Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

hope, as the strongest genius since the establishment of Kumogakure, did not entirely rely on his extraordinary talent, but rather on his hard work and dedication.

In order to train his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he once climbed to the highest peak in the Land of Lightning with his bare hands and raised his hands to receive the baptism of lightning from nature.

He had thought that the thunderbolts from beyond the heavens were the limit of lightning strikes.

But now, hope realizes she was wrong.

Moreover, it's so wrong.

The strongest lightning,

It actually came from the butt crack.

These were his last thoughts before he was swallowed by lightning.

Rumbling--

A clap of thunder awakens all creatures from their slumber.

As black plasma gushed from Danzo's enormous buttocks, everyone present experienced a brief period of deafness, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Such an astonishing scene is something they may never witness in their entire lives.

"Snapped!"

"How is this possible!?"

The composed Golden Horn suddenly slapped himself, confirming he hadn't been under an illusion. Then, incredulously, he posed a soul-searching question:

Why can something as trivial as a butt crack achieve this?

"It's innate."

Suddenly, a voice reached his ears. Kinkaku turned his head and saw Tobirama Senju nodding not far away, his face full of satisfaction.

"Danzo possesses extraordinary resilience and forbearance. Even when faced with numerous slanders, he persisted in following his own path, and his current achievements are well-deserved."

Among Tobirama Senju's disciples, Danzo's talent was not good; in fact, he could be considered the worst.

Unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was born with all five elemental chakra natures, or Kagami Uchiha, who possessed a powerful bloodline limit, or Torifu Akimichi's family secret technique, he did not have any of these.

Even Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu possessed rarer and more special talents than him.

Danzo can only be considered one of the best among conventional ninjas; compared to geniuses, he falls short.

Therefore, in teaching Danzo, Tobirama Senju could not provide him with much constructive guidance. If he had continued along the normal path, he would have only been able to reach the level of an elite Jonin and would have achieved nothing more in his life.

However, Danzo was lucky; he met a man who changed his destiny.

Uchiha Gin,

That seemingly unreliable curly-haired man passed on a unique and potentially powerful secret technique to him.

Even if the cost is enormous, and one might live in the shadow of being despised for the rest of their life,

Danzo accepted it anyway.

He knew very well that only by embarking on this path could he earn the right to stand shoulder to shoulder with the strong.

At this moment, the secret technique that I have been practicing for more than 20 years can finally shine.

Nowadays,

That was the moment when the name "Butt Release" resounded throughout the ninja world.

Crackle

Once the lightning in the arena subsided, everyone onlookers stood on tiptoe, eager to get a closer look.

The two people in the arena were still standing in the same place, but Danzo's huge buttocks had shrunk back and were hanging limply. He himself was pale and swaying.

As for hope, who had consumed double the damage reflection, she was no longer human. Her previously steel-like skin had been completely carbonized under the baptism of lightning, and her long, brownish-yellow hair had been vaporized by the high temperature, with a savory aroma of meat rising up.

Did Danzo win?

The remaining F6 members were sweating profusely, their hearts pounding in their throats, their eyes fixed on the half-conscious Danzo, praying for their friend's victory.

puff-

However, things didn't go as planned. Danzo, exhausted and on his last legs, didn't even last until the enemy fell. His internal meridians were completely destroyed by lightning, and he could only fall backward in regret.

hope's black lightning attack had completely exceeded the threshold that Danzo could withstand. The fact that he was able to return it twice was due to his incredibly strong will.

"Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami flashed into the training ground, stepping on the ground covered in arcs of electricity, and helped Danzo up from the ground. They checked his body, which was still stiff from being electrocuted, and found that he was still breathing. The two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cough cough."

Just as the two were feeling relieved, a hoarse cough sounded behind them. They turned around in surprise, their faces showing expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Despite being charred black by lightning, hope's rolled-back eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

"Crackling~ Crackling!"

The next moment, dense plasma burst forth from his body, and his skin, which had been charred by the high temperature, began to crack. When the wind blew, black fragments scattered like snowflakes, revealing the bloodstained dark red muscle layer underneath.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

Seeing this horrifying scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his companion instinctively took a step back. Upon regaining his senses, Kijima curled his lip in disdain.

