From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 428 Word Power + Ninjutsu = Ultimate Modification!

Under the 'careful' guidance of Uchiha Munetsuki, Sasuke, after experiencing countless hardships, finally completed his initial physical training before the Chunin Exams.

Despite its seemingly complex description, the modified version of 'Instant Hurricane' is actually quite simple in essence.

By channeling lightning-attribute chakra into the body's meridians, the body's cells, bones, organs, and other systems are continuously stimulated and damaged. This process begins small and gradually expands until the body adapts to the electrical stimulation, thereby promoting the comprehensive evolution of bones, tendons, muscles, and organs.

In a sense, Sasuke's "Instant Hokage" is a lightning chakra mode secretly learned in Kumogakure, which he then modified.

As for where the Lightning Release Chakra Mode came from?

That story begins a long time ago, when He stormed into Kumogakure and, right in front of the Third Raikage, snatched the secret scroll.

Uchiha Muneki shook his head, dispelling that thought, and returned his gaze to the 'protagonist'.

The early training process of 'Instantaneous Harassment' was truly inhumane. After all, the pain caused by the high-intensity electric current stimulating the meridians of the whole body was no less than that of torture. Even when he was unconscious and convulsed by the electric current, Sasuke always gritted his teeth and never asked to stop.

Such unwavering perseverance earned Uchiha Munetsuki's high regard.

"Alright, Sasuke." He looked at Sasuke, who was lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing as if in spasms, and said softly, "Let's end today's training here for now."

However, Sasuke gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and stubbornly shook his head: "No, Mr. Uesugi, I can hold on a little longer, please continue!"

She didn't want to give up so easily; it was an opportunity she had worked so hard to get!
Because Sasuke clearly understood the vast gap between herself and Itachi Uchiha, she couldn't afford to give up so easily!

"Please, could you do it again?"

Sasuke wiped the foam from his mouth and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Don't worry, I know my body very well."

"Why bother? This isn't the only chance you'll get."

Uchiha Muneki sighed, looking at 'Sasuke' with complicated emotions. This child's obsession was too strong.

"No!"

Sasuke suddenly raised his voice and clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

The girl lowered her eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "I don't know if this is the last chance, but I do know that if I miss this opportunity today, I may never have such a good opportunity again. Opportunities don't always come; they only appear once in a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand attempts!"

Uchiha Muneki smiled, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

It seems that her repeated setbacks were not without their benefits; at least they made her understand the meaning of how rare opportunities are.

"I had my reasons for calling a halt."

He looked at Sasuke and spoke calmly. Before the latter could object, he raised his hand to stop him and said, "Tomorrow is the prelude to the Chunin Exams. You probably don't want to be covered in injuries and then be eliminated in the first round, right?"

To everyone's surprise, Sasuke went even further, saying directly, "I can skip the Chunin Exams."

In any case, participating in the Chunin Exams is just about getting a Chunin title, which doesn't help with your strength at all. So it's better to just give up and train steadily instead.

"There's no need for that. We still need to participate in the Chunin Exams."

Uchiha Munetsuki was speechless, then shook his head with a smile, teasingly saying, "Besides, quite a few people came for this Chunin Exam because of you, the last of the Uchiha bloodline. If you give up halfway through, those nobles will tear me apart, won't they?"

Sasuke blushed slightly, lowered his head, and looked like he had made a mistake: "I'm sorry, Mr. Uesugi, I didn't consider that reason."

"It's alright. Besides, tomorrow is the selection, and there's still some time before the main competition."

Uchiha Muneki comforted her, saying, "I won't leave so soon. The reason for stopping is partly to give you time to rest and recover, but there's another reason as well."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke knelt upright, straightened his back, and listened attentively to what was to come.

"Although your physical body has been strengthened considerably in the past two days by practicing the initial mode of 'Instantaneous Roar,' you still lack a certain 'ultimate technique,'" Uchiha Munetsuki said calmly.

Sasuke's eyes lit up, and his breathing became rapid as a bold idea popped into his mind.

Could it be that Mr. Uesugi is finally going to teach me 'ninjutsu'?!
"Yes, just as you thought."

