Chapter 72: Level 10 Lightning Chakra Nature Transformation!

In the midst of battle, warmth is always fleeting.

Learning from Hyūga Mio that he had slept for three whole days, Fujinaka Genma was somewhat surprised.

“Even cheating can’t match someone born with a thick skull…”

Fujinaka Genma couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

“How’s the battlefield situation now?”

Gathering his thoughts, Fujinaka Genma asked.

“The Mist ninja have been retreating steadily; if Itachi hadn’t woken up, we’d have had to move Itachi again.”

Hyūga Mio smiled.

She then went on to describe the situations of Ebisu and Guy.

Though Konoha had won a major victory and the Mist ninja were retreating, it didn’t change the fact that Konoha’s forces were still outnumbered.

So Ebisu and Guy had both been temporarily assigned to new teams for missions and hadn’t stayed behind.

So had Uchiha Shisui and Hyūga Hizashi.

“Asuma and the others came to see Itachi too.”

Hyūga Mio mentioned Asuma and the rest, detailing everything that had happened over the past three days.

Fujinaka Genma nodded repeatedly, and as she spoke, Hyūga Mio fell asleep.

She was exhausted!

She hadn’t rested at all for three days!

Gently laying Hyūga Mio on the bed, Fujinaka Genma didn’t leave—he softly stroked her as he activated his system.

Soon, a series of prompts appeared.

All of them had occurred while he was asleep.

Level up.

Character level has reached 33.

One equipment enhancement: the target was the Divine Robe.

Then came the mission reward calculation.

An unprecedented 50,000 kill points.

Looking at it, Fujinaka Genma couldn’t help but smile broadly.

Of course, what surprised him most was the increase in his attributes.

Over these three days, his constitution had increased by eight points—excluding Tianfu bonuses, that’s four actual points.

Clearly, this exhaustion-induced sleep had unlocked part of his latent potential.

He added the one attribute point gained from leveling up to constitution, raising it to 1260.

Agility remained unchanged; intelligence rose by two points to 50; charm surged by six points to 60.

Looking at his four basic attributes, Fujinaka Genma thought inwardly: “Agility still feels a bit low…”

“Next time, maybe I should boost agility.”

The thought passed through his mind, and Fujinaka Genma opened his skill menu.

Passing over his Tianfu skills, his gaze settled on the Level 10 Transformation Technique.

It was his second Level 10 skill—and it hadn’t disappointed him.

Without this Level 10 ninjutsu, he’d have had to reveal the Golden Seal technique.

But instinctively, he still didn’t want to expose the full power of Golden Seal.

But.

From both Transformation Technique and Golden Seal, it was clear: when a skill reaches its peak, it breaks through ceilings—or conventional limits.

“Then…”

“What if I raised Flying Thunder God to Level 10? What would happen?”

“Would I be able to teleport without a mark?”

Fujinaka Genma couldn’t help but imagine: “What about Replacement Technique? If raised to Level 10, could it become a space-ninjutsu like Sasuke’s Amenotejikara?”

Moreover, based on his experience:

When a ninjutsu reaches Level 9, it exceeds conventional norms—“conventional” meaning ordinary understanding.

Thus:

In reality, every ninjutsu, when raised to Level 10, must yield terrifying rewards.

“Too bad—I can buy at most ten skill points per year…”

Thinking of this, Fujinaka Genma sighed.

He couldn’t buy any more skill points this year.

He currently had six skill points left on his account.

“Mustn’t waste them—need to plan carefully!”

Fujinaka Genma mused inwardly.

He had to prioritize.

For example, Flying Thunder God would be his top choice.

And later, senjutsu.

“Most important, most fundamental: chakra control and all chakra nature transformations!”

Fujinaka Genma suddenly realized, his expression turning solemn.

Techniques like Flying Thunder God are just techniques.

But chakra nature transformations might allow him to reach the Six Paths realm without relying on the Sage of Six Paths’ bloodline—enabling him to manifest the Rinne Sharingan and attain immortality.

Yet.

Fujinaka Genma immediately thought of another question: “If I develop a kekkei genkai through my own cultivation, will it occupy one of my Tianfu slots?”

“I only have four left…”

Frowning, Fujinaka Genma pondered: “I’ll need to think carefully about which kekkei genkai to choose.”

Gazing at his skills one by one, he reflected deeply, then decided: first, raise his current Level 7 Lightning Chakra Nature Transformation to Level 10.

Lightning Chakra Nature Transformation +1!

Level 8.

His mind paused slightly as he absorbed the change, then raised his right hand—electricity flickered above it.

Almost no sound.

The current was highly condensed and flowing.

Lightning Cutter!

Though he hadn’t tested it, he could feel: Lightning Cutter had grown stronger than before.

The chakra cost to perform it had also decreased.

Continue.

Lightning Chakra Nature Transformation +1!

Level 9.

This time, the information was more extensive—it took a full ten minutes to fully absorb.

Opening his eyes, Fujinaka Genma looked stunned.

“Could this be an illusion?”

He muttered to himself, then closed his eyes and sensed again.

He definitely sensed it—the electric currents outside his body.

Like the static electricity on Hyūga Mio’s skin, even her internal bioelectric currents.

He even felt a sense of control.

Unable to resist the temptation, he tried to sense them.

And faintly, he perceived some information.

Information from Hyūga Mio’s bioelectric currents.

“Little girl… Itachi dreamed of me?”

Thinking this, Fujinaka Genma froze.

This sensation… felt like telepathy.

Or perhaps mind reading?

“Could I develop a Lightning-type perception ninjutsu to sense an enemy’s thoughts?”

Fujinaka Genma’s imagination ran wild.

Moreover, beyond sensing external currents, Fujinaka Genma also noticed many other enhancements.

For example, he could now perform Lightning ninjutsu without hand seals.

“And developing new ninjutsu seems much easier now.”

“Lightning chakra is as obedient to my will as an extension of my arm.”

This feeling was exhilarating.

Fujinaka Genma immediately continued upgrading.

Lightning Chakra Nature Transformation +1!

Level 10.

At this moment.

Fujinaka Genma’s mind suddenly froze; his vision went black, and he sat there dazed on the mat.

Ten minutes later.

He snapped back to awareness and murmured to himself: “Level 10 Lei Dun chakra nature transformation can now control external lightning at will.”

“Is this similar to a Kekkei Genkai?”

“Moreover, I feel that the Lei Dun chakra mode, similar to the Cloud Ninja’s, which I could never develop before, now seems not difficult…”

“And the high-frequency Lei Qie—I once struggled to raise its frequency, but now it doesn’t seem hard at all…”
