"What happened?"

Seeing this, Might Guy couldn't help but be curious, but he only hesitated for a moment before continuing to walk against the flow of people towards the Hyuga clan's territory.

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Konoha remained peaceful and tranquil, and the people were completely unaware of the conflict on the border of the Land of Fire.

It wasn't until the Konoha leadership announced that the Cloud Village was coming to Konoha to forge an alliance that the people were suddenly shocked, and then overjoyed, surprised that their Third Hokage had secretly done such a big thing.

To put it nicely, it's an "alliance agreement," but isn't it really just about clinging to someone's coattails?

The people of Konoha felt proud that their former enemy from the Ninja World War had yielded.

However, Might Guy, a lowly Chunin with no background, naturally had no idea what was happening at the border. He was so engrossed in training that he was unaware that the Hidden Cloud Village was coming to Konoha to forge an alliance agreement.

All he knew was that his training partner, Hinata Kumokawa, had completely disappeared from his life over the past two months.

Every time he went to the Hyuga clan to look for Hyuga Kumokawa, he would be stopped by the branch family members with complicated expressions. They would politely and even courteously tell him that Hyuga Kumokawa was in seclusion and asked him to come back in two months.

Retreating into seclusion for spiritual practice?

How can one practice physical techniques by staying indoors?

Might Guy knew very well that Hinata Kumokawa's efforts and self-discipline were no less than his own, so his first reaction upon hearing this was that this guy was lying to him.

However, the complex expression on the Hyuga branch family member's face didn't seem to be a pretense, which made Might Guy wonder if something had happened within the Hyuga clan.

Now, two months have passed since that day.

"Yun Chuan should be open to customers today, right?"

Because Kakashi was busy with the Anbu every day, and Hyuga Kumokawa, his only training partner, was not around, Might Guy had been training alone for the past two months and was feeling really stifled.

With the agreed time approaching, they naturally couldn't wait to search for it.

When Might Guy arrived at the Hyuga clan's territory, the person on duty that day turned out to be the same branch family member who had been taught a lesson by Hyuga Kumokawa.

This time, the other party not only did not stop him, but also did not give him a cold look. Instead, they politely let him in.

Their attitude has changed! Their attitude has indeed changed!

Yun Chuan must have secretly done something big!

"Yun-Chuan-!"

Might Guy excitedly ran towards Hyuga Kumokawa's residence, shouting, "Don't pretend you can't hear me, you bastard! Let me see what you've improved in the last two months. Today I'll make you shout, 'As expected of Guy-senpai!'"

Previously, Hinata Kumokawa's mansion was always protected by a barrier, but now the barrier is gone.

In his excitement, Matt Kai didn't even bother with etiquette. Seeing that the door was open, he understood and went inside.

But the moment I entered the house, it felt as if I had passed through a thin film, and I suddenly felt the hairs on my body stand on end.

It wasn't because he sensed any inexplicable killing intent, but because there seemed to be an invisible electrical charge in the air, which caused the hair and body hair on his body to stand up slightly.

"This is……"

Feeling a faint tingling sensation on the surface of his body, Might Guy was taken aback. He frowned and tiptoed toward Yun Chuan's training room, the sensation growing stronger as he got closer.

Until the door was pushed open, what came into view was a slightly blurred atmosphere.

Squeak!

All the electrical equipment in the room had been removed. Hyuga Yunchuan, sitting cross-legged in the center of the room, was naked with his angular upper body exposed. Tiny blue arcs of electricity flickered on his body and around him, like countless small blue snakes stretching their slender bodies and wandering in the air.

Seemingly hearing the sound of Might Guy entering the room, Hinata Kumokawa, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened them, a blue light flashing briefly from his pure white eyes.

Under Matt Kai's astonished gaze, the arcs of electricity surrounding him began to recede, like a swarm of tamed snakes gradually disappearing into his body.

"Senior Kai, are we going to training?" Hinata Kumokawa asked.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Might Guy snapped out of his daze and stared blankly at Hinata Kumokawa's body, where the power hidden within was almost visible to the naked eye.

"Yun Chuan, you're actually using Lightning Release chakra to temper your body?" An incredulous look gradually appeared on his face, and he blurted out subconsciously, "Are you crazy?"