"It's been so long since I've felt such intense pain; I really miss it."

In the distance, Tobirama Senju frowned deeply, glanced at Kinkaku who looked relaxed, and couldn't help but ask,

What exactly did he go through?

How could someone be able to calmly chat and laugh with the enemy after being struck by lightning?

"What you perceive as a fatal wound is merely a few hardships for hope."

Faced with the questioning, Jinjiao gently shook his head, and an image of someone being showered by lightning involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

He dared to call himself the strongest in Kumogakure only because hope hadn't fully matured yet.

If he didn't use the power of the tailed beasts, he would be roughly equal to Hii in his current state.

"Hey, here you go."

After reminiscing, Jinjiao tossed an overcoat to hope, who was about to run naked.

"It's indecent; there are women here."

"Without skin or hair, who would want to look at it!"

These words immediately provoked the dissatisfaction of the only two women in the room. Koharu, who had been watching intently, turned her head away and gritted her teeth in defense.

So what if he's a naked man? I've dissected countless of them.

However, I really want to cut into those tight muscle layers!

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

After putting on his coat, hope looked at the unconscious Danzo, and a hint of respect appeared on his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face.

"This lightning bolt was more powerful than any I've ever withstood."

In this era where only the strong earn respect, Danzo proved himself through his actions and gained Hijiri's recognition.

"Danzo, you have a nice butt."

"Kagami, take Danzo down to treat him first. Let me deal with him."

Misinterpreting hope's heartfelt praise as mockery of his close friend, Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head, his eyes blazing with tangible fury.

"Hiruzen, be careful. Even though he looks like this, his aura hasn't weakened at all."

Uchiha Kagami stared with his scarlet Sharingan, scanning the battered body of Hikaru. He discovered that the chakra in Hikaru's meridians was not only not weakened, but also seemed to be overflowing.

"What?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression stiffened upon hearing this. He had thought he could easily snag a kill and claim the MVP award for the entire match.

And then you tell me that this enemy, who looks like he's already badly wounded, is actually at full strength. The black health bar above his head isn't empty; it's so full it's practically black.

"Hiruzen, do your best, I believe in you."

Kagami didn't notice anything unusual about Hiruzen Sarutobi. He picked up the electrified Danzo, gave him a subtle instruction, and flew off.

"Xiaochun, please help me."

After placing Danzo between Mitokado Homura and Akimichi Torifu, Uchiha Kagami spoke gravely to the wet nurse beside him.

"Leave it to me, I will definitely cure them both."

Koharu nodded, her gaze shifting to the shattered glasses, a faint sadness appearing on her face.

"Yan, may your spirit in heaven protect Danzo."

"Cough cough cough."

"Huh? Xiaochun, did you hear that sound?"

"No, did the thunder just now make you hallucinate?"

"Perhaps."

Mitomon inflammation: I think I can still be saved.

In the field,

The latest novel is first published here!

hope sized up the handsome Hiruzen Sarutobi, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes. He hated these skinny pretty boys the most, like the bespectacled guy who first appeared—they lacked any masculine vigor whatsoever.

"Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, please enlighten me."

Now, it's too late to escape. With so many eyes watching him from the sidelines, Hiruzen Sarutobi has no choice but to grit his teeth and fight against this terrifying black prison monster.

The stinging pain all over his body had worn down hope's patience. All he wanted now was to end the fight as soon as possible, go back and take a good bath to disinfect himself.

"Enough talk, let's fight."

By this time, hope's entire body had begun to scab over, but dark red blood was still seeping out. After he assumed an attack stance, even more tiny spurts of blood shot out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi cautiously retreated to create distance; close combat was a major taboo against this type of taijutsu-based ninja.

"ha!"

A dazzling burst of lightning erupted from hope's body once more, a black arc of electricity emanating from her blue lightning armor, making her look even more terrifying than before.

whoosh-

In Lightning Release Chakra Mode, hope used the Body Flicker Technique, his muscular body becoming a blur before disappearing from the spot.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his gaze fixed on the enemy, sharpened, crossed his arms, and unleashed six hand seals in a single second.

"Earth Release: Great River of Earth Release".

