Chapter 100 Reactions from All Sides, A New Super S-Rank Ninjutsu, the Core of Teleportation
"Night, you have truly given this old man a great fright."
Konoha, Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Yoru Gojo, who had returned even earlier than Jiraiya, his face filled with astonishment and disbelief.
As the second person in Konoha to master the Flying Thunder God Technique, and also developed the Rasengan that complements the Flying Thunder God Technique, and being Orochimaru's disciple and grand-disciple, Hiruzen Sarutobi highly valued Gojo Yoru, otherwise he wouldn't have given him so many special favors, promoted him twice in a row, and even granted him the privilege of ignoring certain idiots.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, Orochimaru was the most suitable person to inherit his mantle and the best candidate to become the Fourth Hokage.
Gojo Yoru would be the best candidate for the Fifth Hokage.
At the beginning, Hiruzen Sarutobi's greatest expectation for Yoru Gojo was that he would stay by Orochimaru's side, learn from the experience of Jonin and commanders from his three disciples, improve his overall qualities, and prepare to become a Jonin who would become a backbone force in the future.
Unexpectedly, Yoru Gojo was so outstanding.
Having just arrived at the border base, on the very first day, they assisted Tsunade in raiding Hanzo's salamander pharmaceutical workshop, enabling their side to quickly develop a formula to counteract the salamander's deadly poison.
He also joined forces with three disciples to defeat Hanzo of the Salamander, becoming the first person in decades to injure the Salamander. This made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel incredible, but he was also proud of his judgment.
Taking this opportunity, Gojo Yoru, a pure-blooded Hokage, was specially promoted to Special Jonin.
However, the gap between Special Jonin and Jonin is like an insurmountable chasm.
The former only requires special talent, possessing a certain special skill in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, and can be promoted after passing the assessment.
The latter, as the backbone of the ninja villages of various countries, not only need to be proficient in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, and master at least two nature transformations, but also need to have mission command ability. Furthermore, they need to undergo a comprehensive evaluation by the Five Kage on their combat skills, intelligence analysis, analytical ability, and loyalty before being appointed.
The best example is Kurenai Yuhi, who is a year older than Kakashi Hatake. Thanks to the outstanding genjutsu talent and genjutsu inheritance of the Yuhi family, she easily became a special jonin.
However, she was promoted from a special Jonin to a full Jonin just before the main storyline began.
Kakashi Hatake, who is a year younger than her, along with Asuma Sarutobi and Might Guy, are already among Konoha's ace fighters.
Therefore, a true Jonin is also known as an all-around Jonin, who is a true all-rounder.
After giving Gojo Yoru a special promotion, Hiruzen Sarutobi hoped that he would hone his skills on the battlefield, experience life-or-death battles to increase his chakra reserves, combat experience, and adaptability.
After the war ended, he was rightfully appointed as an all-around Jonin, officially becoming a member of Konoha's high-ranking circle.
After turning eighteen, she became one of Konoha's main fighting forces, and together with Kushina Uzumaki, she became a benchmark for the new generation.
At that time, his strength was still at its peak, his three favorite disciples had reached their peak, a new generation was rising, and he could also use Jinchuriki—Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't imagine how powerful Konoha would be.
It is certain that Konoha's overall strength will surpass that of Konoha during the First Shinobi World War.
Hiruzen Sarutobi has already greatly overestimated Yoru Gojo.
Unexpectedly, they still greatly underestimated this super genius, who, like Tobirama, is a once-in-a-lifetime talent.
Before even graduating from the Ninja Academy, he developed the Rasengan, a ninjutsu with an A-level difficulty level. He also combined the Shadow Clone Technique and the Body Flicker Technique to develop the Phantom Body Flicker Technique, which can transform from illusion to reality and from reality to illusion, while perfectly concealing his chakra aura.
After graduation, he quickly learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, mastered the Lightning Release Nature Transformation from scratch, and later even developed the Black Lightning Secret Technique.
Such talent in ninjutsu even made Hiruzen Sarutobi, the "professor of ninjutsu," feel ashamed and inferior.
In terms of intelligence, he used his intelligence advantage to instantly kill fifty-five Sand Ninja, including the Sand Village's intelligence king.
He was promoted again to an all-around Jonin, setting a record for the fastest promotion and becoming the youngest commander on the battlefield.
