The Minato-version of the Flying Thunder God Technique!?
Nara Keisuke, having sent Minato off, sat alone in his tent and inspected the new S-rank scroll.
'It really is the improved version!'
[Flying Thunder God Technique: Sword of Ninja Love Version]
The specific effect of this S-rank jutsu was no different from Tobirama's: place a mark, teleport to it. However, as someone who had used the original, Keisuke could immediately see the two critical improvements Minato had made.
First was the mark itself. The Second Hokage's mark was a simple, spider-like symbol. Minato's was the four kanji for "Sword of Ninja Love," which was actually a single, complex sealing formula.
Second was the chakra cost. Compared to the original, Minato's version was far more efficient. This meant more uses and a massive increase in tactical value.
But the most important part was the mark. It was the true core of the technique. Minato's version, being a complex sealing formula, could hold far more chakra than the original. From a sensor's perspective, the more chakra in the mark, the farther away it could be sensed.
For example, when Keisuke had traveled to the Kumo camp, he had to have his clone leave a series of markers along the way, making several short "jumps." This was purely because Tobirama's mark couldn't hold enough chakra for him to sense it from a great distance.
But now, with this new version, he could leave a mark in the Kumo camp and teleport there directly from Konoha in a single jump. His mobility had just been upgraded to the trans-national level. He could be at his research base one second and the front lines the next.
He was incredibly satisfied. He had been planning to improve the jutsu himself, but his own sealing knowledge was a patchwork, unlike Minato, who had the "dowry" of Kushina Uzumaki's entire clan library to draw from. Now, he had the upgrade.
'Of course, 'Sword of Ninja Love' is Minato's signature. I should probably modify it into my own special version...' he thought, adding it to his research list. 'I can't believe I got the upgraded Flying Thunder God before I even got the upgraded Rasengan... As expected of the Little Sun! This is the ideal win-win. He wins once, and I win twice!'
He sealed the scroll away, left instructions for his clone, and then immediately headed for the hot spring to begin his next project: the fusion of [Body Pathway Derangement] and [Lightning Release Chakra Mode].
At the simple base, Keisuke created his clones and laid out the research scrolls.
"A Yang Release Chakra Mode... a special mode for the body... I can also add my new [Super-Smell] to it to enhance my senses... and the [Bringer-of-Darkness Technique] to seal the enemy's vision... No, let's perfect the base model first."
The fusion was easier than he'd imagined. He just had to channel the "electronized Yang chakra" from [Body Pathway Derangement] and run it through the pathways of the [Lightning Release Chakra Mode].
Several days passed. He successfully combined the two, naming the new technique—
[A-Rank Technique: Yang Release Chakra Mode]
[Description: An ultra-high-level Yang Release secret art that activates the flesh and raises physical constitution!]
[Effect: Converts Yang Release chakra into an electrical field, spreading it throughout the body to activate all cells, slowly increasing the user's life-constitution, nerve conduction speed, and physical strength.]
[Evaluation: Golden-Yellow Ripple Overdrive!]
Crackle...
Keisuke clenched his fist. Faint, golden arcs of electricity wreathed his arm, making the air pop. The golden light quickly spread, enveloping his entire body in a radiant glow.
"My version definitely looks more like a Super Saiyan than those Kumo muscle-heads!"
He closed his eyes, maintaining the new mode, and felt his billions of cells cheering as the Yang-electrons activated and strengthened them. A notification popped up.
[Receiving energy from [Yang Release Chakra Mode]... Your [Strength], [Speed], and [Precision] stats have been increased...]
[[Strength]/[Speed]/[Precision] +1]
"Oh, not bad!" His eyes lit up. He deactivated the mode and checked his consumption.
"Without an external source, just using my own body's energy... I can probably run this mode long enough to add about 20 points to all three stats, every single day. This will skyrocket my [Strength] and [Speed] growth, and, most importantly, my [Precision] growth will nearly double!"
He was extremely satisfied. The only problem was the "logic loop": he needed a high [Precision] stat (stamina) to run the mode 24/7, but he created the mode to get a high [Precision] stat. The solution, of course, was an external battery. 'I need to find more Chakra Crystals...'
He packed up his research, said goodbye to Kokuō, and returned to the Konoha camp. Several days had passed, but the camp was unchanged. He was surprised, however, to see that Minato and Kagami were still there.
It turned out Kumo had been completely silent for days. This was so out of character that Hiruzen and Shikaku feared they were planning a massive, secret counter-offensive. As a result, the Hokage had kept Minato and Kagami on the front as a deterrent.
Keisuke, knowing full well that Kumo was silent because his puppet-Raikage was stalling for "peace talks," was internally amused. He put on a serious, concerned face for Shikaku, then promptly returned to his own tent to rest.
The stalemate, which Konoha was so afraid of, was finally broken. That night, in the Kumo camp...
"Nara-Raikage" sat in his tent, looking at the white figure emerging from the floor.
'I've got you now...' he thought, his eyes glinting.
'Tobi!
