Chapter 216
"When it comes to the Instantaneous Body Technique, it can generally be divided into three categories: Speed-Based Instantaneous Movement, Space-Time Instantaneous Movement, and Teleportation Instantaneous Movement. The distinction between Teleportation and Space-Time Instantaneous Movement is somewhat blurry, and there is indeed some overlap. However, that's not the main point, so I won't go into too much detail," Terado explained before continuing. "If the Barrier-Breaking Technique is classified as an Instantaneous Movement technique, then it belongs to Teleportation Instantaneous Movement. It possesses both space-time properties and summoning medium properties..."
"You might not fully understand why I say it has summoning properties. Here, open this," Terado said, handing the scroll to Haruto Saito once more.
Haruto took it and opened it as instructed.
"Look at the thirteenth section," Terado said immediately. "The Curse Mark Chapter! To activate this technique, one must imprint a repeatedly activatable curse mark on their body in advance. Additionally, during activation, the user must make contact with an object, converting it into a teleportation medium... The curse mark is present, and the teleportation medium is present... The Summoning Technique for ninja beasts also contains these two elements—blood acts as the medium, and a summoning seal must be formed on the ground... It's quite similar, isn't it?"
"And with this technique, the only thing being summoned is the user themselves. In other words, the user is summoning themselves to the other side of the teleportation medium through the summoning process... Of course, this is only part of the technique. Do you understand?"
Haruto nodded hesitantly, still digesting the information.
He was convinced!
Terado's analysis and explanation of the Barrier-Breaking Technique were like unveiling an entirely new world before Haruto's eyes!
If he had to describe it in one phrase, it would be "tracing back to the source."
Terado explained the Barrier-Breaking Technique from the most fundamental and basic principles. Perhaps someone like Sarutobi Hiruzen could do the same, but whether Sarutobi could analyze so much after just one reading was uncertain. Terado's speed in dissecting and explaining the technique was astonishing.
"What don't you understand? You can ask me."
