"Kid, the Flying Thunder God Technique isn't that easy," Senju Tobirama said. "These are just the basics."
Upon hearing that, Renye felt like his world had collapsed.
The dream of one-shotting everyone was gone.
He looked at the thick book in his hand, his expression complex.
Actually, this Ninjutsu isn't absolutely necessary, right?
The low-cost Flying Thunder God Slash he had been researching earlier was probably enough.
Senju Tobirama patted Renye's shoulder, comforting him, "Study hard, I believe you can learn it."
Renye didn't speak, returning to his room in a daze.
Looking at the few books on the table, he sighed helplessly.
He hated reading, especially such profound books, and not only did he have to read them, but he also had to master them.
Isn't this just making things difficult for people?
Renye finally understood why, in the next few decades, only Minato Namikaze learned this Jutsu.
This was simply not something a person could learn...
Renye had plans to give up before he even started learning.
But as soon as he thought of the Flying Thunder God's power, he cheered up again.
He opened the book on space-time theory and began to read.
When he saw the table of contents, he was completely dumbfounded.
【Chapter One: The Essential Understanding of Spatial Dimensions.】
【Chapter Two: Special Application of Chakra.】
【Chapter Three: Spatial Coordinate Positioning.】
【Chapter Four: Dimensional Folding and Crossing.】
Renye: "???"
What the hell, is this still the Ninja World?
How could there be such complex and profound knowledge?!
Shouldn't learning Ninjutsu just involve knowing the hand signs and Chakra flow?
Renye incredulously looked at the table of contents several times, finally accepting the truth.
"Hmph, isn't it just a bit complex?" Renye pouted, "I can definitely learn it!"
Saying that, he began to seriously read the main content.
Only, the content made him completely bewildered.
He knew all the words, but when combined, he couldn't understand them.
"It must be that I'm opening it the wrong way."
Renye closed the book and reopened it.
The content still made no sense...
"I refuse to believe it!" Renye gritted his teeth, forcing himself to continue reading.
It's okay if he doesn't understand it the first time, then read it twice, three times!
As long as he studies diligently, he will learn it eventually!
He wondered how Senju Tobirama, that Old Man, managed to research the Flying Thunder God Technique?!
But as he kept reading, Renye's eyes closed.
When he woke up, it was already the next morning.
"I actually tried so hard to read that I fell asleep?" Renye felt a bit emotional.
In all these years, this was the first time he had studied so seriously.
That feeling of knowledge entering his brain was truly captivating.
"Let me see, where did I learn yesterday?"
Renye said, looking at the page number in the bottom right corner.
"Holy crap, how is it only the first page?!"
He clearly remembered reading for a long time last night, it couldn't be the first page!
It must have been the wind messing it up.
But it doesn't matter, he'll have an impression if he's read it.
Thinking so, Renye smiled and turned to the second page.
But looking at the content, the smile on his face instantly froze.
"How is this possible, why do I have no impression at all?"
Renye began to doubt his life; could it be that he really only read the first page?
That shouldn't be, he clearly read for a long time...
"Damn it, I must be under a Genjutsu!" Renye clenched his fists, "Damn Uchiha Tanaka!"
It must be Uchiha Tanaka who cast a Genjutsu on him in the Hokage Office!
Otherwise, how could he have no impression at all?!
Actually, he knew he wasn't under a Genjutsu, he was just giving himself some psychological comfort.
Renye was unwilling to accept the fact that he couldn't understand the principles...
This frustrating feeling was like a beautiful woman standing naked in front of you, and you are a eunuch.
"No, I won't give up!" Renye picked up the book and began to read.
It's normal not to learn such a high-difficulty Ninjutsu in a short time.
As long as he studies diligently, he can still learn it in a few years!
After that, Renye always had a theory book in his hand, whether he was eating or training.
Senju Tobirama was a bit surprised to see this.
He had thought Renye would give up, but he was unexpectedly so serious.
Perhaps, this kid really could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique...
However, he quickly dismissed that thought.
Because Senju Tobirama noticed that this kid had been reading the same book all along, and it seemed he hadn't understood it at all.
After realizing Renye couldn't understand it, he no longer held any hope for the matter.
If he couldn't even understand the most basic theoretical knowledge, how could he learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?
But seeing Renye's serious demeanor, Senju Tobirama couldn't bear to discourage him, so he could only praise him for making great progress.
This made Renye overjoyed.
The founder of the Flying Thunder God Technique praised him for making progress, which meant he still had talent in learning space-time Ninjutsu!
So Renye studied even more seriously.
Sometimes, when Senju Tobirama saw Renye's serious look, he didn't know what to say and could only sigh helplessly.
He should have known not to teach this kid.
If Renye realized he couldn't learn it in the future, would he blame him?
Time passed day by day.
Even though Senju Tobirama tried his best to conceal the news of Senju Hashirama's death.
But as time went on, various countries gradually learned the truth.
After confirming that the Ninja God was truly dead, the Kages of each Village were incredibly excited!
If it weren't for Senju Hashirama's deterrence, war would have broken out long ago!
The peace treaty signed at the Five Kage Summit became a mere scrap of paper after Senju Hashirama's death.
Isn't a treaty just meant to be torn up?
The four great Ninja Villages unanimously set their sights on the Land of Fire, that juicy piece of meat.
Various countries began to continuously send Ninja to the Land of Fire's borders, engaging in small-scale wars.
--------
Hokage Office.
Senju Tobirama looked at the documents in his hand, his temples throbbing.
"These guys, do they really think Konoha is a soft persimmon?"
He threw the documents on the table and said to the shadows, "Notify the heads of each clan to come to the Hokage Office."
Not long after, the clan heads arrived at the office.
Senju Tobirama saw that everyone was present and said in a deep voice, "Various countries are continuously sending troops to invade the Land of Fire's border."
Upon hearing this, the clan heads' expressions turned grim; this day had finally come.
"Hokage-sama, give the order!"
"Let these guys know the might of our Konoha!"
Senju Tobirama nodded and began to formulate a battle plan.
"The Ino–Shika–Chō clans, you are responsible for the northeastern battlefield of the Land of Fire."
"Shimura Sarutobi Aburame, you are responsible for the eastern battlefield."
.........
The combat missions were quickly formulated.
The clan heads left the Hokage Office in a hurry, preparing to gather their clan members and head to the designated battlefields.
Senju Tobirama stood by the window, looking at the prosperous Village.
"Big Brother, the peace you achieved... it's over."
PS: I'm drained, that's all for today, the four chapters I owe will be made up by the end of the month...
