Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Chapter 153 You're hunting down Isshin, what does that have to do with me, Shinichi Higashino?

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Cang's eyes. The katana in his hand trembled slightly from the slash, and a tingling sensation came from the tiger's mouth.

That kid has incredible strength!

A thought flashed through Ye Cang's mind, but his reaction was not slow at all. Using the force of the rebound after his attack was blocked, he twisted his body strangely in mid-air and changed his direction by force, flashing to the left!

At the same instant, Shinichi's chakra exploded beneath his feet, the ground shattered with a crack, and he was like a cannonball launched from a gun, chasing after the enemy with his sword!

Just as Shinichi was about to close in, Yekura's figure suddenly blurred, as if merging into the air, and disappeared from the spot!

The next moment!

A chilling killing intent suddenly surged from behind Shinichi!

Ye Cang appeared three feet behind him like a ghost, her katana gleaming silently as she thrust it straight at Shinichi's back!

This sword strike was swift, precise, and ruthless! Its speed was off the charts!

Shinichi seemed oblivious to the katana about to pierce him, and with a backhand slash, the blade aimed directly at Yekura's neck, covering a much wider area!

A life for a life!

That kid's ruthless!

Ye Cang's eyes flickered slightly, and the katana he thrust out abruptly stopped in mid-air. He then withdrew and retreated, his figure disappearing from the spot as if it had merged into the air. Shinichi's backhand slash only struck the afterimage.

Ye Cang's figure reappeared three zhang away, but just as she landed...

A piercing, ear-piercing sound, like a thousand birds chirping, exploded out instantly!

Suddenly, the long sword in Shinichi's hand shone with a dazzling azure lightning. Lightning Release chakra surged wildly into the blade, and leaping arcs of electricity hissed and flowed on the edge, transforming the entire sword into a blade of lightning!

Lightning Release: Chidori Blade!

Stimulated by the Lightning Release chakra, his speed surged once again, and he transformed into a streak of blue and white lightning, chasing straight after the retreating Yekura!

Lightning Release!?

Isn't this kid known for his Fire Release techniques?

A flash of surprise crossed Ye Cang's mind, but her reaction was swift. She twirled her katana, and azure wind-attribute chakra suddenly appeared on the blade, forming a thin, yet extremely sharp, wind blade.

Her bloodline limit, Scorching Release, is a fusion of wind and fire chakra nature transformations. However, it was not inherited from her family's bloodline. Instead, she created her own bloodline limit through trial and error.

This also means that she has a profound understanding and control over the nature changes of the two attributes of wind and fire that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Faced with Shinichi's lightning-style pursuit, she immediately activated her wind-style chakra, causing the cyan blade to cover the katana.

Clang!

Blade and katana clash once more!

This collision was much more intense than the first one!

Blinding sparks exploded, and cyan wind blades and azure lightning clashed and tore and splashed wildly at the point where the two swords clashed!

The wind blades shot out and carved furrows in the ground, while the leaping arcs of electricity sent rubble flying everywhere!

The two became two lightning-fast afterimages on the dusty battlefield, touching and separating instantly, touching and separating again!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Shinichi's long sword transformed into a blue-white lightning bolt. Each strike was powerful and heavy, carrying the violent penetrating force of the Chidori Blade. He slashed, cut, flicked, and thrust, each move aimed directly at vital points!

Yekura's katana is like a nimble snake, with blue wind blades wrapped around it. It is light and agile, using speed to fight speed and skill to break force. With each collision, it borrows and deflects the opponent's force, dissolving the opponent's terrifying power into nothingness!

The sharp sounds of swords clashing were as dense as a sudden rainstorm. Each clash sparked blinding sparks, and cyan wind blades and azure lightning shot out continuously, cutting the already messy ground to pieces, leaving countless scorched marks and crisscrossing blade marks!

The ground beneath their feet cracked repeatedly with each collision, the rubble being pulverized by the blasting wind blades and arcs of electricity, and the smoke and dust grew thicker and thicker, almost completely engulfing their figures!

too fast!

