Chapter 238: Thunder Escape R&D Team (Ch 715691158)

After everyone arrived, Ohnoki said, “This time, Yichen obtained three A-level lightning ninjutsu from Kakuzu, the S-level rebel ninja of Takigakure. Combined with the several A-level lightning ninjutsu that Yichen developed before, the village’s high-level lightning ninjutsu is barely enough to form a system.”

“But there are still too few low-level lightning escape techniques. According to the normal ratio, we need at least a few hundred C-level and dozens of B-level lightning escape techniques to make up for the weakness of lightning escape techniques.”

“The purpose of today’s meeting is to discuss the formation of a team dedicated to the research and development of lightning techniques. Based on these A-level lightning techniques, we will develop as many C-level and B-level lightning techniques as possible.”

“Everyone, please share your thoughts.”

Yi Chen said: “When we were studying medical ninjutsu before, we got a lot of inspiration from the students of the ninja school. We can do the same this time.”

“We can collect everyone’s ideas for developing ninjutsu in the form of a mission. This time, the target of the collection can be all the ninjas in the village.”

Ikura continued, “That’s right. Not only can we collect everyone’s own ideas, but we can also collect the styles of lightning ninjutsu that everyone has encountered in previous missions.”

Saka said: “It would be best to form a group of jonin or even elite jonin who are good at lightning escape to conduct long-term research.”

When Yi Chen heard what Ban said, he immediately said, “The Anbu Hu who used the Byakugan to secretly learn the Cloud Ninja Lightning Release Ninjutsu from me last time was quite good.”

Ming also nodded and said, “These suggestions are all fine. When issuing tasks, the rewards can be higher. We can even promise to the ninjas who submit the plans. Once the ninjutsu is successfully developed, we can reluctantly give them a share of the ideas.”

Yi Chen was a little surprised. When did Ming, the financial advisor, become so generous?

Not only Yi Chen was surprised about Ming, Ikura and Saka also had the same doubts.

Feeling the gazes of the three people, Ming glared at them fiercely and said, “The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning sent an envoy to meet with our Daimyo and expressed his desire to join the trade route. He also suggested opening up a water trade route. The Daimyo was very happy and allocated another sum of funds to the village.”

Then he glanced at Yi Chen again and added, “The Daimyo knew that it was you who destroyed the alliance between the Mist Ninja and Konoha and helped the Cloud Ninja, which is how you won over the Land of Lightning, and he praised you.”

Yi Chen rolled his eyes. This incident reminded him of his nickname, Rock Ninja Fox.

Ohnoki then said, “That’s it. Let’s discuss who will be in charge of this?”

After saying that, Ohnoki set his sights on Yichen. Not only him, but everyone else also looked at Yichen. Among the senior executives, Ohnoki did not know how to use Lightning Release. Only Yichen and Ikura had some attainments in Lightning Release.

Compared to Ikura who only regards Lightning Release as a special technique to be used in special situations, Yichen takes Lightning Release much more seriously.

Yi Chen subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he thought that his proficiency in thunder attribute still needed to be improved, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Seeing Yichen agreed, Ohnoki nodded with satisfaction and said, “You can choose the personnel yourself. If the Byakugan and Sharingan are useful, you can also ask Ming for them.”

Yi Chen nodded to show that he understood.

After the meeting, Yi Chen went straight to Huang Tu. Now Huang Tu is the assistant of Tsuchikage, and it is very convenient for him to do many things. Yi Chen directly asked him to help find a suitable ninja.

As for issuing tasks to collect ideas for developing lightning escape, it was easy. Yi Chen went to the contribution department, marked the pricing of various levels of lightning escape development ideas, and left it alone.

After that, when there is any harvest at the mission office, someone will naturally deliver it to Yichen.

Before the formal research and development begins, Yi Chen still has to learn the three A-level lightning escape techniques.

Kakuzu’s three A-level lightning releases include both group and individual effects, and when combined together they are very valuable for research.

While Huangtu was helping to find suitable researchers, Yichen was learning Thunder Escape and supervising his disciples’ practice at the training ground.

Perhaps it was because of the stimulation, or perhaps it was because they were more confident in their training after becoming real ninjas. The three children in the third class all completed the tasks assigned by Yichen in excess.

Among them, Suda Himetsuki finally began to arrange training for her kitten. It was also on this day that her kitten got a name, Fenghuo.

Xiao Fenghuo’s training volume is not large and the content is simple, all of which are physical and flexibility exercises.

Perhaps Xiao Fenghuo was influenced by Suda Himezuki’s emotions, or perhaps he was stimulated by the battle between Yichen and Kakuzu that day, so he had no resistance to training.

Although the three members of Class 4 did not experience it themselves, they gradually adjusted their mindsets after listening to the descriptions of Suda Himezuki and the other two. Especially the two girls, Kawazoe Yuran and Kanako, they stopped being lazy and instead increased their training with Suda Himezuki.

Yi Chen was not happy when he saw this, because the hardworking level of his two previous classes of students was no less than that of Suda Himetsuki and others now.

A few days later, Yi Chen barely learned three A-level lightning escape techniques, and then Yi Chen summoned the researchers that Huang Tu had selected for him.

The research team consisted of seven people, including Yi Chen and Hu. Yi Chen appointed Hu as deputy team leader and left all daily affairs to him.

Of the remaining five, four were jonin and one was a chunin. The four jonin’s original main attributes were all lightning attributes, but because the village’s lightning escape was too poor, they finally chose to practice other attributes.

The Chunin was different. His name was Qi. He had only completed the nature change training of one attribute, which was the lightning attribute. Because his talents in other attributes were too poor, he was developing lightning escape.

