Chapter 123 Obtaining the Flying Thunder God Technique

After learning about Uchiha Touha's request, Orochimaru showed a bit of distress on his face for the first time:

"The Second Hokage? Feiyu, it's not that I'm reluctant. Well, I am a little reluctant. Not only that, if you want him to help you, you have to ask the Second Hokage's own wishes."

After hearing this, Uchiha Feiyu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Orochimaru:
"Teacher Orochimaru, don't tell me that you didn't put the Second Hokage in the coffin, but let him out!"

Orochimaru showed an awkward smile on his face and said:
"It was a little unexpected... I didn't expect that the former Second Hokage would have a back-up plan to counter the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

"When he was alive, he considered that his grave would be dug up and reincarnated after his death. This Second Hokage... is really far-sighted."

"To be honest, when the Second Hokage escaped from the Impure World Reincarnation, I thought we would have to fight him, but in the end we still lived in peace."

The corner of Uchiha Feiyu's mouth twitched slightly. The second generation Hokage of Konoha was almost a breath of fresh air in Konoha Village.

It's not that he is so bright, great, upright and selfless, but the Second Hokage is a true hero, and he treats things like the Will of Fire as just a facade.

In Konoha, a village that pursues ideals, dreams, and world peace, the second generation Hokage pursues naked interests and reality.

Given the Second Hokage's personality, it did not surprise Uchiha Hiruzen that he could get along well with Orochimaru - to put it bluntly, if Orochimaru had been born more than ten years earlier, the position of the Third Hokage would definitely not have been taken by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In essence, Orochimaru is like a failed second-generation Hokage. The personalities of the two are not exactly the same, but they are at least 80% similar.

The difference is that the second Hokage had an invincible and kind-hearted elder brother who later inherited the position of Hokage, while Orochimaru only had a hypocritical, stubborn and slow-moving Hokage teacher, who eventually tricked him into defecting from Konoha.

However, there is one thing that puzzles Uchiha Feiyu:
"Given the Second Hokage's personality, it's normal for him to get along with you, but you're a traitor ninja from Konoha, can he forgive you for that?"

"And after the Second Hokage recovered, didn't he go back to Konoha?"

"Haha, well..."

Orochimaru smiled and said:
"The reason why the Second Hokage stayed to help me instead of returning to Konoha is, of course, because he also wants to be resurrected!"

"And the Undead Reincarnation that combines the Lich Reincarnation Ritual is the best choice for his resurrection!"

After hearing this, Uchiha Feiyu was also stunned. He didn't expect that the current Second Generation Hokage would also be eyeing this soul reincarnation ninjutsu like Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's original Reincarnation Technique had many flaws and could only be performed by living people, because the souls of living people and dead people are different, with the difference between living souls and dead souls.

But there is no need to worry about so many things when a lich is reincarnated. The reincarnated lich itself is an undead creature, so naturally both the living soul and the dead soul can be used.

In addition, in this world, the barrier between life and death is extremely easy to break. With a living body, it is also easy to transform a dead soul into a living soul. Resurrection is definitely not a delusion.

It is for this reason that the Second Hokage started the research on soul ninjutsu with Orochimaru. He is now a reincarnated body, and even if he returns to Konoha, he cannot appear openly. But if he is reincarnated as a living person, he can naturally take charge of Konoha again.

"And the Second Hokage also promised me that as long as he becomes Hokage, I can also rejoin Konoha. Not only will there be no restrictions, but all kinds of funds and research results will be open to me."

This condition seems to be no different from the result if Orochimaru stayed in Konoha. After all, given Orochimaru's situation at the time, even if he could not become Hokage, he could still become a Danzo.

The only difference is that Orochimaru's immediate superior has changed from the Third Hokage to the Second Hokage.

All we can say is that these crazy scientists actually understand each other's needs better. Maybe Orochimaru believes that working under the Second Hokage is definitely better than working under the Third Hokage?
However, Uchiha Feiyu believes that these two people are now pretending to be friendly and are coveting each other's research results. They will definitely fall out in the future. They are just in the honeymoon period now.

"Tsk... Well, it seems that it will be difficult for me to invite the great Second Hokage."

"But... Mr. Orochimaru, you should be careful. After all, I heard that the Second Hokage, well, looks a lot like you."

