Kill!

The moment Yei finished speaking, lightning flashed at his fingertips. A swift beam of lightning tore through the air, aimed straight at Nakagawa's brow!

"Lightning Release?" Seeing the lightning beam flick from Yei's fingers, Nakagawa looked surprised before his expression turned disdainful. "Take us out? With Lightning Release at that level? What a joke, kid!"

Nakagawa sneered disdainfully as a kunai appeared in his hand. Lightning Release Chakra coated it, arcs of electricity crackling across the blade as he slashed directly at the incoming lightning beam!

In this world, Lightning Release was certainly fast, but it was not as fast as light itself. People with powerful perception still had time to react; otherwise, Kakashi could never have used Chidori to sever lightning falling from the sky...

However, the instant Nakagawa's kunai collided with the lightning beam, his expression suddenly changed.

A powerful current traveled through the kunai and into his body, numbing him and making his limbs disobey him. The kunai in his hand nearly flew from his grasp.

Then, as if it had struck something solid, the lightning contained within the beam suddenly turned violent—

With a BOOM, it exploded!

The shockwave, carrying violent lightning power, blasted Nakagawa away. He sprayed blood as he flew dozens of meters, smashing through trees along the way before barely managing to stop!

"What?"

The surrounding Chunin were all stunned. Nakagawa, a Jonin, had actually been blasted away by a Chunin's ninjutsu?

What kind of Lightning Release was that? Why had none of them, ninjas proficient in Lightning Release, ever seen it before?

Had he developed that ninjutsu himself?

"Damn it, I underestimated you, kid!" Nakagawa climbed out of the crater, his entire body charred black. Wiping the blood from his mouth, he glared at Yei with a grim expression and vicious eyes. "Kill him!"

That bastard had humiliated him in front of his subordinates. He had to die.

Moreover, that Lightning Release had clearly not looked all that powerful, yet the moment it struck something, it exploded and unleashed such a terrifying impact. Even Nakagawa, who excelled at Lightning Release, could not see through it...

Could it be a Kekkei Genkai?

No, that guy was from the Hyuga Clan. Their Kekkei Genkai was the Byakugan; he could not possess another Kekkei Genkai!

But regardless, someone with that kind of potential had to be eliminated!

At Nakagawa's command, the Chunin who had been watching from the sidelines charged Yei, throwing shuriken and unleashing ninjutsu!

Meanwhile, the other Jonin, Mitsu Chika, narrowed his eyes and concealed himself, waiting for an opportunity!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Nakagawa formed hand seals and spat out a fireball. It swelled against the wind, becoming several meters wide as it crashed toward Yei!

"Rotation!" Yei's Byakugan took in the location of every attack. Seeing that they had covered all his escape routes, he swiftly moved.

Chakra burst from the acupoints all over his body, and he spun like a top. The high-speed spinning Chakra formed a circular shield that deflected every attack back!

"Soru!" As his spinning body came to a stop, Yei stomped the ground more than a dozen times in an instant, vanishing from his original position as though he had teleported.

Yei locked onto one of the Chunin. Chakra gathered in his palm, and he thrust it forward. "Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"

The compressed Chakra erupted from his palm as a shockwave, striking a Chunin to the left and blasting him away!

Yei did not stop moving. He darted before another man like a ghost, his kunai transforming into the reaper's deadly scythe as it sliced open the man's throat. Blood spurted into the sky!

"Lightning Release: White Lightning!" Another beam of lightning shot out and pierced through someone's head!

"So you've been hiding your strength all along? I underestimated you!" Seeing Yei slaughter his way through them, Nakagawa snorted coldly. He flashed forward to block Yei's path, formed hand seals, and pressed his hands to the ground. "Lightning Release: Lightning Ring!"

Centered on him, a ring of lightning seemed to lock onto Yei and swept toward him along the ground.

Nakagawa's every movement had remained within Yei's field of vision and perception. Naturally, Yei would not allow the attack to hit him.

He rapidly stomped the ground and leaped into the air, evading the attack.

"Kid, where are you looking?" At that moment, however, a teasing voice came from the side.

Mitsu Chika had been waiting for a chance to strike. Now that Yei had leaped into the air and lost any foothold, he was like a hidden venomous snake that had found its opening. With a tap of his foot, Mitsu Chika caught up to Yei, a savage expression on his face as he swung his kunai toward Yei's heart in midair.

High in the air, with nowhere to gain leverage, Mitsu Chika believed this blow would end the life of this Hyuga brat once and for all!

Facing Mitsu Chika's sneak attack, Yei remained unhurried. Instead, he gave a cold smile. "A sneak attack is useless before my Byakugan. I've been watching out for you!"

The movements of everyone present had been locked onto by his Byakugan. None of them could escape his perception!

The next instant, lightning crackled across Yei's body. The electricity stimulated his flesh, strengthening his physique at that moment!

The Lightning Release Stimulation Method, as its name suggested, used the power of lightning to stimulate the body's cells, allowing him to unleash strength beyond his limits for a short time!

"Moon Step!" Yei suddenly exerted force with both legs, kicking off the air with a BANG. White smoke flashed as he used the recoil to evade Mitsu Chika's attack. Then he twisted around in midair, facing Mitsu Chika's savage expression with calm, unruffled eyes as his hands rapidly formed seals. "Chidori!"

As Yei completed the hand seals, a shrill sound like a thousand birds chirping suddenly rang through the area. Lightning raged around Yei's right hand, scattering electric arcs in every direction and casting his face in a cold, merciless light!

