Chapter 57 Preparations, Kakashi's Lightning Armor
The next day, Ishikawa got up early, feeling refreshed. Just to be on the safe side, he bought several bottles of ration pills and cages from several ninja tool shops before heading to the Forest of Death again.
He must hurry and complete the practical application of the spiritification technique and the animal stockpile within these few days.
While Ishikawa was training desperately in the Forest of Death, Nohara Rin saw the list of those who had passed the written test.
Although Obito passed the written test as a candidate, it did not affect his participation in the second test.
"What? The second exam is a team battle with each class as a group?? Kakashi, don't you dare drag us down..." Upon hearing the examiner's order, Obito looked at Kakashi beside him with dissatisfaction and gave him a smug warning.
"That's my line, right? 'Damn, um, Obito.'" Kakashi rolled his eyes, but ultimately didn't say the last three words, "Damn it all."
This brought a satisfied smile to Nohara Rin's face. It seemed that last night's dinner party had some effect! Hmm, keep up the good work.
"Alright, meet at the exam location in three days. Obito, Kakashi, good luck! ↖(^w^)↗" After the examiner left, Nohara Rin immediately gave a word of encouragement and turned to leave.
She's going to make the most of the limited three days for intensive training! For example, one-handed Rasengan.
After studying the Thousand Hands Super Strength technique, she had already found a way to practice it. With the help of the doorknob, three days of proper use was no less effective than half a month of special training.
Night fell, and as the time-traveling room descended once more, two exhausted figures looked at each other and smiled.
When Ishikawa learned that Nohara Rin was going to use the Rasengan in the second exam, his lips twitched. Instead of holding her back, he considerately refused Rin's guidance in practicing the Palm Healing Technique, allowing her to focus on her special training.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Ishikawa and Nohara Rin worked hard every day, leaving early and returning late, each giving their all in their training.
It was early that morning.
"Well then, I should go find Kakashi too." Leaving his house, Ishikawa didn't go to the Forest of Death but instead headed towards Kakashi's house.
He has basically completed his training in the art of spirit possession. Apart from large beasts, he can successfully possess ordinary small and medium-sized animals, whether in water, on land, or in the air.
Furthermore, it was confirmed during training that medium-sized animals would not experience a soul collapse upon his departure from possession; their souls would only weaken, turning them into mentally challenged creatures. As for large animals, they could resist Ishikawa's spirit possession!
The memory of his spirit being entangled and shattered by the giant python's soul sent chills down Ishikawa's spine.
The experiment is no longer necessary; he is now only one step away from completion.
That means using methods of summoning or sealing animals. It's unrealistic for Ishikawa to carry all the animals with him on missions!
However, while Ishikawa's ideas were beautiful, reality often falls short of expectations.
"Not here? What's Kakashi doing here so early instead of sleeping?" Ishikawa complained with a dark face after being turned away. It's a shame he got up so early to block the door.
This doesn't make sense!!
[Should I wait a couple of days? No, I have to take advantage of Rin Nohara's Chunin Exams to complete my training of this technique.] After thinking for a moment, Ishikawa immediately turned and ran.
Three days ago, it would have been difficult for him to find someone in the vast village of Konoha, but now!
A few minutes later, "Woof woof woof..."
A stray dog ran out of the bushes and came to Kakashi's doorstep, sniffing him fiercely.
[Found it! Although the scent is very faint, it's Kakashi's scent.] Sensing a familiar scent among many others, Ishikawa immediately memorized it and controlled his stray dogs to search Konoha.
Stray dogs are not the same as ninja dogs. Although they have an exceptional sense of smell, it is a pipe dream to expect them to search the entire Konoha area, which covers more than ten square kilometers!
Therefore, Ishikawa could only use this clumsy method to find any clues about Kakashi.
Unless Ishikawa could enhance the wild dogs' sense of smell with his chakra. But his spiritualization technique is too weak; he simply can't attach his own chakra to the wild dogs' noses.
However, this also has its advantages; at least it won't attract the attention of ninjas when gathering intelligence! The amount of chakra in an animal's brain is so small that it's difficult for ordinary people to detect it, except for bloodline limits like the Byakugan or Sharingan.
[This is it! The back mountain of Konoha...] As Ishikawa walked along the street leading from the village to the back mountain, he finally smelled Kakashi's scent again.
Without further pursuit, Ishikawa dispelled the spell, transforming into a beam of white and blue light and vanishing at lightning speed! Under the sunlight, the ethereal glow, as thin as a hair and as fast as lightning, was almost imperceptible…
The back mountain of Konoha.
"Drink..." Kakashi's gaze turned solemn as he activated his Lightning Release chakra. As all the cells in his body were stimulated and activated, his body was covered with crackling blue electric arcs.
The hedgehog-like man's silver-white hair stood straight up, flashing with lightning-like sharpness...
Despite this, Kakashi didn't smile at all; instead, he frowned and gave a wry smile. Although he had the Sharingan's copy and the training methods for the Lightning Release Armor, he still couldn't achieve the same level of stimulation and amplification of his nervous system as the Fourth Raikage!
The main reason for this situation is not a lack of experience, but rather chakra.
If it's just a lack of experience, he's confident he can reach the level of the Fourth Raikage within three to five years!
"However, it's not without its uses." Suddenly, Kakashi took a deep breath, his figure turning into a blue afterimage and disappearing from the spot.
Almost simultaneously, a tree a hundred meters away was struck by lightning, its trunk instantly turning into black charcoal as if struck by lightning, and it collapsed with a crash.
"Speed, defense, and even ordinary punches and kicks have all been greatly enhanced, basically more than five times the level of my previous lightning-attribute cell activation! As expected of the ninjutsu passed down through generations of Kumogakure..." Kakashi exclaimed again, quickly dispelling his lightning release and panting heavily.
The only drawback of this technique is that it consumes a lot of chakra!
"Who?" Suddenly, Kakashi turned his head sharply and looked at the tree behind him.
"It's me, Kakashi-sensei." Ishikawa wasn't surprised to be recognized. He greeted me casually, his eyes filled with excitement as he quickly stepped forward.
It's unexpected that Kakashi would be training in Lightning Release Armor here. It's both surprising and yet perfectly reasonable!
Kakashi, a master of Lightning Release, couldn't possibly ignore the Lightning Release Armor now that it was equipped! This was good, at least he now had someone to guide his training with the Lightning Release Armor…
"Ishikawa, what are you doing here?" Kakashi asked in surprise when he saw Ishikawa. He couldn't believe that it was such a coincidence that he would run into Ishikawa here.
Although this training ground was a spur-of-the-moment decision, it was deep in the forest, so how easy is it to have an unexpected encounter!
"Of course I came here specifically to find you." Ishikawa wouldn't let Kakashi suspect anything, so he went straight to the point.
"Kakashi-sensei, I'd like to learn the summoning technique you used to summon ninja dogs last time."