They were moving so fast that their movements were barely visible. One could only catch glimpses of two streaks of light crisscrossing the battlefield. Wherever they passed, the air tore apart, the ground crumbled, and rubble and dust were whipped up by the violent airflow, forming small whirlwinds!

Hyuga Hizashi stood in front of the medical ninjas, his Byakugan fixed on the two rapidly moving chakra streams within the cloud of smoke.

fast!

In his Byakugan vision, the two chakra trails almost intertwined into a chaotic net of light, so fast that even he could hardly capture the details of each strike!

Lightning Release!

Shinichi-kun actually knows Lightning Release, and his skill in it is so extraordinary.

Hyuga Hizashi was surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it further.

After all, that's Shinichi Higashino.

The youngest and most brilliant genius in Konoha.

For someone who has mastered Fire Release, Taijutsu, Swordsmanship, and Medical Arts to such a high level at this age, it wouldn't be surprising if they also mastered Lightning Release.

But why does this lightning style look so familiar?

More than two months ago, Isshin, the samurai from the Land of Iron who caused quite a stir in the Konoha Arena, also used Lightning Release.

Now, Shinichi's Lightning Release technique, in terms of form, fluctuations, and application, is exactly the same as that of the samurai from that day.

Could it be... that he learned it from just one battle?

Hyuga Hizashi's pupils contracted slightly.

That samurai's lightning release technique was clearly a unique and self-contained secret art, not something that could be imitated by simply glancing at it.

But how can we explain this scene before us?

A genius?

Wind blades! Lightning bolts! Spurred wildly through the intersecting paths of the two!

The sharp sounds of swords clashing were as dense as a torrential downpour on banana leaves. Each collision sparked dazzling sparks, and each impact created a shockwave!

This kid knows Lightning Release, and he's so proficient at it!?

In the midst of the fierce clash, Ye Cang was deeply shaken as he looked at the young man before him, whose body was surrounded by lightning, whose speed had increased dramatically, and whose swordsmanship was fierce and sharp.

This kid is already very fast; Yekura realized his amazing explosive power and speed from the very first exchange.

With the boost from Lightning Release chakra, his speed increased dramatically, becoming ridiculously fast!

Even faster than her when she used Swift Escape!

In other words, it seems that the kid's reaction speed cannot keep up with his body speed, causing extremely slight delays between each of his rapid attacks.

It's like the eyes and brain haven't even finished processing the previous action before the body has already started the next one.

Even so, the battle situation remains difficult.

This kid is too difficult to deal with!

Although she tried her best to avoid direct confrontation, either dodging or deflecting the force.

But that guy's swordplay was too fierce, covering too wide an area. In the battle, he attacked with every strike, risking his life with every move. His wild and ruthless energy was like that of a bloodthirsty beast!

She was forced to fight back several times, but after a while, Ye Cang's hands also felt numb.

This can't go on any longer.

She took a deep breath, and her swift movement suddenly burst forth, causing her to retreat rapidly!

At the same time, he unleashed a vacuum blade with his right hand!

A solid wind blade tore through the air and whistled as it slashed toward Shinichi!

Zhen Zhou flashed with lightning, dodging to the side, and was about to give chase.

However, in that instant, Yekura's left hand had already completed the hand seal!

Scorching Escape: Over-Steam Kill!

Several orange fireballs shot out, blocking all of Shinichi's pursuit paths!

Zhen Yi's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly swept his long sword horizontally, causing the azure lightning on the blade to surge violently!

A blade of lightning, formed from the light, shot out from the blade and precisely struck the incoming orange fireball!

boom!!!

The fireball exploded in mid-air, turning into countless sparks that flew everywhere!

The scorching heatwave spread outwards, burning the rubble on the ground black.

Sparks rained down, creating a dazzling yet deadly curtain of light between the two.

Amidst the countless sparks, Yekura's figure gently landed on a protruding rock.

Her orange-blonde highlights swayed slightly in the heat, and her slender figure stood out vividly in the firelight.

