Chapter 61 Jiraiya
Kakashi looked at Boruto and explained earnestly, "Chidori is a powerful ninjutsu that uses highly concentrated Lightning Release chakra to create a high-intensity electric current in the hand."
Kakashi continued, "At the same time, it is extremely dangerous because if not controlled properly, it can cause serious harm to the user."
As Kakashi spoke, he gestured with his hands: "When the user rushes toward the target at an extremely high speed, the electric current will match the speed of the thrust and pierce the target instantly."
"However, Chidori is not without its flaws. It has a significant drawback: when attacking, because it needs to rush towards the opponent quickly, the user may be too fast to see the enemy's movements and thus suffer a counterattack. Therefore, when using Chidori, one must have excellent judgment and reaction ability."
Kakashi added, "Normally, Chidori needs to be combined with the Sharingan to maximize its power. The Sharingan can help the user better capture the enemy's movements and predict their next move, thereby improving the accuracy and power of Chidori."
Boruto's curiosity was piqued by Kakashi's words, and he asked curiously, "So, what kind of effect would occur if Chidori and Byakugan were combined?"
The Byakugan provides a 360-degree field of vision without blind spots. If the Byakugan's insight is combined with the Chidori's destructive power, could a new fighting style be created, or could it make up for some of the shortcomings of Chidori when used?
Kakashi was slightly taken aback; he clearly hadn't expected Boruto to ask such a question.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "If Chidori could use the Byakugan's insight, he might achieve even better results, but unfortunately, I don't have the Byakugan, so I can't give a definite answer on this point."
Next, Kakashi prepared to demonstrate to Boruto how to use Chidori.
He told Boruto, "The hand seals for Chidori and Raikiri are the same, both being 'Ox-Rabbit-Monkey.' From now on, you just need to follow my movements to learn." After saying that, Kakashi began to demonstrate the hand seals, letting Boruto observe carefully.
"First, you need to concentrate your chakra and form Lightning Release in your palm." Kakashi began to instruct Boruto, gently raising his hand as wisps of blue lightning began to gather in his palm.
As Kakashi spoke, the electricity in his palm grew brighter and brighter, forming a dazzling ball of lightning, accompanied by the sound of electricity crackling.
Boruto tried to feel the flow of chakra within his body and began to imitate Kakashi's movements, attempting to guide the chakra to his palms.
“Very good, Boruto. Now you need to compress your chakra and make it more focused,” Kakashi’s voice continued to guide Boruto.
As chakra gathered, Boruto's palm began to emit a faint light. Kakashi nodded, signaling Boruto to continue.
Boruto felt a power gathering in his palm, and at the same time, he felt an uncontrollable impulse, as if the current in his hand could spread at any moment.
“Boruto, Chidori is not just an attack method; it is also the ultimate manifestation of control over one’s own chakra.” Kakashi’s voice was calm and serious. “Only when you can perfectly control this power can you unleash the true power of Chidori.”
Boruto could feel his chakra gathering, but he also understood that this was only the first step.
Next, he needs to compress this chakra into a smaller, more powerful energy ball, a process that could easily lead to failure if not handled carefully.
After a while, Boruto finally succeeded in condensing his chakra into a small ball of lightning.
But not long after, the lightning ball suddenly exploded, and Boruto's arm was also affected by the backlash, becoming numb.
"Very good, it's already quite impressive that you could do that so quickly," Kakashi said with a smile, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He hadn't expected Boruto to master Chidori even faster than Sasuke.
......
It was nearing sunset, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the sky was dyed orange-red. Boruto finished his day's training and prepared to go home.
Just then, he suddenly saw Naruto standing on the street, looking around as if searching for something.
Boruto, curious, quickly walked over, gently patted Naruto's shoulder, and asked, "What are you looking for? How did your studies with Ebisu-sensei go today?"
Naruto turned around after hearing the voice, his face showing an annoyed expression: "Oh, it's Boruto. Ugh... Don't even mention it, it's annoying to even think about. I don't have time for this right now, I'm learning from the Perverted Sage."
"Perverted Sage?" Boruto didn't immediately understand what Naruto was saying.
Naruto immediately got angry at the mention of the perverted sage, frowning and complaining, "Yeah! That perverted sage! He promised to teach me how to train! But now I don't know where he's gone. He's probably spying on some women's bathhouse again! How awful!"
Boruto said somewhat embarrassedly, "Really? He probably just had something to do and suddenly left."
"Huh? What serious business could a perverted sage possibly have?" Naruto didn't quite agree with Boruto's words.
After saying that, Naruto grabbed Boruto's hand and pulled him away, saying, "Come on! Boruto! Let's go find the Perverted Sage! We can't let him slack off like this anymore!"
Boruto was somewhat surprised, but Naruto still pulled him forward by the hand. However, when he realized where Naruto was leading him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.
"Hey! Wait, where are we going to catch it? Wait! Isn't that...?" Boruto tried to break free from Naruto's hand immediately, but Naruto was pulling him straight towards the bathhouse.
......
At that moment, in the Hokage's room, Hiruzen Sarutobi was puffing on his pipe when footsteps sounded outside the door, and a figure slowly walked in.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at the newcomer, a slight smile appearing on his lips, and said, "It's been a long time, Jiraiya."
