Incarnating as a Ninjutsu Turret, Starting with Storm Release

A night of deep sleep.

Kazama Kaguya had never slept so comfortably before.

Back in Kirigakure, he was afraid of being assassinated in his sleep, often suffering from insomnia all night long, and even startled by the slightest rustle of leaves at night.

At that time, he spent more time meditating to recover his energy and slept very lightly.

But last night was different.

Kisame Hoshigaki's devilish training methods had exhausted all his energy.

The excessive fatigue plunged him into a deep sleep, and even his long-established biological clock automatically shut down.

He didn't know how long he slept, only that he started dreaming without realizing it.

He dreamed he soared into the sky, floating above the celestial river, resting his head on the stars, drifting with the current, utterly at ease.

But he felt his body sinking uncontrollably, the icy water of the celestial river submerging his nose and mouth, a sense of suffocation washing over him.

He instinctively activated the Otsutsuki's adaptive underwater breathing ability, and fresh oxygen flooded his nasal cavity again.

He continued to immerse himself in the dream of sleeping on the starry river, unwilling to wake up.

Outside, Kisame Hoshigaki's Water Clone froze.

"???"

He looked at Kazama Kaguya, who was still snoring in the Water Prison Technique, with a face full of question marks, and stammered, "No way? You can still sleep in a Water Prison Technique? And snore? You look more like a fish than I do!"

He listened to Kazama Kaguya's snoring, his face growing darker.

"Damn brat, if you don't wake up for this, I'll see if you wake up when a shark bites your ass."

"Summoning Jutsu: One-Tailed Shark."

He formed hand seals and summoned.

A shark, about an arm's length long, was summoned. It wagged its tail and burrowed into the water prison, biting Kazama Kaguya's butt.

"Ah..."

A sharp pain struck him, and Kazama Kaguya's eyes snapped open as he jumped up, screaming.

He swatted the shark away, his voice filled with morning grumpiness as he cursed, "What the hell, who's so f*cked up to let a fish bite someone."

Then, he saw Kisame Hoshigaki's displeased face outside the water sphere.

His heart sank, and he swallowed hard. "Uh, Teacher Kisame, I'm sorry, I was too tired yesterday and overslept."

Kisame said unhappily, "Brat, you slept quite comfortably, but you're late. I suspect the main body has already prepared a punishment for you. I wish you a happy day today."

After he finished speaking, he grinned, formed hand seals, and dispelled the clone.

Kazama Kaguya watched the pool of water fall, his heart pounding uncontrollably. "This is bad!"

He didn't have time to wash up and immediately took to the air, flying towards the waterfall.

As expected, just as his Water Clone had guessed, he heard Kisame Hoshigaki's cold voice the moment he landed.

"Kazama Kaguya, slacking off on the second day? If you can't be punctual, then just hang your brain up and let it count the time itself."

He looked at Kazama Kaguya, exuding an aura that warned others to stay away, and said coldly:

"Given that you were late right at the start of training, from now on, your weighted training will be increased by an additional 50kg. I believe a weight of 250kg will help you understand yourself better."

Kazama Kaguya didn't dare to retort, fearing more sarcastic remarks.

These intense training sessions, while seeming devilish, were actually quite inhumane.

However, with the physical condition of the Otsutsuki and the sustained power of Chakra, Kazama Kaguya could barely cope.

But what truly made Kazama Kaguya uncomfortable was Kisame Hoshigaki's sharp and sarcastic mockery.

He hadn't realized before that this cool, tough guy also had a venomous tongue.

"Did I force it out of him?"

"Sigh, doing my best? I requested this myself, what a disaster..."

He sighed, picked up the two bluestone slabs weighing a total of 250kg, and began his strenuous workout.

The sun rose and set, and a happy day passed.

Then came the third day, and it was the same.

It wasn't until the fourth day that Kazama Kaguya finally saw a change.

The Evolution Obelisk on his chest trembled, and then a line of information refreshed on his retina.

[Congratulations, Evolver. Kekkei Genkai: Storm Release, Evolution Successful.]

"Storm Release has evolved?" Kazama Kaguya was stunned and quickly opened the information.

On the interface, three Kekkei Genkai were listed side by side.

[Kekkei Genkai: Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan, Storm Release.]

At the same time, he felt the Water and Lightning Chakra natures, which were innate within him, begin to fuse, transforming into a blue-silver energy.

The fused chakra of Storm Release Kekkei Genkai combines the advantages of both.

It's not as violent and difficult to control as Lightning, nor as weak and lacking in attack power as Water.

"Storm Release, a guided laser. Electrified water? Soft lightning? A Ninjutsu-based Kekkei Genkai, this is perfect."

Kazama Kaguya's face lit up with joy, and he immediately began demonstrating the abilities of Storm Release.

It was past midnight, and after the third day, Kisame Hoshigaki would no longer send clones to look after him.

He crawled out of the tent. Without forming any hand seals, he simply raised his right hand.

As he willed the Storm Release chakra, a dazzling light began to appear on his right hand.

The light was blue-silver, very bright, and somewhat dazzling.

But it didn't have the explosive flashes of lightning; it was bright yet very stable, like a high-wattage light bulb.

Kazama Kaguya didn't know any specific Storm Release techniques, so he just used the simplest form of Ninjutsu projection.

With a thought, the light shot out like a laser cannon, heading straight for the distant high mountains.

Just as it was about to hit the target, the laser cannon, under Kazama Kaguya's mental command, turned around and flew back into his hand.

The entire operation was incredibly smooth.

"Storm Release's laser is this easy to control?"

The surprise came too suddenly, making it hard for him to believe.

However, the drawback was also obvious: double the consumption.

Storm Release chakra requires the fusion of Water and Lightning attribute chakra, so using it consumes twice the amount of chakra.

This consumption was negligible for Kazama Kaguya's 30 units of chakra, but for a regular ninja, it was truly a gas guzzler.

Kakashi Hatake, a standard Jonin, had a standard chakra measurement unit.

If he were to use Storm Release, let alone its attack power, his endurance would be halved immediately.

This was extremely fatal for a Jonin.

"No wonder the Kumogakure Storm Release ninja, Darui, only knew one move, 'Storm Release: Lazer Circus,' it wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but that he couldn't afford to."

While Kazama Kaguya lamented the limitations of ordinary ninjas, his heart grew increasingly joyful.

"With my 30 units of chakra, I'm not afraid of the consumption. Storm Release is so powerful, and if Darui can't use it, I can!"

Kazama Kaguya's lips curved upwards, and many brilliant ideas for using Storm Release began to form in his mind.

A guided laser, incredibly fast, with unquestionable attack power, and the ability to change direction at will, meant a 100% hit rate.

Unless it was Gaara's 360-degree passive defense, almost any other defensive measure could be ignored.

If he added the Byakugan's targeting, even Orochimaru's strongest defensive Ninjutsu, the Threefold Rashomon, placed in front of it, would be useless.

"Byakugan + Storm Release, want to dodge? Not a chance!"

"Once I develop a few techniques, I'll be a walking Ninjutsu cannon! A guided one, haha..."

Kazama Kaguya was extremely excited and planned to ask Kisame Hoshigaki about developing Ninjutsu during their training session today.

He would openly demonstrate Storm Release and had no intention of hiding it.

He would acquire more and more Kekkei Genkai in the future, and Storm Release was just an appetizer; it would be good for Kisame to get used to the rhythm.
