"Hey, Kyuushin, have you heard the news?"
At noon, Nawaki, who had run out early in the morning, asked Kyuushin mysteriously.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Kyuushin was a bit confused. He had been staying home researching these past few days and hadn't really gone out much, so he naturally didn't know what news Nawaki was referring to.
"It's about the White Fang of Konoha, you don't still not know, do you?"
Seeing that Kyuushin indeed didn't know, he then told Kyuushin the news that Sakumo Hatake had killed Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, finally adding:
"It serves them right! Why did they have to come and rob our Land of Fire for no reason!"
Kyuushin's expression finally turned serious. He naturally knew about Sakumo Hatake killing Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, but he didn't know the specific timing of the event.
But he hadn't expected it to happen at such a sensitive time. There were already frictions between the Wind and Fire Countries, and now that such important figures had died, the Land of Wind would definitely not let it go.
After realizing this, Kyuushin couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He hadn't expected that shortly after returning from the battlefield, another war was already on the horizon.
Looking at Nawaki, who was still clowning around in front of him, Kyuushin couldn't help but say:
"The next war is coming. If your strength hasn't improved, don't blame me for not taking you this time, okay?"
"What? What war is coming?" Nawaki was startled when he heard this and asked anxiously.
"Naturally, it's between the Wind and Fire Countries. This war is expected to be a major one, far exceeding the one we had in the Land of Rain before. So, if your strength isn't enough this time, you probably won't even be able to do logistical work."
"We're going to war with Sunagakure? How come I don't know about this? Never mind, what you say must be right. You wait, I'm going out with Minato right now to find Shikaku and the others for another fight."
Nawaki naturally believed Kyuushin's words. Hearing about another war, his desire to improve his strength became urgent again. He immediately slapped his head and was about to go out to train again.
"You child, I told you not to be so rash, why won't you listen!"
Just then, Mito's voice came from outside, startling Nawaki, who retracted his outstretched leg and sat obediently in place.
Mito entered, glanced at Nawaki, and seeing his proper attitude, didn't say anything more, simply sitting down.
Kyuushin, meanwhile, looked at Nagato, who was following Mito. After a few days, Nagato was now wearing glasses, and through them, Nagato's eyes looked no different from an ordinary person's.
"Grandma, Nagato he..."
Mito nodded and said, "Although it hasn't been completely resolved, this way, as long as he doesn't take off his glasses, outsiders won't be able to detect Nagato's abnormality at all."
Kyuushin carefully examined Nagato's glasses and indeed found nothing unusual. It was just a pair of glasses, yet it had no effect on the Rinnegan's inherent abilities. This was indeed a relatively perfect solution.
"Nagato, how do you feel now?" Kyuushin asked.
Nagato adjusted the glasses on his nose and said, "Although I'm a bit unaccustomed to them, there's basically no impact."
"What, you don't trust this old woman's sealing technique?"
Seeing Kyuushin constantly observing, Mito couldn't help but tease him.
"How could I? I just wanted to see if I could learn something. Grandma, you don't know, I've been really troubled by some sealing technique formulas these past few days," Kyuushin complained.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Mito's attention was indeed piqued.
Seeing this, Kyuushin brought up some of the difficult sealing technique points he encountered while learning the Flying Thunder God Technique a few days ago, asking about them one by one.
Mito knew what these formulas were for with just a glance. After all, the Second Hokage often consulted her about the sealing technique parts when he was creating this ninjutsu.
However, Mito didn't say much. Since she had already given Kyuushin the key, it meant she didn't object to him learning this ninjutsu.[2]
Perhaps even Mito hoped that one day this ninjutsu could reappear in the shinobi world, so she answered Kyuushin's questions as detailedly as possible, even ignoring Nawaki secretly slipping away.
Nagato, however, sat there obediently the whole time. Even though he didn't understand anything about the topics Kyuushin and Mito were discussing, he had no intention of leaving.
After about two hours, when Kyuushin finally understood the last sealing technique formula, even he felt a bit dizzy.
The sealing technique knowledge contained within the Flying Thunder God Technique was simply too profound, giving Kyuushin a feeling similar to solving advanced math problems back then.
"You can try to construct your own Flying Thunder God formula."
After confirming that Kyuushin had completely understood the Flying Thunder God formula, Mito suggested to Kyuushin.
Kyuushin rubbed his head and nodded, but he didn't start immediately. Instead, he immediately activated his Gene Lock, closed his eyes, and reviewed all the knowledge points related to the entire Flying Thunder God Technique in his mind.
Only after feeling there were no omissions did Kyuushin reopen his eyes, gather his chakra, and slowly begin to construct the Flying Thunder God formula on the table.
The difficulty of the first construction was greater than he had imagined, but with the enhancement of the Gene Lock, Kyuushin's chakra control was flawless. After about ten minutes, Kyuushin finally stopped the output of chakra.
Kyuushin removed his hand and looked. Mito also leaned over curiously. On the table, three snowflake patterns were clearly etched, overlapping each other, with thin lines connecting them in the middle, looking quite aesthetic.[5]
"This is the Flying Thunder God formula you designed? It's quite good-looking." Mito looked at the three snowflakes and couldn't help but praise them.
Kyuushin nodded. When designing the Flying Thunder God formula earlier, Kyuushin had considered many styles, but in the end, he chose the hexagonal snowflake shape.
This snowflake shape could be considered a masterpiece of nature's art. It looked quite aesthetic, and it resonated with his Ice Release ability, which could also be considered his personal characteristic.
At least in this aspect, he surpassed the Second Hokage and the Fourth Hokage from the original work. The Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God formula was a simple variation of the Senju clan emblem, and there was no need to mention the Fourth Hokage; the four characters "Sword of Ninja Love" already exposed his chuunibyo nature.[3][5]
"Next, let's try to see if you can sense this formula."
Mito took a deep breath and said to Kyuushin. This was also the key to whether Kyuushin could use this ninjutsu. If he couldn't sense it successfully, then no matter how beautiful the formula was designed, it would be useless.[3][5]
Kyuushin also felt inexplicably nervous. After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, Kyuushin moved a few steps away, then closed his eyes and began to sense it carefully.
