Lightning was a violent chakra attribute.
It was very powerful, but it was also challenging to control. That was one of the reasons why most Lightning Release Ninjutsu, unlike the Ninjutsu of the other four basic chakra natures, usually had very simple forms.
Orbs of the Lightning Ball Jutsu, crackling spears of the False Darkness Jutsu, and the shape transformation forms of Chidori, using a little bit of Yin Release mastery, were a few shape transformation forms of the Lightning Release Jutsu.
So, to form a devastating beam of concentrated lightning, Seii chose to seek external aid until his mastery over Lightning and Yin Releases reached the level of the Sage of Six Paths.
That was the reason he used chakra-conducting tal blades and gloves to gather a large amount of lightning chakra without it dispersing, allowing him to shoot a powerful lightning beam through a pointed section, like the tip of his ninjato or finger, which was covered by the chakra-conducting and amplifying glove-like artifact.
And the result was the successful casting of a deceptively simple yet devastating Lightning Release Ninjutsu—Lightning Release: Lightning Beam.
---------------------
Lightning Release: Lightning Beam
All lightning bolts concentrated on Seii's glove-covered index finger, which he pointed toward the mutated Fire Demon.
The glove acted as a conductor and amplifier of lightning chakra. It made the lightning bolts flow seamlessly through the glove and then to the index finger.
At the very next mont, all the concentrated lightning exploded forward with a sonic boom and turned into a straight, catastrophic beam of lightning, targeting the throat and head of the demon.
anwhile, the demon felt as if its mind was ringing alarm bells.
His instincts were telling him that it would truly die if he didn't do anything. However, having just cast a powerful AoE innate skill like Radius Blast, it didn't have enough ti to gather chakra and cast a simple Explosive Steps skill.
So, it could only rely on his physical reaction and sixth sense to move its body away to its left, just in ti for the Lightning Beam Jutsu's main beam to miss the demon completely.
Still, the violent lightning energy surrounding the beam blasted off and charred its right shoulder, the right side of its jaw and cheek, and a little bit of its right throat.
All of it happened in an instant. The lightning bolt that missed its target struck a tall, boulder-like structure in the distance, completely destroying it with a violent lightning explosion that sent an electric shockwave in every direction.
BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
A loud sound of an explosion rocked the battlefield. All ninjas and chakra beasts, including Uchiha Sorata, Senju Haku, and Uzumaki Benitsu, stared in the direction of the blast with dumbfounded expressions.
Uchiha Sorata signaled Seii with his eyes as if to say: This Jutsu of yours wasn't this powerful when you released it last ti.
Seeing this, Seii shrugged his shoulders with an innocent expression.
anwhile…
"Grrrrrr….Bastard," growled the mutated Fire Demon as he retreated repetitively to avoid being ambushed by the ninjas fighting it.
"Where do you think you are going?"
Uzumaki Benitsu quickly recovered from the shocked state, and he charged forward at the demon with three pairs of golden Adamantine Sealing Chains that ca out of his back.
The golden chakra chains thrashed violently as they attempted to entangle and seal the demon. However, the demon had already regenerated most of its missing body parts and deflected the chains with its innate skill, Fiery Lava Claws.
Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!
The hardened lava claws of the demon and the golden sealing chains kept clashing with each other.
Soon, the demon opened its mouth and released a torrent of searing flas toward Benitsu, who had no choice but to cancel his offense to defend himself.
Water Release: Water Formation Wall
Uzumaki Benitsu swiftly ford a few hand seals and spat a large amount of water, which transford into a transparent wall of shimring water just before the flas could reach him.
Shhhh! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The water wall successfully blocked the flas, even though the heat had evaporated a lot of water from the defensive Water Release Jutsu.
Under the protection of the water wall, Uzumaki Benitsu retreated while forming another set of hand seals.
Wind Release: Air Bullet
Benitsu puffed his mouth and swiftly released fifteen bullets made of air toward the demon, who was still spitting fire.
