"As long as this problem is not solved, even if the Flying Thunder God Kunai is applied to the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, the Flying Thunder God Kunai that is replicated will only be a mere appearance and will not have the characteristics to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Minato Namikaze's attainments in the Flying Thunder God Technique have already surpassed the theoretical creator and the first actual user, Tobirama Senju. He has already thought of many possibilities for improving the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The reason why it was not put into practice was naturally because Minato Namikaze encountered one problem or another that he could not solve.
"I have a solution!"
Hatake Akira's words were so powerful that Minato Namikaze sat up straight despite his weak body.
"any solution!"
"Improved Flying Thunder God Technique!"
After saying that, Hatake Akira pulled Minato Namikaze's hand over, stretched out his index finger and drew a Flying Thunder God technique that had been improved by Hatake Akira on the palm of his hand.
Feeling Hatake Akira's nails sliding across his palm, Namikaze Minato's mood couldn't help but rise along with the sliding of Hatake Akira's fingertips.
When Hatake Akira finished the last stroke, Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up frighteningly as he looked at the simplified Flying Thunder God technique taking shape in his palm!
He could feel that this Flying Thunder God Technique simplified by Hatake Akira not only had the same effect as the original Flying Thunder God Technique, but also had a very special attribute.
Self-replication!
"Is this...similar to the storage principle of the Sealing Scroll?"
"As expected of you, teacher. You can see the essence of this simplified Flying Thunder God technique at a glance." Hatake Akira was full of admiration, and then began to explain the principles behind it to Namikaze Minato.
"This simplified Flying Thunder God spell has its own chakra storage function, and despite its surface being just a single spell, it actually contains thousands of identical simplified Flying Thunder God spells!"
"In this way, as long as the simplified Flying Thunder God technique is engraved on a Flying Thunder God Kunai, and then the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique is applied, the Flying Thunder God Mark can cover the entire battlefield in an instant!"
"Ming, you are such a genius!"
Namikaze Minato patted Hatake Akira's shoulder vigorously, and the smile on his face could no longer be concealed, "I want my body to recover as before, and then I can learn, test, and apply this new simplified Flying Thunder God technique!"
"Then let's get started, teacher." Hatake Akira raised his hand and shot out a chakra chain that was tied to Minato Namikaze. He used his third skill, Tai Gua·Changsheng, without saying anything, and gave Minato Namikaze a large amount of life energy.
Chapter 126: The Sandaime Raikage’s evaluation.
From the birth of the ninja profession to the present, this profession has existed for thousands of years.
During these thousand years, countless geniuses have emerged in the ninja profession.
Although there are differences between geniuses, the difference may be very small in the eyes of others.
But even this tiny bit of difference brought two extreme outcomes to the two geniuses.
To put it simply, the gap between an ordinary person and a genius is like the gap between 60 points on an exam and 98 points on an exam, while the gap between a genius and a genius may be 98 points versus 99 points.
Although there was only a one-point difference, the result was already determined, and the future path was also different.
Hatake Akira is also very talented, his talent is above 90 points, but to reach 98 points or even 99 points or 100 points, there is a level of difficulty that is as difficult as Uchiha Madara.
But don't forget that equipping the equipment in the city has the effect of increasing all of Hatake Akira's ninjutsu talents by a percentage.
In other words, the higher Hatake Akira's basic talent, the greater the percentage increase.
In order to make up for the deficiency of Flying Thunder God Technique as soon as possible, Hatake Akira spent a huge amount of money and used all the 6003 gold coins he had saved to buy the equipment Scholar's Wrath.
The price of the equipment item, Scholar's Wrath, in the equipment mall is 2300 gold coins. With Akira Hatake's current gold coin balance, he can only buy two pieces.
But just relying on the two manifested Wrath of the Scholar, the bonus of all the ninjutsu talents of Hatake Akira has now reached a terrifying 117.5%!
Moreover, the passive of the equipment Scholar's Wrath - Destruction, is not the only passive. In other words, as long as Qi Muming has enough gold coins, he can buy it unlimitedly and stack the passive effects.
Up to now, Hatake Akira has a total of 3 pieces of Scholar's Wrath, so the passive effect of Scholar's Wrath has been stacked three times.
[Passive - Destruction: All Ninjutsu attack power increases by 30%. ]
This is the passive effect of the Scholar's Wrath, which means that the power of the ninjutsu released through the hands of Hatake Akira will now be directly increased by 90%!
There is no need to explain in detail what this concept means. An S-level ninjutsu in the hands of Hatake Akira will instantly become S+!
If the previous Wind Lightning Style: Rasenshuriken was unable to break through the Third Raikage's Lightning Style Armor defense, then now, what Hatake Akira has to consider is no longer whether he can break through the Third Raikage's defense, but the impact range of the Wind Lightning Style: Rasenshuriken after its explosion.
After purchasing two pieces of Scholar's Wrath, Akira Hatake's originally abundant gold coin balance reached the number 1403.
But this time, Hatake Akira didn't feel bad at all, because the money was worth it!
When Hatake Akira materialized the two pieces of Scholar's Wrath and sealed them into the scroll, he felt his mind become clear and his thinking speed increased significantly.
Moreover, for many previous problems in ninjutsu, it seemed as if he had learned them by himself. Hundreds of possible solutions flashed through his mind one by one, and finally, Hatake Akira keenly found one or three practical solutions.
The simplification of the technique for launching the Flying Thunder God Technique was a breakthrough that Hatake Akira found with the help of his rapidly increased ninjutsu talent.
Not only that, Hatake Akira now even has ideas about the third stage of Flying Thunder God to be developed later, and has even initially built a theoretical model in his mind with a very high feasibility.