A gushing stream of thick mud spurted from his mouth, instantly covering the entire training ground. The brownish mud, dripping and oozing, immediately evoked images of something ominous.

However, this tactic is best used against enemies with high movement speed.

"Thud!"

As hope moved at high speed, she looked down at the extremely viscous mud beneath her feet and frowned slightly. It was incredibly sticky; the harder she tried to break free, the tighter she was pulled in.

"Found you!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi keenly spotted Hikari's presence, a faint joy appearing in his eyes. His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and a scorching aura gathered in his mouth.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique".

Koko-chan!

The ferocious fire dragon burst from its mouth and bit straight at hope, who was stuck in the mud.

"Bang!"

Just as he was about to be devoured by the merciless fire dragon, hope raised his right hand, turning his fist into a palm, and unleashed a powerful hand chop crackling with black lightning at the oncoming fire dragon.

[Level of abuse]

After a loud bang, the fire dragon was cleaved into fireworks by a simple hand chop.

"How is that possible!?"

His signature ninjutsu was easily neutralized by his opponent, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi in disbelief. However, his attacks didn't falter; as a turret-type ninja, he needed to maximize his strengths.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

From the muddy ground, a huge dragon head emerged, its mouth opening wide, and countless earth bullets shot towards the struggling hope.

"A waste of effort."

This time, hope raised his hands to protect himself, lightning crackling in his hands, blue arcs of electricity forming two enormous hand blades.

Swish!

Swish~ Swish!

Wielding his lightning-infused hand blade, hope swung it through the air, sending two lightning-infused blades flying that struck the flying earth bullets directly. The seemingly indestructible earth bullets instantly shattered.

The laws of Rektu are now manifested in reality.

After shattering the earth bullet, the momentum of the sword aura did not diminish, and it crashed into Hiruzen Sarutobi with unstoppable force.

"Wind Release: Cyclone"

At the critical moment, he unleashed a fierce gust of wind from his mouth, howling as it met the lightning blade's attack.

"Crackling~ Crackling~ Boom!"

The two collided, producing a violent explosion. Hiruzen Sarutobi, fearing being caught in the blast, swiftly retreated, giving Hijiri a chance to break free.

"Break through this mere mud!"

Hidden in the mud, hope turned the lightning armor he was wearing to its maximum power. The violent lightning burst out, shaking the mud off his feet. He then took the opportunity to leap and land on a spot not covered by mud.

"Good combat awareness, but unfortunately, his methods are unremarkable."

At this moment, hope still had the composure to assess the enemy, showing that he was already confident of victory.

Don't underestimate me!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was ashen. He had fought countless battles since his debut, but this was the first time he had lost the initiative in front of someone his own age.

"I just want to tell you that in the face of absolute speed and power, all resistance is futile."

Hiroki bent down proudly, assuming a sprinting stance. Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's internal alarm bells rang. He quickly crossed his arms, surpassing his own record of six hand seals per second.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was congratulating himself on raising a thick defense first, a crisp cracking sound made his smile freeze on his face.

"Boom!"

"Lei Duck Neck!"

A barely perceptible elbow strike landed squarely on Hiruzen Sarutobi's abdomen.

"puff!"

The force entered his body so violently that his internal organs were completely displaced in an instant, the air in his lungs was squeezed out, and his face turned red instantly due to lack of oxygen.

"To fall to my elbow is a gift from heaven."

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's pained expression, Nozomi wore a smug look, but the next second, his smile vanished.

"Bang!"

The Hiruzen Sarutobi before his eyes vanished in a puff of white smoke. Only then did Nozomi realize he had been tricked.

"Shadow clones, when?"

"When I cast Earth Flow Wall."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice came from above. Startled, Hikaru looked up and saw five figures in the sky.

"That is."

Each of Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouths was brewing a completely different energy, and even though Hiki's perception was poor, he could still clearly feel the terrifying destructive power contained in these energies.

"Five Elements: Great Combo Bullet Technique!"

Five different elemental ninjutsu—fire, lightning, water, earth, and wind—were uttered simultaneously, and violent energy gathered in the air. The incompatible elements were forcibly mixed together, and the consequences were predictable.

"Thunder Armor!!!"

"Behave yourself! Stay here quietly!" (End of Chapter)
