Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

This secret technique that temporarily enhances speed will continue to improve as she trains and strengthens her lightning chakra, making Kirito, who is also a lightning ninja, extremely envious.

Of course, injecting a large amount of lightning-style chakra at once would result in a greater boost.

"Oh, the speed has increased again. Is this okay? Your legs won't be able to take it."

Kirito lowered his hands, which were crossed over his abdomen, and smiled.

Any powerful ninjutsu comes at a price. The ability to temporarily enhance speed by stimulating the body with lightning chakra comes at the cost of injury to the stimulated area.

After all, humans are still just mortals. Even if someone cultivates lightning-type transformations and has good resistance to electricity, they still can't withstand being continuously shocked.

Of course, it would be a different story if Chizuru had a terrifying physique like the Third Raikage.

"Hmph, mind your own business."

"Qianhe said coldly, while his hands quickly formed hand seals."

Lightning Release: Earth Walk!

A large amount of electricity was released instantly from her feet, shooting towards Kirito at high speed close to the ground.

Kirito immediately jumped up to avoid the attack.

"Don't even think about running away."

Chizuru quickly completed the hand seals again.

Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!

Numerous electric orbs appeared randomly and shot towards Kirito in mid-air like bullets.

Kirito was instantly pierced by a large number of electric balls.

With a loud "bang".

Kirito turned into a wisp of white smoke, and a piece of broken wood fell from the sky.

Upon seeing this, Chizuru quickly scanned her surroundings with her two-tomoe Sharingan and soon found Kirito hiding behind a large tree using the Substitution Jutsu. She then saw Kirito take out a summoning card and release chakra at it.

Spiritual Spell - Release Technique.

With a loud "bang".

The summoning spell in the summoning card was instantly deactivated.

An iron rod wrapped with a large amount of wire appeared in Kirito's hand.

The next moment, white lightning appeared in Kirito's hand and quickly spread to the entire iron rod.

Kirito mastered the Lightning Release chakra nature two years ago, and after two years of training, he has gained a deeper understanding of it and has become increasingly proficient in its application.

Under his control, a large amount of lightning-attribute chakra was converted into high-voltage current, which flowed at high speed along the wire wrapped around the iron rod.

"Is this your new trick? Let me see."

Chizuru smiled as she watched Kirito take out a strange iron rod she had never seen before.

As she spoke, she quickly formed hand seals again.

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!

A large number of fireballs were suddenly ejected from Chizuru's mouth.

Upon seeing this, Kirito smiled slightly, then thrust the iron rod in his hand into the ground, causing fine electric currents to rapidly coursing across the surface.

The next moment, a large amount of black iron sand rose from the surrounding ground and quickly gathered in front of Kirito, forming a wall of black iron sand that blocked all the incoming fireballs.

"Magnetic Release!"

The Third Hokage, who had been watching the battle through his telescope, was so shocked that he stood up from his chair, dropping the pipe he was smoking.

The ninjutsu that uses iron sand for attack and defense was the signature ninjutsu of the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure. This ninjutsu was developed by the Second Kazekage and ultimately shone brightly in the hands of the Third Kazekage.

The Third Hokage had once fought against the Second Kazekage, the developer of Magnet Release, and immediately recognized that the ninjutsu Kirito was using was Magnet Release.

"Magnetic Release ninjutsu, Kirito, are you using Magnet Release right now?"

Wasabi Mitarashi recognized Kirito's iron sand manipulation as Magnet Release and exclaimed in surprise.

"Magnetic Release, this guy actually knows Magnet Release."

Upon hearing this, Chizuru's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and her two tomoe spun rapidly, attempting to analyze the intricacies of Kirito's Magnet Release ninjutsu and then replicate it.

Unfortunately, although she saw Kirito's chakra flow, she was completely unable to replicate it.

"Magnetic Release? Well, I guess so."

Tongren smiled inwardly.

He doesn't know anything about Magnet Release at all. The secret of Magnet Release is to create magnetic force from chakra, which he doesn't understand at all.

But that's okay, he understands the principle of electricity generating magnetism.

He can now indirectly gain the ability to manipulate magnetism by using electricity generated from lightning chakra and the iron rod in his hand that is wrapped with a lot of wire. Although it looks like Magnet Release on the surface, it is not a ninjutsu at all. It is just his simple use of lightning chakra.

Two years ago, he had already successfully developed his own Magnet Release technique, but unfortunately, he had too little chakra to use it in actual combat.

Now, two years later, his chakra level has reached that of a Chunin, and his skill in manipulating iron sand using magnetism has also greatly improved, to the point that he can barely use it in actual combat.