Uchiha Feiyu sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had no way of getting the soul of Konoha's number one forbidden technique master.

As for whether these two people will finally live in peace? Uchiha Feiyu is pessimistic about this. The two old bastards are probably thinking of taking advantage of each other and then stabbing each other.

But this has nothing to do with me. If I think about it carefully, the Second Hokage and Orochimaru are both research-oriented ninjas. They can create endless forbidden ninjutsu while they are alive. From this aspect, it is more beneficial than simply obtaining the soul of a Second Hokage.

As for whether he could defeat the Second Hokage, Uchiha Feiyu still had some confidence. Even if Senju Tobirama's sense of justice was stronger than Orochimaru's, it was not much stronger.

The most important thing is... I also know the magic of divine power and illusion!
Orochimaru was his teacher after all. Although he and this cheap teacher were using each other, he had never done anything to let him down.

Judging from actions rather than intentions, from the perspective of a teacher alone, Orochimaru has been good enough to him, so Uchiha Feiyu would not directly control him with an illusion.

The second generation Hokage was different. Uchiha Feiyu didn't know this guy anyway. If he really had any ideas at that time, Uchiha Feiyu would just brainwash him with a Dushen Jue and that would be it.

However, the Second Hokage has not been resurrected yet. Uchiha Feiyu is not quite sure what effect the illusion has in the Impure World Reincarnation state. Let's wait until the Second Hokage is resurrected to talk about these things.

"I can't invite anyone here, so can you give me the Flying Thunder God Technique? I've been coveting this ninjutsu for a long time!"

Unable to invite anyone for the time being, Uchiha Feiyu estimated that the Second Hokage didn't want to see him, after all, he was an "evil Uchiha", so he had to settle for the next best thing. The Flying Thunder God Technique required extremely high talent, but Uchiha Feiyu was very confident in himself now. He used the Heaven Devouring Demon Technique to absorb the physical fitness of so many ninjas. No matter what talent he had in ninjutsu, Uchiha Feiyu was definitely outstanding.

Although the talent for time and space is rare in the ninja world, in fact, most ninjas still have some of it. If one really has no talent for time and space at all, he probably wouldn't even be able to use telepathic techniques.

After absorbing so much ninja physique, Uchiha Feiyu's talent in time and space is definitely far beyond that of ordinary ninjas, so it should be no problem for him to learn Flying Thunder God.

"Flying Thunder God Technique? I do have it here, but it's only the original version. Jiraiya's apprentice later improved the Flying Thunder God Technique, and I don't have it on hand."

Orochimaru nodded. For Orochimaru, whose dream was to study all the ninjutsu in the world, he would naturally not miss out on the space-time ninjutsu of Flying Thunder God. As for the problem that he had no talent for space-time now - wouldn't he be able to learn Flying Thunder God when he got a talented body?
"The original version? Never mind. It's enough. At least it can be used for traveling and emergency."

The biggest difference between the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique and Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique is that Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique can jump continuously in a very short period of time, which can be regarded as a flash method without any restrictions.

The Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, requires a certain cool-down time after being cast. Although the cool-down time is only a few seconds, it has greatly downgraded the Flying Thunder God Technique, which relies entirely on speed. It has been downgraded from a flash skill that can be used in actual combat to a sneak attack skill of the first sight type.

However, Uchiha Feiyu's covetousness for the Flying Thunder God Technique was more due to its extreme mobility, and he did not care too much about the lack of combat effectiveness of the first generation version.

Anyway, with Uchiha Toba's strength, even without using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he can sweep the entire ninja world today. Therefore, Namikaze Minato's version of the Flying Thunder God Technique would naturally be icing on the cake for him, but it wouldn't have any impact if he didn't have it.

Orochimaru ordered his men to bring a sealed scroll, and after removing the seal, he gave it to Uchiha Toba. This was the Flying Thunder God Technique in his hand.

After opening the scroll and reading it, Uchiha Feiyu nodded:

"Sure enough... this Flying Thunder God Technique is closely related to the summoning technique. To some extent, the Flying Thunder God Technique is a remote-controlled reverse summoning technique."

Orochimaru shook his head:
"The principle is indeed very simple, but there are only a few ninjas in the entire ninja world who have this kind of time and space talent and perception ability."

