Chapter 688: Explosion Release
On a deserted volcanic island, somewhere near the Land of Lightning.
‘Katsu!’
As soon as the sound was heard, there was a rumbling explosion on the island, Booooom! Following this, the ground shook, a shockwave swept the island and a large cloud of dust and smoke rose into the sky.
Looking at the aftereffects of the explosion in front of her, the corner of blonde-haired kunoichi’s lips arched in a proud smirk.
Undoubtedly, this blonde-haired Kunoichi is one of the two causes of the explosion just now, as for the other cause, well, it’s the white bird made up of the explosive clay that exploded just now.
Yes, you heard it correctly… The white bird is made up of explosive clay… And not just any explosive clay, but the explosive clay that Kuroto configured himself.
Based on observation and tests, Kuroto has confirmed that the power of the explosive clay he configured is as high as the power of the explosive clay configured by Deidara, and not just explosive power, even its malleability and chakra conduction and many other properties are as good as that of Deidara’s clay…
After seeing the results of the improvement, the blonde-haired Kunoichi looked at the white clay in her hand and grinned, “Well, it wasn’t as hard as I thought!”
The blonde-haired Kunoichi configured her own composition of the explosive clay using the sample she had obtained from Konoha, although they weren’t the latest, they were more than enough for her to research various types of explosive clays used in the Shinobi World, and carry out a comprehensive analysis of her own…
So, after her research, she collected various types of materials, carefully studied their properties, and finally combined the most suitable ones into this product in her hand.
Now that the explosive clay is nearly ready, the next step is to master the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai, it’s a very important step.
It’s not that without learning Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai she won’t be able to use the explosive clay to create explosions, she can, but those explosions won’t be as effective and damaging as she wants them to be.
The reason why Deidara’s clay puppets are so terrifying and destructive is that he infuses his Explosion Release chakra into the clay figurines. Because of the Explosion Release chakra infused in them, when they explode, their destructive power greatly increases by several folds… Even an inconspicuous little spider made of that clay becomes extremely deadly.
If Kuroto wants his Earth Chakra Nature Clone to have as much destructive power as Deidara, then mastering the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai is essential.
With that understood, the blonde-haired Kunoichi walked towards the shore of the island.
She took a deep breath and looked at the endless sea in front of her… the stillness of the sea calmed her nerves, and freed her of all her thoughts, allowing her to be able to clearly feel the chakra inside her body.
After stabilizing the Earth Chakra, her primary chakra Nature, she frowned her brows and focused on the Chakra of the Lightning Chakra, which is her secondary Chakra Nature.
Controlling the Lightning Chakra is somewhat troublesome, but nothing too difficult for someone with her experience in controlling chakra.
‘This is perfect…’
Explosion Release is a Nature Transformation Kekkei Genkai, a combination of Earth Chakra and the Lightning Chakra, and since the blonde-haired Kunoichi has both the chakra as her primary and secondary chakra nature respectively, so mastering Explosion Release shouldn’t be too difficult for her, especially if you consider that she already has experience in mastering several Kekkei Genkai prior to this.
Anyway, after feeling the two Chakra natures, she controlled them simultaneously, this was nothing new to her.
With a calm expression, she brought the Earth Chakra Nature in her left hand, gathered it on her left palm, and the Lightning Chakra Nature in her right hand, gathered it on her right palm, and then, “Nice and slow…” Muttering such words under her breath. She started to slowly fuse them into a single chakra Nature.
Earth Chakra Nature, Chakra that increases the solidity and composition of all things. Lightning Chakra Nature, Chakra that electrocutes. Under her control, these two chakra natures with different properties slowly and steadily began to fuse into a single chakra nature.
The process and speed of fusion went nice and smooth.
It didn’t take very long before she started to feel the changes in her body too, as a new chakra property took birth, and was added to her body…
When the small sparks and very small explosions appeared on her palms, she knew… “It’s a success… This is Explosion Release!” and cheered.
The small explosions that appeared on her palm out of thin air are direct proof that she has succeeded.
Having mastered the Explosion Release, she thought of Deidara and compared herself to him.
Deidara’s application of Explosion Release is different, he infuses his Explosion Release chakra into the explosive clay… that’s just his method of using it, not all use the same method… it would be better to say that most, if not all the shinobi use the Explosion Release in the most conventional method.
Just think about it, Explosion Release is Kekkei Genkai allows users to create explosions while touching something, heck, they can even explode their own chakra, so truth be told there is no real necessity of touching something. Just like the blonde-haired Kunoichi did just now.
At first, she thought that her method of using Explosion Release is correct, but upon rethinking, she felt otherwise.
Although her method of using Explosion Release is very good, it has its limitations.
First and foremost, the range within which she can create explosions is limited… and as if that wasn’t bad enough, she can’t create large-scale explosions since it will end up hurting her.
So while very useful in close-quarters hand-to-hand combat, when it comes down to long-distance shinobi warfare, her method of using Explosion Release sort of becomes less effective.
Therefore, it makes sense that Deidara chose to change his approach and opted to use clay figurines and infuse his Explosion Release Chakra into them… using those clay figurines to create explosions gave him more range and also allowed him to use large-scale explosions without getting involved in them.
Since the blonde-haired Kunoichi was able to think of this problem, so she decided to use Deidara’s method as well… but, unlike Deidara, she doesn’t plan on giving up the conventional method of using the Explosion Release. Close-quarter combat is a very common form of shinobi warfare, in close-quarter combat, Explosion Release has its own advantage.
Of course, she also has some plans of her in her mind, and some different approaches she has thought of. These different approaches will give improve her combat methods.
Anyway, now that she has mastered the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai, now she has to test it…
With this thought in her mind, she took out a white figurine from her shinobi bag, infused Explosion Release Chakra into it, and then tossed it on the ground.
Poof…
With a poof of white smoke, a giant bird made up of white clay appeared on the ground.
She jumped on the back of the giant bird, and said, “Let’s take off…”
Following her order, the giant bird spread its giant wings, and took off…
