"I heard that Lord San's ninjutsu has a super wide range. Lord San, come say hello to the Stone Ninja ahead," Minato Namikaze said with a mischievous grin, patting San's head as he stood atop the mountain.
San pushed the black-hearted man's hand away, thinking, Bastard, if you touch my head again, I'll tell Kushina you have secret savings.
San's eyes reddened as he said, "You all need to be careful. This is my first time too, so don't make a mistake and hurt our own people!"
With that, San gritted his teeth, quickly formed hand seals, and shouted, "Water Release; Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
Amidst a rumbling sound, a three-meter-high wave instantly appeared, exuding an overwhelming, mountain-crushing aura.
San felt it wasn't enough. Cold sweat dripped down his face as he continued forming hand seals with one hand.
Uchiha Yue couldn't help but feel a pang of concern as she watched the fine sweat and bulging veins on San's forehead.
San trembled as he shouted, "Water Release; Great Waterfall Technique!"
On top of the already three-meter-high wave, another curtain of water descended from the sky, as if the heavens themselves had overturned or the Milky Way had fallen.
In an instant, the mountaintop Nara Shikaku had chosen turned into a vast ocean.
A wave over twenty meters wide and five to six meters high rolled down the slope with an unstoppable momentum.
San roared, "Everyone, charge!"
With that, a group of people rode the colossal wave, charging down like lightning.
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin stood dumbfounded on the ice layer San had created. Obito's lips trembled as he pointed at San, who was controlling the water, and stammered, "You're... you're lying, right? This scale... Are you a Yaoguai?!"
Kakashi's eye twitched incessantly, while Rin's gaze flickered, her face turning deathly pale.
A patrol squad, hearing the commotion from the mountain, looked up. A Stone Ninja immediately collapsed to his knees, his kunai clattering to the ground.
The Stone Ninja trembled, his eyes vacant as he stared at the giant wave descending from the sky. He opened his mouth to speak, but before a single word could escape, he was completely crushed into mincemeat by the wave!
Further down, a group of Stone Ninja quickly began forming hand seals, unleashing all sorts of chaotic defensive ninjutsu without restraint.
One Stone Ninja was so terrified that he lost all composure and unleashed a powerful Lightning Release jutsu.
The outer perimeter defense force of over thirty Stone Ninja was instantly engulfed. The wave, like a speeding train traveling at 180 kilometers per hour, slammed into over thirty eggs, crushing them instantly.
Only a few Jonin, realizing the danger, used their unique abilities to dodge the wave and then attacked the people at its crest.
As San's water barrage swept over the enemy, he yelled, "Minato!"
Minato responded, "Ah, got it."
Instantly, Minato vanished from his spot. With a series of swift movements, he killed the attacking ninja in mid-air.
In just a moment, the outer defense line was broken. With pale faces, the group rode the waves forward.
Nara Shikaku formed hand seals, using his shadow to anchor everyone. Yamanaka Inoichi, connected to Hyuga Go and San, confirmed their direction.
The others closed their eyes, crouching slightly, cooperating with Shikaku's movements to brace against the tremors.
By the time they reached halfway down the mountain, the water had turned into a raging mudslide flowing down the mountainside. The once green, tree-covered mountain now had a straight path carved through it.
San and his group were now less than five kilometers from Danzo's location and needed to push forward.
More and more grass, trees, and rocks were being swept into the mudslide, gradually escaping San's control.
San gritted his teeth and completely relinquished control over the direction, quickly forming hand seals.
Everyone felt the previously slightly bumpy ice layer suddenly become like a tiny boat, making it difficult to even stand, swaying in the stormy waves.
With a bang, three of San's clones appeared. In an instant, the clones were swept into the mudslide, a splash of blood briefly surfacing before disappearing.
San felt his almost overflowing Chakra and gritted his teeth, continuing to form hand seals.
San surveyed everyone, gritted his teeth, and roared, "Everyone brace yourselves! Water Release; Water Pot Technique!"
With a rumble, a large amount of water was instantly injected into the already turbulent mudslide. Its speed momentarily paused before becoming even more rapid. The high-speed wind whipped against everyone's faces and bodies, leaving countless small cracks.
San casually estimated the speed to be at least 200 kilometers per hour.
Suddenly, they reached a gentle slope, and Choza slipped, nearly falling. Shikaku, with quick reflexes, pulled Choza back with a shadow.
However, two plops were still heard as two Anbu members responsible for protecting San fell off the ice, disappearing in the blink of an eye!
San squatted on the ground, his hair embedded in the ice to stabilize himself, and formed hand seals again, shouting, "Everyone prepare yourselves. We're about to encounter the main force. Ice Release; Ice Prison Technique!"
Crack, crack, crack, the ice spread upwards, freezing everyone into a single block. Instantly, the ice block they stood on began to slow down, while the mudslide beneath the ice continued to surge forward at full speed.
Ahead, a group of Stone Ninja, about seventy to eighty people.
Seeing the mudslide rushing towards them, the leader's voice trembled as he shouted, "Everyone, combined ninjutsu, Earth Flow Wall!"
Instantly, with a rumble, earthen walls of varying heights stacked upon each other, forming a mound-like barrier in front of them. San roared, "Everyone prepare to throw!"
With a sudden boom, the mudslide collided with the group of earth walls.
Everyone felt a jolt beneath their feet, their insides churning. A few Root Ninja standing closer to the front vomited blood, their internal organs injured by the shock.
"Throw!"
San shouted with all his might, then hurled Minato's Flying Thunder God kunai!
Swish, swish, swish, a dense swarm of Flying Thunder God kunai flew towards the sky.
Minato gritted his teeth and shouted, "Go to hell and rise!"
With a swish, the entire ice block vanished from its spot. The next moment it reappeared above the Stone Ninjas. Blood trickled from Bing San's mouth as he roared, "Shikaku, you better not have miscalculated! Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
Bing San stood on the rapidly descending ice block and spat out a large volume of water. With a boom, the ice block smashed into the water's surface, splashing water over ten feet high.
Everyone plunged to the bottom of the water and disappeared in an instant.
The Stone Ninjas were caught between the charging mudslide and the descending water, instantly thrown into disarray.
They scrambled in every direction, but even if they could dodge the massive wave within a hundred-meter radius, they couldn't escape the mudslide that was barreling down from the mountain over several kilometers.
With a boom, the mudslide collided with the giant wave, and everyone was thrown out of the water.
Shikaku wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead and shouted, "Quick, Wind Release to slow us down! We're about to escape the water's range!"
Those who could still move unleashed a chaotic barrage of Wind Release straight ahead. Finally, the ice block boomed as it hit the water's surface once more.
The ice block cracked extensively, kaka-kaka, ultimately falling just short of shattering into pieces.
The water's speed had been significantly reduced by the Stone Ninjas' Earth Flow Wall formations and their corpses.
It dropped from its original two to three hundred miles per hour to about one hundred and seventy to eighty.
Bing San, with a face full of black soot, turned around and slapped Obito, yelling, "I told you to use Wind Release, why are you casting Great Fireball?!"
Obito rubbed his reddened cheek where Bing San had slapped him and shouted, "It was moving so fast, I only heard 'Quick Release'!"
Bing San grabbed Obito's clothes and wiped his soot-covered face, yelling, "Shikaku, if I ever play this game with you again, Choza will be your grandson!"
Shikaku was also terrified, nearly falling to his death. Shikaku shouted, "If we play this game again, I'll make Choza go play with guys!"
Choza, lying on the ice block with a bewildered expression and a cyan face from the cold, yelled, "What does this have to do with me?!"
