Chapter 52 Increase Investment, Favoritism
"I don't know, he just learned the Flying Thunder God Technique a few days ago."
Orochimaru shook his head and told a little lie.
The news that he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique on his very first day back in Konoha was truly astonishing.
You can have a talent for spatial awareness, but you can't overdo it, otherwise everyone will notice something's wrong.
If it weren't for what was to come and the difficulty in detecting the Crystal Telescope technique, Orochimaru wouldn't have even wanted to tell Hiruzen Sarutobi so quickly.
"That child, Ye, truly possesses a talent for spatial manipulation."
Hiruzen Sarutobi calmed himself down, sat down, lit his pipe, and cheerfully puffed out smoke. He smiled at Orochimaru and said, "Now that he has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, let's not waste its strategic deterrent power. Take him out on more missions and let the Flying Thunder God Technique flourish everywhere."
"If war breaks out, he will be our Konoha's secret weapon."
"I know that, that's what I think too," Orochimaru said. "However, Yoru's weakness is also very obvious. He doesn't have lightning chakra. I'm going to teach him lightning nature transformation next."
"Are you planning to help him increase his resistance to illusions?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was a ninjutsu professor, instantly understood Orochimaru's plan.
"Yes, I would like to request permission to borrow the Thunder God's Sword," Orochimaru nodded.
"The Rasengan that the child developed is more suitable for the Flying Thunder God Technique than the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Slash. It's a pity that his chakra reserves are far inferior to those of the Senju clan, and he doesn't have the water attribute."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was filled with regret, then he exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Lightning Release can indeed enhance resistance to genjutsu, but to deal with genjutsu ninjas, you can't just defend blindly. Sometimes, taking the initiative is the best defense."
"Sarutobi-sensei, you mean..." Orochimaru immediately realized something.
"Besides the Thunder God's Sword, I allow you to replicate a separate scroll of the Illusion Technique: Dark Travel Technique." Hiruzen Sarutobi began to increase his investment.
This favoritism is also fully manifested at this moment.
As the disciple of the most outstanding disciple, the one who bound the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and also the second person in Konoha to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, Gojo Yoru's status in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart is now much higher than that of Minato Namikaze in the original story.
If conditions allowed, he would love to train Gojo Yoru, whose hair color was the same as Tobirama-sensei's, into a new generation of Tobirama Senju.
Unfortunately, Gojo Yoru was not a member of the Senju clan, so he did not have a large amount of chakra or the water attribute.
Otherwise, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have wanted to pass on the Second Hokage's Water Release techniques to him.
"Then I'll thank you in advance, Sarutobi-sensei, on behalf of Yoru."
With his guess confirmed, Orochimaru smiled with delight.
Illusion Technique: Dark Travel Technique. This is a forbidden-level illusion technique; even Orochimaru doesn't know this technique.
It's not that he can't learn it, but that if he wants to learn this skill, he needs to complete tasks and exchange merit points for it.
As for Gojo Yoru, he only completed an S-rank mission and was able to obtain the training method for this technique.
As a teacher, Orochimaru also benefited from his disciple's influence.
The fact that the independent scroll was replicated means that Orochimaru can also learn the illusion technique, Dark Travel Technique.
"Orochimaru, nurture this child well; he will become your greatest asset," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a meaningful smile.
Orochimaru's expression hardened, and he nodded vigorously: "I understand, Sarutobi-sensei."
……
sizzle...
Click, click...
"Hahaha……"
The sounds of electric currents colliding, camera shutters clicking, and a girl's hearty laughter echoed through the abandoned training ground.
The one who burst into laughter was naturally Kushina Uzumaki.
It's no wonder the girl was laughing so happily; the scene before her was rather unflattering.
Gojo Yoru, who usually has a cool demeanor, now has an afro, with his short white hair covering his ears.
Although his body, which was surrounded by electric current, was not covered with charred marks, and he endured the pain on his face without showing any signs of suffering, he was very determined.
But that afro hairstyle actually tickled Kushina's funny bone.
This is definitely a dark chapter in Gojo Yoru's life, and Kushina Uzumaki had to film it and keep it safe.
Even if Gojo Yoru cast a warning glance at her and she would face malicious retaliation afterward, Kushina Uzumaki didn't care at all.
"Feel the current flowing through your meridians, and try to assimilate it with your chakra."
Orochimaru, who was using the Thunder God Sword to strike Gojo Yoru, spoke up to warn him.
Gojo Yoru could only let Kushina Uzumaki go for the time being, closed his eyes, and did as Orochimaru had instructed.
On his first attempt at drawing electricity into his body, Gojo realized that as long as the right method was found, cultivating changes in one's physical nature was not actually a difficult thing.
This is a further step in chakra control.
Just like medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques, it requires controlling non-attribute chakra and transforming it into other attributes.
Unlike medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques, which require talent, nature transformation only requires finding the right method and diligently practicing, just like climbing a tree or walking on water.
However, mastering this skill is only the beginning. To become a master of this attribute, one still needs talent and time to hone their skills.
The Third Raikage is the pinnacle of this path, the ultimate achievement below the Otsutsuki clan.
"Okay, let's take a break."
Because the meridians could not withstand prolonged electric shocks, Orochimaru timed it precisely, stopping after three minutes.
"Tomato Girl, prepare to die!"
Instead of sitting down to rest and receive treatment, Gojo Yoru rushed towards Uzumaki Kushina.
Kushina Uzumaki didn't run away. Instead, she put away her camera and threw a powerful jumping punch.
boom--
The loud explosion and the powerful earthquake made Orochimaru's lips twitch, and his eyes were filled with pity as he looked at Gojo Yoru.
As if she had noticed something, Gojo Yoru dodged Kushina Uzumaki's jumping punch in time.
The fist missed its target and struck the ground squarely.
The terrifying chakra blasted a huge crater in the ground, and cracks of varying sizes rose up, stirring up dust and spreading in all directions.
This punch was... a superhuman strength punch.
Just as the Rasengan is the most suitable ninjutsu for the Uzumaki and Senju clans, Chakra Burst, as a secret technique of the Senju clan, can only be quickly mastered and its maximum power unleashed by Chakra Burst.
"Tomato Girl, are you trying to kill me?!"
Looking at the ground shattered by a single punch, Gojo Yoru felt a rare sense of lingering fear.
"Hmph... Scared now? If you anger me again, I'll send you to the emergency room with one punch." Kushina Uzumaki raised her fist, looking smug.
If he hadn't wanted to hide his strength, Gojo Yoru would have used Hollowfication to teach Uzumaki Kushina a lesson.
However, he felt a sense of relief.
As she grew rapidly, the girl also worked hard to become stronger.
Starting with her superhuman strength punch, Kushina Uzumaki only lacked the unique abilities and sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, as well as Sage Mode and the Rasengan. With these, she would have been able to face the Nine-Tails, steal its chakra, and activate her golden body mode.
