"Huh?"
After hearing this, Minato looked at the short sword in Akira's hand, his eyes lighting up. He reached out and said, "Let me see!"
Akira immediately handed the short sword over.
Minato took it and examined it over and over before nodding. "Mm! The formula is complete. But why did you make your Flying Thunder God kunai into the form of short swords? Also, why didn't you use my Sword of Shinobi Love pattern for the formula? That would look so much better!"
Minato was clearly somewhat dissatisfied.
When Akira heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Everyone's Flying Thunder God medium and formula should be different, right? That makes it easier to distinguish them, doesn't it?"
There was no way he was using Minato's Flying Thunder God kunai or Sword of Shinobi Love.
Too ugly.
And too cringe.
"That's true!"
Minato nodded in agreement. "They really do need to be distinguishable. Otherwise, in certain situations, it would be easy to grab the wrong one."
"How far have you mastered it for now? Can you already use it proficiently? Do you need me to give you some pointers?"
Minato was very enthusiastic.
"There's no need!"
Akira shook his head. Immediately, he threw more than ten Flying Thunder God short swords into various parts of the tent using a special technique.
Immediately after that, he began flashing rapidly through the tent without pause. Minato's face filled with shock as he watched. "You… you brat, you've already completely mastered the first stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique? Do you have to be this terrifying?"
He admitted it. He was jealous.
Compared to this talent, he suddenly felt like he was nothing but a mediocre hack.
"How was that?"
At that moment, Akira stopped. With a thought, he converted lightning into magnetic force and controlled all the Flying Thunder God short swords, pulling them back.
Minato was stunned by this move at first. Then, in the next moment, he excitedly grabbed Akira by the shoulders and asked, "What kind of method is that? Lightning Release? Magnet Release? You actually have the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai too?"
"Not at all!"
Akira shook his head. "This is just one application of Lightning Release!"
"I'm not sure what the principles behind Magnet Release are, but this method of mine uses Lightning Release to transform into electromagnetic force, achieving the effect of controlling metal!"
"If you have the Lightning attribute, Senior Minato, I can teach it to you."
It was not anything especially important anyway.
However, Minato did not have the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. If he wanted to reach this step, he would need quite a lot of practice, as well as a much deeper level of Lightning-nature transformation training and theoretical knowledge before he could manage it.
"Oh?"
When Minato heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. "So it really isn't a Kekkei Genkai! It's actually transformed from the Lightning attribute? That's simply unbelievable!"
"However, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to teach me directly for free? This is your secret technique."
Minato felt somewhat embarrassed about taking advantage of him.
"It's fine!"
Akira waved his hand indifferently. "Didn't you teach me the Rasengan before, Senior Minato? Even earlier, you gave me an entire set of sealing technique knowledge books. This little thing of mine isn't anything much. Please don't be polite with me! Otherwise, I'll get angry!"
As he spoke, Akira deliberately pulled a long face.
"You brat!"
Seeing this, Minato felt moved, but also found it a little funny. He immediately patted Akira on the shoulder and said, "Then thank you! I'll remember this favor! From now on, you're my little brother. If anything happens, just come find me. I'll do everything I can to help you."
That was simply the kind of person he was.
If others treated him with sincerity, then he would repay them with sincerity and goodwill.
"Haha! Alright! Big Brother Minato!"
Akira smiled knowingly as well. "I'll write it down and give it to you now!"
As he spoke, Akira walked to the table in the center of the tent, sat down, took out paper and a pen, and began writing.
Once the principles were clear and the nature of electromagnetic force was understood, this thing was actually not difficult.
The difficult part was understanding and controlling Lightning-nature transformation.
"Done! Here!"
Before long, Akira finished writing and handed it to Minato.
Minato treated it like a priceless treasure and began reading.
From time to time, he let out amazed exclamations. "Oh! So that's how it works! So the Lightning attribute actually has this kind of property? Incredible! Incredible…"
One day later, Sakumo received a letter from the Third Hokage. He immediately called over Minato, Shikaku, who was still handling negotiations, and the others, then handed the letter to them and said, "Lord Hokage has already learned about the situation here! However, he doesn't feel at ease leaving the negotiation matters entirely to us. He has sent Adviser Homura Mitokado over to assist from the side."
"In addition…"
At this point, he looked toward Akira and said, "Lord Hokage feels that although you made a great contribution this time, you also drew too much attention. He believes you have already been targeted by the various major ninja villages and regarded as a thorn in their side. Combined with the high bounty placed on you by the underground black market, for the sake of your safety, he is summoning you back to the village to settle down and rest for a while. What do you think?"
As he said this, Sakumo's face carried a faint smile on the surface, but inwardly he sneered.
"As expected, it's this trick again! Third Hokage, you really never disappoint me. Even at a time like this, you still don't forget internal strife and suppressing dissidents."
You people really were something.
When Minato heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, and he could not help sighing inwardly.
"Sigh… Lord Hokage really is…"
He did not even know how to describe the Third Hokage anymore.
Right now, Konoha was still at war with Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure.
Yet at this time, the Third Hokage was actually allowing a top-tier fighting force like Akira to go unused. Instead, he was preparing to recall him and hide him away.
What was this supposed to mean?
Was this not placing personal interests above Konoha's interests?
Most importantly, Minato remembered the conversation he had with Akira two days ago.
He knew very well that Akira was very dissatisfied with certain people in the village.
Although Akira had not said it directly, Minato knew that this included the Third Hokage!
Right now, he only hoped Akira would not act impulsively.
"What thoughts could I have?"
After hearing this, Akira merely shrugged and spread his hands. "If Lord Hokage wants me to go back, then I'll go back! If I can rest, I'd be more than happy to. I've been exhausted during this period!"
When it came to disappointing people, the Third Hokage had truly never disappointed anyone.
Akira had expected this long ago, so he was not especially angry.
In any case, he himself was not particularly interested in Konoha's so-called power.
He understood very clearly that this was a world where strength reigned supreme. Only absolute strength was the foundation one could rely on.
As long as his strength was powerful enough, why should he care where the current flowed?
Coincidentally, he actually wanted some free personal time so he could make a trip to the Pokémon world and take a look.
He wanted to see if he could obtain more good things.
In particular, he wanted to contract more Pokémon into his Beast Taming Space.
Only in this way could he maximize the effects of the Beast Taming Space and obtain more feedback.
Based on his current mental strength, contracting around five Pokémon should not be a problem.
