Ultimate Water Style

"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!!"

Without waiting for the others to react, Yu quickly formed hand seals.

A wall of water, violent as an ocean wave, erupted from his mouth. It circled around the five of them, sealing them inside and firmly blocking all incoming attacks.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Water Style Yu unleashed in an instant deflected all the incoming shuriken and kunai, while explosive tags detonated continuously against the water wall.

"Besides the Seven Ninja Swordsmen... are there other enemies?!"

Standing within the water wall Yu had created, Kurenai Yuhi, Might Duy, and the others immediately drew their kunai, remaining on high alert.

"To use such exquisite Water Style ninjutsu in a place without any water..."

"It seems he's no simple brat..."

On the grass outside the forest, dozens of ninja had gathered at some point.

Judging by the headbands they wore, they were Mist Ninja. The middle-aged Mist Ninja standing at the front spoke up.

"So many Mist Ninja?"

"The Mist actually sent this many people!"

As the water wall that had been shielding them finally collapsed, the expressions on the faces of Guy, Ebisu, and the others changed drastically upon seeing the dozens of Mist Ninja appearing on the grass.

"What is going on? Just how many reinforcements did Konoha send..."

"Those lords from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen actually failed to finish off these few brats?"

Watching Yu and his group of five successfully escape the forest and feeling the intense vibrations of battle still echoing from within, one Mist Ninja wore a look of confusion.

"Stop the chatter! Finish these brats off quickly, then go inside to support the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!"

The Mist Ninja jonin at the front commanded in a deep voice.

Though he didn't know how many reinforcements Konoha had sent to stall the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he had no patience left to waste. Feeling the tremors of battle from the forest, he wanted this over with.

"Yes!"

Hearing the jonin's order, the group of Mist Ninja before Yu and the others revealed bloodthirsty smiles. "Let's go! Let's twist the heads off these brats as fast as we can!!"

"Charge with me!!"

"Break the limbs of these Konoha brats! Let them know what a real ninja is!!"

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and the ground shook incessantly.

The dozens of Mist Ninja charged toward the five of them, their faces twisted with malice.

"We're done for..."

"With this many ninja, we can't escape!"

Seeing the dozens of Mist Ninja appearing on the grass and facing such a lopsided situation, Ebisu's face was filled with despair.

Beside him, Kurenai Yuhi and Might Guy said nothing, but their expressions were equally grim.

The real battlefield was truly cruel beyond measure.

First the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and now this elite unit of Mist Ninja.

As the youngest ninja in Konoha, they had encountered a hopeless, near-certain-death situation on their mission.

"It's too early to give up..."

"One jonin, twelve chunin, and the rest are genin. We still have a chance."

"Leave that jonin to me. You guys just try to hold on..."

Looking at the dozens of elite Mist Ninja charging across the grass, only Yu, the youngest of the five, remained calm.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"

As soon as Yu finished speaking, the sound of a violent waterfall erupted from his palm.

The intense flow of water was compressed and rotated rapidly. A highly concentrated, high-pressure water spear appeared in his hand, spinning and roaring with such intensity that it drew the attention of every ninja present.

Water Style: Hard Vortex Water Blade!!

"What is that?!"

Genma Shiranui's eyes widened. He stared fixedly at the Hard Vortex Water Blade in Yu's hand, so shocked that the senbon he had been chewing dropped onto the grass.

"This level of nature transformation..."

Watching the ultimate Water Style technique Yu was wielding, Kurenai Yuhi and Might Guy were stunned. "I finally understand why he's called Konoha's number one genius..."

Seeing the spiraling high-pressure water spear in the hands of the youngest Konoha boy, the Mist Ninja jonin felt a surge of intense unease and immediately roared at the surrounding ninja: "Scatter! That Water Style..."

"Boom!!!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Yu had already hurled the high-pressure water spear.

The Mist Ninja jonin reacted in time, immediately performing the Body Flicker Technique, shielding his front with his hands as he retreated at high speed.

A massive force sent him flying, and after a deafening boom, the Mist Ninja jonin watched as the high-pressure water gun Yu had thrown vanished into thin air.

A moment later, it reappeared out of nowhere, violently forming a colossal water tornado. Its terrifying power sucked in all dozen or so Mist Ninjas present, shredded them into pieces, and spat them back out.

Blood spread across the grass.

As the shocking water tornado gradually dissipated, the remaining Mist Ninjas stared at the lake formed on the grass and the dozen mangled corpses beside it, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Damn it, to think he could use a Water Release jutsu of this caliber... That Konoha brat is no simple character."

The Mist Ninja jonin who had escaped the disaster felt a sharp pain in his arm. "I was only grazed, yet I'm injured this badly..."

A six or seven-year-old brat had wiped out over a dozen of their elite ninjas with a single jutsu.

As the strongest known ultimate Water Release, the power of the Hard Vortex Water Blade far exceeded everyone's imagination.

"Such... such astonishing power..."

After witnessing the terrifying carnage caused by Yu's jutsu, Genma Shiranui and Ebisu stood stunned for a long while before finally snapping back to reality.

"Yu is so amazing..."

Gazing at the back of the white-haired boy, Kurenai Yuhi's beautiful face was also filled with shock.

"He truly lives up to being the strongest genius in our village; he's even more powerful than that guy Kakashi!"

Seeing the stunning effect of Yu's jutsu, Might Guy finally regained some confidence, his eyes once again brimming with fighting spirit.

"Alright! Everyone, let's push through in one go! We're breaking out from here!!"

Morale surged instantly, and the four people behind Yu drew their ninja tools and stood back-to-back.

"You lot, go deal with those brats!"

The Mist Ninja jonin commanded the group of Mist Ninjas behind him.

"I... will go kill that white-haired kid!!"

With that, the Mist Ninja jonin stared at Yu across the field, a bloodthirsty smile curling his lips.

He drew the katana from his back and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique, flashing across the grass in the blink of an eye as he charged rapidly toward Yu.

Seeing their leader make the first move, the group of Mist Ninjas behind him also roared and swarmed toward Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, and the other two.
