Unexpected Visitor
Flying Thunder God Technique!
It could be said to be a bug-level skill in Naruto, with enormous potential for development. Compared to Obito’s Sharingan, each had its own strengths.
During the Nine-Tails incident, the Fourth Hokage had defeated Obito.
If Xu Yue possessed both of Obito’s eyes, Flying Thunder God would not be quite so important, since their functions overlapped.
But Xu Yue only had Kakashi’s eye, while Obito’s eye was exceedingly difficult to obtain.
Under such circumstances, Flying Thunder God was undoubtedly a technique Xu Yue valued greatly. It had originally been one of his major goals for entering the Naruto World this time.
But under normal circumstances, obtaining Flying Thunder God would truly be enough to give Xu Yue a headache.
Given the Mission Space’s nature, if he did not obtain it by completing a mission, then even if he found a way to get it, the price would surely be exorbitant.
His original plan had been to build goodwill with Minato Namikaze and see whether he could obtain it through missions from him, perhaps at a reduced price.
But that would take time and effort, and it would also disrupt his pace somewhat.
Now that he had picked up a super mission from Scorpion for free, Xu Yue naturally would not let this opportunity pass.
"Flying Thunder God Technique? With your merits, you can indeed obtain it. However, this technique is extremely difficult to learn. You must possess sufficient spatial perception."
Tsunade was somewhat surprised by Xu Yue’s request. She rather appreciated that he had asked for a ninjutsu instead of power or benefits.
Young people needed this kind of ambition.
Status should be earned through one’s own strength!
But Tsunade was also well aware of the difficulty of Flying Thunder God Technique.
Konoha had so many elites and geniuses, yet even now, only her second grandfather and Jiraiya’s disciple had managed it.
"I believe I can do it," Xu Yue said firmly.
Kamui itself possessed spatial attributes, and he constantly traveled back and forth through the Mission Space. As for the prerequisites for learning it, he definitely met them.
And most importantly, this Flying Thunder God Technique was the reward for his major mission this time!
That was why Xu Yue had chosen Flying Thunder God without hesitation!
If he gained it by building goodwill with the Fourth Hokage, he might have to slowly progress from unfamiliarity to proficiency.
For something like Flying Thunder God that involved instant movement, if he was unfamiliar with it, it would be better to rely directly on high-speed taijutsu.
That was why he wanted to use this major mission to raise it in one go!
Even if Scorpion had not been in proper condition, he had fought a Kage-level powerhouse and seized the Third Kazekage’s corpse. For a mission capable of influencing the course of the battlefield, it would be absurd if it could not raise Flying Thunder God’s proficiency.
The Mission Space might be a damn scam, but one could not deny that as long as you paid the price, you could grow stronger…
Xu Yue’s Wood Clone was diligently practicing kunai throwing in the training ground. Whether the targets were moving or stationary, it achieved an exceptionally high hit rate.
This attracted the attention and astonishment of many Reincarnators in the cannon fodder camp.
"He’s that newcomer who snuck in, right? I heard this is only his first mission."
"Damn, he already has this level of throwing proficiency on his first mission? Is he cheating?"
"I heard he has connections with Captain Chu. Seems he was already with the Beiyang Army before he came in."
"That’s really enviable."
"If I had his foundation, I’d definitely do better than him. Why learn throwing techniques? How shallow."
"Exactly. The most distinctive things in the Ninja War are ninjutsu and Chakra. He’s focusing on the wrong thing."
Since Xu Yue had let his Wood Clone reveal its "true" identity, he naturally could not have it disappear from time to time. And since he had summoned the Wood Clone, Xu Yue had no intention of wasting it.
There was not much else it could practice, so naturally, it practiced kunai-throwing proficiency. Once he obtained Flying Thunder God Technique, it would be a tragedy if his kunai throwing was poor.
He had specifically practiced the basics of throwing in the training space. Although he had not learned a specialized skill, he had still mastered it fairly well.
Now that he displayed it as a newcomer, it naturally drew widespread surprise.
Quite a few people also spoke with a sour note of jealousy.
"Hmph, he’s just timid and afraid of trouble. What kind of man is that?"
A cold voice rang out, and the area suddenly fell silent. Eunuch Gao, whom Bao Ji had insulted before, rarely even showed his face now. No one wanted to provoke her.
Her fiery figure and gorgeous appearance had drawn many furtive gazes.
Quite a few people were even secretly delighted, seemingly believing that this newcomer had somehow angered this formidable woman.
"Not a man?"
Xu Yue looked at the woman in her tight-fitting outfit, her entire body radiating mysterious allure, with an ambiguous smile. His four-word retort instantly choked her half to death.
"All right, Miss Bao Ji, you should be more generous and understanding toward newcomers. Throwing techniques are also a useful skill for a newcomer. Grappling hooks and Explosive Tags can both make use of them, and it makes it easier for him to integrate into the team. After all, he’s medical support personnel."
Fortunately, the plump Chu Yingxiong appeared just then. Since he had taken a slight advantage of Xu Yue during that B-rank mission, he stepped in to support him.
What he did not realize was that he had actually helped Bao Ji out of an awkward situation.
As the woman breathed a sigh of relief, she shot Xu Yue a vicious glare. What rotten luck. The meat she had not even managed to feed to the golden turtle had been handed to this brat for nothing.
A method that had never failed her had actually become useless on him. She had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to bait it.
"Now, I have good news for everyone. Our camp only has one main mission remaining. After completing it, you may apply to take on other types of logistical missions."
Chu Yingxiong had not come merely to help Xu Yue out. He had come to deliver important news.
Once he finished speaking, the crowd was briefly stunned before a wave of excited voices erupted.
"The last one?"
"Haha, we finally made it through! I’ve already completed my mission, so why have I kept being sent to the front lines?"
"Ah? I still haven’t killed a Reincarnator. What do I do?"
"Me too…"
"…"
A chaotic mixture of laughter and tears filled the camp. Looking carefully, Xu Yue realized that compared to when they had first arrived, fewer than a third of the Reincarnators remained.
The much thinner ranks displayed the cruelty of the battlefield, as well as the cruelty of the Promotion Mission.
"Only one deployment mission left? Looks like I’ll have to complete my Promotion Mission during this mission as well."
Although Xu Yue had accomplished something major, his Promotion Mission had undoubtedly not been completed. He had only fulfilled the Reincarnator quota and still needed to make up the rest.
"The cannon fodder genin deemed to have no further potential only have one mission left. Has Tsunade already prepared to use the Third Kazekage’s corpse to make a major move?"
The battlefield between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire had now reached its most intense stage. From either side’s perspective, it seemed both were prepared for a prolonged all-out war.
Based on the progression in the plot, could it be that Konoha had already vaguely obtained some intelligence and wanted to set a trap?
But according to the Mission Space’s plot inertia, that important event should definitely still occur…
"Um, Captain Chu, I’d like to go to the battlefield too. Would that be possible?"
After figuring something out, Xu Yue raised his hand weakly.
"You? You’re still too—"
Before Chu Yingxiong could finish speaking with a frown, cheers and cries of amazement came from beyond the camp, interrupting him.
Among the faint cheers, they could make out:
The Yellow Flash has arrived…