Today marks the first time in two years that he has showcased this Magnet Release ninjutsu to others.

The requirements for mastering this Magnet Release ninjutsu are very high.

First, one must possess chakra reserves at the Jonin level; only with sufficient chakra can one generate sufficiently powerful high-voltage electricity.

Secondly, it requires excellent chakra control and sufficient computing power. Using electricity to generate magnetism to control magnetic force is a very complex process. Without excellent chakra control and sufficient computing power, it is impossible to control magnetic force at will.

Kirito currently only meets the second condition; he is still lacking in meeting the first.

Therefore, he had to use the iron rod in his hand, which contained a small amount of chakra metal, to compensate, further strengthen the magnetic field, and reduce chakra consumption.

The battle wasn't over yet, and Chizuru's determination to win wouldn't waver just because Kirito used Magnet Release. Instead of using ninjutsu, she used lightning chakra to stimulate her body to accelerate, quickly circled behind Kirito, and then forcefully threw out several senbon needles wrapped with electricity.

These Thousand Sticks, temporarily enhanced by Lightning Release chakra, not only became more powerful, but also faster.

However, for Kirito, whose dynamic vision had been enhanced by natural energy over a long period of time to the point of being comparable to that of a feline, these senbon needles were still too slow. He swung the iron rod in his hand and easily knocked away the attacking senbon needles.

At the same time, as the iron rod was swung, a large amount of iron sand moved like flowing water, forming a wave of iron sand that quickly surged toward Qianhe.

Magnet Release: Waves!

Chizuru immediately dodged, but was shocked to find that her right foot was grabbed by an iron sand hand that suddenly grew from the ground, firmly immobilizing her and making her unable to move for a moment.

"What are you going to do now, Chizuru?"

Kirito clenched his left hand tightly, smiling as he watched Chizuru about to be swallowed by the waves of iron sand.

Magnet Release: Binding Hand!

Chizuru realized she had no time to dodge, so she decisively formed hand seals on the spot and then unleashed a fire dragon at the incoming waves of iron sand.

Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!

The fire dragon collided with the iron sand waves.

A large amount of iron sand was instantly melted into molten iron.

However, the iron sand in the earth was almost inexhaustible. As more iron sand was added, the waves of iron sand completely engulfed the fire dragon and continued to rush towards Chizuru like a torrent.

"Danger."

Upon seeing this, Wasabi Mitarashi instantly realized that something was terribly wrong and quickly formed hand seals.

At the critical moment, a thick wall of water surged up from the ground and blocked Chizuru's way.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall.

When the high-temperature iron sand collided with the water wall, a large amount of steam appeared instantly, and the impact of the iron sand waves was greatly weakened, no longer posing a threat to Chizuru.

Chapter 29: The Hyuga Clan

"Hmm~, the wasabi is pretty good."

The Third Hokage watched as Wasabi Mitarashi stopped Kirito's attack and praised her, his earlier worry vanishing instantly.

Even if Chizuru doesn't like him, Chizuru is still an outstanding young talent in Konoha, and she can't be lost.

Then, he stared intently at Kirito in the image on the crystal ball, a look of satisfaction on his face.

As expected of the genius he and Lord Mito valued, he developed the Magnet Release bloodline limit, which Konoha did not have, at the age of only eight. He is truly a prodigy.

"In this way, Konoha will also have the Magnet Release tradition."

The third generation chuckled to himself, then his eyes narrowed slightly as he thought of something interesting.

The next moment, he immediately said, "Someone come here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a masked ANBU ninja knelt down before the Third Hokage and respectfully said, "Please give your orders, Third Hokage."

"Go and call Kirito over here."

The third generation issued a command.

"what."

The ANBU ninja obeyed the order and then used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

……

"The battle is over. The winner is Kirito Tohsaka. You have no objections, right, Chizuru?"

On the other side, after Mitarashi Wasabi successfully blocked Kirito's attack, she immediately announced the result of the battle.

Chizuru snorted coldly and nodded in acknowledgment.

Although she was competitive, she wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat. She knew that if it weren't for Wasabi Mitarai's rescue, she would have been seriously injured, and losing would have been a certainty.

"Haha, I caught you off guard. Sorry."

Kirito released his ninjutsu, walked over with a grin, carrying an iron rod, and then extended his hand to receive the reconciliation seal from Chizuru.

Seeing this, Chizuru reluctantly extended two fingers to complete the reconciliation seal with Kirito, then quickly withdrew her fingers and glared fiercely at Kirito.

She'll definitely get her revenge for what she suffered today.

It's just Magnet Release; Chizuru Uchiha isn't afraid of it at all.
