Chapter 212
An Unexpected Surprise!
Haruto Saito never expected that Minato Namikaze had already thought about mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique.
He was a genius. His intelligence far surpassed his peers. While others his age were still playing around and worrying about friendships, he had already set his sights on the future. He understood himself and had considered his own path forward. So, although this revelation took Haruto Saito by surprise, it was still reasonable.
If this was the case, then persuading—no, recruiting—Minato Namikaze as his personal disciple would be much easier!
"Who told you that the Flying Thunder God Technique is forbidden to learn?" Haruto Saito asked with a smile.
"Isn't it?" Minato Namikaze blinked and looked up. "Since the Second Hokage passed away, no one has used the Flying Thunder God Technique in over ten years. If it's not banned, why hasn't anyone else practiced such a powerful technique?"
Minato assumed that the technique was forbidden—but he was mistaken!
It wasn't that Konoha prohibited its practice, but rather that the technique was simply too difficult to learn! Even someone as immensely talented as Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had mastery over all elemental attributes, couldn't master the Flying Thunder God Technique. Learning it required a special talent—it was an S-rank forbidden jutsu, and on top of that, it demanded unique innate abilities, making it even harder to master.
In short, the technique wasn't banned—it was just that no one had been able to successfully learn it after the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
"Do you really want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Haruto Saito asked again.
"Of course I do! But just wanting it isn't enough," Minato Namikaze said dejectedly.
