At the mountaintop shrouded in clouds, a figure sat quietly cross-legged, surrounded by awe-inspiring arcs of lightning!
This figure was undoubtedly Uya.
After killing the Third Raikage, Uya did not choose to return directly to the Land of Fire and Konoha. Instead, he chose to stay in the Land of Lightning for the time being to train in the Third Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique.
This Secret Technique is best practiced in the misty environment of the Land of Lightning, where the high ground allows one to reach closer to the sky and summon heavenly lightning.
During his cultivation, Uya almost forgot everything about the outside world and didn't even have contact with anyone. He was all alone in the mountains, and all he did was eat, sleep, and cultivate.
The resources in the mountains are quite abundant; it would be too easy for a ninja to survive.
Crackle!
Thick arcs of electricity, as thick as fingers, flickered and danced on Uya's body, sending chills down one's spine. Yet, when these bolts struck Uya Uya, he showed no reaction whatsoever; his expression remained completely unchanged, utterly calm and composed.
Arcs of electricity flashed continuously between heaven and earth.
The area around Uya was almost entirely activated by his Chakra, transforming into a vast ocean of lightning, with endless bolts of lightning leaping about, and the aura of lightning attribute reaching its peak.
This cloud and mist can no longer be called cloud and mist; it should be called Thunder Pool!
In the Land of Fire, it's very difficult to create such an environment. Even if a cloud and mist environment is artificially created, it will dissipate quickly and won't last long.
Moreover, its terrain is undoubtedly incomparable to that of the Land of Lightning.
The Third Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique has an extremely simple cultivation method, but precisely because the method is simple, almost no one can master it!
Looking at all the ninjas, how many could actually harness the power of lightning in nature for their own purposes?
In the original work, Sasuke developed a technique called Kirin, which was already one of the most powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
This is only the first difficulty. The second difficulty is that one's own physique is not strong enough. Let alone cultivating with lightning, it is a question whether one can even withstand the bombardment of lightning!
Not everyone can reach the level of Uya, the Third Raikage, and the Fourth Raikage!
Although Jonin in Kumogakure is qualified to learn the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique, how many can actually reach the level of the Third Raikage?
Even if one has mastered the Second Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique, one may not necessarily be qualified to cultivate the Third Stage Third Stage, which also requires an extremely high amount of Chakra.
The amount of Chakra at the Peak Kage Level is the foundation of cultivation!
Uya's Chakra reserves were clearly insufficient, but fortunately, just like when he was training for the Second Stage, the powerful regenerative ability of the True Eight Gates Released Formation compensated for the lack of Chakra, allowing Uya to continue training normally.
Snap! Snap!
Arcs of electricity flickered and leaped across Uya 'Uya body, and a Lightning Cloak remarkably similar to that of the Third Raikage appeared on his form.
Within Uya's body, Chakra also condensed into lightning attribute, constantly interacting with external lightning and cleansing Uya's body.
Each time lightning strikes the flesh and bones, the body becomes stronger.
Three months have passed since Uya began his cultivation.
For the past three months, Uya has devoted almost all his energy to cultivation, and his progress has been very fast because the Third Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique is not difficult!
On the contrary, its cultivation is surprisingly simple and brutal.
Its training threshold is extremely high, which is beyond the reach of ordinary ninjas. However, once reached, training becomes very simple. This is why Uya understood it completely after sensing the Third Raikage's training process once.
Boom!!
A sudden burst of thunder and lightning struck Uya, and the solid rock where Uya was sitting was blasted open with cracks.
In the next instant, the clouds and mist swirled, and the thunderous pools that filled the sky shook violently before gradually dissipating.
After taking a deep breath, Uya slowly opened her eyes.
"The enhancement effect on the body is getting lower and lower. It seems that this Secret Technique, like before, will slow down the improvement rate the further you practice it. It's impossible to improve indefinitely."
"Otherwise, the Third Raikage would have been invincible long ago."
Sensing that his physique had slightly improved, Uya smiled and stood up. (To be continued.)
