Maxwell's Electromagnetic Theory and Lightning Release: Super Electromagnetic Cannon Jutsu!

Beyond saving.

After having a heart-to-heart with Shisui, Kaze finally understood what it meant to play the lute to a cow.

Then again, it made sense. Shisui had been influenced by the Will of Fire since childhood.

How could he possibly change his view of the Third Hokage because of just a few words from Kaze?

Sure enough...

That man Shisui had to die.

"Kaze!"

Just as Kaze was lamenting this inwardly, Sasuke finally stopped repeating his attempts. He turned around, the corners of his mouth raised as he waved at Kaze.

His face was brimming with pride.

After countless attempts, Sasuke had finally released a Great Fireball Technique over two meters in diameter.

Though it was still not on the same scale as Tama's, it was Sasuke's best result in a long while!

"Uchiha Sasuke, you're amazing."

Kaze generously gave him a thumbs-up, praising Sasuke's Great Fireball Technique.

Big and round.

It was no weaker than the techniques of those Genin who had attended the Ninja Academy.

Only...

When Sasuke heard himself being called Uchiha Sasuke, great confusion filled his delicate eyes. "Uchiha Sasuke?"

"Aren't you the Clan Head's second son?" Kaze bluffed without a second thought.

"So that's what it means." Sasuke clenched his right hand into a fist and struck it against his left palm, suddenly enlightened.

Two was because he was his father's second son.

Pillar corresponded to his name.

And the final "son" probably represented how highly he was regarded.

After filling in the blanks himself, Sasuke felt even happier.

Meanwhile, a thought suddenly came to Kaze.

"Since I watched your Great Fireball Technique, I should put on a little demonstration too."

As he spoke, Kaze rose from the grass and took a coin from his pocket with his right hand.

Both Sasuke and Shisui had their attention drawn to Kaze's movements.

Kaze held his arm straight out horizontally, pressed his thumb against the pad of his index finger, and balanced the coin neatly over his thumbnail.

Sasuke tilted his head, not quite understanding what Kaze was doing.

In truth...

This was merely an idea Kaze had.

A way to explore the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Kaze adjusted his breathing and slowly activated the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Crackle!

In an instant, several pale-blue currents flickered over Kaze's hand, continuously rubbing against one another.

Before crossing over, Kaze had attended high school in Hengshui.

He still remembered a thing or two about Maxwell's electromagnetic field theory.

Electricity produced magnetism because moving charges generated magnetic fields in space.

In other words, as long as he could make electric charges move through a designated area, he could establish an electromagnetic field within the range he needed.

At that thought, Kaze narrowed his eyes.

The next instant, he lightly exerted force with his thumb, flicking the balanced coin rapidly into the air.

When it rose to roughly half a meter, the coin was affected by gravity and began to fall freely.

A trace of confusion flashed through Sasuke and Shisui's eyes.

They did not understand what Kaze was doing.

Was he showing off a Ninjutsu?

But how much destructive power could a copper coin possibly have?

"Whew..."

Naturally, Kaze paid no attention to what the two people thought. He merely focused his attention and continuously accelerated the movement of the charges.

As the coin fell freely, an invisible electromagnetic field formed in his hand!

Electric light flickered.

His power was concentrated into a tiny area!

Precisely where the coin was falling!

Boom!

The immense force generated by the electromagnetic field poured entirely into that tiny coin.

In an instant, the energy produced propelled it forward at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow!

The sound was like thunder roaring in his ears.

A golden beam of energy shot from Kaze's fingertips!

At the same time, it unleashed an unimaginably terrifying blast wave!

Not only did it annihilate all the grass on the ground, it also plowed a half-meter-deep trench through the earth!

Sasuke had never expected such a tiny coin to possess such terrifying destructive power. Startled, he instinctively shut his eyes.

His bangs fluttered in the wind.

His little feet desperately gripped the ground, yet he was still pushed back more than twenty meters!

When Kaze's beam of energy crossed the Naka River, it carved a black line across the surface of the endlessly flowing water.

Then, the black line rapidly widened, splitting the river's surface into two halves.

One side was cut off while the other continued flowing downstream.

It exposed the bare riverbed beneath!

In barely a fraction of a second, the energy blast Kaze unleashed struck the Forest on the opposite bank.

Rumble!

Another deafening explosion rang out.

The coin slammed into a boulder and instantly melted into molten copper under the terrifying heat. A cloud of gray dust erupted across the open ground!

From afar, it resembled a Mushroom Cloud blooming on the opposite shore!

Even Kaze was startled by the destructive power of that tiny coin.

"It worked."

Kaze had actually attempted that attack expecting it might fail.

Yet he had never imagined it would succeed on the first try!

Only after the noise in his ears gradually faded did the tense Sasuke slowly open his eyes.

The crater in the flat ground.

The divided Naka River.

And that blooming Mushroom Cloud.

Every sight struck his vision with tremendous force.

Combined, the three scenes produced more than triple the impact.

Sasuke drew in a sharp breath on the spot.

"Kaze is actually such an amazing ninja?!"

In truth, it was not only the sheltered five-year-old Sasuke who was dumbfounded.

Even the worldly Shisui stood frozen on the spot.

By visual estimation, the effective range of Kaze's Ninjutsu was at least fifty or sixty meters.

What kind of concept was that?

The Great Fire Dragon Technique he was best at only had an effective range of twenty meters!

Yet his clansmen had already called him a Fire Release genius.

Compared to Kaze's Lightning Release...

It simply...

Was like comparing a tiny shaman to a great wizard!

"What was that Ninjutsu just now?"

Shisui's throat moved as he nervously swallowed.

"Hm?"

Upon hearing that, Kaze thought for a moment. "Let's call it Lightning Release: Super Electromagnetic Cannon Jutsu."

"Lightning Release: Super Electromagnetic Cannon Jutsu? What a terrifying Ninjutsu..."

Shisui paused before continuing, "I'm afraid that in all of Konoha, no one can surpass you in the field of Lightning Release."

Shisui was not merely flattering Kaze.

That Lightning Release: Super Electromagnetic Cannon Jutsu had truly overturned his understanding of Lightning Release.

After recovering from his shock, longing flickered in Sasuke's eyes.

If he could master that Lightning Release: Super Electromagnetic Cannon Jutsu and display it before his father Fugaku...

His father would surely praise him for being talented.

"Kaze... can you... teach me that move from just now!"

Sasuke ran up to Kaze in one breath, bracing both hands on his knees as he spoke between gasps.

Logically speaking, that distance should not have exhausted Sasuke so badly.

But repeatedly releasing the Great Fireball Technique had left him with little Chakra remaining.

That was why he was panting so hard.

"Of course..."

Kaze's lips curved upward into a teasing smile. "I can't."
