Chapter 254 Kane's Talent

After finishing his report with Minister Koharu, Nishikawa Tetsu walked out of the Hokage Building with the approved documents, only to bump into Namikaze Minato, who had just finished get off work.

"Che! I was just looking for you."

Minato strode over, a rare hint of excitement on his face. Before Nishikawa Tetsu could even complain about his recent elusive behavior, he pulled him directly towards a nearby beverage shop.

"What's wrong? Why are you so agitated?"

Nishikawa Tetsu was forced into a seat, watching as Minato skipped ordering and poured himself a glass of water. He couldn't help but tease, "Did that noble lady from the Daimyo's mansion write you another love letter, and Kushina found it? Do you need me to provide you with shelter?"

"Stop fooling around, let's get down to business."

Minato took a sip of water to moisten his throat, lowered his voice, and his azure eyes gleamed: "It's about Kana."

"Kana?" Nishikawa Tetsu raised an eyebrow. "What trouble has that little brat gotten into at school this time?"

"It's not that I caused trouble, it's my talent."

Minato's expression became unusually serious.

"Che, do you remember the last time I used the Flying Thunder God Technique to take Kushina and the others to the capital?"

"I remember, so what?"

"At the time, Mizuki and Shizune both experienced severe dizziness, and even Kushina felt unwell. But..." Minato paused, "Kana, not only didn't feel uncomfortable at all, she even thought...it was fun?"

"What's so strange about that? She's just a kid, she's easygoing. Maybe she's just special and doesn't get dizzy from this?" Nishikawa Tetsu said dismissively.

"Not only that."

Minato shook his head and moved closer.

"I used my clone to observe Kana for a few days and did some small tests. I found that she is extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations."

"The day before yesterday, I was practicing the short-distance teleportation of the Flying Thunder God Technique in the courtyard of the Senju clan's territory. Every time before I appeared, she could accurately see the spot where I was about to land."

"You know, even the seniors who have activated the kaleidoscope can only catch a glimpse of my afterimage after I appear."

Nishikawa Tetsu stopped drinking his tea, and his eyes became serious.

Predicting the landing point of the Flying Thunder God Technique? That can't be explained by being oblivious.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is an instantaneous spatial jump performed using jutsu coordinates. Before the jump is complete, only extremely faint spatial ripples are created at the landing point. Being able to detect these ripples means...

"You mean, she possesses extremely high talent in space-time ninjutsu?"

"That's right."

Minato took a deep breath: "I suspect that her physique is not just due to the Uzumaki clan's massive chakra; she may have been born with an extremely high affinity for spatial elements."

"With a little guidance, she might become... the next person to master the Flying Thunder God Technique."

This is a very high evaluation.

Since the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, created the Flying Thunder God Technique, only Minato Namikaze has been able to carry it forward and make it truly great in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and even the entire ninja world.

This requires not only rigorous training, but also that rare and innate spatial talent.

"This is a major discovery!"

Nishikawa Tetsu stroked his chin. If Kana really could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, wouldn't Konoha have two Yellow Flashes in the future?

No, her hair is red, it's called red glitter?

"However, Minato, she's only in sixth grade. And she doesn't like studying. You don't mean to teach her such complicated spatial techniques right now, do you?" Nishikawa Tetsu reminded her.

"Of course not."

Minato smiled wryly, "The Flying Thunder God Technique is extremely complex, involving a lot of sealing techniques theory and spatial perception. Even I struggled with it for a long time when I was learning it. Given Kana's age and personality, getting her to sit down and memorize the formulas is harder than killing her."

"That's why I came to find you, Che."

Minato looked at him sincerely: "You have a lot of ideas. Do you have any way to subtly train her spatial awareness and basic sealing techniques without making her feel bored?"

"It's educational and entertaining..."

Nishikawa Tetsu stroked his chin, his brain racing.

Asking a lively and active little girl to train in the tedious basics of space-time ninjutsu? That would require reducing those profound theories to a child's game.

"Got it."

Nishikawa Tetsu snapped his fingers, took out paper and pen from his bag, and quickly sketched a few drafts.

"Since she thinks the Flying Thunder God Statue is fun, let's go along with her interests. These three games should satisfy your needs."

Minato leaned closer to take a look.

"The first game is to locate objects by sound."

Nishikawa Tetsu drew several kunai marks on the paper.

"Don't you have a lot of Flying Thunder God kunai? Set up ten or more markers in the Senju clan's courtyard. You teleport randomly between these points, but only stay for a moment. Have Kana close her eyes and catch you by relying solely on your senses."

"She definitely won't be able to catch it at first, but what we need to train is not her speed, but her intuition."

"Reward her with a candy every time she accurately points out where you will appear next. Once she gets used to this spatial ripple effect, the sensory part when learning the Flying Thunder God technique will come naturally."

Minato nodded: "This is a good method. It can train her and play with her at the same time."

"The second game is a puzzle treasure hunt."

Nishikawa Tetsu drew a set of patterns resembling a maze and runes on the paper.

"The Flying Thunder God technique is composed of complex sealing runes. You draw those basic sealing runes on small wooden blocks and make them into a puzzle."

"Tell her it's a treasure hunt. Only by assembling these wooden blocks that look like scribbles in the correct order and structure can you open the wooden box that contains a deluxe dessert."

Nishikawa Tetsu's lips curled into a wicked smile: "In the process of racking her brains for food, she will unknowingly engrave those complex spatial structures in her mind, forming visual memories."

"When she's older and studies the theory, she'll find these runes very familiar."

"Using food as bait...that fits Kana's personality perfectly." Minato could already picture Kana frowning as she assembles wooden blocks for the sake of a snack.

"The third game is passing a water balloon."

Nishikawa Tetsu drew two little figures separated by a distance.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique is essentially a resonance between chakra and the technique. Didn't Kushina teach her how to control the water sphere? Join in."

"You stand at a distance with the Flying Thunder God kunai in hand, and let her try to throw a water sphere containing her own chakra at you."

"But the rule is: the water ball cannot be thrown directly at her. She must adjust her chakra frequency to resonate with the technique of your kunai at the moment she throws the water ball."

"Although she can't teleport yet, as long as she can develop this awareness of using chakra to find the coordinates of a technique, it will be more useful than any theoretical lesson."

After hearing the designs for these three games, Minato looked at Nishikawa Toru and couldn't help but exclaim, "You always have so many ideas!"

Nishikawa Tetsu put away the blueprints: "I'll have a set of the wooden block puzzle made and sent over tomorrow. As for the candy and snacks..."

"Deduct it from my salary!" Minato said generously. "What's a little money if it can help train the next successor of the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
