With the general direction established, the next steps became obvious.

Chiyo and Ebizo had served as elders for many years, possessing vast experience and a history of countless battles. To further test the two candidates, they continued to solicit their opinions.

Pakura was a pure brawler who only knew how to clamor for battle, declaring, "This subordinate Pakura is willing to lead the vanguard, and for the sake of Sunagakure, I shall smoke, drink, and perm my hair for generations to come."

Rasa, however, offered many highly constructive suggestions, such as having the rarely seen Ebizo impersonate the Third Kazekage to stabilize the morale of the troops.

He proposed procuring strategic supplies as much as possible and secretly dispatching the village's elite ninja to the borders to guard against sudden changes—in short, making all necessary preparations for war.

It was simple and clear-sighted, consisting of things that absolutely had to be done. At the very least, it proved that Rasa's strategic vision was sound; with two elders to fill in the gaps, he was capable of holding the position of Kazekage.

Chiyo almost appointed Rasa as the Fourth Kazekage on the spot, only refraining from acting on impulse after being held back by her younger brother, Ebizo.

Yet, she remained full of expectations for Rasa, saying earnestly, "Rasa, your current strength, even among jonin, can be considered elite."

"But it is not enough. Compared to your teacher, the Kazekage, there is still a large gap. Strive to improve your strength; there is a very heavy burden to be handed to you in the future."

Hearing Chiyo's words, Rasa knew it was a done deal. As long as he didn't court death, he was the designated Fourth Kazekage.

Thanks to the talent drought in Sunagakure, his only competitor, Pakura, was all brawn and no brain—she could be a Double Flower Red Pole, but she couldn't be the boss. Did she really think one didn't need brains to run an organization?

As for the seat of the Kazekage, who else but him?

Watching Rasa's retreating figure amidst the heat and sand, Chiyo sighed, "He is a good lad. Even after his teacher, who was like a father to him, met with an unexpected demise, he could still remain calm as if Mount Tai were collapsing before him."

"To face such a major upheaval and yet not act on impulse, burying all his grief and pain deep within his heart to offer such constructive advice..."

"He is far stronger than Pakura; he can shoulder the burden of the Kazekage."

Ebizo nodded, his two long eyebrows twitching slightly. An inexplicable sense of sorrow welled up in his heart, feeling for Rasa, the person most affected.

He choked out, "At this moment, his heart must be in immense pain. His teacher is dead, yet he must bear such tremendous pressure..."

Wiping away the tears he had forced out, Rasa patted the shoulder of his brother-in-law, Yashamaru, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Go attend to your duties, Yashamaru. Give my regards to your sister when you see her."

He then walked into his house and shut the door with a "bang."

Before long, the sound of sobbing that resembled a pig's squealing drifted from inside the room. Yashamaru couldn't help but feel heartbroken for his brother-in-law.

His brother-in-law must have learned some truly devastating news in the Kazekage Office to be this heartbroken. He was likely just pretending to be calm, only to secretly wipe away tears alone.

With a faint sigh, he went to find his sister, Karura. He had to tell her to be good to her husband; this was a man who was easily hurt.

Inside the room, Rasa contemplated the Starry Sky Vortex in his mind, and the information he received had changed.

[Electromagnetic Force Intensity: Lv0] [Electromagnetic Force Precision: Lv0] [Points: 143] [This cheat has a high degree of freedom; everything is to be explored by the host. The greater the impact on this world, the more points obtained.]

Rasa fell into deep thought. How did he get these 143 points? It must have been the impact he had on Sunagakure.

In the original plot, Sunagakure would have frantically searched for the Third Kazekage, only for the Land of Lightning to discover the Kazekage was missing, leading them to invade the Land of Wind.

His appearance had reversed this situation, preventing Sunagakure from falling into chaos and instead preparing them for the war that was bound to come.

There was no such thing as a perfect disguise; the war would inevitably start, but it had been delayed, making Sunagakure less passive than in the original plot.

Make an impact, gain points—Rasa roughly understood the mechanism.

Next was to check the specific functions of his cheat. That wouldn't stump him; wasn't it just adding points?

Upgrade [Electromagnetic Force Intensity].

Upgrade failed. To upgrade [Electromagnetic Force Intensity] to Lv1, 500 points are required...

It didn't work? Rasa frowned slightly and switched targets.

Upgrade [Electromagnetic Force Precision].

Upgrade successful. 100 points consumed. Points required for the next level: 500...

The Starry Sky Vortex in his mind deepened in color. Through meditation and contemplation, he could perceive a trace of distorted fluctuation at the very periphery.

In an instant, the benefits of the [Electromagnetic Force Precision] upgrade manifested in Rasa. He felt refreshed and invigorated, as if the world had never been so clear.

The chakra that had felt obscure and difficult to use since he took over the body, along with the Magnet Release: Gold Dust Technique, now responded to his will like an extension of his own limbs.

Not only that, but there seemed to be an even greater change.

Staring at the iron kitchen knife from Mikasa, Rasa moved his mind.

The knife suddenly left the cutting board, flying through the air to a millimeter in front of Rasa's brow before stopping. The blade even brushed against the fine fuzz on his face.

Hundred-Step Flying Sword, Ge Nie?

Controlling blades with Qi, From Beijing with Love?

Neither...

It was Magneto!

A tiny bit of chakra was consumed. Rasa reached out to grip the hilt of his blade, the corners of his mouth curling upward as his shoulders shook uncontrollably; he was on the verge of laughing like a pig.

No, he couldn't laugh. The Third Kazekage had just died, and if he started cackling like a mad dog, how unseemly would that be?

Rasa finally understood what this Electromagnetic Force was—one of the four, or perhaps three, fundamental forces of the universe.

The four fundamental forces exist within all things and phenomena. To perfectly control a fundamental force is to control the universe itself; life and death, all within the palm of one's hand.

Magneto is impressive, isn't he? He brings the Golden Gate Bridge with him upon his entrance, yet in the movies, he only controls magnetism, and even in the comics, his applications are simple.

How terrifying is the perfect control of Electromagnetic Force?

By using Electromagnetic Force to manipulate atomic nuclei, one can force electrons to break free from their nuclear bonds, causing nuclei to attract and collide, triggering a fusion reaction. During this process, uncharged neutrons escape the nuclei due to the reaction.

This process is called nuclear fusion; simply put, it is crafting a nuclear bomb by hand.

By manipulating Electromagnetic Force to weaken the interaction between electrons and nuclei, atoms can no longer exist stably, allowing one to directly destroy any object imaginable.

This is called atomic disintegration, similar to the light-speed punches of the Gold Saint that are said to be capable of destroying atoms.

By utilizing the generation of particle-antiparticle pairs from the vacuum in quantum field theory and reversing electromagnetic interactions to obtain antimatter, one can trigger an annihilation reaction.

This is called antimatter, similar to the Destruction of God of Destruction Beerus, obliterating an existence at its most fundamental level.

All in all, it is incredibly powerful. Of course, these are operations that can only be achieved once the ability is raised to a high level, or even its limit.

For now, he can only imitate Magneto, performing some basic operations, or using high voltage to generate lightning and play around with Lightning Style.

Just like Accelerator; without his heaven-defying calculation speed, vector manipulation would be a trash ability.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and Rasa was already very satisfied.
