Flying Thunder God?

The battle near the Naka River raged on, with ninjutsu and ninja tools wreaking havoc on the once peaceful forest.

A sickening sound of a blade piercing flesh echoed as Yato's sword struck a Root ninja.

"No!" the ninja screamed, realizing Yato had crushed his heart, ensuring no chance of survival.

"Asuka!" Another companion fell, prompting a distant Root ninja to scream in despair.

How could this happen? They were elite Konoha ninjas, members of the formidable Root unit, as strong as the Anbu under the Hokage, yet they were being slaughtered like livestock.

Fear spread, and some ninjas retreated, unable to bear the gruesome deaths of their comrades.

"Don't retreat! He's just one man!" shouted Jizo, using his code name, as Root and Anbu ninjas never used their real names on duty.

Jizo stood at the forefront, determined to fight to the death. Unlike those who retreated in fear, he had participated in the Third Great Ninja War and had seen fields more terrifying than this.

He firmly believed they could defeat Yato if they stood their ground and united.

After all, even the Third Raikage, the strongest spear, was killed due to being outnumbered.

Jizo approached with a kunai in one hand and quickly threw out several shurikens with the other.

"Everyone, follow me! Kill him!"

A Root ninja behind him rapidly formed hand seals, preparing an illusion to support his comrades.

But in the next moment, Yato vanished with a "whoosh."

Jizo clutched his neck, realizing he'd been fatally stabbed. "Flying Thunder God Slash!?" he cried out in disbelief, recognizing the technique of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. How could the other party, a person from another village, learn it?

Despite the questions swirling in his mind, he didn't have a chance to figure out what happened. Blood spurted from his wound, and he died shortly after.

"Jizo. Damn it!"

The illusionist finished his technique, determined not to let Jizo's death be in vain. However, Yato's shadow clone had already deployed smoke bombs, obscuring his vision.

"Damn, have you found him?" The illusionist was frustrated and anxious. Too many Root ninjas had died without landing a single blow on Yato.

Aburame Maru, recognizing the threat, warned, "Be careful. He might be using the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Looking at the thick smoke below, Maru was also scared.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow.

As a ninja of Konoha, he was no stranger to the golden flash of Minato Namikaze and his famous Flying Thunder God Technique. It was a terrifying ninjutsu, so elusive that you didn't even know how you died.

"Is this terrible ninjutsu going to appear in the world again? And it's not from our Konoha?"

The power of the Flying Thunder God Technique is beyond doubt. Even in an absolutely unfavorable situation of one against many, it can instantly resolve the battle and kill people invisibly.

However, because this ninjutsu is so strong, it is extremely difficult to master. It requires a high level of ninjutsu talent and a unique affinity for time and space.

So far, only Tobirama and Minato could use it, and they were both Konoha's Hokage!

"It's not the Flying Thunder God!"

Suddenly, a ninja wearing a fox mask spoke up, which made Maru feel much more relaxed.

He recognized this ninja. Although he didn't have the Byakugan, which had an incredible ability to detect things, his dynamic vision and perception were extremely amazing.

Since he said it wasn't, then it wasn't!

But soon, Maru frowned again and asked, "Then what is it? Body Flicker Technique?"

The Body Flicker Technique is also one of the Three Body Techniques.

However, it is different from the common transformation technique, clone technique, and substitution technique.

The Body Flicker Technique, Immobilization Technique, and Invisibility Technique, collectively known as the Three Body Techniques, are more advanced and used exclusively by the Anbu.

"Could he be an Anbu member from another ninja village?" Maru was shocked.

Konoha at this time was too sensitive, amidst the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan.

If an Anbu ninja from another village appeared here now and they sided with the Uchiha, things would be serious!

The man denied this possibility and said, "It's not the Body Flicker Technique."

Maru was stunned. "If not, then what could it be?"

The fox-masked ninja explained, "No, it's a strange physical technique. He stomps on the ground rapidly, using the reaction force to move at high speeds."

"What weaknesses can be targeted for such a physical technique?"

"It's very simple. Just like what he did, you need to stomp on the ground continuously in an instant. The faster you do it, the stronger the reaction, and the faster you move."

The fox-masked ninja pointed out the weakness of "shaving."

"But if you do this, the explosive force will be very strong, and even you can't control the trajectory of movement and can only move in a straight line!"

"Straight line?" Maru nodded and asked, "Then to what extent can you reach the speed he just did?"

"I don't know." The man shook his head and said, "This is too difficult. There is only theory."

"Just tell me your opinion."

"To reach his speed, one would need to stomp dozens or hundreds of times within a second, generating immense explosive force," the fox-masked ninja elaborated.

Within a second?

Stomping dozens or hundreds of times continuously?

Maru realized the sheer difficulty and training required for such a technique. Yato seemed less like a human and more like a humanoid beast.

Whether ninjutsu or taijutsu, its power is mostly equal to its training difficulty.

Even powerful ninjutsu with low training difficulty have hidden dangers, like the multiple shadow clones, an S-level ninjutsu with low training difficulty but hidden dangers that endanger oneself.

So, when the ninja told him, Maru was shocked by Yato's ability to achieve such a result.

Yato naturally didn't know their thoughts.

When the shadow clone threw the smoke bomb for cover, he had locked the position of the Root ninja in advance.

Even though he couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, he still controlled the shuriken, and kunai without hesitation.

"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!" Multiple Root ninjas shouted, forming protective barriers.

Shuriken and Kunai hammered against the walls, which barely held. But then the weapons floated up again, controlled by Yato.

"Stop him!" Maru screamed in horror.

If they could resist one or two waves of hidden weapons, could they resist three or four? They must stop him quickly!

The Root ninjas knew the situation was critical. They no longer hesitated and jumped from their surroundings, rushing towards Yato with killing intent.

"Yato..." Riku called.

"I know!" Yato said coldly.

Seeing the Root ninjas attacking from all directions, he immediately loosened his left hand and stopped urging the hidden weapons, touching the ground with the tip of his sword.

It was just a light touch, but the Root Ninja who jumped in the air seemed to suffer a heavy blow, falling rapidly under gravity's pressure, creating cracks on the ground.

"Gravity Knife Chaos!"

At the same time, the shadow clones hidden in the dark jumped out again, ruthlessly throwing ninja tools at the ninjas immobilized by gravity.

"This..."

Seeing this, the Root ninjas were shocked, their pupils shrinking, and they dared not approach, retreating quickly.

They were afraid of being killed!

They still couldn't figure out Yato's technique or determine whether he used Kekkei Genkai or ninjutsu.

Such a result was discouraging. They had lost too much, and many of their companions had lost their lives.
