Naruto: I Can Reach the Full Level with One Click

"It feels… strange."

A flicker of exhilaration crossed Qin Yu's face.

Even when a shinobi is accustomed to their own body, sudden enhancements in speed and agility can feel unnatural.

But now, with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Qin Yu's body felt as light as a feather, just like the Fourth Raikage, Ay, when he used his signature technique.

However, the chakra consumption was rapid.

With Qin Yu's current reserves, he could maintain this state for at most twenty minutes.

If he performed high-level ninjutsu, the duration would decrease even further.

This was likely the reason why Ay had developed techniques like Lightning Armor to minimize chakra loss.

"Let's test the speed first!" Qin Yu stepped forward.

A thunderous crackle erupted in his wake. His body blurred, leaving only lightning arcs behind as he vanished from the cave entrance.

The Konoha ninja stationed nearby froze, then rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

"What was that?" Inuzuka Kaze and Miyuki Cangwu approached cautiously.

"We… we just saw a blue flash."

"But before we could focus, it disappeared completely."

A blue flash?

Inuzuka Kaze and Miyuki Cangwu exchanged glances before one of them muttered, "That looked just like the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Chakra Mode…"

"Senior Miyuki, now that you mention it, it did seem similar."

"Miyuki-sensei, are you saying Kumo is launching a counterattack?"

The two younger Chūnin displayed flickers of fear.

The previous battle had proven Qin Yu's might, but Kumo's forces wouldn't suffer defeat twice without bringing stronger reinforcements.

"No… I'd rather deal with Kumo than believe my own suspicions," Miyuki Cangwu muttered, exchanging a knowing look with Inuzuka Kaze.

Both shinobi had the same thought.

"We need to check the cave… Is Qin Yu still inside?"

Their younger comrades' eyes widened.

If the lightning flash they had just seen was truly identical to Ay's technique…

And if Ay himself hadn't performed it…

That meant only one thing—Uchiha Qin Yu had mastered the technique.

The battle had ended only half a day ago, yet he had already replicated the Raikage's secret art.

What could they even call him?

A genius?

A monster?

Or perhaps…

A god of ninjutsu?

Unaware of the shock he had caused, Qin Yu had already covered hundreds of meters in an instant.

With his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his speed had reached subsonic levels.

His cellular activation amplified his reflexes, physical power, and sensory perception.

Even the sound of insects buzzing from hundreds of meters away was crystal clear.

"Stop! We're Konoha shinobi!"

A desperate cry rang out.

Qin Yu instantly pinpointed the source.

Though he lacked sensory ninjutsu, he deduced the number of combatants by sound alone.

"Seven against two? Now that's interesting." A smirk tugged at Qin Yu's lips.

With a blur, he decided to investigate.

Deep within the forest clearing, two young shinobi stood back-to-back, surrounded by masked figures from Konoha's ANBU Black Ops.

"We're from Konoha! This is our identification!"

A pale-skinned boy, no older than twelve, raised his voice.

Behind him, a girl with violet hair and striking features stood tense, gripping her kunai.

Their flak jackets indicated they were freshly promoted Chūnin.

Normally, in times of peace, Chūnin promotion required rigorous exams.

But during the Third Shinobi War, promotions were often forced.

With Konoha fighting on three war fronts simultaneously, they had no choice but to send undertrained shinobi to battle.

Even Kakashi Hatake—at a time when he hadn't unlocked the Sharingan—was promoted and assigned to high-risk missions.

This proved how dire the war had become.

"Xiyan, stay behind me and be careful. We're close to the Kannabi Bridge outpost. If these ANBU misidentify us as enemies, we could be attacked before we explain."

Yūgao Uzuki hesitated, gripping her kunai tightly.

This was her first real battle after graduating from the Ninja Academy.

Before this, she had only performed low-risk missions—tracking lost pets, patrolling Konoha, and escorting civilians.

That changed three days ago when she was suddenly promoted to Chūnin.

She knew the reason.

With the frontline at a breaking point, Konoha needed reinforcements immediately.

Originally, Yūgao had hoped to avoid the battlefield.

But everything changed when Kumo launched a surprise assault—and her father, Miyuki Cangwu, rushed to defend Konoha.

To ensure the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, reached the battlefield in time, he personally led the counterattack.

As for Moonlight Hayate, he accepted this mission due to a bad premonition.

After three nonstop days of travel, they had nearly reached Kannabi Bridge.

Victory was within sight…

Until ANBU Black Ops intercepted them.

"S-Senpai, I'm Chūnin Moonlight Hayate! My father is Moonlight Naito, one of Konoha's Eight Strongest! Here's my family insignia!"

Hayate quickly presented his token.

Unlike his sensei, Miyuki Cangwu, his father was a true legend.

With Konoha-ryū swordsmanship and the Transparent Escape Jutsu, he was a feared assassin.

Within Konoha, he ranked among the most elite jōnin.

Hayate was certain—if the ANBU recognized his father's name, they would back down.

At worst, they'd escort them to headquarters.

At best?

They'd let them go immediately.

But if things went wrong…

The situation could escalate in an instant.
