Of course, these seemingly powerful Lightning Release techniques weren't ideas that suddenly popped into my head these past few days because of my [ Diligent Study ].
For example, Lightning Release: Body Transformation into Lightning, a Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
Several years ago, Shin'un had proposed a rough idea for this Ninjutsu to Orochimaru.
He hoped to gain the ability to fly through this Ninjutsu.
The inspiration comes from the unique secret technique of the Hozuki Clan in Kirigakure, the Hydrification Technique.
The only difference is that the Hydrification Technique turns one into water, while the Body Transformation into Lightning turns one into lightning.
At the time, Shin'un and Orochimaru discussed this Lightning Release Ninjutsu for several days, but in the end they gave up. Ninjutsu Ninjutsu only had a name and a general idea.
They hadn't even figured out the principles behind Ninjutsu.
Could the human body transform into lightning capable of autonomous movement?
In Shin'un's view, this is not scientific at all.
In Orochimaru's view, this was not ninja at all.
Although the Shinobi World possesses the Hydrification Technique, which allows a person to voluntarily transform parts or the entire body into water, the problem is that neither Shin'un nor Orochimaru can understand its operating principle.
In the end, the two could only guess that this type of Ninjutsu was related to Yang Release.
After all, Orochimaru at this stage hasn't yet delved into future human experiments and reincarnation Ninjutsu, and he doesn't understand the most mysterious Yin-Yang Release.
Unfortunately, the development of Lightning Release: Transformation into Lightning had to be put on hold.
Now that [ Diligent Study ] has finished loading, Shin'un has once again remembered the Ninjutsu, Lightning Release: Transformation into Lightning.
With the boost that [ Diligent Study ] provides to creativity and thinking, Shin'un keenly perceives details he had never noticed before.
Sitting atop the boulder, Shin'un, lost in thought, looked down at his palm. His Chakra circulated within him, and countless currents surged forth from his hand...
"Phew~"
Shin'un exhaled softly, staring at the electricity in his hand, his attention focused, his previously lazy gaze gradually hardening.
"Sizzle~"
As Shin'un gradually drove the current closer to his palm, it could be clearly seen that the edges of his fingertips were gradually becoming blurred.
Seeing this, Shin'un narrowed his eyes and focused intently.
"Hiss~"
Suddenly, just as the fingertips of his palm showed signs of dissipating, the Lightning Release Chakra that had been flowing steadily within his body suddenly went berserk out of control.
Fortunately, Shin'un was focused at that moment and noticed the abnormality immediately, promptly expelling all the Lightning Release Chakra from his body.
"Zzz~ Boom!"
As the frenzied Lightning Release Chakra was expelled from his body, a visible, semi-transparent aura appeared around Shin'un.
They transformed into thick bolts of electricity mid-journey, striking the surrounding area and leaving countless Lightning Release attack marks on the ground and the surrounding stone forest.
"Phew~, still not working... even though there was a clear trend of change..."
Shaking his head, Shin'un recalled the changes in his palm just now, and a certain intuition in his heart grew stronger.
"It's not a problem with my Lightning Release." Shin'un's eyes narrowed slightly, his mind certain.
"The Lightning Release Chakra had been stable until the moment the palm began to change direction, at which point the Lightning Release Chakra suddenly went berserk..."
Stroking his chin, Shin'un pondered silently.
"It's like when Lightning Release Chakra itself repels the physical body during fusion..."
The two cannot coexist...
Nodding, Shin'un reconsidered and confirmed that the conclusion was absolutely correct.
"Therefore, there is a lack of an intermediate process... or rather a bridge, to ensure a stable connection between Lightning Release and the physical body."
Shin'un sighed and stood up from the boulder, knowing clearly in his heart what the missing bridge was.
" Yang Release " (a type of escape technique).
"It can only be this one."
Turning around, Shin'un walked towards the Konoha camp while silently pondering to himself.
"That's right. Looking at all the Ninjutsu I know that are related to the human body, most of them involve Yang Release."
"For example, the Akimichi Clan's secret techniques, most Medical Ninjutsu, Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Technique..."
"I wonder if the Kirigakure Hozuki Clan's Hydrification Technique also includes Yang Release."
"Hmm?" Shin'un suddenly paused, realizing what this meant.
"If that's the case, then the Hydrification Technique would require the simultaneous use of both Water Release and Yang Release Chakra... Would that be considered Kekkei Genkai?"
Noticing this problem, Shin'un suddenly stopped in his tracks as he headed towards the distant Konoha camp, a look of confusion on his face.
"Although it's not obvious, it should count, right?"
"Once the Lightning Release: Body Transformation into Lightning is fully developed, will I be considered a Bloodstained Ninja?"
Shin'un shook his head and smiled.
"Why do I often have random thoughts after [ Diligent Study ] finishes loading?"
"Let's hurry and find Nara- senpai."
With a thought, Shin'un looked up towards the Konoha camp in the distance, his Chakra flowing through his body, and he activated Lightning Body Flicker.
"Sizzle!"
A tiny arc of electricity flashed through the air, Shin'un's figure vanished from the spot.
A blurry figure crackling with electricity emerged from the Konoha camp, instantly traversing the kilometer distance with phantom speed to arrive outside the Konoha camp.
Outside the camp, a patrolling squad of Konoha Chunin saw a figure crackling with electricity flash by. They all stood still, watching with reverence as the figure quickly disappeared into the camp and vanished from sight.
"Whoosh~"
With a whooshing sound filling his ears, Shin'un leaped between the rooftops of countless tents in the camp, rapidly approaching the center of the camp.
The next second, the command tent where Nara Shikahito was located came into view.
With his knees slightly bent, Shin'un jumped down and stood steadily in front of the command tent. After greeting some Konoha Ninja around him with a smile, he quickly walked into the command tent.
"Report has been sent to Lord Hirakawa..."
At this moment, the Konoha who went to the Stone Forest to inform Shin'un Chunin just returned and was reporting to Nara Shikahito. Upon seeing Shin'un, he immediately stepped aside with a look of surprise.
"Senior Shikahito, did you call me?"
Taking a few steps forward, Shin'un walked to the round table in the middle of the tent, looked at Nara Shikahito who was reading a letter, and asked him a question.
After speaking, Shin'un glanced at the letter in Nara Shikahito's hand and noticed a certain symbol.
"The symbol of Sunagakure?"
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Shin'un pondered to himself.
After ruling out the absurd answer that Nara Shikahito is actually a spy from Sunagakure, the correct answer becomes obvious.
With his arms crossed, Shin'un said with a smile:
" Sunagakure finally surrendered?"
"That's right." Setting down the letter in his hand, Nara Shikahito looked up at Shin'un and replied with a smile, "It was a letter sent by Ninja Hawk just a few minutes ago."
After speaking, Nara Shikahito handed the letter in his hand to Shin'un, gesturing for him to look at it.
Perhaps he was indeed in a good mood. Shin'un had just received the letter, and before he could even finish reading it, Nara Shikahito couldn't wait to lean back in his chair and share the news.
"Not only did Sunagakure surrender voluntarily, but they also offered to have the two thousand Sand Ninja from the Land of Rain give up their resistance, which saves us some effort."
"In addition, the letter from Sunagakure also requested that Konoha send a negotiation team to the Land of Iron in half a month, at which time Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure would gather in the Land of Iron for post-war negotiations."
