The Strongest Hokage

Chapter 217: Final Stage!

Half of Konoha’s Ashura’s monument got destroyed!

The silence was controlling the place.

After Kushina’s departure, with complexed feelings, Minato and Mei silently walked toward the broken monument.

Naito was his rival, even after he killed the Third Kazekage, all that Minato was thinking of is catching up to him, but now Naito is gone, and only that left was respect.

Yuu Naito... is an unsurpassable ninja.

This was the same to Uzumaki Mei, although the person she likes is Minato, she still admired Naito.

She had inexplicable sadness in her heart.

Looking at the expression she had, Minato held her hand and said thoughtfully: “Let’s leave..”

“Yes.”

Uzumaki Mei gently nodded then she followed Minato.

Someone else went to the monument.

“Are you really dead? I don’t believe it.”

The expression on Orochimaru’s face was indescribable.

After he took a last look on the monument, he shook his head and turned away, at the same time, he looked back at Sarutobi with a trace of ridiculous.

Who do you think Naito is? You thought that he will throw his life to kill the Third Raikage?!

Even if there wasn’t any news about him for now, there’s no way he’s dead!

However, Orochimaru was too lazy to explain this, he went to continue his experiments, leaving Sarutobi and the other regretting Naito’s departure.

“This is the best ending for someone like you, you were a great ninja and a great man, it just too sad that you’ve been born in the wrong place and time.”

Sarutobi sighed for a long time, then he turned and left.

.........

Land of Lightning.

In the mountains surrounded by clouds, thunder and lightning were often falling with a loud roar.

However, even for this land, this was a quite strange environment.

This has been the case for several months, which caused some residents to talk about it, yet, no one dared to go to the mountain to check it.

They were only ordinary people after all.

“This kind of weather is really unusual.”

“Yeah, it’s weird and gives a terrible feeling... Is there no ninja around here to see what’s happening there?”

“Ninjas won’t pay attention to this kind of things.”

The residents kept looking far away at the top of the mountain, where the thunder was flashing, and the roaring was swaying around the place.

The confusion in their hearts was getting more and more unbearable.

On the top of that mountain, a figure was sitting there quietly surrounded by thrilling lightning arcs!

That person was Naito.

After he killed the Third Raikage, Naito didn’t choose to return to Konoha, he stayed in the Land of Lightning to practice the Third Stage of the Lightning Armor.

Because of the environment of this land, it was the most suitable for practicing, after a little bit of searching, he found out that this mountain was the best place due to Its height.

During his cultivation, Naito forgot about everything in the world and focused on mastering this technique.

The only thing he was doing beside this, was eating and sleeping, and since the resources on this mountain were very rich, it wasn’t too hard to survive it.

Still, it was incredible!

The Thunder was hitting him hard making his whole body numb, but Naito wasn’t trying to avoid it, he didn’t even move, or use his shocks to stop it from hitting his body.

He was letting those terrifying arc of lightning hit his body.

The environment was getting worse every time, Naito was using his body as the core of this lightning storm, every time he got hit by a bolt of falling lightning, he was sending it back to the sky, turning it stronger.

Naito was actually making his own environment!

But it was difficult to make such weather in the Land of fire, even if he artificially created this lightning storm, it will not last long.

Since the environment is not comparable to the Land of Lightning.

The Third Stage cultivation method is extremely simple, but its also very difficult, and almost no one can do it!

Just how many ninjas out there can make their own environment?

In the original, Sasuke draws natural lightning directly from thunder clouds to supplement the power of his strike and controls it with chakra, to create the Kirin Technique.

But this is nothing compared to the Third Stage, it requires a stronger physical power since the natural lightning is actually going throughout the user’s body!

Not everyone can reach this stage, only people like Naito, the Third, and the Fourth Raikage can go to this extent!

Although this environment is the best to cultivate the Third Stage, how many in the Land of Lightning are practicing the Third Stage! How many could even reach the second!

First of all, you need a great amount of Chakra to practice this kind of techniques, the user needs to be at the Level of a Kage!

The amount of Naito’s Chakra is obviously not up to the standards, but since he mastered the second stage, and the reverse Hachimon Tonkou was restoring his Chakra every time, he could still practice it normally.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Lightning flashed and hit Naito’s body, and suddenly a lightning coat that looked similar to the one the Third had appeared on Naito body.

The lightning Chakra property was condensing and enhancing Naito’s body.

Each time it gets hit by the lightning Naito’s body was getting stronger.

It has been three months.

In these past three months, Naito put aside the spiritual cultivation and focused on the Third Stage, since its progressing was very fast!

The Standards are truly very high, but practicing it still quite simple.

Most people cannot reach these kinds of standards, but as long as you have it, the cultivation is very simple, that’s why Naito was stunned when he first saw the method of this cultivation.

Bang!

The thunderstorm kept getting stronger, and more violent and suddenly it started destroying the whole place!

Naito sent a shock wave out of his body.

Suddenly, the sky started getting clearer, and the clouds began to disappear gradually.

After he took a deep breath, Naito slowly opened his eyes.

“The progressing is somewhat getting slower, it seems that this stage is the same as before, the more you practice it, the slower its progression get, after all, everything has a limit.”

“If this is wasn’t the case, the Third Raikage would have been invincible.”

Still, Naito’s physical power was getting stronger, which made him happy.
