Naruto: From Shikotsumyaku to Otsutsuki

Ever since Kaguya Kazama revealed her Storm Release technique, today's ninjutsu instruction has taken a completely different turn.

Kisame Hoshigaki stopped teaching him Water Release and instead began helping him develop Storm Release.

"The upper and lower limits of Storm Release are both very high. Not only is its attack power powerful, but it also has a guiding function and can greatly reduce the chance of hand seals being used, although this can be ignored by you."

Kisame Hoshigaki is redesigning his training program.

"Now that you have Storm Release, you can put aside single-target attack-type Water Release ninjutsu. From now on, you should mainly learn Water Release techniques for wide-range attacks, support, and defense, such as: Great Explosive Water Wave, Water Prison Technique, Water Wall, etc."

He paused for a moment, then said, "The Fourth Hokage was an extremely powerful ninja. The Water Mirror Technique he developed has surpassed the level of an A-rank ninjutsu and reached the level of an S-rank secret technique. If you are able to return to Kirigakure in the future, you must not miss the opportunity to learn from him."

"Water Release: Water Mirror Technique?" Kaguya Kazama remembered this special ninjutsu.

When used, Yagura summons a water mirror that can replicate opponents to attack each other.

The clone can not only unleash ninjutsu, but also fight Killer Bee to a standstill, which is truly impressive.

"That's right. Although he was being manipulated, his mastery of water techniques cannot be denied."

Kisame Hoshigaki's eyes showed a moment of complexity, which he quickly concealed.

He began to carefully guide the development of ninjutsu.

Soon, Kaguya Kazama developed the first bloodline limit ninjutsu.

"Storm Release: Light Cannon."

It's a very simple C-rank ninjutsu, which simply involves firing a concentrated laser beam as thick as a bucket to bombard the target.

After practicing a few times, Kaguya Kazama can now instantly unleash the skill simply by raising her palm, without needing to form hand seals, and she has mastered it very well.

However, subsequent development encountered some problems.

Kisame Hoshigaki demanded that he develop a more ferocious and powerful Storm Release ninjutsu.

He spent a long time using light cannons to blast the surrounding mountains into craters, but still couldn't get the hang of it.

Kisame Hoshigaki gradually became agitated, his shark teeth snapping open as he began to spit saliva wildly.

"Are you an idiot? Storm Release is a fusion of water and lightning attributes. It is both electrified water and soft lightning. Whether you need more bursts of power or perfect control, it's all up to you."

"Micromanagement, micromanagement, I'll say it again, micromanagement, don't act like an idiot who only knows how to fire light cannons."

"By increasing the integration of lightning attribute, you can gain stronger attack power; by increasing the integration of water attribute, you can control the laser to make more variations. Find that balance point, either 6/4 or 7/3."

"In short, fulfill my request. With your level of chakra control, you can't even handle such a small matter in half a day. I really have to doubt whether your evaluation of being a level 2 ninja is a true reflection of yourself."

Beside the waterfall, Kisame Hoshigaki loudly berated Kazuya Kazama.

Kaguya Kazama didn't dare to retort, and said sullenly, "Understood, I'll add more lightning attributes this time."

Following Kisame Hoshigaki's instructions, he began to mobilize his chakra.

The 7/3 lightning and water attribute caused the Storm Release to start flashing with unstable light, even carrying dense lightning.

"High burst damage, high attack power."

Kaguya Kazama kept repeating Kisame Hoshigaki's request, without further altering the proportions. Instead, she condensed a three-meter-wide energy-gathering halo around her palms to help adjust stability and facilitate the release of ninjutsu.

As a large amount of chakra converged, the three-meter-long energy ring emitted a dazzling light.

Numerous lasers and electric arcs ionized the air, giving it an ozone-like smell, but all of it was firmly contained within the energy-concentrating ring.

This is an advanced ninjutsu of "Storm Release: Light Cannon".

Kaguya Kazama not only had her name in mind, but she even had a prelude to her chant.

