I rely on myself

Chapter 717: Imitation Lightning Chakra Mode
The moment she saw the smoke, Chiyomi subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly called out to New Moon and Crescent Moon to retreat, and the result was very smooth.

New Moon and Crescent Moon easily escaped from the smoke and retreated to Chiyome. Seeing this scene, Chiyome's bad thoughts not only did not disappear, but became even stronger.

"What's going on? If the smoke bomb is not used to block the view, so as to separate the connection between me and the puppets and destroy them one by one, then what is the purpose? Or... is that guy going to get serious! "

As if to prove that Chiyomi's idea was correct, suddenly a crisp sound of a mechanism being activated was heard. Hearing this sound, Chiyomi's face suddenly changed, and she shouted without caring about anything else.

"Full Moon! Maximum Defense!!"

Almost at the same time as these words were spoken, a roar like thunder suddenly rang out, resounding throughout the entire stadium, startling all the spectators.

At the same time, as the roar sounded, a figure with lightning wrapped around his body rushed towards Chiyomi at a speed close to the speed of sound like a cannonball, and with that astonishing deterrence, he punched directly on the raised round shield of Man Yue.

In an instant, a loud noise like thunder sounded again, and Man Yue felt his feet sink. Even with the 'Moon Barrier', a secret technique specially used to defend against ninjutsu, the remaining strength still made Man Yue almost unable to hold the round shield in his hand. It felt like it almost flew out of his hand several times, but he finally held on.

After reaching its peak, it finally declined. The most powerful period of the attack had passed, and the noise caused by it slowly subsided. Only then did everyone react and hurriedly look over.

As the smoke dissipated, the figure wrapped in lightning was, as expected, Xin. At this moment, his entire body was wrapped in a strong chakra, and lightning continued to flash on his body. For a moment, he looked like the god of thunder walking on the ground, quite powerful.

At this time, Man Yue also reacted and quickly swung his shield to try to repel Xin, but Xin was faster.

There was a flash of lightning, and in an instant, Xin turned into a streak of lightning and moved more than ten meters away from the full moon, as if he had been standing there at the beginning without moving. If no one had seen it with their own eyes before, no one would have believed it.

"Is this... Lightning Chakra Mode?"

The Third Hokage exclaimed in a tone of doubt, while staring at Lin Yuan without the slightest deviation.

It's no wonder that the Third Hokage acted as if he had never seen the world before. It was because the ninjutsu used by Xin was really too amazing. Even the Fourth Kazekage looked at Lin Yuan with shock at this time.

————Lightning Chakra Mode.

This is a secret ninjutsu of the Kumogakure Village, one of the five great ninja villages. Although it is only B-level, it is known as the "Lightning Release Armor". By concentrating the lightning release chakra on the whole body, the whole body is covered with chakra and lightning, which can activate the body and use lightning flash body, and the defense ability will be greatly improved. At the same time, the lightning bursting in the body can increase the conduction speed of nerves. With the increase of lightning release chakra, defense and speed will also increase accordingly.

At the same time, in terms of offense, because his body is wrapped in lightning, even the simplest punch or kick is very powerful, not to mention the use of ninjutsu specifically designed for this state.

There is a rumor that the Third Raikage was able to fight hand-to-hand with the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki, one of the Nine Tailed Beasts, and even chopped off one of his horns by relying on the Lightning Release Chakra mode.

But such a powerful ninjutsu naturally has corresponding risks.

The human body is a very complex and sophisticated system. Even a small mistake can cause big problems, not to mention the introduction of a destructive force like lightning into the body for stimulation. However, if you are not careful, let alone improving your strength, it will be a problem whether you can survive.

The other ninja villages naturally saw the power displayed by the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and it would be a lie to say that they did not conduct secret research.

However, after only roughly estimating the cost required to develop a complete Lightning Release Chakra mode, all major ninja villages gave up.

After all, the investment required is really too huge, but at the same time there is no guarantee of any gains.

So after a comparison, other ninja villages gave up, and finally only the Hidden Cloud Village had the secret technique of Lightning Release Chakra Mode. However, even the more complete Hidden Cloud Village was unable to promote the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Firstly, practicing such a secret technique naturally consumes a lot of resources, and secondly, this technique places extremely high demands on the practitioner's physical body.

Even in the Hidden Cloud Village, only successive Raikage and a small number of jonin can practice it, and this is just a simplified version. Only successive Raikage, such as the Third Raikage and the Fourth Raikage, can practice it completely.

That's why Sarutobi Hiruzen was so surprised when he saw Shin use the Lightning Release Chakra mode, and he even couldn't wait to ask Lin Yuan about it.

Faced with these surprises, Lin Yuan was not affected at all. As the gazes from those around him became more and more urgent, he slowly responded.

"Hokage-sama is worthy of being a doctor of the ninja world. I didn't expect you to figure it out so easily. Yes, this is indeed the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, or to be more precise, it should be a simplified version."

"simplify?"

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have thought of something in an instant and looked at the battle situation below again.

Shin, who had activated the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, showed an astonishing speed. Chiyomi and the three puppets of the Moon Phase Clan were completely unable to catch up with him. They could only gather together, standing back to back, and be alert. But even so, Shin's occasional high-speed attacks still made Chiyomi very embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face looked much better, and he said, "Although it is indeed the Lightning Chakra Mode, its speed and power are indeed much weaker. Although it cannot be ruled out that it is a problem with the user's own strength, it is indeed much weaker than the Lightning Chakra Mode of the Hidden Cloud Village."

Listening to the Third Hokage's words, Lin Yuan was not angry, but instead showed an admiring smile: "As expected of you, Hokage-sama. As you have observed, the Lightning Chakra mode that Shin is using now is indeed much weaker than that of the Hidden Cloud Village. This is because Shin relies on the help of the Chakra Armor to perform this technique, so naturally the power is much weaker."

Although he got the answer, the amazement on the Third Hokage's face did not disappear, but became even stronger. After all, as mentioned before, the disadvantage of the Lightning Release Chakra mode is that it places very high demands on the practitioner's physical body. But now this problem has been solved by the Snow Country with a chakra armor. How can this not be amazing?

Even the Fourth Kazekage's eyes revealed an emotion of excitement when he looked at Lin Yuan, and he almost couldn't help but want to speak. If he hadn't remembered his long-planned plan at the last moment and forced himself to suppress this emotion, he would have really not been able to hold back.
