"Satoru, won't you really consider the name I came up with?"
On the way back, Minato Namikaze looked sincere as he kept repeating the same sentence.
It wasn't because he was thick - skinned. He anticipated that this ninjutsu would become well - known in the ninja world in the future. It would be a lifelong regret if his suggested name couldn't be used.
"No way!"
Satoru Hyūga's voice was decisive.
Come on! If that name were really adopted, he'd probably never be able to show his face in public again.
"That Magnet Release Light..."
Minato Namikaze immediately spoke up.
"It's Magnet Release Light Wheel Gale Thunderbolt Arrow Zero - Style. Isn't it a great name?"
Satoru Hyūga's face stiffened, and he said helplessly.
"Only you can remember it."
"But..."
Changing the subject, he flashed a faint smile and looked at Minato Namikaze.
"If you agree to one of my conditions, it's okay to use that name."
"What condition?"
"Teach me Flying Thunder God."
Huh?
Minato Namikaze was instantly stunned.
Then his face became conflicted.
"It's not that I don't want to teach you. I've also noticed how terrifying the combination of your ninjutsu and Flying Thunder God is. However..."
He hesitated for a moment and said in a slightly deep voice.
"Flying Thunder God is an S - class forbidden ninjutsu recorded in the Sealed Book. I don't have the right to teach it to you on my own."
"If you really want to learn, you can first exchange for the cultivation method from the Sealed Book, and then I'll teach you the corresponding skills."
Satoru Hyūga nodded.
Indeed, the great ninja villages had very strict control over ninjutsu, especially forbidden ninjutsu recorded in the Sealed Book. The consequences of private transmission were very serious.
"But..."
Minato Namikaze hesitated and added another sentence.
"Satoru, the Hokage should be aware of how well your abilities match Flying Thunder God. Your achievements in the war should be enough to exchange for a chance to view the Scroll of Seals."
"So don't worry. At most, it'll be a little later, but you'll still be able to get the cultivation method."
Although he said so, Minato Namikaze didn't hold much hope in his heart.
Getting the cultivation method was one thing, but whether one could learn it was another.
It can be said that, apart from the creator, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, no one in the ninja world is more familiar with this ninjutsu than him.
In terms of principle, Flying Thunder God isn't complicated at all. It's actually quite simple, similar to a complex version of the Reverse Summoning Technique.
However, the requirements for cultivation aptitude are extremely high.
From its development until now, only he and Tobirama Senju have mastered it.
As for whether Satoru Hyūga has the aptitude, he's still skeptical.
Satoru Hyūga doesn't care at all.
Anyway, learning Flying Thunder God is already on his must - do list.
At the Konoha camp.
Several female ninjas were quietly huddled together, seemingly whispering about something.
"Hey, have you noticed? Lord Minato has been sneaking out with Satoru Hyūga every afternoon these days."
"Yeah! You noticed it too!"
Lord Minato is a well - known hunk in Konoha. He's not only good - looking but also upbeat. And isn't Satoru Hyūga the supposed top prodigy of the new generation?」
「They snuck out. Could it be that they're gonna...」
The female ninja hesitated for a moment and whispered.
「Gonna do something shady?」
The mission of Satoru Hyūga and Minato Namikaze to assassinate the Sand ninjas was an absolute secret in the Konoha camp.
Only Orochimaru and a few high - ranking officials knew about it.
Although Minato Namikaze was already taken, his good looks still made him quite popular among the female ninjas in Konoha.
Hearing this, a female ninja immediately showed a hopeless expression and sighed to the sky.
「No way! No way! A hunk like Lord Minato is actually a...」
Just as she finished speaking, a female ninja beside her suddenly gave a devilish smile.
「What you said actually gets me more hyped!」
What the hell...?
The other female ninjas all stared at her in shock.
「Satoru, care to give an explanation?」
「Explain? What to explain?」
Satoru Hyūga looked at Uchiha Rin, who was blocking the entrance of the tent, with a confused face. She was standing there, arms crossed, looking down at him.
「You really don't want to give me an explanation?」
Uchiha Rin repeated coldly.
「Sis, I really have no clue what kind of explanation you're after.」 Satoru Hyūga was on the verge of crying. 「How about I give you a roll of duct tape?」
A flash of anger crossed Uchiha Rin's face. Then, as if she recalled something, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she turned her head away haughtily.
「You sneak out every afternoon, and it's said you're with Minato Namikaze. Tell me... are you guys...」
Uchiha Rin's voice got softer and softer until it was almost inaudible. She lowered her head slightly.
Damn it! I can't believe the guy I'm into is gay!
Damn! I've really had the shittiest luck in eight lifetimes!
She wanted to cuss, but didn't know where to begin.
All she could do was stand there dumbly, feeling aggrieved.
Satoru Hyūga was stunned.
Really stunned.
Good heavens! Is the ninja world this Baji too?
These days, he'd go out with Minato Namikaze every day to shoot at the Sand ninjas, and they'd achieved remarkable results. On the Sand ninjas' side, their camp was in turmoil, and many high - ranking officials were shot dead on the spot by Satoru Hyūga.
The original power gap that favored the Sand ninjas over Konoha was almost completely evened out.
I can't believe I've been busting my ass at the front line, and you guys are gossiping behind my back?
Me having an affair with Minato Namikaze? Who the hell started this rumor?!
If I find out who did it, I'll break your legs!
Damn!
Then, he looked at Uchiha Rin in front of him, who was standing there haughtily with a cold face, feeling a headache coming on.
What should he do? How could he explain it to Rin?
Soon, he suddenly froze.
Why the hell gotta explain to Uchiha Rin?
But after he got this news, his first reaction was to worry that Rin would misunderstand and he wanted to explain.
And it seemed that Uchiha Rin also came to him right away to get an explanation.
Well...
Suddenly, Satoru Hyūga started to smile stupidly in an endearing way. A warm current welled up in his heart. He scratched his head and stammered.
"Hey, Rin, you know me. I'm not that kind of person..."
"Although Minato Namikaze is really handsome, sunny, and tall. If you were a girl, you might really..."
At first, after hearing Satoru Hyūga speak, Uchiha Rin's expression gradually relaxed, and her cheeks blushed slightly...
But the more she listened, the more something seemed off.
"So, do you two really have something going on?"
She gave Satoru Hyūga a fierce glare.
"No! Rin, you know me..."
Satoru Hyūga really wanted to give himself a slap. In his past life, he was a science and technology major, an extremely shy person. He really had no experience in matters of the heart!
"Geez! How can I put it? I went on a Special Mission with Minato Namikaze. Since the mission was very important, it had to be kept secret."
"Well, it's really not what you think!"
Satoru Hyūga rambled on, only hoping that Uchiha Rin wouldn't get the wrong idea.
Uchiha Rin's expression relaxed. She turned her head slightly and said softly.
"Okay! I got it."
Right after that, her cheeks turned as red as a ripe apple. She lowered her head slightly and murmured like a mosquito.
"If you really have needs, you can come to me too."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately trotted away.
Satoru Hyūga stood there stunned, staring blankly at her back.
