The rice-grain-sized fragment of Chakra Metal in Mukai's hand didn't seem particularly special.
Even the edges and corners of the metal itself remained unchanged.
At this moment, Mukai's eyes were shining, and he was even happier than when he first obtained the Spirit Transformation Technique!
He carefully gathered the remaining Chakra Metal fragments scattered on the ground together.
Using Chakra Metal wound into an electromagnet, they began sorting the particles.
In the end, Mukai harvested twelve equally special fragments.
These twelve fragments weighed no more than one gram in total, but Mukai them in his hands as if they were precious treasures!
He held his breath, and his other hand, which was holding the electromagnet, trembled as he leaned closer.
With a whoosh, these rice-grain-sized metal particles were suddenly pushed aside as the electromagnet approached, as if by an invisible hand.
Mukai conducted the experiment three times in a row, and the results were the same each time!
Meissner effect!
The Meissner effect at room temperature!
This effect also has a more easily understood name:
Superconducting metals exhibit perfect diamagnetism in magnetic fields!
These metals exhibit superconductivity at room temperature!
This world with Chakra is truly a wondrous world!
With this, his mecha concept is no longer just a dream!
"Ah!!!"
Mukai excitedly shouted as he gathered up the pile of Chakra Metal fragments.
It sealed everything, including the carbonized soil debris mixed in with it.
He's still in Konoha, so he doesn't have the opportunity to verify how Chakra Metal possesses superconductivity.
Preliminary assessment suggests it is related to the discharge phenomenon of ultra-high voltage current.
As a meticulous science student, he wished he could take the whole clearing in the woods with him!
Originally, he only wanted to discharge electricity over a wide area.
Add some electrical nodes nearby to prevent Root ninjas from using any secret techniques to advance.
Unexpectedly, by sheer chance, they discovered these fragments with room-temperature superconducting properties!
He also discovered most of the Chakra Metal fragments during a break in the intense discharge.
The high-temperature melting phenomenon was caused by the instantaneous high-voltage, high-current electric arc.
Only a few Chakra Metal fragments remained intact.
That's when he started to have doubts.
This was the biggest takeaway from his meeting with Orochimaru!
There's no other like it!
Mukai packed his things, put on the brand-new Hierarch Mecha, and immediately activated the maximum power kinetic energy boost.
Like a fool, he happily raced straight toward the core tower.
The future is promising!
Beside the central tower in the Forest of Death
Scorpion and Shisō are currently facing off against two teams from Konoha.
"You Sand Ninja guys, you really underestimate us!"
How dare they steal the scroll and not enter the tower, just swaggering around here?
This is a surprise for us!
The scroll came easily!
With her spiky hair and dark green glasses, Aoba Yamashiro stood at the back of the line, talking and wagging her finger as she spoke.
At this point, two teams were tracking them down.
They are Aoba Yamashiro, Gekko Hayate, Shiza Aburame's squad, and Tsume Inuzuka, Tatami Iwashi, Sumashi's squad.
Both teams had members skilled in reconnaissance and perception. They joined forces and followed Scorpion and Shisō to this place.
Faced with Aoba Yamashiro's provocation, Sasori merely released two puppets, Crow and Black Ant.
Shisō had only activated the First Activation of the Seven Heavens Breathing Method.
Both of them are protected by basic mechs, so there's no need to use their trump cards for now.
Scorpion controlled the Crow, extending a mechanical limb and beckoning a finger to Aoba Yamashiro, who was temporarily directing the operation.
This common provocative gesture immediately enraged the other party.
Aoba Yamashiro didn't stand on ceremony either, and waved his right hand forward with both fingers together:
"Do it!"
At Aoba Yamashiro's command, Sumashi and Tsume Inuzuka, both skilled in Taijutsu -to-hand combat, were the first to charge forward:
Ninja Art - Blade Wind Break!
Combined Ninjutsu - Dual Fang Assault!
Sumashi a sliding step forward, swung his Ninja Blade in both directions, and combined it with Body Flicker Technique -flicking technique to create an afterimage, directly slashing at Sasori who was controlling the puppet.
When fighting a puppeteer, the first thing to do is attack the puppeteer's main body!
Tsume Inuzuka and his black Ninja Dog transformed into two whirlwinds, rushing straight towards Shisō.
At the same time, Gekko Hayate, who was protecting Aoba Yamashiro, suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight with a ripple.
Transparent Release activated!
Meanwhile, Aoba Yamashiro had already formed the hand seal and smeared the blood from her bitten finger onto the special psychic mark on her palm:
" The Scattering One Thousand Crows Technique!"
As the Ninjutsu was activated, a large flock of Crow appeared out of thin air and swooped down on Sasori and Shisō.
This is Aoba Yamashiro's most prized combination Ninjutsu, which combines summoning and Genjutsu.
Although its own attack power is not high, the feints and real Crow rushing in are enough to confuse the enemy's judgment.
At that point, your own teammates' attacks will be enough to give the opponent a run for their money!
With the addition of his teammate Shiza Aburame's Kikaichū attack, he can strike first even after being attacked later.
Gain the advantage before your teammates' Taijutsu arrive.
Don't forget, Hayate Gekko, skilled in Konoha swordsmanship, is lurking all around, ready to deliver a fatal Gekko Hayate at any moment!
This combined attack setup includes Genjutsu, perception, Taijutsu, and the secret technique of Kikaichū.
In Aoba Yamashiro's view, it should have been an absolutely foolproof existence.
However, all of this was just a beautiful illusion.
First, Shiza Aburame shouted "Be careful!" and did not participate in the attack.
Instead, he released his Kikaichū, which formed a black barrier behind Aoba Yamashiro.
Then he unleashed Crow charge, a hybrid Genjutsu, which crashed into the Crow puppet that had transformed into a meat grinder.
Accompanied by the mournful cries of Crow, blood, flesh, and feathers fell.
Just as Aoba Yamashiro was taken aback, under the cover of the Crow, Sumashi and, with a flash of light, slashed hard at Sasori.
Success!
However, Sumashi confidently swung his sword, no blood splattered; instead, with a clang, the Ninja Blade in his hand snapped in two.
With the sound of his Ninja Blade snapping, he realized that he hadn't actually struck flesh and blood.
The disguise on the red-haired Sand Ninja fell away, revealing his ugly figure.
He didn't hit a scorpion, but Black Ant that was good at catching prey!
Click, click!
With a series of clicking sounds, the Black Ant ant puppet suddenly opened the buckle on its belly, lunged forward, and trapped the lost Sumashi inside its belly.
With a nimble flick of his finger, Scorpion, Transformation Technique into Black Ant, moved his Black Ant ant puppet to block Tsume Inuzuka's black Ninja Dog.
As Dual Fang Assault performed in coordination with Ninja Dog, the female ninja Tsume Inuzuka Taijutsu, with her face painted with greasepaint, is exceptionally powerful.
She spun her claws and charged toward Shisō Cang, whose eyes had turned slightly gray.
Having already activated the First Activation, Shisō took a deep breath, his entire chest slightly expanding.
At this moment, he stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, one in front of the other.
As you push off the ground with your hind leg, shift your weight forward sharply.
Twist your waist and hips, bend your elbows and bring your arms close to your chest, turn your body slightly to the side, and tense your muscles like iron.
Using his shoulder as the point of force, he slammed into Tsume Inuzuka's spinning attack!
Mukai a half-baked demonstration, and Shisō added his own interpretation of the Iron Mountain Lean!
boom!
With a violent impact, the insect barrier set up by Shiza Aburame was also suddenly smashed apart by a golden figure!
