The Missing Squad 11

The Chidori Storm was one of Silver's newest A-rank, sure-hit ninjutsu, a technique he had painstakingly mastered over the past few months. For most shinobi, a direct hit from this technique was a guaranteed kill. But Kaito Yotsuke, despite being struck head-on, had only been knocked unconscious. That fact alone spoke volumes about his body's near-immunity to standard lightning chakra—years of tempering his physique with Lightning Chakra Mode had turned him into a human fortress.

However, Silver didn't have time to dwell on it. Kaito was down, but the battle wasn't over.

Without missing a beat, Silver flickered toward the four weaker opponents. His grip tightened around the Kusanagi blade, now enveloped in crackling Chidori Nagashi—a variation that channeled lightning throughout the blade, increasing its cutting power to extreme levels. In a blur, he struck, aiming to dispatch them before they could regroup.

The first enemy, a Kumo jonin, barely had time to react before Silver's blade pierced clean through his chest, the electric current frying his nervous system before he even hit the ground. The second opponent, seeing the first fall, tried to counter with a barrage of shuriken infused with lightning, but Silver deflected them mid-strike, closing the distance in an instant. With a swift upward slash, the Kusanagi blade sliced through the enemy's collarbone, sending him crumpling to the dirt.

The remaining two panicked, attempting to retreat into the treeline, but Silver was faster. He dashed forward, his entire body flickering like a bolt of lightning. His sword cut through the third target's neck in a single, precise motion. The last opponent barely managed to raise a kunai in defense, but Silver twisted his wrist, the Chidori Kusanagi pulsing with power as it cut through both the weapon and the enemy's chestplate, ending the fight in an instant.

As the final body hit the ground, Silver exhaled, his blade still humming with residual energy. He turned, scanning the battlefield. Kaito was still unconscious, and the rest of his team had managed to subdue or eliminate their remaining enemies.
