Naruto took Boruto to an open clearing by the river. He first activated Negative Emotions Sensing and Mind's Eye of the Kagura simultaneously, scanning the surrounding tens of kilometers carefully, and only retracted his perception after confirming there were no abnormal Chakra signals.
"Alright, Urashiki hasn't arrived yet, so I'll teach you personally during this time."
Upon hearing this, Boruto's eyes lit up. "Dad, are you going to teach me Light Release?"
"You know, the one where your whole body glows, you can fly, and you can shoot pew-pew-pew beams of light."
Naruto looked at Boruto's expectant face and shook his head. "Light Release requires the fusion of three types of nature transformation. Your elemental foundation isn't solid enough yet, and we're too pressed for time."
"I plan to teach you the Flying Thunder God Technique and Fuinjutsu. These two things were left behind by your grandfather and grandmother, learning them well is no worse than Light Release."
"It's not Light Release..." Boruto's shoulders slumped noticeably upon hearing this.
Naruto laughed at hia reaction and patted him on the back of the head. "Boruto, the Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time Ninjutsu. No matter how fast you are, there's always a path to follow. Even with the fastest Taijutsu or the fastest Body Flicker, you're essentially moving through space, and there's always a path from point A to point B."
"But the Flying Thunder God Technique is different. It disappears from one point in space and reappears at another, without needing to traverse any path in between."
"As long as your reaction speed is fast enough and you have enough markers placed, theoretically, you can be infinitely fast."
Infinitely fast?
Boruto's heart skipped a beat, and he put away the disappointment on his face.
"But Dad, I looked at Grandfather's Flying Thunder God Technique scroll, and it felt so difficult. Just understanding the seal diagrams was a struggle, not to mention the calculation formulas for the spatial coordinates."
Naruto patted Boruto on the shoulder. "The harder it is to learn, the more it proves how powerful the technique is. If anyone could learn it in three days, it wouldn't be called a forbidden technique."
"I'll demonstrate the complete Flying Thunder God Technique for you first, so you can see its combat effectiveness for yourself. After you see it, you can decide whether you want to learn it."
Boruto nodded.
Naruto pulled twenty Flying Thunder God kunai from his ninja tool pouch, holding them between his fingers as he flung them in all directions.
They scattered, embedding themselves into tree trunks, rocks, and mud around the clearing. In the blink of an eye, he had set up a Flying Thunder God Technique coordinate network covering various directions and distances around them.
After throwing the Kunai, he turned to look at Boruto and said, "Watch closely."
Naruto's figure disappeared from his original spot and the next moment, he appeared beside a Kunai nailed to a tree trunk ten meters to the left.
As soon as his toes touched the branch, he instantly vanished from it again, appearing in front of a Kunai on top of a rock to the right.
In the next second, his figure shuttled back and forth at high speed between the twenty coordinate points, with each flash seamlessly connected to the last.
Countless afterimages of Naruto appeared all around the clearing.
Boruto's head whipped back and forth, completely unable to keep up with Naruto's teleportation speed.
The next instant, a golden light flashed behind him. Before Boruto could react, a hand had already been placed on his shoulder.
"Whoa!"
Boruto jumped in fright, and when he turned around, he saw Naruto standing behind him.
"That's so cool. Dad, when did you get behind me? I didn't feel anything at all." Boruto scratched his head.
Naruto glanced at the pattern slowly fading into the skin on Boruto's shoulder, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his lips.
"Those were just the first and second stages of the Flying Thunder God Technique: point-to-point teleportation and continuous teleportation. There's a third stage, want to see it?"
"Yes, I want to see it." Boruto nodded.
A golden light flashed under Naruto's feet and he teleported to a Kunai nailed to a tree trunk on the other side of the clearing, turning to beckon Boruto.
"Hit me with your long-range attack. Go all out, don't hold back."
Boruto took a deep breath, a serious expression on his face. He opened his right hand in front of him, and a white sphere of Chakra rapidly condensed in his palm.
Unlike Naruto's Rasengan, the edges of Boruto's Rasengan carried a faint, translucent white glow, and the outline of the sphere fluctuated slightly, as if it could merge into the surrounding light at any moment.
"Dad, be careful, my Rasengan can disappear."
Saying this, Boruto threw the Rasengan in his hand towards Naruto.
After leaving his hand, the Rasengan flew seven meters in the air, and then the entire sphere suddenly vanished into thin air, leaving only a few faint white Chakra trails in the air.
Naruto raised his right hand and a spatial rune unfolded out of thin air in front of his palm. Immediately after, the Rasengan that had just disappeared suddenly burst out from an invisible node in space, crashing headlong into that spatial rune and being swallowed up completely.
At the same time, a dull explosion came from the trunk of a tree on the other side of the clearing. Boruto's Rasengan emerged from thin air right next to the Flying Thunder God kunai nailed to the tree trunk, slamming into the wood.
"What?! How did my Rasengan hit that tree?"
Boruto looked at the shattered tree trunk in the distance, then back at the rune slowly dissipating in front of Naruto, his mouth wide open.
Then he noticed the Flying Thunder God kunai still trembling slightly on the tree trunk, and immediately realized what had happened.
"I get it, Dad. You used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer my Rasengan to that tree."
"Not bad. This is the third stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique: Guiding Thunder."
Naruto gave Boruto an approving look. "The three stages you just saw—fixed-point, teleportation, continuous teleportation, and attack redirection, are the three core applications of the Flying Thunder God Technique in actual combat."
"Teleporting to a Kunai is just the most basic usage. In higher-level applications, you can even bounce an enemy's attack back onto them. Not only can you redirect a Rasengan, but with proper handling, you can even send a Tailed Beast Ball right back the way it came."
"So amazing!" Boruto exclaimed.
"Alright, the demonstration ends here. Next, I'll teach you the first step: how to sense spatial coordinates."
"Sit down."
Boruto sat on the ground, hands resting on his knees, listening with full attention as Naruto explained the introductory method of spatial sensing for the Flying Thunder God Technique.
On the other side.
Sasuke sat cross-legged by the embers of the campfire, eyes closed, recovering Chakra.
Previously, in the battle against Urashiki, he had been hooked by Urashiki's fishing rod, and his Chakra had been drained, leaving him in a state of semi-depletion.
The Chakra within his body was recovering at an extremely slow pace. The Rinnegan consumed too much Chakra, making recovery slow by nature, and combined with the battle in the space-time tunnel, it would be fortunate if he could recover to seventy percent before Urashiki arrived.