"I have also studied this space-time ninjutsu, but unfortunately I have never been able to master it. Without sufficient space-time talent... uh uh uh!! I have really seen the Sage of Six Paths!!"

Uchiha Feiyu casually took out a kunai, and a strange curse seal crawled onto the kunai. He threw it casually, and the kunai flew more than ten meters away, and then he appeared next to the kunai in a flash.

This is too fast, too smooth! Orochimaru was stunned when he saw his apprentice master the Flying Thunder God Technique in an instant.

There is no way. This is what a good foundation means. Having absorbed the different physiques of a large number of ninjas and borrowing the ninja souls to lay a solid foundation, Uchiha Feiyu's talent in ninjutsu is almost astonishing. Any ninjutsu is not difficult for him at all.

Although the Flying Thunder God Technique is the most difficult and obscure space-time ninjutsu, it can never exceed the range of the changes in the form and properties of chakra, so it was naturally easily learned by Uchiha Feiyu.

It took Orochimaru a long time to calm himself down, and then he said goodbye to his cheap apprentice. He was too stimulated, and Orochimaru planned to study the reincarnation technique as soon as possible, get a stronger body and improve his strength again.

After obtaining the Flying Thunder God Technique from Orochimaru, Uchiha Toba left a Flying Thunder God Mark, then took Orochimaru's information scroll and went to Konoha.

Orochimaru grew up in Konoha for 30 years, and various influences were deeply rooted in him. Before leaving Konoha, he was almost recognized as the next generation Hokage, and had contacts with all the ninja families.

Even if such a person defected from Konoha, the Third Hokage would not be able to wipe out all his subordinates in one fell swoop - if he really did that, the entire Konoha would probably lose at least one-third of its ninjas.

Not all of those ninjas were loyal to Orochimaru, but they all had close ties with him. After all, at that time he was recognized as the only candidate for the Fourth Hokage, and it was only natural for the ninjas to get closer to Orochimaru.

Unable to eliminate the influence of Orochimaru, the Third Hokage could only pretend to be magnanimous and not pursue any of Orochimaru's subordinate ninjas, hoping that time could heal everything.

Of course, only God and the earth know whether there is any idea of ​​waiting until after the war to settle the matter afterwards.

However, it is precisely because of this that Orochimaru has a lot of spies and informants in the Konoha Village. Although some ninjas are unwilling to accompany Orochimaru to defect from Konoha, there are too many ninjas who are willing to provide some intelligence and cover.

As a disciple of Orochimaru, Uchiha Feiyu was also a famous new generation Kage-level strongman in the entire Konoha. Just by showing his face, he was able to gain the trust of some of Orochimaru's former subordinates, not to mention that he also had Orochimaru's warrant.

After sneaking into Konoha silently, Uchiha Feiyu found Orochimaru's former subordinates and quickly understood the current situation on the Konoha front line.

I can only say... Konoha’s current situation is not good, very bad.

Faced with the absolute numerical advantage of the Iwagakure ninjas, Konoha had to deploy those young ninjas who had just turned ten to the front line. These young ninjas were very young, having just graduated from school and trained for half a year before going to the battlefield. The heavy casualties can be imagined.

This is the real future of Konoha. If Konoha can ignore its future and send the little ninja directly to the battlefield, then it will definitely be doomed if it doesn't fight hard.

Not only that, as the battle between Konoha and the Iwagakure gradually showed signs of decline, even the Cloud Ninja, which had been severely damaged, once again deployed heavy troops on the border between the two countries, forcing Konoha to allocate part of its forces for defense, which made it even more stretched.

Although the Cloud Ninja suffered heavy losses, theoretically it is impossible for them to participate in the Ninja World War again, otherwise one of the five major ninja villages might have collapsed.

But all the ninjas in the ninja world also know that the most famous ability of the Cloud Ninjas is their stubbornness. If these guys are willing to sacrifice their own ninja village to give Konoha a hard time, wouldn't Konoha be in trouble? Therefore, necessary precautions are of course indispensable.

In addition, the Mist Village, which had been isolated overseas and had not joined the Ninja World War, was also ready to move and had harassed Konoha's coastline many times. Faced with the harassment of the Mist Village, the exhausted Konoha could only continue to shrink its defense line, which made the ninjas of the Water Country even more rampant.
