This sheer destructive power is indeed gratifying.
However, he was also keenly aware of the gap.
Simply relying on the physical enhancement brought about by this initial stage of "Lightning Release Chakra Mode," the resulting power burst is still far from matching Tsunade's unparalleled "Super Strength Technique."
But Gen Takuno was not discouraged, because he understood that the inherent logic of these two forces was actually not contradictory:
Lightning Release Chakra Mode utilizes Lightning Release energy to penetrate and stimulate cells throughout the body, thereby achieving a comprehensive enhancement of physical strength.
The core secret of the Super Strength Technique lies in the extremely precise control of chakra, which can be compressed into the point of contact between the fist and palm and explode instantly.
"Therefore, these two not only do not conflict, but have great potential for integration!" Yuan Tuoye's eyes gleamed.
Compared to forcibly combining superhuman strength with the dangerous and domineering "Eight Gates," the difficulty of fusing lightning release amplification with superhuman strength is simply insignificant.
He was well aware of the Eight Gates Formation, especially the chakra released when attacking the rear gates, which was like a wild horse, violent and difficult to control. Its operating principle was almost the complete opposite of the superhuman strength technique that emphasized ultimate control.
His previous successful integrations were at best merely borrowing the characteristics of the first two gates of the Eight Gates to remove the shackles of the human body, pushing basic physical strength to the extreme, and then using the techniques of superhuman strength to compress and unleash this power.
If an even more dangerous door were forcibly opened, the control of superhuman strength, which requires extremely high chakra manipulation, would be impossible under the onslaught of that energy surge.
"Perhaps only those beings who can perfectly tame the berserk chakra of the late-stage Eight Gates Formation can unleash monstrous strength in dire situations—" Gen Takuno shook his head slightly as he thought of that almost impossible and demanding condition.
"Instead of gambling on this slim hope, it's more practical to find another way."
Using auxiliary ninjutsu that require less skill to control while the Eight Gates are fully open, to interfere with or guide the enemy and create an opportunity for one's ultimate punch, is a more feasible approach.
After all, in this state, no offensive ninjutsu could possibly be as powerful as his fists, which carried the power of the Eight Gates.
Future ideas can be left for future experiments.
At this moment, the key is to practice the fusion of Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Super Strength Technique!
Yuan Tuoye quickly gathered his thoughts, his hands skillfully forming hand seals, and earth-escape techniques surged, instantly smoothing out the previously collapsed crater.
He steadied himself again, took a deep breath of the crisp air, and focused intently.
The Lightning Release chakra was first circulated throughout the body, crackling with electricity and surging with power; at the same time, the complex and exquisite techniques of manipulating superhuman strength were silently applied and superimposed upon it.
"drink!"
With a low growl, the fusion fist slammed down a second time!
"!!!"
This time, the earth let out an even more mournful groan!
The terrifying shockwave spread out in a ring, and the violent tremors not only shook the ground, but even the foundations of the distant, majestic snow-capped mountains seemed to be shaken by this earth-shattering punch, with faint, heart-palpitating cracking sounds emanating from them!
A huge, visible crack spread out from the fist mark.
"Not enough!" Yuan Tuono's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. Without hesitation, he shouted, "Open the door! Open the door!"
Two invisible shackles within the body were shattered! The valves restricting brain function and bodily functions were opened, the body's potential was fully unleashed, and basic strength instantly leaped to a perfect state of 100%!
The third strike, imbued with double amplification and 100% of his physical strength, came crashing down!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
This impact was like a heavenly drum beating on an icy plain!
The terrifying tremors reached their peak, and the ground beneath their feet instantly shattered, forming huge, radially deep valleys.
The snow-capped mountain in the distance, which had withstood several impacts, finally succumbed to its strain. With a deafening roar, millions of tons of snow collapsed, forming a terrifying snowstorm that cascaded down from the mountain peak!
Yuan Tuoye ignored this, his gaze fixed only on the scorched earth beneath his feet, which was completely unrecognizable and looked as if it had been struck by a meteorite.
A look of satisfaction finally appeared on his face.
"Kage-level—" he muttered to himself, his tone filled with absolute confidence, "From now on, no so-called Kage-level powerhouse will dare to confront this pure destructive power head-on! Not even the Third Raikage, renowned for his Lightning Release Chakra Mode and the strongest shield!"
He was certain that only someone whose strength surpassed that of a regular Kage and reached the "Super Kage" level could withstand such an attack!
