Chapter 155: Chapter 155: On-the-Spot Ninjutsu Development
At the same time, Haku and Kimimaro also woke up.
However, compared to Sasuke, their mental state was not as good.
They didn't have Sasuke's abnormal physique that allowed him to refine chakra tirelessly throughout the night.
The exhaustion of their mental energy was severe.
Yet they still forced themselves to stay awake because they also heard Sasuke's voice.
They wanted to see what kind of jutsu Sasuke was about to develop.
Watching Sasuke step into the clearing,
Once he was in position,
Sasuke silently began accumulating chakra within his body.
Forming seals with his hands and placing them in front of his chest, he closed his eyes and focused all his energy on condensing chakra.
Lightning Release: Endless Thunder Pool this technique would eventually become a foundational jutsu for Sasuke to launch various other lightning-style attacks.
Once this jutsu was activated, the enhancement it provided to lightning-style techniques was astonishing.
In fact, Sasuke, in his current state, still required activating his Cursed Seal Mode to use it.
The cursed seal slowly emerged.
As the black markings appeared on Sasuke's face,
"This is the Heaven Cursed Seal…"
Guren looked at Sasuke with some envy. As Orochimaru's subordinate, how could she not know about the cursed seal?
The Heaven Cursed Seal was something she most desired not for its power, but to gain Orochimaru's recognition.
Yet, she had clearly not achieved that wish.
The Cursed Seal Mode was activated.
Sasuke fully activated the first stage of the cursed seal; at this point, he could only activate this stage without sustaining injury.
Activating the second stage would still cause physical damage.
As the cursed seal chakra surged, glowing chakra emanated faintly around Sasuke's body.
Due to the seal's unique properties, the emitted light carried a dark halo.
"Sasuke-sama!"
Haku found Sasuke's cursed seal chakra to be quite strange.
A sense of unease arose.
But in the next moment,
Bolts of lightning erupted around Sasuke,
Striking madly from all directions toward him.
As Haku and Kimimaro watched in shock, the roaring thunder instantly intensified.
One bolt after another descended from the sky, gathering furiously around Sasuke.
In an instant, dazzling blue light appeared.
Thick lightning serpents coiled frantically around Sasuke, crackling and leaping.
A thunder pool formed,
Centered on Sasuke, spanning a radius of five to six meters.
Sasuke opened his eyes, which were now bursting with lightning. The radiating electricity formed a dense network in the air.
"Lightning Release: Endless Thunder Pool…"
"Activate!"
At that moment, Sasuke gazed at the lightning around him.
"The range has increased by over half since last time! Is it because my chakra reserves have grown?"
Indeed!
At this rate, one day, Sasuke would be able to create a thunder pool spanning hundreds of meters in an instant.
At that time, leveraging these lightning fields to develop Lightning Summoning would truly be achievable.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Sasuke's face.
But now was not the time to think about that.
Currently, he was developing another jutsu.
Even with just the activation of Endless Thunder Pool, Haku, Kimimaro, and Guren were already stunned.
The violent lightning gathered around Sasuke, intimidating enough that even a seasoned lightning-style user wouldn't dare approach recklessly.
They could clearly feel the terrifying pressure emanating from this technique.
This was not a jutsu an ordinary ninja could withstand.
And yet, Sasuke, who unleashed this technique, appeared as if he was bathing in lightning.
His red Sharingan eyes stood out strikingly amidst the lightning.
At this moment, Sasuke prepared to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Sasuke had another ocular technique Hyper Perception.
With the aid of Hyper Perception, what Sasuke planned to do next would be much easier.
"Mangekyou Sharingan!"
"Activate!"
As the strange patterns appeared in his eyes, Guren was completely shocked.
"This is… the Uchiha clan's… legendary Mangekyou Sharingan?"
"Such captivating eyes. These eerie patterns seem as though they could pull someone in with some mysterious power!"
As Guren spoke, the lightning around Sasuke became even more volatile.
Sasuke began controlling the lightning to spread out.
With Hyper Perception activated, Sasuke could clearly see the lightning converging from all directions.
Now, Sasuke's task was to integrate his chakra into the lightning.
Then release it all in one go.
The dispersed lightning would become low-voltage currents in the air, spreading rapidly.
When it came into contact with a living organism, the current would be absorbed, penetrating their body, allowing Sasuke to sense every living thing within range.
However, the influx of information into the brain at that moment would likely be overwhelming.
Sasuke braced himself for this.
For his first attempt, Sasuke decided to control the range to a smaller area.
"Let's start with 100 meters!"
With this in mind, Sasuke roughly calculated the amount of current required for a 100-meter range.
He raised his hands to form seals, using them to assist with control.
The sequence of seals naturally became the required pattern for casting this jutsu.
Watching Sasuke form these seals, Guren's mouth slowly opened in astonishment.
Witnessing the creation of a ninjutsu from scratch such an event wasn't something one encountered every day.
Continuously forming seventy hand seals, Guren felt her scalp tingle as she watched. This was the creation of a new ninjutsu!
Did this guy not even need to test it?
He actually achieved success in one go?
This is what talent looks like!
As an exceptional genius, Sasuke's instinctual brilliance was something they simply couldn't comprehend.
The hand seals were completed.
In the next seconds, Sasuke spread his hands open, the gathered lightning in his palms transforming into waves of electrical energy, which instantly dispersed.
As it shot into the sky, a bizarre electrical ripple visible to the naked eye spread rapidly, like a wave, expanding to a range of nearly 200 meters in the blink of an eye.
In that moment, Sasuke's eyes trembled slightly.
The sudden influx of information into his brain caused some initial discomfort.
However, Sasuke didn't feel any strain his mental strength handled it perfectly.
"Does this count as... a success?"
[Congratulations to the host for successfully developing a new ninjutsu.]
[Please name it.]
Since even the system acknowledged it, the technique was clearly a success.
As for the name...
"Let's call it Lightning Release: Web of the Mind!"
[Name successfully registered.]
[Lightning Release: Web of the Mind (Beginner Level)]
