At one point, he suddenly opened his eyes.
All eleven Shadow Clones dispersed at once.
Akira Sarutobi rose from his cross-legged position and held out his right palm.
With a buzz, a beam of light emerged from the palm aimed at empty space.
The beam was bluish-white.
Its scorching glow shone upon the paper he had prepared in advance.
The paper instantly caught fire and was pierced through. Then, the beam struck a thin wooden board.
Wisps of green smoke rose.
The board rapidly blackened and ignited before being pierced through as well, the beam continuing toward the stone wall beneath the ground.
A closer look revealed that the energy in the bluish-white laser was becoming increasingly concentrated.
Or rather... it was becoming thinner and thinner.
This was the convergence of photons, as well as a manifestation of concentrated particle properties.
In the end, the laser became as thin as a strand of hair.
Though slender, its highly concentrated energy gave it immense burning and penetrating power.
"Success..."
Looking at the beam projected from his palm into the darkness, Akira Sarutobi curled his lips and let out a long breath.
Storm Release Bloodline Limit... acquired!
I Have Storm Release, and I'm Proud
The brightness of this laser per unit cross-sectional area was nearly comparable to the sun.
Its essence was a Chakra technique formed by fusing "Water" and "Lightning."
Because its energy was so highly concentrated, its temperature became terrifyingly high.
Combined with Storm Release's inherent properties, it could practically cut through and melt most substances.
Of course, the exact time required depended on the structure of whatever was being cut.
For instance, human fat might be scorched and severed in an instant.
A stone wall, on the other hand, might only be left with a few burn marks.
