Chapter 137: Second Stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode (Edited)

Realizing that Minato really didn't know anything, the ninja in the mission room opened his eyes wide and looked at Minato strangely, "This news came from the front lines of the battlefield, didn't you hear anything? Naito just managed to wipe out the entire battlefield, killing hundreds of Iwagakure ninja without even being scratched!"

"He should be promoted to Jounin by now, so you'd better call him Naito-sama from now on!"

Having said that, the Mission Hall ninja couldn't help but show a hint of admiration on his face.

He was the ninja who had stopped Naito and Might Duy from carrying out that mission. He never imagined that Naito would have become so powerful in the blink of an eye!

He really admired Naito.

Hearing these words, Minato seemed to have been struck by lightning.

Naito... He did what?!

When he came to his senses, his expression was full of surprise and disbelief!

Naito was already so powerful that he could decide the outcome of the war by himself!

What a shock!

Initially, after meeting Naito for the last time, Minato was thinking of working harder to close the gap between the two, but he didn't expect that before long, Naito would simply make the gap between them even wider!

At the same time, Minato couldn't help but think about that Anbu who had wiped out the Iwagakure surprise attack squad.

At that moment, everything became clear in his mind, the figure of the Anbu matched Naito perfectly.

That Anbu was Naito!!!!

....

On the street of Konoha, Kushina was walking aimlessly.

Every time she passed by Naito's house, it seemed to her that Naito's figure was there, but it was just an illusion of her own imagination.

With a small sigh, Kushina walked past Naito's house.

But at that moment, a hand gently patted her shoulder.

Kushina suddenly showed a bit of surprise and turned around, but when she saw the figure behind her, her expression dimmed, but she still growled, "You're being naughty again, Mei."

Uzumaki Mei, who was standing behind Kushina, flashed a smile full of pride at Kushina and said, "I have some news about Naito, do you want to hear it?"

"Yes!", Kushina nodded.

Mei smiled and then told her everything, and immediately saw Kushina's eyes widened with surprise on her face.

Mei said, "I had the same expression when I first heard this news, in fact, I couldn't even believe it!"

"No, I believe it!"

Kushina took a deep breath and slowly suppressed her astonishment, then said very seriously, "I just didn't think I would reach this level so fast."

"Ashura of Konoha.... This nickname fits you well."

The corners of Kushina's mouth lifted slightly as she smiled beautifully, and her eyes lit up with happiness and anticipation.

...

Rain Country, Konoha Camp.

Because they had defeated Iwagakure with very few casualties, the ninja of the Konoha Camp began to move deeper into the Rain Country.

However, they did not go too far into the Rain Country, but set up camp some distance from the center of the Rain Country, where the 'Ninja Demigod', Hanzo of the Salamander, resided.

The center of the reformed camp remained the command center.

Surrounding the command center were the highest ranking Elite Jounins, namely Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and a few other Elite Jounins, of which only a handful were in their tents.

In addition to these, there was also a tent for an ordinary Jounin, but no Elite Jounin was against this.

Because that Jounin was the Ashura of Konoha, Naito!

Yes, after that war, Naito's status rose, he skipped the ranks of Chuunin and Tokubetsu Jounin and became a Jounin directly.

This promotion was so unbelievable, before, when Dai rose to Tokubetsu Jounin, this caused shock to countless ninja.

But this time, everyone was shocked, no one could believe this!

However, no one objected, everyone saw what Naito was capable of!

At this moment, in a huge tent.

Naito was sitting quietly, there was a table in front of him, it was made of rock and connected directly to the earth, it was obvious that some user of the Earth Jutsu had made it.

On the table, there was an open scroll.

This scroll was the one Orochimaru gave to Naito, and it was the method to train the second stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode. As for Orochimaru's purpose, Naito still could not understand it.

He studied the information on the scroll back and forth many times, but there was nothing wrong with it, all the information seemed accurate and was confirmed to be true.

Naito looked at the scroll and said confidently, "It's really strange, but with my current strength, there's no need to worry about Orochimaru, as long as I'm stronger than him, I should be fine."

After shaking his head, Naito put aside the matter of Orochimaru for the time being, and then began to study the second stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode.

Although Konoha defeated Iwagakure and achieved an unprecedented victory, there were still Amegakure and Sunagakure on the battlefield, so local battles were still frequent.

After Naito returned to the camp, he never left.

Naito was no longer a special Anbu, and he no longer needed to perform any Anbu department missions, he just needed to accept normal tasks as an ordinary Jounin of Konoha.

And with Naito's current state, even though his rank was an ordinary Jounin, there were almost no tasks that could fall on Naito.

Perhaps Naito's strength still did not reach Sakumo's level, but the two names; White Fang of Konoha and Ashura of Konoha, are very famous throughout the ninja world alike!

These two names represented the entire Konoha army, which made Naito's status in this war become the same as Sakumo's, and nothing could shake this fact easily.

Thus, there is no doubt that this was the best time for Naito to become even stronger.

"In the first stage, the Lightning Element Chakra Mode uses chakra to stimulate the skin cells and strengthen its surface, only a small part penetrates the skin and stimulates the flesh."

"But in the second stage, it goes completely through the skin and enters the flesh and blood inside the body, thus stimulating and tempering the muscles of the body"

"As for the third stage... Perhaps it is to use the Lightning Element Chakra to attach it to the surface of the body, thus improving defense and speed," After reading the contents of the scroll again and muttering a few words, Naito closed the scroll and began to practice according to the instructions on the scroll.

The second stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode was not as easy as the first, and the progress of the training became a little slow.

It was not that his body strength was not up to the standards of this stage, but that his amount of chakra was not enough.

Naito's amount of chakra was similar to that of a Jounin and was enough to train the first stage of the Lightning Element Chakra Mode, but the second stage... The second stage of Lightning Element Chakra Mode could only be trained when one possessed Kage level chakra!