After just one year of honing his skills, Gojo Yoru has demonstrated terrifying dominance, becoming the undisputed ace fighter of the ninja world. Now, even the demigods of the ninja world have fallen to him.
Despite having an intelligence advantage, a victory is a victory, and even Hanzo the Salamander admitted his defeat.
Unwittingly, Gojo Yoru accomplished a feat that none of the Five Kage could achieve.
In less than two years, he went from a young genius to the sharpest blade in his own hands. No wonder Hiruzen Sarutobi was so dazed.
Gojo Yoru smiled modestly, "Lord Hokage, you flatter me. I was able to defeat that demigod of the ninja world because of my age and the advantage of information. I am still in my growth stage, while his strength has already reached its limit. In the past year of our battles, Orochimaru-sensei and I have a thorough understanding of all kinds of information about him."
"I was able to severely injure him because I happened to find his true form and created an opportunity to take off, and the new technique just happened to be a lightning release secret technique."
"Fortunately, that demigod of the ninja world had planned to leave early on, otherwise, if this new move had been exposed, it wouldn't have been so easy to defeat or injure him in the future."
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew this too, yet he still praised you without reservation: "Even so, you are the only one in the last few decades to have injured the Salamander and Hanzo the Salamander. You are now just one step away from the pinnacle of the ninja world. Once your chakra level increases, perhaps even I will not be your match."
"No, actually I still have many shortcomings, it's just that speed and the Flying Thunder God Technique have helped to cover up these weaknesses." Gojo Yoru shook his head and stated the purpose of his trip back, "Hokage-sama, I want to exchange for a training method for a technique."
"What kind of technique?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked curiously.
Last year, when Gojo Yoru was allowed to choose any forbidden technique at will, he didn't choose any of the S-rank or super S-rank techniques, but instead chose an A-rank technique called Mutual Multiplication Explosion Tags.
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought that Yoru Gojo was preparing to follow the same path as Tobirama-sensei in inventing ninjutsu.
After all, Rasengan, Phantom Body Flicker Technique, Black Lightning Technique, and the new laser beam are all extremely powerful ninjutsu and secret techniques with extremely high difficulty in mastering.
Now they're actually offering to exchange for ninjutsu? Is it because they want to use those techniques to gain inspiration and continue developing new ninjutsu?
Gojo Yoru's next words confirmed Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea.
"Lord Hokage, I wish to exchange for the Spirit Transformation Technique." Gojo Yoru stated his reasoning, "My current speed has almost reached the limit of what I understand, and it's difficult to advance any further. I also have no shortage of the five major categories of techniques: ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, sealing, and medical techniques."
"My biggest weakness right now is my perception."
"The Spirit Transformation Technique is a super S-rank Yin Release secret technique. It is said that Kato-senpai can not only separate spiritual energy from physical energy and transform it into a spirit state to achieve long-range attacks, but also possess other people's bodies, control their bodies, read their memories, and gain battlefield perception, etc. So I want to exchange for the Spirit Transformation Technique, study the essence of this super S-rank secret technique, and see if I can improve my perception ability."
Gojo Yoru's words were half true and half false.
It's true, he really did have that thought.
The reason I didn't exchange for the Spirit Transformation Technique last year was because Gojo Yoru's talent was simply not enough to qualify him for such a super S-rank technique.
Once the ultimate techniques and the Spirit Transformation Technique are used, the soul will leave the body, putting the body in the most dangerous state.
Gojo Yoru's greatest weakness in his spacetime abilities is his fear of assassination.
Even though his chakra control has reached another level, Gojo Yoru still needs a certain amount of time to allow the space-time chakra to flow throughout his body before he can achieve full-body intangibility; he cannot do it instantly.
If the Space-Time Yin Seal is broken, its properties can be utilized to enter a virtual state almost instantly.
He was already afraid of being assassinated, so how could he possibly use the ability to astral projection and put his body in danger?
In Gojo Yoru's eyes, the Spirit Transformation Technique had become the most useless and worthless Super S-rank ninjutsu.
But now, Gojo Yoru, whose talent has transformed from a math idiot to a math genius, is fascinated by the art of spiritification.
As he said, the Spirit Transformation Technique is a super S-rank Yin Release secret technique.
