Electromagnetic Force Intensity Improved

Pakura stood right there, making it impossible for the young couple to share any intimate words. To make matters worse, the woman was completely oblivious and had no intention of taking the initiative to leave.

Rasa exchanged a few pleasantries with the two women, but he felt incredibly awkward and found the whole interaction dull.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out two glass bottles, one large and one small. He tossed the large one to Pakura and shoved the small one into Karura's hands.

"What is this?" Pakura held the glass bottle up to the sunlight; the crystal-clear glass refracted a myriad of colorful rays.

"Sunscreen. I bought it as a gift for Karura in the Land of Artisans.

I figured since you're always wearing those backless outfits and never change your style, and considering the Land of Wind is nothing but desert, you'd probably need this too. I just picked up an extra bottle for you while I was at it."

Points +1 +1 +1...

Idiot!

Pakura felt a bitter taste in her mouth. Just picked it up for me? And who says I don't change my clothes? I just happen to like this style, alright?

Karura didn't feel too great either. Why did he have to buy a gift for her and then just "happen" to pick one up for Pakura? Was what her younger brother said true? Had Rasa really been bewitched?

Rasa turned the passive situation into an active one, making the atmosphere even more awkward. After a few more idle words, he made an excuse and took his leave.

The two women felt dejected; they exchanged a glance and bid each other farewell before leaving.

"Phew!"

Closing the door behind him, Rasa returned to his room and meditated on the Starry Sky Vortex in his mind. Points: 532.

With the bothersome women gone, he could finally upgrade his Electromagnetic Force and increase his strength.

Everything he possessed was a product of his strength; without it, everything else was just empty talk. Now was not the time for romantic entanglements.

Settling his mind, Rasa pondered where to invest his 500 points.

Upgrading Electromagnetic Force Precision to Lv.2 or Electromagnetic Force Intensity to Lv.1 both required 500 points.

He had already tasted the benefits of precision. Lv.1 precision was enough to manipulate small amounts of metal and manipulate ions to generate high voltage and create lightning.

If he upgraded it further, he should be able to make even greater strides, developing new abilities from a microscopic level, such as Electromagnetic Propulsion or a Railgun...

However, his current repertoire was more than sufficient. Even simple metal manipulation could be used in creative ways; what he lacked was intensity.

Physical stamina, mental energy, and chakra could all serve as fuel to drive his Electromagnetic Force. He currently only possessed the chakra levels of an elite jonin, which was a significant bottleneck.

According to the "bucket effect," the shortest plank was what truly determined his absolute strength. With a major war looming, increasing his raw power was the priority.

Having made his decision, Rasa spent 500 points on Electromagnetic Force Intensity, raising it to Lv.1.

In an instant, the Starry Sky Vortex in his mind released a strange fluctuation from an unknown dimension, wrapping energy around him and resonating with his own bio-electromagnetic field.

According to quantum theory, as a biological organism undergoes metabolism, energy is transmitted in the form of information, and the sole material carrier for both is the bio-electromagnetic field.

At this moment, Rasa's bio-electromagnetic field functioned and adjusted spontaneously. Every inch of his skin and every cell was influenced by the reverse effect of this field, restoring him to his peak state.

Rasa carefully sensed this state. When his Electromagnetic Force Precision reached a higher tier, he should be able to spontaneously adjust his bio-electromagnetic field to keep himself in a peak state at all times.

The human body is composed of cells, and cells are composed of chemical elements. An element is a collective term for a class of atoms.

He could even go further and directly manipulate the nuclei, extranuclear electrons, and protons within atoms. By stacking countless operations of extreme precision, he could become his own god.

What is a god?

To do as one pleases, to be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.

But that was for the future. One must live in the present.

His body modification was complete, and all impurities had been broken down and reorganized by energy—this must have been an auxiliary effect of upgrading Electromagnetic Force Intensity.

Rasa performed a few movements to test his current state. Every cell had been further developed; his mental power and cellular vitality had increased by at least five times.

Chakra is a mixture of mental energy and cellular energy. He could now directly use these two forces to drive his Electromagnetic Force, without the need for the extra step of using chakra.

However, if measured in terms of chakra, he was now a genuine Kage-level powerhouse, with a chakra pool that even exceeded that of Chiyo.

He stretched his Electromagnetic Force to its limit; it could not extend beyond three hundred meters. It seemed his radius had doubled, and his area of control had increased significantly.

Further testing and ability development were not convenient to do at home.

Fortunately, the Land of Wind was vast. After resting for a while and waiting for night to fall, Rasa slipped out of the village to adapt to and develop his current abilities.

He mostly relied on his previous moves. With his current Electromagnetic Force Precision, he couldn't develop any groundbreaking new techniques; it was just old wine in a new bottle.

After several days of testing, Rasa gained a great deal.

In terms of metal manipulation, his maximum mass increased from seventy kilograms to five hundred kilograms. This was his biggest improvement, mainly because his higher ability allowed for better compatibility with magnetic metals.

However, the acceleration he could provide to the metal didn't increase by much. The heavier the object, the greater the consumption seemed to be.

A several-hundred-kilogram iron ball could be propelled to the speed of sound, but a single coin could only be pushed to twice the speed of sound, or 680 meters per second.

It felt as if his ability was shackled, preventing him from going any further, and that shackle was a lack of precision.

Rasa vaguely guessed what new ability he could develop after his next precision upgrade: it should be Electromagnetic Catapult Technology.

The energy consumption for generating high voltage remained unchanged, though the ease of execution had improved. Most importantly, his physical and mental strength had increased, so in terms of percentage, the relative consumption had decreased significantly.

Now he could control lightning too; he was the one and only Luo Yongxin, the Lightning Law King!

With his ability testing complete, Rasa had a solid grasp of his own strength. Over the next few days, he finally enjoyed a life of peace and happiness.

Kage-level powerhouses do not mobilize lightly. With other people handling the various combat readiness tasks throughout the village, Rasa only needed to stroll in front of Chiyo every day.

In his spare time, he would lecture his brother-in-law, discipline the young ninjas of the village, deepen his bond with Karura, and flirt with Pakura.

Life was incredibly pleasant, until over a month later.

Several ninjas who had been out on missions rushed back to the village with the utmost urgency, bursting into the Kazekage Office covered in wounds, disheveled and in a sorry state.

Shortly after, Rasa was summoned into the Kazekage Office.

Dismissing the ninjas who had delivered the intelligence, Chiyo and Ebizo furrowed their brows, heavy with worry.
