The Hokage Ryos Path
Chapter 132: Increasing Ice Teleportation

The next day, Ryo arrived at the 3rd training ground very early. He had spent the entire night thinking about Minato's approach to improving the Ice Teleportation.

The Ice Ryo teleportation allowed him to instantly blink up to 50 meters as long as there was Ice in the place where he blinked. It goes without saying that this movement, being instantaneous, was even faster than his Flicker in the Ice Lightning Chakra Mode.

If he could overcome the limits of his distance, Ryo would have a technique somewhat on par with the Flying Thunder God, which might also carry more possibilities than that.

Minato arrived much later, along with Kushina, Kakashi, Obito and Rin. After handing over the Trio training to Kushina, Minato began working with Ryo.

Ryo's Ice Teleport looks like Kekkei Genkai to Minato. He speculates that Ryo used his own Ice Chakra to find external ice and achieve spatial movements.

The reason why Minato was able to determine that Ryo's technique was true teleportation was the fact that he was much more sensitive to Space-Time Fluctuations than most people.

When Ryo used his Ice Teleportation, Minato could clearly sense the fluctuations in the structure of space. That was why he had estimated Ryo to have an extraordinary talent for Space Perception.

The first step in training was to get Ryo to try to understand space. Minato covered Ryo's eyes and placed dozens of Lightning God Kunai around Ryo, and he blinked between them nonstop.

Ryo enters sage mode, and following Minato's direction, he tries to sense the fluctuations of the surrounding space structure.

Even with the increase in perception brought about by the Hermit Mode, Ryo was still unable to catch any fluctuations, so the latter could only stop.

In theory, the use of Es Ryo teleportation should have meant that he already had some level of development in terms of his space perception.

The two begin to think about what went wrong, until Minato notices Ryo's use of the Ice Surgical Knife.

With that he realized that Ryo's space perception should be limited to the existence of Ice.

He then held the Ice Surgical Knife in his hand, and repeated the same exercise as Ryo.

With the guidance of the scalpel, and Minato who was continuously using the Flying Lightning God, Ryo finally started to feel the fluctuations in the structure of space.

Next, Minato threw out the Ice Surgical Knife and continued, this time, Ryo could clearly see the fluctuations of the space by using the Anchor Mode.

After completing this first step, Ryo placed the Ice Surgical Knife at a distance of 100 Meters from Ryo.

“Ryo, what you have to do now is find a way to feel this Ice Surgical Knife that is 100 meters away. With this practice, you have to rely on yourself; I can't help you. The only clue I can give you is to make the most of what you have learned with previous practice.”

Ryo nodded, closed his eyes and focused his mental strength into the distance. He could actually feel the scalpel in the distance, but had no way to connect it to the blade.

In reality, Ryo had a special relationship with his ice. This link was what his Ice Teleportation was based on, but its range was only 50 meters.

Minato said that he had to find a way to "fold" the space, and that would make this link ignore this distance, rather than him being able to overcome his Teleportation distance limit.

Over the next few days, Ryo kept thinking about the process of "folding space". Unfortunately, he got nothing.

One of Ryo's strongest treats is his perception ability. In both of the lives he had, it kept helping him from time to time.

Then he did the same, calling Rashomon this time.on both occasions, he carefully sensed the flow of Chakras in space.

"Calling" is also a Space-Time Jutsu. This time Jutsu by ignoring distance is the biggest application of Space Folding. Ryo did the summoning several times in a row, and finally found a clue to understanding Space Folding.

After releasing Summoning, Ryo closed his eyes and tried to find the scalpel in the distance with his mental strength.

With spiritual power and Chakra as his medium, Ryo was finally able to complete Space Folding, and made that special link with the scalpel that at that time was more than 200 meters away from him.

With this link, Ryo finally completed long-distance teleportation for the first time!

After going through the most difficult steps, the next exercise becomes simpler. With Minato's guidance, Ryo raises his Ice Surgical Blade, granting him a bit of spiritual power.

This way, as long as the Ice was within its sensing Range, Ryo could “fold the space” and complete teleportation.

Ryo's Teleportation distance limit was finally dealt with under the joint efforts of him and Minato.

To Ryo, while this technique was comparable to the Flying Lightning God in speed, and perhaps even more flexible, it was clearly less practical, as it did not allow him to teleport people and non-frozen objects.

To solve this problem, Minato suggested that Ryo study the [Teleportation Barrier]

, which is the time space seal.

In Minato's words, the Ice Ryo teleportation had more potential than the Flying Thunder God in battle. This is the most important. For anything else, it was enough for Ryo to learn the Teleportation Barrier technique.

After Minato's explanation, Ryo realized Minato's [Teleportation Barrier] Nature.

It was actually a special seal that combined the folding of space with the fuinjutsu Uzumaki.

The biggest effect was to allow long-distance teleportation. The reason why Minato developed this technique was because the Flying Lightning God had special limitations under special circumstances. The development of Minato's special mark was to cover up his engineering flaws.

Ryo is somewhat curious about this particular situation, and Minato replies by mentioning the incident with the 2nd Hokage when he was able to teleport from his death.

Ryo was so shocked, he did not expect Tobirama's death to be related to such a matter.

However, this explained why the 2nd Hokage did not use the Flying Lightning God when he and his team were pushed into a desperate situation, staying behind instead of dying to save the lives of his disciples.

Minato did not mention any clear details about the incident, as these were only things that were vaguely explained to him in the past.

Afterwards, Minato handed over his mark to Ryo for analysis, and the latter learned how to make his own "Teleportation Barrier" mark by relying on his understanding of the Folding Room and Uzumaki's fuinjutsu. With that, the training is over.

Ryo left a mark on his family's quarters, the Deathly Forest, the 3rd Training Ground, and almost all the places they frequented. From then on, there was another person who could teleport long distances other than Minato!
