140. Electromagnet Release

A month passes in the blink of an eye.

Izuna will occasionally give some instructions to Kimimaro to improve his physical strength. He would spend the rest of his time completing some missions with Mei and his group of three oddballs.

He met with Ao in a few missions and Ao was still skeptical of him… for the reasons unknown to both Izuna and Ao. His missions usually included escorting missions, guard missions and dealing with some skirmishes… nothing major which he couldn't handle with his current level of power.

Izuna is resting on top of a tree in Terumi compound as he silently ponders.

'I can see some clues on the development of Kekkei Shi. The 'Night Release' which I learnt from the assassin guy is my key to access it.

Combining two Nature transformations... Kekkei Genkai is currently way beyond my league.'

Izuna closes his eyes as he remembers his attempt of creating a Kekkei Shi.

---------Flashback-No-Jutsu----------

At the outer edge of Shikkotsu forest,

Izuna takes a deep breath and calms his nerves.

"I have simulated this process several times through genjutsu while considering all variables. I am all set."

Izuna turns to Katsuyu and questions her.

"Lady Katsuyu… is it alright for me to test my new jutsu here? The power of my jutsu is way beyond anything I have done before."

Katsuyu nods her head.

"It's alright. This place is located on the outer edge of the Shikkotsu forest and is barren. No creatures are residing in this part of the forest.

It used to be the lair of the 'Forest Beast' who went on a rampage a few centuries ago. Thanks to the efforts of Kenshiro-sama… he was sealed in another space. So… it's fine to use it for your new jutsu training."

Izuna nods his head.

"Alright then…"

Katsuyu retreats to a considerable safe distance from Izuna. Izuna clasps his hand together and enters into Sage Mode.

A cyan colour cloak appears him. There is a single tomoe on cloak's front and back.

Haah…

Izuna claps his hands as he focuses Magnet Release chakra in his left hand and Storm Release chakra in his right hand.

'Magnet Release is a combination of Wind Release and Earth Release... whereas Storm Release is a combination of Lightning Release and Water Release. If I can combine them perfectly… then I will be able to create the 'Electromagnet Release'… my first Kekkei Shi. I can't lose focus here.'

He slowly infuses the magnet release chakra and the storm release chakra near each other.

'Now I have to combine them in correct proportion. I can't make any mistakes here.'

He activates his Mangekyo Sharingan and slowly analyses the process.

The magnet release chakra and the storm release chakra slowly start to meld together. Izuna feels a large amount of resistance in his hands as the two chakra natures start to push each other.

'I have to hold on…'

Both chakra natures start to combine as they form a purple orb in his hand.

"Is this… Electromagnet Release?"

Izuna inspects the purple orb as he tries to stabilize it.

'I just have to memorize the right chakra proportion and I will create my first Kekkei Shi.'

He adds a little more chakra to the orb. The orb starts to shake violently.

"Shit… I messed up at the last step. I can't stabilize it anymore."

Bzzzt…

Lighting and all other elements flicker through the purple orb as it slowly starts to expand.

'Fuck… I have destroyed the integrity of the elements. Now… it has destabilized into these fundamental elements.

Sizzle…

The purple orb scorches his hand. His healing factor kicks in… to heal the injuries.

The burns heal at a very slow rate.

"What… these burn marks aren't healing rapidly?"

Izuna immediately tosses the purple orb to the nearby mountain. Without Izuna's stabilization… the purple orb immediately expands to the size of a large water tank and it continues to expand.

BOOOOMMMM…

The purple orb expands and collapses violently, creating a vacuum in the area.

Bzzzzttt…

It releases a powerful EMP blast, which slams into Izuna and knocks him away.

Boom…

Izuna collides into a nearby mountain and passes out.

Wooh…

The vacuum created by the purple orb sucks nearby minerals and metals from the ground inside itself.

Various rocks and minerals float around the vacuum.

Fwoosh…

The vacuum loses its energy source and collapses into a single point before fading out of existence.

Bzzztttt…

It releases another EMP blast, which knocks the floating rocks and minerals.

Wham… wham… wham…

The floating rocks crash into the ground… one after another.

Boom….

Dust and debris rise in the area.

Katsuyu's optical tentacles shake in a frenzy as she stares at the devastation caused by Izuna's jutsu with disbelief.

"This… this jutsu… is so powerful… even… even Hashirama-Sama's wood release pales in comparison to it. No… even Kenshiro-Sama's power pales in comparison to this jutsu. What… what kind of jutsu was it?