The ability of Lightning Release chakra to temper the body is no secret in the ninja world, since the Hidden Cloud Village is the most skilled at it.

The Third Raikage was known as the "Strongest Shield" and the "Strongest Spear," while the Fourth Raikage was renowned as the "Blue Lightning" for his speed.

However, not just anyone can temper their body with Lightning Release chakra. Mastering the nature and form transformations of Lightning Release chakra is already difficult enough for many people, and a complete understanding of the complex meridian system within one's own body is even more necessary.

Why are most Lightning Release ninjutsu ranged attacks?

Why are there so few Lightning Release ninjutsu suitable for Chunin and Genin to train in?

This is because Lightning Release chakra is not as stable as Earth Release chakra; in fact, it can be said to be the most unstable of the five chakra natures.

To use ninjutsu, one must circulate chakra within the body's meridian system. Lightning Release chakra, with its violent nature, is extremely difficult to control, and any mistake during this process can severely injure one's body...

Thinking of this, Might Guy was startled again, suddenly realizing that Hyuga Kumokawa, who has the Byakugan and can see the meridian system in the body, seems to be the best candidate to temper his body in this way.

"This……"

For a moment, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, and fell into a brief silence.

It's easy to imagine that Hyuga Kumokawa, who has tempered his physique with Lightning Release chakra, will make rapid progress in his Eight Gates training.

This kind of training method was completely beyond the reach of someone like him who had almost no talent for ninjutsu.

However, this feeling of frustration only lasted for a moment before being replaced by a boiling, passionate fighting spirit.

Might Guy's gaze towards Hinata Kumokawa changed repeatedly, eventually returning to the same look he usually gave Kakashi.

"Yun Chuan." His eyes burned with excitement as he gave a thumbs-up, grinning to reveal gleaming white teeth, and said earnestly, "Congratulations."

His words contained no jealousy or bitterness, only genuine joy for his friends and himself.

I am happy for Hinata Kumokawa's progress, and also happy that I have gained another rival.

Yes.

At this moment, in his heart, Hinata Kumokawa was no longer a fellow human being who needed to band together for warmth, nor was he a junior whom he pitied, admired, and needed to mentor.

Rather, they are like Kakashi, truly respected rivals and close friends.

Chapter 19 The day has finally come.

Click.

Push open the door that has been closed for a long time.

The slightly hazy sunlight felt warm and ticklish on his cheeks, and Hinata Kumokawa, who hadn't left the house in a long time, squinted his eyes.

Yesterday there was a light rain, and today Konoha has beautiful weather.

The water on the ground reflected the blue sky, as if a blue sky and white clouds were drawn on a white sheet of paper.

The gloom of these days spent in seclusion at home has been washed away by the rain and flowed into the ditch.

"Looks like today will be a good day," Hinata Kumokawa murmured to himself.

Amidst Might Guy's frantic shouts of fighting spirit, Hinata Kumokawa walked out of the mansion side by side with him and opened the control panel.

"It's finally done."

Looking at the new ninjutsu in the [Ninjutsu] section, and the bloodline limit that had reached the second stage, a smile appeared on Hyuga Kumokawa's face.

This body, possessing the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, trained in ninjutsu at a speed far exceeding expectations.

In just two months, he not only mastered the Lightning Release Armor, but also developed the Lightning Release: Chidori based on it.

Lightning Release Armor, a B-rank ninjutsu, also known as Lightning Release Chakra Mode, concentrates Lightning Release chakra throughout the body, covering the entire body with Lightning Release chakra. This activates the body and allows the use of Lightning Body Flicker, while also increasing defensive capabilities and nerve conduction speed.

He honed his body and ninjutsu to the extreme, his speed even comparable to Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique. He could instantly dodge Sasuke Uchiha's Amaterasu, his speed as fast as blue lightning.

As for Lightning Release: Chidori, it is a derivative ninjutsu of Lightning Release: Lightning Blade. The two are not the same technique, and their training difficulty is completely different. The former is only A-rank, while the latter is S-rank. The difference lies in the degree of chakra transformation.

Both "Chakra Form Transformation" and "Chakra Nature Transformation" are methods for using and enhancing ninjutsu.

