Chapter 176: Shock From Flying Thunder God Technique, Yuichi Drowned By Raging Waves
"Teleportation?"
Yuichi said this intentionally for the people of his own world to hear.
He knew exactly what ability Tobirama had just used.
The Flying Thunder God Technique!
It was an extremely powerful space-time ninjutsu. This technique was the very creation of the man standing before him, the Second Hokage. Although the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was often cited as using the Flying Thunder God Technique more effectively, as its creator, the Second Hokage was hardly inferior to the "Golden Flash."
After Yuichi uttered the word "teleportation," Whitebeard and the others, who had been staring intently at the light curtain, immediately grew grave.
"Teleportation? You mean it's not just pure speed? No wonder even I couldn't track his movement trajectory just now!" Whitebeard's voice carried a trace of concern.
Could Yuichi handle this kind of opponent?
If it were merely speed, that would be one thing, but space-time manipulation was an entirely different beast. Yuichi's advantage, which relied heavily on his incredible speed, was now effectively nullified.
Kaido, Big Mom, and Shanks were equally worried, their expressions darkening with surprise. They hadn't expected such a broken ability to exist in the other world—the power to travel through space and jump instantaneously.
The situation had taken a turn for the worse.
"What teleportation?"
"What is Yuichi talking about?"
Ordinary civilians couldn't quite grasp the concept.
On the light curtain, Yuichi turned slowly, locking eyes with Tobirama, who had appeared on a distant reef.
Before Yuichi could speak, Tobirama broke the silence. "Impressive... You truly are an amazing opponent."
"I didn't expect a human to possess such raw speed. If I didn't rely on the Flying Thunder God Technique, I'm afraid you would have finished me off just now!"
Flying Thunder God Technique? What is that?
In the stands, the spectators from the Pirate World were burning with curiosity. Conversely, on the other side of the audience, the ninjas from the Ninja World were buzzing with excitement upon hearing the name.
"Is that really the Flying Thunder God?"
"It's so fast... The Fourth Hokage of Konoha became the 'Yellow Flash' of the Ninja World relying on this very technique!"
"Does Lord Second use it too?"
Hearing the chatter, an older ninja in the audience curled his lip disdainfully. "Idiots! Of course Lord Second can use it. The Flying Thunder God Technique was created by Lord Second himself!"
The young ninjas around him gasped in amazement. The older ninja then looked toward the opposing stands with a smug expression.
"The Flying Thunder God isn't simply about moving fast," he declared loudly, ensuring the pirates could hear. "This is a technique that involves spatial manipulation. No matter how fast someone is, it is impossible to be faster than the Flying Thunder God! As long as there is a 'coordinate' marked, Lord Second can jump instantly from any location directly to that mark!"
After finishing his explanation, the ninja glanced at the pirates with pride, as if he possessed the ability himself.
The pirates, now understanding the mechanics, felt a chill run down their spines.
Spatial abilities? Wasn't that practically cheating?
With such a power, one could instantly teleport away to dodge any attack. How could Yuichi possibly defeat such an opponent? He wouldn't even be able to touch him!
"Damn it... to have such a shameless ability!"
The people of the Pirate World felt a wave of despair for Yuichi. However, Yuichi himself, standing in the eye of the storm, did not look anxious.
Suddenly, Tobirama threw a dozen specially crafted kunai toward the surrounding reefs. These kunai, marked with the Flying Thunder God formula, provided him with multiple footholds, allowing him to dodge or adjust his position for a surprise attack at any moment.
Yuichi glanced indifferently at the positions of the marked kunai.
At that moment, Tobirama initiated his offense.
His speed was blinding. His hands flew, fingers weaving complex signs like dancing butterflies. The sequence was completed almost instantly.
Tobirama looked at Yuichi, who hadn't made a reckless move, and a glimmer of appreciation flashed in his eyes. While caution was a good trait, Tobirama didn't believe Yuichi was capable of countering his technique.
"You are fast and powerful, but it's a pity you met me," Tobirama said. "You seem confident in your speed, but against my Flying Thunder God, you are helpless!"
Tobirama glanced around the battlefield. Even though he wasn't one to underestimate an opponent, he felt a genuine sense of advantage.
"This battlefield favors me greatly. You cannot break through my Flying Thunder God, and the terrain is my domain. You cannot win this battle!"
As his voice fell, a burst of chakra erupted.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"
Boom!
On the calm sea behind Tobirama, a terrifying current surged into the sky. A massive column of water rose, bringing with it a shroud of mist. Before the audience could process the sheer scale of the eruption, the water twisted into the shape of a dragon. It opened its massive maw and snapped toward Yuichi in the distance.
Under the veil of mist, the giant water dragon charged with astonishing momentum.
For the Pirate World, this scene was jaw-dropping.
That was the sea itself! There was someone who could control the power of the ocean—the very bane of all Devil Fruit users.
Yuichi swung his Zanpakutō immediately, slashing at the oncoming Water Dragon Bullet without a hint of fear in his eyes.
But in the next second, Tobirama vanished.
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he appeared directly behind Yuichi. And he wasn't alone.
Four Tobiramas appeared simultaneously, surrounding Yuichi from different angles. They wove hand signs in unison.
"Water Style: Water Shockwave!"
"Water Style: Water Severing Wave!"
"Water Style: Heavenly Weeping!"
Continuous Water Style attacks assaulted Yuichi from all directions.
The moment Yuichi swung Senbonzakura to intercept the water dragon, he sensed the sudden onslaught of ninjutsu from behind.
The sudden escalation of Tobirama's offense stunned not only the Pirate World but also the ninjas of the Ninja World.
Is this the power of the Second Hokage? To launch an offensive of this scale in an instant... So strong! As expected of the ancestors! The chakra reserves of the Senju clan are truly monstrous!
Ordinary ninjas, even if they possessed the strength, wouldn't dare squander their chakra so recklessly.
In the blink of an eye, the water completely engulfed Yuichi.
The spectators from the Pirate World felt their hearts leap to their throats. They watched Yuichi disappear, submerged beneath the crushing weight of the sea. The roar of the colliding waves echoed violently.
Amidst the turbulent surf, Tobirama's shadow clones vanished, leaving the main body standing on the violently tumbling waves, staring indifferently ahead.
