Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Magnet Release
"Hurry up and use your full strength."
After a brief exchange of blows, Chizuru's feet flashed with electricity and exploded with even faster speed than just a moment ago, instantly arriving behind Kirito and sending him flying with a kick.
Chizuru had an innate affinity for two chakra nature variations of fire and lightning.
In order to be able to surpass Kirito in terms of speed, she had successfully developed the lightning attribute, the second variation of chakra nature, in the past two years, and then learned the secret art of temporarily enhancing her speed by stimulating her body with lightning attribute chakra with the help of a certain Uchiha ninja who was well-versed in lightning release ninjutsu.
This kind of temporary enhancement of the secret art of speed will continue to improve with her training and strengthening of the lightning attribute chakra, so that the same as the lightning ninja Kirito, jealous.
Of course, the enhancement would be even greater if a large amount of lightning attribute chakra was injected at once.
"Ah, the speed has gotten faster again, is this okay, your feet will not be able to take it, right?"
Kirito lowered his hands that were crossed to protect his abdomen and laughed.
Any powerful ninjutsu comes at a price, and the price to be paid for an ability like stimulating the physical body with lightning-attribute chakra to temporarily strengthen the speed is that the stimulated area will be injured.
After all, humans are mortals. Even if people who have cultivated lightning properties have good electrical resistance, they can't stand continuous shock.
Of course, if Chizuru had a terrifying physical body like Third Raikage's it would be another story.
"Hmph, mind your own business."
Chizuru spoke coldly, while rapidly forming seals with both hands.
Lightning Release - Earth Walk!
A large amount of electric current was instantly released from under her feet and shot at Kirito at high speed against the ground.
Kirito, on the other hand, immediately jumped up to avoid the attack.
"Don't think about running."
Chizuru once again quickly completed her seals.
Lightning Release - Thunder Ball!
A large number of electric balloons randomly appeared and shot at Kirito in mid-air like bullets.
Kirito was instantly pierced by a large number of electric balloons.
"Boom~".
Kirito turned into a cloud of white smoke and a piece of battered wood fell from the air.
Seeing this, Chizuru quickly scanned the surrounding area with his two-tomoe Sharingan and quickly found Kirito, who was hiding behind a large tree utilizing the Substitute Jutsu, and then saw Kirito take out a summoning scroll and release chakra into it.
Summoning Jutsu-Release Jutsu.
"Boom~".
The Summoning Jutsu in the summoning scroll was instantly unraveled.
An iron rod with a large amount of wire wrapped around it appeared in Kirito's hand.
In the next moment, white lightning appeared in Kirito's hand, quickly spreading to the entire iron rod.
The lightning attribute chakra nature, Kirito had already been practicing it two years ago, and now after two years of refinement, he had a deeper understanding of the lightning attribute chakra nature, and his use of the lightning attribute chakra was becoming more and more skillful.
Under his control, a large amount of lightning attribute chakra was transformed into high-voltage electric current and flowed at high speeds along the iron wires wrapped around the iron bar.
"Is this your new trick, let me see it."
Chizuru smiled as she watched Kirito pull out the strange iron rod that she had never seen before.
As she spoke, she once again completed her seals with both hands at high speed.
Fire Release - Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu!
A large amount of firebombs instantly shot out from Chizuru's mouth.
Seeing this, Kirito smiled slightly and thrust the iron rod in his hand towards the ground, and fine electric currents instantly traveled rapidly on the ground.
In the next moment, a large amount of black iron sand suddenly rose up from the surrounding ground, quickly converging in front of Kirito, forming a wall of black iron sand, blocking all of the incoming firebombs.
"Magnet Release!"
Sandaime, who had been watching the battle with his telescope technique, was so shocked that he stood up from his chair and dropped the pipe he held in his mouth.
A jutsu that utilized iron sand for attack and defense, this was none other than the Sand Ninja Village's Third Kazekage's favored jutsu, a jutsu that was developed by the Second Kazekage, and ultimately shone in the hands of Third Kazekage.
Sandaime had once fought with the Second Kazekage, a developer of Magnet Release, and instantly recognized that Kirito was now using the jutsu precisely as Magnet Release.
"Magnet Release, Kirito, are you using Magnet Release now?"
