Forcibly Activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Killing Root Jonin

Uchiha Yao understood that he could no longer worry about anything else. He had to unleash his strongest power and end this quickly. The longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

"Looks like I can only use that move!"

"Though it's only a prototype and the backlash is severe, this is my only chance of survival!"

"AAAAAAH—!"

Uchiha Yao let out an uncontrollable roar!

The Lightning-nature Chakra within him began circulating frantically in an unprecedented manner!

Crackle—!

Blinding blue lightning, like countless ferocious thunder snakes, erupted from Uchiha Yao's body and wrapped around his surface!

A numbing sensation swept through his body alongside intense pain.

Arcs of electricity began flashing all over Uchiha Yao's body! His entire frame instantly swelled, his streamlined muscles expanding slightly as they filled with explosive power!

Lightning Release Chakra Mode: Prototype!!!

Forcibly activated!

This was a state Uchiha Yao had initially developed after mastering Chidori Stream, combining his understanding from his previous life of Nishidai Raikage A's Lightning Release Chakra Mode with his own insight into Lightning Release!

Although it was only a prototype, far less perfect and powerful than the true Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

At this moment, however, it was enough to allow Uchiha Yao to unleash power far beyond his own limits!

In this state, extreme speed combined with the Sharingan's dynamic vision would be the key to Uchiha Yao turning defeat into victory.

"What?!"

The wolf-masked elite jonin and the other two Root jonin all had their pupils contract violently!

They sensed an extremely dangerous aura coming from Uchiha Yao!

This level of Chakra eruption... was not something a twelve-year-old boy should possess at all!

"Die!"

Uchiha Yao left an afterimage where he stood!

His entire body seemed to transform into a bolt of blue lightning, instantly breaking free of the Yellow Spring Swamp's restraints and charging straight at the wolf-masked special jonin!

His speed was simply unbelievable!

"Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!"

Uchiha Yao aimed the strongest strike brought by his eruption at the strongest elite jonin.

The wolf-masked elite jonin was horrified. Uchiha Yao was simply too fast; he had no time to dodge.

In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Yao had already closed in.

Bang!!!

A dull, earthshaking boom rang out!

Uchiha Yao's powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu slammed viciously into the wolf-masked elite jonin's crossed arms!

Crack!

The sound of shattering bones was clearly audible!

The wolf-masked elite jonin let out a shrill scream and flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing through several large trees along the way!

One move!

A single move had severely wounded a Root elite jonin!

The extreme speed had made it impossible for this Root elite jonin to mount any effective resistance.

The other two Root jonin were aghast and hurriedly retreated, opening up distance from Uchiha Yao!

Their eyes were filled with fear and disbelief as they stared at him!

Was this kid... a monster?!

"Next, it's your turn!" Uchiha Yao's cold voice was like the Shinigami's judgment!

He transformed into a blue bolt of lightning once more and charged at one of the Root jonin!

The jonin was terrified and frantically unleashed Ninjutsu to block him!

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Earth Release: Yellow Spring Swamp!"

But at this moment, Uchiha Yao's speed, strength, and reactions had all reached an entirely new level!

The Ninjutsu could not hit Uchiha Yao at all.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yao had already closed in, and his taijutsu attacks were raining down on his opponent.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Within just a few breaths, the Root jonin was forced back again and again beneath Uchiha Yao's storm-like barrage.

After the strongest initial strike, Uchiha Yao's attack power had weakened somewhat, but it remained wild and formidable.

In the end, Uchiha Yao caught an opening and slammed a Lightning Fire Rasengan into the man's chest!

The jonin spat blood, his breastbone caved in, and he was sent flying in an instant. Whether he was alive or dead was unknown!

In the blink of an eye, of the three Root elites, one was dead and one was severely injured!

Only the last jonin remained. By now, he was scared out of his wits. He no longer cared about the mission and turned to flee!

"Trying to run? Too late!"

A cold glint flashed through Uchiha Yao's eyes.

"Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!"

At extreme speed, only Uchiha Yao's afterimage remained where he had stood.

The Root jonin had already fled some distance away from Uchiha Yao, but how could he possibly outrun Uchiha Yao under Lightning Release Chakra Mode?

Before the jonin could react or resist, the Chidori lightning in Uchiha Yao's hand pierced through his back and emerged from his chest.

"Urgh..." The jonin's body stiffened before he slowly collapsed, his eyes filled with unwillingness and terror.

The battle ended with astonishing speed!

Uchiha Yao took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the surging blood and energy within him.

The prototype of Lightning Release Chakra Mode placed an enormous burden on the body.

At this moment, Uchiha Yao's entire body was sore and wracked with pain, while his Chakra had been completely exhausted.

Uchiha Yao quickly deactivated Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Though pain racked his body, Uchiha Yao immediately formed hand seals and unleashed Fire Release once more.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The other two Root ninja had not completely died yet. To prevent a desperate counterattack before death, Uchiha Yao chose to finish them off from a distance with Fire Release.

The wolf-masked elite jonin let out a despairing howl as the massive fireball engulfed and ignited his entire body.

He struggled to rise, but within moments, all that remained was a pile of ashes.

After finishing them off, Uchiha Yao could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the ground.

This sudden assault by the Root assassination squad had been far too dangerous. One misstep would have meant death.

Uchiha Yao was glad that he had never revealed his trump card.

This time, Lightning Release Chakra Mode had caught them completely off guard. If they had known his trump card and sent a large force of elites to surround and kill him, then even with Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated, he would not have lasted long.

After resting briefly, Uchiha Yao endured the agony throughout his body, concealed the traces of battle, and leaped toward the direction Rin and the others had retreated.
