Naruto: From Shikotsumyaku to Otsutsuki

The Land of Waterfalls, Hidden Village of Waterfalls.

This is a ninja village hidden behind a giant waterfall, where everyone lives in a huge underground cavern.

Its unique geographical location has prevented Takigakure from being invaded by other countries except for internal strife.

This is a rare and peaceful place in the ninja world.

However, recent intelligence from the border with the Land of Fire has caused Shibuki, the leader of Takigakure, to frown.

"You said that powerful ninjas have been practicing ninjutsu at the border between the two countries from morning till night these past few days?"

"Yes, Lord Shibuki."

The Jonin in charge of patrolling the border area replied, "I went to check it out yesterday. There are indeed people practicing ninjutsu there, and its power is enormous. In terms of attack power alone, it's no weaker than A-rank. It's somewhat like Lightning Release, but not quite."

Takigakure is just a small ninja village that has never had a bloodline limit, and he was a newly promoted Jonin, so he couldn't recognize Storm Release.

Although Shibuki is young, as a leader, he is no less cautious than others.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Those who can master A-rank ninjutsu are almost all elite Jonin. Those who train in the border area between the two countries are most likely rogue ninjas. We should not act rashly."

"Immediately notify the Jonin in charge of patrolling the Land of Fire's border in Konoha and communicate with them about whether to expel them or ignore them. Follow Konoha's arrangements and don't be the first to act."

"Yes."

The Jonin nodded, then vanished in an instant.

.......

On the other side, at the border.

Kaguya Kazama spent a whole day finally completing the iterative update of her first self-created B-rank Storm Release technique.

He floated in the air, made a hair gel hand gesture, smoothed his hair, and then extended his right index finger, pointing to a small hill in the distance.

After selecting his target, he began to chant the hymn.

This won't increase the power of the Storm Release, but it will greatly increase its style factor.

"Scattered beast bones, spires, red crystals, steel wheels, moving like the wind, still like the void, the sound of spears clashing fills the void city."

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

The moment the thought arose, a massive amount of chakra burst forth from his fingertips as if a floodgate had been opened.

In an instant, a thumb-sized, dark blue bead suddenly condensed, crackling with electric arcs and dazzling light.

The next moment, as if the tip of the bead had been pierced by a needle, terrifying lasers and lightning shot out in a cone shape with overwhelming force.

The powerful energy turbulence rapidly tore through the air, creating immense wind pressure that bent all the surrounding trees.

The target of the attack, the small mountain, first emitted a burst of intense light, like starlight.

Then, a ball of energy, thirty to thirty meters high, appeared, accompanied by countless bolts of lightning, and an astonishing explosion occurred.

Rumble...

Aside from the deafening explosion, only an incredibly blinding light burst forth, making it seem as if a small sun had appeared in the distance.

The shockwave, comparable to that of a super typhoon, spread in all directions, carrying countless rocks and trees, sweeping across an area of ​​nearly three to five kilometers.

Kaguya Kazama's white hair fluttered rapidly in the strong wind. He activated his Byakugan and saw the results of his attack through the dust and smoke.

The small hill, over a hundred meters high, in the distance was completely shattered by a single thunder cannon shot.

Except for the foot of the mountain, which is about ten meters high, the rest of the mountain was blasted into rubble.

Within a radius of tens of kilometers, the earth trembled, beasts cried out in fear, and the thunderous roar echoed through the mountains and forests for a long time.

"Wow! That's incredibly powerful!"

Kaguya Kazama was very satisfied with her masterpiece.

He withdrew his finger and calmly blew away the non-existent gunpowder smoke from his fingertip.

"Very good, it's no worse than Madara's Great Fire Annihilation. The key point is that there's still a lot of room for improvement."

Kaguya Kazama was experiencing the full force of this attack.

He believes he can do even better, and that the Thunder Roar Cannon can have even more form variations.

For example, the angle of the cone-shaped shockwave can be increased from an acute angle to a fan-shaped obtuse angle, making it a wide-range attack ninjutsu.

