The strange purple lightning flashed with dazzling arcs, refracting brilliant colors through the curtain of rain like neon lights and bathing the entire battlefield in a dreamlike glow.
Amid the dazzling Purple Electricity, Hyuga Kagami, standing motionless beneath the rain, seemed almost unreal himself.
"Purple lightning..."
Staring at Hyuga Kagami, Darui's mouth fell slightly open, his eyes filled with astonishment.
As a Lightning Release ninja, he understood better than anyone how difficult it was to achieve a nature transformation with a single chakra attribute. Even the Fourth Raikage was incapable of it.
Even with his Storm Release Kekkei Genkai, Darui had only managed to cultivate Black Lightning with great difficulty after obtaining the manuscripts left behind by the Third Raikage and enduring countless failures.
