Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

His situation is similar to Sasori's; both are countered by Lightning Release and are immune to Genjutsu.

Illusion is one of Haneda's most proficient abilities.

Haneda silently cut off the illusion, then turned his gaze to the Eight Gates Formation.

Based on the performances of Kai and Dai in the original work, the Eight Gates Formation is indeed very powerful, but the training time is too long.

Even with diligent cultivation, there won't be any major breakthroughs within three years; at most, one can open five or six gates.

To reach the level of a Kage, one must reach the Seventh Gate.

Swordsmanship is similar to physical skills; both require long-term practice to achieve significant improvement.

"15.6 chakra..."

"Perhaps I should have started with ninjutsu from the beginning."

Haneda murmured softly.

His current specialty, Lightning Release, is indeed very strong.

Aside from failing to develop the Kirin, he was roughly at the level of a 16-year-old Sasuke.

At this time, Sasuke was very close to becoming Kage.

His Qilin is an absolute killing move!

Even Itachi, who had activated Susanoo, almost died under Kirin!

"The Qilin utilizes the power of nature, has a wide range, strong attack, and is so fast that it is almost impossible to dodge."

Haneda recalled Sasori's 360-degree, all-around iron sand defense and thought that if he knew that move, he might not have lost that battle.

Then, he thought of Wood Release.

Wood Release has powerful sealing abilities and is suitable for ninjas with large amounts of chakra.

And I meet this condition.

In addition, Haneda lacked the wide-range attack or defense capabilities of Wood Release.

In short, he has always been a ninja with high offense and low defense.

"I should learn some wood clones, as well as some area-of-effect attacks and defenses. I'll study the rest later."

"Wood Release techniques cannot be used for the time being."

Having figured all this out, Haneda had a clear plan for the future.

At that moment, Uncle Tei also brought over Ichiraku Ramen.

"Here you go, your Ichiraku Ramen."

"Thank you," Haneda said, tilting his head back and smiling.

…………

In the afternoon, at the Ninja Academy.

A person that Takakura Bunta never expected came to see him.

It turned out to be his former best student, Uchiha Haneda!

This student, whom he was both proud of and troubled by, reminded Takakura Bunta of a painful period in his teaching career.

Haneda, this student, has frequently missed classes for the past five years.

When they're being polite, they know to ask for leave; when they're being impolite, they skip class altogether.

This person was his best student, and also the most outstanding in the entire history of the Ninja Academy!

Takakura Bunta withdrew his surprised gaze and asked with a smile:

"Haneda, you should be registering for the Chunin Exams soon, right? Is there something you want to ask me?"

"Mori," Haneda greeted, sounding a little embarrassed.

"I'd like to ask you something... well, about the principles behind lightning formation."

"Lightning?" As a teacher at the Ninja Academy, Takakura Bunta naturally had a deep understanding of the mathematical principles in nature.

The Ninja Academy teaches not only ninjutsu, but also biology and some basic scientific knowledge.

Like regular exams, there's also a physics section.

For example, calculating the initial velocity required for a kunai to hit an enemy's head, and the time it takes to hit.

This also requires taking into account air resistance, enemy movement speed, and distance to calculate acceleration and other data.

This is only a question of medium difficulty.

As a teacher, Bunta Takakura's research into physics will be even more in-depth.

This is also why Haneda came to see Takakura Bunta.

"There are many factors that contribute to the formation of lightning, um..."

"It is currently accepted that the collision of air masses at different temperatures in the atmosphere causes the separation of charges, forming an electrostatic field between the cloud and the ground."

"When the potential difference between the negative charge of the atmosphere and the positive charge of the ground reaches a certain level, lightning will be generated."

Takakura Bunta recalled the knowledge from the book and explained.

"Potential difference?" Haneda asked, remembering that lightning rods could attract lightning.

"Sense, how do we draw out the lightning from the sky?"

"Are you trying to develop new ninjutsu?"

Takakura Bunta suddenly remembered that Haneda had developed the Chidori, an A-rank ninjutsu, and the connection was immediately made.

But lightning in nature is not so easy to guide. A single lightning bolt is fast and can reach temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius.

With the human body being so fragile, being hit by such a blow would almost certainly be fatal.

Realizing this, Takakura Bunta quickly said:

"Haneda, there's a limit to how much you can develop ninjutsu! Lightning from nature isn't something you can use as ninjutsu; it's really hard to control!"

"I just want to know the principle behind it, Sense. Actually, even if you don't tell me, I can look it up in a book, but that's a bit of a hassle."

Haneda tried to be clever, but the facts are just as Haneda said.

If Haneda insists on developing this dangerous ninjutsu, Takakura Bunta can't stop him.

Takakura Bunta had no choice but to say:

"It works on a similar principle to a lightning rod, as long as a large amount of positive charge is accumulated."

"When the density of negative charge in the sky is large enough, the lightning rod and the cloud will be ionized, forming a conductive channel, thus attracting lightning."

Chapter 106 Chunin Examination

Upon hearing this, Haneda pondered for a moment.

When Sasuke unleashed Kirin, he raised his finger to the sky, a gesture that resembled the tip of a lightning rod.

Could it be that Sasuke was imitating a lightning rod back then? To attract lightning?!

Haneda understood.

The basic principle is to point your finger to the sky and concentrate Lightning Release chakra at your fingertips!

The key point is that the lightning released from the fingertips must be positively charged!

As for guidance, it requires constant practice and an understanding of the nature transformation of Lightning Release chakra!

However, the practice time must be specific; it can only be done on rainy days.

This limited Haneda.

However, with the support of Shadow Clone and Immortal Body, one day of cultivation is equivalent to ten days of cultivation, which is not bad progress.

If the S-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu Kirin is developed, Haneda will have a trump card that can threaten the Kage!

If Scorpion tries to form a 360-degree defense with iron sand like before, he will definitely be at a disadvantage when facing the Qilin!

Iron conducts electricity!

"Thank you, Morise." Haneda bowed in gratitude.

"It's alright, just be careful... Haneda!"

Before Takakura Bunta could finish speaking, Haneda had already opened the door and run out.

When he left, he made sure to close the door behind him.

Looking at the closed office door, Takakura Bunta thought to himself, "I should tell Sakumo about this."

Developing ninjutsu is too dangerous; it's better to have someone watching over it.

…………

Two weeks later, at the third training ground, the Water Gate team gathered.

Obito, dangling from a blade of grass, lay on a large rock, his hands behind his head, gazing at the azure sky, talking to himself.