But he was not disappointed, because his envisioned blueprint was far from complete.
The last and crucial piece of the puzzle has yet to be mastered: Sage Mode!
In Gen Takuno's deduction, the all-around enhancement brought by Sage Chakra—sensory perception, strength, speed, defense—
Each one can be perfectly integrated into his existing power system.
When he successfully unleashed the full power of his body, granted by enhanced Lightning Release, monstrous strength, and the Eight Gates, and then combined it with the immense power of natural energy—
"When that punch was thrown—" Yuan Tuoye's eyes seemed to blaze with fire, "Even a peerless expert at the Super Kage level would never dare to lightly parry it! At that moment, my strength might have reached the Super Kage level in some respects!"
The tests to increase strength and speed were successfully completed, and the results were incredibly encouraging for him.
However, besides overwhelming power and lightning-fast speed, he still needs to verify one last crucial attribute that determines life and death.
That extreme reaction ability, enough to capture and respond in the ever-changing fierce battle, that core element that determines whether an attack can land on the enemy, is neural reflex!
He was going to test whether his nerve reflexes were improved under Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
In combat, speed is not always the best. When your speed exceeds your reaction speed, it is very likely to backfire.
Just like Kakashi Hatake's Lightning Release: Chidori, it is an absolute double-edged sword, and its power is indeed extremely strong.
However, when the speed granted by Lightning Release exceeds the limits of physical reaction, each fatal thrust is equivalent to locking oneself onto a predetermined trajectory, possessing the power of thunder but losing the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances.
If the enemy discovers this point, anticipates and dodges, and then launches a counterattack, even the strongest ninjutsu may instantly become a fatal flaw.
Later, Kakashi Hatake was able to truly control Chidori entirely thanks to his Sharingan, which allowed him to see through everything and bridge the gap in his reaction time.
At this moment, Gen Takuno is facing a similar test.
Could his sudden burst of astonishing speed also become a shackle that limits him? If speed exceeds the limits of reaction, it is like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins, not only impossible to control but also a burden.
He desperately needed a definite answer as to how much of his agility would be lost under full-speed impact.
If there is any damage, then he must find a delicate balance point, a speed threshold that can maximize the power of speed without losing control or being forced into a dangerous "one-way" straight charge.
However, testing pure reaction speed is by no means a simple contest of speed; it requires a sophisticated and unfamiliar testing environment.
Yuan Tuoye took a deep breath, his hands flying rapidly, his ten fingers precisely weaving into hand seals.
Pure chakra flowed from his palm into the frozen earth beneath his feet. The land, shattered and riddled with jagged ravines and craters by his powerful strike, began to writhe, heal, and reshape itself as if it were alive.
Amidst the roaring sound, the cracks were filled, the swirling soil was smoothed out, and moments later, the ground beneath our feet was unexpectedly flat.
But this was only the prelude. Yuan Tuoye did not stop. He continued to form hand seals, and the surging Wood Release chakra within his body was completely ignited and erupted violently.
"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"
The moment the words fell, it was as if the heart of the earth was awakened!
Centered on Gentsuke, the ice and permafrost within a radius of several kilometers burst open violently!
The dormant soil was torn apart by unprecedented vitality, and countless tender shoots broke through the soil with the immense power of the primeval forest.
Ignoring the biting cold and endless snow around them, they grew wildly upwards in an almost frenzied manner.
spread.
The sounds of branches twisting, tangling, and growing upwards intertwine to create a vibrant symphony of life.
In a short period of time, a primeval forest with dense shade and towering ancient trees abruptly replaced the original monotonous vast snowfield. The lush vitality appeared dazzling and eerie against the deathly pale background, like a miracle of life blooming on the ice field.
Yuan Tuoye arrived at the edge of the forest. His gaze swept over the dense forest he had created with his own hands, and a trace of regret crossed his mind; the area was still a bit cramped.
However, unless you need to sprint through the entire area in a straight line, the complexity and cramped space of this forest make it an excellent testing ground for reaction and turning agility.
The next key step is to create a "dangerous" environment that is completely unknown to oneself.
Yuan Tuoye formed hand seals again, and with a few soft sounds, several puffs of white smoke exploded around him, revealing several shadow clones that looked exactly like him.
Without a word, the clones understood and scattered into the lush, dense forest to get to work.
The main body remained in place to wait, while the shadow clones meticulously set up various unexpected small mechanisms in every corner of the forest, among the branches, and in the shadows.
