Why Is the Gap Between People So Big!

Taking advantage of the moment Ao was distracted by his rage, Aragaki Yasushi shifted his focus, and a streak of green light suddenly shot toward him.

However, Ao possessed the Byakugan and sensed the danger in advance; with a flash of movement, he dodged the green light in a sorry state, narrowly escaping disaster.

Aragaki Yasushi's face was full of disappointment as he curled his lip. "Damn! He actually dodged it?"

"This Byakugan is truly a nuisance!"

He narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at Ao's Byakugan, his tone arrogant as he threw out a threat: "Hey! You despicable Mist Ninja, is that Byakugan even yours? You dare to use it?"

"Next time we meet, I'll make sure to gouge both of your eyes out."

Ao's face darkened, and he retorted with his neck stiffened: "Come and take them if you have the ability! I'm just afraid you don't have what it takes!"

Aragaki Yasushi scoffed, too lazy to waste any more breath on him.

The mission was complete, 400 points were in the bag, and dragging this out any longer would be a pure waste of time.

If a more formidable character were to show up, the losses would outweigh the gains.

With a flap of the paper wings on his back, Aragaki Yasushi soared rapidly into the distance, leaving behind a group of Mist Ninja jumping in impotent rage, their curses echoing to the heavens.

Ao stood by the sea, his gaze locked on the direction Aragaki Yasushi had flown. Using his Byakugan to peer into the distance, he quickly spotted Yuhi Kurenai and Asuma waiting by the shore.

He gestured toward that direction to the few Mist Ninja beside him and said in a deep voice: "There are two more Konoha ninja over there. Go and hunt them down; don't let them return alive!"

Terumi Mei spoke up immediately: "I will go as well."

Ao shook his head and said helplessly: "No need. That Paper Style ninja can fly and is extremely fast; we likely won't be able to catch them."

After speaking, he looked toward the direction where Aragaki Yasushi had vanished and couldn't help but sigh: "Konoha truly has many geniuses!"

"Among the younger generation, there was Body Flicker Shisui before, and now this Paper Style ninja has emerged. I hear there is also the son of the White Fang, whose strength is also quite formidable."

"If we just let them grow, I fear a few more ruthless characters like the Yellow Flash will appear in the future. The village will be in trouble by then!"

On the other side, Aragaki Yasushi had only been flying for a short while when he spotted Yuhi Kurenai and Asuma in the distance. He immediately flapped his paper wings to dive, landing steadily on the paper boat.

In truth, Yuhi Kurenai and Asuma had long since noticed the commotion from Aragaki Yasushi's clash with the Mist Ninja.

However, the two of them knew that if they went up there, they would only become a burden and end up hindering him. Thus, they didn't dare get too close, merely preparing to flee at any moment while waiting to rendezvous with Aragaki Yasushi.

The moment Aragaki Yasushi's feet touched the paper boat, Asuma immediately formed hand seals.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

A gust of wild wind instantly blew against the sail, and the paper boat shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, racing toward the shore for fear that being a second late would lead to the Mist Ninja catching up.

Yuhi Kurenai stepped forward quickly, her face full of concern as she asked softly: "Yasushi, are you alright? Are you injured?"

During this time, besides practicing genjutsu, she had also learned some medical ninjutsu from Rin.

It was primarily to better support her teammates.

Yuhi Kurenai was very clear about her own positioning.

Aragaki Yasushi said indifferently: "Don't worry, what could happen to me?"

"The mission is done, let's get out of here!"

No sooner had he spoken than Aragaki Yasushi's expression suddenly tightened. He looked back toward the distance behind them and saw several figures sprinting wildly across the surface of the sea, chasing in their direction.

He felt a surge of anger: "There are actually Mist Ninja who dare to hunt me down?"

How bold!

Not only did they not run for their lives when facing him, but they actually dared to pursue?

They must be tired of living. Let's see how I give you all a brutal thrashing!

Aragaki Yasushi didn't waste words; with a thought, he activated the skill he had just drawn.

Thunderbolt!

Dazzling golden lightning instantly erupted from his body, spreading rapidly along the seawater with ridiculous speed.

"Ahhh!"

A series of shrill screams erupted from the sea surface. The pursuing Mist Ninja were struck by the lightning, their bodies convulsing as they collapsed into the seawater, dead or alive unknown, lacking even the strength to struggle.

Asuma, standing nearby, stared with wide eyes, his heart churning with turbulent waves.

Golden Lightning Style?!

As Aragaki Yasushi's teammate, he naturally knew that before developing Paper Style, Aragaki Yasushi was a Lightning Style ninja.

But this was his first time seeing this kind of golden lightning.

Asuma pondered to himself.

This must be the result of incorporating nature transformation into his chakra, right?

He probably has another type of elemental chakra as well.

As the son of the Third Hokage, Asuma naturally had a deep family background in ninjutsu, and he had already begun researching the nature transformation of wind-attribute chakra himself.

He was naturally aware that changes in chakra nature did not merely strengthen the original attribute; by incorporating chakra of other natures, one could unlock even more unique properties.

Take Water Style, for instance.

Water Style: Water Syrup Capture could make water thick and viscous, granting it powerful adhesive properties.

Water Style: Great Shark Bullet Technique allowed water to devour an enemy's chakra.

The Water Style of the Second Mizukage even possessed the properties of oil.

However, ninjutsu of this caliber were secret techniques hidden away by various ninja clans, inaccessible to the average person.

Taking it a step further, one would reach the level of Kekkei Genkai.

As for Lightning Style, standard lightning was typically blue or white.

Whenever it appeared in any other color, it almost certainly meant that a change in chakra nature had been applied, incorporating chakra of a different attribute.

For example, the Lightning Style: Black Panther developed by the Third Raikage was essentially an incomplete Storm Style ninjutsu, capable of spreading in all directions like a flowing stream.

The more Asuma thought about it, the more shocked he became.

Could it be that this kid had already reached such a level?

This was something even the Old Man hadn't managed to achieve.

The Old Man had researched changes in chakra nature across different attributes, yet he had only managed to develop a few composite ninjutsu.

To think that Yasushi could accomplish something even the Hokage couldn't!

Then again, he had even managed to conjure up a secret technique like Paper Style out of thin air.

It didn't seem all that strange for him to come up with something new in Lightning Style, the area he was most familiar with.

Moreover, Asuma knew that Aragaki Yasushi had been spending a lot of time with Kakashi lately, exchanging insights on ninjutsu development.

That guy Kakashi specialized in Lightning Style; perhaps Aragaki Yasushi had drawn inspiration from him to create this Golden Lightning Style!

The more Asuma dwelled on it, the more bitter he felt, secretly grumbling to himself: This talent is just too monstrous!

I'm still struggling with the basic nature transformation of Wind Style chakra.

Yet he's already moved on to incorporating other chakra attributes.

Why is the gap between people so massive!

But Aragaki Yasushi had no idea about the tangled web of thoughts in Asuma's mind.

If he knew that Asuma had elevated his Golden Lightning Style to such a lofty status, he would likely burst out laughing.

This so-called Golden Lightning Style was not some new ninjutsu created by fusing two chakra nature transformations.

Nor was it an attempt at a Kekkei Genkai.

It was purely a special effect inherent to a Pokemon move.

It wasn't nearly as sophisticated as Asuma imagined.

However, the fact that it required no chakra to trigger was indeed something ordinary ninjutsu could not compare to.
