Over the past two years, Yu has finally broken through his bottleneck and limit, successfully advancing his Armament Haki to the second stage.
The enhanced Armament Haki not only covers his entire body, providing a defense stronger than Kakuzu's Earth Release Hardening technique, but also strengthens his entire body, significantly increasing his speed, strength, and even reaction time.
"Hmm..."
Sure enough, with his entire body strengthened by Armament Haki, the intense impact brought by the fusion of the two S-rank Ninjutsu Chakra Nature Transformations in front of him could no longer harm Yu's body.
"You've already elevated Armament Haki to the second stage so quickly..."
Seeing that Yu has already successfully advanced his Armament Haki to the second stage, the Devil's tone carries a hint of surprise and playfulness, "It seems you've made quite a bit of progress during my slumber. Has your Observation Haki also improved?"
"Success!!"
However, at this moment, Yu had no spare attention to focus on what the Devil was saying because his gaze and attention were completely focused on his hands.
Through his relentless efforts and perseverance, the ultra-strong Chakra Nature Transformations continuously released by Chidori and Hard Vortex Water Blade in front of him finally began to show signs of gradually merging together.
"Finally... it's completed!!"
After about a few breaths' worth of effort, Yu's amber eyes were finally illuminated by an incredibly dazzling light.
The two completely different Chakra Nature Transformations of lightning and water were forcibly fused together by him, and in his hands, a gradually appearing radiant sphere of light emerged.
It was a very unique light, with a peculiarly dazzling white color tinged with a hint of blue. While possessing the incredibly violent brilliance and destructive power of lightning, it also had the softness and malleability of water.
"I must admit, you've really done it..."
Seeing that Yu had actually completely fused two different Chakra Nature Transformations and successfully derived a completely new Kekkei Genkai ability, the Devil's tone became even more surprised, "This... is this the Storm Release Kekkei Genkai born from the fusion of lightning and water Chakra Nature Transformations?"
Storm Release—can be understood as "electrically charged water" or "soft lightning". It is an extremely powerful Kekkei Genkai ability. Pure Lightning Release, due to its powerful destructive force and irregularity, cannot be freely controlled. However, with the infusion of Water Release, Lightning Release can flow freely like water, turning lightning into lasers that can be freely controlled in terms of direction and angle.
It can be said that Storm Release compensates for the shortcomings of difficult control of lightning. It is a Kekkei Genkai that combines the advantages of both lightning and water Chakra attributes. In the anime, Uchiha Madara, after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and mastering the Six Paths Sage Technique, can also use Storm Release.

In the Naruto world, Chakra Nature Transformations are divided into seven types: fire, wind, lightning, earth, water, yang, and yin. When two Chakra Nature Transformations are mixed and used simultaneously, a new chakra nature is created, known as a "Kekkei Genkai" by the world.
Usually, only a very small number of powerful ninjas can develop such new chakra natures on their own. Once successful, this new chakra nature will be recorded in the ninja's genetic makeup and passed down through blood relations to their next generation. Others cannot learn it, even with the Sharingan, as it cannot replicate it.
Therefore, Kekkei Genkai ninjas possess special and powerful abilities, which are highly valued by major countries and ninja villages. On one hand, they protect their own clan's Kekkei Genkai from being known by outsiders, and on the other hand, they attempt to uncover or disrupt the Kekkei Genkai of their enemies (such as the Cloud Ninja incident previously destroyed by Yu).
Due to the hereditary nature of Kekkei Genkai, it often brings dangers of war, misfortune, and even extinction to the families that possess them. Therefore, when the Devil saw Yu actually successfully merge the Lightning and Water Chakra Nature Transformations, independently developing a Kekkei Genkai, she can't help but feel astonished.
"In this way..."
"I truly possess a Kekkei Genkai in the true sense of this world!"
Staring at the water-like lightning constantly undulating mass of energy in his hand, although the intense laser somewhat stings his eyes, Yu's gaze still reveals a hint of excitement. This was years of hard work!
All along, the abilities of the Thread Fruit on Yu's body have been regarded by other ninjas in this world as a special Kekkei Genkai, but in reality, it does not belong to the system of this world at all. The newly merged Kekkei Genkai, Storm Release, is the true Kekkei Genkai ability of this world.
"Let's see how powerful it is..."
Suppressing the fluctuations in his heart, Yu focused on controlling the dazzling Storm Release mass in his hand to undergo Chakra shape transformation. Immediately, an incredibly dazzling laser burst forth from it, extending rapidly from the water surface to the shore.
Boom!!
But just as it was about to hit a large tree on the shore, Yu abruptly controlled the laser burst from his hand to change direction.
Under his powerful Chakra Control, the lightning laser burst in front of him actually made a lightning-fast right-angle turn, smashing a nearby huge rock from an unbelievable angle!
"So flexible... the attack is simply flawless..."
"No wonder it's Storm Release... being able to control the transformation of lightning with such ease..."
Seeing the powerful effect displayed by his Storm Release Chakra, even Yu couldn't help but marvel.
"However, successfully developing Storm Release is far from enough..."
"Next, it will take even more time to develop Ninjutsu for Storm Release..."
Having successfully developed and fused a brand new Kekkei Genkai, Yu's mood was evidently quite good.
After all, Storm Release not only had more power than ordinary Lightning Release, but its effects were also more dazzling and magnificent, making it a Kekkei Genkai that emphasized both appearance and power.
"Someone's coming..."
Just as he was about to continue his training, Yu's Observation Haki suddenly picked up the sound of someone approaching the gorge.
"That voice... it's Yugao..."
Carefully sensing the sound emitted by the approaching person with his Observation Haki, Yu immediately identified the person's identity.
"Being able to sense the target from such a distance and accurately identify the target's identity..."
Seeing that Yu's Observation Haki had become much stronger than before, Devil's voice resounded once again, "Indeed, it seems that your Observation Haki has also advanced to the second stage."
Indeed, as soon as Devil's words fell, behind the massive rock formation on the distant shore, a graceful figure slowly approached. With her striking long purple hair and a light-colored kimono, she exuded an elegance akin to an orchid blooming in a secluded valley.
It was none other than Uzuki Yugao, whom Yu had just sensed with his Observation Haki.
