Chapter 8 Changes in Talent
After leaving the school, Gojo Yoru didn't go home, but instead instantly arrived at the Nanka River.
At this time, the Uchiha clan had not yet been forced to relocate to the vicinity of the Naka River, so this area was sparsely populated.
Above the Nanhe River are cliffs and forests.
At this moment, a black shadow was leaping among the treetops in the forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, unlike other ninjas' instantaneous movements, it sometimes makes a slightly piercing sound. If the chakra is not properly controlled, the feet can also shake off leaves and leave permanent footprints on the treetops.
The afterimage passed through the treetops without making a sound or leaving a trace.
Although the speed isn't particularly fast, this level of chakra control is something even an all-around Jonin who has mastered at least two nature transformations would find hard to match.
Without a doubt, this is a master of instantaneous movement.
boom--
After leaping through the forest for a long time, the afterimage suddenly crashed into a large tree that would take several people to encircle, making a heavy thud. The person was stuck to the tree like a painting before slowly falling down.
"Ouch...it hurts so much!"
Upon landing, Gojo Yoru covered her already flushed face with both hands, gasping for breath in pain.
If Gojo Yoru's classmates saw this, her image would absolutely collapse instantly.
Touching his nose, which wasn't deformed from the impact, Gojo Yoru stared at the large tree in front of him, thinking to himself, "Movement warfare through walls is still too difficult."
That's right, Gojo Yoru just now tried to use his space-time abilities to pass through this tree, but he failed.
This was also Gojo Yoru's first attempt.
His remarkable growth during this period inevitably made him somewhat arrogant.
Gojo Yoru originally thought that the evolution only allowed some of his cells to extract spacetime energy.
In retrospect, it was a comprehensive upgrade.
Seven months have passed since I awakened my spatial abilities.
During these seven months, Gojo Yoru's body underwent tremendous changes.
Firstly, regarding his height, at only seven years old this year, he has already grown to 1.43 meters tall.
This height is actually quite ordinary in the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village, where blacks and whites are everywhere.
However, in Konoha and other ninja villages, he stood out from the crowd among his peers.
After all, when Naruto Uzumaki graduated at the age of twelve, he was only 1.47 meters tall.
Just as my classmate said, if you didn't know better, you would think that Gojo Yoru was a fifth or sixth grader.
The precocious development of his body also caused Gojo Yoru's chakra reserves to surge dramatically. His chakra reserves, which were already larger than those of an ordinary genin, have now probably surpassed those of an ordinary chunin.
Although he can't compare to Kakashi Hatake, who could use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique in his first year, Yoru Gojo is fully qualified to learn the Shadow Clone Technique and the Rasengan.
However, with the surge in chakra, Gojou Yoru's spacetime chakra level dropped from one-third to only one-fifth.
Secondly, it's unclear whether it's a talent for space-time or this evolution that affected Gojou Yoru's brain and nerves.
In the past six months, Gojo Yoru has clearly noticed that his talent has also improved dramatically, and the progress is somewhat frightening.
The students and teachers at the Ninja Academy all considered Gojo Yoru to be a genius.
But only Gojo Yoru knew that he wasn't actually a genius.
To be precise, he is completely incomparable to those geniuses who are rare, perhaps only appearing once every ten years, or even once every few decades.
His early bedtime and early rising, along with ample nutrition, resulted in his chakra reserves far exceeding those of his peers.
But in front of five-year-old Kakashi Hatake, he wasn't even qualified to carry his shoes.
After refining his chakra, Gojo Yoru began practicing tree climbing and water walking to improve his chakra control. He had already mastered the Three Body Techniques and his strength far surpassed that of his peers; even the sixth-year students were no match for him.
But Minato Namikaze, in just one semester, almost killed him with his terrifying reflexes.
Orochimaru goes without saying; even Tsunade, the Hokage's granddaughter with the Senju bloodline, couldn't outshine him.
They can't compare to these monsters without bloodline limits, let alone those geniuses with bloodlines.
If Gojo Yoru hadn't awakened his space-time bloodline limit, it would have been inevitable that he would have been left far behind by Minato Namikaze once the intelligence advantage was gone.
This is the difference in talent, which cannot be made up for by hard work. Only by having extraordinary abilities can one compete with and surpass it!
But now, Gojo Yoru is 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 Minato Namikaze fight, or after being matched with him again, Gojo Yoru no longer felt particularly strained and finally experienced the advantage of quick reflexes.
The feeling of watching the other person's movements in slow motion while you're moving in fast-forward is simply wonderful.
No wonder Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura were so obsessed with the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.
Under these changes, Gojo Yaren's training in ninjutsu and chakra control became much more efficient.
That's why he became arrogant!
In just six months, Gojou Yoru's Body Flicker Technique has improved by an astonishing amount.
Just like a half-finished Rasengan, once Sage Chakra is added, it can be thrown immediately.
While Gojo Yoru is still unable to fuse ordinary chakra and space-time chakra to perform the Five Elements Escape Technique, he can fuse them to perform the Body Flicker Technique.
The Body Flicker Technique, combined with space-time chakra, not only increases speed dramatically but also makes one appear like a silent ghost.
When Gojo Yoru is able to cover his entire body with space-time chakra during a mobile battle, he will be able to merge with space, his body-flickering will no longer be hindered, and he will be able to pass through all obstacles, making him even more ghostly.
If we take it a step further, it might not just be a blink of an eye, but a true teleportation.
This is also the direction that Gojo Yoru is striving for!
After relieving the pain, Gojo Yoru continued to leap through the forest in a flash.
It wasn't until the sun set and the afterglow could no longer penetrate the leaves that Gojo Yoru returned home in a flash.
After dinner, Gojo Yoru entered the basement, which was covered in incantations and was probably used to block perception and clairvoyance. However, he did not come to modify or supplement the "game guide". Instead, he formed hand seals and mobilized the space-time chakra within his body.
The next second, Gojo Yoru's figure slowly sank into the ground, quietly leaving Konoha.
Gojo Yoru didn't know if Hiruzen Sarutobi had mastered the Crystal Telescope technique, or if it might happen to scan his area.
It's unclear whether, as a commoner genius or an orphan who lost both parents, he has already attracted the attention of Danzo Shimura.
Just in case, Gojo Yoru never trains advanced ninjutsu other than Body Flicker Technique and C-rank Five Elements Escape Technique at home or in the village.
It wasn't that I was afraid of being targeted by them, but rather that I was worried they might take a liking to my talent and force Gojo Yoru to graduate early.
After all, Itachi Uchiha used the Shadow Clone Technique in his first year, and the school teachers thought there was nothing left to teach him, so they helped him apply for early graduation.
Perhaps this is also the reason why the Uchiha clan was wiped out.
A six-year-old child who has not learned any cultural knowledge is allowed to graduate early just because he is too strong. Isn't that just an illiterate person with great power?
No wonder he's brainless!
