Chapter 76

Kakashi frowned slightly.

Sealing techniques could be said to be the most mysterious type of ninjutsu in the ninja world, capable of doing many incredible things.

But sealing techniques were also the most dangerous.

Just like the Hyuga clan's Caged Bird, which could even directly control life and death.

Letting Shi Yuan apply a sealing technique to his own body, the hidden dangers were self-evident.

"Rest assured, I have no interest in controlling your life and death; I just want to make the transaction fair."

Shi Yuan said with disdain.

Kakashi nodded; he believed that with Shi Yuan's pride, since he said it, he would definitely do it.

But just in case.

"I hope your formula can be checked by Konoha, and that members of Konoha's Sealing Team are present when the seal is applied."

When it came to his own life, Kakashi was extremely cautious.

Shi Yuan sneered upon hearing this; his sealing formulas weren't something just anyone could understand.

"Suit yourself."

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then handed over the two ninjutsu scrolls in his hand.

"These are the ninjutsu I want to exchange with Itachi."

Shi Yuan opened them, looked, and then spread his hands.

"Chidori has no research value for me, and your father's sword technique has no great significance to me, and there isn't much room for improvement."

What he wanted to study were secret techniques and forbidden techniques, with the goal of studying the essence of ninjutsu...

Sword technique was just a form of chakra application and wouldn't be of much help to his research.

And he had just looked; the White Fang's sword technique was very complete, focusing on the cultivation of Lightning Release chakra. One just needed to cultivate according to the method, and there wasn't much room for improvement.

Kakashi's expression darkened, and he frowned.

He didn't expect this result.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out another scroll and handed it over.

"Alright, these are some thoughts I've written down over the years regarding Chidori and Lightning Release. I'd like to trouble Itachi to take a look."

Shi Yuan shook his head, but still took it and opened it to look, then looked at him with some surprise.

"Your thoughts are not bad, and the direction is correct, but they are too loose and not systematic."

"Forget it. Since Itachi are the first to come to me, and I've studied your Chidori and just looked at the White Fang's sword technique, I'll help Itachi this once."

The scroll recorded Kakashi's research on Lightning Release chakra.

It included ninjutsu like the Lightning Beast, showing that Kakashi's attainment in Lightning Release chakra was already quite high.

More importantly, Shi Yuan saw the shadow of the Purple Electricity that Kakashi would develop in the future in these records.

It actually triggered his inspiration.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Shi Yuan carefully read the contents of Kakashi's scroll, compared it with his own Lightning Release and the Mangekyo pupil technique Lightning God, and became thoughtful.

"Although the Lightning God pupil technique's Lightning Release has the effect of paralyzing the enemy, adding these thoughts of Kakashi's seems to be able to take Lightning Release a step further."

"Could it be that Purple Electricity is the superior bloodline limit of Lightning Release chakra?"

While pondering, countless flashes of inspiration appeared and collided in his mind.

[Itachi read Kakashi's Lightning Release research records, Itachi fused the pupil technique Lightning God and Lightning Body Flicker, and Itachi had an epiphany.]

[Itachi developed Secret Technique: Purple Electricity.]

[Purple Electricity: After cultivation, Itachi can master purple Lightning Release chakra. No hand seals are needed when casting, and the Lightning Release has a paralyzing effect.]

[Itachi created Secret Technique: Lightning Release: Swift (Simplified Version)!]

[Lightning Release: Swift (Simplified Version): Use Lightning Release chakra to increase the speed, quantity, and piercing power of kunai, forming a sword formation attack like a net to attack the enemy.]

[Itachi created Secret Technique: Purple Electricity (Simplified Version)]

[Purple Electricity (Simplified Version): After cultivation, Itachi can master purple Lightning Release chakra. No hand seals are needed when casting Lightning Release ninjutsu, and the power is greater.]

The information in his mind made Shi Yuan smile.

Lightning Release chakra could go a step further.

Kakashi asked hurriedly: "How is it?"

Shi Yuan said with a smile: "It's finished."

He picked up a blank scroll and began to write; what he wrote was naturally the simplified version of Purple Electricity.

Kakashi and Might Guy exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Even though Might Guy had heard a lot of intelligence about Shi Yuan, it was far less shocking than witnessing it with his own eyes.

And Kakashi sighed in frustration.

Compared to Shi Yuan, he felt that the title of genius was like mocking himself.

Soon, Shi Yuan finished writing and handed the scroll to Kakashi.

Kakashi took it and looked, and his whole body was shaken.

He didn't expect that not only were his thoughts perfected, but there was also a complete cultivation method.

It was simply the most suitable ninjutsu for him right now.

He looked at Shi Yuan and said sincerely: "Thank Itachi."

Shi Yuan shook his head, "Even without me, with your ability, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before Itachi could develop this secret technique. No need to thank me."

Now that Kakashi was without the Sharingan, he would inevitably pick up Lightning Release again.

So his words weren't false.

Kakashi shook his head and said nothing more.

After all, what he lacked most now was time.

Putting the scroll away, he looked at Might Guy and said:

"The person next to me is Might Guy, who specializes in taijutsu. I wonder if Itachi can help him?"

He knew his friend was currently researching the eighth gate of the Eight Inner Gates, the Gate of Death.

But this was a forbidden technique that meant certain death.

He didn't want his friend to die by his own forbidden technique in the future, which was why he brought Might Guy over.

"No, no, there's no need for me, right?"

Might Guy was caught off guard and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

Unlike Kakashi, although his Eight Inner Gates could be considered a family heirloom, it was also a forbidden technique included in the Scroll of Seals.

If one wanted to spread such a forbidden technique, it had to be agreed upon by the Third Hokage, or at the very least, the other party had to be notified in advance.

After all, ninjas who mastered forbidden techniques were key personnel in Konoha.

And besides the Eight Inner Gates, he had no other secret or forbidden techniques.

"Might Guy, is it? I'm very interested in your Eight Inner Gates and taijutsu. Shall we make a deal?"

Shi Yuan looked at him with great interest.

Although he had developed many secret techniques, he had none regarding taijutsu.

The reason was that the principles of taijutsu were very simple; what was needed to become stronger was a large amount of cultivation and experience.

In this regard, Might Guy's value was very precious.

Might Guy was about to speak when Kakashi nudged him hurriedly, whispering anxiously:

"Even if Itachi don't trade, I'm afraid Lord Hokage will!"

He had already understood the current situation in Konoha.

Although many people were still hesitating, since Shi Yuan had already appeared in Konoha, it already indicated the attitude of the Third Hokage and the others.

With Shi Yuan's talent, he would definitely be able to develop many secret techniques.

When that time came, the Third Hokage would definitely be unable to resist the temptation and would definitely bring out forbidden techniques at the level of the Eight Inner Gates.

Rather than letting others benefit, it would be better for Might Guy to complete the transaction, which could also give Shi Yuan a good impression.

What's more, Shi Yuan's attitude was very clear: only those who traded could learn the improved forbidden techniques, and only the first person to trade had value.

If this opportunity were given to the Third Hokage, wouldn't Might Guy be unable to learn it?

Hearing this, Might Guy was indeed hesitant.
