"—Rasengan!"
Another round of survival exercise.
Using the dust and mist kicked up by Uzumaki Kushina's Wind Release as cover, Gojo Yoru threw several kunai at Orochimaru.
Although slightly obscured, Orochimaru easily dodged the kunai attack.
The next second, however, his pupils constricted tightly.
Gojo Yoru's figure had appeared in front of Orochimaru without warning, holding a blue-white energy sphere in his hand, stopping just a few centimeters from Orochimaru's stomach.
For the first time, Orochimaru broke out in a cold sweat.
At the same time, his eyes were full of surprise: "You've learned the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"Actually, I learned this technique the day we came back." Gojo Yoru chuckled lightly, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear, slamming the Rasengan into a large tree, instantly blasting it apart.
Watching the tree fall and dust fly, Orochimaru felt a rare twinge of envy and murmured, "Is this the Flying Thunder God Technique? No wonder Sarutobi-sensei is so eager to see this technique reappear. It's truly terrifying."
When Orochimaru was young, neither the First Hokage nor the Second Hokage had died yet.
But by the time he could stand on his own, Konoha had long entered the era of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He had never seen Wood Release or the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Experiencing the power of the Flying Thunder God Technique for the first time, Orochimaru finally understood the might of space-time and why Tokiya was minced before he could even react.
Knowing that Gojo Yoru wanted to hide his Space-Time Kekkei Genkai and definitely wouldn't use space-time power in a survival exercise, Orochimaru was a bit careless just now and didn't notice anything wrong with the kunai at all.
If Gojo Yoru had pressed the Rasengan forward just now, even Orochimaru wouldn't have been able to react.
That warning-less flash and the hand-seal-less Ninjutsu with almost zero startup time were simply an enemy's nightmare.
Moreover, Orochimaru knew that Gojo Yoru had an even stronger move, the Dimensional Slash, which was the killing move that matched best with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Anyone who didn't have intelligence on this beforehand would face certain death against Gojo Yoru's combo.
Gojo Yoru returned to Orochimaru and asked with a smile, "Orochimaru-sensei, how was my performance this time? I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
"More than just not disappointing. In terms of combat, I have nothing left to teach you." Orochimaru smiled. "In the future, your combat style and tactics can revolve around the Flying Thunder God Technique. Whether pairing it with the Rasengan, the Chakra blade, or Sealing Jutsu... you can catch enemies off guard!"
"I still have many things to learn from you, Orochimaru-sensei." Gojo Yoru smiled humbly.
"Of course, I still have quite a few things to teach you as well." Orochimaru smiled. "Although your trump cards and the Flying Thunder God Technique are very powerful, capable of ambushing anyone who doesn't have intelligence on you in a life-and-death battle, if someone manages to escape, intelligence on you will spread throughout the Ninja World at the fastest speed."
"By then, it won't be so easy for you to achieve the kind of instant kill you did in the Land of Rain."
"They will quickly find your weaknesses to counter you, and once they make a move, they will definitely be fully prepared."
"Your Chakra isn't strong enough to break free from powerful Genjutsu instantly. Powerful Genjutsu users can use various incredible methods to trap you in an illusion world without you knowing. Like the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan; just one look can pull you into a Genjutsu world, even creating the illusion that you've already dispelled the Genjutsu."
"Moreover, this clan's eyes can use the Sharingan to cast binding techniques like the Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique, which is equally hard to guard against."
"Like Phantom Rain Tokiya you faced before, he could cast Genjutsu through rain and the sound of rain."
"Your attacks must be close-range to be fatal, and getting close often gives others the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. So, you must strengthen this weakness against Genjutsu as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Gojo Yoru immediately asked humbly, "Orochimaru-sensei, do you have any suggestions?"
Uzumaki Kushina, who came to Gojo Yoru's side, also obediently didn't interrupt the two.
"To strengthen resistance against Genjutsu, you must first understand the principle of Genjutsu."
Orochimaru led Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina to sit under a tree and began to give them a lesson, speaking slowly: "Genjutsu is a technique activated using Yin Release Chakra. Its effect is to control the Chakra flow in the enemy's cranial nerves, thereby achieving mental attacks, illusion construction, confusion, hypnosis, and so on..."
"However, no matter what type of Genjutsu, invisible Yin Release Chakra must infiltrate the enemy's brain through the five senses."
"So, the most common types of Genjutsu are only five: visual, olfactory, auditory, gustatory, and tactile."
"If someone could seal off their five senses, they could basically be immune to all mainstream Genjutsu, but that is obviously impossible."
"So, to counter Genjutsu, there is only one method: disrupt the Chakra in your own body so that the Genjutsu user cannot control the Chakra in your cranial nerves."
At this point, Orochimaru suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you know who is the strongest in the Ninja World right now?"
"Uh, isn't the Hokage the strongest?" Uzumaki Kushina said blankly.
Even living overseas, she knew that the Land of Fire and Konoha were the strongest country and village in the Ninja World. As the leader of the strongest ninja village, the Hokage should be the strongest.
"The Hokage is indeed the strongest, but strongest in Ninjutsu." Orochimaru smiled. "Currently in the entire Ninja World, no one's understanding and application of Five Elements Ninjutsu is stronger than the Hokage."
"But in terms of individual strength, the Hokage is not the strongest."
Orochimaru began to educate the two: "In this era, there are six existences standing at the pinnacle of the Ninja World. They are the current Five Kage and Hanzo the Salamander of Amegakure."
"Among them, four are recognized as the strongest."
"They are the Hokage, strongest in Five Elements Ninjutsu; Hanzo the Salamander, strongest in strategic deterrence; the Third Tsuchikage, strongest in aerial threat; and the one strongest in individual ability... the Third Raikage."
Orochimaru said faintly, "The Hokage masters the nature transformations of the Five Elements Ninjutsu and can merge five nature transformations to release composite Ninjutsu, very powerful; Hanzo the Salamander's summoning beast, the Salamander, possesses the most terrifying poison ability in the Ninja World. Combined with Hanzo's strength, one man and one beast can fight a country alone; the Third Tsuchikage masters the Kekkei Tota Dust Release formed by the fusion of three nature transformations, capable of decomposing everything it touches into an atomic state, and also has Iwagakure's Earth Release: Lightened Boulder Jutsu for flight, making him invincible in aerial combat."
"But in terms of individual ability, only the Third Raikage is called the strongest. Do you know why?"
Uzumaki Kushina shook her head blankly.
Gojo Yoru understood Orochimaru's meaning, his eyes lighting up: "Orochimaru-sensei, do you mean... Lightning Release?"
"Correct." Orochimaru nodded with a smile. "The Third Raikage is very strong, known as the man with the strongest offense, defense, and speed. Rumor has it he can fight the Eight-Tails to a draw. No Ninjutsu can break his defense, and even Genjutsu is ineffective against him."
"Such a powerful person has no Kekkei Genkai, no Kekkei Tota, and doesn't even need a summoning beast. He only excels in Kumogakure's Lightning Release Nintaijutsu."
"You don't need to cultivate Lightning Release to his level. You just need to master Lightning Release and use Lightning Release Chakra to keep the Chakra in your body constantly disrupted. This can strengthen your resistance to Genjutsu and further increase your speed."
Pointing at Gojo Yoru, Orochimaru said, "So your next stage is to train in Lightning Release nature transformation."
