4 Chapter 4: Kekkei Genkai

(From now on Tom Curi will be referred to as just Rasa).

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

Year 19 A.5V (After the establishment of the 5 great shinobi villages)

A year had passed since Rasa transmigrated to this world and entered the academy.

He had left behind his doubts about whether everything he was living was some kind of very real dream.

In this year he became convinced that the whole situation he was going through was real and this was no longer an anime world, but it was his new reality and he had to get used to it or he would not survive long in this world of war and death.

He was now 7 years old as Rasa and he was in a state of stasis, since thanks to his efforts and achievements in this year, being the little genius of the village, ending up as the biggest referent of the academy, positioning himself as the strongest of the academy at a young age, earning much praise and respect from everyone.

He had finally managed to get the third Kazekage to call him to his building to give him the scrolls with the steps to follow to master the Kekkei Genkai of the magnet element with which he was born.

Few were born with this Kekkei Genkai in the village and even fewer were able to master it correctly.

The third Kazekage gave Rasa a big lecture and speech telling him that he had great expectations of him and that he hoped to see his future development.

Rasa didn't pay much attention to that, because what interested him were the scrolls he had been given about the use of the Kekkei Genkai which for him could become one of the most powerful of all.

'In the anime, the full potential of the Kekkei Genkai of the magnet element is not shown. But if I could control it and use both magnetism and electromagnetism it would be extremely powerful' thought Rasa with expectation.

That was how he started with the development of the Magnet element.

With the help of the scroll that explained in detail the basic concepts and the steps to follow to achieve the control and transformation of chakra into magnetic forces, Rasa found it extremely easy and quick to master.

Apparently converting his chakra into magnetic forces was something natural, he just followed the predetermined steps described in the scroll and this allowed him to modify his chakra with ease.

And the instant he did this he was surprised to feel the magnetic field of all the metals, it was almost as if he could command them what to do, just with a thought.

'This really is a pleasant surprise, if I remember correctly, there was no one who could move metal so easily, in fact, the third Kazekage only manipulates iron sand and can attract kunai and swords to a certain extent but then why do I feel like I can move metal with ease?' thought Rasa confused with what he was thinking.

But he instantly realized the reason why no one could move metals with ease.

'I see, so this is the reason why the third Kazekage only manipulated the iron sand and the attraction of kunais and swords without doing anything else that is very impressive' he said to himself as he understood the reason behind it.

Even though one feels that with the magnet element one can control all metals, it is not simple at all.

First of all, to manipulate any chakra more easily, Hand Seals are often used and with these Hand Seals, users can control their chakra with greater efficiency, allowing them to execute their techniques more effectively.

There are techniques that one can do with only one hand or even without doing Hand Seals.

But the complexity and difficulty of these increase, giving a low percentage of probability that one can do it.

And therein lies the problem, the Kekkei Genkai are usually the exception since it is something unique that one is born with and comes naturally.

Obviously to be an expert in its use requires a lot of time and experience.

But unlike other Kekkei Genkai that one is usually able to manipulate naturally with greater ease despite not needing hand seals, such as Rasa with the control of gold dust, the magnet element on metal not only requires perfect control of the magnetic chakras but also great knowledge and understanding of the workings of the magnet element.

Although one can feel the magnet element easily, one cannot use it unless one has a great understanding of its characteristics.

You must know everything you are doing, from the movement and coordination needed to generate a magnetization in the elements to the proportional value of the magnetic field you are applying to the object.

And all this has to be done through the chakra which only makes things more difficult.

The Third Kazekage only uses the most basic of the fundamentals of magnetism.

He only converts his chakra into magnetic forces that allow him to make an object magnetic and thus control it at will and even move it without any physical contact, but he does it without focusing on what the magnetism is doing on that object, he focuses only on the distribution of the chakra and nothing else.

This makes him unable to control metals with ease and he must control only iron powder or attract some smaller metals like swords and kunais.

