at sea right now, and I want to learn a technique!"

"Techniques?" Hinata was even more puzzled: "What kind of techniques can one learn on the high seas?"

"You'll see when you come with me," Akali said, pulling Hinata out the door.

Seeing this, the others followed out of curiosity.

Akali, carrying Hinata, went to the deck at the stern of the ship and handed her a kunai covered in runes with a long rope tied to its hilt.

"This is……"

Hinata looked at the incantation on the kunai. Her family's teachings and her attentive listening at school made her recognize a part of it; it was a summoning spell.

But why are the incantations for spirit communication inscribed on kunai?

Hinata didn't quite understand.

However, if Hinata had spent a few more days in Hyuga, she might have understood.

Because what is inscribed on the kunai is not a spell for spirit communication, but a spell for reverse spirit communication!

And this is the tool Akali used to train her Flying Thunder God technique!

After all, the so-called Flying Thunder God, while mysterious, is actually just a profound application based on reverse spirit communication.

However, Flying Thunder God cannot be simply summarized by the three words "reverse summoning".

In the Flying Thunder God scroll sent by Danzo, the Flying Thunder God is divided into two stages.

The first stage requires a long period of preparation before one can use the reverse summoning technique of the kunai to perform the initial stage of Flying Thunder God teleportation.

At this stage, a Flying Thunder God teleportation requires four steps: sensing the kunai, activating the spell from the other side, the spell reacting to oneself, and moving oneself.

The second stage, like Minato Namikaze and Tobirama Senju, involves grasping a spark of inspiration during countless reverse summoning attempts. Without needing to activate the reverse summoning technique on a kunai, one can teleport using the kunai's positioning.

In this situation, a single Flying Thunder God teleportation only involves two steps: sensing the kunai and moving oneself, making it incredibly fast.

However, Akali is not yet at stage two; she hasn't even entered the door yet.

The entry standard is also very simple: perform a Flying Thunder God Kunai movement during the Flying Thunder God Kunai movement, then precisely control your landing point to be near the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and then grab the Flying Thunder God Kunai!

Therefore, what Akali wanted Hinata to help her with was quite simple.

"Hinata, listen to me. First, do this, then do this, understand?"

"Okay, sure!" Hinata nodded in response to Akali's words, ready to cooperate.

Then, surrounded by Kurenai, Shino, and some members of the Princess of Wind and Cloud crew, Hinata stood at the stern of the ship, tied part of the rope to the railing, and then held Akali's special Flying Thunder God Kunai in her right hand.

Akali stood beside Hinata, her hands forming a hand seal, her eyes closed, fully releasing her senses.

After ensuring that the Flying Thunder God Kunai was as clearly visible to her as a torch in the dead of night, Akali nodded to Hinata.

"Then, I'll begin!"

Hinata nodded and forcefully threw the kunai with her right hand!

At an upward angle, the kunai flew towards the sky behind the ship, carrying the pre-installed rope with it as it flew out quickly.

At the same time, Akali activated the spell, and the pull of the reverse psychic connection came through. Following this feeling, Akali suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The next second, Akali appeared upside down in the sky behind the ship!

Akali, who had just appeared, instinctively reached out to grab the kunai that she perceived as being very close, but was surprised to find that the kunai was right next to her feet.

Clearly, at this distance, it cannot be considered a success.

Akali then abandoned the attempt, twisted her waist in mid-air to regain her balance, and finally landed lightly on the water.

The runes that allow her to walk on water activated automatically, and the surging seawater seemed to possess power, supporting Akali.

Akali used a few leaps and tree-stomping techniques to return to the ship.

"Wow, what a nimble move!"

From the ordinary crowd nearby, cheers erupted; they thought Akali was performing some kind of acrobatics.

However, seeing Akali's sudden disappearance and reappearance, Kurenai Yuhi, who had lived through that era, clearly thought of something.

While Hinata was retrieving the Flying Thunder God Kunai with the rope, Kurenai Yuhi arrived beside Akali.

With a hint of shock, Kurenai asked, "Akali, are you training for the Flying Thunder God Technique?!"

"Yes, Teacher Hong, you actually noticed?"

"Of course, how could I not see it..."

Kurenai Yuhi smiled wryly. They were all from that era. When Minato Namikaze recruited the Shadow Guard, she had also applied. Although she had never tried the Flying Thunder God Technique training, she had heard others talk about it.

So Kurenai asked, somewhat puzzled, "That kind of error you just made... didn't you try the water test method first?"

"I've tried! My talent isn't ideal."

Akali replied.

The so-called water test method is a way to test whether a person has the talent to cultivate the Flying Thunder God technique.

After all, the principle of Flying Thunder God is simple to explain, but it is actually very difficult to achieve. And the difficulty here is not just about the difficulty of going from the first stage to the second stage, or finding that spark of inspiration; those are secondary.

Because most people get stuck on the first step, which is how to maintain their posture after a Flying Thunder God teleportation!

For the first stage of Flying Thunder God, traversing space is achieved through the technique itself.

But once you leave this space, whether you're standing, sitting, or lying down, whether you appear above, below, to the left, right, front, or back of the Flying Thunder God kunai, is all under your control.

Most people do not have the talent for spatial awareness. When they arrive at their destination, they do not know which way is up or which way is down, so they can only go by chance.

But such randomness is clearly not acceptable.

Because if it were on flat ground, a person using the Flying Thunder God technique could accidentally teleport directly into the ground, causing great damage to themselves.

Thus, the water test method came into being.

Since flat ground causes damage, why not use a pool of water?

Find a pond, place a Flying Thunder God kunai in the center of the pond, and then activate the Flying Thunder God. In those dozen or so attempts, if you can successfully control yourself to appear on the pond head up and feet down, then it means that this person has the talent of the Flying Thunder God.

Unfortunately, Akali tried ten times, and seven of them ended with her falling headfirst into the water.

"Then why..."

Kurenai Yuhi didn't understand.

For high-difficulty techniques like Flying Thunder God, effort is useless; only talent matters.

If you don't have the talent, you should leave immediately. With Akali's intelligence, why waste time here?

Of course, Kurenai probably never imagined that there would be such an overpowered character as Akali in the world, requiring only a basic understanding, and the rest is just:

"System, let me see your limits, add some points!" That's all.

Therefore, Akali couldn't explain, "I was just trying it out; I didn't necessarily have to master it. The Flying Thunder God Technique gave me some inspiration for other techniques."

"Is that so..." Kurenai Yuhi remained noncommittal.

As for inspiration, she saw it all as just Akali's excuse.

It's understandable that Akali, who is used to being a genius, would be skeptical when she encounters such an insurmountable obstacle for the first time.

Thinking of this, Kurenai felt much more at ease: "As expected, Akali is just a 12-year-old brat!"

"It seems that I, as a teacher, am not entirely ineffective!"

Kurenai had made up her mind. Since there was nothing to do during this mission, she would let Akali practice on her own first. When Akali hit a wall, got hurt, and broke down, then Kurenai, her teacher, would come out to comfort her!

Then Akali, that not-at-all-cute brat, won't be able to keep calling me "red" anymore!

The thought of a genius like Akali crying and begging for comfort in her arms made Kurenai Yuhi feel a little excited!
