Kamishiro leaned against the window, staring intently at a spider in a potted plant.
Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara felt that some nerve in Kamishiro's brain must have twitched again, as he was actually studying how a spider could take flight from the ground.
How could a spider possibly fly? Besides, even if it could fly, so what?
Kamishiro saw the spider's abdomen spin out a silk thread, and then it flew from the leaf it was on to another one.
"It flew again!"
Obito and the others also saw that the spider had indeed flown.
Kakashi asked in confusion, "And then?"
Kamishiro rubbed his chin, feeling a headache. "It's right on the tip of my tongue, like food stuck in the esophagus that won't go up or down. What exactly is the principle behind this?"
Obito scratched his head. "I have no idea what you're doing. Come check out the notice with us first. That's the notice about Minato-sensei becoming the Hokage!"
Kamishiro looked at Obito. Just as he was about to say he wouldn't go, he saw the hair that Obito had been scratching stand on end.
Kamishiro felt as if someone had struck his head with a club; suddenly, everything clicked!
Kamishiro revealed an expression of wild joy. "So that's how it is! I understand, I understand!"
Obito furrowed his brow. "What do you understand? Tell us!"
Kamishiro said excitedly, "The spider is able to take flight because of the electric field around us! Charges of opposite signs attract, and charges of the same sign repel. It's just like how some of your hair stood up after you scratched your head, Obito; the principle is the same! Therefore, as long as the repulsive force between the spider and the ground is greater than gravity, the spider can use that repulsion to fly into the sky. Spinning the silk is the key to the spider taking flight. When the spider spins silk, it is accumulating negative charges, and finally, it takes flight through the repulsive force of negative charges against negative charges!"
Pakura and the three of them felt their heads spinning. What on earth was he talking about?!
Kamishiro was becoming more and more excited as he spoke. "Although an electric field doesn't necessarily mean there is a magnetic field, and a magnetic field doesn't necessarily mean there is an electric field, a changing electric field will produce a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field will also produce an electric field. Constant electric or magnetic fields do not produce magnetic or electric fields, but uniformly changing electric or magnetic fields will produce stable magnetic or electric fields, and periodically changing electric or magnetic fields will produce periodically changing magnetic or electric fields. In other words, if I utilize this point and use the magnetic properties of my Magnet Release, I will be able to fly at will without needing Sand Iron Wings to fly!"
Obito was speechless. "In other words, you stared at a spider for ages just to talk about flying? You can already fly; how does this help at all?"
Kamishiro sighed. "As expected, it's useless to explain it to you guys. Sand Iron Wings consume a lot of Chakra, but if I fly using this method, the Chakra consumption will be negligible because I am merely changing the electric charge of the electric field by altering the magnetic field to make myself fly; it is flying by borrowing an external force. And this is just the most basic part. As long as I can utilize this characteristic well, I will be able to accomplish many things that were previously impossible. Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. Looking at the clear stupidity in your eyes, I know you won't understand anything. I'm going to find Orochimaru-sama; only Orochimaru-sama can understand me. Also, I need Orochimaru-sama to support me with some experimental equipment. For the first time, I feel that my Magnet Release Bloodline Limit is truly great~"
Kamishiro said to Pakura, "Pakura, I won't be eating lunch or dinner. I'll be back home in the evening."
Pakura urged, "Mm, don't be too late."
Kamishiro stepped out of the door and left home.
Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara looked at each other. They really hadn't understood what he was saying, but they did understand that Kamishiro had called them stupid.
The three of them followed Kamishiro.
"Kamishiro, look!" Obito pointed excitedly at a notice board ahead.
Kamishiro walked over to the notice board and read it.
[Effective from today, the current Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi is resigning from his position. Minato Namikaze will succeed as the Fourth Hokage, and the inauguration ceremony will be held in three days! —— Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi]
Seeing the notice, Kamishiro asked, "So Minato-sama is the Hokage now, right? Where is Minato-sama? Come to think of it, I haven't seen Minato-sama today; he wasn't even there for breakfast."
Kakashi said as a matter of course, "He must be at the Hokage Building. There must be a ton of things to do for the Hokage transition."
Kamishiro nodded. "That's true. Then I'm going to find Orochimaru-sama. Are you coming?"
"You go by yourself; we won't go."
Orochimaru gave people the feeling that he was harboring malicious intentions and might suddenly bite someone at any moment, so Obito and the others were still a bit intimidated by Orochimaru.
"Fine, then I'll go alone."
Kamishiro arrived at Orochimaru's research base.
This research base had been prepared for Orochimaru by Danzo, and although he had fallen out with Danzo, the base still belonged to Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru-sama! Orochimaru-sama! Where are you?" After entering the underground research base, Kamishiro began to shout at the top of his lungs.
Kamishiro didn't see anyone after entering; it was empty.
"Huh? Is he not here?"
Just as Kamishiro was planning to leave, Orochimaru appeared behind him like a ghost, giving Kamishiro a fright.
Kamishiro patted his chest. "Orochimaru-sama, can you not be so elusive? It's very scary!"
Orochimaru ignored Kamishiro and just stared at him. Kamishiro saw... resentment in Orochimaru's eyes?
Kamishiro laughed dryly. "O-Orochimaru-sama, why, why are you looking at me like that?"
Orochimaru finally spoke. "Follow me."
Kamishiro followed Orochimaru into a laboratory. The inside of the laboratory was in a mess, and an electric wire was still sparking.
Kamishiro said in surprise, "What happened here? Could it be that your experiment didn't go well, Orochimaru-sama, and you smashed everything in anger?"
Orochimaru had almost always been expressionless, but now, the veins on his forehead were very distinct.
"Go, clean this place up."
"Huh? Why?"
"If it weren't for someone who came in and started shouting, this place wouldn't have ended up like this."
Orochimaru stared at Kamishiro with an unfriendly gaze.
Kamishiro immediately understood. No wonder he seemed to see resentment in Orochimaru's eyes when he first saw him; it turned out that he had disturbed Orochimaru's experiment, which caused the mess here.
Kamishiro immediately stood straight and promised, "Doing something for Orochimaru-sama, I will definitely handle it perfectly!"
Kamishiro started to clean up, but he wasn't good at cleaning. Before Pakura arrived, the cleaning at home was always done by Kamishiro tricking Obito or Rin Nohara into doing it for him, or Uzumaki Kushina would help him clean it up because she really couldn't stand it anymore. As for Kakashi... he wasn't easy to trick and had never fallen for it. Even when he was in the Hidden Sand Village, Kamishiro would just accumulate the trash, pile it up, and sneak it away to throw it out. Being bad at cleaning, Kamishiro was now practically causing destruction.
Orochimaru watched as the experimental materials on the shelves were dropped onto the floor one by one by Kamishiro, his eyelids twitching wildly.
