Chapter 44: Chapter 44 The Art Of Controlling Lightning
Since Sasuke is developing C-level ninjutsu, it's clear that it won't have too much focus on power.
But Sasuke doesn't see it that way.
The so-called level of ninjutsu, in his view, is simply a division based on the power and strength a jutsu can release.
But can lower-level ninjutsu unleash the same power as high-level ones?
Madara, for example, extinguished flames with a blaze. But when the United Ninja Army's Water Style ninjas combined their strength to counter it, was that the true power of the Fire Style?
Clearly, no!
It was just that Madara's own abilities allowed an ordinary Fire Style jutsu to release a power comparable to that of a big move.
Sasuke's thinking mirrors this logic.
The power of C-level ninjutsu can be seen in the same way.
For example, spending 100 points of Chakra to release only 20 points of power.
But if someone with 10,000 points of Chakra used it, the power released would be the same as someone with 1,000 points of Chakra—but definitely not the same in magnitude.
With this in mind, Sasuke wants to develop his ninjutsu.
In terms of power, he may not be able to pursue stronger output with less Chakra.
But while keeping the maximum power intact, the increase in power could be judged based on how much Chakra the user possesses.
[Capturing the thoughts of Host]
[Simulating...]
The next second, the familiar blue figure appeared again.
Immediately, thunder and lightning erupted from its body.
It seemed somewhat similar to the Lightning Style's super-speed mode, but the difference was that this was more of a weakened version.
Sasuke raised his hand, directing the thunder and lightning toward the villain's hand.
With the punch powered by the electricity, his speed increased significantly, and his strength also saw a slight boost.
But more importantly, the speed was enhanced, while the strength was only marginally increased.
Due to limitations, it wasn't possible to raise the strength too much.
However, with the continuous attack from the villain, lightning concentrated on the villain's fists and legs.
The flow speed of the lightning wasn't extremely fast!
But the technique Sasuke envisioned was more than that.
Then, the villain stood firm, clasped its palms together, and suddenly opened them, causing lightning to erupt from its palms.
A thunderbolt, as thick as an arm, instantly shot out.
Here's the translation of your text:
The lightning shot directly toward the distance, about eight meters away.
Immediately afterward, the villain withdrew his hands, raised his hand, and pointed toward the distance.
This time, the speed of the thunder and lightning dropped significantly, and its power also decreased a lot.
Thunder and lightning erupted from his fingertips and shot directly to a spot twenty meters away.
However, this lightning looked more like a small snake.
This is the new Lightning Style ninjutsu Sasuke envisioned.
It can be perfectly used in three different types of battles: close-range, mid-range, and long-range.
At the same time, this Lightning Style can provide short-term cell stimulation to the body parts where the lightning erupts.
It can enhance speed or strength.
Of course, the primary enhancement is speed, and in terms of strength, C-level ninjutsu still has its limitations.
The power of the Lightning Style released depends on the amount of Chakra the user has.
The stronger the Chakra, the more amazing the power.
But it's definitely not as powerful as a fast Lightning Style.
This is like the difference between a burst of 100 points of Chakra causing 100 damage and a burst of 20 points of Chakra causing only 20 damage.
After watching the little blue figure successfully simulate the idea in Sasuke's mind, the sound of the system began.
[Simulation successful, please begin the first auxiliary practice]
'Let's start!'
Sasuke closed his eyes slowly, carefully feeling the flow of Chakra in his body.
As Chakra began to erupt, Sasuke clearly felt intense electric currents, as if erupting from his body.
In an instant, it flowed rapidly, pouring out from every part of Sasuke's body.
The sensation was like hot blood rushing through his veins, spilling out from his pores.
Sasuke opened his eyes to see if there was lightning bursting out from all over his body.
Although the explosion wasn't as fast as a regular Lightning Style, Sasuke could concentrate the lightning on any part of his body with a thought.
Focusing it on his hands enhanced physical attacks, and it could even be directed to weapons to boost their power.
If directed to the legs, it could provide a short burst of acceleration.
This effect was a weakened version of the Body Flicker Technique.
Although the power of this technique wasn't too strong, it still offered significant help to Sasuke in close-range, mid-range, or long-range situations.
But if the Chakra output is increased, the power can still be improved.
However, relatively speaking, spending 100 points of Chakra to enhance the power of this technique is better than directly using 100 points of Chakra to release other ninjutsu.
Of course, the choice can only be judged in actual combat.
But the effect of this technique on Sasuke is equivalent to a weakened version of Thunder Fruit without the ability to elementalize.
Not bad for Sasuke these days.
[Auxiliary exercises completed, would you like to continue the auxiliary exercises?]
Hmm?
Continue with the auxiliary exercises, and Sasuke has already mastered it once.
If he does more auxiliary exercises, won't it allow Sasuke to strengthen his mastery of this technique directly?
'Then go ahead!'
After performing two more auxiliary exercises, the system's voice sounded.
[Three auxiliary exercises completed]
[Please name this ninjutsu]
'Isn't there a fourth auxiliary exercise?!'
I have to admit, the systematic auxiliary exercises are indeed very useful. By focusing, you can feel many useful details.
Sasuke can sense many nuances.
'Then it'll be called... Lightning Style~ Discharge!'
[Successfully named]
[Lightning Style~ Discharge (Grandmaster)]
Three auxiliary exercises directly brought Sasuke's control of this technique to the Grandmaster level.
Sasuke felt the technique carefully.
'The effect... seems better than expected!'
Sasuke smiled.
His eyes opened, and he had already left the ninjutsu laboratory.
Now he had the new Lightning Style Discharge technique, and it could be released without hand seals.
Although the power of this technique isn't too strong, its unexpected effects can definitely cause it to burst out with varying power.
Sasuke lightly clenched his fist.
'If you don't kill me again... I hope you come quickly...'
Zizi!
Lightning crackled across Sasuke's fist.
