Super Electromagnetic Cannon
She was just hesitating before.
Firstly, Sasuke and Kakashi were deeply engaged in developing Chidori, so they wanted to experiment with the new technique themselves first and give it to them later, which is why it took so long.
More importantly, the Ice Release: Leviathan's Wrath she unleashed during her fight with Kakuzu allowed Sakura Haruno to experience being transformed into the S-rank Kerrigan, Queen of Blades, and now she's showing renewed interest in the S-rank Mikoto Misaka. Railgun truly embodies the saying: when girls are cool, boys have nothing to do with it.
--At least Touma Kamijou is no longer involved.
After all, the former is the protagonist of the masterpiece A Certain Scientific Railgun, while the latter is just the male lead of the terrible A Certain Magical Index...
So Sakura's initial thought was to at least let her show off a bit first.
S- Railgun's chance is so rare, it's a truly precious opportunity.
Sakura Haruno once had a rather chuunibyou (delusional) idea: to use Transformation Technique to turn her hair into short, brown hair, then shoot an enemy, and incidentally use Genjutsu to play the rousing theme song of A Certain Super Electromagnetic Cannon, NLY-Y-RAILGUN...
For someone whose mental age should be considered that of a strange uncle or an old aunt to have such thoughts shows that she was indeed very fond of this character...
However, we shouldn't dwell on this little thing. Who knows when she'll have time to learn Lightning Release? Since we have an opportunity now, let's just give them the technique directly.
Putting aside these chuunibyou fantasies, and disregarding the tea-colored hair and theme song, the Super Electromagnetic Cannon itself is a Ninjutsu worthy of study.
In the Earth world, Railgun mostly fire metal projectiles weighing 10-20 kilograms at speeds of several Mach to attack targets hundreds of kilometers away. However, if applied to the Hokage world, Kunai around 100 grams or even lighter darts should be considered as ammunition, with targets mostly within a kilometer's range.
If the Chakra consumed by Lightning Release - Super Electromagnetic Cannon is equivalent to that consumed by Lightning Release - Lightning Blade Chakra.
Because the Lightning Blade is famous for cutting off lightning, its current intensity and energy content can be considered to be higher than that of Lightning Blade, estimated at 5 billion joules. Such energy, when used to accelerate the Kunai and convert it into Kunai energy, means that it can accelerate the Kunai to a speed of over 0 kilometers per second!
However, in reality, it's impossible for all the energy from Ninjutsu to be converted into the kinetic energy of Kunai.
Converting Chakra into a massive electric current of Lightning Release will result in varying degrees of loss depending on the individual's Chakra control.
When constructing electromagnetic rails in the air, the enormous resistance wastes a significant portion of the current energy.
Therefore, given that the Super Electromagnetic Cannon Ninjutsu requires extremely precise design, it's not surprising that a less skilled ninja could only convert about 10% of the energy into the kinetic energy of the Kunai.
"In short, the power of the Kunai launched using this technique varies depending on the amount of Chakra consumed and the individual's situation," Sakura summarized. "At your current level, if you launch it at full power, you can probably reach an initial velocity of around Mach 4 or 5 per second, with so-so power."
"Mach 4 or 5 per second?" Sasuke frowned, imagining it in his mind. A speed of Mach 4 or 5 per second was already incredibly fast. "You call that so-so?"
"That's relative to the true power of this move; a few Mach is still too slow..." Sakura Haruno shook her head and added, "If a 'Kage' level powerhouse were to unleash it at full power, the Kunai could even reach speeds of ten kilometers per second, or even tens of kilometers per second! Do you know what ten kilometers per second means?"
In typical ninja combat, the distance between them and the enemy is within 100 meters. The projectile fired by the Super Electromagnetic Cannon can cross this distance in just 0.01 seconds. At that moment, the visual signal generated on the enemy's retina as they see the bullet flying towards them has only just reached their brain!
At such terrifying speeds, it can easily penetrate a ten-meter-thick concrete wall—a record set by Railgun with speeds of two to three thousand meters per second in the Earth world. In the Hokage world, the projectiles fired by the Lightning Release - Super Electromagnetic Cannon: Electromagnetic Cannon have speeds several times higher than the former, so their penetrating power is probably ten times greater than that of Railgun in the Earth world!
