MSIN: Chapter 90
Yamanaka Aoba, Sarutobi Asuma, and Yūhi Kurenai, upon arriving at the battlefield where Haori was, understood why Haori had requested that the battlefield be divided when the battle began.
He had also given specific instructions that the battleground should be as far apart as possible.
Looking at what was happening before them, they didn't want to imagine the consequences of being caught within the range of this jutsu.
Previously, the rain had gradually thinned. But after Haori unleashed his Lightning Release: Qilin, the rain immediately intensified again, returning to its original torrential downpour.
And the terrain, which had been open and flat, was completely changed.
The ground was like glass, but in the center, it was as if a giant hammer had slammed into it…
The ground was not only shattered into chunks, but it also had vertical undulations. The ground as a whole had collapsed inward from a central point, the deepest point about 8 to 10 meters lower than the surrounding ground.
The Lightning Release had disappeared, but in its flow, it had created cracks of varying depths and widths on the ground. Some were only an inch deep and narrow, while others were too deep and wide to describe. In any case, because of the terrain, the downpour first gathered on the ground, and then it flowed quickly through those cracks into the ground.
The forest on the outermost perimeter had scorched black marks from being burned. As for the trees closest to the center of the jutsu's range, it was even worse—the wood fibers of the entire tree had been completely carbonized.
The power and difficulty of training and using the Lightning Release: Qilin jutsu could be broadly classified as S-rank. But in reality, the power of the jutsu itself varied each time it was unleashed.
In short, it was related to the weather at the time.
For example, the power of the Qilin when using Fire Release to gather thunderclouds and then unleashing it was difficult to match the scale and power of naturally formed thunderclouds. This was because there was a difference in the level of energy aggregation. The weather caused by a ninja's jutsu was naturally not as grand as naturally formed weather.
A typical lightning strike consists of multiple components. But Lightning Release: Qilin clearly concentrated all those layered energy releases into a single burst.
Before unleashing Qilin, Haori had created an electric field to gather energy. Although he couldn't make precise calculations, Haori roughly estimated the energy contained in the jutsu from another perspective.
The peak voltage of Lightning Release: Qilin when it was unleashed was about 500 million volts. The average current was between 150,000 and 250,000 amps…
Based on this range of values, the energy released by this jutsu could be considered a small nuclear explosion in this world.
Ignoring the concentrated attack power, just calculating the energy released in this attack in terms of current and voltage, it was basically more than the maximum energy released by a single electric shock.
This was a "real lightning strike" in another sense.
Of course, Lightning Release: Qilin, based on natural lightning, was too crude in its attack and release method. Ultimately, it was focused on area damage or mass destruction, not a single breakthrough. This couldn't compare to Haori's precise control of his own abilities.
Low energy consumption, high damage. The only drawback was that it was too limited in its use. Ultimately, it was a jutsu that could only be used occasionally in special situations.
Well, you can't expect this kind of jutsu to be instantly released anytime, anywhere.
Using Qilin to deal with this enemy was indeed a bit wasteful and overkill. But considering the mission requirements at the moment, Haori couldn't afford to spend too much time in battle. And this enemy's movements and actions were too agile. He was like a flea, which somewhat countered Haori's usual techniques.
So…
Q: How do you quickly get rid of fleas on a stray cat?
A: Electrocute the cat along with the fleas.
Haori was currently checking the twelve-tenths cooked (?) ninja to see if there was anything left, hoping to find some valuable information.
But this was impossible. Reality was harsh… literally harsh. Carbonized flesh and remaining bones, this was a unique kind of black and white.
Besides being charred, what other characteristics did this ninja have, what other value did he have?
Could it be that Fūma clan ninjas were extra charred after being electrocuted?
Haori didn't find any information on him. To be honest, this didn't anger Haori… If the enemy had been fine after taking that blow, that would have angered him.
"Haori, this… was it caused by your jutsu?"
After the three arrived beside Haori, Asuma asked hesitantly.
If Haori answered "yes," it would be too depressing. They were all graduates from the same class, right? With this kind of gameplay, could they still have fun together in the future?
"It's sort of. Did you notice the flash in the sky? I just used Lightning Release to draw the lightning down from the sky. So, the attack effect was exaggerated, but it wasn't entirely my jutsu." Haori explained.
It seemed to make sense, and the principle was also exaggerated? No problem?
There was a big problem. You can't just draw lightning down from the sky like that?
When Haori was giving instructions earlier, he had reminded his teammates to ignore any flashes of light in the sky.
Of course, he hadn't realized at the time that he would definitely use Qilin. But this kind of weather was indeed very suitable for using this jutsu, so he gave a reminder.
Well, there was indeed a flash of light in the sky later, but no one expected it to be that bright, right?
During the conversation, Haori had decisively abandoned his search for the black and white.
His reason for giving up was simple. In a three-on-one situation, Asuma and the others had captured the other ninja alive.
Yamanaka Aoba was carrying the enemy.
"A live capture? He was under genjutsu?" Haori asked Aoba.
He nodded.
Capturing an enemy alive was more difficult than killing them. To do this, the enemy was just a Chunin. And in a three-on-one situation, all three Leaf Village ninjas had suffered injuries to varying degrees.
The most serious was Asuma. His right shoulder was still bleeding continuously.
Then, you could see that Aoba also had multiple cuts.
But because he was protecting his comrades and he wasn't a close-combat ninja, Yūhi Kurenai, the only one left, was unscathed.
"No, but how did you survive in an attack that combined such power and range, a Lightning Release attack?"
Asuma immediately asked a new question.
"Now isn't the time for that. We have to evacuate from here immediately… The commotion just now was too loud…"
Although they were still in the Land of Fire, they were already a stone's throw from the Land of Rain. Not to mention the sound. Visually speaking, Lightning Release: Qilin was a giant flashbang hanging in the sky. If there were any ninjas around, whether they were friend or foe, they would definitely notice it.
Although it was raining and thundering now, as long as they had brains, they wouldn't mistake something with such a strange form for naturally formed lightning.
So, don't bother with small talk now. For the team's safety, running away was the top priority.
