Chakra Nature Exploration

From the instant that Kiyo was able to manipulate his iron sand, Aoto was immediately left shocked as he could not believe that a child was able to use his ability, something that look him years to even get starts and at this point, he knew that his mastery over the technique that he himself had created was still not perfect.

Seeing a kid like that, he was immediately left in awe of Kiyo's talent. Just as that thought crossed his mind, disbelief flooded his mind as he knew that his magnet release was the Kekkei Genkai of his clan.

At this thought, he immediately realised that Kiyoshi must have some form of blood relation with him and in that instant, a desire to keep and protect Kiyoshi formed in his heart.

His clan, one of the strongest warrior clans in Suna has slowly been forced into weakness as many of their clan members were constantly sent to death in the First Shinobi War. After this, life had been particularly difficult for their clan to the point where when Aoto was born, his mother had told him that while it was possible that there are descendants that are still living, he was most likely the only survivor of the clan.

Finding another clan member, Aoto was deeply elated in his heart as a strong sense of familiar blood suddenly emerged. He became desperate and resolute to have Kiyoshi form a bond with him.

Aoto could be seen walking in through one of the pathway entrances that fed into the Kage building of Suna.

He made his way into the building and as he did so he immediately headed to the information department.

"Aoto!" a blonde man with a bright smile greeted him over the counter and behind him were a huge number of scrolls and bookshelves.

"Hey Haruki," Aoto greeted as he put walked forward and dropped a bag of coins, "I need all the information that you have on possible research facilities somewhere in the North and Northeast region of the Land of Wind."

Almost immediately, a slightly surprised expression appeared on Haruki's face as he spoke, "That's crazy specific. I'll have a look around and compile all that I find. You can expect it by tomorrow."

Hearing this, Aoto kept an expressionless face as he nodded and walked out, "I'll come to pick it up then."

After doing that, he then made his way through to some shops before making his way out to one of the training grounds in Suna where he had told Kiyo to meet him.

The instant that he arrived at the training ground, he was immediately left surprised as he could see Kiyoshi messing with the weapons that he had left him.

There was a simple kunai in Kiyo's right hand on his left hand was a pile of floating iron sand.

What left Aoto surprised was the fact that he could see that the iron sand in Kiyo's hand slowly began to morph into the shape of the kunai.

This was something that took Aoto a few months to formulate, even after he had formed the iron sand technique.

Seeing Kiyoshi doing this with not a shred of difficulty on his face, instead with a curious and explorative expression, Aoto was left bewildered by his talent.

'He probably has the strongest affinity towards magnet release that anyone in the clan has probably ever had,' he thought in wonder as he made his way towards Kiyoshi.

Kiyo's attention was suddenly grabbed by a series of footsteps that he heard behind him and he greeted, "Hey."

"That's very impressive," Aoto complimented as he made his way next to Kiyo and sat down.

Kiyo's face seemed to brighten at the compliment but he quickly retorted, "It's not practical yet thought."

He then pushed the iron sand kunai into the normal kunai and as he did so, the kunai immediately began to impale into the iron sand one.

However, Aoto simply dismissed it as he pulled out a square piece of paper and handed it to Kiyo.

Kiyoshi put the kunai on the ground as he took the paper in his hand. Curious why he was given a square piece of paper, "What's this?"

"That's chakra paper. It will let us know about your nature affinities," Aoto replied as he collected all the iron sand from Kiyo's other hand.

"Chakra affinities?"

"Everyone has a particular affinity towards one of the five basic nature transformations that I told you about. With us having magnet release, it is guaranteed for you to have an earth and wind affinity," Aoto explained, "I bought this paper because I wanted to see if you had any other affinities."

"I see," Kiyoshi nodded in understanding as he held the paper on either side with both his hands, "So I just inject my chakra into this piece of paper right?"

Aoto nodded.

Receiving the green light, Kiyo closed his eyes and began to circulate his chakra and injected it into the paper.

Almost immediately, the paper split into two. After splitting, the paper began to turn into a dry shade of pale brown as it began to turn into dirt and crumbled away.

Seeing this, a nod of understanding came from Aoto as he spoke, "That would explain your fearsome talent in magnet release..."

"Does that mean that I'm stuck with only magnet release forever?" Kiyoshi asked as a slightly disappointed expression came upon his face.

Seeing this look of disappointment, Aoto let out a laugh as he ruffled Kiyo's hair, "What's wrong with magnet release? Don't you know the extent of what people would be willing to go to, just to get our magnet release?"

"Is it really that strong?" Kiyoshi asked curiously as a glint of pride appeared in his eyes at the thought of being the second member of a clan that used magnet release.

Aoto then pointed to the kunai that Kiyo had set down, "Pick it up, the same way that you manipulated the iron sand but this time use more chakra."

Kiyoshi did as Aoto had told him and as he injected his chakra, he found that he was able to move the kunai on its own.

"Woah..." he marvelled at this scenario and immediately turned back to Aoto with a huge smile as he spoke, "I'm fine with just magnet release."

"Having just earth and wind, doesn't mean that you will not be able to use other natures, don't worry," Aoto commented.

"eh?"

---------------------------------

Big news in regards to the plans.

It's going to be good. I have changed plans once again as I thought this would be an interesting aspect to try out.

Enjoy this chapter, its a bit of a short one because I ended up spending all of yesterday watching.

I finished watching Moon Knight and The Last of Us. Then watched the Premier League.

Mitoma is a beast and Man Utd just can't win games despite the quality that they have.

Anyways, please send off your power stones if you like this novel. Please give this book a review as well.

The next chapter will use a chapter from the old version. An adapted version of course.
