MSIN: Chapter 38 [Shout out Shaquille_Oatmeal]
---
"Kushina-sensei, you look a bit rough." Haori said to Kushina with a smile.
He looked even worse. As he spoke, he was pulling out the various metal objects embedded in his body.
His reckless charge had attracted a barrage of ranged attacks. While he'd dodged some, many had hit him.
His white hair was stained with blood, and the mask on his face was half-shattered, revealing his forehead protector and one eye.
Blood was flowing from his wounds.
Although Kushina looked a bit rough, she seemed fine.
Relieved, Haori took off his outer armor and tossed it aside, revealing the inner layer.
The outer cloak had become heavy and soaked, stained with his own blood and that of his enemies.
Kushina was wearing her Leaf mission uniform. Her bright red hair stood out against the night sky.
Kushina was already enveloped in a coat of orange Nine-Tails chakra. Five tails emerged behind her, indicating she had already tapped into the Nine-Tails' power.
Her face was also covered in blood, and the three squads of ANBU tasked with protecting her were all dead.
Upon seeing Haori, Kushina's expression turned unreadable, but it wasn't a pleasant sight.
Seeing Haori's state, she knew he had rushed back from the front lines.
"Haori, you shouldn't have come back here."
"Maybe, but I'm here now."
Haori replied, his smile unwavering. It seemed his mood was still good?
But then, the lightning aura around him flickered twice before completely extinguishing. His chakra was no longer enough to sustain the lightning cloak.
It meant he was out of chakra.
Normally, when a ninja runs out of chakra, they also lose the physical strength to continue fighting. But Haori was different. He had set a limit for himself, usually only using 80% of his chakra. In other words, he had a reserve. If he pushed himself to the limit, he could still squeeze out some chakra.
This reserve was to ensure he never lost the ability to move.
The Tailed Beast was right beside him.
Kushina was already pushing herself to the limit just suppressing Shukaku.
Countless shinobi were guarding her.
Haori could no longer use any jutsu.
In terms of power, the ratio was 2000 to 500. Leaf was at a significant disadvantage. And this headquarters location also had a large number of non-combatants... Leaf would be overwhelmed soon.
"Haori, it seems you've run out of chakra too. Stay by my side." Kushina said.
It would be safer for Haori to stay with her. If he tried to escape, a chakra-depleted ninja's survival rate on this battlefield would be close to zero.
But Haori shook his head. "I'm going to activate Chidori Flow, Stage Two."
Kushina was taken aback by Haori's words. Chidori Flow, Stage Two? What was that? She had never heard of it.
"Chidori Flow, Stage Two? What's the difference from Chidori Flow?" Even though the ninjas on both sides of the battlefield were fighting with their brains splattered, and the situation for Leaf was dire, Kushina still asked.
"There's a big difference."
"Okay, what's the difference?"
"The difference is the sound of the electricity."
"Huh?"
"Yes, the difference is the sound of the electricity. Chidori Flow is a bird's chirp. Chidori Flow, Stage Two, is 'bzzzt'." Haori said with a seemingly serious expression, completely oblivious to Kushina's reaction.
What difference could a different sound effect possibly make?!
But Haori's following actions told her that a different sound effect actually made a huge difference.
"From now on, Shiraishi Haori, the ninja, will be temporarily out of business..." Haori muttered in a voice only he could hear.
Yes, the guess was confirmed. Haori's A-rank skill was called ElectroMaster.
(ShixT9: Sounds like a dj name)
Why was he so adaptable to lightning chakra? Because he had gotten used to being electrocuted. His body was naturally adapted to electricity.
Why was he able to avoid most genjutsu at the beginning? Because he used an electromagnetic shield. In a way, genjutsu and psychological manipulation have some similarities.
Why did he have such advanced shuriken throwing skills? Because he could always adjust the trajectory of his projectiles, and before throwing, he could instantly calculate the trajectory.
Why did he have some detection abilities? Because he could always identify the bioelectrical signals around him.
Why did he have such high comprehension, learning, and memory abilities? Because he had undergone intense brain development.
Honestly, compared to a power like ElectroMaster, he'd rather have something like a DEATHNOTE, but that was obviously impossible...
Haori was a ninja first and foremost. Fighting like a ninja was his best choice, but the current situation didn't allow him to hold back anymore.
Kushina didn't feel any chakra fluctuations from Haori.
But in the darkness, blue and white electric arcs, far thicker than those he generated when using Chidori, erupted from Haori's body. A sound of electricity, far more piercing than Chidori, began to crackle around him.
An electric field rose from his feet.
The hair he had tied back suddenly burst loose, his white hair standing up against gravity. To describe this state, it was somewhere between Killua using Lightning Palm and Kyousuke Hyousuke with his restraints removed.
One of his palms was pressed against the ground, and if you listened closely, you could hear a rustling sound in the darkness.
He pulled out the Iron Sand Sword from the ground.
The high-frequency vibration hummed even more intensely, stimulating the eardrums!
At this point, the Sand shinobi's attacks were becoming indiscriminate. In order to inflict a devastating blow on Leaf's headquarters, they didn't care about their own casualties anymore.
More importantly, they had stumbled upon a second strategic target by accident: the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki!
No matter how high Leaf's secrecy level was regarding the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, some information always leaked out.
For example, the current Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki was a member of the Uzumaki clan.
Maybe if Kushina had just stood there, facing the Kazekage, he wouldn't have known she was the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. But the moment her Uzumaki chakra manifested, her identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki was revealed.