Simply put, the former is "shaping form," turning formless chakra into blades, needles, and the like, which allows control over the power and range of a technique; the latter is "adding attributes," turning non-attribute chakra into wind, fire, water, earth, and lightning.

In terms of effectiveness, Chidori prioritizes functionality over power compared to Raikiri. Raikiri possesses greater piercing and cutting power through "form transformation," while Chidori's main attack method relies on the various forms of Lightning Release chakra to inflict damage.

For example, there are the "Chidori Sharp Spear" and "Chidori Blade" which transform lightning release chakra into the shape of a spear and a sword, and the "Chidori Blade" which greatly increases the sharpness of a weapon by injecting lightning release chakra into it.

Hinata Kumokawa also had the idea to try to develop "Lightning Release: Chidori" after mastering "Lightning Release Armor". After all, Uchiha Sasuke only took a few days to master "Lightning Release: Chidori" in the original work.

If Nisuke can do it, there's no reason why he can't.

However, two months is far from enough to go further and use "Lightning Release: Lightning Blade," as it is the ultimate form of Lightning Release chakra transformation.

There's also Kakashi's "Purple Lightning" developed after losing his Sharingan, which seems to be more like the ultimate nature transformation of Lightning Release chakra.

"Even so, this training speed is really outrageous," Hinata Kumokawa couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

No wonder even the naturally optimistic Matt Kay was momentarily bewildered when he saw that scene...

Naruto, also known as "The Legend of the Eyes in the Five Villages' Clash", "The Temptation of Returning to the Village", "My Village Chief Grandfather, Father, and Teacher", and "Black Zetsu Saves His Mother".

This world, which tells the story of the Otsutsuki family, is indeed a place where bloodline is absolutely paramount.

"With this, I have the most basic ability to protect myself, and I can now act freely and enter a new planning phase."

"Although the abilities and items manifested by the system are based on the existing power system of this world, in essence, the power system of the 'Bleach' world is also just 'soul'."

"Let me see how many points I can rake in by creating a new creature and its branching system from scratch, and weaving a perfectly logical backstory for it, so that others will believe this lie..."

As he pondered this, Hyuga Kumokawa looked at Might Guy, who was burning with passion on his own, and it was as if he could see a raging fire burning behind him.

"Senior Kai..."

"Yun Chuan!"

Before Hyuga Kumokawa could finish speaking, Might Guy suddenly turned around, grinned, and said, "From now on, just call me Guy. Don't call me Senpai anymore."

Hinata Kumokawa paused for a moment and subconsciously wanted to refuse, since it would not be conducive to cultivating a humble image.

But seeing the serious look on Might Guy's face, and the subtle change in his gaze when he looked at him, Hinata Kumokawa couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.

Sure enough, it's true what they say, nature is the best counter to cunning.

Hinata Kumokawa sighed inwardly, but finally met Might Guy's gaze and smiled, saying, "Guy."

Upon hearing this, Matt Kai's smile deepened.

"Kai," Hinata Kumokawa continued, "what happened in the village? I saw those people heading towards the village entrance."

"I don't know." Matt Kai shook his head in confusion, but then laughed, "Why don't we go and see for ourselves? Let's see who gets to the village entrance first!"

Hinata Kumokawa didn't refuse out of disappointment. Seeing that Kumokawa had run off before he could even answer, he just smiled and followed.

However, he actually knew very well what these villagers were going there to do.

Welcome to the delegation from Kumogakure who have come to Konoha to forge an alliance agreement.

Although he has been cultivating in seclusion these days, it doesn't mean that his intelligence channels have been cut off.

Hinata Kumokawa knew the importance of intelligence, so he naturally prepared some backup plans early on.

He knew that the greatest contributor to the alliance agreement that Kumogakure was able to come to Konoha was not Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was stationed in Konoha, but Danzo Shimura, who was sent out.

Despite his seemingly inept exterior fighting but expert interior warfare, Danzo Shimura was actually quite active in both the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars. Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the title of "Darkness of the Shinobi" throughout the entire shinobi world.

It was under his coercion and enticement that Hanzo of Amegakure in the Land of Rain broke with the first Akatsuki organization founded by Yahiko and the others; otherwise, Hanzo had indeed previously shown a tendency to ally with the Akatsuki.
