"Hehe! You flatter me, Captain!"
Shiro Akira replied with a grin.
Being praised, he felt pretty good inside.
"Do I look like I'm praising you?"
Hyuga Hizashi looked at the brat's smug expression and couldn't help rolling his true Byakugan. Then he asked suspiciously, "Hatake Kakashi doesn't have your level of strength too, does he?"
"How is that possible?"
Shiro Akira also rolled a fake Byakugan. "Do you think everyone has talent like mine? Kakashi's current strength is only around elite Chunin level. He still has a long way to go!"
With Shiro Akira's help and stimulation, Kakashi was much stronger than he had been in the original timeline.
The Lightning Body Tempering Technique had not been learned for nothing.
"Damn! Only elite Chunin?"
When Hyuga Hizashi heard this, he couldn't help rubbing Shiro Akira's dog head again and said with an envious expression, "He really is a genuine genius too…"
It was unknown whether he was envying Shiro Akira and Kakashi for having such talent, or envying Tsunade and Sakumo for having such a disciple and son.
"I must have a genius son in the future too!"
Hyuga Hizashi secretly swore in his heart.
However, when he thought that his future son would inevitably be born into the Hyuga branch family and be marked with the Caged Bird Seal, the anticipation in his heart instantly vanished.
Hyuga Hizashi let out a long sigh.
Before Shiro Akira could raise his head and ask what was wrong, the others had already finished cleaning up the battlefield. Some people had also gone to search for the scout team's bodies.
A Jonin walked over and reported to Hyuga Hizashi, "Lord Hizashi, everything has been handled!"
"Good! Let's go! It's time to head back. The convoy's safety is important!"
Hyuga Hizashi nodded. At the same time, feeling somewhat uneasy, he activated his Byakugan and checked the convoy more than a kilometer away. Only after confirming that everything there was safe did he lead Shiro Akira and the others back.
Before long, they returned to the convoy.
Seeing Shiro Akira's shadow clone still left there, Hyuga Hizashi froze slightly. He turned his head and looked at Shiro Akira in surprise, thinking, Looks like this kid kept another move hidden! Was he worried about the safety here?
Thinking of this, Hyuga Hizashi felt warmth in his heart.
He was a good child.
"How was it? Did the enemies run?"
When Kakashi saw Shiro Akira and the others return, he hurriedly asked.
When he noticed that several people were missing from the team, he thought those people had already sacrificed themselves.
To be honest, that terrifying thunderclap from earlier had shaken him. He had still been wondering whose handiwork it was.
Such terrifying Lightning Release… it gave him a faintly ominous feeling.
However, why were Shiro Akira and the others so neat and clean, as if they had not experienced a battle at all?
"Of course not!"
Shiro Akira rolled his eyes, dispelled his shadow clone, and continued, "Those people were all instantly killed by me. Hmph!"
After saying that, Shiro Akira proudly raised his head.
Kakashi's face filled with black lines. "Stop joking! If you had that kind of ability, I…"
They had been studying and doing missions together for so long. How could Kakashi not know how much ability Shiro Akira had?
At this moment, Hyuga Hizashi looked at Kakashi in amusement and said, "It's true! That brat ran too fast and charged to the very front. By the time we arrived, he had killed six Jonin with one slash, and the others had all been instantly killed by one of his Lightning Release techniques!"
"You saw that sky-piercing lightning pillar from earlier, right? That was this brat's handiwork!"
After saying that, Hyuga Hizashi looked at Kakashi with a mischievous expression, looking forward to what he would do next.
Kakashi: "…"
He stared blankly at Shiro Akira and questioned him, "Is all of this true?"
"Mm-hm!"
Shiro Akira nodded firmly, then teased, "So, when are you going to do a handstand while having diarrhea? To be honest, I've never seen such a bizarre sight before. I imagine it must be very interesting."
"I'll strangle you!"
When Kakashi heard that, he directly pounced toward Shiro Akira, grabbed his neck, and shook him. "You bastard! You've actually been hiding this much strength from me all this time? Hurry up and explain clearly what exactly is going on!"
That had been a full twenty enemies, including two elite Jonin and eight Jonin.
And they had been wiped out by Shiro Akira in two moves?
It was simply a fantasy.
He estimated that even his father, White Fang, was not as exaggerated as Shiro Akira.
It was not that White Fang's strength was inferior to Shiro Akira's, but White Fang's techniques were basically direct attacks.
Moreover, they were extremely powerful single-target attacks.
He had very few wide-area attack techniques.
How could he compare to Shiro Akira's exaggeration?
That sky-piercing lightning pillar from earlier was actually Shiro Akira's technique?
Kakashi wanted to learn it.
"Ahem!"
Shiro Akira hurriedly pulled Kakashi's hands away, cleared his throat, and said, "I only hid a tiny bit of strength, that's all. Mainly, there hasn't been any time to use it! Think about what kind of missions we were doing before and you'll understand."
Was he deliberately hiding it?
It was just that there had been no opportunity to show it.
"That's true!"
Kakashi nodded. Indeed, there had been no need for this kind of power when subjugating mountain bandits before.
"What's that sky-piercing lightning pillar called? Can I learn it?"
Kakashi looked at Shiro Akira eagerly.
At any rate, his primary attribute was also Lightning. He was very tempted.
"For now, don't even think about it!"
Shiro Akira shook his head. "That technique has extremely high requirements for chakra, chakra control, Lightning-nature chakra transformation, and most importantly, the weather. You can't learn it."
"However, when your chakra reserves and chakra control improve to a certain level in the future, I can teach you a similar S-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu. At that point, you'll have a chance to learn it."
What a joke. Thunder Greeting was not that simple.
He had only managed it by relying on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power.
For a short time, he could forget about achieving it purely with chakra.
"Is that so? It's settled then! I'll be waiting for your S-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu."
Kakashi quickly said.
His father didn't have Lightning Release of that level either.
Well, ninja swordsmanship excluded.
"You brat, you've even mastered other S-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu?"
Hyuga Hizashi, who was standing nearby, also asked in surprise.
Could this also have been self-created by this kid?
The previous technique, including the ninja swordsmanship afterward, did not look like existing techniques. After all, he had never seen anyone use them before.
They were also different from White Fang's Lightning-attribute ninja swordsmanship.
"Just a tiny bit! A tiny bit! Mm-hm!"
Shiro Akira pinched his index finger and thumb together, leaving a galaxy-sized distance between them, and replied with a smile.
"I really can't understand you anymore!"
Hyuga Hizashi smiled and shook his head.
The young people nowadays were incredible!
He suddenly felt like he was old.
Although he was only in his twenties.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Before long, the other people who had gone to collect the scout team's bodies returned and reported to Hyuga Hizashi, "Lord Hizashi, Ono and the others have sacrificed themselves. We brought their bodies back."
Hyuga Hizashi's expression turned heavy as he nodded. "I understand. Return to formation and prepare to set off!"
"The commotion here has probably already drawn the attention of both our side and the enemy on the front line. We can't stay here long. The most important thing is to reach the front-line camp as quickly as possible!"
Immediately, under Hyuga Hizashi's command, the convoy set off again.
