Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: The Calm Before the Storm

"Yoru, does this kunai have any special abilities?"

At the dining table, Uzumaki Kushina brought breakfast to Gojo Yoru and poured him a glass of milk. She then sat opposite him, playing with the Flying Thunder God kunai in her hand while asking curiously.

"Yes, this is a Flying Thunder God kunai."

"Flying Thunder God kunai? What is its ability?"

Uzumaki Kushina, who grew up overseas, had clearly never heard of this technique's name.

After all, after Senju Tobirama died, the Flying Thunder God Technique, like Senju Hashirama's Wood Release, had become a legendary ability.

Swallowing the fried egg made by Uzumaki Kushina in one bite, Gojo Yoru licked the egg yolk from the corner of his mouth and explained with a smile, "Its ability is very simple. Just as I said earlier, as long as you carry this kunai with you, I can instantly appear by your side. This is a space-time ability."

"It's actually the legendary space-time ability?!"

Uzumaki Kushina finally widened her eyes, looking at the Flying Thunder God kunai in her hand in disbelief: "Besides storage scrolls and the Summoning Technique, there's actually a Ninjutsu that can mobilize space-time power? Incredible."

After examining the kunai closely, Uzumaki Kushina discovered the key point and couldn't help but ask Gojo Yoru, "Yoru, what's special isn't this kunai, but the formula on it, right?"

"Mhm, that formula is called the Flying Thunder God formula." Gojo Yoru nodded. "Just like storage scrolls, this is a product of Sealing Jutsu and space-time power. Its principle is also somewhat similar to the Summoning Technique, only what is summoned isn't a summoning beast, but me."

"So amazing. The person who invented this technique was truly a genius." Uzumaki Kushina sighed slightly.

Gojo Yoru smiled: "The inventor of this technique was the Second Hokage of Konoha."

"The Second Hokage? I remember this person seemed to have some relation to Mito-sama too..." Uzumaki Kushina pressed her temples with her fingers, looking as if she was thinking seriously.

Gojo Yoru wasn't surprised that she didn't know who the Second Hokage was.

In the original work's The Minato One-Shot, Uzumaki Kushina only vaguely remembered that Senju Hashirama was Uzumaki Mito's other half.

She even referred to him as "that person" instead of Hashirama-sama.

Clearly, she hadn't heard the stories of the God of Shinobi at all.

Seeing the girl thinking seriously but unable to recall anything, Gojo Yoru couldn't help but mock her again: "You don't even know the brother of the God of Shinobi and the founder of the Ninja Academy? You didn't just sleep at the Ninja Academy, did you, idiot Tomato-na!"

"Who says I don't know? I just couldn't remember for a moment." Uzumaki Kushina retorted angrily, raising her pink fist threateningly. "Breakfast can't shut your mouth, huh? Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death with one punch?"

Smack!

Gojo Yoru teleported over and slapped her, almost knocking Uzumaki Kushina into the dining table.

Uzumaki Kushina reacted and punched back, but hit nothing but air.

Gojo Yoru's figure had disappeared without warning, and then the sound of humming came from the room.

"Fine! So this is what you meant by giving me the kunai."

Uzumaki Kushina gritted her teeth but couldn't bear to throw away the Flying Thunder God kunai. Instead, she rushed into Gojo Yoru's room, determined to get even.

After some roughhousing, Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina sat on the sofa. The latter actively suggested, "Since your formula doesn't need to be attached to a kunai to work, why not leave a formula on my body? That would be more secure."

"No, the Flying Thunder God formula cannot be erased by conventional means. Even I can't erase it. It looks too ugly on the skin." Gojo Yoru shook his head and refused, then as if thinking of something, his eyes suddenly flashed.

Uzumaki Kushina didn't notice Gojo Yoru's change.

She actually quite liked Gojo Yoru's Flying Thunder God formula; the tomato pattern and the character for "Night" represented the symbols of the two of them.

If it were marked on her body, Uzumaki Kushina would only feel happy.

However, seeing Gojo Yoru so resistant, she didn't say anything more. Instead, she prepared to add some protection to this kunai and carry it with her.

Immediately, Uzumaki Kushina changed the subject and asked, "By the way, don't you need to train today?"

"Orochimaru-sensei gave me a week off. I plan to rest well these few days."

"Really? That's great." Uzumaki Kushina's eyes lit up immediately. "I've been improving my photography skills recently. Why don't we go out and take pictures?"

"Sure. I didn't have time to take pictures during this mission. When there's a chance in the future, I'll take you traveling and taking pictures." Gojo Yoru smiled.

"Okay, okay! Let's set off now."

Uzumaki Kushina was full of anticipation and couldn't wait to drag Gojo Yoru out.

For the next week, Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina visited the entire central street of Konoha, leaving photos at every beautiful spot.

However, when they tried to leave the central street to take pictures elsewhere, two masked Anbu would always appear using Body Flicker to stop them.

Gojo Yoru didn't have the idea of sneaking out of Konoha to leave a Flying Thunder God formula and then using the Flying Thunder God Technique to take Uzumaki Kushina away from Konoha.

Although this would shock Sarutobi Hiruzen and attract attention, it was meaningless.

Sarutobi Hiruzen would still talk to him and ask him not to take Uzumaki Kushina out of Konoha.

Whether as Sarutobi Hiruzen's grand-disciple or out of gratitude for the independent scroll of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Gojo Yoru needed to give face to this Third Hokage.

Before making a name for himself and making everyone dare not ignore his will, he could only let Uzumaki Kushina suffer a bit for now.

During this time, the situation in the Ninja World became tense.

The news of Hanzo the Salamander going to the Land of Iron finally spread throughout the Ninja World. It was said that a battle broke out with the samurai of the Land of Iron.

Everyone was worried that Hanzo the Salamander would subdue the Land of Iron by force, gaining the service of the samurai army, and then unite the Rain ninjas, who excelled at assassination, with the samurai.

If this really happened, that small place at the junction of three major powers would give birth to a massive force not inferior to the Five Great Ninja Villages.

With Hanzo the Salamander's ambition, he certainly wouldn't stop there; neighboring countries would all become his targets, including the major powers.

Thus, the three major powers of Fire, Wind, and Earth tacitly strengthened their border defenses.

Fortunately, in October, the Land of Iron declared to the outside world that no matter what difficulties they encountered, they would continue to maintain neutrality according to historical agreements.

And Hanzo the Salamander didn't seem to fly into a rage out of humiliation, attacking the Land of Iron alone or leading the Rain ninja army.

There must be an unknown story behind this.

With Hanzo the Salamander returning to Amegakure, the situation seemed to return to normal.

Only Gojo Yoru knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