It’s just that his research and development talent is not high, and there are too few lightning escapes in the village to learn from, so he has never made any achievements. This time when Huangtu was looking for researchers, he was the only one who took the initiative to sign up.

Yi Chen thinks highly of him. Although his strength is only that of a Chunin, he is the only one who has the same interests and work as him. Maybe he can surprise himself in the future research and development work.

The first thing the Lightning Release R&D team had to do was to practice A-level Lightning Release. It was easy for Hu and the four senior ninjas. Although it would take some time for them to practice A-level Lightning Release, there was no lack of hard conditions.

But Qi is different. He doesn’t have enough chakra, so all he can do is research and he can’t try.

But Qi didn’t care. He was used to this kind of thing. When Yi Chen developed three A-level Thunder Escapes before, he found a way to exchange for one, but he could only watch but not practice.

At that time, Qi also conceived a C-level lightning technique based on Chidori’s ideas, but it had not yet been successfully developed.

Yi Chen didn’t care about these, because his purpose was not to let them learn ninjutsu. Yi Chen’s purpose was to study, and it was enough to let everyone understand the principles of these A-level lightning escape techniques.

Yi Chen gave the five people ten days to master all the lightning ninjutsu in the village, including Kakuzu’s three A-level lightning ninjutsu and Yi Chen’s three A-level lightning ninjutsu himself.

Everyone was an experienced ninja, so Yichen didn’t need to say anything extra. Yichen just followed the procedure to seal the brains of several people, and then waited ten days to officially start the research and development of lightning escape.

Since there was a precedent for the all-round upgrade of medical ninjutsu, when Yi Chen posted the task of collecting ideas for lightning-style ninjutsu at the task office this time, the enthusiasm of the village ninjas to participate was surprisingly high.

After ten days, the task force had collected hundreds of low-level lightning escape ideas with different uses for Yi Chen.

According to the staff of the mission office, nearly a thousand people came to submit their lightning escape ideas. However, most of them submitted similar ideas, which were basically some rough ideas they analyzed when fighting with the enemy.

After a brief arrangement, the people in the mission department summarized these hundreds of ninjutsu ideas and sent them to Yi Chen.

Yi Chen was somewhat surprised at the efficiency of the task department, and he carefully read through it without worrying about it. As a result, he was pleasantly surprised to find that before he even started research and development, just by roughly thinking about it, his understanding of the thunder attribute had improved.

This was quite a surprise. Originally, Yi Chen was not very enthusiastic about developing lightning escape, but now it was completely different. Yi Chen felt that he had the hope that through this research on lightning attribute, he could master lightning escape to the level of water escape.

The R&D team was summoned again by Yi Chen, and then they entered the field where Yi Chen was best.

Yi Chen now has his own method for developing ninjutsu. First, he builds a theoretical foundation, then makes various assumptions, and then conducts boring attempts in order of priority.

It was the first time for the people in the R&D team to come into contact with Yi Chen’s systematic method of developing ninjutsu, and each of them seemed to have opened up a new world.

Especially the only Chunin in the team, Qi, who has been trying to develop for many years, but has not achieved anything because of the wrong method. Now that he suddenly came into contact with Yichen’s method, he felt that the whole world had changed.

Then, as the rest of the R&D team looked on in amazement, Qi completed his transformation from Chunin to Jonin.

When Qi fell into a complete trance, the other five people, including Hu, subconsciously turned their gazes to Yi Chen again.

At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds: Yi Chen was indeed the most famous instructor in the village.

Yi Chen touched his nose, a little surprised, but did not explain anything. In this case, Yi Chen could not tell everyone that this was a method summed up by his disciple Ogura Saki.

Yi Chen just signaled everyone to wait for a while.

After a long time, Qi came back to his senses from his trance, knelt on one knee in front of Yi Chen, and performed a ninja’s salute of allegiance.

The four jonin looked at Qi with some envy. Originally, the gap in strength and status among them was very obvious, but Qi’s sudden move made their sense of superiority disappear in an instant.

Not only will the sense of superiority be gone, but if we consider the age gap between them, there is a high probability that Qi will surpass them in the future.

Yi Chen was helpless. There was nothing he could say in this atmosphere. He just let Qi get up and get ready to start working.

The development process of Lightning Release was smoother than the village leaders had expected. Perhaps it was because of Yi Chen’s systematic method, or because everyone in the development team had a certain talent for ninjutsu, or perhaps the reference effect of the six A-level Lightning Releases was strong enough.

The R&D team completed the development of the first C-rank ninjutsu in less than three days.

However, during the development process, Qi’s performance surprised everyone in the team.

Because he had been thinking about the research and development of Thunder Release for several years, Qi proposed many details that Yi Chen and others could not think of. Often when Yi Chen and others were still thinking about the problem from the perspective of performing ninjutsu, Qi had already proposed several research difficulties that needed to be overcome.

It is no exaggeration to say that if we put aside Yi Chen’s theory, Qi’s role has exceeded the sum of Yi Chen and the other six people. Basically, the entire R&D team follows Qi’s thinking, and sometimes Qi even interrupts his thinking to explain to Yi Chen and others.

At first, Qi was a little cautious in what he said, fearing that Yi Chen would be unhappy, but he soon found out that he was wrong. It seemed that in Yi Chen’s eyes, the better he was, the more he deserved to be happy.

Qi naturally didn’t know that the better he performed, the sooner Yi Chen could withdraw from the R&D team. Qi thought that Yi Chen’s thinking might be the kind of talent that a village shadow must have.
