Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 71 Kurosuki Raiga, is he dead?

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Come on, let me see the power of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist," Yoru said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Kurozuki Raiga frowned.

"You brat, who are you insulting?"

"Thunder Blade Technique - Lightning Strike"

"Click~"

"Stab~"

Enraged by Yoru's words, Raiga Kurosuki instantly mobilized his chakra and unleashed his last lethal ninjutsu.

Instantly, two lightning bolts, each half a meter thick, hurtled towards Ye Yu like pythons.

"Its power is much stronger than the previous Thunder Feast."

"But if that's all you've got, you can't kill me."

Two bolts of lightning rushed toward Ye Yu from the left and right sides.

"Snapped"

Ye Yu clapped his hands together.

"Let's see how my Lightning Release works."

Lightning Release: Meteor

"Stab~"

Instantly, intense golden lightning erupted from Ye Yu's body.

These lightning bolts rapidly condensed into dozens of golden lightning bolts, which shot towards Black Hoe Thunder Fang.

Two golden bolts of lightning instantly shattered the two lightning pythons released by Black Hoe Raiya.

The two lightning pythons were blasted into specks of light without any resistance.

Before Kurozuki Raiga could even react, countless golden lightning bolts bombarded his body.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

In an instant, a violent explosion erupted at the location of the Black Hoe Raiga.

Dust and sand billowed everywhere, and even though it was night, the surroundings were illuminated by golden lightning as if it were daytime.

A terrifying force shook the surrounding earth.

It even triggered a small earthquake.

This terrifying scene resembled the end of the world.

Even Sakura and her two companions, who were hundreds of meters away, almost lost their footing. Sakura was completely stunned.

"Is this...this is the power of Night Feather?"

"That's...that's terrifying! Is he really only twelve years old?"

Sakura couldn't believe that such power could be possessed by a twelve-year-old boy.

Sakura even felt that Yoru's power had far surpassed Kakashi's.

After all, she had never seen Kakashi use such a wide-ranging and destructive ninjutsu before.

After a long while, the smoke and dust dissipated.

A large pit, a hundred meters wide and several meters deep, appeared in front of Ye Yu.

The soil in the pit had been scorched black by the lightning and was still smoking.

Reaching the edge of the pit, Ye Yu looked at the charred body of the Black Hoe Raiya, torn to pieces, and the two Rai-katana lying on the ground.

He was completely stunned.

They appeared at the center of the resistance from the edge of the pit.

"No way, is he really Raiga Kurosuki?"

"died?!"

Yoru couldn't understand it; these were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Raiga Kurosuki was actually killed by one of his own ninjutsu techniques.

Moreover, their bodies were charred black.

"Could this Black Hoe Rai-ga be a fake?"

Yoru still refused to believe that Raiga Kurosuki was only capable of so little.

He's still waiting for Raiga Kurozuki's ultimate move.

Who knew that a casual lightning release ninjutsu would kill him.

Pick up the two thunder knives that had fallen to the ground.

"This knife is really ugly."

Yoru originally thought that this was a ninja sword, and that a large part of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's strength came from the enhancement provided by the ninja sword.

But when Ye Yu actually got his hands on it, he realized that the knife didn't suit his aesthetic at all.

He had originally intended to collect the strangely shaped items, but now he had lost that interest.

"Keep it. I guess I can return it to them as a favor after we restore relations with Kirigakure in the future."

Kirigakure is currently closed off, so there is no way to repay the debt.

With Ye Yu's current strength, this lightning blade is of no use to him.

Moreover, it doesn't fit his aesthetic preferences; he would have liked Sasuke's Kusanagi sword.

"Let's seal it away first."

As he spoke, Yoru took out a sealing scroll from his ninja tool bag.

This is the most basic sealing scroll I learned from studying sealing techniques with Kakashi these past few days. It's used to seal ninja tools onto the scroll.

These are the ninja tool scrolls we use every day.

After putting away the Thunder Blade, Ye Yu looked at the Black Hoe Thunder Fang, which had turned into charcoal and was now broken into pieces scattered everywhere.

"A Jonin of his generation, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, it's truly a pity he died like this."

"That's so undignified."

"I often organize funerals for others, so let me see you off on your final journey."

Raiga Kurosuki was the first Jonin Yoru killed, and he was an elite Jonin at that.

He didn't feel much joy.

He was somewhat disappointed, as he believed that Raiga Kurosuki definitely had some powerful moves yet to unleash.

He originally thought that Raiga Kurosuki could withstand his ninjutsu.

But he didn't expect that not only would Kurozuki Raiga fail to block it, he wouldn't even have the ability to react and dodge it.

Lightning Release: Meteor is an A-rank ninjutsu.

It was also a lightning-style ninjutsu that he developed.

However, it has never been used in actual combat since it was developed.

Unexpectedly, this ninjutsu killed Raiga Kurosuki in its first real battle.

Even Ye Yu hadn't expected that this ninjutsu could kill an elite Jonin.

Although Raiga Kurosuki was eventually killed by Naruto.

But that's because Naruto has the protagonist's aura. If you really want to be serious, it would be difficult for Naruto to kill him without unleashing the power of the Nine-Tails.

Moreover, at that time, Raiga Kurosuki's psychological defenses were affected by Ranmaru.

Raiga Kurosuki hasn't been affected by Ranmaru yet; he's still a genuine elite Jonin.

Even Ye Yu himself didn't expect that he would be able to kill an elite Jonin now.

Looking at Raiga Kurozumi's corpse, Yoru shook his head.

I just feel very sorry.

It's a pity that Raiga Kurosuki didn't unleash his ultimate move.

"Escape·Earth Quicksand"

Ye Yu formed hand seals and slammed them onto the ground.

Instantly, a large amount of soil surged from the ground, turning into silt and gradually burying Black Hoshino Raiya's body, forming a mound.

A stone tablet was erected in front of the tomb.

Ye Yu walked up to the stone tablet and carved the name of Kurozuki Raiga with his hand.

Despite having killed an elite Jonin, Yoru felt no joy.

I'm just wondering what my current strength is?

Why did Raiga Kurosuki kill himself?

Ye Yu has serious doubts about his current strength.

When he killed Raiga Kurosuki, he realized that he hadn't defeated an elite Jonin.

The question is whether this person is Raiga Kurosugi.

Previously, Yoru always felt that his strength was about the same as that of an ordinary Jonin, and that there was still a big gap between him and an elite Jonin.

So when he killed Raiga Kurosuki with a single ninjutsu, without even consuming a tenth of his chakra, he was completely stunned.

It feels like a dream.

Regardless, now that Raiga Kurosuki has been killed...

This indicates that Yoru's strength has now reached the level of an elite Jonin.

This is a very high level.

After all, in theory, every village's elite Jonin is qualified to be selected as a Kage.

The Kage of each village is actually selected from among the elite Jonin.

Even Naruto needed to spend some time leveling up to Jonin before he could take over Kakashi's position and become the Seventh Hokage.

Of course, Yoru's current rank is still Genin.

The Chunin Exams will be held in a few months, and that might be the time when Yoru gets his chance to become a Chunin.