The dust and debris settle… Katsuyu immediately slithers at Izuna's location.

She notices Izuna, who is buried beneath a large boulder.

Thwack…

She slaps away the giant boulder with her tail and immediately crawls towards Izuna.

Boop…

She splits a fragment of her body into another Katsuyu. The mini Katsuyu slither over to Izuna and checks his condition.

"He has lost his consciousness. That earlier blast of energy attacked his nervous system. He will take some time to recover."

Slither… slither…

The mini Katsuyu carries him to the deeper parts of the Shikkotsu forest.

The Large Katsuyu looks around the area to estimate the damage caused by Izuna's jutsu.

Bzzz…

Deep purple lighting flickers through the large crater created by Izuna's jutsu.

Katsuyu feels dizzy as she walks towards the crater. She turns around and retreats to the forest.

Swoosh… swoosh…

Many large foxes appear beside her.

"Greetings… Lady Katsuyu!"

One of the larger fox bows in front of Katsuyu.

Hmm…

Katsuyu nods her head as she instructs them.

"Barricade this area. It is an inhabitable zone from now on. None of the creatures residing in the forest are allowed to enter this area. There is strange energy fluctuating through the rocks present here. You will lose your mind… if you came in contact with that."

"Yes… Lady Katsuyu." The large Fox nods his head and instructs other members of his clan.

Kurumi pauses before she walks towards Katsuyu.

"Lady Katsuyu… about Izuna-sama… is he alright? Earlier I saw him attempting something near that mountain. Is he the reason behind this incident?"

"You don't have to worry about him. He will be alright. You should focus on erecting a barrier around this place." Katsuyu avoids her question and orders her.

"Yes… Katsuyu Sama." Kurumi bows her head and retreats with her clan.

Hmmm…

"What kind of power did he use�� to create such destruction?" Katsuyu looks at the remains of the mountain. There is a bottomless pit at the former position of the lair of the 'Forest Beast'.

"For now… healing him is my priority."

Katsuyu slowly slithers inside the forest.

Inside one of the caves near the giant tree of Shikkotsu Forest...

Mini Katsuyu lays Izuna on a bed as she inspects his condition.

Wiggle… wiggle…

She shakes her optical tentacles to signal other Katsuyu. Many chibi Katsuyu appears inside the room.

"Use Nature Energy to heal his wounds. His condition is quite serious."

"Yes…"

The chibi Katsuyu clings on Izuna's body. Their body starts to glow cyan as they absorb Nature energy from the surroundings and transfer it to Izuna.

Swirl…

The Sin seal activates, and it starts to absorb the Nature energy at a rapid rate. Many dark markings appear all over Izuna's body.

Swirl…

The apparition of Kushina and Minato swirls out of the grimoire. Both of them stare at Izuna and frown.

"I have never seen such strange sealing formulas."

Kushina comments as she looks at the strange markings on Izuna's body.

"It's probably caused by this book." Minato points to the 'Sin Grimoire'.

Both of them turn to Kurama to question him.

Kurama turns his head away from them and whistles… completely ignoring their presence.

"This bastard…" Kushina's hairs start to rise as she angrily glares at Kurama.

"Neh… Neh… It's alright Kushina. I am sure Izuna-kun is fine."

Minato tries to calm her down.

"He is right… He is just in a small coma. He will recover soon and perhaps even grow stronger than before." Kurama raises its head and remarks before closing his eye.

Phew…

Kushina calms down and heaves a sigh of relief.

"I hope… he is alright." She then turns to Minato and questions him.

"Minato… do you know what was he trying to do earlier?"

Hmm…

Minato ponders for a while before he replies.

"Earlier… I saw him using Magnet Release and Storm Release. If my speculation is correct… he was trying to combine them to create a new jutsu."

Kushina nods her head in understanding.

"I have seen the Third Kazekage using the Magnet Release before and the Third Raikage using the Storm Release… I am not sure how Izuna-kun learnt them… but whatever he was trying has never been tried before." Minato continues to speculate.

"Izuna has a Mangekyo Sharingan… and every Mangekyo Sharingan has unique abilities. Maybe… it is the ability of his Mangekyo Sharingan." Kushina points out to Minato.

"Hmm… it's quite possible. He must have somehow learnt them using his Mangekyo ability. Anyway… when Izuna tried to combine the two Kekkei Genkais… the elemental forces came into play and repelled his attempt.

Free energy always pursues chaos... and it is the reason… that his jutsu failed. I don't have any other explanation."

Minato shakes his head.
