At the temporary base, Anyo, whose injuries had healed, began considering how to incorporate ninjutsu into his swordsmanship, starting with Lightning Release.
He had a ready example to learn from: Raiga Kurosuki of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Back then, Anyo had already seen through his swordsmanship with the Sharingan and clearly understood how the lightning power within it operated.
After silently recalling it for a while, Anyo left his room and went to an open area, where the ninja blade in his hand lit up with lightning.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Fang."
Lightning flashed around Anyo, striking the ground over a wide area.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Strike."
"Lightning Release: Falling Thunder."
After releasing several consecutive ninjutsu through his ninja blade, Anyo was fairly satisfied with their overall power. They were far better than the Great Fireball Technique, which barely scratched its targets, but were clearly not enough against someone as powerful as the Tsuchikage. Still, even the Tsuchikage could not ignore the paralyzing power within Lightning Release. If he dared leave an opening, a lethal strike would await him.
Anyo pondered as he practiced, already treating the Tsuchikage as his hypothetical opponent and considering new ways to counter him.
Anyo soon became fluent in combining Lightning Release with his ninja blade. To increase its power further, he would have to work on speed and penetration.
After finishing his practice, Anyo began developing more Lightning Release swordsmanship techniques. As lightning-nature chakra flooded his entire body, combined with the continuous strikes of the Dancing Blade Technique, the open area erupted with lightning and thunder, obscuring his figure. This move ought to be called Lightning Swordsmanship.
Its power surpassed the Dancing Blade Technique, but its chakra consumption was also terrifying. If he had developed this set of sword techniques back then
