The instruments in the Naruto World, after all, could not compare to the decades of accumulation by Vegapunk in the One Piece World. That was why Vegapunk had only produced a single nano magnetic field instrument, treating it as a way to practice his skills.
Magnetic fields were the power Vegapunk was most familiar with, and since Chakra could indeed evolve into something like a magnetic field, the effects of the magnetic field instrument created this time were surprisingly good. Pakura was able to use it almost immediately after undergoing the modification and having her ability stimulated.
Afterward, Pakura underwent some more tests, allowing Vegapunk to fully understand the effects of the magnetic field instrument he had created. It was basically no different from his initial design.
First of all, although this magnetic field instrument was created based on Devil Fruit abilities, it no longer possessed the characteristics of a Devil Fruit ability itself, and there was basically no possibility of developing it to the point of awakening.
At the same time, aside from increasing the power to create a stronger magnetic field, it lacked the various strange development directions of a Devil Fruit.
Furthermore, this magnetic field instrument was not exactly the same as a Devil Fruit. What powered its ability was not physical strength, but Chakra. As a form of human energy, compared to something invisible and intangible like physical strength, Chakra was much easier to use, making the magnetic field instrument simpler to manufacture.
In terms of outward appearance, Pakura's ability was very similar to Magnet Release. In reality, it was an incomplete version of a Devil Fruit ability combined with the magnetic-attribute Chakra modified by the magnetic field instrument. Its effect far exceeded that of ordinary Magnet Release.
Even if she had just awakened, Pakura's Magnet Release ability reached a level that the Third Kazekage and Fourth Kazekage could never reach in their entire lives. If those two were to run into Pakura, they would likely be taken out in just a few moves.
Clearly, Vegapunk had chosen this ability for Pakura with the intention of having her deal with Rasa to compete for the position of Kazekage.
Pakura was clearly aware of this in her heart. After a series of tests, she had a good grasp of the limits of her ability. She didn't know much about the secret Magnet Release of the Kazekage lineage, but she was extremely confident in her newly acquired power.
No matter how strong the Kazekage's Magnet Release was, Pakura felt she could at least disrupt and seal his ability to manipulate metal. At that point, with her Scorch Release, victory would be within easy reach.
At the same time, the more familiar she became with this power, the more Pakura felt alarmed by Vegapunk's strength. The magnetic field of the same origin allowed Pakura to feel a terrifying power within Vegapunk that was countless times stronger than her own.
He clearly looked like just a little kid, so why was he not only far beyond the era in scientific research but also strong enough to rival top-tier Kage-level experts in strength?
"Alright, testing complete!" Vegapunk put away the recorder in his hand and looked at Pakura. "Next, should we test the effect of using your two Bloodline Limit abilities in combination?"
Combined application? Pakura was slightly stunned and looked at Vegapunk with a face full of surprise.
Seeing this, Vegapunk had no choice but to explain:
"Just like ordinary Five Elements Ninjutsu has combination Ninjutsu, in theory, Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu can also be used in combination. However, as Bloodline Ninjutsu are already formed by the fusion of two Chakra natures, there are basically very few combinations that can be put together."
"And your Scorch Release happens to be a Ninjutsu with a certain degree of coordination with Magnet Release. If developed well, there's a certain possibility of achieving another thing I want to accomplish."
...On the empty training ground, Pakura frowned, light sweat trickling from her forehead as she worked hard to condense a fireball.
With Pakura's Scorch Release ability, normally a fireball could be condensed without hand signs in a second. But the fireball she was condensing now was a bit different; a faint blue glow shimmered on its outer edge. That was a powerful magnetic field constraining the high-temperature plasma within.
The high-temperature fireball, compressed to its limit, finally shrank from the size of a washbasin to the size of an apple. Pakura felt she truly couldn't compress it any further. With a wave of her hand before the entire fireball could explode, the fireball, which had already turned into a ball of light, instantly flew out under the influence of the magnetic field.
The speed of the magnetic propulsion far exceeded Pakura's usual Scorch Release. In an instant, it crossed a distance of 200 meters and slammed into a metal target on the training ground.
The ball of light expanded in an instant. Even with her eyes closed, Pakura felt a stinging pain in her eyes. Then, accompanied by a loud bang, a powerful wind wave along with high heat that made her hair curl rushed toward her. Had Pakura not used Chakra to protect herself, a normal person's skin would likely have been scalded.
Retreating several steps, it took quite a while before Pakura opened her eyes. The sight before her made even this widely experienced Ninja dazed.
A massive pit over ten meters deep and dozens of meters in diameter had appeared on the ground, with faint wisps of smoke rising from it. Flowing at the bottom of the pit was a high-temperature liquid that looked like lava.
Scorch Release has strong lethality against the human body, but its destructive power couldn't really be called that strong. Pakura had never mastered such a grand killing move comparable to a Tailed Beast Ball before.
Not to mention Pakura, aside from the Tailed Beasts, the Hidden Sand Village had no large-scale destructive Ninjutsu. Whether it was Wind Release, puppets, or sand-controlling Ninjutsu, none could achieve this level of large-scale destruction.
Otherwise, the Sand Ninja wouldn't be so fond of using poison. Didn't they develop poisons precisely to make up for their lack of destructive power?
Although destructive power and combat strength aren't exactly the same—otherwise, Tailed Beasts wouldn't be so easily sealed by humans—a Ninja with weak destructive power isn't necessarily weak, but a Ninja with great destructive power is certainly very strong.
Pakura was dazed for a moment before she snapped out of it, her face suddenly flushing with excitement.
With this kind of Ninjutsu, once she became proficient, Pakura was confident she could hold her own even if she took on the entire Sand Ninja Village by herself! Such massive destructive power had always been the force all Ninja villages feared most!
"The effect is just ordinary," Vegapunk said, somewhat dissatisfied. "Through magnetic field compression, the temperature of your Scorch Release can be raised even higher... Oh well, just practice more in the future!"
Pakura was instantly stunned. This kind of power could only be considered ordinary? This destructive power was comparable to a Tailed Beast Ball! Even for some of the weaker Tailed Beasts, their Tailed Beast Ball probably wouldn't have such great destructive power!
Vegapunk scoffed at Pakura's confusion. "What does destructive power matter? If I were single-mindedly focused on destruction, I could easily destroy the world just by manufacturing a set of ultra-large magnetic field diffusion matrices and reversing the polar magnetic fields!"
"What I truly need is your Scorch Release's temperature! Only when the conditions are met can my energy requirements be unlocked!"