……
In the field hospital, Minato Namikaze and Kakashi, who had just entered to recuperate for less than half an hour, walked out in high spirits amid the astonished gazes of a group of medical ninjas.
"Did you understand just now?"
"No……"
"Is it Hatake Akira's credit?"
"What else? I heard that Akira Hatake was taught by Tsunade-sama."
"But even if you are taught by Tsunade-sama, you can't ignore common sense..."
"I noticed that when Hatake Akira was healing Minato and his brother Kakashi, he injected a lot of life energy into them!"
"Hiss... This is a bit scary..."
After the three men left, the medical ninjas in the field hospital talked with each other about what had just happened. The healing method that refreshed their worldview opened the door to a new world for them.
But even though they opened it, putting it into practice was undoubtedly like climbing to the sky on foot, which was simply impossible for them.
And this time, Hatake Akira did not hide his abilities, because he felt that there was no need to hide his abilities anymore.
This has a lot to do with Hatake Akira's rapidly growing strength. Now there is almost no one in Konoha who can pose an open threat to him.
Even though there are endless secret means, Hatake Akira is confident that he can use the Third Ninja World War to gild himself.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo have gradually widened the gap with Hatake Akira.
Hatake Akira's fangs are about to be revealed to everyone!
"You guys...are you discharged from the hospital already?!"
Jiraiya, who was studying the battle situation and arranging the troops in the tent, sounded a little surprised when he saw three people walking in after opening the tent curtain.
"It seems it's because of you." Jiraiya then figured it out and looked at Hatake Akira with some surprise, "Are you not going to keep hiding it?"
"I didn't hide it."
Hatake Akira was a little dissatisfied with Jiraiya's choice of words, "It's just that the time was not right before, so I only let people I trusted know. But now that my ability is public, it doesn't matter."
"You make up your own mind."
Jiraiya nodded, then waved to the three of them, "Since you have fully recovered with Ming's help, I have another task for you."
"We need to go on another mission?!" Hatake Akira's eyes widened. "Master, you can't just keep using the three of us to death!"
"But apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who can carry out this mission." Jiraiya felt a little embarrassed, but still told the content of the mission, "According to the information sent by Danzo, the Land of Earth intends to put aside their past grudges with the Land of Lightning and join forces to attack us."
"And your mission is very simple, which is to go deep into the territory of Taki Country, find out the movements of the Earth Country ninja forces, and find out whether the Tsuchikage Ohnoki has left the Iwagakure Village."
"This isn't a very dangerous mission..." Hatake Akira was a little confused. "I think an elite scout team can handle this mission."
"I thought so at first, but according to the news sent back by Danzo, of the three elite scout teams he sent out, one sent back some useful intelligence before being wiped out, while the remaining two died without a trace..."
"Although a full-scale war has not yet begun, it is foreseeable that the number of our Konoha ninja troops is definitely at a disadvantage, so any ninja now cannot be wasted for no reason."
"So, I can only trouble you a little longer..."
Jiraiya's eyes were full of apology, "Only you can avoid the battle or evacuate safely while obtaining relevant information."
Hatake Akira was quite helpless. Could it be that the development of Flying Thunder God Kunai: Shadow Clone Jutsu, a new ninjutsu that would make up for the shortcomings of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, would have to be delayed for a while?
"Master, are we setting off now?" Hatake Akira was still a little unwilling and asked tentatively.
"Of course not now." Jiraiya's answer made Hatake Akira breathe a sigh of relief, but the departure time Jiraiya gave was also very tight. "I prefer that you rest for another three days and set off on time after three days."
Three days...
Hatake Akira pondered it for a while and felt that although three days was still a tight time frame, it was not impossible to produce results.
The three of them exchanged glances, then nodded in unison, agreeing to take on the task.
……
At the same time, the seriously injured Sandaime Raikage was also escorted back to the Hidden Cloud Village.
In the Kumogakure Village Hospital, a group of medical ninjas lowered their heads, currently enduring the reprimands and scolding from the Kumogakure Village elders.
"Elder, this is not our problem."
After being scolded harshly, a medical ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village finally couldn't help but retort in a low voice.
Bang!
But what greeted him was not an explanation, but an enormous fist.
"Whose problem am I talking about? I'm talking about the Sandaime-sama's injury. If you can't heal him in time, then it's your incompetence! It's dereliction of duty!"
"I don't want to hear the reasons, I just want the results. I want to see the Sandaime-sama recover!"
"Enough! Let them go."
Just as this powerful elder of the Hidden Cloud Village was still roaring, the Sandaime Raikage in the ward spoke up to stop him.
"I know my own body, and I know their abilities. It won't do any good to criticize them too much."
Although the Third Raikage looks like a humanoid beast when fighting, he is a kind and amiable middle-aged man when interacting with others.
However, after having a large amount of life energy reduced by Hatake Akira's third skill, the Sandaime Raikage has officially entered the old age stage, and the spirit at the end of his peak period has mostly dissipated.
"Sandaime-sama, how are you feeling?"
The powerful elder pushed open the door and ran in, speaking anxiously.
"My injuries have stabilized and I will be healed in no time. But my body... has aged drastically..." The Sandaime Raikage clenched his fists, his eyes full of desolation, "After a battle, I feel like I have aged all of a sudden..."
"I will notify A at the front and have him organize his troops immediately to launch a general attack on the northeastern border of the Land of Fire!" The powerful elder had a look of hatred on his face. "While defeating the Konoha ninja troops, capture the culprit who caused your injury and escort him to the Hidden Cloud Village so that he can treat your injury personally!"
