The five Sunagakure Ninja glared at Kannazuki with hatred after discovering his Magnet Release and Kannazuki.
In their eyes, Kannazuki not only killed the Third Kazekage but also plunged Hidden Sand Village into war.
Kannazuki laughed loudly, even clutching his stomach as he did so.
Obito, whose mind was already a bit slow, became even more confused: "What is Kannazuki laughing about? There's nothing funny. They're about to kill him, so why is he laughing?"
Kakashi and Rin Nohara glanced sideways at Obito and pursed their lips.
Rin Nohara said to Obito: "Didn't you hear what Kannazuki just said? He's cut off all his lingering thoughts; there's nothing to be embarrassed about anymore. The 'one thing' Kannazuki mentioned confirming earlier was this. Kannazuki is now completely at odds with Hidden Sand Village."
The five Sunagakure Ninja simultaneously formed hand signs, intending to unleash Ninjutsu on Kannazuki.
Meanwhile, Kannazuki's five fingers on his right hand rapidly moved.
"Kannazuki! Missile Barrage!"
Kannazuki's right arm transformed, reshaping into a cannon barrel with five small-caliber muzzles. Simultaneously, Lightning Flash Sword was activated, instantly loading five small missiles into the five muzzles.
The cannon barrel began to spin, and small missiles sped towards the five Sunagakure Ninja.
After firing, five new small missiles would instantly be loaded and fired again.
Kannazuki directly bombarded these five Sunagakure Ninja.
In this Ninja World, missiles are rare because they are bulky and require a launch tube, making them very inconvenient. Although their destructive power is stronger than explosive tags, explosive tags are much more convenient, so no one uses missiles.
And in Hidden Sand Village, where technology is very backward, no one had seen what this thing was.
So these five Sunagakure Ninja thought it was some kind of Ninja tool, and two of them even tried to block it with a Kunai.
Blocking it led to an immediate explosion on the spot, obliterating them without a trace.
Fortunately, the five Sunagakure Ninja were spread out, and the power of a single small missile was limited. After the two Ninja who tried to block the missiles were blown to smithereens, the other three Ninja were sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion.
Kannazuki manipulated Kannazuki, providing fire support to the remaining three Sunagakure Ninja, making them flee frantically.
Obito and his two companions stood with their mouths slightly agape, their eyes blankly watching Kannazuki's wild bombardment.
It wasn't that they hadn't seen Kannazuki's missile bombardment before, but each time it was just one missile, and then it was gone. There was never such a continuous barrage like this.
Kannazuki stopped after a while.
Although he had made some missiles, there weren't that many. A quick burst was enough.
The three surviving Sunagakure Ninja were now dizzy and disoriented from the explosions; they couldn't hear anything but ringing in their ears.
Among these three Sunagakure Ninja, two were puppeteers, manipulating their puppets to rush towards Kannazuki.
Kannazuki disdainfully curled his lips, then hooked a finger, and Kannazuki shot out rapidly.
Kannazuki neither dodged nor avoided, allowing the attacks of the two puppets to land on his body.
With a 'ding,' the attacks from the two puppets failed to break through Kannazuki's defenses.
At the same time, a portion of the Sand Iron on Kannazuki began to spread onto the two puppets.
Not only were the puppets paralyzed and unable to be controlled, but the parts where the Sand Iron spread also emitted 'crunching' sounds as they were crushed.
To the bewildered gazes of the two Sunagakure Ninja puppeteers, their puppets were directly crushed into dust on the spot.
"Such trash puppets, I'd be ashamed to even bring them out!"
Kannazuki's fingers moved rapidly, and Kannazuki charged towards the three Sunagakure Ninja.
The three Sunagakure Ninja unleashed their Ninjutsu, striking Kannazuki's body.
Gaps were blasted into Kannazuki's body by the Ninjutsu, but in the next second, the Sand Iron would gather and restore him, as if he had never been attacked.
The three Sunagakure Ninja's eyes widened in disbelief.
"This, how is this possible?"
"Is this a puppet? What kind of puppet is like this?!"
"This puppet simply can't be destroyed, so how do we fight?"
The three surviving Sunagakure Ninja felt the urge to retreat and turned to run.
"Can you escape?"
"Kannazuki: Sand Iron Dispersal!"
A faint current flashed across Kannazuki's body, and then his entire left arm disintegrated.
After the left arm scattered, it formed tiny Sand Iron pellets. With the added boost of electricity, their firing speed became incredibly fast, instantly riddling the three Sunagakure Ninja like a sieve.
These fired Sand Iron pellets then reassembled to form Kannazuki's left arm.
The battle ended, and Kannazuki easily achieved victory.
Kannazuki manipulated Kannazuki to return to his side, then posed for Obito and the others: "Victory, within easy reach!"
Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara jumped down from the tree trunk and circled around Kannazuki, examining him.
Obito exclaimed in wonder: "Kannazuki, you really did succeed in your research, huh?"
Kannazuki retorted unhappily: "What do you mean 'really did'? It's only natural that I could research it successfully. I... am a genius!"
Rin Nohara curiously poked Kannazuki's arm with her finger: "So, does that mean your Kannazuki is invincible, Kannazuki?"
Kakashi stated with certainty: "Nothing is invincible. Everything must have a weakness, just like the five elemental releases mutually counter each other. So Kannazuki's Kannazuki must also have weaknesses."
Kannazuki pouted at the three of them: "I'm telling you three, can't you just praise me directly? Why be so unromantic? This is the first battle for my generation of Kannazuki, and he performed so well, easily handling those Sunagakure Ninja. Isn't that worth some praise from you?"
Obito and his two companions gave Kannazuki extremely perfunctory praise, then continued discussing Kannazuki's weaknesses.
Kannazuki was speechless; it would have been better if they hadn't praised him at all.
Kannazuki naturally had weaknesses, and quite a few of them.
After all, Kannazuki was made of magnetic Sand Iron, so the most obvious weakness was magnetism itself.
High temperatures would destroy the internal magnetic structure, causing the magnetism to disappear.
Using a strong magnetic field to change the direction of a magnet's magnetic moment would cause it to lose its magnetism, but this method could only be performed by another Magnet Release Ninja.
Also, through strong vibrations, the internal structure of a magnet could be altered to achieve demagnetization.
So, in terms of magnetism alone, Kannazuki had quite a few weaknesses. One could say that Kannazuki's success was due to magnetism, and his downfall would also be due to magnetism.
However, this was only the first generation of Kannazuki. Kannazuki would naturally find ways to address these weaknesses in the next iteration.
Kakashi found the material scrolls that the five Sunagakure Ninja had been transporting, which had been blasted far away, and said: "Alright, a total of three material scrolls. Same as always, Obito, Kannazuki, we each carry one back to the Konoha Garrison."
After Kannazuki, Kakashi, and Obito shouldered the material scrolls, they hurried back to the Konoha Garrison with Rin Nohara.
For the next period, Kannazuki and Kakashi's group of three began repeatedly accepting, executing, and completing missions, which could be said to be quite monotonous and boring.
After more than a month passed like this, Chiyo did not arrive, but Kannazuki instead received news of someone else.
