Chapter 73: Lei Shen Mode!

After upgrading the Lei Dun chakra nature transformation to level 10, the rewards were substantial, but Fujinaka Genma did not immediately spend the remaining three skill points.

Instead, he decided to first thoroughly absorb the changes, to see exactly how much the level-10 Lei Dun chakra nature transformation could alter him.

Many of the finer details also required his own time and effort to personally experience and uncover.

Gobbling things down without chewing was never a good idea!

Hyuga Mio slept until evening and woke up feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Especially upon discovering that Fujinaka Genma had been staying by her side the whole time, she felt a sweetness deep in her heart.

The two left the tent together.

“S… Lord Fujinaka!”

The Hidden Leaf ninja they encountered on the way hurriedly bowed respectfully upon seeing Fujinaka Genma.

Fujinaka Genma smiled warmly and nodded.

The wounded Hidden Leaf chunin quickly lowered his head; only after Fujinaka Genma and Hyuga Mio had passed did he raise it again, exhale deeply, and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Fujinaka Genma rubbed his chin. “Mio, am I really that frightening?”

He could feel that the chunin had feared him more than respected him.

This was different from before.

Hyuga Mio whispered, “Of course—Itachi’re the Hidden Leaf Death God now.”

Fujinaka Genma’s smile froze. “Hidden Leaf Death God?”

What the hell?

Isn’t it the White Flash of the Hidden Leaf?

Seeing Fujinaka Genma’s expression, Hyuga Mio couldn’t help laughing. “That title came from the Mist ninja.”

“Lately, the Mist ninja have been retreating step by step, and many have been captured.”

“And they say the battlefield where Itachi fought is now called the Blood Hell.”

Blood Hell…

Fujinaka Genma heard this and couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry.

No wonder his charm value skyrocketed—he should thank the Mist ninja after all.

Whatever. Let them fear me.

Fujinaka Genma sighed helplessly.

After dinner.

On an open patch of ground near the medical unit.

Fujinaka Genma stood still, white lightning arcs swirling around his body.

Moreover, the lightning grew denser, and as its density increased, the color of the arcs shifted continuously.

From white, they slowly transformed into red, then into a pale purple.

At this point, individual arcs were no longer visible—instead, they had fused into a single layer, like a solid violet glow forming armor that covered Fujinaka Genma’s entire body.

Yet he frowned slightly. “I feel I could still go stronger, but I’m hitting a limit.”

Fujinaka Genma thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: “Could it be due to my chakra control?”

Immediately, he dispersed the Lei Dun chakra from his body and opened his system to view his standard attributes.

Level 8 chakra control!

“Max it out…”

Fujinaka Genma acted decisively, spending two skill points to raise his chakra control to level 10.

Ten minutes later.

Slightly shaking his dazed head, Fujinaka Genma tried again—his right palm quickly formed a Rasengan.

This speed was several times faster than before, completed in less than a second.

And it was effortless!

Fujinaka Genma smiled and immediately attempted Lei Dun again.

This time,

Drawing on prior experience, the lightning arcs appeared instantly as purple, far stronger than the previous white ones.

Then,

Fujinaka Genma continued refining them.

This refinement wasn’t just on the surface—it fused tightly with his own body.

And this fusion wasn’t random; it followed his nervous system as pathways, extending to every corner of his body, forming a unified lightning shield.

Simultaneously,

The lightning stimulated and enhanced neural response and muscle reflex speed.

Thus, his overall speed increased dramatically.

This method was Fujinaka Genma's own design, based on his past-life medical knowledge and understanding of the human body.

As for how it differed from the Cloud Village’s Lei Dun chakra mode, he didn’t know.

“Keep strengthening…”

Fujinaka Genma had a direct sensation—he could still push further.

This intuition had come with the Lei Dun chakra nature transformation reaching level 10.

The lightning on his body grew stronger, its color shifting gradually from pale purple to deep purple.

And the previously contained current reemerged.

Even forming an electric field within a ten-meter radius around him.

From inside out, the intensity gradually weakened.

The arc colors shifted from deep purple to white.

Zzzzt!

Boom!

The ground was occasionally scorched by lightning, leaving blackened marks.

As time passed, the lightning on Fujinaka Genma’s body turned dark purple, radiating a terrifying aura of destruction.

“Reached maximum…”

“And if I push the lightning any further, my own body won’t be able to handle it.”

Breathing lightly, Fujinaka Genma moved his limbs, confirming he could fully control this power, and smiled.

Level 10 chakra control was indeed powerful.

Then he walked forward—each step left a blackened footprint on the ground.

“I need more practice—to master control, to adjust power at will.”

Thinking this, Fujinaka Genma walked to a large tree.

He raised his right hand, palm like a blade, and drove it straight into the trunk.

There was a faint hissing sound, but he felt no resistance—like slicing through tofu.

Thus,

His hand passed effortlessly through the thick trunk.

This power didn’t surprise Fujinaka Genma.

“Defense is harder to test…”

Fujinaka Genma raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, “I’ll master it first, then ask Jiraiya to test it with a Wind Release: Rasengan.”

“Or have Master Minato attack me!”

“He can cut off the Eight-Tails’ tail with a kunai—his offensive power is not to be underestimated.”

Thinking this,

Fujinaka Genma continued testing.

For example, speed.

Reaction ability.

He didn’t need anyone’s help to test these.

And the results were unquestionable.

Far beyond his previous level.

Movement speed had at least doubled.

Neural reaction speed had also improved dramatically.

“If I’d been in this state three days ago, even three thousand Mist ninja couldn’t have stopped me!”

After testing everything, Fujinaka Genma felt a surge of confidence.

When reading the original story, he’d thought the Third Raikage’s battle against ten thousand Iwa ninja sounded exaggerated—but now he realized it might not have been.

“I wonder if I could defeat a powerhouse like the Third Raikage in a direct fight—or even kill him?”

He’d never fought one, so he didn’t know the true combat level of the Kage from the Five Great Villages.

“Forget it—first, give this technique a name…”

Shaking his head, Fujinaka Genma dismissed the Lei Dun chakra and walked back, thinking.

Lei Dun Chakra Mode?

Too similar to the Cloud Village’s…

Purple Thunder Battle Armor?

A bit ordinary.

Why not name it after a god, like Susano'o?

After thinking it over, Fujinaka Genma suddenly had an idea: “Let’s call it Lei Shen Mode.”

“In the future, I can merge it with Magnet Release to form Electromagnet Release, then incorporate Water Release to enhance control—it may not be weaker than Susano'o of the Sharingan…”
