Chapter 464: Learning Magnet Release

Translator’s Note: Before you all read it, there is only one thing I want to point out. *Cough-cough* It’s been more than 2 years since I had any contact with physics, so I am not sure if the theory I wrote here is correct or not, so please help me correct it if I am wrong.

Under the guidance of Sandaime Kazekage, Kuroto became more and more focused on inducing Magnetic Force within the particles of different types of substances lying before him. The state of concentration reached such a degree that aside from himself, and his objective at hand, nothing around him caught his attention.

Undoubtedly, being able to induce constant and regulated magnetism in these substances is a very difficult task, after all, the polarity and magnetic movement of each atom differ, so rearranging the polarity of each atom in a particular direction to induce the maximum static electricity and maximum Magnetic Force is not an easy task and requires extreme control over Chakra.

Because even if Magnetism is induced, it won’t be permanent and will slowly diminish as energy is lost, therefore, a need for constant Chakra supply and control arises, and maintaining a permanent Chakra Control is not an easy task.

This is different from general Ninjutsu because once a particular Volume of Chakra is dedicated while using a particular Ninjutsu, there is no further need to direct Chakra into it, there is just a need to control it telekinetically but this is different for Magnet Release, as the user has to constantly keep the Magnetic Field-induced else the Magnetism will be lost, and this process is not only extremely hard but also extremely Chakra consuming, thus tiring.

Precisely why even though Sunagakure has figured out the process of learning and training Magnet Release, very few are able to actually use it, and have truly mastered it.

In Kuroto’s memory, at this point in time, only the boy with the name Itsuki, the adopted son of Godaime Kazekage Pakura is able to use Magnet Release, and he too has awakened it naturally.

Of course, awakening Magnet Release naturally is not really impossible, Gaara awakened Magnet Release naturally. Gaara’s ability to Manipulate Sand is, of course, inherited from his mother, but not Magnet Release. Maybe Magnet Release was the result of being the Jinchuriki of Ichibi, but there is also a second possibility, maybe he inherited Magnet Release from his father.

Anyway, as Kuroto continued on the process of magnetizing the particles in deep concentration, few iron sand particles started to get affected by the magnetic force, and slowly but steadily, more and more of them, under the effects of Magnetism started to rise into the air.

Kuroto was so immersed in training that he did not even realize how much time had passed, and it wasn’t until he felt a sense of hunger deep that Kuroto’s mind came out of the training, and his control was released.

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding

As soon as he withdrew from his concentrated state, the floating Iron Sand in front of him scattered on the ground causing the harsh sound to resound in the whole training room.

When the harsh sound reached his ears, Kuroto was immediately awake and opened his eyes abruptly with a shocked look, and after realizing the cause of the sound, he can’t help but mutter in wonder, “No way, did I succeed in the first try?”

“What?!!!” muttered Kuroto in a shocked tone, as he looked at the traces of Iron Sand still floating in air.

Only now did the realization dawned on him that he had not only succeeded in controlling Iron Sand but was doing it for quite a lot of time.

Upon confirming from the Sandaime Kazekage Puppet beside him, Kuroto learned that he has been continuously controlling the Iron Sand for the past 8 hours without even realizing it.

“Strange, I have been standing in one position for the past 8 hours without even realizing it, no wonder I felt so hungry, obviously I haven’t eaten or drank anything for the past 24 hours.” With that said, Kuroto immediately got up, went to the kitchen section of the Ancor Vantian, found himself something to eat which also included milk as calcium is extremely important for Shikotsumyaku. And while filling his stomach Kuroto also thought about a lot of things, in particular related to Magnet Release.

On the first attempt, a week Magnetic Field was induced by him, of all the metallic Sand scattered in the room, the Iron Sand, in particular, reacted the most, other types of Sand also reacted, but Iron Sand was most affected, which means that this Clone-A’s Chakra synchronizes with the paramagnetic type substances more.

Whether this is a good thing or not is yet to be determined, but Kuroto is without a doubt happy, after all, he managed to succeed in the first attempt, this is by no means a small accomplishment.

Aside from Kuroto’s own understanding, the reason for success is perhaps also related to the Clone-A’s Natural affinity towards all the seven Chakra Natures.