The girl's reaction naturally did not escape Uchiha Muneki's notice. He smiled and said, "You are very well-rounded, but you lack one thing: 'ninjutsu' that can decide the outcome of a battle. If you encounter someone weaker than you, you may be able to win by relying on your all-around advantage, but if you encounter a ninja of equal or greater strength, it will not work."

Sasuke listened and nodded. She had discovered this problem during her reflection after the battle with Gaara.

The biggest deficiency she currently lacks is the overwhelming power to seal the victory.

As he spoke, Uchiha Muneki took out a scroll from his robes and said, "The ninjutsu is called Chidori. It requires both chakra nature transformation and form transformation. You are already very familiar with nature transformation. Next is form transformation. With the foundation of 'Instant Hokage', it shouldn't be too difficult."

This is not boasting, but the truth.

The prerequisites for 'Instant Harshness' are extremely demanding, requiring the manipulation of lightning-attribute chakra to subtly stimulate the meridians and acupoints within the body.

Although Sasuke cannot yet achieve this level of control, his control over chakra during prolonged electric shocks has reached the level of Sakura's Hundred Healings technique in the original work.

A mere thousand birds, isn't that a piece of cake?

Sasuke took the scroll, carefully read through the contents, and immediately felt a strong urge to try it out.

"With me here, you can try anything you want."

Uchiha Muneki looked at Sasuke, whose face was full of longing, and smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry about getting injured. I also know a little about medical ninjutsu."

He had already thoroughly analyzed the medical ninjutsu of the Naruto world a long time ago.

Essentially, it's a method that stimulates cell regeneration and activation to achieve a healing effect, which is rather crude.

After all, the number of cell divisions by telomerase is limited, and not everyone is the First Hokage. Moreover, He strongly suspects that the First Hokage's early death may be related to his healing power.

While he was pondering, Sasuke had already begun his first attempt.

Following the hand seal sequence recorded on the scroll—Ox, Rabbit, Monkey—he quickly and smoothly completed the first stage, transforming the nature of his chakra, and a visible current gathered in his palm.

Next comes the second step, which requires controlling the form of chakra. Sasuke concentrates his mind.

However, an unexpected incident still occurred.

Although Sasuke has very precise control over chakra, Chidori is an A-level technique, and the gathered electricity exploded directly in his palm.

In an instant, the girl's fair palms became covered in blood.

Perhaps it was the grueling training he had undergone recently, but instead of uttering a sound, Sasuke stared at his hand, which was cracked by the electric current, and fell into deep thought.

"The degree of control needs to be more refined; we can't be too hasty."

After summarizing his failed experiences, Sasuke didn't even wait for treatment and started trying again.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle
Soon, a dazzling ball of lightning re-formed in her palm.

This time, the current exhibited a remarkably stable pattern, with the extremely high-intensity current emitting a piercing noise, like a thousand birds chirping simultaneously.

"Mr. Uesugi, I did it!" Sasuke's face was full of joy. Ignoring his still bleeding hand, he proudly raised his head, his fair neck resembling that of a swan.

"Great, you succeeded after two tries. It's perfect for you."

Uchiha Muneki nodded and smiled, "However, the ninjutsu I'm going to teach you is not just that simple."

"what?"

Sasuke blinked, seemingly puzzled.

Immediately, Uchiha Munetsuki stretched out his hand, and a ball of equally dazzling electricity appeared: "This is the first stage, which I call the basic application. Combined with close-range thrusts, it can directly pierce the target, but it has many extensions, such as this, Chidori Sharp Spear!"

As he spoke, Sasuke's eyes widened as he saw the electric current in his palm extend forward, stopping only after running for more than ten meters.

The extended Thousand Birds is more like a sharp blade, cutting the lawn into neat sections.

"Or perhaps, Thousand Birds, Thousand Pieces."

With a flick of his wrist, Uchiha Muneki's extended Chidori Spear transformed into countless spears, raining down on the wooden stake like a storm.

Using the lightning-enhanced Senbon needles, he pierced through the wooden pillar, leaving behind a charred body riddled with tiny holes.

Sasuke gasped when he saw the wooden stake being used as a weapon.

She simply couldn't imagine the terrifying destructive power that would cause if it hit a person!

"And, the Chidori Stream, a defensive technique that uses a wide-range electrical discharge throughout the body!"

With a thud, dazzling lightning crackled and surged, as if Uchiha Muneki was clad in lightning armor.