Whether it's a trigger-activated rope trap, a concealed chakra detonation tag, or a kunai device fired from a tricky angle—the contents and location must be kept secret from the true person until the very last moment.
If he had known beforehand, any test of instantaneous reaction ability would have been completely superfluous, like taking off your pants to fart.
He was taking advantage of the fact that the shadow clones only transmit memories back to the original body after they are deactivated to perfectly ensure the "blind test" nature of this test and simulate the instinctive reaction when encountering real unknown danger.
When the busy shadow clones finally regrouped in front of Gen Takuno, they indicated that the mechanism had been set up.
Yuan Tuoye took a deep breath of the crisp forest air, his eyes sharp as knives, and strode towards the green mechanical forest that was created for him and was full of unknown challenges.
Stepping into this dense forest, the tall, lush ancient trees, almost blocking out the sky, form a heavy green dome, through which light struggles to pass, eventually turning into thin beams of light and endless shadows.
The air was filled with the unique, pungent smell of decaying leaves mixed with cold earth, and the surrounding silence only served to highlight the danger lurking within.
Yuan Tuoye's sharp gaze swept across the dark surroundings, and he suddenly let out a low shout.
His chakra erupted instantly, accompanied by a crackling, ear-piercing thunderclap. Violent and dazzling blue arcs of electricity surged from his limbs and bones, instantly solidifying on his body surface and transforming into a suit of lightning armor that shone with a dangerous light!
He clenched his fists, clearly feeling the transformation brought about by being tightly enveloped by this layer of energy armor.
The muscle fibers seemed to be infused with endless power, and every step was filled with explosive kinetic energy.
What's even more remarkable is that this lightning armor is far more than just an amplifier of speed and power; its robust energy structure itself is like the most durable alloy armor, capable of protecting him from fatal cuts and heavy blows.
This is precisely the source of the Shadow Clones' confidence in setting up various traps in the forest. Under the powerful protection of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, most traps, even if they manage to touch him, will only cause insignificant superficial injuries.
Thanks to his powerful regenerative abilities, these minor injuries heal rapidly at a visible speed, even before he can raise his hand to use medical ninjutsu.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the tension before the first test, Yuan Tuoye suddenly started moving, like a blue lightning bolt tearing through the darkness of the forest, launching a violent sprint into the depths of the forest!
His presence was like throwing a boulder into a still pond. In an instant, the tranquility of this desolate forest was utterly shattered!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of air being torn apart was as dense as the wailing of ghosts. Countless hidden kunai and shuriken transformed into a sky full of dark light, shooting towards him from extremely tricky angles, weaving a cold net of death metal!
"Boom! Boom!"
Almost simultaneously, the pre-planted detonators were rapidly detonated, and violent flames and shockwaves exploded at close range, with scorching air waves carrying sharp fragments sweeping across like a raging torrent!
Even more remarkably, the branches of some giant trees have been meticulously modified into mechanisms! They snap back like giant springs, or sweep across like the whip tail of a prehistoric beast, carrying heavy wind pressure that tears through the air, viciously lashing at the uninvited guest!
Faced with this sudden, all-encompassing, and saturated attack, Gen Takuno's eyes narrowed slightly.
His mind clearly mapped out the trajectory of each kunai, the shape of each flame, and the landing point of each giant log. He saw it!
However—his body seemed to be bound by invisible ropes! Just as his clear combat awareness was about to control his limbs to dodge, his body had already passed the optimal dodging space in a high-speed sprint!
Between vision and action, there exists that damned, potentially fatal, microsecond-level delay! This is exactly the reality of his fears.
But Gen Takuno was by no means someone who would sit idly by and wait for his death.
"It's not too late to hide!"
He forcefully propelled his body forward, unleashing an incredible momentary twist and jump during the high-speed forward sprint!
However, forcibly dodging in such a dense attack and complex environment ultimately came at a price.
When he finally rushed back to the edge of the forest like a cannonball, and his figure emerged in the dim light, his once dazzling lightning armor had dimmed considerably.
The clothing was torn in many places by a sharp object, revealing the cut flesh underneath, from which thin lines of blood seeped out.
Several pieces of clothing were charred and torn, covered with burn marks from the explosion, and a faint burning pain could be felt.
Although these injuries appeared extremely minor under the protection of the Thunder Armor and his self-healing constitution, they were like bright red marks, pointing with unmistakable clarity to a crucial issue that he could not ignore.
His reflexes couldn't keep up with the high speeds granted by Lightning Release and Wind Release!