Ye Cang looked at the boy in front of him and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Kids from Konoha, it's been a long time. I never imagined we'd meet again..."

However, when Ye Cang greeted him, the boy only glanced behind her and, before she could finish speaking, turned into a streak of blue and white lightning and ran away!

The next moment, the dense black shadows behind Ye Cang surged out like a tide!

Three hundred elite Sand Hidden Warriors!

The group consisted entirely of combat ninjas, with the leading dozens of Jonin possessing a deep and imposing aura, followed by more than two hundred Chunin whose eyes were sharp as knives!

At the forefront, three young men with purple hair were fully activating their red eyes. Their unique eyes flashed with an eerie light as they rapidly scanned their surroundings. Invisible chakra fluctuations spread out like ripples on water, creating illusory images that disturbed vision and perception.

Under the combined effect of these three pairs of red eyes, this area appeared to Konoha as just an ordinary corner of a battlefield where fierce fighting was taking place.

Even Hyuga Hizashi, who was closest to the area, only saw Shinichi and Yekura continuing their fight when his Byakugan swept across the area.

Yekura:

'

'

She opened her mouth, but the greeting she was about to say got stuck in her throat.

"run?"

Ye Cang quickly came to her senses, the curve of her lips slowly widening until it finally turned into a soft laugh.

"Can you escape?"

As soon as the words were spoken, an orange afterimage streaked through the air and sped after the bolt of lightning!

Behind them, three hundred elite Sand Village soldiers followed closely, sweeping past like a black tide!

Those three pairs of eerie red eyes remained fixed on the fleeing figure, ensuring that this area remained a blind spot for Konoha's perception while locking onto the target.

In the distance, the battle on Mount Kikyo continues.

Shouts of battle, screams of agony, and the clang of metal mingled together.

No one noticed that on the other side of the battlefield, behind a relatively hidden pile of rubble, a Shinichi "shadow clone" who was tending to the wounded suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction that Yekura's team had chased after.

Go after them, keep chasing them!

You're hunting down Isshin, what does that have to do with me, Shinichi Higashino?

Shinichi withdrew his gaze and continued to tend to his wound, his movements still steady, as if nothing had happened.

It turns out that the "Shinichi" that Hyuga Hizashi had been following was actually a clone of Isshin in disguise from the very beginning.

He himself mingled among the ten shadow clones, dispersing throughout the battlefield as the shadow clone of "Shinichi Higashino," treating the wounded and moving back and forth.

Anyway, the shadow clones are all his original appearance, and the battlefield is so chaotic, who would notice which one is real and which one is fake?

The "Shinichi" protected by Hyuga Hizashi is Isshin.

The "Shinichi" who fought fiercely with Yekura was also Isshin.

The real Shinichi Higashino was never exposed to anyone's sight from the very beginning.

As for Fire Release?

In the two months since his clone left Konoha and returned to the Land of Iron, he hasn't been idle.

He has been training in the nature transformation of fire-style chakra so that one day he can better impersonate Shinichi's true form.

Although the clone's focus doesn't have the same advantages as the original ninja's abilities, its training and learning efficiency is indeed much lower.

But Shinichi's mastery and foundation in Fire Release were undeniable.

Looking at the entire ninja world, in terms of understanding fire-style chakra and insight into the essence of fire-style ninjutsu, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Shinichi is the number one ninja in the world today.

So after more than two months, he successfully developed fire-style chakra and mastered the core fire-style ninjutsu techniques, such as Dark Brush and Wild Bite.

However, without the various ninja talent attributes, especially the [Fire Release Mastery] attribute, Isshin's Fire Release, in terms of power and flexibility, is far inferior to the effortless and captivating execution of Shinichi's true form.

Otherwise, if Shinichi's main body had used Dark Strike to completely block Yecang's first Scorching Release attack, it wouldn't have been completely neutralized like it was with Hyuga Hizashi's Eight Trigrams Empty Palm, as Hyuga Isshin's clone did.
