Konoha: The Foundation's revelation at the outset shocks the world.

Chapter 240 Aftereffects and Cultivation

"No."

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Lu Chen hasn't had enough time to learn ninjutsu from me. I haven't had a chance to teach him the Summoning Jutsu yet, so I can't use my summoning beast to communicate with him..."

As he finished speaking, Orochimaru's voice gradually faded.

He noticed that Danzo's expression suddenly changed. He stared intently at the scroll in his hand, his face frozen, as if he had seen something incredible.

"what happens?"

Orochimaru frowned slightly as he looked at Danzo and asked a question.

Danzo stared at the scroll for several seconds before seemingly snapping out of his disbelief. He slowly lowered the scroll, looked at Orochimaru, and took a breath, saying:

"Hanzo is dead."

"The Hidden Rain Village has collapsed."

The tent was completely silent.

"Lord Danzo... what did you say?!"

Before Orochimaru could speak, an elite Jonin next to him showed an incredulous expression and couldn't help but speak to Danzo.

The other elite Jonin also looked over, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Danzo did not respond.

He simply lowered his head again, picked up the scroll once more, and began to look at it, his gaze sweeping over it bit by bit, as if trying to imprint all the contents of the scroll into his mind.

"……call."

After a few seconds of silence, Orochimaru exhaled and asked with a somewhat ambiguous expression, "Was it Lu Chen who did it?"

"Yes."

Danzo continued to stare at the scroll.

Orochimaru turned to look outside the tent, took a few steps towards the entrance, and gazed at the darkening sky in the distance. After a moment, he returned to the tent, wryly saying, "This disciple..."

monster!

Even he, who was often called a monster, felt at this moment that Lu Chen was the real monster, and he was nothing compared to him.

He graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of nine, became a Chunin in the same year, became a Jonin at the age of ten, killed Chiyo, killed the Third Raikage at the age of eleven, and became an Elite Jonin...

Then, in the same year, he killed Hanzo the Salamander, who was known as "?", a demigod of the ninja world!

The process of rising to prominence.

It was like a miracle.

The most terrifying thing is that Lu Chen stormed into Amegakure alone and forcibly killed Hanzo of the Salamander. Even just thinking about it is unbelievable.

Even if Amegakure is just a small ninja village, its defenses and barriers must be complete, and Hanzo of the Salamander himself is a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world!

At this moment, Orochimaru could hardly fathom Lu Chen's strength!

He just knows.

He was no match for Lu Chen.

Orochimaru was at a loss for words, while Danzo stared at the scroll in silence, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The elite Jonin standing nearby exchanged glances, all of them seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Alone.

Invade Amegakure, kill Hanzo the Salamander, and destroy the entire village!

What a terrifying power this is!

At this moment, amidst their shock, they even felt a sense of relief, relieved that this being was White Fang's son, a ninja of Konoha!

If the other party were a ninja from another village, just thinking about it would be terrifying and send chills down one's spine.

……

As news spread that Lu Chen had killed Hanzo the Salamander and destroyed Amegakure.

Both the Iwagakure and Sunagakure villages were greatly affected, with the Tsuchikage Onoki horrified and the Kazekage Rasa deeply shocked.

The Sand Ninja active on the border were not recalled by Rasa, because they were the 'dissidents' he intended to eliminate. However, Onoki immediately withdrew the troops from the front lines.

He dared not act rashly again!

The Rain Village has already been defeated. If Lu Chen joins the main battlefield, the main battlefield will inevitably suffer huge losses. Unless they can join forces with the Sand Village, they will have no chance to continue fighting.

However, the strength that Lu Chen displayed in this battle also gave Onoki a headache. Such a ninja is even more terrifying than a Jinchuriki!

An absolute weapon of war!

……

As the Sand Ninja fell into an eerie silence and the Iwa Ninja began to quietly retreat, Lu Chen did not return to the Konoha camp, but instead went to a canyon in the Land of Rain.

"It seems that the Infinite Shadow Clone technique can't be used carelessly after all... It's been three or four days, and there are still some aftereffects affecting my mental state..."

Lu Chen stood under a protruding rock and rubbed his temples.

