Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 1040: Black Lightning & White Lightning



The strange white lightning flashing around Raijin’s body illuminated the darkened and gloomy Forest of Death making everyone looking at it cover their eyes for a moment as it was too bright to look at for more than a few seconds.

“White Lightning? How… just how did you…?” Similar to Kakashi and the other Konohagakure Jōnins, Darui also opened his eyes wide in surprise.

As one of the few ninjas who have mastered the Black Lightning, Darui knows just how difficult a Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra is, even Yondaime Raikage could not master this special Jutsu despite Sandaime Raikage’s multiple attempts to teach him.

It took him several years and countless failures to perform the Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra and finally master the Black Lightning. Darui used to think that he was the only Shinobi in the Shinobi world alive capable of performing Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra, as such, he somewhat looked down on other Lightning Chakra specialists with a somewhat condescending attitude, believing himself to be superior.

In fact, his usual lazy expression toward others is a sign of his superiority, he doesn’t think that a shinobi specializing in Lightning Chakra Nature can be worthy of respect unless they have performed Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra.

However, as he saw Raijin use White Lightning, his heart was shaken, and he was shocked to his very core. Such a thing did not happen even when he saw signs of Raijin mastering the Lightning Chakra Cloak. Moreover, the result of Raijin’s Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra is White Lightning which is obviously different from his Black Lightning, and this made him frown a little.

The lightning around Raijin was pure white, no, it was not just whitish, it had a silvery touch to it making it appear divine or holy, and surrounded by this divine lightning, Raijin appeared to be the god of lightning looking down on others including Darui.

Taking several deep breaths to calm his heart, Darui spoke to the ninja standing opposite him, “Raijin, it seems that despite having overestimated you again and again I really underestimated you…!”

Raijin did not respond to Darui’s words, he may appear calm and collected from his demeanor and body language, but in truth, he was not calm at all, a lot is going through his mind. First and foremost, he was trying to immerse himself in the feeling of having completed the Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra and was observing the White Lightning around him using the pair of Sharingan in his eyes.

Truth be told, this is actually the first time he has succeeded in performing the Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra. Before this moment, he would often come very close to completing the Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra but failed at the last step, and now that he has finally succeeded, he must remember this feeling, lest he forget it.

But Darui and the other Konohagakure Jōnins did not know the thoughts in Raijin’s mind. To them, silent Raijin appeared to be preparing for some inexplicably powerful Jutsu. Even Darui felt pressured. He was trying to kill Raijin but failed to do so, so he feared that Raijin was going to return the favor now.

‘Forget about killing him… for now, I need to survive this!’ such a thought appeared in his mind as he decided to go all out and unleashed his Chakra Reserves without holding back.

Instantly, the Black Lightning around him intensified and his hair stood up, but Darui did not stop there he continued to intensify the lightning until it started taking the form of a large black hound.

On the side

Looking at both Raijin and Darui charging up their respective White Lightning and Black Lightning, Asuma couldn’t help but speak, “Kakashi… didn’t you say that Darui is the only Shinobi alive capable of performing Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra…?”

“I… did not expect Raijin to be capable of something like that too…” responded Kakashi with a somewhat distracted expression.

Having lost the Sharingan more than six years ago, Kakashi has lost the ability to use Chidori and Raikiri. Currently, he has only a single eye and there is no solution to the tunnel vision. Ever since then, he has been trying to figure out ways to master other Lightning Jutsu to reattain the same lethality that Raikiri had.

Alongside mastering the Eight Inner Gates, Kakashi has indeed managed to create several other Lightning Style Jutsu, including the Lightning Style Stimulation Method that he taught Sasuke, although none of them were ordinary Lightning Style Jutsu, none of them have the same ‘Ooof’ factor that made Raikiri extremely lethal, moreover, they don’t even complement all that well with his fighting style.

Such a result made Kakashi extremely distressed, and he tried many more things.

Of course, he also considered enhancing the power of his Lightning Style arsenal using Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra but gave up halfway for two reasons, firstly it is very difficult and might take several years, and second that would still not go too well with his speed-based fighting style. He is more inclined to master the Lightning Chakra Armor to further enhance his speed along with gaining lethality.

So, the idea of Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra was put on hold.

But after watching Darui and Raijin use their own version of Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra to create Black Lightning as well as White Lightning, Kakashi vaguely felt that he had grasped the feeling. ‘I might be able to use it too…’

Monitoring Room

Through the remaining monitors on the edge of the Raijin vs Darui battlefield, the people in the monitoring room also witnessed the unexpected confrontation between Darui’s Black Lightning and Raijin’s White Lightning.

Everyone in the monitoring room is highly experienced with a deep knowledge base about the shape and form transformation of Chakra. Hence, the display of Black Lightning and White lightning really shocked them and made them pay attention to the two shinobi on the screen.

The one most stunned was certainly the Yondaime Raikage, he couldn’t even hide the shock on his face, “How is this possible?”

Elder Hiruzen stroked his beard as he looked closely at the screen and wondered, “Is it the Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra?”

Elder Koharu whispered lightly, “I heard rumors a special form of Lightning Style developed by Sandaime Raikage of Kumogakure… It seems the rumors were accurate…”

Tsunade-hime asked, “But what’s up with Raijin’s White Lightning… that too seems to be the Single Chakra Nature Transformation of Lightning Nature Chakra… As far as I can recall, Amegakure did not have such a special form of Lightning Style…” She was one of the commanders of the Second Great Shinobi War that was fought within the Lands of the Land of Rain, and during that time, she received no intelligence about any special form of Lightning that an Amegakure ninja uses.

Darui’s Black Lightning seems to have some history, but Raijin’s White Lightning has no history and no record at all!

Unfortunately, there was no Amegakure leader available in the monitoring to answer Tsunade-hime’s question.

Jiraiya pondered for a moment, then approached ‘Kuroto’ and whispered in his ear, “Perhaps Kakashi’s thoughts have to be taken more seriously… Raijin, Samsara, and Tengu might really have some connection with the Akatsuki Organization.”

‘Kuroto’ nodded, “I have dispatched two Anbu squads and one special squad to the Land of Rain in order to collect information about Raijin, Samsara, and Tengu…”

Jiraiya suggested, “I am thinking of going to the Land of Rain as well…”

‘Kuroto’ hesitated a little…

Seeing the hesitation on his face, Jiraiya reassured him, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything reckless…”

“Wouldn’t it be best to wait for the second part to end?” asked ‘Kuroto.’

Jiraiya shook his head, “We can’t take risks in regard to Naruto’s safety… The sooner we confirm our doubts, the better… otherwise, we might end up focusing on the wrong targets.”

‘Kuroto’ pondered for a moment, then nodded, “Very well then… Jiraiya-sama please go to the Land of Rain and confirm the background of that Amegakure squad…” he paused for a moment and added as he passed a Kunai to Jiraiya, “This Kunai has the mark of the Flying Raijin Formation from Genma, Iwashi, and Raidō’s team… using this, you will be able to get to the Land of Rain quickly…”

Jiraiya nodded as he received the Kunai, “Alright…” Though he wasn’t going to use the Kunai. He had a few toads spread out in the Land of Rain, and through them, he could get himself reverse-summoned to the Land of Rain, as such, coming and going to that country would be easy and not too time-consuming for him.

“Good luck Jiraiya-sama…” said ‘Kuroto.’ Hoping that Jiraiya remains safe.

“I will be back within this week…” leaving behind these words, Jiraiya left the monitoring room.
