Two months and twenty-seven days later....
Harry walked along the edge of the tranquil lake, the sound of water lapping against the shore soothing his mind. He had been practicing his Lightning Release technique for weeks now, and he was eager to see just how much it had improved his physical abilities. As he reached the edge of the water, he focused his chakra and activated the technique, feeling a surge of electricity coursing through his body.
With his enhanced speed and strength, Harry dashed across the surface of the lake, his feet skimming the water as if he were walking on air. The sensation was exhilarating, empowering. He could feel the lightning flowing through his muscles, allowing him to move with incredible agility and force. As he reached the other side, he leaped gracefully onto a nearby tree, using the momentum to propel himself high into the air.
The trees surrounding the lake were thick and sturdy, and Harry saw this as the perfect opportunity to test his newfound strength. He landed on a sturdy branch and focused his Lightning Release technique into his fists. With a swift, powerful motion, he struck the branch, feeling the crackling energy cutting through the wood with ease. The branch fell to the ground, split cleanly in two.
With a grin of satisfaction, Harry moved on to the next tree, repeating the process with effortless precision. He could hardly believe the incredible strength he now possessed, his strikes being as effective as a blade. It was a thrilling feeling, and he relished in the rush of power that surged through him with every strike.
After several more successful cuts, Harry finally stopped to catch his breath and take in the sight of the fallen branches around him. His heart raced with excitement, and he marveled at the incredible progress he had made with the Lightning Release: Overdrive technique. No longer was he just a shinobi with above average physical abilities; now, he felt like a true force to be reckoned with.
As he stood among the fallen branches, he couldn't help but reflect on the implications of this newfound strength. The technique had undeniably pushed his physical capabilities beyond what he had thought possible. He could feel the strain it had placed on his chakra reserves, though. Using the Lightning Release: Overdrive was taxing, and he knew he would have to train diligently to increase his chakra reserves to sustain this level of power for extended periods of time.
"Hmm, this technique is truly remarkable," Harry murmured to himself, a mix of awe and satisfaction in his voice. 'The speed and strength it affords me are unparalleled. I may have even surpassed the physical prowess of Captain America himself. But the cost...the toll it takes on my chakra is immense. I'll need to find a way to build up my chakra reserves if I'm going to fully master this technique,' he thought.
He took a moment to breathe deeply, centering himself and relishing in the sensation of power that still coursed through his veins. The exhilaration of his successful demonstration filled him with an intense drive to continue mastering the Lightning Release: Overdrive technique. He knew he had only scratched the surface of its potential, and the thought of what more he could achieve pushed him to train even harder.
Quickly deactivating the technique, Harry sat under a tree as leaving the earlier state, he felt a bit tired. Although it was a lot a better than when he had tried this technique for the first time as he had vomitted a lot and almost fainted after using it.
This technique had taken him quite long to learn as compared to other technique, but the time which he invested in this technique was actually worth it.
With his current chakra reserves he could use this technique almost three times. After using the technique he could he could remain in the overdrive state for approximately 15 minutes per use.
In these past three months he hadn't forgotten his physical training as well as chakra control training either. His chakra reserves had also seen a substantial increase over the past three months. Yet he still hadn't broken through to the Chunin level.
'I have to remain patient,' Harry composed himself as it hadn't been even a year from the day of his arrival in this world.
Though due to the increase in his chakra reserves he could perform the C Ranked Fire Release Technique five times and still have some amoutof chakra remaining for emergency purposes.
As Harry was lost in thoughts about the improvements over the past three months, he felt a vibration in his pocket. He reached into his pants and pulled out the small phone Tony had given him. The message on the screen read "Lunch is ready." He realized it was time to head back to Tony's mansion. Tony had insisted on giving him the phone for future contact and emergencies, especially since Harry often ventured deeper into the forest on his training expeditions.
Harry made his way back to the mansion, the lush greenery of the forest clearing giving way to the elegant architecture of Tony's home. He quickly cleaned himself up and joined Tony at the dining table, where a delicious spread of food awaited them. As they ate, Tony broached the topic of their upcoming trip to Russia.
"I've been working on something special for you," Tony said. "I've prepared a suit that will be essential for our trip to Russia. It's equipped with technology that will allow us to move undetected by any form of surveillance or tracking devices. With this suit, we'll be able to enter Russia without alerting anyone."
"For me? Really?" Harry replied, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Tony chuckled and leaned back in his chair, a knowing smile on his face. "No one else has had the honour to try one one of my suits yet, so you should feel grateful. Also I've put in all the necessary fail-safes and precautions. The suit has been extensively tested, and I have full confidence in its capabilities. Besides, I wouldn't let us go into any danger without proper preparation."
Harry nodded, feeling reassured by Tony's confidence. He trusted Tony's judgment and knew that the older man wouldn't take unnecessary risks. As they finished their meal, Tony suggested that Harry spend the next three days getting accustomed to the suit and its features.
Harry nodded eagerly, his mind already racing with excitement at the prospect of donning the powerful suit. Being a Marvel fan he ofcourse wanted to wear the Iron Man's suit and the opportunity had been perfectly presented to him.
Over the next three days, Harry immersed himself in training with the suit, familiarizing himself with its various functions and testing its limits.
Finally, the day of their departure arrived, and Harry stood before Tony, dressed in the formidable suit that shimmered with latent power.
"Are you ready, Harry?" Tony asked, his voice calm and steady.
Harry took a deep breath and nodded resolutely. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be, Tony. Let's do this."
With their preparations complete, Harry and Tony set off on their journey to Russia.
