"Yeah, the Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Technique—if used well, it's absolutely a devastating weapon on the battlefield."
Minato Namikaze looked at the formula inscribed on his ninja blade, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"Come on, Minato, shall we give it a try?"
Hearing that, Minato's curiosity about the new jutsu was fully piqued, and he agreed without hesitation.
"Alright! Let's do it. We'll each mark the other, and then test it out."
As he spoke, both of them left their formulas on each other.
The "Daddy's here" mark from Gekko Chizan appeared on Minato Namikaze's body.
While Minato's "The Sword of Endurance and Love" mark manifested on Gekko Chizan.
Chizan suddenly hurled his kunai with force.
As it landed, he raised one hand in front of his chest. "Flying Thunder God!"
Whoosh!
Minato instantly vanished from Chizan's side, replaced by the kunai.
And Minato reappeared dozens of meters away—exactly at the spot where Chizan had thrown the kunai earlier.
"Hahaha! It really works! Since I have your formula on me, I can be transported anywhere you've placed a mark, under your control."
"Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving—this is seriously useful!"
Minato teleported back to Chizan with another Flying Thunder God, now laughing in delight.
After all, he'd always flown around alone, and now finally someone could fly around with him.
This feeling of pairing up and teleporting together was amazing.
Standing to the side, Gekko Chizan was also smiling—but his smile had an odd, eerie undertone.
"It really is effective. Minato, want to try testing the range?"
"See if you can teleport to the coordinates I marked earlier?"
Minato was immediately up for it.
"Let's do it, partner! Take me farther!"
But Minato was still too young. If Jiraiya had been with him...
Jiraiya definitely would've warned him: don't try it—because when Gekko Chizan starts scheming, he's ruthless!
"Get ready, Minato! I'm casting the jutsu now!"
Since it was a long-distance teleportation, Chizan made ample preparations.
Minato nodded repeatedly.
The next second, Flying Thunder God activated.
Minato Namikaze disappeared in an instant.
Seeing him vanish, Gekko Chizan sprang into action.
He decisively erased the "The Sword of Endurance and Love" formula from his own body.
Then turned and ran at full speed!
As for Minato Namikaze, all he experienced was a flash of light.
The once-empty field around him was suddenly filled with rising steam. As he tried to figure out where he had landed...
Screams pierced his ears.
"Ahhh! A pervert!"
"A peeping pervert snuck into the women's bath!"
"Catch the pervert!"
"Aaaahhhhhh!"
Minato Namikaze froze on the spot.
Turns out the steam was from hot water—no wonder everything felt damp.
But he quickly realized—this wasn't right!
Why was he in a bathhouse!?
Gekko Chizan, you bastard! You tricked me!
The clever Minato now wished he could die. The sight of all that bare, white flesh completely stunned him.
No wonder Jiraiya-sensei—wait, no! This was not the time to think about that!
Instinctively, Minato tried to activate the Flying Thunder God Mutually Instantaneous Revolving Technique. But just as he began to gather chakra, he was shocked to discover—
The formula he had placed on Gekko Chizan was gone.
Damn it, he got played!
To hell with it—he had to escape first!
Unlike Gekko Chizan, who had coordinates all over the village, Minato's formula marks were all on his person.
So right now, he had nowhere to teleport to.
And the women's attacks had already begun.
Clothes, towels, soap, bath sponges—all flying toward his head.
Yes, even... bras.
They turned young Minato's face red as an apple.
With no other choice, he smashed through a window and escaped in utter disgrace.
Within half a day, the story of Minato Namikaze dropping into the women's bathhouse had spread to every corner of the village.
When Gekko Chizan heard the news, he laughed so hard he nearly passed out.
But karma came fast.
That night, there was a knock on his door.
He opened it—and was greeted immediately by a fist.
"Ow! Who the hell sucker-punched me?!"
Chizan, still chatting with Sayo, had let his guard down and was completely unprepared. That one punch gave him a black eye.
When he looked out the door and saw who it was, sweat instantly poured down his face.
Because standing there was a red-haired fury, her rage levels maxed out—the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero of Konoha, Uzumaki Kushina.
"Oh! Isn't it Kushina-san? What brings you here... ow, that really hurt!"
Chizan already knew why she was here—because behind Kushina stood another person. Also battered and bruised.
Minato Namikaze.
"Hmph! So now you know why I hit you, don't you?"
Looking at Kushina cracking her knuckles, Gekko Chizan felt true terror for the first time in ages.
A fear that came from deep within.
This was Konoha's Red Hot-Blooded Habanero. "Violent" wasn't even enough to describe her. You had to go with "savage."
"I..."
"I'm warning you—not even think about using Flying Thunder God. That punch just now? I slapped Minato's formula right onto your face."
"What???"
Chizan was stunned. What the hell? That punch had a bonus effect??
Minato grinned. He was holding his marked ninja blade in his hand, clearly showing his intent.
If Chizan dared to teleport, the next second both Minato and Kushina would follow.
Meaning: don't even think about running. Wherever you go, we'll be right behind.
"Uh, I wasn't gonna run! C'mon, with our bond, why would I run? Right?"
"Hehehe..."
Cold sweat ran down Chizan's back.
It's over. I'm so screwed.
The next second, Kushina began to unleash a savage beating on Gekko Chizan.
Even Chomei didn't dare peek out.
Come on, this was the future Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. Even though she wasn't a Jinchuriki yet, the terrifying chakra of the Uzumaki clan was constantly reminding Chomei:
This girl was not someone to mess with.
As a pitiful little Seven-Tails, better to stay hidden. Getting discovered would be the end.
It's said that after that day, Gekko Chizan didn't leave his house for a whole week—just stayed inside healing his wounds.
At the same time, the three of them grew closer.
Especially Gekko Chizan and Minato Namikaze. After being crushed by Kushina together, they often got together to study the mysteries of the Flying Thunder God.
And after the bathhouse incident, it was as if Minato had opened a new door.
He became extremely enthusiastic about collecting "research materials," though he always played the support role.
The one actually carrying things out was still Gekko Chizan.
Which left Chizan rather baffled.
At the same time, he mentally cursed out all those people in his past life who said Minato Namikaze was a proper gentleman.
Proper gentleman, my ass. He's clearly one of those deeply hidden perverts!
