Revolution in the Ninja World

Habara spent an entire month squatting at Hidden Stream Path. In the blink of an eye, Konoha Year 48 had arrived.

It was time for this long period of outdoor training to come to an end. Compared to a month ago, saying that Habara had undergone a complete transformation would be an exaggeration, but he did feel significantly different.

It was a bit regrettable that, in the end, Habara hadn't been able to improve his climbing time to under thirty seconds. He hadn't achieved this goal, but by the end, he was quite close to that number, indicating that he had no problems with his chakra control.

After gaining a certain understanding and comprehension of the special energy that was chakra, Habara finally confirmed something: his "Magnet Release" was indeed composed of the three chakra natures of Earth, Wind, and Lightning. In other words, according to this world's definition, it truly wasn't a kekkei genkai, but a kekkei touta.

Although he had confirmed this, Habara decided to temporarily keep it a secret, because he really didn't want to increase his own rarity… From his experiences in the dungeon those days, Orochimaru didn't really value Magnet Release ninjas that much. That is to say, he didn't think this kekkei genkai was particularly rare or valuable. But what if a kekkei genkai wasn't a kekkei genkai, but a kekkei touta?

So, don't go looking for trouble.

Aside from the special abilities brought by the unique release, on a fundamental level, this also meant that Habara was naturally proficient in the nature transformations of three chakra attributes. So, in a sense, he could also be considered a talented individual.

The two chakra natures of Earth and Wind required hand seals and jutsu to exert their power, but Lightning Release was a bit different. In fact, as long as chakra was transformed into the Lightning nature, it possessed a certain degree of power and practicality.

The problem was that Lightning Release tested a person's endurance considerably. To put it bluntly, you had to get shocked first before you could shock others.

For techniques like Chidori Stream, it wasn't so much that the difficulty in training lay in refining high-intensity Lightning Release, but rather in how the user could withstand this Lightning Release themselves.

But since Habara was a Magnet Release ninja, he could solve this problem in a rather unconventional way. Although his current use of Magnet Release was still very crude, he could already begin to envision a bright future.

Habara's limited knowledge of physics from his previous life told him that the electromagnetic force was the second strongest of the four fundamental forces, while gravity was the weakest. On a microscopic level, the electromagnetic force between two electrons was roughly 10^40 to 10^50 times stronger than the gravitational force. It could be said that they weren't even on the same order of magnitude.

If this gap could be manifested on a macroscopic scale, heh heh, what Chibaku Tensei? Everyone would have to debate who was more qualified to carry the rice… Okay, the above imagination belonged to the realm of "anything is possible in dreams."

Setting aside unrealistic fantasies, in addition to solidifying his foundation, during these thirty days, Habara had completed the development of three attack-type ninjutsu he had envisioned and achieved a basic application of Lightning Release. Thus, besides close combat, he finally had other conventional attack capabilities.

In addition, Habara also realized that he had unknowingly mastered a unique skill – a 100% success rate at catching blades with his bare hands. If it was a frontal slash, he was completely confident that he could catch it barehanded, unless the opponent was using a plastic knife.

Besides the things he had figured out and learned, there were some things Habara still hadn't figured out, such as his "special passive" with unclear activation conditions. Although it was useless at the moment, it definitely represented a correct direction for the future. After all, Habara's body could already carry natural energy… Although his physical transformation had nothing to do with the Cursed Seal, out of habit, he decided to temporarily call it "Cursed Seal Mode: Blood Release Technique."

In short, during this month, Habara had basically achieved the training goals he had set for himself beforehand. In any case, it was something to be thankful for to be able to have such a complete and long period of training time during the war. To put it bluntly, this was thanks to the sacrifices of his original squad members… After so much time had passed, Squad Z still hadn't been fully restaffed.

If he were to summarize his training life during this period in one sentence, it would be this – knowledge is power, and self-studying for an elementary school diploma is much better than a prenatal education dropout.

After completing his training, Habara cleaned up the living waste he had left behind for a long time. Then, after stretching, he walked towards Konoha.

Habara was currently considering whether or not to go to the coordinates left by the female ninja, Hotaru. He might be able to discover some of Orochimaru's little secrets there. But after thinking about it, he still suppressed this impulse… Now wasn't the time.

While thinking about these things, Habara unknowingly arrived at the main gate of Konoha. When he instinctively looked up, he suddenly found that he had encountered an "acquaintance" – although Habara had never seen the other person in this life, this person's attire was too iconic. It could be said that it was hard to forget, even if one wanted to.

After all, only one eye was exposed on his entire face.

"Hatake Kakashi…" Habara instinctively said the other person's name.

Kakashi clearly heard Habara's voice. He looked up and glanced at Habara. After discovering that he didn't know this person, he continued walking with his head down… It was normal for a genius like him to be recognized by strangers.

Seeing his idol, Habara wanted to go over and ask for an autograph. How about signing "Hatake Fifty-Fifty"… Okay, that was just a joke.

During this time, Habara had even seen Namikaze Minato from a distance, but what use was that? Ultimately, they weren't people from the same world.

At this moment, Kakashi looked somewhat gloomy. After all, he had lost his teammate a few years ago, and soon he would become even gloomier, because he was about to lose his teacher.

In Habara's memory, the end of the Shinobi World War was marked by the succession of the Fourth Hokage. That is to say, the Third Shinobi World War ended shortly after Namikaze Minato became Hokage. But the reality wasn't like that; his memory was flawed… Even after the death of the Fourth, the Shinobi World War continued for several more years.

Seeing Hatake Kakashi leave Konoha alone, his figure disappearing at the end of the road, Habara turned his head to look at the village, which was being enveloped by the setting sun.

Scattered cooking smoke obscured the sunset glow in the sky. As evening approached, a burst of playful laughter and an atmosphere of peace blended together in the most ordinary way. This everyday scene made people yearn for it.

If time could continue like this, that would be the best.

Unfortunately, the Shinobi World War still had some fighting left to do.
