Chapter 23: Chapter 23: The Power of Space Abilities
Why was Minato Namikaze able to achieve such a formidable reputation during the Third Great Ninja War?
It's simple: he mastered the space-time ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage—Flying Thunder God Technique!
The speed of spatial movement exceeds that of any other method, making Minato the fastest ninja in the world!
His enemies couldn't escape even if they wanted to, and he could easily retreat even in the face of encirclement.
While other elite ninjas and even Kage couldn't defeat opponents of the same level in a minute, Minato could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to swiftly kill opponents of the same level.
Taking down one or two enemies was effortless for him, and there were times when he effortlessly slew dozens of enemy jonin in a single battle.
Such remarkable achievements led enemy villages opposed to Konoha to issue orders like, "Any mission encountering Konoha's golden flash can be abandoned without punishment!"
This treatment speaks volumes.
Perhaps the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha had similar treatment in the past, but it hadn't occurred since their deaths!
It can be said that without the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato would have only possessed the strength of an elite jonin or a quasi-Kage, but with the technique, his power skyrocketed to that of a Kage-level ninja!
Further training and refining of more powerful ninjutsu would have easily allowed him to achieve the status of a super-Kage as well.
Before the power structure of the Shinobi world collapsed, there was only one super-Kage-level ninja who could control the Six Paths of Pain: Nagato Uzumaki.
It can be said that if the Fourth Hokage hadn't died in the Nine-Tails attack, he would have undoubtedly grown into a super-Kage-level ninja.
This is actually proven.
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Minato, revived through Edo Tensei, reconciled with half of the Nine-Tails sealed within him and then utilized the Nine-Tails' chakra mode.
At that time, his power had already reached super-Kage level.
The crucial turning point in Minato Namikaze's life was undoubtedly when he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.
It was only after mastering this space-time ninjutsu that Minato was able to achieve greatness, even surpassing Orochimaru, one of the Third Hokage's three apprentices, and pushing him out of contention for the position of Hokage.
While there may have been some conspiracy involved, Minato's strength played a much larger role.
Minato's example demonstrates just how significant the gap in space-time ninjutsu can be.
This is even more evident in the case of Tobirama Senju.
Tobirama Senju's space-time abilities stem from his Mangekyo Sharingan.
His Mangekyo Sharingan, with the left eye containing the offensive technique Amaterasu, given to Kakashi Hatake, and the right eye containing the space-time technique Kamui, which he has always used himself!
Kamui's spatial abilities are quite diverse, allowing for spatial movement similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique, as well as the ability to suck one's own body into Kamui's dimension, achieving a phasing effect.
The principle of spatial movement using Kamui is simple: open exits and entrances to Kamui's dimension in different places, using Kamui's dimension as a transit station to achieve spatial movement.
Although spatial movement is possible, Kamui's spatial movement does have some drawbacks.
Firstly, the steps for spatial movement are cumbersome and not as convenient as the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Secondly, the range of movement must be within Tobirama's chakra sensing range, unlike the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allows movement to any location in the world.
This is where Kamui's spatial movement is weaker than the Flying Thunder God Technique, and it's also why Tobirama rarely uses this method in combat.
However, Kamui also has capabilities that surpass the Flying Thunder God Technique, one of which is another application of Kamui's abilities: phasing!
This is a truly godlike technique!
Because phasing makes one immune to all attacks!
By entering Kamui's dimension, which only Tobirama can do, the body naturally cannot be harmed by any other attacks.
With this technique, Tobirama was able to enter unguarded areas of Konoha during the Nine-Tails attack and effortlessly abduct Kushina Uzumaki, who was being protected by layers of people, along with her newborn child, Naruto, leading to the subsequent Nine-Tails attack.
Moreover, even if he were to be defeated one-on-one by Minato due to differences in strength, Tobirama could easily escape.
Even during the Five Kage Summit, he disregarded the five Kage and spoke boldly to rescue Sasuke, and no one could stop him.
It's worth noting that at that time, the concept of the Six Paths level hadn't emerged, and the five Kage at the summit were considered the strongest of their time!
Yet Tobirama still played with them, completely unstoppable.
This is the power of Kamui's usage—its formidable phasing ability.
It can be said that if Tobirama's Mangekyo Sharingan had awakened a technique other than Kamui, such as Tsukuyomi or Amaterasu, he would never have achieved the same level of success.
Simply put, in the chaos of the Nine-Tails attack, he would have been killed by Minato Namikaze!
This is beyond doubt.
Therefore, spatial abilities are truly incredibly powerful.
Having them or not makes a world of difference.
That's why Wu Chen couldn't help but sigh at this moment: Minato Namikaze doesn't need to fake it.
Because Wu Chen understands this very well.
