Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 41 Lightning Flash

The Uzumaki clan has indeed made great strides in their study of the soul, because in ancient times, the world was filled with many demons and monsters.

Among them, the mysterious and unpredictable ghosts are extremely difficult to deal with and very hard to eliminate.

Later, people discovered that they could seal these ghosts with sealing techniques and then let time wear them down.

The art of sealing the soul was thus developed.

The Uzumaki clan's research on souls developed during that period, and their greatest masterpiece was the Reaper Death Seal, an S-rank soul sealing technique that could even take away the Nine-Tails sealed inside the Shinigami's belly.

As the princess of the Uzumaki clan and the strongest sealing ninja of her time, Mito Uzumaki naturally inherited the legacy of the Uzumaki clan and has a deep understanding of souls and even the Pure Land.

Therefore, she understood very well that the soul undergoing its first out-of-body experience was extremely fragile.

Let alone moving it, even a gust of wind could cause it to collapse.

And the soul of Kirito before her was so special. She never expected his soul to be so powerful and so solid. It could move as soon as it left her body. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she probably wouldn't have believed that all of this was real.

After moving around the room for a short while, Kirito felt a little tired and had a stinging sensation.

He realized something was wrong, and then, to the astonishment of Mito and Kushina, he smoothly returned to his own body.

A dozen seconds later, Kirito opened his eyes again and immediately felt as if his body had been hollowed out and he was extremely tired. He wished he could lie down on the ground and get a good night's sleep.

He tried to stand up and stretch his body, but almost fell. Luckily, Kushina was quick to catch him and pulled him back, preventing him from falling to the ground.

"Thank you, Kushina."

Kirito expressed his gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Kushina blushed slightly and quickly released her grip on Kirito's shoulder.

As soon as she let go, Kirito fell onto her kneeling legs.

"ah!!!"

Kushina screamed and pushed Kirito away forcefully.

Although Kushina looks small and thin, she is surprisingly strong. Kirito was sent flying, his head slamming into the wall and embedding itself inside.

"Are you... are you alright?"

As soon as Kushina pushed Kirito away, she realized she had done something wrong and said somewhat fearfully.

Kirito was in decent physical condition. He struggled to stick his head out of the wall, blood trickling from his forehead, and looked at Kushina, smiling as he said, "I'm alright."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his eyes rolled back, he fainted, collapsed to the ground, and fell fast asleep.

Kushina thought Kirito was dead. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, her whole body trembled, and she looked pitifully at Mito.

Seeing this, Mito couldn't help but chuckle mischievously. When she saw that Kushina was almost crying, she comforted her, "Don't worry, this kid is tough, he won't die. But remember to apologize when he wakes up. Now go and take him to the guest room to rest."

Kushina immediately nodded obediently, then picked up Kirito and quickly left the room.

After Kushina left, Mito quickly suppressed her smile and said, "Momoka."

"Lord Mito, please give your orders."

Momoka Senju instantly knelt down on one knee and appeared before Mito, speaking respectfully.

"Go and call that old bastard Third Hokage to bring me the Spirit Transformation Technique. Also, tell him and that brat Danzo to keep an eye on things. If anything happens to Kirito, I'll make them pay."

Mito said with a cold face.

"ha."

Tao Hua accepted the order and used her Instantaneous Movement Technique to disappear from the room.

"That idiot Tobirama, how could he have handed the village over to that moron Hiruzen? And that brat Danzo, he's getting more and more outrageous in his pursuit of his goals. He's even turned the Will of Fire into dog food. We really shouldn't have made that guy an advisor in the first place..."

After Momoka left, Mito's face showed displeasure, and he said with a mixture of annoyance and worry.

She had, of course, learned from Momoka that the Third Hokage and Danzo were planning to use Kirito to lure out the spy hidden in the village.

When she found out, she was so angry that she almost caused a serious leak of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Two years ago, if the Third Hokage and Danzo had dared to do this, she would have immediately taught those two idiots a lesson.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have much time left. She's already struggling to suppress the Nine-Tails within her. If she were to force her way out, she probably wouldn't live to see Tsunade return from the battlefield.

Left with no other option, she had to issue a warning.

"Hashirama, I understand the village you left behind less and less. I hope the new shoots of Konoha will continue to grow strong and then everything will return to normal."

Mito closed her eyes, a deep weariness on her face, and sighed.

. . .

That evening, in the training grounds of Chizuru's backyard in the Uchiha clan compound.

At this moment, Chizuru was undergoing her daily combat training. Her opponents today were three elite Chunin from the Uchiha clan.

Chizuru's attire was no different from that during the day, except that she now carried a slender longsword.

Under the lamplight, the longsword gleamed coldly, giving off an aura of invincible sharpness.

This sword is called Lightning Strike, a famous sword made of chakra metal mixed with a special lightning attribute metal. It not only has excellent chakra conductivity, but also, as its name suggests, will automatically generate lightning once chakra is injected into it.

Under the watchful gaze of Uchiha Homura, the battle began.

Chizuru opened her eyes, activated her Sharingan, and instantly her limbs were covered with lightning-style chakra.

As he drew his sword, a sharp, hissing thunder suddenly erupted.

The next moment, more than a dozen Chizuru in different forms suddenly appeared on the training ground where lightning flashed.

As the lightning subsided, the three elite Chunin almost simultaneously let out a scream, swords piercing their chests, spurting out scalding blood, and kneeling on the ground in astonishment.

"Click~"

Chizuru appeared behind the three of them and sheathed her sword.

In the blink of an eye, he easily defeated three elite Chunin.

If this were a life-or-death duel, she would have already killed the three elite Chunin.

"Not bad, you've completely mastered the Thunderclap Secret Technique. However, try not to use that move again in the future; save it as a trump card for decisive victories. Was that move famous?"

Uchiha Homura watched as Chizuru instantly killed three elite Chunin of her clan, and nodded with satisfaction, praising her.

Defeating three elite Chunin at the same time is not actually that difficult; any Konoha Jonin who has undergone rigorous testing can do it.

Even the elite Chunin of the Uchiha clan are no exception.

However, for an eight-year-old girl to be able to do this is nothing short of terrifying.

Now, his granddaughter, on whom he had placed high hopes, has achieved this.

"Lightning Flash".

Chizuru uttered two words expressionlessly.

After saying that, she turned and walked into the house without glancing at the three elite Chunin on the ground again.

It's tough for a new author to get ahead, so I hope all my fellow readers will visit often to increase the readership. After you finish reading, I hope you'll vote for this book and invest in it. If you could give me some monthly tickets and rewards, I would be extremely grateful. It's so hard for a new author and a new book.