Additionally, there is also another reason for his success, the Iron sand that Kuroto used was borrowed from Sandaime Kazekage Puppet who occasionally uses this Iron Sand while using Magnet Release. And because of repeatedly being Magnetized, the Iron Sand used by him is quite sensitive to the Magnet Release Chakra, so even if there is small Magnetic Induction, it is more susceptible to react.

All these factors when taken into account at the same time become the reason why Kuroto managed to succeed in his first attempt.

“Well now that I have succeeded, and got the hang of it. I must get used to manipulating Iron Sand and improve my degree and range of control over it, additionally, I do have a few other Jutsu that I want to use for this Clone, let’s see to what extent, and to what variant will I be able to develop this Clone.” Muttered Kuroto as he finished his meal, then ventured towards the Training Site.

2 weeks later.

Kuroto who was controlling the Wind Nature Clone-A stood calmly in the training field, opposite him stood Sandaime Kazekage Puppet at a distance of 20m.

Sandaime Kazekage had Iron Sand floating at his back, while Kuroto was wearing a hooded Cloak made of Iron Sand (Sort of like the one Shinki uses in Boruto). The two were facing each other.

Additionally, Iron Sand particles were also floating in the entire room some were repelling each other, and some were attracting each other, sometimes, then would fly in Kuroto’s direction, while the other times, they would move towards the Puppet’s direction.

The different magnetism shown by Iron Sand particles indicates the two different Magnetic Fields in the room, trying to overpower each other.

This alone indicates that although the two are standing still without making any move, the battle between the two is going on.

“It appears that I will be the one to make the First Move.” After a while of trying, Kuroto realized that in the face of experienced Sandaime Kazekage, Kuroto is the one slowly losing, so he changed his tactics and chose to make the first move.

‘Magnet Release: Iron Sand: Black Iron Wings!’

His cloak unfolded and took the shape of Iron Sand Wings, instantly, Kuroto rose into the air and fired countless Iron Sand Feathers towards Sandaime Kazekage Puppet.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!’

Sandaime Kazekage printed the hand seals and instantly controlled the Iron Sand around him forming hundreds of Iron Sand Bullets.

The Iron Sand Wings and Iron Sand Drizzle were fired toward the enemy at the same time and countered each other.

Kuroto did not waste this opportunity, instantly, a large part of Iron Sand Covering him appeared out of the cloak and took the form of several small iron balls with a sharp end.

Then under Kuroto’s further control, these iron balls with a sharp end started to revolve over his head at an extremely high speed, and this speed continued to increase, faster and faster and faster, gradually forming a Chakram of visible current around it.

‘Magnet Release: Electromagnetic Chakram!’

Instantly, under Kuroto’s control, the revolving Chakram rushed towards Sandaime Kazekage.

“That’s dangerous, can’t let it hit me!” Upon realizing how dangerous this attack is, Sandaime Kazekage dare not show any carelessness and instantly controlled almost all the Iron Sand he had access to, to create a Sand shield in order to block the incoming Chakram.

However, contrary to what he had expected, when the Chakram met the Iron Sand Shield, there was no sound of impact, nor was there any struggle for dominance. Because of the current produced by the Electromagnetic Induction due to the acceleration of particles forming the Chakram, the Electromagnetic Field of the Iron Sand Shield created by Sandaime Kazekage collapsed.

Scatter Scatter Scatter

The very next instant, Iron Sand Shield collapsed, the Iron Sand Scattered and the spinning Chakram continued towards the Kazekage Puppet.

“Heh…” Kuroto smirked and immediately stopped the Chakram just when it was an instant away from cutting the Kazekage Puppet into two halves.

He was satisfied with the result, and there is no need to destroy the Puppet.

The purpose of using this attack was to test whether this attack could exploit the weakness of Magnet Release.

“That’s the weakness of Magnet Release, in the face of Lightning Release the Electromagnetic Field keeping the hold of the Magnetic Force collapses, as a result, the metallic sand scatters.

Kuroto of course knows that this weakness of Magnet Release can also be exploited by others against him. Therefore, he worked on methods to negate that effect, induction of Current by the use of the high-speed rotation of charged Iron Sand Particles is the best way to counter it.

As long Kuroto continues to Supply Chakra, the acceleration of charged Iron Sand Particles will not stop, as a result, it will continue to produce Currents through Electromagnetic Induction which will negate Lightning Release attacks to a certain extent.
