Level Up

After using the Shadow Clone Jutsu to exploit the bug for a long time, Satoru finally felt a crisp sound coming from his body as if something had been broken. At the same time, a purple star ripple erupted in his mind.

[Electromagnetic Force Level 3]

[Next Upgrade: 0/20000 Experience]

"I finally leveled up!"

Satoru took a deep breath and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

During the upgrade, he first felt the refinement of his body. Impurities within his body were continuously broken down and reorganized into extremely pure life energy that nourished his physical body.

Unlike before, this refinement was more thorough, even his internal organs received refinement.

He activated his Byakugan, and his vision extended from the previous 3 kilometers to 4 kilometers, with the transmitted images becoming much clearer.

Feeling the increased control over electromagnetic forces, Satoru took a breath and slowly raised his hands.

The surrounding clone versions of himself were instantly stunned. They suddenly realized that they had lost control over the metallic shinobi tools in front of them. Their will to manipulate the shinobi tools was powerless against the formidable force, just like a mantis trying to stop a cart.

Shurikens, kunai, and other shinobi tools all flew up and gathered in the air, above Satoru. In the astonished gazes of the clones, the surface of the metallic shinobi tools gradually turned red, and at the same time, the surrounding air became scorching hot.

"What's happening? Why does it suddenly feel so hot?"

"Huh, is this the ability of the original body?"

"Original, can you teach us?"

...

The clones were bewildered and exclaimed in shock. The surface of those metallic shinobi tools had turned red, and the intense heat even caused the plants on the ground to wither.

They changed from a solid state to liquid, making a sizzling sound as a pool of red-hot molten iron coalesced into a large ball, constantly wriggling.

Satoru took a deep breath and mobilized the remaining chakra to control the shape of the molten iron.

The red liquid was elongated, forming a slender blade with a certain curve, followed by the details of the hilt and the blade.

Finally, the nearly a hundred molten shinobi tools were forged into a slender shinobi sword, with a refined shape and emitting a chilly glint.

Looking at his masterpiece, Satoru's pale face revealed a smile.

"I'll call this shinobi sword 'Choya'!"

Beside him, the clones were already dumbfounded.

"Original, I want to learn this."

Satoru looked at them and snapped his fingers.

"You've done well this time. I look forward to the next opportunity to work together."

With the sounds of "bang, bang, bang," all the clones instantly turned into white mist at the same time.

His electromagnetic power had been upgraded, and there was no point in continuing to exploit this group of weak opponents. With 20,000 experience points needed for the next upgrade, he wouldn't level up even if he continued to exploit them for a short time.

After dispersing all the shadow clones, the chakra he had previously divided returned to his body, the hollow feeling in his lower abdomen disappeared, and his complexion improved.

Gripping the now-cooled Choya shinobi sword, Satoru swung it a few times, and the feeling was incredible.

This shinobi sword was refined by removing impurities from hundreds of shinobi tools and compressing their density. In terms of quality, it was probably unmatched even by ordinary chakra metal shinobi swords. Moreover, he had made it himself, and the shape perfectly suited him.

Electromagnetic Furnace!

This was the name Satoru gave to his newly developed ability at level 3 of electromagnetic power.

The so-called Electromagnetic Furnace utilized a magnetic field to make the molecules of an object move at high speed, thereby causing its temperature to rapidly rise. The principle was not complicated. Satoru remembered that in his previous life, electromagnetic ovens and microwave ovens used the same principle.

Middle school physics taught them that an increase in temperature would intensify the movement of molecules, and likewise, an increase in the movement of molecules would lead to a rapid rise in temperature.

Not just limited to metals, if a shinobi stepped into Satoru's constructed Electromagnetic Furnace, the molecules of their body would be uncontrollably impacted, and they might eventually melt into a pool of liquid.

Satoru exhaled a breath, and a hopeful look appeared in his eyes. "If I can develop the Electromagnetic Furnace, then I should be close to gaining the ability of material recombination."

Material recombination was the electromagnetic power ability that Satoru most wanted to obtain. It allowed him to control the recombination of atoms at the microscopic level, creating entirely new substances.

In his vision, if he could master this ability, he would be able to intrude into the Cage Bird Seal on his forehead and directly erase it!

That Cage Bird Seal had been a threat to him for a long time, and no one wanted such a thing on their forehead.

The Electromagnetic Furnace could accelerate the molecular movement, essentially touching on the microscopic level. At least from this moment on, the microscopic capabilities of electromagnetic power had opened up to him.

After reaching electromagnetic level 3, Satoru roughly estimated his current strength.

In close combat, due to the mysterious nature of his abilities, ordinary upper-level shinobis probably wouldn't be his match. If it came to ranged combat, under the remote sniper attacks of the Magnetic Storm Sniper Rifle, regular shinobis would be easily dispatched, though it might be a bit expensive.

...

In Konoha, as per the agreement with Shibi, Satoru arrived at the mission management office, intending to take on a team mission with his squad.

"Satoru, you're late."

At the entrance of the mission management office, Shibi looked at Satoru walking from afar, and his expressionless face, with sunglasses, showed a hint of surprise, a rare sight.

"Sorry, I was held up by something." Satoru awkwardly scratched his head. Last night, due to testing his new abilities, he had stayed up very late cultivating.

"Huh?"

As Satoru walked in, Shibi suddenly uttered a light exclamation, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

Anko and Rin, standing beside him, seemed to have noticed something too. They approached Satoru with a dubious expression, scrutinizing him up and down.

"What's wrong?" Satoru subconsciously took a few steps back, stuttering. He suddenly felt like a pitiful little white rabbit, and the two women beside him were predatory wolves.

"Satoru, your skin seems to have become smoother again." Anko gritted her teeth, a jealous look on her face.

"Yeah, it became whiter too." Rin narrowed her eyes, and a cold aura emanated from her.

"Could it be that you have some beauty secrets?"

Smoother? Whiter?

Satoru was at a loss. Who would have thought that the physical refinement of electromagnetic power would have this effect? Considering the current situation, if he didn't give up the so-called beauty secret, the two women probably wouldn't let him off easily.

"Would you believe it if I told you this is a natural talent?" Satoru swallowed nervously.

"Hmph! Hand over the beauty secret!" Rin, who was at the forefront, grabbed Satoru's collar.

Anko also rolled up her sleeves, looking intimidating.

"Satoru, I knew something was fishy when your skin suddenly became smoother, you pushed the blame onto Magnet Release before, but now, there's nothing to say. Hand over the beauty secret!"

Satoru hadn't expected that even the usually aloof Rin would be helpless against this beauty effect. He could only look at Shibi, seeking help.

However, Shibi had no intention of getting involved. He shrugged his shoulders and went to the side to look at the task notice board and check the list of missions.

Behind him, Satoru was helpless as he tried to escape the two little devils.
