Chapter 49: Chidori Sharp Spear and Chidori Senbon!
After Kakashi retreated about a hundred meters, Yoruha walked to the lakeside.
If Yoruha Rampage again here, the water in the lake could at least lessen the force of the explosion.
Standing on the lake's surface, Yoruha began gathering all the Chakra in his body.
Chakra started condensing in his hand.
In an instant, a huge amount of Chakra formed in Yoruha's palm.
These Chakras instantly transformed into lightning.
"Crackle~"
"Bzzzt, bzzzt..."
Countless golden arcs of electricity immediately sprang from Yoruha's hand.
They coiled wildly around his arm like living things.
Within a radius of more than ten meters around Yoruha, countless bolts of lightning also began to appear.
They darted through the air like thunder serpents.
And at the center of all those thunder serpents was Yoruha.
Even though it was broad daylight, the countless flashes of lightning Yoruha produced still made his position blaze with intense golden light, like a blazing sun.
Seeing this from a hundred meters away, Kakashi swallowed. "Even though this isn't the first time I've seen something this dazzling, it's still shocking."
"This isn't even Chidori anymore. Whether it's the form of the lightning or the Chakra behind it, it's already far beyond ordinary Chidori."
"I wonder how powerful it is."
Kakashi had even revealed his Sharingan.
Yoruha's Chidori was obviously completely different from his own.
It was vastly more powerful.
Despite the tremendous commotion, the sound itself wasn't especially loud.
The piercing rumble of thunder only carried a few dozen meters before dying out.
After all, Chidori was a surprise-attack ninjutsu. If it made too much noise, it would lose its greatest advantage.
Yoruha watched as the arcs of lightning around him all converged toward his palm.
The thunder serpents roaming around him all fused into his hand.
Gradually, all the lightning condensed into Yoruha's palm.
The golden lightning trembled violently.
By then, the golden glow in the surroundings had faded, revealing Yoruha's figure.
All the lightning had gathered in his hand.
Kakashi was stunned. "He gathered all the dispersed Chakra back into his hand? Even I can't manage that kind of terrifying Chakra control."
"This kid really does surprise me every chance he gets."
Even though the lightning gathered in Yoruha's hand was much smaller than it had been at first, it was only because all of that terrifying energy had been compressed.
The Chidori in Yoruha's hand was now only stronger than before, never weaker.
Yoruha looked at the lightning gathered in his hand.
Then he turned to look at Kakashi in the distance.
Seeing Yoruha look his way, Kakashi froze for a moment. "What's this kid planning?"
Kakashi had no idea what that look meant.
Very soon, he found out.
The corner of Yoruha's mouth lifted, and he pushed off with his feet.
His whole body shot upward at incredible speed.
Like a cannonball, he instantly rose dozens of meters above the lake's surface.
And the spot he'd jumped from had already collapsed, spreading into a web of cracks over more than ten meters.
From several dozen meters above the lake, Yoruha slammed the Chidori in his hand down toward the water.
"Lightning Release·Chidori!"
With Yoruha's shout, his figure instantly turned into a streak of golden lightning and shot toward the lake.
Crack—
Skreee—
Rumble...
In an instant, everything within several hundred meters shook violently.
A massive explosion erupted in the lake, which was several hundred meters wide.
The lake water was instantly vaporized into mist by the terrifying lightning.
A flash burst out, and a giant crater a hundred meters wide appeared in the center of the lake.
All the water inside the crater had been blasted away.
Only after more than ten seconds did the lake water that had been driven aside slowly begin flowing back into the huge pit at the center.
Meanwhile, Yoruha had already landed by the lakeshore.
Fine golden arcs still remained on his hand.
Watching the lake water rush back toward the center, Yoruha smiled.
"Kakashi-sensei, what do you think? The power's decent, right?"
By then Kakashi had already come to Yoruha's side.
He looked at Yoruha's right hand, where arcs of electricity still flickered from time to time, then at the lake water flowing toward the center.
Kakashi's mouth twitched.
"Is this really the Chidori I taught you?"
He looked at Yoruha with deep suspicion.
Yoruha smiled. "Of course. The power should be alright, shouldn't it?"
Kakashi looked at him, the corner of his mouth still twitching. "More than alright. Even if I used Raikiri, I couldn't reach this kind of power."
"And your attack speed is even faster than mine. The lethality of this jutsu is definitely S-rank."
Yoruha paused. "S-rank?"
He really wasn't sure. He knew the Chidori he'd unleashed was powerful, but S-rank lethality was the standard for Kage-level.
Kakashi nodded seriously. "It's absolutely S-rank. My Raikiri is highly lethal and also S-rank, but it still doesn't have the kind of destructive force your jutsu does."
Yoruha thought for a moment and said, "Actually, while I was using Chidori just now, I was thinking that with a slight modification, this jutsu could be used as a long-range technique."
Kakashi blinked. "A long-range technique?"
Yoruha nodded. "I have an idea. I just don't know whether it'll work."
"Tell me."
Kakashi didn't think Yoruha was daydreaming. He knew Yoruha had an exceptional understanding of ninjutsu.
Yoruha quickly explained Sasuke's Chidori Sharp Spear and Chidori Senbon to Kakashi.
Kakashi nodded. "Not bad. The idea is completely workable. But if you do that, Chidori's power will weaken."
Kakashi was Kakashi indeed. Just hearing Yoruha's idea, he immediately understood the issue with both techniques.
Yoruha smiled. "Trading some power for more range is worth it."
Kakashi nodded. "These two improvements wouldn't benefit me much, but they'd be very useful for you."
"Yeah. Because I have a larger Chakra reserve, and my ninjutsu is stronger to begin with. Even after sacrificing some power, it'll still be very strong."
Yoruha added.
After talking a bit more, Yoruha decided to try out his modifications.
Truthfully, he didn't know how Sasuke had originally done it.
But based on Chidori, Yoruha already had his own ideas for improving it.
He also didn't care whether his version matched Sasuke's or not.
This time, Kakashi didn't move far away from Yoruha.
Judging from the control Yoruha had displayed while using Chidori just now, Yoruha had already gained mastery over that power inside him.
Although the speed of that mastery had far exceeded Kakashi's expectations, it wasn't something he couldn't accept.
Since Yoruha could control the power inside him, Kakashi naturally didn't need to keep his distance.
Standing by the lake, Yoruha raised his right hand.
In an instant, countless arcs of electricity gathered in his hand.
It was Kakashi's first time seeing Yoruha's lightning up close.
The power radiating from that golden lightning was enough to make even an Elite Jonin like Kakashi feel uneasy.
Watching Yoruha's serious expression, Kakashi felt deeply gratified.
"Yoruha is growing so quickly. At this point, there's barely anything left for me to teach him."
After all, Yoruha had already learned Kakashi's strongest ninjutsu.
The only thing Kakashi still had left was one Sharingan.
He couldn't exactly pluck it out and give it to Yoruha.
So he felt there was already nothing much left that he could teach Yoruha.
At least not in terms of ninjutsu.
But when it came to a ninja's experience, he knew Yoruha still had much to learn.
