"Haha, brat, where are you even shooting at?" an assassin chuckled, looking around.
His aim is really something. He perfectly dodged all of them and instead hit a branch next to them. I don't know how he trained to do that.
"Hmph! You can only talk like that while you still can," Sasuke sneered, bringing his fingers in front of his eyes.
At this moment, a large amount of lightning power gathered at Sasuke's fingertips, like a miniature Chidori, making Sasuke's palm shine deathly white.
"What is that?"
As the electricity danced, everyone vaguely saw a lot of steel wires appearing and disappearing in front of Sasuke.
"Steel wires? Could it be..." an assassin strained to look, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly shouted, "Get back!"
Rumble!
Sparks flew, thunder roared in the sky, and a bolt of lightning shot down from above, illuminating everything in an instant.
At this moment, the assassins were surrounded by countless steel wires, densely packed, blocking all their escape routes. They were like sheep awaiting slaughter in a pen, with no way out.
If they wanted to leave, they had to cut through these steel wires before Sasuke unleashed his attack.
"Wind Style: Gale Slice!"
They made their move, and wave after wave of wind blades struck out in all directions. Clang! Clang! Clang! They hit the steel wires, but to their surprise, the wires remained completely undamaged.
"How can this be?" The assassins were greatly alarmed and took a step back.
Boom! Boom!
The thunder grew louder and the lightning flashed more rapidly, as if revealing their frightened expressions from beneath their masks.
"These steel wires were made with the best materials. How could you possibly destroy them so easily?" Sasuke said coldly, "You can all stay here: Lightning Release: Lightning Restraint!"
As his fingertips touched, endless currents spread along the steel wires in all directions with a hissing sound and a strange glow.
In the blink of an eye, a cage of lightning appeared before everyone's eyes. In the gloomy environment, it looked exceptionally glaring. A trickle of current leaked out, and upon touching the raindrops, it erupted with astonishing flashes of light, briefly illuminating everything. At the same time, the falling raindrops were instantly vaporized by this current.
Without a doubt, if those people dared to rush forward, they would probably be roasted into charcoal in the time it took to take a breath.
Sasuke glanced at Neji with a hint of fighting spirit, thinking to himself, I'll show you my progress.
Whoosh!
He stood up and leaped onto a nearby tall building. Looking at the thunder and lightning filling the sky, a smile crept onto his lips. This kind of weather was tailor-made for his grand entrance.
"Neji, look at this move I prepared for you!" Sasuke roared, his Three Tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly, giving him precise control over his subtle chakra.
He raised his palm high, and a dense amount of lightning power gathered in his hand. From afar, it looked like a brilliant night pearl.
Hiss hiss hiss~ Hiss hiss hiss~
Currents scattered from Sasuke's palm, emitting flashes of light, seemingly resonating with the thunderclouds in the sky, guiding the rolling thunder down to the mortal world.
Rumble~ Rumble~
Lightning raged, swirling across the sky. Dark clouds gathered in swathes, and the entire sky was covered by lightning. Streaks of azure, web-like lightning floated in the void, exploding and converging according to Sasuke's will, melting and fusing.
"What is that? Is that Sasuke's jutsu?" Shikamaru, his usual lazy expression gone, stared at the fireworks-like electricity cascading from the sky, his eyes filled with shock.
"No, Sasuke's chakra isn't that much. That means it's natural lightning!" Hinata, activating her Byakugan, clearly saw the flow of chakra within Sasuke and exclaimed in amazement.
Natural lightning!
To guide such immense lightning, one must have extremely precise control over their chakra and a clear understanding of lightning's flow. Otherwise, even the slightest mistake could lead to utter destruction.
"Kakashi-sensei, can't your Raikiri cut through lightning? How does this compare?" Sai, true to his sharp tongue, seized the opportunity.
Kakashi didn't want to speak. He really wanted to slap this guy to death. Is that lightning? That bolt of lightning is almost as thick as Itachi's Susanoo.
"Everyone fall back!" Neji shouted. A dense layer of chakra armor instantly covered him, pure white and flawless, like holy light. Dozens of white hands extended from within, lifting them and carrying them backward.
Seeing Neji take them away, Sasuke let out a slight sneer. It was the first time he had seen Neji retreat so urgently, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
At this moment, he had selectively forgotten that this jutsu required perfect timing, location, and harmony, and took a considerable amount of time to activate – which would be fatal in a normal battle.
"I name this jutsu: Lightning Release: Kirin!" Sasuke said with a wicked smile. The lightning in the sky had now fully gathered.
The sky had turned completely dark...
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Deafening sounds suddenly rang out. The sky churned with dark clouds, filled with flashes of lightning. Suddenly, a magnificent, savage, and colossal beast leaped out behind Sasuke. Its cold, menacing eyes gazed like an abyss at the imprisoned assassins.
That was Kirin!
Its body was azure, solidified from lightning into a physical form. Its utterly terrifying gaze was filled with majesty.
Roar!
It was the sound of thunder, but at this moment, it sounded like the roar of a ferocious beast. The sound was so deafening that it whipped up a fierce wind all around, causing the ground to crack.
Now, everyone was stunned. This move was simply too terrifying and unnerving. But before they could recover their senses, they saw the ferocious Kirin, carrying rolling thunder, descend thunderously.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
An incredibly terrifying pressure descended, crushing trees and shattering houses. Kakashi and the others were relatively fine, protected by Neji, but the assassins could barely straighten their backs.
Seeing this, Neji's expression became extremely solemn. The destructive power of Lightning Release: Kirin was immense, even more terrifying than Dust Release.
Boom!
In the stunned eyes of everyone, the massive lightning struck down. A vast wave spread outwards from the lightning cage.
Rustle... Rustle...
In an instant, a hemispherical energy field covered the area. The air was constantly frictioned, creating shattering sounds. Sand and stones were swirled up, and lightning raged...
When the storm finally subsided, Neji and the others discovered that the place where they had been was now a wasteland, filled with numerous craters. The entire ground had lowered by several meters, and not a blade of grass remained.
Everyone gasped in disbelief. It was too terrifying.
"Hahahaha." At this moment, Sasuke let out that infuriating Uchiha laugh from his past life, looking sideways at Neji, he said, "I have surpassed you now."
