Chapter 19 Exorcising Inner Demons, Transformation
bang bang bang...
As the sound of heavy objects being struck continued, a visually striking scene unfolded before the eyes of all the students and teachers, leaving them speechless with shock.
Minato Namikaze, who had just been blasted away by Gojo Yoru's punch, was hit by three Gojo Yorus in succession, like a ball, before his body even hit the ground.
If these three Gojo Yoru were his main body and shadow clones, it wouldn't be so shocking.
But then, just as one Gojo Yoru knocked Minato Namikaze away, another Gojo Yoru rushed forward at an even faster speed and knocked him away again.
Moreover, Gojo Yoru rushed past not at a speed invisible to the naked eye, but at a speed only faster than Minato Namikaze flying backward, passing directly through Minato Namikaze's body.
While being tossed around like a football, Minato Namikaze did try to counterattack.
However, the result of the counterattack was just like Gojo Yoru passing through his body; everything passed right through Gojo Yoru's body.
Each of the five nights is like a phantom clone without a physical form, yet it could become a real entity at any moment.
Such a technique was something that even Yuya, who had already become a Chunin, and the medical ninja had never seen before, let alone these students with limited knowledge.
They were quite certain that Gojou Yoru's two clones were merely the most basic illusory clones.
As for why the phantom clones don't dissipate when attacked, and why they can transform into physical forms?
They can't understand it, nor can they comprehend it.
However, seeing that Gojo Yoru was not giving Namikaze Minato a chance to land, and that the latter had already put on the Pain Mask, and that Gojo Yoru had leaped into the air and assumed a downward split stance, Yuya instantly woke up and quickly rushed over to catch Namikaze Minato, shouting to Gojo Yoru: "The battle is over, the outcome is decided."
Upon hearing this, both the five Yoru in the air and the one on the ground immediately turned into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared.
"Sorry, I got carried away with the fight just now. Are you alright?" Gojo Yoru's true form walked over and apologized for his behavior, which was quite rare for him.
"...I'm fine."
With Yuya helping him straighten up, Minato Namikaze, enduring the excruciating pain, shook his head at Yoru Gojo and sincerely said, "I lost, Yoru-kun. Your technique was incredibly powerful."
"Your Wind Release is also very strong. If I hadn't already mastered Earth Release, I might have been instantly killed by you." Gojo Yoru revealed a smile that was hard for his classmates to imagine, then raised his hand and held up two fingers towards Namikaze Minato, saying with a smile, "Thank you for your guidance."
Thank you for your guidance.
Minato Namikaze also extended his finger and formed a reconciliation seal with Yoru Gojo.
I don't know if it's just my imagination...
Minato Namikaze felt that Yoru Gojo seemed to have changed slightly compared to before the battle began.
Is it because of the smile?
Minato Namikaze would never know that from this moment on, he would no longer be Gojo Yoru's imagined enemy, nor the inner demon that had suffocated Gojo Yoru over the years.
Both are overpowered characters, but those defeated by him will not be given another chance to catch up or surpass him.
The changes in Gojo Yoru are a transformation after overcoming her inner demons.
From now on, Gojo Yoru will no longer have wild thoughts, nor will she need to perform every day.
He can take off all his masks and start living for himself as he pleases.
His talent, his strength, his cheat code... will get him everything he wants!
Minato Namikaze was naturally unaware of these things.
After forming a reconciliation seal with Gojo Yoru, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yoru-kun, may I ask if you're so bold as to ask, are your two clones shadow clones? How do you manage to switch between their physical forms and illusions?"
Upon hearing this, all eyes in the room focused on Gojo Yoru.
Gojo Yoru merely curled the corners of his lips and said arrogantly, "That's not a shadow clone, but something I developed myself... the Phantom Body Flicker Technique."
"Phantom Body Instantaneous Movement?"
Everyone remembered the name of this technique.
After a moment of contemplation, Yuya and the medical ninja suddenly changed their expressions: "Body Flicker Technique, it's just a Body Flicker Technique?!"
Minato Namikaze realized this too, staring at Yoru Gojo with disbelief: "But why don't your phantom clones dissipate after being attacked?"
Gojo smiled without saying a word, then turned and left.
Seeing this, Kushina Uzumaki, who had also finished her exam, quickly followed, leaving behind a group of teachers and students who were still in a daze and shocked.
On the way, Kushina Uzumaki asked with equal curiosity, "Yoru, was that technique you just used really just a regular clone technique and a body-flicker technique?"
"If you want to know, then work hard to become stronger." Gojo Yoru smiled slightly and encouraged him, "When your strength reaches a certain level, you will naturally know the secret of this technique."
Kushina Uzumaki paused, staring blankly at Yoru Gojo.
The curiosity in my heart was already overshadowed by Gojo Yoru's smile.
This guy's smile is actually quite handsome.
Kushina Uzumaki had seen Yoru Gojo smile at her before, but most of the smiles were mocking, or cool, faint smiles and cold laughs.
Such a pure, heartfelt smile is extremely rare.
And whether it was just her imagination or not, Kushina Uzumaki felt that something had changed about Yoru Gojo.
This change made him seem to radiate light, and he became even more handsome!
Coming to her senses, Kushina Uzumaki's face flushed slightly. She looked away, feigning disdain, and said, "Tch... Fine, I won't say it then. Anyway, your technique can only bully sissies."
"Heh...you really dare to say that. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Let's give it a try!"
"Sometimes I really admire you. If only your body could be as tough as your mouth."
"Keep being arrogant for now. Once I master that technique, you'll be crying later!"
"What kind of technique?"
"Hehe... I won't tell you!"
As if she had turned the tide, Kushina Uzumaki made a face at Yoru Gojo, then skipped ahead, not giving Yoru a chance to retaliate.
Gojo Yoru followed behind with a slight smile on his lips and his hands in his pockets.
"It's so good to be young..."
Today, I specially used the Crystal Telescope Technique to watch Hiruzen Sarutobi take his final exam, and couldn't help but smile and sigh.
Looking at the five Yoru in the crystal ball, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were full of satisfaction.
He also couldn't figure out the principle behind the Phantom Body Technique, and didn't know how Gojo Yoru managed to make the phantom clones not dissipate when attacked.
Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't delve into it further.
Because Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was known as the professor of ninjutsu, could tell at a glance that this technique was derived from Yoru Gojo's unique ability to teleport.
The Body Flicker Technique cannot reach the level of Gojo Yoru's ghostly silence. Even if you know the principle of this technique, you simply cannot learn it.
Moreover, this kind of bizarre teleportation technique can only provide an advantage in physical combat techniques of the same level.
A phantom clone is, in the end, just a phantom clone.
Without a physical form, it's impossible to perform spells like a shadow clone.
As long as one masters wide-range ninjutsu, this technique can be easily countered; it's nothing to be afraid of.
However, Gojo Yoru's talent still caught Hiruzen Sarutobi's attention.
"To develop a Body Flicker Technique at such a young age that doesn't belong to the Five Elements but is uniquely his own, not only demonstrates his powerful chakra control and reaction abilities but also suggests an extraordinary understanding of space. Perhaps... he has the potential to master Tobirama's technique." Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly turned to look in a certain direction, whispering in a voice only he could hear, "The fact that there has been no intervention for so long, does it mean that you, Lady Mito, have also approved of them?"
