Chapter 58: Abilities Enter the Fray [Part 1]
The next day, the group of nine who regularly skipped class had three more people join them, including Neji and two others who were a year older. When Iruka heard the news, he almost collapsed from the stress. These nine troublemakers not only skipped class themselves, but also brought Neji and his two classmates with them. The homeroom teacher responsible for teaching Neji's class gave Iruka a resentful look, almost making him want to die.
"Hey, why did you call us here to skip class with you? What's going on?" Kakashi asked, dressed in a Konoha Jonin vest, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a book from the Icha Icha series.
"I wanted to ask if any of you have evolved an ability," Sakura asked. Hinata's ability had already begun to manifest, so it was time for the others to show their abilities as well.
"An ability?" Kakashi thought for a moment before suddenly extending his right hand from his pocket. "Do you mean this?!"
As Kakashi spoke, everyone saw blue lightning burst from his right hand, and then lightning spread from his fingers to his wrist, as if his entire right hand was made up of lightning.
"Since discovering this ability some time ago, my chakra consumption when using Lightning Release has decreased significantly, and the power of Lightning Release has also increased!" Kakashi had not told anyone about this, but his intuition told him that all of these changes were probably caused by Sakura.
"Controlling lightning, huh?" Sakura carefully sensed it and found that Kakashi's right hand had become a pure energy body, a purer form of lightning energy than chakra, just like natural lightning.
"Uncle Kakashi, you can work hard to develop this power. If you develop it well, your whole body can turn into a pure lightning energy body, immune to physical attacks, and the reason why your Lightning Release power becomes stronger is also related to this energy. This energy is not chakra, it is closer to natural lightning. If you have to use a term that Kakashi-sensei can understand, you can use Sage Mode chakra to describe it. Of course, this power is far more than that. Uncle Kakashi might be able to control thunder directly in the future!" Sakura's description of Kakashi's ability reminded her of the Goro Goro no Mi in the anime One Piece, which allows the user to turn their body into an element and control lightning, and this power source is not chakra, but natural lightning, so Kakashi does not need to consume any additional chakra.
"Sage Mode chakra?!" Kakashi, who had some understanding of Sage Mode, naturally knew what Sage Mode chakra was. He settled his mind and his right hand instantly returned to normal.
"Is Kakashi the only one who has changed?" Sakura asked again. She couldn't believe that only Hinata and Kakashi had evolved abilities.
"Well, I've recently discovered something strange. I don't know if it counts!" Guy suddenly said thoughtfully. "When I'm training, I can feel a strange power. As long as I release this power, my attacks can cause even greater damage!"
"Uncle Guy, can you demonstrate it?" Sakura and the others stepped back, leaving a space for Guy.
"Hyah!" Guy shouted and punched the training ground's wooden stake. An invisible force emanated from his fist, directly causing a crack in the wooden stake.
"Without using any chakra, just a normal punch can cause this kind of damage?!" Sakura touched her chin and looked at the crack in the wooden stake. A flash of insight passed through her mind, but it disappeared in an instant. She had no choice but to ask Guy to punch again. This time, the thick and sturdy wooden stake shattered into small pieces of wood on the ground, as if it had been hit from all directions.
"I know, it's vibration!" Sakura suddenly realized that the force that emanated from Guy's fist was vibration. The vibration force was transmitted to the wooden stake, allowing Guy to break the wooden stake with just two punches. Moreover, the shattered wooden stake did not look like it had been hit by a fist, but more like it had been hit from all directions.
"Vibration?!" Guy looked at his fist in confusion.
"Yes, vibration. Uncle Guy, your ability should be the power to cause vibrations..." Sakura's eyes lit up. This was the same as Whitebeard's ability in One Piece, the power to cause vibrations. If it reaches its limit, it can even shatter the entire world. Kakashi and Guy were truly good friends, with abilities that seemed to come from the same world.
After briefly introducing what she knew, Guy was so excited that he cried. The ability to cause vibrations in attacks was perfect for him as a pure martial artist.
Ignoring Guy, who was crying and holding onto Lee, Sakura turned her attention to Shisui. With Shisui's talent, he should have awakened his ability by now.
"You guys can see for yourselves!"
Shisui smiled shyly, and then everyone saw another Shisui suddenly appear beside him.
"This ability, which is similar to a clone, is quite good, but unfortunately it's just an illusion and has no substance!"
"Is this like Loki's ability?"
Shisui's illusion clone was very similar to Loki's ability in Marvel. Except for Sakura, who could sense souls, others couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake. If Shisui used this move in battle, the enemy would definitely be confused.
"Mine is quite similar to Kakashi-senpai's!"
Uchiha Izumi, who was sitting next to Uchiha Itachi, extended her right hand, and faint electric arcs could be seen winding around her arm. "But I haven't figured out how to use it yet!"
"This is electromagnetic force!"
Sakura carefully sensed it and quickly analyzed the true nature of the power on Uchiha Izumi's body. It was not the power to control lightning like Kakashi's, but the power of electromagnetism. If compared to a person, it would be like Misaka Mikoto from the anime A Certain Magical Index.
By the way, now that Uchiha Izumi has evolved this ability, should she change her name to Misaka Izumi? However, the power of electromagnetism is quite strong and does not consume chakra. In the future, Uchiha Izumi can learn to be a long-range mobile artillery like Misaka Mikoto.
