Scientific Naruto: The Magneto of the Hyuga Clan

Hyuga Satoru glanced at Obito, who looked like he'd lost all will to live, and thought to himself silently, 'Obito, you can't blame me.'

You're the perfect test subject because nothing stupid you do would ever be a surprise. Besides, I'm trying to motivate you to study and keep you from getting too wrapped up in puppy love. It's for your own good.

By interfering with Obito's shuriken in an experiment, he found that he could control shurikens flying at high speeds to a certain extent. In the future, ninja tools like this would basically pose no threat to him.

Looking at Obito who was dancing excitedly, Fujino Daikichi sighed, scratched his monk - fringe - like hairstyle, and immediately felt a headache coming on.

"What a weirdo the Uchiha clan has produced."

"Forget it, next, Hyuga Iruka."

A boy with a bandage on his forehead and pure - white eyes stepped out of the crowd and threw shurikens with both hands.

"Ten points, nine points, ten points…"

"So amazing. He's only a bit worse than Kakashi Hatake and the others."

"After all, he's from the Hyuga clan."

"Why does he have a bandage on his forehead?" someone murmured.

"Shh! Don't you know? That's closely related to the Hyuga clan's…"

Hyuga Iruka's expression turned cold. He subconsciously balled his fists and walked back to his position.

Fujino Daikichi nodded in satisfaction. After observing for these few days, he found that although Hyuga Iruka wasn't the most talented, he was definitely the most hardworking. For the Hyuga branch family, hard work was their only way forward.

"Next, Hyuga Satoru."

Hyuga Satoru stepped forward and grabbed several shurikens.

"Seven points, seven points, seven points… Ten points."

After getting several 7 points in a row, he barely managed to hit the 10 - point mark with the last one.

The crowd started whispering.

"Although they're both from the Hyuga family, he seems much worse than Hyuga Iruka! The gap between him and Kakashi Hatake and the others is even wider."

"Yeah, after all, not everyone is a genius."

Hyuga Satoru's expression stayed calm. He didn't want to reveal his Electromagnetic Force ability so soon. This level was more in keeping with his image as an unremarkable member of the Hyuga family.

Hyuga Iruka glanced at Hyuga Satoru and then looked away. Although they were both from the Hyuga family, they didn't interact much on a regular basis. This level didn't merit his attention.

However, Rin Uchiha stared at the target where Hyuga Satoru had thrown the shurikens. Suddenly, a glint sparked in her eyes. She noticed that the positions of the shurikens on the target happened to form a hexagram with the one in the center.

"Could it be a coincidence?"

"This is interesting."

Not long after Hyuga Satoru got home, there was a knock on the door. When he opened it, it was a guard from the branch family.

The other person, wearing a ninja headband, handed him an envelope that was slightly bulging.

"Hyuga Satoru, this is the living allowance the family is giving you this month."

Hyuga Satoru took the envelope, on which his name and the amount were inscribed.

"Okay, thank you."

The guard nodded and vanished on the spot.

This guard from the branch family was here specifically to deliver the living expenses. Hyuga Satoru would only see him once a month, and there was rarely any extra conversation when they met.

Hyuga Satoru opened the envelope. There were only 15 thin banknotes, 1,500 ryo. He felt a bit of a headache. In a world where a bowl of ramen cost 60 ryo, 1,500 ryo was really tight to last a month.

As one of the most famous clans in Konoha, compared to the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan's admiration for the clan and its system had reached an extreme. It was orderly but also oppressive.

Here, Hyuga Satoru truly felt the fickleness of human nature. As an orphan, he lived alone in a corner of the clan territory. The clan almost ignored him. This 1,500 ryo living allowance was only given because his father died for the main branch family of the clan.

The Hyuga clan never kept idle people.

But this was actually not bad. If he were from any other branch family, his actions would basically be controlled by the main branch family. Now, he managed to gain a bit of freedom.

Regarding the Caged Bird seal, Hyuga Satoru wasn't particularly afraid. Once the Electromagnetic Force reached a sufficient level, it would be almost omnipotent. Solving a cursed seal would be a piece of cake. At the very least, when he became powerful enough, he could even stage a coup and synthesize the Reincarnation Eye, which could also solve the problem of the Caged Bird seal.

The key was to have strong enough strength.

After dinner, Hyuga Satoru quietly slipped out of the clan territory and came to the forest on the back mountain.

He wanted to comprehensively test his abilities. If he did it within the clan territory, he might be discovered by his clansmen.

Hyuga Satoru threw a shuriken with all his might. With the blessing of the Electromagnetic Force, the shuriken was surrounded by a faint blue electric light and disappeared with a whoosh.

From the perspective of the Byakugan, he clearly saw the shuriken hit the tree trunk a hundred meters away.

