White Lightning of the Way of Destruction No. 4

White Lightning was a Kidō technique from Bleach, one of the basic offensive spells of the Way of Destruction.

In the world of Bleach, Kidō was a series of spells formed through the manipulation of spiritual particles.

The Way of Destruction was specifically used for attack and destruction.

Within the Soul Reaper army, the Gotei 13, the Way of Destruction was one of the mandatory courses for Soul Reapers.

Every Soul Reaper had to master a certain number of destructive spells before they could qualify for higher positions.

As Way of Destruction No. 4, White Lightning was one of the most basic destructive spells.

Though it was only one of the most basic spells, the power of White Lightning was not to be underestimated.

A dazzling bolt of white lightning, accompanied by thunder and condensed from a Soul Reaper's spiritual pressure, was enough to pierce ordinary Hollows and even shatter solid objects.

Skilled Soul Reapers could even fire several bolts of White Lightning at once, attacking multiple targets simultaneously.

It could be said that White Lightning was an essential signature technique for every Soul Reaper.

In battle, White Lightning could serve not only as a long-range attack, but also be combined with techniques such as Flash Step to create unexpected tactics.

Learning White Lightning was undoubtedly a major step forward in strength.

Su Bai hurriedly checked the system panel:

[Current Fusion Rate]: 4% (2000/500000)

Su Bai could not help clenching his fists, eager to stretch his limbs and experience this newly acquired ability.

Although Su Bai was itching to begin training immediately and test his new skill, there were more pressing matters to deal with first.

During his clash with the Hidden Mist ninja, Su Bai had ultimately won, but he had not escaped entirely unscathed.

For the sake of growth, such a price was unavoidable.

In the fierce battle, there had been no way to evade the enemy's incoming shuriken, so Su Bai could only block it with his left hand.

At that moment, the back of his left hand had already turned bluish-purple.

Su Bai keenly noticed that the enemy's weapon had been coated with poison.

He took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and, without hesitation, cut open the wound, allowing blood to gush out and carry the toxins from his body.

Then he drew Ryujin Jakka from his waist and pressed the scorching blade against the wound.

After a brief burn, the bleeding had stopped, and the wound had received preliminary treatment.

The entire sequence of movements flowed smoothly, completed in one breath.

"Sakura, could you help me bandage this?"

Su Bai turned to Sakura with his request.

Only then did Sakura come back to her senses. She hurriedly took out bandages and skillfully wrapped his wound.

Kakashi watched Su Bai's decisiveness and precision in treating the poison, and felt deep admiration.

In a situation like this.

Normally speaking.

Only an experienced ninja like himself could cut open a wound and bleed out the poison without hesitation.

Kakashi walked over to Dazna and said solemnly, "Client, I need to confirm a few things with you. According to our original agreement, our mission was only to escort you safely to the Land of Waves and protect you until the bridge was completed. But now ninja-level assassins have appeared, raising the difficulty of this mission to B-rank. This is already beyond our expectations. You do not seem surprised by this. Forgive my bluntness, but is there something you have been unable to tell us?"

Dazna fell silent for a moment before speaking. "Ninjas, please forgive me for concealing the truth earlier. In fact, I had long expected skilled enemies to come after me, because someone wants me dead."

Under everyone's astonished gazes, Dazna slowly explained.

Basically, there was the owner of a shipping company named Gatō.

He was a terrible man.

He had nearly monopolized most of the sea transport business in the Land of Waves.

He did not want Dazna to finish building the bridge, because once it was completed, it would affect his shipping business.

So he hired ninja to kill him.

After Dazna finished explaining, Naruto and Sasuke shouted in unison, "The mission must continue!"

The two boys now had a clearer understanding of just how difficult this mission was.

When they compared their own performance to Su Bai's, a powerful sense of crisis arose within them.

Would they continue onward and temper themselves through adversity;

Or would they turn back now and bow their heads before hardship?

They had already found the answer in their hearts.

"You two, calm down."

Kakashi said after a moment of thought.

As a mature ninja, he knew that this was not the time to act on impulse.

Noticing Kakashi's hesitation, Su Bai, who had remained quiet until then, spoke up. "Kakashi-sensei, I suggest we continue the mission. With you here, I believe we can definitely complete it. As for the changes to the mission terms, we can report them to Lord Hokage immediately and require the client to pay compensation appropriate to the mission's difficulty."

Su Bai had his own calculations.

He knew that a hard battle lay ahead, and the legendary Momochi Zabuza would most likely appear.

When that time came, Kakashi would use the Sharingan to fight him to the death, staging a thrilling showdown of high-level ninjutsu.

How could he possibly miss such a rare opportunity?

That would be a huge haul of experience points.

For the sake of his own cultivation, Su Bai absolutely could not allow the mission to end halfway.

After giving it some thought, Kakashi felt that Su Bai's suggestion made quite a bit of sense.

After carefully weighing Team 7's overall strength, he believed that with himself and Su Bai present, nothing unexpected should happen.

"Fine. In that case, we'll continue forward."

Kakashi made his decision.

Naruto cheered excitedly, as if he could already foresee the fierce fighting ahead.

Sasuke merely snorted, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly as an eager gleam flashed in his eyes.

That willful client and the mastermind behind him had, without realizing it, given them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to temper themselves.

Su Bai carefully took stock of what he had gained from this battle.

Not only had he obtained the powerful long-range Kidō technique, White Lightning, but his fusion rate had also risen to 4%, significantly improving his strength.

His battle against Hidden Mist ninja who carried genuine killing intent had also thoroughly trained his ability to handle danger.

Su Bai was extremely satisfied with the gains from this encounter.

According to the original plot, Zabuza would definitely appear in the next attack.

During the fight against Zabuza, Kakashi would be trapped inside the Water Prison Jutsu and unable to move.

Once Naruto and Sasuke rescued Kakashi through teamwork, he would use powerful ninjutsu to fight Zabuza to the death. That would be the best time to earn a large amount of experience points.