The ability to perfectly separate spiritual energy from physical energy, with the former transforming into a spirit form and leaving the body, demonstrates a Yin Release skill that surpasses any genjutsu, even the Yin Release of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
In the original story, Kato Dan's rescue was so effective that even Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan couldn't detect it.
The art of spiritualization also possesses top-tier stealth capabilities.
If one can master the essence of this technique, Gojou Yoru's Yin Release skills will not only be greatly improved, but his control over spiritual energy will also reach a whole new level. This is the most crucial point.
As long as he can perfectly control his mental energy, Gojou Yoru's perception will be enhanced.
The talent boost brought about by the second evolution made Gojo Yoru very certain of his original conjecture.
He wants to develop a spacetime teleportation technique without any specific method, and he must master two core elements.
First, his perception reached its peak; second, his spacetime chakra completely left his body. Then, by combining the two, Gojo Yoru was able to perceive the existence of "spacetime".
These two core elements can be summarized in two words: control.
The former controls mental energy, while the latter controls the spacetime energy within the body, which can also be described as physical energy.
It was at that moment that Gojo Yoru finally understood just how powerful the Bloodline Limit was, no wonder only the Otsutsuki clan could wield it.
To control the fusion of seven nature transformations into a bloodline limit requires not only cultivating nature transformations to an extremely high level, but also possessing control abilities from another dimension.
Gojo Yoru's chakra control has reached a whole new level. Looking at the entire ninja world, apart from Nagato, Gojo Yoru can't think of anyone else who can compare to him.
Those who can surpass him are not only Isshiki Otsutsuki, who belongs to another dimension, but also Madara Uchiha, who can perfectly control spiritual energy and Yin Release chakra with his Susanoo without eyes, and Black Zetsu Otsutsuki, the third son of Kaguya Otsutsuki and the protagonist of "Black Zetsu Saves His Mother," who is himself a product of Yin-Yang Release.
Similarly, Gojo Yoru finally understood why even individual bloodline limits could only barely manipulate space-time power, resulting in fixed moves and limited applications.
And every pure-blooded Otsutsuki seems to have a talent for space-time, and can master all sorts of space-time abilities.
Only by synthesizing the chakra control of the Bloodline Limit could one barely touch the threshold of spacetime.
A powerful bloodline limit might allow one to step into the world of time and space, but its application remains limited.
To enter the world of time and space and freely interfere with the real world and other dimensions, one must achieve a level of chakra control that surpasses that of synthetic bloodline limits.
Gojou Yoru didn't know if the Otsutsuki god, who seemed to have transcended this dimension, had reached this level.
But one thing is certain: as long as he continues to evolve, each evolution will bring about an all-round improvement, and he will definitely be able to reach that level.
The talent boost brought about by the second evolution has allowed Gojo Yoru to reach a standard level of control over his body's energy.
If he can further improve his control over mental energy, and with the Flying Thunder God Technique providing inspiration, Gojo Yoru has a high chance of developing a spacetime teleportation technique that doesn't require any special method at this stage.
Besides enhancing mental energy control and aiding in developing teleportation, the Spirit Transformation Technique, once the problem of the physical body is solved, is indeed a powerful move no less than the Flying Thunder God Technique. It also allows one to communicate with Konan right under the noses of Black and White Zetsu.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was unaware that Yoru Gojo's thoughts involved a spacetime dimension far more complex than Yin Release or Yang Release.
Seeing that Gojo Yoru was exchanging the Spirit Transformation Technique to enhance his sensory abilities, Hiruzen Sarutobi confirmed his guess and nodded in agreement: "Not a bad idea. If you can learn the Spirit Transformation Technique, not only will your sensory abilities be greatly enhanced, but you will also become a Yin Release assassin."
As if remembering something, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly said with a serious expression, "With the merits you've accumulated this year, exchanging for the Spirit Transformation Technique is no problem at all. However, before exchanging this technique for you, I must remind you of something. Your current weakness is perception, which means that your spiritual energy and Yin Release are also weaknesses. Logically speaking, with your conditions, it would be difficult for you to learn the Spirit Transformation Technique. But the world of geniuses is inherently unreasonable, especially for a super genius like you who is rare to see in decades. No matter how unbelievable things happen to you, I wouldn't be surprised."
