Lightning Release: Kirin

Qingcheng then chatted with the members of the Lightning Armor Corps for a while, promoting the new Will of Fire once again.

All the members of the Lightning Armor Corps were like they'd drunk some kind of toxic chicken soup, their blood boiling with excitement. They all shouted with fervor, "Long live Konoha! Long live the Hokage!"

After Qingcheng waved his hand, everyone calmed down and continued their cultivation.

Just then, Qingcheng watched as the lightning in the sky began to slowly diminish. The Lightning Stone on the tower seemed to have lost its power, and the lightning throughout the training ground began to decrease.

Kakashi and the others also noticed this anomaly and immediately said to Qingcheng, "Hokage- sama! It must be because the weather has been sunny for a long time, and there haven't been any thunderclouds in the sky for quite some time. So, the electricity in these Lightning Stone has run out. Shouldn't we prepare Lightning Release Ninjutsu to recharge the Lightning Stone?"

Hayakumo Sōma and nodded, saying eagerly, "Hokage! How about I use Lightning Release Ninjutsu to recharge the Lightning Stone on the tower?"

Konoha is located on the plains of the Land of Fire, possessing fertile land and a comfortable temperature year-round. Furthermore, thunderstorms and strong winds are rare. Therefore, these Lightning Stone haven't stored electricity for some time.

Qingcheng thought for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "Using ordinary Lightning Release Ninjutsu to recharge is too slow. We must use natural lightning to replenish the Lightning Tower's power. This will make it last longer, and natural lightning will also enhance everyone's understanding of Lightning Release Ninjutsu."

Kakashi looked at the confident Hokage, then asked with a serious expression, "Hokage- sama, what kind of Ninjutsu can control the lightning in nature?"

Senju Taoyuan, Hayakumo Sōma, Shouhon Yihan, and Kumo-ma all looked at the Hokage with curiosity, and then asked one after another, "Among Lightning Release Ninjutsu, are there any Ninjutsu that can control the lightning in nature? We've never heard of them."

The members of the Lightning Armor Corps also looked on with curiosity, and then began to discuss, "We don't think we've ever heard of such Lightning Release Ninjutsu before. Does such Ninjutsu really exist in this world?"

Looking at the murmuring crowd, Qingcheng spoke directly, "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean such Ninjutsu doesn't exist. This Lightning Release Ninjutsu is something I developed after racking my brains all night."

Qingcheng looked at everyone, all with respectful expressions, and some of the team members were staring at him with curiosity. Even Kakashi was staring at him with dead fish eyes, looking surprised. Shouhon Yihan was even about to applaud.

Then Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "I call it Lightning Release: Kirin. It's S-rank Ninjutsu that I developed. Currently, its power is the strongest Lightning Release Ninjutsu."

Qingcheng then spoke to Kakashi, "Open your Mangekyō Sharingan and carefully observe my Hand Seals. Look closely at the sky; I'm going to release a Fire Release Ninjutsu to create a lightning cloud in the sky."

Upon hearing the Hokage's words, Kakashi immediately nodded and said with a serious expression, "I understand, Hokage- sama. I will diligently study this Ninjutsu. If you leave Konoha, I will use your method to replenish the Lightning Tower's power."

Having said that, Kakashi immediately activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, then, with his crimson Sharingan, stared directly at the Fifth Hokage, preparing to copy this Ninjutsu.

Seeing that Kakashi was ready, Qingcheng immediately formed hand Hand Seals and shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Great Flame Bullet!"

After saying that, Qingcheng opened his mouth and spat out eight enormous fire dragons into the sky. These fire dragons bared their fangs and claws, flew high into the air, and then began to burn in mid-air, exploding like bombs.

Everyone stared in astonishment as the Fifth Hokage unleashed Fire Release that was almost entirely crimson, massive in scale, and incredibly wide-ranging, far exceeding the capabilities of a typical A-rank Ninjutsu.

Kakashi looked at the sheer size of those fire dragons; they were astonishingly large, and their explosions high in the sky were like massive bombs.

Just then, Kakashi, using his Mangekyō Sharingan, keenly noticed that the explosion of flames high in the sky had created a large amount of lightning cumulus clouds.

Suddenly, Kakashi realized something, and then exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that the Hokage is going to control this huge thundercloud and form Lightning Release Ninjutsu? That's amazing! The destructive power of such Ninjutsu must be terrifying!"

Everyone looked shocked. Although they didn't have the Sharingan and didn't know what was happening above the clouds, the continuous booming sounds coming from above Cloud City made them realize that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

Just then, Qingcheng activated his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, observed the movement of the lightning clouds in the sky, raised his right hand, and shouted, "Lightning Release: Kirin!"

As lightning crackled and crackled from Qingcheng's right hand, the thunderclouds gathered in the sky, as if drawn by a force, formed a gigantic thunder dragon that emerged from the clouds and, accompanied by a terrifying roar, struck the top of the Lightning Tower.

In an instant, the enormous Lightning Tower was filled with blue lightning, and all the Lightning Stone emitted a crackling sound as they began to discharge electricity in all directions.

"Because even the Lightning Stone inside the Lightning Tower couldn't contain such a massive lightning dragon, the power of this Ninjutsu Lightning Release Ninjutsu is determined by the number of lightning clouds created in the sky."

Because Qingcheng's Fire Release -Fire Release was far superior to Uchiha Sasuke's, this enormous lightning dragon was much larger than the Uchiha Sasuke had released.

Immediately, the Lightning Tower unleashed a massive amount of lightning, the booming thunder engulfing the entire training ground. Everyone stared in shock at the sky, at the towering thunder tower that was emitting such an enormous amount of lightning.

Everyone activated the lightning armor immediately, and some of the team members who had not condensed the thunder armor immediately used earth escape to prepare to hide themselves to avoid being affected by the explosive thunder and lightning."

After watching the lightning dragons land on the tower, Qingcheng stopped using his right hand and then shouted, "Children, a huge Lightning Explosion is coming! Everyone get ready for cover, and make sure no more Jiao Kun appears!"

In an instant, the entire training ground was covered in lightning. Screeching sounds echoed from the ground. Those wearing Lightning Armor were stunned by the explosive lightning, while those without Lightning Armor immediately took cover.

After the lightning subsided, everyone slowly began to stand up. Shouhon Yihan, her face covered in soot, cried out again, "That kind of Lightning Release Ninjutsu is too dangerous! My body is numb from the electric shock. I need a curvy female medical ninja to comfort me, preferably 1.7 meters tall!"

Qingcheng looked at Kakashi and immediately used the Dog-Headed Earth Wall to protect himself. After the lightning dissipated...

Kakashi, still looking shaken, said, "I almost got electrocuted. I should have stayed away from the Lightning Tower."

After everyone watched the lightning dissipate, they resumed their cultivation and prepared to upgrade their Lightning Armor.

Seeing that the Lightning Tower was emitting electricity again, Qingcheng shouted, "Everyone, be careful! The second wave of lightning is coming!"

Everyone was shocked as they watched the massive bolt of lightning begin to flicker again. They exclaimed, "The Hokage's Lightning Release Ninjutsu is practically electrocuting people!"

The training ground erupted into chaos once more, with some team members letting out screams of pain, "Ahhh! I'm going to be electrocuted!"