Sasuke's mouth gradually widened. She had thought Chidori was the key point, but she never expected that a single ninjutsu could have so many creative variations!
"Of course, all of the above are just minor tips."

Uchiha Munezuki chuckled gently, his eyes flickering slightly, and said, "Next, I will teach you the ninjutsu that can secure victory in one fell swoop, or even turn the tide in a desperate situation."

What? There are still more!

Sasuke was so happy he almost fainted, feeling like he'd been hit by a pie falling from the sky and passed out.

She had thought that the fact that Chidori could be used for three different purposes was already the biggest surprise.

But the biggest surprise was yet to come!
"This tactic should never be used unless absolutely necessary."

Uchiha Muneki slowly exhaled, and his aura underwent a complete transformation.

In an instant, the density of the surrounding atmosphere seemed to drop suddenly, and a chilling sense of fear climbed directly up Sasuke's spine into his mind.

She almost forgot to breathe, staring wide-eyed at the other person's every move.

A blazing, intense, and dazzling lightning bolt, like a 'sun,' was born from Uchiha Muneki's joined palms. As his palms pulled apart, a golden, blazing light spear, imbued with the aura of extreme death, appeared before Sasuke's eyes.

Heart palpitations!

death!

Annihilation!

Gazing at the blazing golden spear, Sasuke couldn't help but swallow hard.

She could feel the violent power contained within it, as if she were facing the wrath of nature, her whole body was ice-cold and chilled to the bone.

"Thunder Spear"

Uchiha Muneki did not throw it away, but slowly withdrew his chakra, allowing the terrifying power to gradually dissipate.

Then, looking at the shocked Sasuke, He slowly said, "The Thunder Spear, once thrown, will have extremely serious consequences, and with your current strength, you can only create one at most. So, unless it's a critical moment, never use it recklessly, understand?"

"Obviously"

Sasuke felt a dryness in his throat and cautiously asked, "Mr. Uesugi, may I ask how destructive this thing is?"

"Hmm, it shouldn't be too big."

Uchiha Muneki thought about it and concluded that it was roughly the same as the Tailed Beast Ball.

He didn't tell Sasuke the last sentence, since explaining the Tailed Beast Ball would be too troublesome.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Sasuke was completely relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the power of the 'light spear' that Mr. Uesugi just gathered, she even felt that Konoha might not be able to withstand it. Fortunately, it wasn't too powerful, so she was relieved.

Perfect timing, she's still holding a grudge after losing to Gaara last time.

Once I've learned this move, I'll definitely test it on Gaara to see whether his absolute defense is more powerful or the 'Thunder Spear' taught by Uesugi-sensei is more powerful!
Having made up his mind, Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Mr. Uesugi, this technique must be very difficult to learn, right?"

Such a powerful ninjutsu must be at least S-rank, right?
To everyone's surprise, Uchiha Munezuki smiled, shook his head, and said, "No, this move is not difficult to learn. With your current level of control, as long as you learn Chidori and its three extensions, learning 'Thunder Spear' will be easy. It's just a matter of proficiency."

"what?!"

Sasuke was somewhat shocked.

As is well known, the more powerful a ninjutsu is, the more difficult it is to learn.

But why did it become even simpler for Mr. Uesugi?
Uchiha Muneki's smile was meaningful.

He naturally wouldn't explain to Sasuke, because this "Thunder Spear" technique wasn't a ninjutsu at all!
Since it's not ninjutsu, there's no such thing as difficulty in learning it.

The Thunder Spear is essentially a 'word of power'.

After Adam devoured all the Dragon King's authority, creating the power of words was naturally a piece of cake.

Moreover, there are words of power like the modified version of 'Thunder Spear,' which have absolutely no technical skill involved, simply compressing elements into shape and then throwing them out as spears.

Of course, the most important factor in casting 'Word of Power' is dragon blood.

While healing Sasuke's injuries, Uchiha Munetsuki secretly mixed in some dragon blood, transforming him into a completely new 'hybrid'.

He went to great lengths to cultivate a host capable of bearing the 'Sequence Two: Natural Disaster'.

"Now, it's time to watch the real show begin."

Uchiha Muneki looked at Hokage Yan Yan, and smiled at the Third Hokage above him: "I hope you will like my gift, White Zetsu."