Scattered among the bones of beasts, spires, crimson crystals, and steel wheels, movement is the wind, stillness is emptiness; the sound of clashing spears fills the void.

"Storm Release No. 63: Thunder Roar Cannon".

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive laser beam, three meters thick and crackling with lightning, tore through the air and struck a small hill in the distance with lightning speed.

Rumbling.....

A blinding flash of light momentarily obscured the sun's rays, followed by a terrifying explosion that sent rocks and dust billowing into the sky—its power exceeding that of a light cannon by hundreds of times.

"Not bad, both its attack power and explosive force have reached the excellent level of B-rank ninjutsu."

Kisame Hoshigaki looked at the small hill in the distance with a gap blasted out and commented:

"For a first use, it's not bad to achieve this level. However, the wind-up animation of your ninjutsu was too long. With your abilities, you could greatly enhance its power."

"For example: continue to increase the proportion of lightning attribute, and do your best to compress its volume before release. If you can compress the volume before release to the size of a fist and then unleash it instantly, then the attack power can even surpass some A-rank ninjutsu."

"In that case, does that mean my Thunder Roar Cannon is an A-rank ninjutsu?" Kaguya Kazama's eyes lit up.

"Grade A? You're dreaming!"

Kisame Hoshigaki scoffed, coldly saying, "Your basic knowledge is truly appalling. The level of a ninjutsu is only determined by the difficulty of learning it; attack power is not used as an evaluation standard. However, ninjutsu with a learning difficulty of A will generally have decent attack power, or at least have special uses. Yours? Even after improvements, it's still not up to par."

"Is getting an A grade really that difficult?"

Kaguya Kazama was somewhat skeptical.

In the past few days of ninjutsu instruction, he has already learned all of Kisame Hoshigaki's C-rank water jutsu and has begun to explore B-rank water jutsu.

As for the Otsutsuki's passive ability to perfectly control chakra, once learned, he can immediately cast spells without hand seals after practicing a few times.

Simply raising your hand and instantly unleashing C-rank or B-rank attacks has become a basic skill for Kaguya Kazama.

Kisame Hoshigaki's mentality had been on the verge of exploding these past two days due to Kaguya Kazama's unspelled spells.

Hearing him question the difficulty of A-level again, he immediately sneered, "Whether it's difficult or not, why don't you develop one yourself and find out?"

"A-rank ninjutsu, besides power, also needs to incorporate extreme form transformations, granting it multi-stage, sustained attack capabilities, or a special function. Which aspect of your Thunder Roar Cannon meets that requirement?"

"Extreme form transformation? Sustained strike capability? Special function?"

Kaguya Kazama pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. So this is the learning difficulty of A-rank? However, I will continue to develop it. I believe that it won't be long before Kisame-sensei will be able to personally experience my A-rank Storm Release."

As an Otsutsuki, even in its juvenile form, it certainly has this much confidence.

He looked at Kisame and pressed on, "Then what about S-rank ultimate ninjutsu?"

"S-rank, this is a culmination of profound ninjutsu, a ninja way of conviction, and its difficulty in learning is top-notch. It may not necessarily have powerful attacks, but it definitely has special abilities."

"In the entire ninja world, Konoha has the most secret ninjutsu, followed by Sunagakure, Kirigakure..."

At this point, Kisame Hoshigaki suddenly fell silent.

His expression turned extremely ugly, and he even looked at Kaguya Kazama with a sense of annoyance.

"You, asking so many questions, are you trying to develop S-rank ninjutsu right away? You haven't even improved your B-rank yet, and you're already thinking about S-rank. Looks like I haven't been putting in enough effort in your training."

"Now, I'm giving you three days to improve your ninjutsu, and then develop one A-rank and three B-rank techniques. If you can't do that..."

He looked down at Kaguya Kazama, his eyes flashing coldly: "You don't want to know the consequences."

Kaguya Kazama: ? ? ?

The Hidden Mist Sect is so weak, it doesn't even have a single S-rank skill, who's to blame?

Blame me? ? ?
