Question: On a rainy day, which type of Release could unleash the greatest power?
Answer: Storm Release!
Whether it was Water Release or Lightning Release, their power could indeed be enhanced in rainy weather.
However, Storm Release—a Kekkei Genkai that fused Water and Lightning Chakra—received an even greater boost in the rain than either Water Release or Lightning Release.
After all, it was a double enhancement!
After Hiruko finished forming his hand seals, a pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky and slammed viciously into Kakuzu's head.
"Urgh!"
Caught completely off guard by the heavy blow, Kakuzu let out a miserable scream.
Storm Release was simply too fast.
After all, it carried the nature of lightning as well!
Kakuzu, who had only just climbed back to his feet, was knocked flat onto the ground once more.
"Crack."
"Boom!"
Not only that, but the stone bridge beneath him could no longer bear the force of the Storm Release attack and was blasted open with a massive hole.
"Splash!"
Kakuzu then fell straight into the river beneath the bridge.
Still, that was actually a good thing for Kakuzu.
Otherwise, he would have had to continue enduring the damage from Storm Release.
Storm Release's power was not to be underestimated.
Especially Storm Release enhanced by rainy weather—its power was even more terrifying.
No wonder Hiruko's single attack had punched through the stone bridge and sent Kakuzu crashing into the river.
"A fourth Kekkei Genkai? Just who is this Hiruko? Why did all the intelligence we gathered on him describe him as nothing more than an ordinary Konoha jonin?
With the strength Hiruko has displayed now, he has even surpassed Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade from the same generation!
Was Konoha's Third Hokage blind?
How could he force such a talent to defect from
