Chapter 418
Late at night, Furuta Village.
Haruto Saito awoke abruptly, flipping over and leaping to his feet, his gaze alertly scanning his surroundings!
In Haruto's bedroom, by the table, Tsunade had just finished a serious conversation with Sarutobi Hiruzen. They had discussed Haruto, the Choshazan operation, marriage, the future, and more.
Haruto suddenly jumped up from the soft couch at the side... Both of them turned their heads to look at him simultaneously.
Silence!
Haruto gradually relaxed his tense state. He felt waves of soreness and stinging pain coursing through his body... The last thing he remembered before passing out was being in the water. He had just used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport, intending to surface, when a surge of electricity instantly overwhelmed his consciousness!
"You're awake? How do you feel?" Tsunade's voice came.
She had already treated Haruto. Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't intended to kill him, and Haruto's physique was incredibly resilient. There was no risk of death, but his body had suffered significant damage—from the outside to the inside, even his internal organs had been struck by lightning...
Even Tsunade wasn't entirely sure how he would feel upon waking up.
Haruto slowly turned his head, frowning as he pondered how he had lost the fight. It happened too suddenly!
In truth, the reasoning was simple: water conducts electricity. A well-placed Lightning Release attack could spread throughout the entire water body. However, for it to instantly incapacitate Haruto, two conditions had to be met. First, the lightning had to be powerful enough. Second, the jutsu had to be cast incredibly fast!
