I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 213 Yang Release Chakra Mode?!

『S-rank technique [Heavenly Delivery Technique], S-rank technique [Storm Release: Storm Demon Dragon]』

Once the information on the panel stopped refreshing, Nara Raikage focused his attention on the only two S-rank techniques he possessed.

[S-Rank Technique: Heavenly Gift Technique]

[Technique Description: The pinnacle of Kumogakure's scientific and technological achievements! Utilizing the powerful propulsion of lightning to send items anywhere!]

[Spell Effect: Place the substance at the corresponding lightning energy output port, and use the spell to guide the release of lightning energy, thereby causing the substance to be instantly transported to a distant place at a speed comparable to the speed of light.]

[Surgery Evaluation: Open the door! Delivery!]

"Huh? It's not a space-time ninjutsu, but simply... a speed-shifting technique?"

Nara Raikage was amazed by the effects of the [Heavenly Gift Technique].

He recalled the contents recorded on the scroll of the [Heavenly Sending Technique] and noticed that the [Heavenly Sending Technique] was basically performed on a very peculiarly shaped instrument.

"Okay, I thought it was some kind of mystical art, but it turns out it's technology, and even some kind of cutting-edge technology..."

Nara Raikage sighed slightly.

"For an individual, the [Heavenly Delivery Technique] is far less valuable than the [Flying Thunder God Technique]; however, from the perspective of a certain faction, the [Heavenly Delivery Technique] and the [Flying Thunder God Technique] are arguably equally valuable!"

Of course, this only refers to the original version of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

If it's the improved version of Minato Namikaze's [Flying Thunder God Technique] that can even transfer Tailed Beast Balls.

The [Heavenly Transfer Technique] can't even catch up to the Flying Thunder God's shadow...

"Considering only the basic technology of the ninja world, such as electrical technology, the Hidden Cloud Village's level in this area is quite impressive."

Nara Raikage looked up at another S-rank technique, [Storm Release: Storm Demon Dragon].

"It's just that this level of ninjutsu isn't very good..."

【Storm Release: Storm Demon Dragon】

An S-rank forbidden technique comparable to the [Qilin].

Both methods involve creating cumulonimbus clouds in advance to guide lightning to strike downwards from the sky.

the difference is.

The Qilin consumes primarily natural energy, with minimal impact on its own energy expenditure.

As for [Storm Release: Storm Demon Dragon], in order to use this ninjutsu, all the cumulonimbus clouds are created using one's own Storm Release chakra, and the shape transformation is also the common "dragon form".

As for the origin of those cumulonimbus clouds...

Nara Raikage scrolled down and found the corresponding Storm Release technique among the A-rank techniques.

[Rank A Bloodline Limit Technique: Storm Release: Lightning Cloud Wave]

They first created Storm Release chakra, which then generated a thick, dark cumulonimbus cloud.

This cumulonimbus cloud can be used to protect the body, serving as a barrier against storms; it can also be used to launch laser attacks at enemies at an extremely fast speed.

"A ninjutsu that creates dark clouds... What a pity, why is it Storm Release?"

Nara Raikage did notice the A-rank miscellaneous item, the "Storm Release Chakra Creation Method."

Unfortunately, Gale Release is a fusion of Water Release and Lightning Release, and his own chakra nature does not include Lightning Release.

This [Storm Release Chakra Creation Method] is utterly useless to Nara Raikage; it can only be used to accumulate knowledge and experience.

"My main body can't use [Storm Release], but in my current situation, I can play around with it... but my chakra is limited, so I can't waste it."

The Hidden Cloud Village has a considerable collection of Storm Release ninjutsu.

From the S-rank [Storm Release: Storm Demon Dragon], to the A-rank [Storm Release: Thundercloud Cavity Wave] and [Storm Release: Lightning Fang], and then to the B-rank [Storm Release: Resilience Lock], it's quite complete.

In comparison.

The other technique, [Lava Release Chakra Creation Method], is completely different.

This is different from the "Lava Release" of the Nara Raikage's main body, which creates magma.

It's highly likely that the Cloud Village's [Lava Release Chakra Creation Method] was stolen from the Iwagakure Village.

This is a point that few people pay attention to.

Besides the Explosion Release troops, the Lava Release troops in Iwagakure are also quite large.

However, compared to the Explosion Release Squad, the Lava Release Squad is much less well-known.

The Lava Release technique used by the Iwagakure village's Lava Release unit is not the "magma" used by the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, but rather "lime".

As for the Cloud Village's "Lava Release Chakra Manufacturing Method," it not only includes a version using "lime," but also adds a version using "rubber."

"The same bloodline limit manifests in three different forms: magma, ash, and rubber."

Nara Raikage recalled the Lava Release technique he himself had mastered.

What's even more special is that their Fire Release and Earth Release chakra ratios are exactly the same...

When the ratio of chakra with two different properties is consistent.

There are some differences between the Lava Release techniques of Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

Nara Raikage could only think of one possibility.

From the very beginning of chakra nature transformation, Kumogakure and Iwagakure used a variety of different ninjutsu.

Take Earth Release ninjutsu as an example.

Even the same Earth Release technique has two different forms: [Earth Release: Earth Mound Dumpling] and [Earth Release: Earth Flowing River], and there is also [Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique].

To be precise.

From the very beginning of their transformation, Kumogakure and Iwagakure embarked on different paths.

This is the fundamental reason why the [Molten Release] techniques of the two villages exhibit different properties!

This discovery was of great help to the Raikage Nara.