"Therefore, once you've mastered the Spirit Transformation Technique, never enter the mental world of a Yin Release master before your spiritual energy and Yin Release abilities become stronger. Every technique has weaknesses and flaws, and even super S-rank ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Spirit Transformation Technique are no exception. When your spirit enters someone else's mental world, it's a clash between spiritual energy and Yin Release. If you're severely injured inside, it means your spirit, or even your soul, has been severely damaged. Such injuries are difficult to heal and may even be permanent, causing your strength to stagnate."
Gojou Yoru nodded emphatically: "I understand, Hokage-sama."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite at ease with Gojo Yoru, who was precocious in his mind.
Moreover, to become an excellent assassin, one must not only be fast, but also have a cautious and meticulous personality.
They are the ninjas who know how to save their lives best.
So, Hiruzen Sarutobi began exchanging Spirit Transformation Techniques for Gojo Yoru.
"Such a fast technique. If it weren't for the pre-cast animation of condensation, it would be virtually unbeatable. If condensed in advance and combined with the teleportation of the Flying Thunder God Technique, probably no one could escape the 'first-encounter kill' of this technique."
In the dimly lit underground space, Madara Uchiha used Yin-Yang Release to read the scene that White Zetsu was seeing, as if he had personally witnessed Gojo Yoru using laser beams.
Madara Uchiha gave high praise to Gojou's laser beam, then analyzed it with a profound gaze: "Black—"
A beam of red light, lightning-fast speed, and a thunderous roar—was it a Black Lightning Technique, or a lightning bolt from Storm Release? But whether it's Black Lightning or Storm Release, both are related to Lightning Release, so—why is there no trace of lightning?
"Is that destructive power that annihilates everything truly a characteristic of black lightning?"
Madara Uchiha, who was naturally suspicious, did not believe the rumors circulating outside.
Most importantly, black lightning and storm release techniques are not uncommon in the ninja world; Gojo Yoru is by no means the first example.
Is it necessary to hide such secret techniques and bloodline limits?
Moreover, Madara Uchiha had never seen Black Lightning and Storm Release possess such destructive power.
Even the terrifying explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball would stir up endless dust and debris.
How can mere Lightning Release and Storm Release achieve what even Tailed Beast Ball cannot?
Thinking of this, Madara Uchiha felt even more contempt for Hanzo of the Salamander: "This junior who plays with poison can't even get a kid's secret out, yet he has the nerve to accept the title of demigod of the ninja world. He's truly shameless."
"Lord Madara, could it be that you've guessed wrong, and it's actually that simple?" White Zetsu showed no respect to Uchiha Madara.
"roll."
Madara Uchiha closed his eyes, too lazy to argue with White Zetsu.
"Even the old guy with the breathing tube lost—"
At the temporary command post of the Sunagakure front, Chiyo looked at the intelligence report that had been delivered, her expression shifting between anger and disbelief.
Just like in the original work, hearing the name White Fang or seeing Kakashi Hatake would trigger a stress response.
Chiyo felt the same way when she heard about Gojo Yoru.
In the midst of the four-way war, the person who hated Gojo Yoru the most and wanted him dead the most was not the Amegakure ninja who were terrified by Gojo Yoru, nor was it Hanzo of the Salamander who saw him as the biggest obstacle to invading the Land of Fire, but Chiyo.
Consequently, she also harbored deep hatred for Hatake Sakumo, who also had white hair and was skilled in lightning release and assassination techniques.
But now, Chiyo felt as if she had been doused with cold water, and her heart sank.
Even Hanzo the Salamander was defeated, so just how much has that kid's strength improved?
With his mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique, who could possibly kill him?
Does she still have any hope of revenge?
"Mother, Lord Kazekage wishes to speak with you."
At that moment, a man with short red hair walked in from outside and spoke respectfully.
"I understand—"
Chiyo walked out of the tent, seemingly lost in thought.
"Father, even that demigod of the ninja world has been defeated. Should we continue fighting Konoha?"
In the Tsuchikage's office in Iwagakure, Kotsuchi looked at Onoki sitting at his desk and felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time, along with a strange—fear.
Over the past two years, he has heard the name Gojo Yoru countless times and has been paying attention to him.
He also witnessed Gojo Yoru's transformation from an unknown nobody into a big shot known to everyone in the ninja world.