Therefore, the Lightning Release - Super Electromagnetic Cannon can even penetrate hundreds of meters of soil or mountains in a single shot...
Such power is enough to make one invincible in battles below the Kage Level.
In reality, even Kage Level enemies wouldn't have many who could withstand this attack head-on.
Even if you're not directly hit, but just brush past it, the shockwave from the high-speed projectile can rupture your internal organs! If it's the first time an enemy has encountered this move and doesn't know how to dodge it, most people will probably suffer from this attack, or even lose their lives.
As for battles at the Kage Level or above, that's not good. After all, no one will just stand there and wait for you to prepare an S-rank Ninjutsu and blast them away... However, if you get hit by the Railgun —for example, large summons like Gamabunta are easily hit by Railgun —you could very well be killed in one hit!
When a block of iron traveling at 10 kilometers per second strikes a target, it will be pierced through no matter what kind of defense it is. Even a flesh-and-blood body, even with Chakra to enhance its physical form, cannot withstand such Ninjutsu.
Sakura Haruno gave a brief introduction to the power of the Super Electromagnetic Cannon.
"Sasuke, the Super Electromagnetic Cannon Ninjutsu would be a great addition to your combat system," she concluded.
Sasuke's Lightning Release system was indeed very powerful, but unfortunately, it could only be effective at close range. Once the opponent created distance, his Lightning Release Nintaijutsu became somewhat ineffective.
Therefore, this kind of Ninjutsu, which is applicable to medium- and long-range combat, or even ultra-long-range combat, is actually quite suitable for Sasuke and can completely make up for one of his major weaknesses.
As for Kakashi, who is said to have mastered a thousand Ninjutsu, although he is not lacking in long-range attack methods, no one would complain about having too many long-range, deadly Ninjutsu that does not consume much more energy Lightning Blade.
The black-haired boy pondered for a moment and then agreed.
"Such powerful Ninjutsu," he looked up at Sakura and said, "Are you really going to hand it over to us?"
"We're Team 7... Don't ask such a stupid question!" Sakura Haruno smiled gently.
Team 7... they were comrades who had gone through thick and thin together. Even in her previous life, she had never encountered such friends who had shared hardships with her.
Sasuke taken aback.
Team 7... that's certainly a good reason.
Some things can be conveyed in just one sentence.
Sasuke stopped dwelling on the matter.
Even though he always maintained a calm expression, a slight smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of his mouth.
"Never mind that, I'll teach you when we get to the Land of Snow anyway," Sakura waved her hand and said, "By the way, have you finished writing your reply to Naruto?"
"Yes, it's finished." Sasuke took a folded letter out of his pocket and handed it to the girl.
Among the letters Jiraiya sent earlier, besides his own, there was also a letter from Naruto.
The letter contained nothing more than a rambling account of his recent situation and the problems he encountered in his cultivation. His writing was poor, and the letter was long and tedious, but Sakura and Sasuke still read it with great interest.
During this time, the Fourteenth Squad confronted Akatsuki's Immortal Squad head-on and obtained a lot of important intelligence. Tsunade then decided to write a reply to Jiraiya.
Besides official business, it's fine to slip in a few private messages as well... so Sasuke and Sakura replied.
"Alright, give the letter to Master in a bit. It should be mailed out in a few days." Sakura Haruno nodded and Sasuke's letter into a bulging, oversized envelope.
"Hey, what did you put in that envelope...?" Sasuke suddenly had a bad feeling. "It's stuffed so full!"
"Naruto complained that it was difficult to incorporate Nature Transformation into the Rasengan, right? I found a lot of information for him, along with my personal insights into Ninjutsu, about 608,000 words in total. It should be helpful to him. Hmm... it's a bit much, but Uncle Jiraiya will make sure Naruto finishes reading it!"
She patted the envelope, pressing it firmly, and said with a smile.
Sasuke's lips twitched, and he secretly reached up to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Good luck, Naruto!" he thought to himself...
