Chapter 59: Uchiha Shisui!

Jiraiya was truly stunned.

The Flying Thunder God Technique!

He never learned that ninjutsu!

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, the so-called Ninja Sage, never mastered it.

Even my own student, Minato Namikaze, spent a long time to master it.

How long has this little monster been around?

During the Chunin Exams?

It’s only been a year since then.

“How is this brain even built?”

Jiraiya stared at Fujinaka Genma’s skull, tempted to crack it open and look inside.

Fujinaka Genma felt uneasy under his gaze, as if Orochimaru were watching him, and quickly pulled out six Flying Thunder God kunai.

Jiraiya lowered his gaze, looked at the Flying Thunder God kunai, and immediately understood Fujinaka Genma’s intent.

Give the Flying Thunder God kunai to other Konoha jonin, and Fujinaka Genma can teleport anywhere.

And more than that.

With the Flying Thunder God Technique,

Fujinaka Genma can infiltrate deep behind enemy lines without fearing being surrounded!

“Shin!”

Jiraiya shouted outside: “Go fetch Shikamaru Nara, the Hyuga clan head, the Uchiha clan head, and all jonin not on missions.”

“Understood!”

A chunin guarding outside immediately departed.

Soon,

Shikamaru Nara arrived, followed by Hyuga Hiashi, Uchiha Fugaku, and other jonin one by one.

Soon, eight people stood inside the tent.

Once everyone was present, Jiraiya got straight to the point: “All of Itachi, I am forming a jonin elite squad centered on Fujinaka Genma as a rapid-response unit. Please nominate two additional members.”

Fujinaka Genma was surprised.

Wasn’t the plan for me to operate alone?

“Lord Jiraiya, I believe I can move faster alone.”

Fujinaka Genma said, forcing himself to speak.

Jiraiya replied: “Genma, it’s not yet time for Itachi to operate alone.”

“Itachi need your teammates’ support.”

“Minato always operated with a team. Even though Itachi’ve mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, Itachi’re still not as proficient as he was.”

As soon as he finished speaking,

All eight jonin turned sharply toward Fujinaka Genma, each stunned.

Shikamaru Nara asked: “Can Itachi already use the Flying Thunder God Technique?”

“Yes, Senior Nara!”

Fujinaka Genma explained: “I first used it against the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, and now I can use it proficiently.”

“That’s incredible!”

One jonin couldn’t help but exclaim.

Minato Namikaze earned the title “Yellow Flash” by using the Flying Thunder God Technique to vanish instantly, forcing other villages to issue orders to abandon missions upon encountering him.

Now another such person has appeared.

And he’s only fourteen.

“No wonder Minato produced such an outstanding student!”

Someone sighed with envy.

Shikamaru Nara thought for a moment, then said to Jiraiya: “If that’s the case, Lord Jiraiya, perhaps we can build our tactics around Genma’s squad.”

Jiraiya nodded. “Then let’s finalize the members first.”

As soon as he spoke, each jonin present began volunteering.

“Lord Jiraiya, I nominate Uchiha Shisui!”

Uchiha Fugaku, who had remained silent and quietly observing Fujinaka Genma, suddenly spoke.

“Shisui the Instant Movement?”

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.

The young genius of the Uchiha clan who had recently risen to fame—two years younger than Fujinaka Genma, currently twelve.

Upon hearing the name Uchiha Shisui, Fujinaka Genma’s thoughts shifted, and he looked toward Jiraiya—just as Jiraiya turned to look at him.

Their eyes met; Fujinaka Genma nodded: “Shisui the Instant Movement—I’ve heard of him. Skilled in instant movement and genjutsu. Fine.”

Then Shikamaru Nara suggested: “The remaining member could be Might Guy.”

Jiraiya’s eyes lit up.

The Eight Gates Release!

He can go all out in a critical moment!

At that moment, Hyuga Hiashi said: “Lord Jiraiya, I believe we should assign a sensory-type ninja. I nominate Hyuga Hizashi.”

Following Fujinaka Genma means undertaking extremely dangerous missions—but the rewards will be great too.

The Uchiha clan has stepped forward; how could the Hyuga clan fall behind?

Most importantly, Hyuga Hiashi knew of the relationship between Hyuga Yumiko and Fujinaka Genma.

Fujinaka Genma considered it, then said: “Senior Guy isn’t suitable. In his normal state, he likely can’t keep up with my speed.”

“Senior Hizashi is perfect. I truly need eyes that can see the entire battlefield.”

Jiraiya and Shikamaru Nara exchanged glances and both nodded, respecting Fujinaka Genma’s choice.

Thus,

The new Genma Squad was formed.

Fujinaka Genma, Hyuga Hizashi, Uchiha Shisui!

And now,

Jiraiya, Shikamaru Nara, and the others began devising tactics centered on the Genma Squad.

The first point was simple.

Have other squads carry Fujinaka Genma’s Flying Thunder God kunai, then have Fujinaka Genma teleport to each one.

But that would consume a lot of chakra.

A better approach: send the squad behind Mist ninja lines to plant Flying Thunder God kunai, then have Fujinaka Genma teleport directly there and unleash his full power.

Strike and flee!

Even riskier: locate the Mist ninja command center and assassinate their commander with pinpoint precision.

Around 4 p.m.,

Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Hizashi returned from their missions; the new Genma Squad was officially formed.

In a makeshift training ground cleared in the forest, Fujinaka Genma met the two for the first time.

“Senior Genma!”

Uchiha Shisui bowed respectfully, his gaze toward Fujinaka Genma filled with admiration.

“Captain Genma!”

Hyuga Hizashi also bowed.

“Shisui, just call me Captain.”

Fujinaka Genma smiled warmly, then returned Hyuga Hizashi’s bow: “Senior Hizashi, I look forward to your guidance.”

Watching the gentle, calm Fujinaka Genma, Hyuga Hizashi inwardly sighed: “Hearing of him was nothing compared to meeting him.”

The three exchanged a few pleasantries.

Fujinaka Genma then proposed: “We begin our mission tomorrow—we have little time. Let’s start training now!”

“Shisui, Hizashi, attack me with your full strength.”

With the chain of command established, age no longer mattered.

“Yes!”

“Understood!”

Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Hizashi responded in turn.

White lightning flickered across Fujinaka Genma’s body; Uchiha Shisui’s double tomoe Sharingan activated.

Considering Uchiha Shisui was only twelve, his double tomoe was already astonishing.

“I wonder if my presence will delay his awakening of the three tomoe.”

Fujinaka Genma thought to himself.

“Captain, I’m coming!”

Uchiha Shisui warned, then vanished from his spot.

Almost simultaneously, Fujinaka Genma vanished too.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The sound of clashing metal and iron rang out densely, sparks flying through the air and lightning flashing constantly.

Hyuga Hizashi, who had not yet moved, inwardly marveled: “Truly deserving of the title genius—such speed at this age.”

Suddenly, a senbon shot toward him like a streak of lightning.

Hyuga Hizashi raised his kunai and blocked with a sharp clang; the senbon bounced away, and immediately Fujinaka Genma appeared where the senbon had been, a spiraling ball in his hand.

Boom!

Dust rolled in thick clouds.

Hyuga Hizashi barely avoided the strike, his back drenched in cold sweat—he had come perilously close to being hit.

“This is the Flying Thunder God Technique—what astonishing speed!”

Hyuga Hizashi inwardly marveled, then charged at Fujinaka Genma, while Uchiha Shisui attacked once more.