Moreover, he was only a few years older than Gojo Yoru.
This is why Huang Tu felt the powerlessness and despair that his peers shared, as well as the fear of the name Gojo Yoru.
The Flying Thunder God Technique user who injured the Salamander, the fastest ninja in the world who instantly killed fifty-five Sand Ninjas, and a top assassin who struck fear into the hearts of Rain Ninjas—each of these events earned Gojo Yoru a new title, demonstrating the prestige of his achievements.
Any Jonin who achieves any one of these accomplishments will become a renowned figure in the ninja world, and may even become the ace fighter of the ninja village.
These achievements were accomplished by Gojo Yoru alone, who also defeated the undisputed pinnacle of the ninja world.
Such power makes young ninjas from an enemy country like Konoha tremble at the mere thought of the name Gojo Yoru.
If I were to face Gojo Yoru directly, I would probably tremble with fear and be intimidated before even engaging in battle.
Loess is no exception.
As if sensing Huang Tu's feelings, Onoki couldn't help but scold, "You brat, you're not needed on the front lines, what are you afraid of? With your mentality, forget about becoming a true Jonin, Old Xi even wants to demote you to Genin. You don't even have the courage to face the enemy head-on, what qualifications do you have to command a squad in battle?"
"Dad, I'm sorry."
Huang Tu lowered his head in shame.
"What's so great about defeating Sanshoba Hanzo one-on-one?" Onoki continued irritably. "If Hanzo hadn't summoned that Sanshoba, his only commendable skills would have been Water Release and Body Flicker Technique. In a one-on-one fight against the old master, he couldn't even touch the hem of the old master's clothes. He would have had to run away just as badly."
"That kid was able to defeat him simply because he had an intelligence advantage. Hanzo was already severely injured before he could even destroy his gas mask."
Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Onoki instantly understood what Sansho Hanzo meant, and said meaningfully, "Moreover, in this battle, whether that brat wins or Hanzo wins, no one will die. They dare not kill each other."
"That Hanzo guy, or more accurately, the Land of Rain, can't withstand this level of attrition warfare anymore; he's wanted to withdraw for a long time."
"The reason I went to fight that brat before leaving was probably to find a way to save face, but I didn't expect it to benefit both him and us."
"Us?" Huang Tu was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with doubt.
"That's good news for us." Onoki's eyes showed a hint of apprehension. "That technique is too fast and too powerful. If it's used in conjunction with the Flying Thunder God Technique, even Old Sean might fall victim to the First Encounter Kill."
"However, now that information about this technique has been exposed, we can think about the worst-case scenario and prepare accordingly."
"This technique is very likely no longer the Black Lightning Secret Technique, but rather the Lightning Release: Lightning Shot."
"This brat has become as troublesome as the Third Raikage. The difference is that the Third Raikage doesn't have the strongest shield and the strongest spear, but he doesn't have the Flying Thunder God Technique with its super-long-range teleportation. We can use the 'Talented Tactics' to deal with him."
"This brat, though lacking the strongest shield, possesses attack methods no less powerful than the strongest spear, as well as the Flying Thunder God Technique that allows him to escape at any time. He cannot be dealt with using any tactics; the only way is to create traps to catch him off guard."
After saying that, Onoki crossed his arms and closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Huang Tu didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear of swearing an oath to his own father.
After an unknown amount of time, Onoki Kakeru slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Flying Thunder God Technique, ninjutsu and taijutsu of the Lightning Release school, as well as Black Lightning Secret Technique and lightning of Storm Release, and special techniques for perfectly concealing chakra. The three major types of ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu, this kid's ninjutsu and taijutsu have reached an extremely high level, but he has never used genjutsu."
"He may not be good at Yin Release and perception. This can be seen from the fact that he and his two disciples, Sarutobi Hizan, were beaten so badly by Hanzo that they had to flee in disarray and could not find Hanzo's true form at all."
At this point, Onoki's eyes suddenly turned wary again: "But his growth rate is just too amazing. If we continue to let him grow, this weakness may be made up for."
"We cannot back down; we must intensify our offensive and force that brat onto this front, thus creating an opportunity to eliminate him. Otherwise, when he comes of age, he might become the second Sansho Hanzo, and no one will be able to do anything to him."
Onoki made a decision immediately.
