Chapter 144 Flying Thunder God
Boruto learns that in order to master the Flying Thunder God Technique, he must learn how to use his own chakra to carve a unique Flying Thunder God mark on a shuriken, which is a crucial step in performing this ninjutsu.
Boruto took a shuriken from his ninja tool pouch and began to ponder, "What kind of mark should I engrave on this shuriken...?"
After a moment of contemplation, Boruto slowly placed his hand on the shuriken, preparing to try to infuse it with his chakra, hoping to leave his own mark on the shuriken.
Boruto followed the chakra flow path described on the scroll, slowly guiding the chakra within his body, letting it flow along his arm to his palm, and gradually injecting it into the shuriken.
As Boruto continued to inject chakra into his body, the surface of the shuriken began to emit a faint glow, and a unique pattern gradually appeared on the metal surface of the shuriken, marking the appearance of the Flying Thunder God Seal.
However, the pattern only lasted for a short time on the shuriken before gradually fading and disappearing completely. It is clear that Boruto has not yet been able to successfully inscribe the Flying Thunder God Technique on the shuriken.
Although Boruto did not succeed immediately, he was not discouraged. After all, the Flying Thunder God Technique is an advanced ninjutsu with an S-rank difficulty level, and through this attempt, Boruto has already grasped some key techniques.
As Boruto focused on practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique, Fukasaku stepped out of the small wooden house and called out to Boruto, "Boruto, it's about time you rested. You need to remember to balance work and rest when you're training."
At this time, the hermit Fukasaku had already prepared a set of bedding in the wooden house, providing Boruto with a place to rest on Mount Myōboku.
Boruto responded to Fukasaku's call with a "Yes," then put away his shuriken and followed Fukasaku back to the cabin.
Late at night, Boruto lay in his bedding, unable to fall asleep. So, while Fukasaku was fast asleep, he quietly left the room and walked out of the cabin.
Boruto continued his training in the dim light of night, practicing until dawn before returning to his cabin to rest.
......
The next morning, Boruto woke up from his sleep, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and quickly walked to the living room with a slightly drowsy look on his face.
At that moment, Fukasaku was sitting at the dining table, enjoying his breakfast. When he saw Boruto appear, he greeted him, "Boruto, you're awake."
Boruto looked around and noticed that only Fukasaku was present, so he asked Fukasaku, "Grandpa Fukasaku, you're up so early! Where's Grandma Fukasaku?"
Fukasaku smiled and responded to Boruto's question: "Your wife went out to catch fresh bugs for you after making breakfast. Bugs taste best at this time of day. Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen your wife so happy. Boruto, you're in for a treat tonight."
Boruto was somewhat embarrassed. He scratched his cheek, unaware that a bead of cold sweat had appeared on his forehead: "Hehehe...Is that so...?"
......
Beside the pool formed by toad oil, Boruto, under the careful guidance of the sage Fukasaku, begins to mobilize the natural energy within his body to prepare to lift the toad statue not far away.
As the natural energy within his body gradually gathered, Boruto began to lift the toad statue in front of him. In a short while, Boruto successfully lifted the toad statue, which was tens of meters high, demonstrating his ability to control natural energy.
Fukasaku nodded in satisfaction, then said to Boruto, "Boruto, now you can try to stop relying on toad oil and mobilize the natural energy within your body."
Fukasaku was extremely surprised by Boruto's training speed. He found that Boruto's progress far exceeded that of Jiraiya, who spent much more time practicing Sage Mode than Boruto.
After a full day of arduous training yesterday, Boruto has been able to use the natural energy-attracting properties of toad oil to create a sage-like face on his own face, and his body has not shown any abnormal signs of frog transformation.
Boruto then asked Fukasaku, "So, Grandpa Sage, what should I do next?"
"Come with me." With these words, Fukasaku lightly leaped among the heads of the many toad statues, gesturing for Boruto to follow him to the next training location.
As Boruto watched Fukasaku's departing figure, he immediately quickened his pace and followed closely behind. After running for a short while, Fukasaku led Boruto to a complex stone forest.
At that moment, Fukasaku picked up a stone slab from the ground and explained to Boruto, "Next, you need to climb to the top of the mountain and start meditating there using this stone slab in my hand. It can improve your ability to absorb natural energy."
After saying these words, the hermit Fukasaku grabbed the stone slab in his hand, leaped up, and jumped to the top of the mountain. He then began to personally demonstrate the movements of meditation.
Boruto looked at the footholds on the mountaintop, which were so small that they were not even as wide as his thumb, but he did not hesitate because of this.
Boruto quickly picked up a stone slab from the ground, concentrated his chakra in the soles of his feet, and then began to speed towards the mountain peak.
Boruto placed the stone slab at the center of the force, then leaped forward, landing directly on the slab while maintaining his balance and stability.
Just then, a gentle breeze swept by, causing the stone slabs beneath Boruto's feet to sway slightly, making Boruto's body sway gently as well.
With a smile, the sage Fukasaku slowly spoke: "Don't worry, if you really are going to fall, I will catch you in time."
Boruto understood what Fukasaku meant, nodded, then clasped his hands together, steadied himself, and began to meditate, absorbing the fluctuating natural energy around him.
Fukasaku looked at Boruto with satisfaction, seeing that he had entered the correct meditative state, and praised him softly, "Very good, little Boruto."
Fukasaku continued to guide Boruto: "Now, try to guide the natural energy around you and let it slowly flow into your body."
Fukasaku's attention was focused on two things: first, to keep a close watch on Boruto and make sure he wouldn't fall off the mountain due to a sudden imbalance of force; and second, to make sure that the natural energy within Boruto's body did not exceed the control range of his own chakra.
