Chapter 29 Half a Year

Lightning crawled up Logan's wrist, and eventually, the jumping current wrapped around most of Logan's right arm like obedient children, bringing him only a faint tingling sensation.

That's right, with the coin and the electricity, Logan's current posture was exactly the same as when Misaka Mikoto fired her Railgun.

Misaka Mikoto, also known as Biri-Biri, is the female protagonist of the anime 'A Certain Scientific Railgun'. Her ability is to control electromagnetic force, and the new technique Logan wanted to try was her signature move.

Logan's unique experiences once again manifested. At least in this world, no one could have imagined that Lightning Release could be used like this.

The performance in superpowers in anime were always very cool. With a flick of the finger, a massive and surging attack trailing with tail lights would destroy everything in its path.

Could fictional moves become reality? Logan felt that nothing was impossible. After all, he could cross over to this world randomly. Moreover, Misaka's Railgun was based on real science.

It is simple to activate, tremendously powerful, and so fast that it is impossible to dodge. It is natural for Logan to abandon Sasuke's Kirin and studied the Railgun naturally.

However, although the idea had long existed, this move can't be created as powerful as depicted in 'A Certain Scientific Railgun' just because one wished it to be.

The principle behind Misaka's activation of the Railgun was similar to railguns and coilguns. It created an electromagnetic field at the arm, and this electromagnetic conduit would align with the target, using its own electromagnetic force to correct the flight path and accelerate the coin.

To put it in simpler terms, it used electromagnetic force to 'shoot' the coin, reaching terrifying speeds, almost three times the speed of sound... which is basically equivalent to hitting the target immediately after launching.

This move not only had an impressive effect before and after its execution, but also was a deadly weapon for assassination.

However, in the anime, Misaka had the ability to control electromagnetic force, while Logan only has Chakra with the Lightning Attribute. It is possible to imitate it, but it obviously required extremely high Chakra control.

In the past, Logan couldn't do it, or perhaps didn't reach such stringent standards, so the Railgun never made progress. But now, he has met the requirements.

Rings of lightning continued to hover around his arm as Logan made adjustments little by little. He had no instruments or solid physics knowledge. So most of the time, he could only rely on feeling to find a correct and suitable point, and then relying on continuous practice to remember it.

After a while, Logan's forehead was covered in sweat. Controlling chakra microscopically was very exhausting mentally, something an average person wouldn't even have the qualifications to attempt.

Finally, at a certain moment, Logan felt it was almost done, and he flicked his finger lightly.

The lingering electric light suddenly brightened, and the energy that erupted according to the rules even made Logan, the caster, felt abrupt.

With well-prepared Chakra coordinated with motion, the coin in his hand advanced less than a meter before twisting…

Logan's eyelid twitched and he muttered, "Not good."

boom!

The coins were directly torn into pieces by the chaotic energy. The thunderous noise was no less powerful than a dozen Explosion Tags detonating simultaneously. Logan rolled out awkwardly from the smoke, coughing twice.

He had several charred marks on his body, a result of him throwing out Substitution Technique at the last moment.

"Damn it." Logan couldn't help but cursed, "Turns out, this isn't safe either!"

The noise caused by the failed test even attracted a group of Konoha's patrol Ninjas nearby. Logan explained it to them, but the other party looked at him with a strange look, and finally left after giving a warning.

Wiping his sweat, Logan saw off his colleagues, then looked back and saw a considerable pit blasted into the ground.

Even with his current master-level of Lightning Attribute Chakra control, it was still this difficult. Logan was unwilling to give up this powerful move that could be used as his trump card, and gritted his teeth and continued to try.

The result was as expected. Even until Logan consumed all his Chakra, there was still no success.

Logan sighed, thinking that it was always difficult at the beginning. After all, even the development of low-level Ninjutsu required knowledgeable individuals. To use the Railgun skillfully, he still had a long way to go.

After taking a look at the sky, Logan decided to call it a day. The new technique wouldn't come rushing in today, but he wasn't in a hurry anyway.

After all, according to the original work, the era of strong men excelling and constantly making things exciting was still several years away.

…

As the sun rose, casting a golden hue over the mountains and forests, in Konoha Village, Ninjas and civilians interacted in their unique ways. The river flows along the village's fields, and when the setting sun disappears into the mountains, the sky and the earth are dyed orange again.

Logan's days in the Ninja World returned to normal. After the holidays, he continued to team up with Aida and began to complete various tasks for the village as ANBU.

Logan's days passed in a routine of missions, some dangerous, some mundane. Almost half of Logan's time was spent outside the village on missions, gathering intelligence for the ANBU, protecting important figures, and occasionally going on solo missions to assassinate some unlucky targets. It's dangerous. The dangerous life of a Ninja continued to occupy Logan's life as it should be.

Time passed- one month, two months. His mission records became heavier, the dangers more frequent, but also more mundane. This was the daily routine, and Logan had not encountered the [To be continued] that connected the two worlds again.

Perhaps it wouldn't come in the short term. Logan thought so, but it was actually quite easy to deduce. [To Be Continued] appeared constantly in serialized stories, so if he was really drawn into the manga, then the passage of time in the manga would be worth pondering. For the sake of plot, the author might skip over a year or two in a single stroke, but in the manga, he would still have to live day by day.

The Naruto manga describes in great detail the life of the protagonists after graduating from the Ninja Academy, one chapter after another, and that was when things were frequent.

Logan estimated that he was still in something like a 'prequel' or an 'introduction'. Perhaps, the next time he crossed over would be six years later.

Knowing that there's still six years until he could explore the truth, Logan wasn't disappointed. On the contrary, he can make good use of this time to improve himself and face challenges. Accepting missions is undoubtedly one of the best ways to hone his skills and increase experience.

No novice could become an excellent Ninja without going through blood and fire, and ANBU's missions are very valuable for such growth.

Logan continued to complete high-level missions in this environment. He was originally like a sharp blade, but his aura has become more mature and his edge is more restrained, reflecting a subtle and intimidating light that would unsettle seasoned observers.

As the temperature dropped and snowflakes drifted down, people came and went. Logan went in and out of the Konoha's gate several times, and the wildflowers on the roadside shyly sprouted new buds again. When the last drop of melted snow water dripped from the branches, spring quietly arrived.

People shed their thick coats for thinner ones, and before Logan knew it, half a year has passed.