Hyuga Satoru raised his eyebrows. The maximum killing range of a regular ninja's shuriken is about 40 meters. Even Jonin would find it difficult to break this limit. Don't underestimate this distance; it's already the height of a ten-story building.

And the attack range of ninjutsu is generally even lower. The most famous one is the Fireball Technique. Although it seems violent, its attack range is only a few meters in front. It usually only serves as the atmosphere setter during battles and is extremely easy to dodge.

There are limits to what a ninja can do!

Unless it was someone like Madara in the Naruto world, who could operate a mobile suit with one hand and create meteors out of thin air, the attack range of a regular ninja is just that limited.

But the Electromagnetic Force could allow him to break this limit!

The Byakugan has ultra-high perspective ability, and the Electromagnetic Force has an ultra-long attack range. These gave him extremely powerful sniping capabilities!

Just imagine, you're eating hot pot and singing, and suddenly you get headshot by a sniper. You don't even see the shadow of your enemy. Who can you complain to about this?

Hyuga Satoru thought for a while. The range of his Byakugan is about one kilometer. Within a one-kilometer radius, except for a one-degree blind spot behind his forehead, no living thing can escape his perception. However, even with the blessing of the Electromagnetic Force, the effective attack range of the shuriken is still only about a hundred meters. The gap is too big.

If he could develop an electromagnetic cannon, this naturally wouldn't be a problem. But with Level 1 Electromagnetic Force, he couldn't do it yet...

"So is there any ninja tool that can maximize my attack range?"

After thinking for a long time, Hyuga Satoru's eyes suddenly lit up.

A bow and arrow!

In an era without guns, Bow and Arrow is the most long-range killing weapon!

He remembered a question he saw on Zhihu in his previous life. If you were to transmigrate and become a Hyuga ninja, how would you maximize the advantages of the Byakugan? One of the highly upvoted answers was to pick up a bow and arrow.

Only when a Hyuga picked up a bow and arrow could the abilities of the Byakugan be maximized!

However, a regular bow and arrow has difficulty achieving a range of over a hundred meters. But I'm different! I have the Electromagnetic Force!

The more Hyuga Satoru thought about it, the brighter his eyes became!

Due to its structure, the bow and arrow already has a longer range than a shuriken. With the blessing of the Electromagnetic Force, it isn't impossible to reach one kilometer!

This was simply equivalent to a sniper rifle!

The kind with a built-in X-ray vision cheat!

Dude, the times have changed!

Moreover, the range of his Byakugan's penetration range will continue to increase with cultivation. Some powerful members of the main branch family in the Hyuga clan can even reach a range of 5 kilometers!

Hyuga Satoru took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Now that he had a long-range attack method, he also needed to develop some close-range attack methods. As the most famous attack style of the Hyuga clan, Gentle Fist, Hyuga Satoru said, even a dog wouldn't learn it!

He came to a tree thick enough to require both arms to hug, assumed the stance of Gentle Fist, used the Electromagnetic Force to change the magnetic field of his palm, and then struck out with a palm!

With a dull thud, the moment his palm touched the tree trunk, a pale blue light film burst out from the center of his palm. The tree thick enough to require both arms to hug exploded directly in the middle, with sawdust flying everywhere.

Hyuga Satoru shook his palm, quite satisfied with the power. Before the attack, he changed the magnetic fields of his palm and the tree trunk. At the moment of contact, a high-voltage current accompanied by repulsive force burst out instantly, directly splitting the tree in half.

If the head of the Hyuga clan were here, his eyelids would definitely twitch non-stop, and he would exclaim in shock: What the fuck is this Gentle Fist?

「I'll call this move Magnetic Storm Palm! The power is decent. If I have enough chakra, I can turn each of the sixty-eight strikes of Gentle Fist into a Magnetic Storm Palm! But...」

Hyuga Satoru frowned slightly, looking at his slightly trembling palm.

「This move places high demands on the physical strength. With my current physical strength, I'm afraid I won't even be able to complete eighteen strikes of Magnetic Storm Palm, let alone sixty-four strikes.」

Hyuga Satoru pondered for a moment and said, 「The Eight Gates seems to be the best taijutsu for improving physical fitness. The Steel Fist style is also very suitable for Magnetic Storm Palm. I have to find a way to get them.」

If the head of the Hyuga clan were here, he would probably be so angry that he would die on the spot. You're a ninja of the Hyuga clan, for god's sake, and you actually want to learn the Steel Fist style. You're betraying your master and ancestors!

After deciding on the direction, Hyuga Satoru stretched his body, feeling extremely refreshed.

「That's settled then! I'll find a way to get a high-strength bow, as well as the Eight Gates.」