He uses magnetism as if it were a Jutsu and it is not just that, many factors affecting magnetism must be taken into account to control the metal correctly, but he has no idea how the magnetic field really works, he only knows that with a certain action he gets a certain result and that is what limits him so much.

'Although it is understandable, he doesn't even know physics so it would be almost impossible for him to understand how magnetism really works and the characteristics of it, but I must say that his explanation of how to modify and introduce the chakra of the magnet element in metals is something impeccable, I would never be able to do that since my knowledge of the chakra is far below him' Rasa wondered.

'But now I have the key to control this Kekkei Genkai like no one ever did, to think that studying physics would do me good after all' laughed Rasa.

'And of course, I must also thank the Third Kazekage who did a great job studying all his life the chakra of the magnet element, otherwise, even with all the knowledge of magnetism I have, it would not be possible for me to perfectly master this Kekkei Genkai' he mentally thanked the Third Kazekage's efforts.

Rasa would now use his research to elevate himself to another level far above what the Third Kazekage would have dreamed he could ever reach with this Kekkei Genkai.

'My use of the magnet element is going to be unstoppable and unparalleled. Now the question is should I release what I know about magnetism to help the Third Kazekage become much stronger or should I keep it to myself?' pondered Rasa.

After thinking about it for a few moments, he came to the conclusion that it was not favorable to tell anyone about knowledge that he could not explain he had, so he would keep everything a secret.

Rasa already knew that this would be his greatest weapon in the future and he believed that with magnetism he could even surpass the most powerful ninjas of this world.

'The first thing to do now is to see how to evolve my magnet element to be above the basic control that the third Kazekage has.'

Year 20 A.5V (After the establishment of the 5 great shinobi villages)

One year later, Rasa was already 8 years old.

Currently, his ability with the new and evolved magnet element has advanced by leaps and bounds.

He can now control metals weighing up to 75 kilos, but this is only for now and she feels that as he keeps practicing and increasing him magnetic chakra, he will achieve unimaginable scales not only in the increase of weight but also in the speed at which he manipulates them.

For now, manipulating an amount of metal up to 25 kilograms is achieved instantly, which is already something incredible, and if it is a small amount of metal, such as a kunai or shuriken, he can even increase its speed dramatically, reaching the speed of sound.

The biggest disadvantage he discovered when using his magnet element is that he can't move too much if he controls more than 25 kilos, since he must be extremely concentrated when manipulating metals with his mind, and the greater the weight, the more he must concentrate and also must use more chakra which exhausts him quickly preventing him from thinking and calculating well all that is needed to maintain the magnetic fields.

And with the range of metal manipulation, you have the same problem, more distance requires more effort and concentration.

So he should get closer to a certain point of the target in order not to use too many chakras and not to get mentally exhausted.

On the other hand, close combat is not his specialty, so it is not convenient to confront anyone up close.

And this leads him to the idea of having to have large amounts of metal on hand, so as not to have to rely on the metal of the other ninjas, which not only requires great effort to extract their metal depending on the range of distance they are at, but it is also more feasible to eliminate them with his metal reserves at long range and thus avoid a close confrontation as well.

Rasa came up with the idea of developing different skills for both defense and offense, creating a protective layer of metal on his body, not only achieving the goal of defending, but also flying, but for now, the latter is very difficult, since it is too much weight for his person, but later it is very feasible to make use of this.

On the offensive side, in addition to the large amounts of shurikens and kunais that he shoots at the speed of sound.

He also managed to create different metal bars and other things to attack, but all this was discarded since by deforming the metal to manipulate it and form bars and other things to attack, they fail to break through the sound barrier since the material will melt by the manipulation of chakra along with the very speed at which it goes, while the kunais and shurikens of good material, achieve their goal without melting.

This is why he must continue to look for ways to be more dynamic when attacking, so as not to always rely on the same thing and to have a greater repertoire of combat tactics in dangerous situations.
