----------

It is a Rage Release technique, not an Explosion Release.

The latter is a special technique for explosions. Many Iwagakure shinobi have mastered it. It is powerful and can be called the king of firepower on the battlefield, especially Iwagakure's Explosion Release team, which is famous in the ninja world.

The Rage Release technique is a new bloodline developed by Ishigami Hara based on Kumogakure's Lightning Release, inspired by their Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

The main function of Lightning Release Chakra Mode is to stimulate body cells to achieve the effects of speed increase and strength enhancement. It is Kumogakure's secret technique, famous even throughout the entire world.

After fighting with Kumogakure for so long, Ishigami Hara naturally encountered many shinobi who could use Lightning Release Chakra Mode. The best of them could even develop their own variations of it. Although there are some differences, the basic functions are the same.

In Ishigami Hara's opinion, the effect of Lightning Release Chakra Mode is very good, and the concept is correct. Naturally, Ishigami Hara was ready to use this concept.

So after understanding the principle of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Ishigami Hara quickly mastered it but also found its drawbacks. That is, Lightning Release Chakra Mode has a very poor effect on his body. Although it is not completely ineffective, it cannot provide a significant qualitative gain.

As a result, Ishigami Hara was dissatisfied and wanted to develop a special technique based on this.

But in the end, Ishigami Hara thought it would be better to develop a new bloodline limit rather than a technique. After all, mastering a technique is difficult, and it also requires a process of performing the jutsu, but a bloodline can be used directly, at least for Ishigami Hara.

In this way, Rage Release, which softens Lightning Release with Water Release, was created.

Rage Release is based on Lightning Release, adding the unique fluidity of Water Release Chakra to neutralize the explosion and destructiveness of Lightning Release. It actually reaches a level of explosive power without breaking, which can act on cells and even strengthen the body.

In an open space outside the camp, Ishigami Hara stood in the center, closed his eyes slightly for a moment, and when he opened them again, his body was surrounded by electric light. His eyes were blazing white, with flashes of electricity from time to time.

Shh!

With a slight sound, Ishigami Hara's figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already outside the field, his speed so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

...

The next moment, a flash of electric light flew across the field, just like lightning, changing directions in various ways, with some angles being acute.

There was only a slight friction sound in the air as Ishigami Hara's figure seemed to multiply, appearing in multiple locations almost simultaneously.

As a result, the field was full of Ishigami Hara's figure and electric light, as if the entire open space was half covered by it.

Swish!

There was another slight sound, and Ishigami Hara reappeared on the field, bowing slightly, frowning as he looked at his hands.

"Unfortunately, it is still a little short of what I imagined."

"Rage Release is very strong, with Swift Release speed, and also has the ability to control lightning like Storm Release."

"The former is a combination of the water and wind chakra natures, while the latter is a combination of thunder and water chakra natures. However, Rage Release is different from Storm Release."

As long as the effect is still concentrated on the body, strengthening the body is the primary focus, and controlling lightning is secondary.

Also formed by the fusion of Lightning and Water Release chakra, with different focuses, the reason why Ishigami Hara did not develop Storm Release but instead developed Rage Release lies in the distinction of the Water Release chakra nature transformation.

A slight difference has caused a huge difference in the result. The combination of chakra is truly varied, which made Ishigami Hara feel intrigued.

In the field, the electric light around Ishigami Hara suddenly solidified.

Yes, it was a solidification visible to the naked eye. The electric light, which normally flashes and disappears, was now like a solid substance, fixed onto Ishigami Hara's body.

Then, Ishigami Hara stretched out his hands, put his palms together, and then released them. A long sword made entirely of lightning appeared in his palms.

It couldn't truly be called a long sword—more accurately, it was a cluster of lightning, caught in Ishigami Hara's hand with a tangible presence, like a physical object.

"The Water Release chakra nature transformation has led to the successful shaping of Lightning Release, and now the Rage Release has no lack of attack methods."

In Ishigami Hara's conception, the Rage Release can improve the physical fitness of the shinobi to the limit, pushing them to their personal peak. Then, with the aid of the lightning control method of Violent Release, it can achieve a very powerful offensive capability.

If Storm Release is the bloodline limit of the ninjutsu style, then Rage Release is the bloodline limit of the taijutsu style, each having its own advantages.

In this way, Ishigami Hara was quite satisfied with the effect of the Rage Release.

As soon as he thought about it, a panel appeared in front of him, listing various data in great detail.

[Sleep (4193/5000) Lv3: Fast sleep, deep sleep, lucid dream.]

[Wash (6028/10000) Lv4: Decontamination, cleansing, beautification, fairy-like appearance.]

[Eating (13179/15000) Lv5: Fast digestion, enhanced taste buds, iron teeth and copper teeth, stomach like a furnace, capable of swallowing everything.]

[Exercise (5046/10000) Lv4: Strengthen the body, reinforce bones and muscles, quick recovery, and agility.]

[Learning (6327/10000) Lv4: Photographic memory, enhanced comprehension, analogy, insight into the essence.]

[Scientific Research (1791/2000) Lv2: Precise operation, flashes of inspiration.]

[Cooking (1079/2058000) Lv2: Delicious, supplemental.]

[Handicraft (539/1000) Lv1: Dexterity.]

[Combat (393/1000) Lv1: Enhanced intuition.]

[Teaching (961/1000) Lv1: Tailored instruction.]

All aspects had increased significantly. Among them, learning, scientific research, and teaching had grown the fastest.

There is no need to elaborate on scientific research.

In the process of developing Rage Release, experience growth had been steady.

Learning had progressed due to being deep in the battlefield, where Ishigami Hara encountered many Kumogakure shinobi, strong or weak, always learning something new from each interaction, leading to such progress.

On the contrary, the growth in teaching surprised Ishigami Hara.

In addition to the daily teaching of Nawaki in Wood Release, more experience points came from other Konoha shinobi asking him for guidance.

Ishigami Hara never hesitated to impart knowledge.

Even if he couldn't directly teach powerful ninjutsu due to the rules of the village, he could still teach ordinary techniques.

Or, when others sought advice on ninjutsu or taijutsu, Ishigami Hara could offer guidance in simple, easy-to-understand words, enabling others to gain clarity and make significant progress.

As a result, nearly everyone in the Konoha camp had sought Ishigami Hara's advice. It was because of this that his teaching skill was only a few dozen experience points away from upgrading to Lv2.
