Summary

Qin Yu begins learning the A-rank Lightning Style technique Falling Thunder, despite skepticism from Inubou and Uzuki Cangwu. Uzuki notes that even experienced ninjas require more than a month to master it, while Qin Yu has only three days. However, Qin Yu relies on his Mangekyo Sharingan and One-Click Max Level System, which instantly grants him the fundamentals and maximum proficiency in the technique.
He successfully unleashes Falling Thunder, summoning nine enormous lightning bolts that destroy a nearby rock and create a crater over ten meters wide. The technique is far more powerful than its scroll description suggests, confirming that the system has dramatically enhanced its strength. System notifications then reveal that Qin Yu has also maxed out his Lightning chakra nature and his ability to sense natural lightning energy.
Recognizing the danger posed by more than one hundred approaching Cloud Ninja—including the powerful A-B combination—Qin Yu considers the S-rank Lightning Style: Kirin. Because Kirin draws on natural lightning rather than relying entirely on the user’s chakra, he sees it as a potential battle-ending weapon that could prevent him from being worn down in a prolonged fight. Over the following three days, he successfully masters Kirin through the system and establishes a connection with thunderclouds, though the effort reinforces his awareness of the Uchiha clan’s limited chakra reserves. Qin concludes that he will eventually need to acquire a Sage Body to overcome this weakness.
When Qin Yu returns, the twenty-seven Konoha ninja defending the pass are prepared for a desperate battle. They understand that retreat would expose the Land of Fire—and their families—to the Cloud Ninja. Inubou worries that Qin Yu may have failed to master the A-rank technique, but mentions the terrifying thunderclouds that recently appeared, unaware that Qin Yu created them while testing Kirin. Uzuki attempts to prevent further discussion and reassures Qin Yu that he should flee with Shizune if necessary.
Although the defenders remain grim and expect overwhelming odds, their attitude toward Qin Yu has changed. After witnessing his powerful genjutsu earlier, they now trust him despite his youth and former obscurity. Qin Yu’s mastery of Kirin gives him a concealed trump card that may allow the outnumbered Konoha forces to reverse the coming battle.