The Shadow Clone Technique ensures that everything experienced and endured by the clones is completely transmitted to the original body after they disappear. He had previously created at least a thousand shadow clones, an extremely exaggerated number, and the impact after they disintegrated was equally exaggerated.

Having witnessed Naruto use a large number of shadow clones before, Lu Chen thought there wouldn't be any major problems. However, it turned out to be a huge issue, which made Lu Chen want to complain. He simply couldn't understand how Naruto could withstand the feedback from so many shadow clones at the same time.

This is unreasonable!

The only plausible explanation is that Naruto's spirit was connected to Kurama, and Kurama blocked most of the pressure he received, preventing any serious consequences.

In short, shadow clones shouldn't be used carelessly. I should find an opportunity to learn water clones or rock clones in the future. It seems that these two types of clones don't transfer the experiences they've endured to the original body.

thought for a moment.

Lu Chen found a clean rock to sit on and took out the scroll that recorded the secret techniques of lightning escape.

He didn't know the situation of the Sand Village, but he could roughly guess the reaction of the Iwa Village. He had killed Hanzo of the Salamander and defeated Amegakure. Onoki would definitely not dare to make any rash moves in the short term and would definitely order his troops to retreat and stop the pressure on Konoha.

Lu Chen had no intention of pursuing the Iwa ninja.

Because the Iwa ninja are scattered, he needs to hunt them down in the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, which requires a lot of location information and also takes a lot of time.

Rather than spending time hunting down Iwa ninja, what he wants to do now is to further refine the Lightning Release techniques he has compiled.

after that.

Then cultivate according to this lightning escape technique.

His physique wasn't as suited to the Eight Gates training as Guy's. The fact that he's been able to open the fifth gate so far is purely due to the amount of training he's done that surpasses Guy's!

On the surface, it seems that he spent two years, from the age of nine to eleven, cultivating the Eight Gates to the fifth gate, but in reality, it took at least twice as long!

More than four years!

The difficulty of the Eight Gates increases as you progress. The difficulty of the sixth gate is almost the sum of the previous gates. At the current pace, it is estimated that it will take at least four years of actual training.

This kind of cultivation is extremely tedious and boring. Although Lu Chen's will is also very strong, he does not want to continue cultivating like this. Moreover, at this rate, the seventh gate will probably take even longer, and the eighth gate may be a long way off.

Therefore, changes must be made.

Because of his ability to reverse time, Lu Chen can attempt to deduce ninjutsu almost without limit, without worrying about any impact on his body.

Chapter 241 Lightning Release Body Tempering and Five Times Speed

He believed that using the Lightning Release chakra technique to forge and hone his body had a high probability of reducing the difficulty and time required to open the Eight Gates.

after all.

The Eight Gates Formation he used was no longer the pure Eight Gates Formation, but rather the Eight Gates Lightning Formation formed by using Lightning Release chakra to open the gates!

Within the canyon.

White lightning crackled and exploded at the bottom.

Lu Chen glanced at his arm, which had been scorched by the lightning, shook it, and the scorch marks quickly faded, restoring his fair and undamaged state.

"It's too concentrated...it needs further adjustment..."

After a moment's thought, Lu Chen opened his palm, and the lightning-attribute chakra flowed through his arm again. He quickly compressed it into a flowing form, which adhered to and flowed inside and outside his arm before releasing his control.

Crackling! !

The lightning exploded again, injuring his arm once more.

"The amount of chakra is still too much; it needs to be reduced..."

Lu Chen's expression remained unchanged. After using time reversal to heal his arm injury, he continued to try.

Lightning Release Body Tempering Technique is a secret technique that uses lightning to stimulate the body's cells. Unlike Chidori, which simply flows on the palms and weapon surfaces, it wraps around and intertwines from the inside and outside of the entire arm.

Unlike Chidori, the lightning chakra cannot be controlled during this process. If it is controlled, the lightning chakra will not stimulate the body but will instead become a normal lightning release ninjutsu.

The key to the Lightning Release Body Tempering Technique is to create a portion of lightning chakra in the most suitable 'amount', and then release control over this portion of lightning chakra, allowing it to transform into lightning arcs and naturally erupt inside and outside the body.

This amount needs to be controlled very subtly.