Mikado Aoi also recognized that Kirito's manipulation of iron sand was Magnet Release, and said in surprise.
"Magnet Release, this guy actually mastered Magnet Release."
When Chizuru heard this, the pupils of her eyes shrunk to pinpoints, and her two-tomoe rotated rapidly, wanting to use this to analyze Kirito's use of the Magnet Release Mystery, and then replicate it.
Unfortunately, although she saw Kirito's chakra flow, she was completely unable to copy it.
"Magnet Release? Well, sort of."
Kirito laughed in his heart.
He didn't know any real Magnet Release, the secret of Magnetism was the birth of magnetism from chakra, and he was completely confused about it.
But it didn't matter, he knew the principle of electricity generating magnetism.
He could now indirectly obtain the ability to manipulate magnetic force by using the electricity generated by the lightning attribute chakra and the iron bar in his hand with a large number of wires wrapped around it. Although on the surface it appeared to be Magnet Release, in essence, it was not a ninjutsu at all, but simply his use of the lightning attribute chakra.
Two years ago, he had already successfully developed his own Magnet Release, but unfortunately, his chakra was too small to be utilized in actual combat.
Now that two years had passed, his chakra amount had reached the chunin level, and his skill in utilizing magnetic force to manipulate iron sand had grown greatly, so he could barely use it in actual combat.
Today was the first time in two years that he had unveiled this magnet release in front of others.
The hard conditions for mastering this kind of magnet release are very high.
First of all, you must have the amount of chakra at the jonin level, and only if you have enough chakra will you be able to generate strong enough high-voltage electricity.
Secondly, excellent chakra manipulation power and enough computational power, the use of electricity to generate magnetism to manipulate the magnetic force is a very complex process, without excellent chakra manipulation power and enough computational power is not possible to manipulate the magnetic force at will.
Of the two conditions, Kirito currently only fulfilled the second one, the first one was still lacking.
Therefore, he had to make up for it by utilizing the iron bar in his hand that incorporated a small amount of chakra metal to further strengthen the magnetic field and reduce chakra consumption.
The battle wasn't over yet, Chizuru wasn't going to let Kirito's determination to win waver just because he used his Magnet Release, she no longer used her Ninjutsu, but instead accelerated her body by stimulating her flesh with her Lightning Attribute Chakra, quickly circling around behind Kirito and then forcefully flinging out several senbon wrapped in electric currents.
After these senbon were temporarily strengthened with lightning attribute chakra, not only did they become more powerful, but so did their speed.
But for Kirito, whose dynamic vision had been strengthened by natural energy for a long time and was already comparable to that of a cat, the speed of these senbon was still too slow, and he swung the iron rod in his hand, easily knocking the incoming senbon away.
At the same time, between the swing of the iron rod, a large amount of iron sand suddenly moved like flowing water, forming a wave of iron sand rapidly surging towards Chizuru.
Magnet Release - Wave!
Chizuru immediately dodged, but she suddenly realized that her right foot was actually grabbed by a hand of iron sand that suddenly grew out of the ground, firmly confining her in place, making her unable to move for a while.
"What are you going to do now, Chizuru."
Kirito clenched his left hand at that moment and smiled as he looked ahead at Chizuru, who was about to be engulfed by a wave of iron sand.
Magnet Release-Forbidden Hand!
Chizuru realized that it was too late for her to dodge, so she decisively made a seal in place, and then sprayed a fire dragon at the incoming iron sand wave.
Fire Release - Great Dragon Fire Technique!
The fire dragon collided with the iron sand waves.
A large amount of iron sand was instantly melted and turned into molten iron.
However, the iron sand in the earth was almost inexhaustible, and as the subsequent replenishment of iron sand followed, the waves of iron sand completely engulfed the fire dragon and continued to rush towards Chizuru like a torrent.
"Dangerous."
Seeing this, Mikado Aoi instantly realized that something bad was happening and quickly performed a seal.
At the critical moment, a thick wall of water surged out from the ground and blocked in front of Chizuru.
Water Release - Water Formation Wall.
High-temperature iron sand collided with the water wall, a large amount of steam instantly appeared, the impact of the iron sand waves was also greatly weakened, and could no longer pose a threat to Chizuru.
