Who is the user of this technique?

Kisui Iyoku

How will they learn this technique?

Kisui's always striving to learn new techniques to keep his battle strategies fresh. A lot of the time, he relied on the ancient shinobi spirit that resided alongside his for advice. Kisui was about twenty two at around this time. The spirit felt that Kisui's speed was somewhat lacking, and gave advice on how to improve it. Kisui never considered himself the fast type, but if it's something that would improve his skills, he'd do it. Following tips from the spirit, Kisui tried many different things to increase his speed, but nothing really worked in a way that Kisui felt were of benefit to him. The spirit, having been around since the days of the First and Second Hokage, remembered Tobirama using a technique that transpired space and time itself, a near instant teleportation technique known as the Flying Thunder God. The only two things the spirit remembered specifically about the technique was the requirement of a special formula, and that it required an immense amount of concentration to perform.

Having spent five years of traveling had given Kisui some insight on certain things, but the Flying Thunder God technique was rather new to him, despite the technique itself being old, and would probably require more digging into in order to find the proper formula. As luck would have it, Kisui stumbled upon a formula; One left in a forest by Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, during his battle with A and B. It was placed on a kunai left hanging in a tree and was just barely legible, but the formula was there. Spending the rest of the night in an inn at Konohagakure, Kisui began deciphering the formula, figuring out the proper kanji that were used to create the formula. It was more difficult since the spirit couldn't help, primarily because even if he knew the formula from Tobirama's usage of the technique, Minato's was far different. After several hours of deciphering, Kisui finally figured out the kanji on the kunai. Having written it down on a note, he would begin training on it the next day.

That following morning, Kisui returned to the forest where he found the kunai, figuring it would be as good a spot as any to train. The spirit advised him that intense concentration was key in utilizing the technique, and recommended trying short distances first, then increasing the distance with each successful attempt. Agreeing, Kisui placed the formula on a patch of dirt, creating a seal over the ground where he would teleport at. Starting off at ten feet, Kisui began his first attempt at the technique. Despite his concentrations, nothing was happening. At that point, Kisui realized something; If it transpires space and time, a void would have to be created. Instead of concentrating on where he should go, he learned he would have to concentrate on creating two voids; One to enter, and the other that is anchored to the seal. By this point, he learned it was going to be a lot more difficult than he realized. The spirit decided to chip in how he could, using his chakra to combine with Kisui's to give him a boost. To make things a bit more simpler, Kisui would create the first rift, then start concentrating on an anchor to the next. Having created the rift, it pulled him into a dimension between space and time, where both cease to flow. Utilizing visual memory, Kisui created the second rift, connecting it to the formula seal. The first attempt was partially successful. He managed to go through the void, but it sent him through faster than he expected, ending it in a rather painful faceplant.

Having gotten the basics of the technique down, all that was left was to stick the landing. It took several attempts, each of them not only causing painful landings, but also taking a big hit in his and the spirit's chakra as well. Such intense amounts of concentration requires a strong flow of chakra, one that Kisui hopes will be reduced the more he uses the technique. Over the course of the next few weeks, Kisui's landing improved, but he was still using up a lot of chakra. Having felt he got the landing down, it was time to train in chakra reduction; Each time he did the technique, he would reduce the amount of chakra used and keep using it at that level until he could properly use the technique with reduced chakra. Weeks of training turned into months, but Kisui finally got it down to where he could use it without utilizing a large amount of chakra. Over this time, Kisui also began working on the distance, and after weeks of distance training, was able to teleport to it by up to a mile away

Once that was done, Kisui felt it needed something else; Something that makes it one of a kind. Having some knowledge with other seals, he began multiple teleportation training, combined with seal overlays. By overlaying the formula with an elemental seal, Kisui figured he could do a lot of damage to those around the area of impact. By this point, Kisui added a new addition to the formula; a numerical index that numbers the seals to allow him to jump to each of them in numerical order. This would make things a bit more simpler for Kisui and to further the simplicity, he'd place different overlays on the seals to activate them in order. He started with a simple one; A Fire Release seal that dispersed fire within a 360 degree radius around the seal. By overlaying it onto the formula, Kisui jumped into the void. Forming the hand seal required to activate the seal, Kisui began concentrating to create the exit void. Upon exit, the technique almost worked, but the seals cancelled each other out, preventing the Fire Seal from activating properly. It activated, but the effects were drowned out by the formula.

The spirit recommended placing the seal very close to the formula where they almost touch. That way, the formula wouldn't cancel out the seal, or worse, vice versa. Placing the Fire Seal extremely close to the formula, just millimeters away from each other, Kisui attempted the technique again. When he entered the void, he formed the hand seal required to activate the Fire Seal and began concentrating on creating the exit void. Upon exiting, the plan worked out perfectly; The Fire Seal went off, dispersing flames within the radius. And since the formula and seal were so close to each other, Kisui was still within the safety zone of the seal's 360 degree radius.

A year had past and Kisui finally mastered formula and seal combination. Now, he figured it was time for something new; He wanted to see if he could use his Yin-Yang Release: Blueprint to create a barrier or structure upon exiting the void. Going through the usual, Kisui entered the void. While in the void, he imagined something simple; A small barrier that would surround him when he exited the void. Upon exiting, the barrier activated, but only after a few seconds of exiting the void. Kisui knew this wouldn't be enough. He wanted the barrier to activate the moment he left the void. The spirit had another idea; Imagine the barrier, and then create it the moment Kisui left the void. Kisui knew his would require some timing, but he knew the exit by heart. Imagining the barrier again, Kisui exited the void and the barrier activated sooner than the first time, but still two seconds too late for him. After resting up for the night, Kisui began training once again the next morning. Entering the void, Kisui imagined the barrier again, but this time began creating it just a little bit sooner of leaving the void than just after leaving it, figuring it would reduce the lag time. Upon exiting the void, the barrier activated around him almost a half second later. Kisui figured this was just long enough and began with other ideas.

Over the course of a few years, Kisui continued experimenting, creating all different types of barriers and structures large and small that he learned over time, all of them taking life the moment he left the void. Kisui felt like he had done enough, and that the only thing he could do now is just get better with time, hoping that maybe as he keeps training with it, he'll be able to do all sorts of incredible feats with the Flying Thunder God technique.

How will they make it unique?

One of Kisui's favorite things is to take a technique and make it his own. In the aspect of the Flying Thunder God technique, Kisui places several seals close to the formula, some of them overlapping with other seals, before a battle. By creating a numerical pattern with the formula, Kisui can use each one in numerical succession or in an entirely random succession, depending on whichever he needs to do. The overlapping seals can range from explosive seals to specially crafted trap seals, even elemental seals. Once in contact with the formula, the overlapping seals activate, sending out whatever the seal was created for in a three hundred sixty degree radius around Kisui. These seals can either inflict elemental damage, cause explosions, or even trap those unlucky enough to be within the seal's radius. Another of Kisui's favorite things to do with the technique is combine it with Yin-Yang Release: Blueprint to create a defensive or offensive structure around him for extra lethality against his opponents. Kisui can also utilize it for support purposes, using it to teleport his allies to safety by adding the formula on them before battle. Later on, when he gains his Rinnegan, he begins using it to provide more use out of his Paths, using the kunai tags as triggers for his energy.
