Pseudo-Kage

"I once saw Ryoha fight against the Fifth Mizukage when I was in the Kirigakure. She had two types of Bloodline Limit and was very powerful.

"One of her techniques was to transform herself into the element of Nature Transformation she used. I was inspired by her, so I also followed this method and study it. Finally, I'm able to do the same thing. When Ryoha saw it, he also thought of a name for me. It was called Ice Element Transformation.

Haku did not hide anything. After all, if she wanted to use this technique, it would be impossible without her knowledge, talent, and her Ice Release Bloodline Limit.

"The name is indeed very appropriate. It seems that I am the weakest person here." Natsuhi said with a bit of frustration.

"Just try your best to catch up. You haven't learned anything other than the Mysterious Peacock. That won't do. You can take this opportunity to test the type of your Nature Transformation and then learn some of its common jutsus. After that, you can develop your own secret technique according to your situation and needs."

Although Haku was only 15 or 16 years old, it didn't mean that she didn't have the qualifications to teach Natsuhi. Right now, no one knew what level her strength had reached. Even Byakko, who taught her, didn't know what level Haku had reached. She could only say that her strength was improving day by day.

With a clear goal in mind, Natsuhi now began to look at Ryoha and Tsunade, who were able to move so fast that they would look like a flash of light when they moved through the snow-covered land.

Both of them could use the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. It was possible their drastic speed improvement was a result of them using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu repeatedly. Even if they didn't use the space-time ninjutsu, their normal speed or even their Body Flicker Jutsu were already terrifying. The Flying Thunder God Jutsu was really helping them.

Although it was not really distinguishable, its auxiliary effect was still extremely useful. The long-term use of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu seemed to have an inexplicable effect and change on the user's body.

As he became faster, Minato's physical fitness was also improving drastically. Because of this, Minato was able to maintain his speed steadily. Many people could not tell whether Minato used his Flying Thunder God Jutsu when he moved.

Because in the later part of his life, his crazy speed was seen by other people as him using the Flying Thunder God jutsu. But in fact, he was just using his Body Flicker Jutsu. The extreme different in their speed made people thought that Minato was always using his Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

As for Ryoha and Tsunade, they gradually knew about this side effect of using Flying Thunder God Jutsu, but they were still very impressed by Minato.

Although this technique was not as aggresive as the space-time ninjutsu of Madara and the others, their space-time ninjutsu didn't have any side effects of drastically increasing the user's natural speed.

"At this rate, we should arrive at the Land of Water soon." The distance between Land of Snow and Land of Water was not very far. At least it was several times closer than when Ryoha went back from the Amegakure. However, they were using the sea route. If they followed the land route, they would have to take a big detour.

However, Ryoha and Tsunade would not be able to use their speed if they walked on a body of water, so they could only sit on the boat. This way, their speed would be no different from walking on land.

"Sigh! It's like just leaving a wolf's den and entering a tiger's mouth. I just walked out of Land of Snow's extreme cold, and now I have to face the cruel blue sea again." Ryoha sat on the boat and looked at the endless sea. He shrugged his shoulders and sighed helplessly.

"Not bad. The sea is unfathomable, but it nourishes all things. Didn't you develop your Tsunami Rasengan after observing the sea? You should be more thankful!"

Tsunade scolded Ryoha. He didn't know if it was because she had died once. When facing other people, Tsunade was still the same as before, but when facing Ryoha, she often bickered.

"Yeah, yeah. It's my fault. But this is too slow. It seems that I have to do this."

Ryoha came to the end of the ship. A water clone appeared beside him.

"Nine-tails Rasengan!." The water clone's chakra was just enough to use a Nine-tails Rasengan. As the water clone's feet firmly stuck to the tail of the ship, the Rasengan hit the surface of the sea, acting as a high-powered propeller. The speed of the ship suddenly increased.

"This is better!" Ryoha felt the sea breeze blowing on his face. This feeling was much more comfortable.

"It seems that you gained a lot from your trip to Amegakure last time." Tsunade could see the change in Ryoha. In the past, Ryoha's strength was at the peak of the Elite Jonin level, but his actual combat strength was comparable to that of a Kage. In addition, his Visual Jutsu could even defeat a Kage-level ninja now.

However, after the battle in the Amegakure, Ryoha had exhausted his physical strength and chakra. It was unknown whether it was due to excessive sorrow that had stimulated his potential. Ryoha's strength, which had been stuck in the Elite Jonin level finally broke through its limit. Although he did not directly reach the level of a Kage, he reached the Pseudo-Kage-level strength. This way, Ryoha's actual combat strength had increased again.

In the past, when Ryoha continuously refined his Nine-tails chakra, the amount of chakra he got was increasing, the quality did not increase much. Later on, Ryoha's body was no longer able to contain more Nine-tails chakra, unless the Nine-tails chakra itself had changed. Therefore, Ryoha had always been stuck at Elite Jonin level for a long time without any improvement.

Until more than a month ago, after the battle with Pain and Tobi, the bottleneck finally loosened, enabling him to break through to the next level, reaching the Pseudo-Kage level. Usually, after breaking through, one would slowly accumulate more power. Although their chakra seemed to decrease, but in fact, it was not the case.

After being continuously compressed and refined, the Nine-tails Chakra was at least twice stronger than when Ryoha was at the Elite Jonin level. Moreover, his body could accommodate more of this high-quality and purer Nine-tailes chakra.

At the same time, along with the qualitative change of the Nine-tails chakra, the chakra points in his body also became much wider. In other words, Ryoha could store more Nine-tails chakra than before.
