Scientific Naruto: The Magneto of the Hyuga Clan

Chapter 14: Chapter 14 The Sniper is Complete, a Variable



The following day, Hinata Satoru pushed open the door and took a deep, refreshing breath.

Due to the Vitality Magnetic Field, even though he didn't sleep for very long yesterday, he was still in good spirits.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still one day left in the holiday, Hinata Satoru planned to pick up the metal arrows he had custom-made before and test their power properly.

Yesterday's breakthrough had improved his control over the Electromagnetic Force. Coupled with the boost provided by all-metal arrows, Hinata Satoru was very eager to see the power of the Magnetic Storm Sniper Rifle he had envisioned.

When he arrived at the custom ninja tool shop, Hinata Satoru felt a bit nervous. After all, these custom arrows were not cheap, and he had also persuaded the shopkeeper on a whim to give him five chakra metal arrows.

Fortunately, the young female clerk didn't give him a hard time. As soon as she saw him, she handed him the custom-made arrows, which made him sigh with emotion. Uchiha Rin was indeed a person who kept her promises.

For the testing location, Hinata Satoru still chose the forest he often went to before.

The sudden appearance of Double Bloodline Limits in the clan had already stirred up quite a commotion, and Hinata Satoru didn't want to attract too much attention.

Hinata Satoru opened the wooden box.

Inside, there were two bundles of metal arrows lying quietly. The larger bundle had been polished very smoothly, reflecting a faint sheen of metal. In the bundle with only five arrows, in addition to the metallic luster, the arrow shafts also faintly emitted a starry blue glow.

「So these are the chakra metal arrows?」

Hinata Satoru picked up two arrows and compared them. The chakra metal arrows were slightly lighter. With the same volume but a lighter weight, according to Newton's second law, acceleration is inversely proportional to weight. Under the same external force, they would gain greater acceleration!

Hinata Satoru took out a scroll from his bosom. After the white mist dissipated, a large bow and arrow appeared in his hand.

First, he tested the regular metal arrows.

He pulled the bowstring and set an arrow. Blue electric currents flowed through his arm, stimulating the muscles to contract more powerfully. He pulled the bowstring taut to its fullest extent, constructed a propulsion magnetic field, and changed the magnetic field of the metal arrow to make it positive, thus gaining a greater repulsive force for acceleration.

If it was when his Electromagnetic Force lv1 before, Hinata Satoru definitely wouldn't have been this relaxed after performing this set of actions. But with the boost of Electromagnetic Force lv2, it seemed to flow smoothly like clouds and water.

The Byakugan was already activated, and a one-kilometer radius was within his line of sight.

When the electromagnetic propulsion reached its limit, Hinata Satoru released his fingers. A sharp crack rang out instantly, and the bow and arrow disappeared in a blue arc of electricity.

Bang!

From the perspective of the Byakugan, Hinata Satoru clearly saw the arrow directly pierce through a tree that two people could wrap their arms around, hundreds of meters away, and stick straight into the tree trunk behind.

「Tsk tsk, with this kind of power, even a Jonin who doesn't have time to dodge would drop dead instantly!」

Hinata Satoru sighed. The only drawback was that because the speed exceeded the speed of sound, a sonic boom would surely occur upon shooting.

However, also because the speed exceeded the speed of sound, the bow and arrow would already reach the target before the enemy heard the sonic boom, so it wouldn't affect the enemy much. But the sonic boom would expose his sniper position.

Therefore, choosing a suitable sniper position was particularly important.

Hinata Satoru exhaled a faint breath, then picked up the chakra metal arrow. If the power of the regular arrows was already so great, would the chakra metal arrows be even stronger?

Drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, when setting up and pushing the magnetic field, Hyuga Satoru was pleasantly surprised to find that the chakra metal arrow was even more sensitive to the magnetic field. This indicated that it could gain an even greater driving force!

Following the same method as before, Hyuga Satoru released his fingers.

Whoosh!

Only to see a lightning arc flash by in a split second.

Hyuga Satoru instantly opened his mouth wide.

The chakra metal arrow almost exceeded the limit of the field of vision of his Byakugan. Like a bolt of thunder, it plunged deeply into a huge tree that three people could hardly encircle.

"Within a thousand meters, this arrow poses a great threat to any ninja!"

He couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Rubbing his chin, he roughly estimated that it was probably due to the special nature of the chakra metal. The muzzle velocity of this arrow was already approaching three times the speed of sound.

The muzzle velocity of a conventional anti - materiel sniper rifle bullet was approximately 850 meters per second, still quite a distance from three times the speed of sound, and the initial kinetic energy was far less than that of this arrow...

In terms of the attack range, it was approximately 1200 meters, similar to the effective range of a conventional anti - materiel sniper rifle. Beyond that distance, both the accuracy and power would decline.

Given his current limits, he could already achieve this. When his Electromagnetic Force ability became even stronger in the future, wouldn't he be even more powerful?

