Lightning Release: Super Saiyan

Lightning Release: Super Saiyan (Bonus Chapter for 1,000 Recommendations)

Oguri Hayashi had no idea that the little girl beside him was Samui, who years later would be so valiant and constantly say, "Cool."

Right now, all of his attention was focused on the Book of Thunder.

Just as [My Style Secret Technique] had opened the door to taijutsu for him, this Book of Thunder had opened the door to Lightning Release ninjutsu.

He had long been experimenting with Lightning Release Chakra nature transformation. After all, among his Lightning, Fire, and Earth affinities, Lightning Release was his main focus. Now that he had the Book of Thunder, many questions he had not understood were immediately resolved.

He could hardly wait to begin testing his Lightning Release.

Naturally, he could not use those massively destructive Lightning Release techniques here, but Lightning Release transformation could take effect immediately.

He stood up, lightly clenched his fists at his waist, and let out a soft shout.

Under the stunned gazes of the two children, he transformed like a Super Saiyan. Static electricity made every strand of his hair stand on end, while blue electric light burst from his body. His combat power visibly rose, making him incomparably cool and dazzling in this tiny room.

This was [Lightning Armor], Kumogakure's secret technique of Lightning Release transformation. Lightning Armor not only possessed extremely powerful defense, but also tremendous offensive power and a boost in speed. It continuously stimulated the muscles with electricity, drawing out their explosive force. No wonder even Second Pillar's Amaterasu could not keep up with the Fourth Raikage's speed later on.

The Raikage's Body Forging Technique was undoubtedly the most advanced Nintaijutsu in all of Naruto. Relying on this Body Forging Technique, the Raikage had become one of the Five Kage with nothing but a body devoid of any Kekkei Genkai.

This was the path Oguri Hayashi had chosen.

He was not the research type who could treat the Sharingan like a hot-swappable USB drive, pluck one out and directly install it in his own eye socket. Nor was he the sort who could turn Sage Mode into an inferior, second-rate cursed seal mode. As for Sage Mode, which only four people in the entire story had learned, he had no confidence in himself at all.

What made you think you could learn it? Ninjutsu like Sage Mode, which only four people in the entire story could use, or Flying Thunder God, which only one person in the entire story could use—where did those fanfiction protagonists get the confidence to think they would definitely master them?

Then what qualifications would he have to stand on the same stage as those people in the future, let alone defeat them?

Kumogakure's Lightning Release Body Cultivation Technique was the core of his core, the foundation of his foundation, and one of the keys that would let him compete with them.

Now, [My Style Secret Technique] had laid a solid foundation for his body, while the Lightning Release Body Cultivation Technique would lay firm groundwork in Nintaijutsu. The final missing stave in his bucket was ninjutsu.

"So... cool." Samui's eyes widened as she stared at the short-haired boy whose hair stood on end, murmuring the words under her breath.

The boy had not yet grown into his features, and his looks could only be called delicate. He was simply more aloof than Samui. His earlier smile had seemed more like a threat to them, but after closing his eyes, he was as still as a mirror lake, utterly undisturbed.

This was the manifestation of [Stillness Ki] within [My Style Secret Technique]. Combined with the Lightning Release Chakra constantly moving through his body, he had, in that instant, reached the realm of [Unity of Motion and Stillness].

This wondrous state of balance allowed him to steadily output Chakra as naturally as breathing, gradually transform it into Lightning Release Chakra, and finally achieve an exquisite equilibrium.

Electric currents crackled over his body before gradually returning to calm. Blue light still shone from him, yet there was no longer the slightest movement.

In the dim room, with faint blue light radiating from his body, he resembled a supremely majestic Wisdom King. When he opened his eyes, a flash of light shot from them, making Samui stagger back and sit down on the floor. She only felt a dampness between her legs, her lower body tightening as though she were about to wet herself.

This was one of the initial signs of becoming a Martial Arts Master: the outward release of ki, bursting from his eyes. It was mixed with blue sparks of electricity because he had failed to fully control the Chakra transformation for a moment.

People in the Naruto world already possessed better physical constitutions than people in the real world. Moreover, Oguri Hayashi was a Chunin who had trained his body tirelessly for a full twelve years, and he had spent another month and a half cultivating under the guidance of [My Style Secret Technique]. It was only natural that he had just entered the Martial Arts Master realm.

In the original work, there was a girl named Kushibana Chiyage who had entered the Martial Arts Master realm at this age.

Oguri Hayashi's talent as a ninja could only be considered mediocre, but his comprehension was excellent. He understood things almost the moment they were explained to him. What he lacked was merely a Kage-level teacher.

His Chakra reserves were what they were, and it was difficult to call him a genius. At his age, Kakashi had already developed Chidori and could use several A-rank Ninjutsu. That was the fundamental difference between him and the native geniuses.

Only after possessing talent would famous teachers choose you. Jiraiya and Orochimaru, for example, were civilians, yet their innate talent had caught Dr. Sarutobi's attention. Their talent was surely no weaker than Kakashi's.

The current Oguri Hayashi was like Shikamaru. Though renowned for his intellect, his Chakra was too limited for him to stand shoulder to shoulder with geniuses.

But it was precisely because he had little Chakra that he had chosen the path of Nintaijutsu.

Now, he gently let out a breath, and warmth began to return to his cold face.

Until now, he had constantly walked the boundary between life and death. While carrying out reconnaissance missions, he could have been killed by a Sand Ninja jonin. In the Land of Thunder, he could have been discovered by a Land of Thunder jonin. At his current level, if he encountered the Fourth Raikage, Yugito Nii, or even just any jonin accompanied by several Chunin, death was certain.

But with the Invisibility Cloak in his hand and the Omni-directional Mobility Gear at his waist, if he did not make this trip, he would never be at peace with himself.

Since that was the case, then he would act.

At last, he had arrived in Kumogakure and stolen the Book of Thunder. Amid the tense pursuit, he had finally completed the foundation that would allow him to establish himself. Now, he could finally breathe easy and relax a little.

The blue light around his body gradually faded. A little practical testing was enough; if Chakra fluctuations drew the Cloud Ninja here, the loss would outweigh the gain.

He looked at the dazed blonde little girl staring at him.

Rarely, he smiled at her.

"What? Do you want to learn?"

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you."