He kicked off the air again with a BANG, his body suddenly accelerating. His lightning-wreathed right hand thrust out, piercing straight through Mitsu Chika's heart amid the man's stunned expression!

"Ugh... ugh... Th-this is..." Mitsu Chika stared at the lightning-ravaged right hand piercing his chest. Seeming to realize something, his pupils violently constricted. But before another thought could form, his eyes rapidly dimmed, and he lost all signs of life...

Mitsu Chika had never expected that his sneak attack would cost him his life!

Yei pulled out his blood-soaked right hand without even looking at Mitsu Chika's falling corpse. Feeling a faint stabbing pain from within, he narrowed his eyes. Looks like I can't keep this up for long... This body... I need to end this quickly...

"Now it's your turn!" Having made up his mind, Yei tapped his foot and vanished from his original position again, even faster than before!

When he reappeared, he was already behind another man. He pointed a finger, and a beam of lightning pierced through the man's head.

He moved like a ghost, every strike killing with a single blow!

By now, everyone present looked at Yei with fear in their eyes!

What was wrong with this guy?

Why was he so strong?

"Chidori? Are you Kakashi Hatake? No, you're from the Hyuga Clan. Damn it, what is going on? How could Konoha have such a powerful Hyuga branch family member?" Seeing even the strongest, Mitsu Chika, killed so easily by Yei, panic finally flashed across Nakagawa's face. "Quick, attack together and kill him!"

Moreover, he had recognized the ninjutsu Yei had used!

Chidori was an A-rank ninjutsu created by Konoha's genius, Kakashi Hatake!

It was also Kakashi's signature technique. After obtaining a Sharingan, Kakashi had used this move to strike terror into the hearts of all his enemies!

Whenever that sound like a thousand birds chirping was heard, it meant death was not far away...

The others were already terrified by Yei's ferocity. Chidori's reputation was no small thing in the Shinobi World. Hearing their captain's order, they hurriedly unleashed all kinds of ninjutsu at Yei.

But Yei easily evaded them. His speed was now extremely fast, and with the Byakugan's insight, he slipped through the gaps between their attacks. After striking several more times, he killed every remaining enemy, leaving only Nakagawa.

Yei walked toward him and said indifferently, "You all possess Lightning Release. Are you from Kumogakure? Forget it. No matter who you are, you must die here. Anyone who has seen my true strength must die!"

"You... who exactly are you? What is that Lightning Release ninjutsu on your body?" Nakagawa's face filled with terror. As Yei approached, he retreated again and again.

"Your Third Raikage 'taught' it to me. Though it's a little different... Still, I should thank him!" Yei chuckled, recalling that battle from long ago.

In the original Naruto story, the Third Raikage had died from exhaustion fighting ten thousand Iwagakure Ninja.

But this world differed from the original story. Because the situation had changed and war had erupted elsewhere, Iwagakure had sent away part of its forces. Thus, only several thousand Iwagakure Ninja had surrounded the Third Raikage!

And by sheer coincidence, Yei had entered that battle...

The two of them slaughtered those several thousand Iwagakure Ninja. Afterward, they continued fighting without rest, until Yei, in a sudden burst of strength, finally killed the Third Raikage!

The injuries Yei carried had also been left behind at that time...

"The Third Raikage? How is that possible... No wonder the Fourth Hokage said there was something suspicious about the Third Hokage's death... So you were the one who did it!" Nakagawa had nowhere left to retreat. His back pressed tightly against a tree, and the terror on his face grew even more obvious!

"But you won't kill me that easily! Lightning Release: Earth Walk!" Nakagawa suddenly erupted in desperation. He formed hand seals and pressed his hands to the ground. Electric currents crackled across the earth toward Yei, igniting the Exploding Tags he had planted underground!

BOOM!

Dozens of Exploding Tags detonated at once with tremendous force. The ground blew apart, flames flaring up as waves of hot wind and impact made the surrounding trees tremble violently. Broken stones shot in every direction!

Black smoke rose into the sky, covering that entire area!

"Did it work?" Seeing this, joy appeared on Nakagawa's face. An explosion of that magnitude would kill the brat even if he used Rotation!

"You're overthinking it. I told you, within my Byakugan's vision, none of your movements can escape me!" Yei's icy voice came from beside his ear, making Nakagawa's pupils suddenly contract.

Just as he tried to flee, Nakagawa felt a sharp pain in his chest. An arm wreathed in violent lightning burst through his chest!

He lowered his head to look at the arm piercing his chest. He wanted to speak, but found that he could no longer open his mouth. After only a few strangled sounds, his vision went dark, and he completely lost his breath...

Yei pulled out his blood-covered right hand without even glancing at the corpse collapsing to the ground. The lightning around his body dissipated as he supported himself against a nearby tree, his chest heaving while he gasped for breath.

He closed his eyes slightly and sensed the condition of his body. The corner of his mouth twitched. "This is even worse... The side effects of the Hollow Mask are really absurd..."

At that moment, a crisp sound suddenly rang out in his mind—

Ding, killed two Jonin and twelve Chunin. Received 450 points.

450. Not a bad haul. I've gathered 1,000 now. I wonder what I'll get this time. Last time, it was the Hollow Mask, and it let me kill the Third Raikage... But that thing seems like it can only be used once? What a scam... Yei was not at all surprised by the voice in his mind.

He had already gotten used to it...

As a transmigrator, Yei had naturally arrived with a Cheat Ability.

When he killed his first enemy on the battlefield, his Cheat Ability had appeared with a ding.
