3 Chapter 3 Chidori

Ding!

The kunai in the opponent's hand fell to the ground, and the body collapsed in front of the door.

This was like a signal. When Logan looked coldly at the remaining undercover agent, his expression changed.

Aida seemed to have the idea of leaving a survivor to obtain information, otherwise, he would have finished his opponent by now. There is no doubt about the strength of an old ANBU's member, which is something Logan had experienced after sparring with Aida.

Without much words, Logan joined the battle, also with the intention of capturing the enemy alive, holding back in several places.

After a few exchanges, the enemy Jonin was already in a sorry state, showing signs of excessive blood loss from two bloody wounds.

After forcefully repelling Logan and Aida with a powerful blow, he seemed to have made a decision, his expression turning ferocious.

'No way, it's not like we're fighting a boss, is there still a final move before dying?' Seeing the other party's expression, Logan felt something bad is going to happen.

Sure enough, a violent Chakra fluctuation occurred. Before Logan and Aida had time to react, a flame that scorched the air appeared in the opponent's mouth.

The heat wave hit, and the instant high temperature caused some paper to ignite immediately. The smell of burnt paper mixed with the quickly evaporating moisture in the room, and the situation suddenly became critical.

"This is... the secret technique of Kumogakure?!" Aida, with his extensive knowledge and experience, seemed to recognize it immediately and exclaimed in surprise.

Then, realizing the surrounding environment, he immediately shouted, "It's bad!"

The raging fire in front of the enemy kept expanding and boiling, but what was more terrifying was that as the Kumogakure's Jonin reluctantly detonated the seemingly unused secret technique, his body began to shrivel and dehydrate.

That basin-sized fireball not only consumed massive amounts of Chakra, but also served as indiscriminate attacks...

'Hey, this is obviously a ridiculous secret technique, right? Isn't it like a suicide bomber in the midst of battle?'

"Let's go!" After a second of consideration, Aida decisively said to Logan. It seemed that the casualties of innocent people around them were inevitable. After all, they couldn't afford to stay here and die, and neither of them are skilled in Water Release Ninjutsu.

'This mission will probably end in failure...' Aida sighed inwardly. Although they managed to kill the enemy village's Jonin even after the intelligence error, they wouldn't obtain any useful information from them after their death.

"Hey, Hattori, what are you doing?" Aida's movement paused, and he looked at Logan, who had already formed several hand seals, in surprise.

At this time, the temperature in the room is already very high, and the surging heat waves seemed to physically tug at their skin.

Logan's forehead was soaked with sweat at some point. He didn't have time to say much. At this time, all he could do was bravely shout, "Aida-senpai, you go first!"

The hand seals were complete.

"What are you joking..." Aida's angry words were halfway spoken but stopped, or rather, they were overshadowed by another sound.

Chirp chirp chirp chirp——

Burst of blue lightning suddenly exploded, like the sun shining in the darkness of night!

The loud noise sounded as if thousands of birds were chirping in one's ear, and the electric current that swam like a snake instantly covered half of the room, competing with the flames on the opposite side.

"Is this… your Ninjutsu?" Aida stopped where he was, his eyes showing surprise and confusion, then he became extremely cautious.

The Ninjutsu used by the eighteen-year-old boy in front of him was the S-Rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu recorded in the ANBU. It was developed by the creator during the Third Great Ninja War, and its fame had spread widely outside.

Rumor had it that the Third Hokage had even spoken with the creator about including this technique in the Scroll of Seals. Now that Aida was lucky enough to witness it with his own eyes, he felt that the reputation... was well-deserved.

Although it was refreshing to hear an ANBU's elite lose their voice in astonishment and ask, "Is this really the Ninjutsu you developed?!" and shamelessly respond with something like, "That's right! I developed the Chidori, but it's just so-so.", Logan didn't dare to be distracted by the rapidly depleting chakra within him and the terrifying energy continuously gathering in his right hand.

Logan participated in the Third Great Ninja War, and it was during that brief conflict that he underwent the transformation from a normal high school student to an outstanding Ninja. Ever since he discovered his affinity for Lightning Release Chakra, in addition to continuously training his Nature and Shape Transformation using methods mentioned in the original work, the relatively well-known 'Chidori' was also among Logan's goals.

Although Logan wasn't a genius, he definitely had some wit to be able to survive in such a cruel world. Coupled with the experience of reading the original work, in the early and middle stages of the war, he was able to find the method stumblingly and successfully performed it, obtaining a critical life-saving move.

In doing so, he coincidentally managed to create this technique before the young Kakashi did, and won the 'first impression' of the Konoha's Ninjas.

Although Kakashi also used the original 'Raikiri' a few times during the Third Great Ninja War, people still tended to associate 'Chidori' with Logan.

This gave Logan a slight sense of satisfaction at the time, feeling like he had 'won' against a genius through his efforts alone. Yeah, he was a bit shameless like that.

In the original work, Chidori is a simplified version of Raikiri, but Logan's Chidori is not much different from Kakashi's original Raikiri in terms of complexity. Logan simply named this technique 'Chidori' for a more pleasing sound. And this technique that first appeared in the Ninja World was named Chidori.

Feeling the surging energy in his hand, blue electric arcs filled half of his field of vision. In the room, bathed in the red and blue glow, which created a magical daytime atmosphere, Logan slightly bent his body-

As if the air itself was being stretched at high speed, a dazzling blue light streaked from the starting point to the endpoint, leaving an indelible trace of blue-white lightning in Logan's retina. Gripping Chidori tightly, Logan surged toward the Kumogakure's Jonin's secret technique fireball!

Chirp chirp chirp chirp——

Boom!
