Leaving the school, Gojo Yoru didn't go home but used the Body Flicker Technique to reach the Naka River.
At this time, the Uchiha clan had not yet been forced to relocate near the Naka River, so this area was rarely visited.
Above the Naka River were cliffs and forests.
In the forest area at this moment, a black blur was leaping across the treetops, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Unlike other ninjas' Body Flicker, which sometimes produced a slightly harsh sound, or if Chakra control was improper, would shake leaves off the trees and leave permanent footprints on the branches...
When this blur passed through the treetops, not only was there no sound at all, but there wasn't a trace left behind.
Although the speed wasn't particularly fast, this level of Chakra control was something even an all-rounder Jonin who had mastered at least two nature transformations would find hard to match.
Undoubtedly, this was a master of the Body Flicker Technique.
Bang—
After leaping through the forest for a long time, the blur suddenly crashed into a large tree that would take several people to encircle. A heavy, muffled sound rang out, and the figure stuck to the tree like a hanging painting before slowly sliding down.
"Hiss... that hurts, that hurts!"
Landing on the ground, Gojo Yoru covered his already reddened face with both hands, constantly sucking in breaths and crying out in pain.
If his classmates saw this scene, Gojo Yoru's image would absolutely collapse in an instant.
Touching his nose, which thankfully hadn't been deformed by the impact, Gojo Yoru looked at the large tree in front of him and thought to himself, Passing through walls during high-speed movement is still too difficult.
Indeed, just now Gojo Yoru had tried to use his space-time ability to pass through the tree, but he failed.
This was also Gojo Yoru's first attempt.
Because of his astonishing growth during this period, he had inevitably become a bit arrogant.
Gojo Yoru originally thought that the evolution only allowed some of his cells to extract space-time energy.
Now it seemed that it was an all-around sublimation.
Seven months had passed since he awakened the space-time ability.
In these seven months, Gojo Yoru's body had undergone tremendous changes.
First was his height. Only seven years old this year, he had already grown to 1.43 meters.
This height was actually very common in the Land of Lightning and Kumogakure, where black and white people were everywhere.
But in Konoha and other ninja villages, he stood out among his peers like a crane in a flock of chickens.
After all, when Uzumaki Naruto graduated at the age of twelve, his height was only 1.47 meters.
Just as his classmates said, if one didn't know better, they would think Gojo Yoru was a fifth or sixth-grade student.
The precociousness of his body also led to a surge in Gojo Yoru's Chakra amount. His Chakra, which was already larger than that of an ordinary Genin, now probably surpassed that of an ordinary Chunin.
Although he couldn't compare to Hatake Kakashi, who could perform the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique in the first grade, Gojo Yoru was fully qualified to train in the Shadow Clone Technique and the Rasengan.
However, with the surge in Chakra amount, Gojo Yoru's Space-Time Chakra, which originally accounted for one-third, now only accounted for one-fifth.
Secondly, whether it was a space-time talent or the evolution affecting Gojo Yoru's brain and nerves...
In the past six months, Gojo Yoru clearly discovered that his talent had also greatly improved, and his progress was a bit scary.
Students and teachers at the Ninja Academy all thought Gojo Yoru was a genius.
But only Gojo Yoru knew that he couldn't really be called a genius.
To be precise, he was completely incomparable to those geniuses seen once in a decade, or even once in several decades.
Sleeping early and waking up early every day, along with sufficient nutrition, allowed his Chakra amount to far exceed his peers.
But in front of the five-year-old Hatake Kakashi, he wasn't even fit to carry his shoes.
After refining Chakra, Gojo Yoru began practicing tree climbing and water walking to improve his Chakra control. He had long mastered the Three Body Technique, crushing his peers in strength; even sixth-grade seniors were no match for him.
But Namikaze Minato, in just one semester, almost turned the tables on him relying on terrifying reaction speed.
Not to mention Orochimaru; even the Hokage's granddaughter, Tsunade, who possessed Senju blood, couldn't overshadow his brilliance.
He couldn't compare to these monsters without Kekkei Genkai, let alone those Kekkei Genkai geniuses.
If he hadn't awakened the Space-Time Kekkei Genkai, once his intelligence advantage was gone, it would be inevitable for Gojo Yoru to be left far behind by Namikaze Minato.
This was the gap in talent, something that hard work couldn't bridge. Only by cheating could one contend with and surpass it!
But now, Gojo Yoru was fully qualified to bear the title of "genius."
Because Gojo Yoru discovered that his thinking had become more agile, and his reaction speed had become stronger.
Watching Namikaze Minato fight, or being matched with him again, Gojo Yoru no longer felt strained. He finally experienced the advantage brought by quick reactions.
The feeling that the opponent's movements were like slow motion while he was in fast forward was simply wonderful.
No wonder the Uchiha clan's Sharingan fascinated Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo so much.
Under this change, Gojo Yoru's training in Ninjutsu and Chakra control also became twice as effective with half the effort.
This was the reason for his arrogance!
In just these short six months, Gojo Yoru's Body Flicker had improved terrifyingly.
Just like how the incomplete Rasenshuriken could be thrown immediately after adding Senjutsu Chakra...
Gojo Yoru still couldn't merge ordinary Chakra and Space-Time Chakra to perform Five Elements Ninjutsu, but he could merge them to perform the Body Flicker Technique.
The Body Flicker Technique combined with Space-Time Chakra not only saw a surge in speed but also made him like a silent ghost.
Once Gojo Yoru could cover his whole body with Space-Time Chakra during high-speed movement, merging into space, his Body Flicker would no longer have resistance and could pass through all obstacles. He would definitely become even more ghostly.
Extending this further, perhaps it wouldn't be Body Flicker, but true Teleportation.
This was also the direction Gojo Yoru was striving for!
After the pain subsided, Gojo Yoru continued to use Body Flicker to leap through the forest.
It wasn't until the sun set and the twilight could no longer shine through the leaves that Gojo Yoru used Body Flicker to return home.
After dinner, Gojo Yoru entered the basement, which was covered in curse markings likely used to block sensing and X-ray vision. However, he wasn't there to modify or supplement his "Game Strategy." Instead, he formed hand seals to mobilize the Space-Time Chakra in his body.
The next second, Gojo Yoru's figure slowly sank into the ground, quietly leaving Konoha.
Gojo Yoru didn't know if Sarutobi Hiruzen had mastered the Telescope Technique yet, or if he would coincidentally sweep over this area.
Nor did he know if, as a civilian genius and an orphan who lost both parents, he had already attracted Shimura Danzo's attention.
Just in case, Gojo Yoru never practiced high-level Ninjutsu other than Body Flicker and C-rank Five Elements Ninjutsu at home or in the village.
It wasn't that he was afraid of being targeted by them, but rather worried that they would cherish his talent and force him to graduate early.
After all, Uchiha Itachi used the Shadow Clone Technique in the first grade, and the school teachers thought they had nothing left to teach him, so they helped him apply for early graduation.
Perhaps this was also the reason that led to the Uchiha clan's demise.
A six-year-old child who hadn't learned any cultural knowledge was graduated early just because he was too strong. Wasn't that just an illiterate person with powerful strength?
No wonder he had no brains!
