Chapter 197
Natsuki's face was full of excitement. Remembering Senju Hashirama's techniques, he clapped his hands together and released his chakra:
"Mokuton (Wood Release): Unleash the Pants!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Trees instantly sprouted from the ground, forming a dense forest within seconds. It was a magnificent sight.
With his enormous chakra reserves and being in the special laboratory, he didn't worry about consumption at all.
Creating an entire forest was no challenge for him.
However, Natsuki suppressed his excitement, deciding not to waste time creating new techniques himself. Next time he visited the Senju archives, he would directly learn Hashirama's Wood Release ninjutsu, saving time and mental effort.
He'd rather use that time to fuse new Kekkei Genkai.
Since there was still time left in the special laboratory, Natsuki continued his synthesis experiments.
The only combination left was Lightning nature and Earth nature. Thankfully, he had already theorized that their fusion would produce Jiton (Magnet Release).
Although Magnet Release's nature combination wasn't stated in the original work, anyone who studied electromagnetic induction would understand. Just think of the anime Dr. Stone – hitting an iron rod wrapped in copper wire with electricity turns it into a magnet. Iron and copper are minerals, which are essentially Earth nature. Thus, combining Lightning and Earth would produce Magnet Release.
Once you understood the logic, it was simple.
With two successful fusion experiments behind him, Natsuki proceeded with ease.
After three hours and a few failures, he finally fused Lightning and Earth chakra natures. As he released this chakra, the iron ninja tools he had prepared nearby were instantly attracted by his magnetic chakra, floating into the air like happy little birds.
"Success! Now I have Ranton (Storm Release), Mokuton (Wood Release), and Jiton (Magnet Release)! Who can compete with me!?"
Natsuki felt unstoppable, wanting to announce it to the entire ninja world.
Of course, that was just arrogance speaking – he wouldn't actually do it. A ninja's abilities were secrets to be kept hidden unless absolutely necessary.
For now, he only planned to share it with Tenten, and perhaps Shino as his closest friend.
As for the others, they would find out naturally if he ever needed to use these bloodline abilities against powerful enemies.
Seeing there was still time, Natsuki decided to further familiarize himself with his new Kekkei Genkai. He summoned a massive sword with Kuchiyose (Summoning Technique). Using Magnet Release, the sword floated steadily in the air, and he stepped onto it.
Sword riding flight!
A dream of countless boys – now realized in such a way. It felt amazing.
Natsuki controlled the sword with magnetic force, flying through the air. Along the way, he used Wood Release to create vast forests, then destroyed them with Storm Release, testing various techniques and having the time of his life.
By the time he snapped out of his fun, the rooster was already crowing outside.
He quickly left the training room, planning to shower, but saw Tenten opening the door and entering.
"Tenten, why are you up so early?" Natsuki glanced outside. It wasn't even dawn yet.
At this hour, probably only Guy and Lee were up for morning training. Most people, especially girls their age, were still sleeping soundly.
After all, not sleeping enough would affect growth.
Tenten looked at his sweaty, exhausted state with a knowing expression:
"I knew you'd be like this again, so I came early to take care of you. Sit down, I'll run you some hot water."
She walked into the bathroom.
Watching her busy herself in the bath, Natsuki couldn't help but smile.
In this world, having someone who constantly cares about you, worries about you, and does things for you – things they consider natural, but you see as incredibly heartwarming…
That… was probably love.
To Tenten, she already saw herself as his wife, so doing these things felt natural.
But to Natsuki, who had come from another world as an orphan, he had now found a family, someone he loved, and he felt he could find true happiness here.
After bathing, Natsuki wasn't in a hurry to go back to sleep.
Using Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God), he took Tenten out of Konoha, appearing in a deserted forest. This was a place where he had previously left his seal during a mission for convenient travel.
Tenten blushed:
"Natsuki, why did you suddenly bring us here? Don't tell me… you think doing it in the wild is exciting? I don't mind, but there are too many mosquitoes out here."
"What are you thinking!?"
Natsuki almost burst out laughing.
"I brought you here to show you my new Kekkei Genkai abilities."
Tenten's blush deepened as she realized her misunderstanding, but curiosity quickly lit up her eyes:
"You mean… you successfully fused another Kekkei Genkai!?"
Natsuki nodded:
"Yes. Last night's efforts paid off. Let me show you."
He clapped his hands and used Mokuton: Jukai Kōtan (Deep Forest Emergence), creating dense, towering trees throughout the forest. Then, using Magnet Release, he summoned massive amounts of iron sand from the ground, shaping it into a gigantic Iron Sand Giant that smashed down the trees, flattening the area in moments.
Tenten's eyes widened in awe and joy:
"Natsuki… you succeeded in fusing both Wood Release and Magnet Release? You now have three Kekkei Genkai!"
Natsuki smiled, clapped his hands again, and used Mokuton: Three-Room-One-Hall Technique to build a wooden house.
He led Tenten inside, asking her to take out breakfast so they could eat together.
But Tenten wasn't thinking of food at all. Her gaze was fixed intensely on her boyfriend:
"Natsuki, you're amazing. You even succeeded in fusing Wood Release. Doesn't that make you as strong as the First Hokage? You're already like a God of Shinobi!"
Natsuki shook his head:
"No. Hashirama was different. What was strong wasn't Mokuton – it was Senju Hashirama himself."
Tenten didn't quite understand, but she said firmly:
"I think you're even stronger. You have three bloodline limits now, and your strength has long surpassed Tsunade-sama. If anyone called you the strongest in Konoha, I'd be the first to agree!"
Of course you'd agree.
I'm your man after all.
Natsuki pinched her cute nose:
"Whether I'm the strongest doesn't matter. I just want to protect you, protect dad, and protect all our friends."
Tenten's eyes filled with emotion. She glanced at the wooden bed in the room, bit her lip, and said:
"Natsuki… I think we should start discussing… having children."
Pfft! Cough cough cough!
Natsuki almost choked to death.