He was about to try when a figure appeared.

"What the hell have you done?" Kisame Hoshigaki appeared instantly.

He glanced at Kaguya Kazama, then at the distant, vanishing mountain, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"The explosive power of this attack surpasses many A-rank ninjutsu. Did you increase the ratio of lightning and water chakra?"

He immediately saw through the fact that the Thunder Roar Cannon could shatter mountains.

Of the five elements—earth, water, wind, fire, and thunder—only thunder can achieve such a powerful burst of attack.

"Yes, I increased the ratio of lightning to water chakra in the Thunder Roar Cannon to 8/2."

Kaguya Kazama didn't hide her thoughts and spoke frankly: "The 7/3 ratio doesn't produce that much burst damage, and the compression strategy you provided, Kisame-sensei, is very useful."

Originally, the Thunder Roar Cannon's explosion point was a three-meter-long energy-gathering ring, but now he has compressed it into a bead only the size of a thumb.

This extreme compression will make the lightning attribute become many times more violent, allowing it to deal even greater critical damage.

"August 2nd?"

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded, his expression complex, and said, "Generally speaking, the chakra fusion of bloodline limits is very stable. A few bloodline geniuses possess powerful micro-management abilities and can change the chakra ratio to a certain extent to facilitate the development of ninjutsu, but it will never exceed 7/3. But I have never heard of anyone manipulating their bloodline limit like you and not experiencing a violent backlash."

He paused, then said with a hint of amazement, "Sometimes, I really wonder if chakra was created just for you."

"I am an Otsutsuki." Kaguya Kazama naturally knew the reason.

He smiled at Kisame and said, "I may torment Kekkei a thousand times, but they still treat me like their first love. Kisame-sensei, is that what you meant?"

Kisame Hoshigaki: ......

Upon hearing this, Kisame Hoshigaki fell silent instantly.

He looked at Kaguya Kazama's smug face, opened his mouth to say something sarcastic, but found that all his words of belittling were pale in comparison to his freakish talent.

He stared at Kaguya Kazama for a long while before saying calmly, "Even if you've improved the Thunder Roar Cannon, it's still only a B-rank ninjutsu. Don't forget the mission I gave you: three B-rank techniques and one A-rank. You have two and a half days. If you can't complete it, hehe..."

With a low, malicious chuckle, Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at the sun overhead, crossed his arms, and said mockingly:

"By the way, it's lunchtime now, you should start cooking."

"Forehead......"

Kaguya Kazama's smug expression froze instantly; he had forgotten that he also worked part-time as a cook.

"Damn it, I am a noble Otsutsuki. A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, how could I..."

Kaguya Kazama thought to herself.

But upon seeing Kisame Hoshigaki's enigmatic smile, he immediately changed his mind and said, "Okay, I'll go right now."

He didn't want Kisame to find fault with him over something so trivial.

If the mission becomes three A-level missions, that would be truly disastrous.

Seeing that the boy quickly composed himself, appearing neither arrogant nor impatient, Kisame Hoshigaki nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself:

"He is flexible and adaptable, and possesses extraordinary talent; he is simply the best candidate for my disciple."

"Kaguya Kazama, if only you weren't a rogue ninja."

He watched Kaguya Kazama tidy up the stove, his eyes filled with regret and annoyance.

"What a pity, what a pity."

"The Village of Blood Mist, alas, Fourth Hokage, who is controlling you? Who dares to wreak havoc on Kirigakure like this? Hozuki and Minazuki have been wiped out, they deserve to die."

Countless thoughts churned in his eyes. He looked once more at the shattered hill in the distance, and a series of ideas popped into his head.

"Given his talent, perhaps I won't be his match in less than three months."

"That's fine then..."

"At least I have never violated the mission of the Security Force. As a ninja, it is normal to fail a mission, and it is not shameful to lose to the disciple you trained."

"The Kaguya clan's contributions to Kirigakure are evident to all. If I were to rise to power in the future, with the guidance I've provided over these three months, I might have the opportunity to bring him back to Kirigakure."
