Chapter 124

Title: Geniuses...

….

-One Month Later-

-General POV-

During midday, in the Inuzuka Training grounds, Yami was training. He was stretching and doing light exercises to warm his body up. He was shirtless and had even taken off his headband and put them to the side. His only clothes were his dark blue pants.

As Yami finished the last warm up. He took a deep breath and slowly lightning rays started appearing over his skin…

'This is it.' Thought Yami trying to motivate himself.

<Lighting Armor>

Soon lighting encompasses his body and…

*fwosh*

Yami blitzed two meters to the right… but as soon as he did so, he started smelling something burning. He looked at his hands and saw that his skin was slowly melting away. He tried to gain control of the lightning but he couldn't so even half of his face melted away, showing a black skeleton beneath his flesh…

As soon as Yami saw that he couldn't control the technique, he just stopped it. The lightning dispersed and everything went back to normal… his flesh knitted itself back together and in less than two seconds. His flesh was back to normal…

'I can't seem to have control over the lightning I generate from the technology… if only I had the Jutsu scroll for the technique and how it is used.' Contemplated Yami.

He wasn't able to use the technique because he couldn't copy (even with the sharingan) something at the level of the Raikage's Lightning Chakra Cloak. But even at the failure Yami wasn't disappointed at all. He was at least making progress and when he kills the 3rd Raikage and experiments on his body and reads through his memories, Yami will figure out how the Lightning Armour works.

'I will not kill the Raikage for almost killing me during the 2nd ninja war. Revenge is something that clouds the judgement of people and makes them act irrationally. I will kill the 3rd Raikage because that is beneficial to me. Plus it wouldn't significantly change the future events that I know if I decide to kill him during the 3rd ninja war. Though with my power rising to such levels lately, I have not even been that worried about such things like the timeline. I already have eyes everywhere in this world, even as far away as the Land of Demons.' Calculated Yami with a strange glint in his eyes.

After a couple minutes of resting while standing up… Yami suddenly looked towards some trees and with a cold face he said. ”You know for a Sanin you really aren't that good at stealth.”

Then a strange laughing tone comes from one of the trees as it slowly morphed into a human figure and that figure was… Orochimaru. He had his hands in his pockets as he calmly walked forward.

”As expected of you Yami. Your sensory abilities are extraordinary. I wonder how you got them.” Said Orochimaru with a twisted gleam on his eyes.

Yami had a bored look as his black eyes stared into Orochimaru's yellow eyes, which with the slit in them, they looked like the eyes of a snake. Yami wasn't scared of Orochimaru at all, but the gleam in his eyes definitely unnerved him. After all Orochimaru is someone dangerous and extremely intelligent, letting his guard down even slightly around him could be his end.

”When you talk, it  almost feels like you are about to get to the point of something, but then you just babble on and on… and on…” Says Yami calmly while trying to discern Orochimaru's goal.

Orochimaru doesn't take what Yami said as an insult and he starts getting closer to Yami, his hands come out of his pockets as he says. ”Tell me Yami… what is the meaning of life.”