Maybe he could even control the arrow to change direction in mid - flight. Have you ever seen a sniper rifle that can track?

Ninjas are generally relatively fragile, having high attack power but low defense. Under a sudden long - range sniper attack, except for someone as tough as the Third Raikage, even Kage - level powerhouses would probably have to avoid its sharpness for the time being!

Hyuga Satoru exhaled a puff of stale air and carefully retrieved the arrow. He probably wouldn't use this ability in the short term. It could be regarded as a trump card.

On the way back, Hyuga Satoru felt much more at ease. Previously, the shadow of the Third Shinobi World War had been weighing on him, making him not dare to slack off even a little bit.

Now that he had developed a bow - based ninjutsu with quite a bit of power, his self - preservation ability had increased significantly, and the tense nerves in his heart had eased a bit.

Just as he was about to arrive home, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

From afar, he could see that there was now a figure standing at the previously empty doorway, as if they had been waiting there for a long time.

Looking at the face that bore an eight or nine - point resemblance to the person in the main hall, Hyuga Satoru vaguely had a hunch in his heart.

The man gave Hyuga Satoru a kind smile, showing his white teeth and saying, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Hyuga Hizashi. Can I have a chat with you?"

Hyuga Hizashi, just as expected... Hyuga Satoru felt a chill run down his spine.

He walked past Hyuga Hizashi, opened the gate, and then turned back to look at Hyuga Hizashi.

"Lord Hizashi, come in and have a talk."

Hyuga Hizashi followed Hyuga Satoru into the room and looked around curiously. In one corner of the room, there were piles of worn - out metal items. Except for simple daily utensils, there was no other furniture.

"I usually don't have time to clean up the room because of my training. I hope Lord Hizashi can forgive me."

Hyuga Satoru dragged out a chair and motioned for Hyuga Hizashi to sit down.

Looking at Hyuga Satoru's maturity that belied his age, Hyuga Hizashi suddenly felt a bit sad. He sighed and said, "It's been so many years since Unryu passed away. You must have gone through a lot, right?"

Hyuga Satoru slightly raised his eyebrows. Hyuga Unryu was the father of his original self. So it seemed that Hyuga Hizashi knew him. However, as a transmigrator, Hyuga Satoru's memories of him were quite vague.

Seeing that Hyuga Satoru didn't say anything, Hyuga Hizashi thought he was immersed in the pain of his father's death, so he continued.

「I heard from the clansmen that you awakened the Second Bloodline Limit (a special ability unique to the Hyuga clan in the Naruto world) because you were too grief-stricken over your father's death?」

Hyuga Satoru's mouth twitched slightly in amusement or annoyance. This was something he made up on the spot in the main hall of the clan to get by, but he didn't expect it to have spread, and even Hyuga Hizashi knew about it.

「Why have I never seen you train with the clansmen?」Hyuga Hizashi asked.

「I've awakened the Second Bloodline Limit. I'm considered an outlier in the family. It's better for me to train alone.」

Hyuga Satoru said. This was indeed what he thought in his heart. The path he was taking was different from all the other clansmen, so it was better to have less contact with them.

Unexpectedly, right after he finished speaking, he heard Hyuga Hizashi let out a sigh and say with a hint of unwillingness and frustration.

「Do you think that awakening the Second Bloodline Limit makes you an outlier? No. I used to think that the clan was like a stagnant pond and would never change, until I heard about you.」

「You, who have awakened the Second Bloodline Limit, are definitely not an outlier, but a variable, proving that the decaying ancient tree that represents the Hyuga clan still has new vitality.」

Hearing these words from Hizashi that were clearly full of hidden meaning and implications, Hyuga Satoru's expression became a bit more solemn as he said.

「Lord Hizashi, did you come here today for something?」

Hyuga Hizashi gradually composed himself and calmed his emotions, shook his head, and his voice became much softer.

「No, I just wanted to come and see you, to see the newly grown green leaves on this decaying ancient tree, a symbol of hope and change within the clan.」

「Maybe I was a bit too abrupt.」

He let out a sigh and stood up from the chair.

「I'll take my leave first. If you have any needs in your training in the future, you can also come to me.」

Looking at Hyuga Hizashi's departing back, Hyuga Satoru's gaze underwent a complex series of changes.

In the original work, Hyuga Hizashi should have hated the main branch family of the clan to the extreme. He was even tortured by his own elder brother with the Caged Bird seal (a seal that restricts one's actions and power within the Hyuga clan) because he showed murderous intent towards Hinata. In the end, completely disheartened, he committed suicide on behalf of Hiashi as a sacrifice.

From any aspect, it could be seen that he hated the decaying system of the Hyuga clan.

Hyuga Satoru had a feeling that he would come to find him again.

Even if it was for the variable he mentioned, the newly grown green leaves on this decaying ancient tree, a symbol of hope and change within the clan.
