47 Seals Water Style Divine Technique!

"Is that so?"

"The Kubikiribōchō of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist isn't entirely useless, you know."

"For example, if you were to sell the Kubikiribōchō, it would fetch a pretty good price."

Upon hearing this, Zabuza's brow furrowed tightly.

"How can such a weapon be measured by mere money?"

"Then what else is there?" Cangwu spread his hands.

Looking at Zabuza, he decided to provoke him further and, at the same time, confirm whether his understanding of Zabuza was flawed.

"Doesn't everyone know that the previous generation of Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen were kicked around like mascots by an unknown Genin from Konoha?"

"Mascots?!" Zabuza was stunned at first, then his pupils contracted sharply as he understood.

His face visibly flushed.

Clearly, Cangwu's words had struck a nerve.

Mascots?

Wasn't that just saying that four of the previous generation of Seven Ninja Swordsmen were killed by a Konoha Genin, and three ran away?

"Wasn't that the case?" Cangwu looked at him with a half-smile.

"Shut up!!!" Zabuza roared hoarsely.

Cangwu's lips curved slightly.

As expected, he hadn't guessed wrong.

This kid truly loved his Village of Kirigakure.

Unlike some unfilial sons.

All they talked about was Konoha, the bigger picture, peace, and so on.

But when they defected, they said, "If anything happens to Sasuke, I'll leak Konoha's information."

Right, after the Chunin Exams, Ninja Bear got his ticket punched. His purpose for returning was not only to remind Sasuke not to forget him but also to remind Danzo.

Finally, under the guise of love, they whitewashed themselves~

No matter how much suffering, in the end, it's all attributed to love.

Great love?

He hadn't seen any.

The Uchiha's selfishness and pride were displayed to the fullest.

They had decided Sasuke's fate without even asking him.

A five-year-old Hokage's mindset... unwilling to confide in anyone.

But if you really want to get down to it, hey~!

It's all the fault of the F4, blaming them is the right thing to do.

Cangwu looked at the furious Zabuza and had already decided not to kill him.

"Do you want to kill your way back to Kirigakure?"

"And, why is there a Village of the Bloody Mist?"

Upon hearing this, Zabuza froze.

After a long silence, he replied coldly, "Arrogant fellow!"

"If you look down on the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, you will pay a blood-like price!"

With that, Zabuza formed hand seals.

Hummm--

The next instant, using the dense fog to his advantage.

He used the Mist Body Flicker to appear on the water's surface.

As a Mist ninja, he would naturally choose a position that benefited him.

As a ninja proficient in Water Style ninjutsu, his strength would be greatly enhanced when fighting on water.

Seeing Zabuza flicker onto the water, Cangwu saw through his plan at a glance.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to test his reward.

"Teacher Cangwu!" Sakura called out, "He's a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, he must be proficient in Water Style. Fighting him on the lake is too disadvantageous!"

"Yeah, yeah! You bandaged-face guy, dare you fight on land!"

Hearing Sakura's words, Naruto quickly shouted at Zabuza.

Zabuza let out a cold laugh, "Naïve!"

As he spoke.

Zabuza began his 'spellcasting'.

He raised both hands and began forming hand seals one after another.

His gaze locked onto Cangwu.

However, he soon discovered that Cangwu remained unfazed.

Damn it!

Still underestimating me, are you?!

In his anger, Zabuza's hand speed increased significantly.

"Teacher Cangwu... is he going to be okay?" Sakura asked cautiously.

Watching Zabuza continuously form hand seals, she swallowed with some difficulty.

He's been forming seals for so long, it must be an incredibly powerful ninjutsu!

Sasuke's eyes were fixed on Zabuza's hands.

Water Style?

Naruto, meanwhile, formed a single hand seal.

Bang--

Instantly, dozens of shadow clones appeared.

Sasuke blinked in surprise.

He noticed that Naruto's mastery of the shadow clone jutsu had reached a state of perfection.

He could perform it with just one hand seal.

Reducing the seals... Nature Transformation, Shape Transformation...

"Don't rush, there's still some time," Cangwu said with a smile.

"Sakura, sometimes, when your strength reaches a certain level, you can ignore disadvantages."

"This place is surrounded by water. Even if he doesn't stand on the water, isn't he already at an advantage?"

"You still dare to ignore me?!"

"Die!"

Zabuza's enraged voice could be heard.

He had been ignored again, and Cangwu was even planning to teach them right in front of him.

One can be killed, but never insulted!

"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!!!"

Whoosh--

Instantly, the water surface around Zabuza seemed to boil.

A large amount of lake water surged upwards, rushing towards them.

It's here!

The ultimate Water Style ninjutsu, Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique, released with a total of 47 hand seals!

Rumble--

As the waves surged, the ground began to shake.

The three youngsters were all intimidated by the sheer power.

But looking at Cangwu's back, their unease instantly vanished.

Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique was, after all, an A-rank ninjutsu.

Its power and learning difficulty were incomparable to ordinary Water Style ninjutsu.

Coupled with Zabuza's current rage and the fact that he was performing it on the water, its power was naturally not to be underestimated.

The waves along the path had already submerged the trees.

Just as the three youngsters thought Cangwu would lead them to evade the attack.

Cangwu raised his hand and formed a single hand seal.

"This is..." Sasuke frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Rumble--!!!

The next moment, Sasuke was stunned.

Not just him; everyone present was stunned.

Zabuza was the most stunned.

He looked at the Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique that had suddenly appeared before Cangwu.

He felt like his nose had turned red.

A hand seal?

How could that be...

The facts were right before his eyes.

Zabuza stared at the water surface, which slowly returned to calm after a loud explosion, his face filled with disbelief and intense shame.

"This... Teacher Cangwu... is also proficient in Water Style ninjutsu?"

Gulp--

Naruto swallowed.

The previous explosion still echoed in his ears.

"Such immense chakra... Teacher Cangwu is truly amazing~" Sakura transformed into a fangirl once again.

Sasuke's mouth hung open.

This outcome was completely beyond his expectations.

How could something like this happen?

This Cangwu guy... Teacher Cangwu, just how strong is he?!

Zabuza, his pride wounded, suddenly raised his hand.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"

"The kid next to you is from the Uchiha clan, right?!"

"Damn it... is it a genjutsu? When?!"

Swish swish swish--

The familiar sound echoed again.

It was the sound of air being torn apart by incredibly fast hand seals.

Zabuza formed hand seals again.

Seeing this, Sakura stared intently at Cangwu.

If the poison hadn't taken hold so deeply, her eyes would have been sparkling with adoration.

Naruto also looked at Cangwu with a face full of anticipation.

"Teacher Cangwu, do it again~!"

You want me to do it just like that?

Hmm... it's not impossible, Shikamaru.

Kakashi can go head-to-head, so it wouldn't be good for a big spender like me to be stingy.

Sasuke's breathing quickened. He couldn't help but move closer to Cangwu, intending to see clearly if there really was only one hand seal.

After all, Cangwu had reminded him before about simplifying hand seals.

He had been working hard during this time, but he had only managed to simplify two hand seals.

Therefore, seeing a ninjutsu that originally required 47 hand seals released by Cangwu with just one was quite a shock.

After waiting for a short while.

Finally, the Water Style divine technique requiring forty-four hand seals arrived.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!!!"
