Many would assume that because Naruto inherited most of his abilities from his father, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, he would have inherited the Flying Thunder God Technique, also known as Flying Raijin. But let me tell you that Naruto could not use the Flying Raijin technique as he never acquired it.
Exploring Naruto’s Jutsu Arsenal
In the Naruto series, Naruto is very well known for how he canearn and master different types of Jutsu.
However, along his journey, he did not master the Flying Raijin technique, which allowed the user to teleport to the previously marked location. It was strange as Minato, the father of Naruto and the fourth Hokage, used this technique proficiently.
Why Naruto Does Not Learn Flying Raijin
Specialization and Training Focus
Now to Enhance his power, Naruto learnt numerous techniques from his mentors. Some of these techniques include shadow clone jutsu where he could create multiple shadows.
By using The chakra reserves that he gained from the nine-tailed fox, he could harness his unique strengths. Besides this, the sage mode allowed Naruto to enhance his strength from the nature around him.
And then he got to acquire six paths sage mode that allowed him to fly. However, Naruto never acquired the flying regime technique because this technique required precise chakra control and special seals, which Naruto could not do.
Minato’s Legacy and Jutsu Choices
Minato was Naruto’s father and the fourth Hokage. Minato possessed many great skills out of which flying raijin was the one.
Naruto inherited a lot of abilities and skills from his father, but he could not acquire flying Raijin because it required a strategic approach and preparation that was quite different from Naruto’s style of fighting.
Now, talking about Minato, he was exceptionally good when using the flying Raijin as it relied on a particular genius of which Minato was powerful.
And that’s why it actually made it difficult to pass down effectively as it required the same foundational skills and focus that Minato possessed.
Impact of Not Having Flying Raijin
Despite not having the flying Raijin, he did have other means of fighting which impacted his character development when trying to grow.
Strategic Implications
Not possessing Flying Raijin didn’t mean that Naruto was a weak ninja; rather, he had other capabilities that made him shine as a great ninja. His chakra reserve from the nine-tailed beast and the combination of sage mode allows him to easily defeat the greatest ninja threats.
Besides this, his power of creating multiple clones and using different Rasengan techniques gives him the biggest advantage of easily fighting against the most powerful opponents. And so, with so many abilities, Naruto never felt the void of acquiring flying Raijin.
Narrative and Character Development
Naruto shows us that, along with his personal growth, he had to adapt to the fact that he couldn’t use all the techniques his father used.
One such technique was the flying Raijin. So, rather than following in his father’s footsteps, he created unique techniques that helped him in his personal growth.
Hence, this gave him the ability to grow along his journey. With this, Naruto demonstrates that personal growth often involves finding one’s path and identifying the unique abilities that lie within us.
Conclusion
So, all in all, Naruto’s story shows us how he can use them to protect and connect with others to make a peaceful and understanding world. That’s why he could learn the different jutsus that helped him develop as a character.
It didn’t portray a certain theme in the narrative series because if the main storyline was about him adopting his father’s powers, The flying Raijin would have been one of the techniques he would have inherited. Still, the narrators were trying to depict Naruto as someone who goes on his own path to create something unique.
