Year 39 of Konoha
“Ling, where are we going today?”
“Let’s go to the training ground.
I’ve been developing a Ninjutsu for over half a year, and I finally have some results!”
“Yo, yo, let’s go, to the training ground, Ling has a new Ninjutsu!”
The ones speaking were Motoi, Ye Yue Ling, and Killer Bee.
Since the first half of year 37, they had been skipping classes for nearly half a year, training at the training ground every day.
Irei and Kapeti actually wanted to join Killer Bee and the others, but because they couldn’t maintain the Clone Technique for long periods yet, they could only continue refining it in hopes of joining the training soon.
“Killer Bee, how has your Seven-Sword Style practice been lately?
Come and spar with me!”
“Yo, yo, idiot Ling, bastard Ling, feel this great one’s Seven-Sword Style!”
After Killer Bee finished speaking, he pulled out seven swords from the sword bag on his back.
He held two in his hands, one in his mouth, one between his legs, two in his elbows, and even one behind his neck.
“Come on!”
After Ye Yue Ling spoke, he stimulated the Lightning Release Chakra in his cells.
Although this stimulation wasn’t the complete version and could only partially transform his cells with Lightning Release Chakra, it still significantly increased Ye Yue Ling’s physical speed and attack power.
Ye Yue Ling’s incomplete Lightning Release Chakra Mode was roughly half as powerful as the finished version.
Ye Yue Ling transformed his hands and legs with Lightning Release Chakra.
“Killer Bee, watch out!”
“Yo, yo, this great one knows!”
After Ye Yue Ling finished speaking, his Lightning Release Chakra erupted, and he lunged forward.
“Lightning Straight!”
This was an attack method of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, where the user transforms their tempered hands into lightning blades to attack the enemy.
Killer Bee dodged the Lightning Straight with a Substitution Technique, then jumped up, using his seven ninja swords in a spinning attack.
“Yo, yo, Ling, take this great one’s newly developed move!”
Killer Bee’s seven swords suddenly erupted with the sound of sizzling electricity.
“Has Killer Bee infused his own Lightning Release into the swords?!”
Ye Yue Ling thought to himself.
“Yo, yo, take this move, Lightning Release: Seven-Sword Style!”
Killer Bee attacked Ye Yue Ling while tumbling with the swords infused with Lightning Release.
Killer Bee’s Seven-Sword Style was already very strong; except for Ye Yue Ling, anyone who engaged in close combat with Killer Bee would end up defeated.
However, as Ye Yue Ling watched Killer Bee tumble, turning the seven swords into an incredibly sharp meat grinder, he wasn’t afraid.
“Killer Bee, since you’ve already developed a new Ninjutsu, there’s no need for me to hide anything anymore.”
“Lightning Release: Chidori!”
In his hand infused with Lightning Release Chakra, Ye Yue Ling gathered a mass of Lightning Release Chakra that sounded like a thousand birds chirping.
While Lightning Release Chakra stimulates activity, it also increases muscle strength, and even eye observation distance and reaction speed.
It was because the Lightning Release Chakra enhanced Ye Yue Ling’s eyes that he dared to develop Chidori; after all, Chidori is said to require the Sharingan to be used properly.
However, after Ye Yue Ling developed it himself, he found that as long as one’s dynamic vision is sufficient, one can completely master Chidori.
Otherwise, with the Fourth Raikage’s incredible speed, if his eyes couldn’t react, wouldn’t it be quite useless?
“Killer Bee, be careful.
I don’t even know how powerful this move is!”
Looking at the Chidori in Ye Yue Ling’s hand, Killer Bee unconsciously broke into a cold sweat.
“Yo…
yo…
this great one knows!”
After Killer Bee finished speaking, Ye Yue Ling, holding the Chidori and covered in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, rushed toward him.
Killer Bee hastily dodged and threw the swords he had already infused with Lightning Release Chakra at Ye Yue Ling.
But under the attack power of Chidori, those swords were instantly pulverized into dust.
Killer Bee threw two swords and saw they had no effect at all, so he steeled himself and lunged toward Ye Yue Ling’s chest, which wasn’t protected by Lightning Release Chakra.
Seeing Killer Bee lunging at his chest, Ye Yue Ling also aimed the Chidori at Killer Bee’s remaining five swords, slashing through them at extreme speed.
All five swords were turned into blunt, edgeless scraps.
“Yo, yo, Ling, new Ninjutsu, high power, can’t win!”
Seeing that his swords had completely lost their offensive capability, Killer Bee gave up on attacking again.
Although he still carried seven spare swords, he figured that even if he took them out, it would just be adding seven more useless blades.
“Killer Bee, you’re already very strong.”
After Ye Yue Ling finished speaking, he aimed his Chidori at a large tree and struck it.
In an instant, the large tree was charred from its base and then slowly collapsed to the ground.
“This!
This!!”
Motoi was so shocked his mouth hung open.
“Is this really the strength a seven-year-old should have?
If you said you were a Jonin, people would probably believe you!”
Motoi had also trained hard this year and had learned a C-rank Lightning Release, Lightning Release: Lightning Explosion.
But compared to Killer Bee and Ye Yue Ling, his C-rank Ninjutsu would probably just be easy pickings.
“Motoi, you’re already very strong.
Not many people can learn a C-rank Lightning Release at seven years old!”
Ye Yue Ling comforted him.
Motoi’s mouth twitched.
“I don’t feel comforted at all.
This Chidori of yours is probably A-rank in power!”
“Yeah, but this Chidori was also developed based on the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, so it can’t be considered something I developed completely independently!”
“That’s still incredibly outrageous, co-developing an A-rank Ninjutsu at seven!”
“Yo, yo, Ling, Chidori, unstoppable!”
Ye Yue Ling smiled slightly as he listened to the two of them.
“Alright, let’s go eat barbecue in a bit.
My treat, to celebrate my development of Chidori and also to celebrate Killer Bee developing the Lightning Release Ninja Swords!”
“Yo, yo, Ling, new move, eat barbecue!”
“Wow, I want to eat the most expensive barbecue!”
“Let’s go, no problem.
I’ll cover however much you want to eat, until you’re full!”
Ye Yue Ling patted his chest heroically.
The three of them left the training ground just like that.
A few minutes after they left, the bushes suddenly made a sound.
A man appeared, summoned a messenger ninja pigeon, and wrote a letter.
“Deliver this to Lord Tsuchikage, White Pigeon!”
“Coo coo!”