Because he was also conducting an experiment on bloodline limit fusion.

The fusion of Yin Release and Earth Release has reached a near-perfect state, but the most precise fusion ratio has yet to be found.

Now it seems he has found the real solution to this problem...

"Leave the bloodline limit fusion experiment to me!"

Nara Raikage continued to examine the collection of ninjutsu from Kumogakure.

[Rank A Technique: Lightning Release: Black Lightning]

This is a special lightning release technique developed by the real Third Raikage, which releases black lightning.

Nara Raikage initially thought that this "black lightning" was the result of adding some other chakra nature transformation, but he discovered that it was not added to any other chakra nature transformation, but rather a relatively simple non-attribute cursed seal technique.

The ability of [Lightning Release: Black Lightning] is to maintain the offensive power of Lightning Release while giving Lightning Release ninjutsu a powerful binding effect.

"In a sense, [Black Lightning] is actually a good ninjutsu. It's a lightning release ninjutsu that combines electric shock, paralysis, and binding, which is quite suitable for these musclemen from Kumogakure..."

Nara Raikage silently shook his head in his heart.

[Lightning Release: Black Lightning] is a pretty good ninjutsu.

Unfortunately, that's all he saw.

A fusion of Cursed Seal and Lightning Release?

How can this compare to the fusion of sealing techniques and Wood Release?

Moreover, the Raikage Nara has already embarked on the path of merging Yin Release and Sealing Techniques!

Compared to this A-rank technique, [Lightning Release: Black Lightning].

Another famous B-rank technique is what the Raikage Nara is truly interested in.

[Rank B Technique: Lightning Release Chakra Mode]

[Technique Description: Lightning Release armor that wraps lightning around the body, bringing the flesh to life!]

[Technique Effect: Utilizing the Lightning Release chakra flowing throughout the body, this technique activates the body's cells and slowly increases the speed of nerve conduction. The lightning covering the body also becomes a strong armor to resist external techniques.]

[Skill Evaluation: The most basic version of a Saiyan among beggars!]

Looking at all the ninjutsu of Kumogakure, the most crucial element has never been the "Heavenly Delivery Technique" or the "Black Lightning," but simply this B-rank "Lightning Release Chakra Mode"!

It is precisely because of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode that the successive Raikage have been able to establish such a formidable reputation in war!

It is precisely because of the [Lightning Release Chakra Mode] that the various taijutsu techniques of the Hidden Cloud Village have been greatly enhanced!

To put it somewhat dramatically...

The combat system of the top ninjas in Kumogakure is basically based on the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

The effects of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode technique are simple and straightforward.

Under normal circumstances, a ninja without the nature of Lightning Release Chakra cannot use [Lightning Release Chakra Mode].

Even the Raikage Nara himself couldn't have done that.

but……

Why did Nara Raikage happen to possess another A-rank technique that also affects the human nervous system?

[Charge randomly]!

"The Cloud Village's [Lightning Release Chakra Mode] uses lightning release chakra to enhance the user's nerve reflexes and activate their cells."

A glint of light flashed in Nara Raikage's eyes.

"While Tsunade's [Chaos Rush] doesn't possess the ability to enhance nerve speed, it is a very special Yang Release ninjutsu that can convert Yang Release chakra into electrons!"

"I may not be able to master the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but who says I can't use the [Chaos Strike] and [Lightning Release Chakra Mode] as a foundation to develop a completely new chakra mode?"

For example... Yang Release Chakra Mode?

Nara Raikage was in an extremely pleasant mood.

After a series of ninjutsu techniques, comes the true signature of Kumogakure – taijutsu.

A more accurate term would be "Lightning Release Ninja Taijutsu".

Various chokehold techniques (Thunderbolt Blade), grappling techniques (Thunderbolt Bomb), heavy kicks (Righteous Thunder Fury Thunder Axe), elbow strikes (Heavy Flow Storm), boxing techniques (Thunderbolt Fighting Ninja Encounter Susume Riri Blade), hand chop techniques (Thunderbolt Strike Level), and so on...

The sheer brutality of each ninjutsu made Nara Raikage's eyelids twitch slightly.

The posture has been confirmed.

It's not his type.

Compared to these muscular techniques that are full of philosophical flair.

The Raikage of Nara was more concerned with the "Cloud Flow Sword Technique" of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Rank A physical technique [Cloud Flow - Lightning Slash]...

Rank A physical technique [Cloud Flow - Crescent Moon Slash]...

B-rank physical technique [Cloud Flow - Flame Slash]...

Nara Raikage is primarily a ninjutsu-type ninja, but occasionally he also wants to try his hand at swordsmanship.

Ordinary swordsmanship is beneath Nara Raikage's notice, while acquiring advanced swordsmanship is extremely difficult.

I hadn't had the opportunity to look for sword techniques before.

The Cloud Flow Sword Technique of the Hidden Cloud Village perfectly makes up for this deficiency.

However, after Nara Raikage finished browsing through the information on various treasures, ninjutsu, and taijutsu of Kumogakure...

He did confirm one thing.

From the perspective of the true Third Raikage, most of the ninjutsu here would be ineffective against the "Black Shadow".

The only effective ones are probably the two S-rank techniques: [Heavenly Gift Technique] and [Storm Release: Storm Demon Dragon].

The rest is the [Amber Vase]...

"As expected... let's just make peace with Konoha!"

The other ninjas in Kumogakure were completely unprepared.

The Third Raikage, the leader of Kumogakure, has made the strategic decision to cease hostilities.
