Chapter 010: Lightning Release: Super Saiyan (Bonus Chapter with 1000 Recommendations)
Oguri Hayashi had no idea that the little girl beside him was the future Samui, who would be full of spirit and constantly exclaim "cool."
His entire focus was currently on the Book of Thunder.
Just as My Style Secret Technique had opened the door to Taijutsu for him, this scroll, the Book of Thunder, had opened the door to Lightning Release ninjutsu.
Especially the Lightning Release chakra nature transformation, which he had been experimenting with for a long time. After all, among his Lightning, Fire, and Earth Release, he primarily focused on Lightning Release. Now that the Book of Thunder had appeared, many of his unresolved questions were immediately answered.
He practically couldn't wait to start experimenting with his Lightning Release.
The techniques with immense power were naturally impossible to use here, but the Lightning Release transformation could take effect immediately.
He stood up, clenched his fists slightly at his waist, and let out a soft yell.
Under the shocked gazes of the two children, he transformed like a Super Saiyan. Due to static electricity, his hair stood on end, and blue electrical currents radiated from his body. His combat power was increasing at a visible rate. In this small room, it was incredibly cool and unparalleled.
This was the secret, unpassed technique of Kumogakure, Lightning Release transformation: Lightning Armor. The Lightning Armor not only possessed extreme defensive power but also extreme offensive power and even a speed boost. The Lightning Armor continuously stimulated his muscles, making their explosive power surge from the electrical stimulation. It was no wonder that later, even Sasuke Uchiha's Amaterasu couldn't keep up with the Fourth Raikage's speed.
The Raikage's body-tempering technique was undoubtedly the most advanced Nintaijutsu in the entire Naruto world. Relying on this technique, the Raikage, despite having no Kekkei Genkai, became one of the Five Kage.
This was the path Oguri Hayashi had chosen.
He wasn't a researcher who could treat the Sharingan like a hot-swappable USB drive, removing it and directly implanting it into his own eye sockets. Nor was he someone who could create an inferior imitation of Sage Mode with a cursed seal. As for Sage Mode, which only four people in the entire series had learned, he had no confidence in himself whatsoever.
Why would you think you could learn it? Techniques like Sage Mode, learned by only four people in the entire series, or the Flying Thunder God Technique, mastered by only one person, where did those fanfiction protagonists get the confidence that they would definitely be able to learn them?
Then, what qualifications would he have in the future to compete on the same stage as these people, or even defeat them?
Kumogakure's Lightning Release Body Cultivation Technique was his core of cores, the foundation of foundations, and one of the keys for him to compete with them.
Now, My Style Secret Technique had laid a solid foundation on his body, and the Lightning Release Body Cultivation Technique was building a firm foundation in Nintaijutsu. The last missing piece of the puzzle was ninjutsu.
"So... cool," Samui said, her eyes wide, staring at the short-haired boy with his hair standing on end.
This boy hadn't fully grown yet, and his features could only be described as delicate. However, he was more aloof than Samui. His previous smile had seemed more like a threat, but now, with his eyes closed, he was like a mirror lake, still and undisturbed.
This was the manifestation of Stillness Ki from My Style Secret Technique. Combined with the constantly moving Lightning Release chakra on his body, he had, in this instant, reached the realm of Unity of Motion and Stillness.
This marvelous state of balance allowed him to output his chakra slowly, like breathing, then transform his chakra into the Lightning Release nature, and finally achieve a wondrous equilibrium.
The electrical currents on his body crackled and jumped, eventually returning to a state of calm. Although his body was still emitting a blue glow, there was no longer any movement.
In the dim room, he, emitting a faint blue light, was like an immensely majestic Ming King. As he opened his eyes, a beam of light shot out, causing Samui to instinctively take a step back and sit on the ground. She felt a slight dampness between her legs and a tightening in her lower body, as if she were about to wet herself.
This was one of the initial signs of him becoming a Martial Arts Master: the outward projection of Ki, emanating from his eyes. It was mixed with blue electrical sparks, a result of his inability to fully control the chakra transformation at that moment.
The physical fitness of people in the Naruto world was inherently superior to those in the real world. Moreover, Oguri Hayashi was a Chunin who had persisted in physical training for twelve full years. He had also been practicing for a month and a half under the guidance of My Style Secret Technique. It was normal for him to have just entered the Master realm.
In the original work, there was a girl named Kushibana Chiyage who entered the Master realm at this very age.
Oguri Hayashi's talent in ninjutsu could only be considered mediocre, but his comprehension was strong. He was almost able to grasp things immediately. What he lacked was a Kage-level teacher.
His condensed chakra reserves were a given, making it difficult to call him a genius. Kakashi, at his age, had already developed Chidori and could use several A-rank ninjutsu. This was the fundamental difference between him and the native geniuses.
With talent, famous teachers would choose you. Jiraiya and Orochimaru, though commoners, possessed talents that Dr. Sarutobi recognized. Their talent was likely not inferior to Kakashi's.
And the current Oguri Hayashi was like Shikamaru. Although known for his intellect, his insufficient chakra prevented him from comparing with geniuses.
However, it was precisely because of his limited chakra that he chose to pursue the path of Nintaijutsu.
Now, he gently exhaled, and his cold face began to show signs of warming.
Up until now, he had been walking on the edge of life and death. During reconnaissance missions, he could have been killed by a Sand Shinobi High Ninja. In the Land of Thunder, he could have been discovered by a Land of Thunder High Ninja. At his current level, if he encountered the Fourth Raikage, Yugito Nii, or even just any High Ninja, or several Chunin, he would surely die.
But he held the Invisibility Cloak and had the Omni-directional Mobility Gear strapped to his waist. Without undertaking this mission, his heart would never be at peace.
Since that was the case, he would act.
Finally, he had arrived at Kumogakure, stolen the Book of Thunder, and after being intensely pursued, he had finally completed the foundation of his existence. Now, he could finally relax and take a breather.
The blue light on his body gradually dissipated. A brief practice was enough. If the chakra fluctuations attracted any Cloud Ninja, it would be a loss.
Looking at the dazed little blonde girl staring at him.
He rarely smiled at her.
"What? Do you want to learn?"
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you."
