Chapter 18: Kakashi: Did You Comprehend on the Spot? Lightning Technique: Thunder Waterfall!
[Lightning Palm: Condenses powerful lightning-style chakra in the palm, possessing a strong piercing ability. Upon impact, it can trigger a lightning explosion!]
"Not a bad technique!" Ishihara was pleasantly surprised after receiving the information in his mind. He had a fondness for lightning techniques, which is why he began his ninjutsu studies with lightning-style techniques and focused on researching them the most. He had even attempted Thunder Palm before, but it had failed. There were many other lightning-style secret techniques he had been exploring. Today seemed to be a day of harvest!
Ishihara began to recall the experiments he had previously conducted and the lightning-style techniques he had mastered. Simultaneously, he activated Thunder Palm to begin a live analysis. Inspiration had struck, and he didn't want to miss it!
"Perhaps this will become one of my signature techniques."
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The sound of flowing electricity resonated. Kakashi and Itachi were stunned as they watched Ishihara, who had a mass of lightning-style chakra appearing in his palm, resembling Chidori!
"Is this Chidori?! How can Ishihara perform it?! What's going on?!" Kakashi shivered violently, his mind blank. Chidori was a technique he developed himself, and besides the Fourth Hokage, he hadn't taught it to anyone. This meant that only he knew it in the world! Ishihara couldn't have learned it before, but now he had performed it. This meant...
"He just learned it? But I only demonstrated it once!" "How...how is this possible?!!!"
Kakashi was horrified, realizing how terrifying Ishihara's comprehension and talent were. "No wonder he could develop so many S-rank secret techniques at the age of six! If that's the case, isn't it only natural?! This monster!!!!"
Although Itachi didn't know what was on Kakashi's mind, he could see it in his expression, and his pupils contracted suddenly. "Did he completely master Chidori just by seeing it once, and even make it more formidable?!" Itachi took a deep breath. Although it seemed unbelievable, he wouldn't limit his perception. He vividly remembered that when he learned the Great Fireball Technique and many low-level ninjutsu, he could master them thoroughly just by watching others perform them once. This was somewhat astonishing, even to his father, Uchiha Fugaku. But those were low-level ninjutsu, implying a low difficulty level! Chidori, on the other hand, was an S-rank technique. Even kage-level would spend a lot of time mastering it. But this boy? Not only did he learn it at a glance, but he also improved upon it! This completely upended his past knowledge.
While the two were lost in thought, Ishihara's analysis of the lightning technique progressed further.
Boom!!!
A sudden explosion startled Kakashi and Itachi. They were shocked to see the lightning in Ishihara's hand growing larger and more terrifying. Even watching it made their hearts race. Not to mention the terrifying amount of chakra contained within the lightning ball, which sent shivers down their spines.
"In such a short time, he has already increased the power of a newly developed secret technique?!" "No, we can't give him any more time!" "This monster can't be measured by common sense; who knows if he'll evolve the technique again in the next second!"
Kakashi's thoughts raced, and he shouted angrily, "Stop it! Don't perform any more ninjutsu, or I'll kill Jūgo!" But Ishihara remained unmoved, calmly saying, "If you kill him, you will all die, and every Konoha ninja I encounter in the future will die too!"
Kakashi screamed desperately, "I'm going to die anyway, why would I care about others, stop it now!!!"
"You don't dare. You won't plunge the entire Konoha into crisis because of me!" Ishihara calmly stated, and the lightning in his hand disappeared. He looked at Kakashi with interest and asked, "It seems you know quite a bit about me. Are you desperately trying to stop me because you're afraid I'll develop a new secret technique?"
Kakashi pressed his lips tightly, not speaking. Itachi's face changed, sensing an ominous premonition. Sure enough, the next moment...
"What if I've already finished?" Ishihara said with a slight smile, making Kakashi and Itachi's faces turn pale with horror.
"That's impossible!!!" "Even if you are a genius, you can't develop a new technique so quickly!" Kakashi shouted in disbelief. Chidori was his only independently developed technique, and it was only perfected with the help of Obito's Sharingan. It was his pride! Ishihara learning Chidori had already pushed him to the edge. Now, Ishihara claimed to have developed a stronger technique based on Chidori. How could that be possible?!
Ishihara nodded with a smile. Kakashi and Itachi just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, Ishihara's words sent them into an icy abyss.
"If you don't believe me, why not experience it for yourselves." "New technique, Thunder Waterfall!"
Kakashi and Itachi's faces turned ashen, shocked at Ishihara. He slightly raised his hands, palms facing them, with two points of light glowing in the centers.
Bad!!! We're doomed!!!
In an instant, they felt an overwhelming sense of terror. Their hair stood on end, and their scalps tingled.
Boom!!!!
In their disbelieving eyes, two waterfalls of lightning appeared from the glowing points in Ishihara's palms. Like the Milky Way falling from the sky! The lightning waterfalls descended with terrifying speed and power, falling, falling, and falling!!
Ishihara's palms were the sky! They were the ground!
Rumble!
The entire base corridor was filled with terrifying lightning. Two long lightning waterfalls erupted from the depths of the base. Like lasers, they penetrated the entire corridor from the base's depths, finally blasting through the base's gate. The terrifying lightning shot skyward, straight into the heavens!
