Two New Ninjutsu

"Damn! What a rare genius!"

Chiye Jun could not help laughing when he saw Naruto's masterpiece.

Naruto had put what he learned to immediate use, even using the English words Chiye Jun had taught him.

The First Hokage's face was covered in circles, with an "F" on his forehead;

The Second Hokage had tears and snot running down his face, with a "U" on his forehead;

The Third Hokage was the most outrageous—his eyes had turned into peach blossoms, drool streamed from his mouth, and he looked like a total pervert, with a "C" on his forehead;

The Fourth Hokage was the most alluring of all, his mouth turned into a tiny cherry mouth, with a "K" on his forehead.

Chiye Jun did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"If Minato saw his son messing with him like this, he'd definitely rise from the grave in anger..."

After racing onto the streets of Konoha Village, the group of ninja finally stopped.

After the two parted ways, Chiye Jun brought up the system and completed his check-in.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the check-in task. Reward: Mystical Palm Technique.]

Pfft~~~

Mystical Palm Technique...

It was an entry-level medical ninjutsu that could treat ordinary injuries and had a clear effect on stopping bleeding.

It was an extremely common ninjutsu.

Still, better than nothing. It might come in handy someday.

But what Chiye Jun really wanted were powerful ninjutsu like the Strength of a Hundred Technique and Creation Rebirth.

"I risked getting kicked out of school for this task... and all I get is the Mystical Palm Technique...?"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the check-in task. Reward: Raikiri Technique.]

Raikiri Technique!

An S-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu developed by Kakashi, an upgraded version of Chidori.

It did not require a charge. It could erupt from a standstill, expanding its killing range.

It could unleash chakra damage at extremely close range while also inflicting physical damage!

Now, in addition to the "fire spell" Fireball Jutsu, he had gained an "electric spell"—Raikiri.

At that moment, a boy was glaring fiercely at him...

Hinata had a gentle, timid personality and was the adorable little-girl type.

Besides Chiye Jun, quite a few people in Konoha Village liked her.

One of them was a genin named Abe Iisugi, a classmate of Rock Lee.

He was utterly infatuated with Hinata.

By chance, he saw Chiye Jun kiss Hinata, and rage instantly burned in his chest.

After Chiye Jun's fight with Sasuke, he had become well-known at the Ninja Academy.

But the upperclassmen dismissed him with disdain.

Abe Iisugi was one of them.

"Isn't it just a somewhat stronger Fireball Jutsu?"

"Isn't he just a little faster?"

"What's so impressive about that?"

"You little brat, today I'll let you experience what it feels like to get beaten until you piss yourself by a genin!"

How arrogant!

Chiye Jun gave a cold smile. Perfect—he could test out Raikiri!

So, they headed into the forest for a duel.

The challenge ended almost instantly.

Chiye Jun clapped his hands together. 0.5 seconds.

"Lightning Release: Raikiri!"

All that could be heard was the "bzzz..." of electrical current, like static from a radio searching for a signal.

Pale blue air currents rose beneath Chiye Jun's feet, forming a blue ring.

Strands of lightning danced in his palm.

"Crackle, crackle!"

The blue lightning arcs grew increasingly violent, like the cries of thousands upon thousands of birds.

Electric light burst in every direction, dazzling and thunderous!

Chiye Jun swung his arm, and lightning exploded!

Before Abe Iisugi could even finish forming his hand seals, bolts of lightning crashed into him, instantly frying him black and leaving foam spilling from his mouth.

Fortunately, Chiye Jun had precisely controlled his chakra output.

Otherwise, that guy would have croaked on the spot!

[Raikiri Technique proficiency +1]

Chiye Jun's heart brimmed with joy.

Unlimited mana buff plus instant-cast ninjutsu!

This was practically the prelude to invincibility...

The Third Hokage, who witnessed this through his crystal ball, was overwhelmed by turbulent emotions.

