NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 22: Chapter 22: This Day, It Finally Arrived
Click.
The door, long unopened, creaked as it was pushed open.
The slightly intoxicating sunlight fell warmly and ticklishly on Hyuga Kawa's face. Having been indoors for a long time, he squinted his eyes.
Yesterday, there was a not-so-small rain, and today Konoha had beautiful weather.
The puddles on the ground reflected the blue sky, like a clear sky with white clouds painted on white paper.
The dullness from days of secluded training at home was now washed clean by the rain and flowed into the drainage ditch.
"Looks like it's going to be a good day," Hyuga Kawa murmured to himself.
Amidst Might Guy's frenzied shouts of burning fighting spirit, Hyuga Kawa walked out of his residence with him and opened his system panel.

"Finally done."
Looking at the new ninjutsu listed under [Ninjutsu] and his Bloodline Limit reaching Stage Two, a smile spread across Hyuga Kawa's face.
This body, possessing the Otsutsuki clan bloodline, had cultivated ninjutsu at a speed far exceeding his expectations.
In just two months, he had not only mastered the Lightning Release Armor but had even developed Lightning Release: Chidori based on it.
Lightning Release Armor, a B-rank ninjutsu, also known as the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, works by concentrating Lightning Release Chakra throughout the body, covering the user completely.
This vitalizes the body, allows for the use of Lightning Release Shunshin (Body Flicker), and significantly enhances defensive capabilities and nerve conduction speed.
When the body and ninjutsu are honed to the extreme, the speed can even rival Minato Namikaze's Flying Raijin Jutsu, allowing for instantaneous evasion of Sasuke Uchiha's Amaterasu, moving as fast as a blue lightning bolt.
As for Lightning Release: Chidori, it's a derivative ninjutsu of Lightning Release: Raikiri. The two are not the same technique, and their training difficulty is on completely different levels; the former is A-rank, while the latter is S-rank. The distinction lies in the differing degrees of chakra shape transformation.
"Chakra shape transformation" and "chakra nature transformation" are both methods for using and enhancing ninjutsu. Simply put, the former is "shaping," transforming formless chakra into blades, needles, or similar forms, which controls the jutsu's power and attack range.
The latter is "adding attributes," transforming un-attributed chakra into Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, or Lightning.
In terms of usage, Chidori prioritizes functionality over raw power compared to Raikiri. Raikiri, through intensive "shape transformation," possesses more powerful piercing and cutting force.
Chidori's primary attack relies on various forms of Lightning Release Chakra to cause damage. Examples include transforming Lightning Release Chakra into spear-like or sword-like shapes, as seen in "Chidori Sharp Spear" and "Chidori Katana," and "Chidori Blade," which significantly increases a weapon's sharpness by infusing it with Lightning Release Chakra.
Hyuga Kawa had the sudden idea to try developing Lightning Release: Chidori after mastering Lightning Release Armor. After all, Sasuke Uchiha in the original story only took a few days to master Lightning Release: Chidori. If Sasuke could do it, there was no reason he couldn't.
However, to advance further and use Lightning Release: Raikiri, merely two months was far from enough, as it represents the extreme of Lightning Release chakra shape transformation.
There's also Kakashi's "Purple Lightning," developed after losing his Sharingan, which seems more akin to the extreme nature transformation of Lightning Release Chakra.
"Even so, this training speed is truly outrageous," Hyuga Kawa couldn't help but sigh inwardly. No wonder even the inherently optimistic Might Guy showed a moment of confusion upon seeing that scene...
Naruto, also known as Five Village Brawl: Eye Legend, Temptation to Return to the Village, My Village Chief Grandpa, Dad, Teacher, and Black Zetsu Saves His Mom.
This world, which tells the tale of the Otsutsuki family's various affairs, is indeed a place where bloodline reigns supreme.
However, this only made Might Guy's qualities even more commendable.
At this thought, Hyuga Kawa looked at Might Guy, who was burning with passion ahead of him, as if he could see a raging fire behind him.
"Guy-senpai…"
"Kawa!"
Before Hyuga Kawa could finish his sentence, Might Guy suddenly turned his head, grinning and revealing his gleaming white teeth. "Just call me Guy from now on. Don't call me 'senpai' anymore."
Hyuga Kawa was momentarily startled, instinctively wanting to refuse, as it wasn't conducive to maintaining a humble image.
But looking at the serious expression on Might Guy's face, and the subtle shift in his gaze when looking at him, Hyuga Kawa couldn't help but fall into a moment of silence.
Indeed, he wasn't lying to me. Natural simplicity truly conquers cunning.
Hyuga Kawa sighed inwardly, and finally, meeting Might Guy's gaze, he smiled and said, "Guy."
Hearing this, Might Guy's smile deepened.
"Guy," Hyuga Kawa continued to ask, "Did something happen in the village? I see everyone heading towards the village entrance."
"I don't know," Might Guy shook his head in confusion, but then chuckled, "We'll find out if we go, won't we? How about we race to see who gets to the village entrance first!"
Hyuga Kawa didn't spoil the fun by refusing. Seeing him run off with his legs swinging before he even agreed, he just smiled and followed. However, he actually knew very well what these villagers were going to do. They were welcoming the Hidden Cloud Village's envoy group, who had come to Konoha to sign an alliance treaty.
Although he had been in seclusion for these past few days, that didn't mean his intelligence channels were cut off.
Hyuga Kawa knew the importance of intelligence and had naturally prepared some contingencies.
He knew that the biggest contributor to the Hidden Cloud's arrival in Konoha for this alliance treaty wasn't Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was stationed in Konoha, but Shimura Danzo, who had been sent out.
Don't let Shimura Danzo's usual appearance of being inept in external affairs but skilled in internal conflicts fool you.
In fact, Shimura Danzo was very active in both the Second and Third Great Ninja Wars; otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the title of "Darkness of the Shinobi World." Hanzo of Amegakure, the Hidden Rain Village, broke ties with the original Akatsuki organization founded by Yahiko and the two others under Danzo's coercion and enticement.
Otherwise, Hanzo had indeed shown a tendency to ally with the Akatsuki before. If the two had allied, it's uncertain whether the Land of Rain would have won or lost.
So, from the results, one could say Danzo completely changed the course of the Third Great Ninja War.
Regardless of whether Danzo, this "Darkness of the Shinobi World" who could also be called a "troublemaker," was dirty or not, at least his shady tactics often produced miraculous results. This time was no different.
By instigating conflict between the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village, increasing the tension between the two nations, he instead eased relations between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.
However, Hyuga Kawa knew very well that all of this was the Hidden Cloud Village's plan.
"This day, it finally arrived."
Looking at the gathering crowd in the distance, Hyuga Kawa smiled.
