Water Walking on the Sea

Soon, dozens of elite Kuja warriors, led by Sandersonia and Marigold, arrived before Uchiha Yoru's camp.

Seemingly aware of Night's strength, they didn't choose to force their way in, despite their usual recklessness.

Instead, they gathered at the entrance, demanding that Uchiha Yoru come out and give them an explanation.

The commotion attracted a large crowd of Uchiha clansmen, and the atmosphere between the two sides immediately became tense.

"Uchiha Yoru! Come out!"

"Give us an explanation!"

"Are you toying with us, Kuja warriors?!"

The tent flap was lifted, and Uchiha Yoru walked out slowly.

His face showed little surprise, as if he had long anticipated this scene.

He calmly swept his gaze over the indignant Kuja warriors before him, finally landing on Sandersonia, who was at the forefront.

"Captain Sandersonia, and everyone else, why are you so angered?" Night's tone remained calm.

"Clan Head Night!" Sandersonia suppressed her rage and stepped forward.

"Please explain! Why do you require those special eyes of yours to teach us the method of controlling Sea Kings, as you promised?

And is it true that only when we reach the so-called Jonin-level Chakra capacity will the genjutsu you teach be effective against Sea Kings?

So much time has passed, and we've only barely reached the Genin level!

Does this mean you never intended to fulfill your promise from the very beginning?!"

Uchiha Yoru did not panic in the face of Sandersonia's questioning.

He had already prepared a countermeasure.

"Everyone, please calm down." Night raised his hand, signaling for quiet. "I have never intended to deceive you regarding this matter."

Night maintained a serious expression as much as possible.

He surveyed the crowd and slowly said, "What I promised was to teach you the method of controlling Sea Kings.

And for my Uchiha Clan, the most effective and common way to control large creatures, especially those with lower mental resistance, is indeed by relying on the pupil power of the Sharingan combined with powerful Chakra to cast advanced genjutsu. Shisui was not wrong about this."

He then changed his tone:

"However, the method to control Sea Kings must have a very high barrier to entry, a point I believe you can all understand.

My original plan was to first help you build a foundation of Chakra, and then, when individuals with talent emerged in the future, I would teach them the method.

I just didn't expect that your talent for cultivating Chakra would indeed be much worse than I imagined."

Night shook his head, appearing regretful.

"Poor talent? Our Kuja tribe are born warriors."

A Kuja warrior couldn't help but retort.

But after thinking about the Uchiha Clan's performance over the past few months, she could only weakly add.

"It must be that you don't know how to teach! That's why our progress is so slow!"

"That's not important. What's important is making amends and figuring out how to compensate the Kuja tribe for this loss."

Night's voice rose slightly, overpowering the surrounding noise.

"I've been thinking, is there a way to allow everyone to immediately experience the tangible benefits of this power at their current Chakra levels!

A technique that, even with a small amount of Chakra, can play a huge role at critical moments, especially on this vast sea!"

His words successfully captured everyone's attention.

Even the most furious Sandersonia frowned, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Night's gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on the sparkling sea in the distance, and he said word by word:

"Therefore, I've decided to first teach everyone the most basic, yet most practical application of Chakra – Water Walking."

"Water Walking?"

"What's that?"

The Kuja warriors looked at each other, the term completely foreign to them.

"You're not going to teach us those useless tricks again, are you?"

Sandersonia asked with some disdain.

A while ago, after the Kuja warriors gradually gained Genin-level Chakra, Night generously declared he would teach them a secret technique.

The Three Body Technique!

When they saw Night use the Clone Technique to create two identical copies of himself, everyone was startled.

But can you explain to me why the other two clones couldn't attack?

What's the use of a clone that can't attack?

Are they just there to be spectators?

And that so-called Substitution Technique.

What kind of instant substitution is it, where you dodge an attack and swap places with a nearby tree stump?

If I can dodge the opponent's attack, why would I need to grab a tree stump?

Why don't I just punch them back directly?

Only the Transformation Technique is genuinely useful.

But even that is at best an interesting little trick.

Any technique that doesn't improve combat power is practically useless in the eyes of Kuja warriors.

Yoru was out of ideas then. There are only so many E-rank ninjutsu, and the Three Body Technique is already considered relatively useful.

If even the Three Body Technique isn't good enough, then there's no point in mentioning other ninjutsu.

I can't exactly pull out Konoha's secret technique, the E-rank taijutsu Thousand Years of Death, can I?

Using that move in front of all those women would mean he wouldn't be able to stay on Kuja Island anymore.

"Not this time, I guarantee it'll be useful to you all. Just wait to be shocked!"

Yoru didn't explain further and led the group to the edge of the camp, near the sea.

Under the puzzled gazes of everyone present, Yoru walked step by step onto the surface of the sea!

His feet stood firmly on the undulating waves, as if walking on solid ground!

"Wh-what?!"

"He's walking on water?!"

"How is this possible?!"

Exclamations erupted one after another.

The warriors of Kuja Island lived by the sea year-round and knew its fury well.

Apart from specific tools like ships, they had never seen anyone stand on the sea's surface so effortlessly!

This completely overturned their understanding!

"As you can all see," Yoru said, standing on the sea, his voice carrying clearly, "this is Water Walking."

"By precisely concentrating Chakra at the soles of your feet, creating suction and repulsion forces with the water's surface, you can stand and walk on water.

It doesn't require a vast amount of Chakra; the key lies in control techniques.

With the Chakra levels you currently have as Genin, as long as you master the method, it's more than enough to support you moving on the water's surface for a considerable amount of time!"

He paused and presented the most enticing prospect:

"Imagine this. After encountering enemies at sea, you can directly charge across the ocean towards them.

If you encounter a shipwreck, or get caught in the doldrums and accidentally fall into the water, you can use your legs to walk to safety.

This skill is surely not just a small trick, is it?"

These words, like huge stones thrown into a calm lake, stirred up monstrous waves in the hearts of the Kuja warriors!

Many of those present were members of the Kuja Pirates, and they instantly understood the technique called "Water Walking."

It seemed like a truly valuable skill!