The demon suddenly stopped spitting fire to dodge the bullets. But the air bullets were too fast, forcing it to cast Lava Armor.
A glowing red and black armor of lava wrapped the entire torso, legs, and hands of the mutated Fire Demon. Although the air bullets hit the demon's body squarely, the earth armor prevented the bullets from penetrating its body.
However, just as it was about to cast a mocking look at Benitsu, it suddenly felt its surroundings darken as though sothing huge was blocking the sunlight.
Confused, it looked up. And to its horror, a giant lump of solid earth was dropping from the sky toward it. It was the effect of Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling released by Senju Haku.
The demon didn't hesitate and quickly condensed a huge ball of fire and sent it upwards, while the demon used Explosive Steps to get away from its current location.
Baaaang!!
The massive lump of earth and the fireball collided before triggering a huge explosion in the sky, raining down fiery chunks of earth.
As the demon was retreating using its movent technique, it heard a crackling sound of lightning.
At the next mont, Seii, who had used the Thunder Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of the demon, swung his lightning-infused blade at the demon's neck.
Squelch!
The demon changed its direction of movent at the last mont, making Seii miss his target, but not completely.
He still slashed a little more than half of the demon's throat. If the demon were any slower, its head would have separated from its body by now.
Seii clicked his tongue and pressed forward, trying to strike the demon with his lightning-infused blade again.
This ti, the demon had enough room to maneuver and quickly engaged in close combat with Seii.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Purple bolts of lightning and orange sparks of fire flew in the air as Seii's blade and the demon's Lava Release-empowered claws t tens of tis within less than eight seconds.
Suddenly, two hands ca out from under the ground and firmly gripped the legs of the demon in an attempt to drag it down to the ground, startling the demon.
The demon's reaction was quick. It imdiately unleashed Explosive Steps to retreat backwards while using the shockwave to force the hands to release its leg.
The demon successfully retreated and smirked at Seii, who smirked back at the demon.
The mutated Fire Demon suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
Soon, the demon saw tendrils of darkness crawling toward it. The darkness soon covered its entire vision.
It could no longer see anything. The demon couldn't see its surroundings, the ground beneath its feet, the sky above its head, or even its own body and limbs.
Everything in its vision was filled with darkness. It knew that it had been trapped in a Genjutsu. However, no matter how much it tried to flare its chakra, the darkness just wouldn't go away.
At a distance, another Seii couldn't be seen entangling his fingers into a special hand seal. The demon's pitiful situation just now was clearly the result of the Bringer of Darkness Genjutsu released by him.
This Seii smiled and murmured, "How will you get out of this predicant, Demon?"
Then, another figure flickered across the battle zone and arrived in front of the demon while holding a pitch-black short sword covered in scorching flas.
It was Uchiha Sorata, and he imdiately swung his short sword toward the demon's neck. Although the demon couldn't see anything, it could still hear the swishing sound of a blade cutting through the air and feel the heat radiating from the blade.
Relying on its instincts, it imdiately moved away. Sorata's fiery blade could sever the left hand of the demon.
"Sorata, get away from the demon. It's about to cast the sa AoE skills as before."
The voice of Uzumaki Benitsu rang directly into Sorata's mind, which Benitsu had transmitted through his own advanced Mind's Eye of Kagura technique.
Hearing this, Sorata didn't hesitate at all and swiftly retreated using the Body Flicker Technique.
anwhile, Uzumaki Benitsu and Senju Haku ford a few hand seals in quick succession before slamming their hands on the ground.
Earth Release: Earth-style Wall
Four gigantic Earth walls erupted from the ground, enclosing the demon just in ti as it ford a red ring with powerful fire chakra around it.
Innate Skill: Radius Blast
And then, the red ring erupted with a fiery 360-degree explosion accompanied by scorching flas, only to be blocked by the huge Earth Walls that trapped the demon from all sides.
BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!
