Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Kakashi's Unlimited Power Mode
"Oh, Sara, you can't escape!"
Anrokuzan, towering at over a hundred meters, sneered with contempt. In just a few massive strides, he closed the distance.
"Everyone, faster!"Sara's voice rang with urgency as she led the exhausted Rōran civilians away.
But years of forced labor had taken their toll. Most stumbled, barely able to move, needing rest after every few steps.
"Choza, hold him off!"
Minato suddenly appeared beside Sara, grabbing Akimichi Choza's shoulder.
"Right!""Super Expansion Jutsu!"
With a roar, Choza's body grew until he matched Anrokuzan in size, and with a mighty shout, he grappled with the puppet's massive limbs, halting his advance.
"Damn Konoha shinobi! Why do you always ruin everything?!"
Anrokuzan howled, opening his terrifying mouth to reveal a giant cannon barrel.
Zzzzt—
A purple glow built rapidly at its center.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He unleashed a barrage of chakra energy blasts from the Dragon Vein.
Choza was hit point-blank. Unable to block them all, his jutsu was broken, and he shrank back to normal size, injured.
Minato quickly appeared beside him, catching his teammate and teleporting him away from danger as debris rained down.
Buildings collapsed, smoke choked the air, and the earth trembled from the relentless bombardment.
"Shadow Clone Shuriken Technique!"
Minato used the chaos to his advantage, throwing a kunai hidden among a hailstorm of shuriken. Just as the blade neared Anrokuzan's chest—
Flash!
Minato appeared midair.
"Rasengan!"
The spiraling chakra sphere struck the puppet's chest, boring a crater into it with explosive force.
But purple energy flared again.
The damaged area began healing immediately.
"Of course," Minato muttered grimly. "He's linked to the Dragon Vein. As long as that power flows... he's invincible."
Meanwhile, on a nearby rooftop—
"It's done."
Kakashi's voice cut through the tension, oddly cheerful. He cracked his neck, eyes narrowed with excitement.
"I finally cracked his energy intake technique. Took long enough. Honestly, it's like unzipping a stubborn flak jacket… just way deadlier."
He'd been quietly observing Anrokuzan's regeneration pattern, and thanks to his training in the Hundred Healings Mark, he'd discovered the secret.
Minato had noticed it too, but unlike Kakashi, his chakra nature couldn't sync with the Dragon Vein. Anrokuzan had completely puppetized his body to make use of it.
But Kakashi? He was built different.
He'd copied the energy properties of the Dragon Vein using Sharingan and embedded a new function into the Hundred Healings Mark.
Now, like Anrokuzan, he had unlimited fuel.
"Hundred Healings Mark—Release!"
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ten Kakashi clones appeared, each immediately activating Lightning Style Armor and forming a Chidori.
Electricity crackled.
"Gentlemen," Kakashi smirked, stretching, "this is the most chakra I've ever had in my life. Honestly, if I had a punch card, this would be my tenth free jutsu."
"Let's turn him into scrap metal."
"Yessir!" his clones chorused, and together they streaked across the sky like bolts of lightning.
"Hmph! You're all going to be crushed!" Anrokuzan growled, swinging his giant arms.
But Kakashi's clones zipped through the gaps, blitzing forward and striking his joints, eyes, and the back of his puppet head with pinpoint precision.
Anrokuzan paused—then twitched, his repairs activating again.
But it didn't matter.
The Kakashi clones also had unlimited power within the Dragon Vein radius.
The moment one broke a joint, it began healing—and they'd break it again. Over and over.
Infinite destruction.
"Rrraaaaagh!! You cursed insects!!"
Anrokuzan bellowed, shaking violently.
Minato was stunned.
Kakashi… using Chidori multiple times in a single day? Let alone with clones? Normally he'd pass out after three!
But now… he was sprinting around like a caffeinated jonin on payday.
"Whoa! Kakashi-sensei is amazing!"Naruto's eyes sparkled. "Let me try too!"
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!""Rasengan!"
More than thirty Narutos charged in, spinning chakra orbs like a marching band of chaos.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The assault was relentless, and even Anrokuzan's regeneration struggled to keep up.
Kakashi, mid-leap, caught sight of the Rasengan armada and blinked. "Great. I have infinite chakra, and somehow I'm still the side act."
He sighed with mock exaggeration."Should've asked Rin to write me a better power arc."
Still, he grinned.
Naruto's clones began disappearing after their Rasengan storm faded.
"Use the Rasenshuriken, Naruto!"
"Huh? How'd you know I could—wait… you invented it? At this age?!"
Naruto was stunned.
Kakashi winced."Oh boy, paradox detected."
He waved it off, smirking. "Just… trust me."
Naruto didn't push it. Instead, he and two clones began forming the technique.
The Rasengan rapidly changed shape as wind nature chakra was added—spinning faster, its edges razor-sharp.
The air howled around it.
"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!"
Naruto hurled the jutsu at Anrokuzan.
Kakashi and his clones immediately retreated.
BOOM!
The explosion created a massive sphere of raging wind chakra, slicing everything within its radius like microscopic blades.
Anrokuzan's scream echoed as the puppet body was shredded from the inside.
Kakashi stood still, eyes wide. "That… was beautiful."
And just like that—
Kakashi Hatake learned Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.