"He even knows Raikiri. Could Kakashi have taught it to him? Impossible, that's an S-rank ninjutsu... This child holds far too many unknown possibilities!"

But he soon smiled again.

"The Abe Clan isn't any good either. It's fine to teach them a lesson... Ahem."

Afterward, he summoned Chiye Jun and asked how he had learned an S-rank ninjutsu.

Chiye Jun could only shake his head like an idiot. "I don't know either. It seems that after one stormy night filled with lightning and thunder, I awakened it on my own..."

From then on, whenever there was lightning and thunder, the Third Hokage would always ask him what ninjutsu he had awakened this time...

That day after school, Chiye Jun returned home and increased Raikiri's proficiency in his private space.

A holographic panel popped up:

[Host: Chiye Jun]

[Mastered Genjutsu: None]

[Chakra Amount: ∞]

Meanwhile, after receiving the latest intelligence, Danzo fell into deep thought.

The loss of ten Root members last time had shocked him and filled him with bone-deep hatred for Chiye Jun.

Later, he had tried to find another opportunity to assassinate him, only to discover that Kakashi would always suddenly appear!

"If this ticking time bomb isn't removed, Konoha Village will never know peace, and my position as Hokage..."

Raikiri Technique was easy to level up. He only had to unleash it repeatedly with plenty of crackling and flashing.

But increasing the Mystical Palm Technique's proficiency was somewhat difficult.

Going to the Konoha clinic to help treat people was out of the question.

The next day, he found time to buy several crates of frozen fish at the market.

Chiye Jun knew that once a human was frozen, revival was impossible, but fish were built entirely differently from humans.

Some fish, though frozen, would slowly come back to life when placed in warm water.

So, these fish were not truly dead in the strictest sense.

He rolled up his sleeves and placed a frozen fish on the dining table.

"Mystical Palm Technique!"

After forming the hand seals, a faint green glow rose.

Chiye Jun pressed his hand against the fish and controlled his chakra output.

Precise chakra control was also important. Too much would instead kill the fish.

The frozen fish did not react at all.

Chiye Jun frowned tightly.

"Could it be that the cells weren't activated... Did it fail?"

Just as he was puzzling over it, the fish beneath his hand suddenly slipped free and began flopping across the table!

"Haha, success!"

[Mystical Palm Technique cast. Proficiency +1]

After that, Chiye Jun took out the frozen fish one by one.

Under his hands, the stiff, frozen fish gradually became vibrant living creatures.

Seeing this, Chiye Jun finally revealed a satisfied smile.

However, there were only a few dozen frozen fish, and the Mystical Palm Technique was still at the beginner level.

He then ran into the forest to search for injured birds and beasts.

It took several full days before he raised the Mystical Palm Technique to the intermediate level.

That night.

Lying in bed, Chiye Jun's mind began to wander wildly.

"If Hinata and I get together in the future, what will Naruto do? After all, in the original story, Hinata is his wife..."

But he quickly came to terms with it!

Because he thought of the most perfect and happiest pairing arrangement.

Sasuke and Naruto!

After all, when Sasuke defected and left Konoha, Naruto chased after him for three whole years!

Even after getting married, having children, and becoming Hokage, he still could not let Sasuke go!

Just think about it!

How many people could love someone that deeply?

That was why they were true love!

With things arranged this way, he would not feel too guilty either...

Just as he was grinning wickedly, the system appeared and issued a new check-in task.

(Let's clear this up. There are always readers who only know half the story and keep shouting that Raikiri requires the Sharingan to use... That's Chidori! Chidori must be used while charging forward to unleash its power, but its flaw is that the speed is too fast to clearly see the enemy's movements. Minato judged it to be an incomplete technique, and only the Sharingan's insight could compensate for that weakness. The improved Raikiri does not require charging at all and can be released from a standstill. AB's official The Book of Confrontation clearly explains this... In episode 17 at 23 minutes, Kakashi strikes Zabuza with Raikiri from a standstill without activating his Sharingan!)
