Chapter 75 Sasuke and Kakashi, the Legacy of the Lightning Blade
Behind Konoha Mountain, there are cliffs and precipices.
The wind was so strong that it made it impossible to open one's eyes.
Sasuke was hanging on the cliff, using only one hand, his fingers digging into the cracks in the rocks, looking extremely pained.
But he did not back down and persevered through gritted teeth.
Hang in there.
Kakashi sat atop the cliff, engrossed in reading "Icha Icha Paradise."
"This is not only about training your finger strength, but also about training your will."
"If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship, how can you master that technique?"
Sasuke's sweat streamed down his forehead and even dripped into his eyes, stinging him painfully, but he did not let go.
Over the past month, similar grueling training sessions have become commonplace.
"Come on up."
Kakashi closed the book.
Sasuke seemed to hear the sound of liberation, and with a burst of strength, he quickly flipped over and leaped to the top of the cliff.
He was also panting heavily at this point, clearly exhausted.
"Sasuke."
Kakashi looked at the stubborn boy.
"Your Lightning Release Chakra Mode is good; it can comprehensively enhance physical abilities."
"But the cost is too high. Moreover, we lack a method to deliver a fatal blow."
Kakashi extended his right hand, as if to begin demonstrating some kind of technique.
"Watch closely."
Blue arcs of electricity pulsed in my palm, growing brighter and more piercing, like the chirping of thousands of birds.
This is the real Raichi, and it sounds like a thousand birds singing.
Kakashi's figure vanished instantly, leaving only a blue streak of light.
A huge rock in the distance was instantly pierced, sending debris flying and leaving a charred hole in the center of the rock.
"This is the Raicher."
Kakashi flicked his hand, dispelling the lightning.
"Concentrate your Lightning Release chakra at one point and combine it with a lightning-fast thrust."
"It possesses destructive power that can penetrate everything, and can even cut off lightning."
Sasuke stared at the pierced boulder with burning eyes; this was the power he desired.
Extreme speed and destructive power, that's it. Although I've almost mastered the Lightning Release technique at Roy's shop.
He still longed for this kind of aggressive lightning-attribute combat skill, after all, it also had an extreme violent aesthetic, which could effectively strike enemies on the battlefield.
"I want to learn."
Sasuke did not hesitate.
"You can learn if you want."
Kakashi pointed to his left eye.
"But this technique has a fatal flaw: it's too fast."
"So fast that even the caster himself can't see the road ahead."
"This is what's known as the tunneling effect."
"If the enemy takes the opportunity to counterattack, you won't have time to dodge at all."
"so……"
Kakashi pulled up his headband, revealing his Sharingan.
"This technique can only be perfectly mastered by combining it with the dynamic vision of the Sharingan."
"That's why only someone like you with the Sharingan is qualified to inherit this technique."
In the days that followed, Sasuke began a frantic training regimen, gathering chakra.
Changes in nature, changes in form, and spikes.
Failed again and again, and then failed once more.
Sometimes, if you don't control your chakra well, it will dissipate before you even hit the target.
Sometimes the speed is too fast, and you can't brake in time, so you crash into rocks and get a head injury.
Sasuke's arms were covered in scars, but he didn't stop.
Whenever I want to give up.
The image of that man, Uchiha Itachi, would appear in his mind.
The man who wiped out his entire clan in the dungeon, yet spared his life.
However, in the instance, in order to protect him, he was willing to bear all the sins.
And Orochimaru's disdainful gaze.
Thinking of these people, he felt resentful. If they didn't have real strength, would the night of annihilation never happen again?
He dared not gamble. Although Roy's help this time had averted the problem, what would he do in the future?
It's always most reassuring to have your destiny in your own hands.
"It's still a long way off."
"I'm not bad!"
Thinking of this, Sasuke roared and charged toward his target once more.
The Sharingan with its three tomoe spun wildly.
The world seemed to slow down in his eyes.
The movement of the wind, the falling leaves, and even the dust particles in the air are clearly visible.
"I saw it!"
Sasuke spotted a falling leaf and predicted its trajectory.
Lightning surged in his hand, and a thousand birds sang in unison.
The blue lightning ripped through the air, severing the leaf, and plunged into the cave ahead.
There was no hitting a wall or going out of control; this was a perfect strike.
"call……"
Sasuke pulled out his arm, looked at the smoking hole, and smiled slightly.
"Not bad, not bad, you're quite talented."
Kakashi emerged from behind the tree.
"You now have the same weapons as me."
"The inheritance of Raikiri is now complete. You can also call this technique Chidori."
Nighttime, around the campfire.
The master and apprentice sat together, and Kakashi handed Sasuke a grilled fish.
"Eat up, replenish your energy."
Sasuke took the grilled fish, took a bite, and felt that it was a little hot, but the taste was not bad.
"Sasuke."
Kakashi looked at the firelight.
He suddenly spoke.
"Are you still filled with hatred?"
Sasuke was stunned for a moment.
He knew what Kakashi was asking.
Do you hate Itachi? Do you hate Konoha?
"hatred."
Sasuke swallowed the fish.
"I only hate my own weakness."
"If I don't hate, I won't have the motivation to become stronger."
Kakashi sighed.
"Hate can be a driving force, but it can also be a poison. Don't let it consume you."
Kakashi pointed to the black earring on Sasuke's ear.
"That store manager..."
"Although somewhat mysterious, they do things unpredictably."
"But what he gave you was indeed helping you."
"The earring will help you stay alert and prevent someone like Orochimaru from taking advantage of you."
Sasuke touched the earring; the cool touch made him feel at ease.
"I know."
Sasuke looked at Kakashi in the firelight.
This teacher, who usually acts unseriously, has actually always cared about him.
"I not only want to gain greater power, but I also want to live better than anyone else."
"I don't care who I lose to, but I don't want to lose to the bottom of the class."
Kakashi smiled.
"It seems you've found your path, that's good."
The two stopped talking.
They are no longer just teacher and student, but more like partners who understand each other and can support one another.
One month later, the Chunin Exams finals will take place.
Early morning, at the main gate of Konoha.
Naruto walked over.
His black combat uniform was somewhat damaged, a result of special training.
But he is in good spirits.
Sasuke also arrived, carrying the Kusanagi sword, his expression cold and stern.
The two met at the door and exchanged no further pleasantries.
"Did you learn it?"
Naruto asked.
"certainly."
Sasuke extended his right hand, and a flash of blue lightning disappeared.
Although it was only for a moment, that aura made Naruto feel a stinging sensation on his skin.
"And you?"
Sasuke countered with a question.
Naruto smiled and raised his fist.
The invisible chakra swirled in his palm, already possessing terrifying power.
You'll find out then.
Naruto kept everyone in suspense.
The two exchanged a glance.
They bumped fists, a promise between two strong individuals.
"Let's go."
Naruto turned around and looked at the arena in the distance, where it was already bustling with noise.
Famous figures from various countries, shadows from various villages, and countless spectators are all waiting for this grand event.
"Go tell them that Konoha's twin stars have arrived."
Sasuke immediately followed.
"Today's stage belongs to us."
