Water Release: Spiral Flow Burial, Sharingan!

Facing the Kaguya Clan members charging at him, Minamoto Takuya, who had used the Mysterious Peacock Method, seemingly had no way to evade.

But unfortunately for them, he was not from Hoshigakure, and the Mysterious Peacock Method was not his only means of attack.

Since Mysterious Peacock Method: Tiger Evil could not kill so many Kaguya Clan members in time, allowing many of them to slip through, then...

He simply would not use the Mysterious Peacock Method!

After letting out a roar, the purple Tiger Evil lost Minamoto Takuya's Chakra supply and vanished into the air.

At that moment, faced with a large mass of charging Kaguya Clan members, Minamoto Takuya formed hand seals.

"Water Release: Water Blade Rotation Technique!"

In an instant, several streams of water appeared around Minamoto Takuya, continuously circling him as they spread outward.

When those Kaguya Clan members came into contact with the streams, the water seemed to encounter no resistance at all, piercing through their bodies and continuing to spread.

The clansman whose body had been pierced remained standing there until someone behind him bumped into him. Only then did he collapse to the ground, split into several pieces.

This was the true use of the Water Blade Rotation Technique. When facing Obito Uchiha before, he could only make the Water Blades rotate around the surface of his body in order to stop the other party from touching him.

This was its most fundamental application.

However, it was clear that even though the incomparably sharp Water Blades cut through the bodies of most of the Kaguya Clan members, they could not cut through their fearlessness.

The remaining ones directly knocked over those in front of them, pounced to the ground, and trampled over them without the slightest concern. All they wanted was to kill Minamoto Takuya.

They constantly dodged the streams of water. Some rolled across the ground, while others leaped straight up. Their powerful jumping ability sent them soaring into the air as they lunged at Minamoto Takuya.

"Damn, what a hassle," Minamoto Takuya muttered.

The Kaguya Clan members were not particularly powerful, but their fearless attitude was truly insane.

As he sighed inwardly, a large number of Kaguya Clan members closed in on Minamoto Takuya. Some were in midair, while others rushed over from the ground. They had all crossed the deadly Water Blades and arrived before him.

Twisted smiles appeared on their faces as they were about to strike Minamoto Takuya.

"Bang!"

Minamoto Takuya turned into a puff of white smoke and dispersed.

Just as the Kaguya Clan members stood there in confusion, a stream of water suddenly shot out from beneath the white smoke and began flowing rapidly along their bodies, as though it intended to bind everyone there.

The Kaguya Clan members tried to tear apart the stream, but they could not break it at all. Even when they tried to block it with their hands, it merely curved around their palms and continued onward.

At last, the stream bound every Kaguya Clan member.

Then, a voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

The stream instantly erupted, forming an enormous water prison that engulfed all the clansmen who had approached Minamoto Takuya's shadow clone.

Minamoto Takuya then pressed a hand against the water prison. He had wanted to try this on Konan before, but had ultimately refrained out of fear that she might die. Now, however, he had the perfect opportunity for an experiment—and he had trapped so many people at once.

He licked his lips, a blood-red gleam flashing in his eyes as he formed hand seals with one hand.

"Water Release: Spiral Flow Burial!"

The calm water inside the Water Prison Technique began to rotate. This rotational force did not spin in a single direction, but instead followed the principles of the Rasengan.

Within the Spiral Flow Burial, the Kaguya Clan members were quickly torn apart by the spinning force. In the end, the water prison was completely dyed a vivid, eerie red with blood.

When Minamoto Takuya released the Water Prison Technique, no intact corpses flowed out from within, nor were there any chunks of flesh. There were only a few granules like sand.

Seeing this, surprise appeared in his eyes as well.

The viciousness of this ninjutsu had truly exceeded his expectations. In terms of power, it was completely inferior to Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

However, its consumption was very low. Of course, its conditions were also rather demanding: the opponent had to first be trapped inside a Water Prison. Still, when combined with the Water Clone Technique and Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique, it could produce a combo.

And if someone was hit by this combo, its brutality would be even greater than that of the Rasenshuriken.

For example, if he could trap Kakuzu of the Immortal Duo inside, he could directly kill all five of the other man's lives!

Of course, that was assuming he could trap Kakuzu in the Water Prison Technique.

Minamoto Takuya also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had not used this when he trapped Konan back then. Otherwise, he had no idea how far Nagato would have gone berserk. He would probably have handed all his remaining life force to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path just to kill him.

At that moment, he suddenly thought that, leaving Kakuzu aside, Hidan of the Immortal Duo should be much easier to trap, right?

Then if he used Spiral Flow Burial to turn him into this state, could Hidan still survive?

Since the premise was that being buried underground would leave him without energy and cause him to die, that meant his Immortal Body also required energy to sustain it. What kind of energy? Nothing more than Chakra or some special power granted by the evil god...

And if Hidan were chopped into this state, would that energy... still work?

If he had the chance, he could give it a try, Minamoto Takuya thought.

Even the one who had performed the ninjutsu was somewhat shocked by the brutal scene, yet the remaining Kaguya Clan members, now fewer than half their original number, showed no fear at all.

Even if they might have realized that they were no match for Minamoto Takuya, asking them to give up fighting? That was impossible!

More than death, they feared having no battle to fight!

Thus, the Kaguya Clan members charged at Minamoto Takuya once more. They had no ninjutsu, only physiques far stronger than those of ordinary people.

Honestly, such physiques were enough against Genin. Even against Chunin, they could be somewhat useful through sheer numbers. But against Minamoto Takuya, they simply were not worth mentioning.

Minamoto Takuya thought for a moment. Then he would test the other system.

He formed hand seals with both hands.

"Ninja Art—Water Mist Technique!"

In an instant, dense mist arose across what had once been Kaguya Clan territory, obscuring everyone's vision. Minamoto Takuya's figure completely merged into the thick fog.

His black eyes slowly turned crimson, a single tomoe spinning rapidly within them.

That was right—this was the Sharingan!

A few months after Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage, Minamoto Takuya had finally completed his research into the Chimera Technique and fused with Uchiha blood!
