Chương 98: The Birth of Thunder Scalpel
Still not feeling tired in the dim light of his room, Haruto sat cross-legged on the floor, his mind focused and his body weary after hours of repeated failures. The idea of the Thunder Scalpel had been burning in his thoughts, and tonight he was determined to bring it to life. The theory was sound: combine the precise cutting power of the Chakra Scalpel with the raw, electrifying force of Lightning Release. Yet, despite countless attempts, the execution was proving to be more difficult than he had anticipated.
His desk was scattered with scrolls, notes, and sketches—diagrams of the human body, chakra pathways, and the integration of lightning into the scalpel. Each failure had taught him something new, but success still seemed just out of reach.
Taking a deep breath, Haruto once again formed the hand seals for the Chakra Scalpel, feeling the sharp, focused chakra flow into his fingertips. The scalpel was a technique he had mastered with ease, its control now second nature to him. But tonight, he would push it further.
In his other hand, he gathered the crackling energy of the Lightning Bolt Jutsu, feeling the familiar hum of electricity building between his fingers. His goal was simple, but difficult—merge the two forces into one seamless technique.
With his Two Minds ability, he felt confident he could handle the complexity. One part of his mind remained entirely focused on maintaining the precision of the scalpel, ensuring its stability. The other mind channeled the volatile energy of the lightning, weaving it slowly into the scalpel.
Slowly, Haruto allowed the lightning to flow into the chakra scalpel. At first, the two forces resisted each other, as they had in every previous attempt. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he concentrated, pushing the lightning chakra into the scalpel with more care. The chakra flickered, unstable, but then—finally—something shifted.
For the briefest moment, the two jutsu began to merge. The edge of the scalpel flared with electricity, sparking with power as the lightning extended its range. Haruto's breath caught in his throat. The glowing blue light crackled at the scalpel's edge, sharp and deadly. He could feel the immense cutting potential, the lethal precision now charged with the speed and power of lightning.
This was it—the first true step in combining these techniques.
But just as quickly as it had formed, the balance slipped. The lightning chakra flared, overpowering the delicate control of the scalpel, and the jutsu collapsed. Sparks flew in the small room, the energy dissipating with a sharp pop. Haruto released the jutsu, his hands tingling with the aftermath of the surge.
Panting slightly, Haruto sat still, catching his breath. It hadn't lasted long—just a few seconds—but it was enough. The technique had worked, however briefly, and that was all the confirmation he needed. The Thunder Scalpel wasn't just an idea anymore. It was real, and with time, he could refine it.
For now, it was limited to the scalpel in his hand, but Haruto's ambitions stretched far beyond that. He could already see it—one day, the Thunder Scalpel would evolve into a whip-like weapon, extending far beyond his reach, capable of shredding through enemies with deadly precision and electrifying power.
He stood up, his body sore but his spirit alight with excitement. Tonight had been the first step, and though there were many more to come, Haruto knew he was on the path to mastering something truly dangerous.
One day, he thought, this scalpel will become a blade that reaches far beyond my hand. And when it does, nothing will stand in my way.
